Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"I haven't seen such a scene for a long time." In the corner, Outcast bumped the sharp next to him with his elbow and said, "Why are you still keeping a straight face?"

"Although it is a banquet, we are still on a mission." Sharp pushed up his sunglasses and said: "Many assassination operations will be carried out during the banquet. Don't tell me you don't know, outcast."

"You're right, sharp, but..."

outcast smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing to the figure accompanying Ravshini:

"With Agaritu here, we can relax a little bit."

"...You are right too."

Is there any safer place in the world than around Agaritu?

Sharp couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only reach out his hand in compromise and take the bottle from Outcast's hand.

"Badland Tequila, bought from a herdsman. I know you like to drink this."

"Actually, you misunderstood, outcast." Sharp seemed a little helpless. He shook the bottle in his hand and said, "I drink it because it is the only one. If there is something better, I will not refuse it... Also, I don’t drink while working.”

"...It's up to you." Outcast shrugged. She picked up a biscuit, put it in her mouth and took a bite——

Crack!

"That little girl Ravshini is very good at her craftsmanship." Outcast commented in surprise.

"Where's Yelena? Why didn't I see her?" Sharp looked around.

"I'm with Huang. That little girl seems to be very popular with Huang."

When he was on the Rhode Island main ship, Huang had an inexplicable affection for Amiya. It was not just support for Amiya's leadership, but a sincere friendship between girls.

"Huang, this guy seems to have a unique kindness towards all Carters..."

Sharp looked at the corner of the banquet hall. Huang and Yelena were sitting together. Big Maomao was holding a wine glass in his hand and bumped into Yelena frequently.

It has to be said that as an Ursusian, Frost Star is not very qualified at this point.

Maybe it's because of her poor physical health, or maybe she doesn't have the habit of drinking, but Yelena's drinking capacity is very poor.

It's basically better than a cup of pour.

"Huang...Hiccup...Sister, I really...can't drink..."

"Can't drink? But didn't we just start drinking?"

It was difficult for Big Cat to understand that an Ursusian could faint from drinking. He just thought that Froststar was trying to shirk it, so he got even more serious——

"Huang, let Yelena go."

Outcast couldn't stand it anymore, so she happily came over and rescued Yelena:

"Not everyone is a drunkard like you and Ace."

"Ah, Ms. Outcast...why am I a drunkard?"

"Yes, yes, you're not, okay?"

Outcast knew that arguing with a drunk would only raise her blood pressure, so she chose to let nature take its course.

"Really..." Huang muttered, picked up the wine bottle and took another sip.

"It seems that I need to clean up the mess tonight, but fortunately, Sharp will also help...it's not too bad."

……

The next afternoon, after everyone sobered up.

"I reflect... I shouldn't drink so much... and I shouldn't throw the mission aside..."

Walking in the corridor, Huang lowered his head and reviewed the two seniors.

"You must remember this mistake, Huang. As an elite operator, you should have been more rational. Remember to write a review and return it to Ms. Kelsey."

"Okay, it won't be the same next time." Outcast came out to smooth things over at the right time and said: "Huang has been tired for many days, so it's okay to relax once in a while... What's more, there were two of us and Agarito here last night, so Huang was being reasonable. He did what was reasonable under the circumstances.”

Compared to Sharp's harsh attitude, Outcast's attitude is much more relaxed: "Not everyone can be qualified for all their jobs as soon as they come up. Sharp, you need to encourage young people."

“Having said that, work is work.”

"Yes, yes." Outcast patted Sharp on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So our Mr. Workaholic, are you ready to participate in our first combat meeting since arriving in Xiaoqiu County?"

"Meetings...I never shy away from meetings, but I care more about whether the content of the meeting is useful enough."

Sharp shook his head and said: "I hope that the Victoria United Front gathered by Agaritu will be a complete enough organization."

If the organization is chaotic, then Sharp, as a bodyguard, will have to consider free reign.

"Work is work."

"Be dedicated, outcast."

Chapter 44 It’s hard to lead a team

It turns out that Sharp's concerns were justified.

Victoria's unification led by Shen Muke

The front organization is not very strict. Everyone comes from all over the world, and there are even many members of the Sakaz expeditionary force here.

Although Shen Muke always emphasized that everyone had only one goal, which was to expel the Sakaz invaders, but when they really sat together