Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Ah this..."

"Vina!" Hampa turned to Aslan and said, "What do you think? Why do you think Victoria can't win this war?"

"Because..." Vina looked at Hampa, then raised her head, and looked at everyone present. They were all waiting, waiting for Aslan's descendants to find the answer to the question.

"Because... Victoria, the foundation on which this country rests, has been shaken."

The foundation...shaken?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, unable to understand the meaning for a while.

Hampa nodded, tapped his paws lightly on the table, and said: "Go on, Vina, keep talking."

Wei Na nodded and continued:

"So... let me give you a [little thing] as an example... My companions and I mainly live in the lower town of Londinium and operate under the name of the Glasgow Gang."

"In our years-long campaign, we have witnessed many...injustices."

"Some of you here may not know that even in this great country of ours, in this great capital, there are still many people living in poverty with one meal a day, or even one meal every two days."

"Most of them are workers at the bottom, as well as some poor people who are sick and unable to work."

"We have seen many such people, such as Old Huck on [-]th Street in the Satyen District. He was originally a watchmaker, but lost his eyes in an accident... He could only rely on the financial support of his son, a worker."

"Another example is the little girl Arya who works in a flower shop. Her mother is an infected person. We all know that Victoria's attitude towards infected people is not friendly... She can only live frugally and work part-time as a laundry worker. The front desk of the flower shop…”

Wei Na gave a few more examples, and in her words, people struggling in the darkness appeared in front of everyone one after another.

"This...Londinium...how could this happen?"

The Duke of Cumberland clenched his hand. He looked at Gray Wing aside and said seriously: "You...what's going on?"

"We are sorry, Lord Cumberland..." The leader of Gray Wing lowered his head and said: "We... you also know that we are mainly responsible for the Oaktree District and the surrounding districts... the outer city, this is Lentini The most chaotic and disorderly place in Mu is that even we don’t have any spies here.”

"Then you don't know? The specific situation in the outer city?" Cumberland rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Also, I remember that the welfare decree promulgated by His Majesty has been implemented since a few years ago. Bar?"

"Isn't the decree providing the most basic living security of one pound per month to all people with Victorian citizenship? Why don't they have it?"

"The arrangement and execution of decrees are always two different things, Duke of Cumberland."

Hampa jumped in front of Cumberland and explained calmly: "A sum of money, coming out of the Londinium Royal Court, will first pass through the Upper House, then the Lower House, and then be distributed to officials at all levels, and finally into the hands of those who need it.”

"This is a long process, like a big wave washing away the sand."

"In the end, very few end up in those poor people's pockets."

"How dare they?!" Duke Cumberland's eyes widened:

"Those members of the Lower House are also from civilian backgrounds!"

"That's Victoria's problem, Uncle Cumberland."

Vina looked at her elder. Objectively speaking, Robert Cumberland was a kind man, but kindness could not solve Victoria's problem.

"Don't underestimate the despicability of people, let alone the evil in people's hearts."

"Members of the House of Commons are of course from the common people, but members of the common people do not necessarily speak for the common people."

"Some people, they stand on high places, not to pull people over...but so that they can step on others."

"So, don't believe in origin, let alone bloodline..."

Chapter 25 Common Enemy

The Duke of Cumberland was shocked today.

This was the first time he realized that the parliamentary system that had existed for generations in Victoria was so chaotic. The parliament that originally embodied the kindness and tolerance of the previous kings of Victoria had turned into a hotbed of corruption...

The Duke of Cumberland's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly thought of something even more terrifying——

The Parliament of Londinium is like this, so what about other places...

"I can responsibly tell you, Lord Cumberland, that what Vina is talking about happens not only in Londinium, but everywhere in Victoria."

"Decades ago, I spent some time in Caraton, and there was even a case where people hired murderers to hinder the establishment of a special zone for infected people... and it happened between two congressmen."

A congressman, in order to hinder the proposition put forward by a congressman, would choose to hire a murderer to kill someone!

The Duke of Cumberland has become a little numb. It was not until today that he discovered that the country he and the king had managed diligently in the past had been tormented by these people.

Is this still the great Victoria?

With so much decay and depravity, it’s no wonder he can’t defeat Sarkaz.

"Parliament, officials, great nobles, the upper echelons of this country are filled with these degenerates."

"They may not have any real talents, but when it comes to exploitation and making money, they know everything better than God!"

Regardless of power or wealth, as long as Victoria's current system lasts for one day, they will suck blood for one more day.

"Until this country is destroyed."

"Short-sighted!!"

The Duke of Cumberland slapped his hand heavily on the table, making Aledee beside him feel a little sorry for his father.

Father rarely gets so angry... He has always been gentle...

"What do they think they are doing!? They have never thought about how they will deal with themselves if Victoria collapses one day?!"

"This is the terror of capital, Lord Cumberland. Capital will turn people into devils, and devils will not be destroyed by the destruction of their country."

Hampa stepped on his feet, looked around, and said to everyone:

"I once talked about this issue when I was leading the guerrillas in Ursus on the snowy plains."

"Our weapons can of course destroy those sad bodies, but the capital that controls their hearts and bodies will not dissipate with life."

"Capital decays, it decays in people's hearts, slowly destroying everything."

“When this country cannot meet the security that capital pursues, they will leave and resurrect themselves.”

"When Victoria collapsed, those officials and nobles who had made a lot of money would leave this land with their wealth. They would go to another place, such as Colombia, Letania, Syracuse, etc. Yanguo.”

"In short, the devils who have seized wealth from this land will not care about the rise and fall of this country. They will only become slaves to wealth, abandon the morals and ideals we advocated in the past, and turn into profit-seeking things."

“Why can’t such brilliant Victoria defeat Sakaz?”

"I think everyone already has the answer, right?"

"The Grand Dukes, members of Parliament, officials from various places, and senior military officers."

"They are no longer the people we are familiar with. They have been alienated and turned into something more terrifying than shape-shifters!"

"Shapeshifters can take on human form, but they can't."

"The decay of the soul cannot be seen. Everyone should understand this."

Silence, like a cloud of smoke, enveloped the conference room.

Everyone was silent.They each have their own thoughts, and the current situation in Victoria is really difficult to sort out.

"What should we do?"

Cumberland asked, and Hampa turned aside - this answer needs to be given by Vina.

"We... need unity."

……

"We only have three things that are important. Unity! Unity! Still so much unity!"

In the large conference room in Xiaoqiu County, facing the backbone of Tara, several representatives of the Witch Forest, and the comrades from the integration movement he brought with him, Shen Muke stretched out three fingers and said loudly.

"Uh, isn't this the same thing?" Mandela couldn't help but wanted to complain, but was stared back by Abrana.

Ah, we can't make the leader unhappy...

Follow

Then Mandela lowered her head and remained silent.

"I have read some information in the library of Ursus and Caraton, so I know very well the relationship between Tara and Victoria."

Tara and Victoria are not a country at all.

Since a long time ago, the Drake family has been divided into two branches. One branch stayed in the land of Victoria, while the other branch chose to expand its territory, and finally founded the Kingdom of Tara.

Then Aslan came.

"I think all the key people here in Tara should know about this, right?"

Shen Muke looked at everyone and finally said calmly:

"Of course, I know very well how the people of Tara, as victims, suffered discrimination in this history of Drak and Aslan's struggle."

The king's structure and mind are sometimes big and sometimes small. For the people who are willing to surrender, the king will often show a certain degree of kindness, but for those who are unwilling to surrender, even the wisest king will have thunderous wrath.

Such is the case with the Tara people.

They are accustomed to the rule of King Drak, and their own culture has established this. This is something that is difficult to solve by pure force.

Therefore, Tara became a victim and an object of discrimination.

There was no reason, it was just that when King Aslan held the hammer in his hand, Tara, the nail, stepped forward.

So if you don't knock, who are you knocking?

"However, we cannot generally blame Aslan for all problems, let alone Draco."

Shen Muke looked at the backbone of Shenchi who were filled with indignation, sighed and said:

"Aslan, Draco, Victoria, Tara."

"These things we are talking about are, in the final analysis, just contradictions...and contradictions can be alleviated and even resolved."

“And, most importantly, conflicts are also prioritized.”

Shen Muke opened his hands and said with a smile: "That's why I said we need to unite."

"Abrana, tell me, what is the main contradiction we face in Victoria today?"

"The main contradiction?"

Abrana pondered for a while and finally said: "Is it Sakaz?"

"That's right." Shen Muke nodded with satisfaction and said, "We need to understand one problem, that is, the times are different, the enemies are different, and the measures to be taken are also different."

"In the past, when Victoria had no foreign enemies, the Tara people faced discrimination and persecution from Victoria officials. Of course we had to resist. Shenchi used various means to make Xiaoqiu County and the Tara area de facto independent of the Victoria, it’s the right thing to do to keep this land free from Crown Victoria.”

"But now, things are different."

"The Sakaz are coming."

"They are bringing a war of unprecedented intensity. They will break the country into pieces and turn all of Victoria into a springboard for their ambitions, and the people who live in the land of Tara are certainly among their goals."

"Whether they admit it or not, the Tara people are part of Victoria, at least that's what the Sakaz people think, and then we have a challenge ahead of us."

"This challenge is unprecedented, so we need to seek allies, cooperation, and help."

"Victoria, people in this land must unite, just because we all have a common enemy!"

Chapter 26 United Front

"We all have the same enemy, and that's Sakaz."

Hampa flapped his wings a few times and turned to look at everyone present.

"Only Sakaz, only Sakaz who have invaded Victoria are unacceptable."

"Today, we are here, and we all have different identities and different bloodlines."

"Whether it is a commoner or a noble; whether it is a big businessman or a worker; whether it is a scholar or a soldier."

"One thing we should all know is that our position is always the same."

"We want the old life to come back, we want to bring peace back to this land."

“Because no matter how Victoria changes, it’s all about the people of Victoria.”

"Victoria's affairs must be decided by the Victorians, and those Sakaz who want to invade Victoria are our undoubted enemies."

The Duke of Cumberland looked at Hampa. He gradually understood what Hampa meant, so he asked:

"Hampa, so you want all of Victoria to unite?"

"That's right, because we are facing an enemy that was unimaginable in the past, so we must unite everyone who can be united."
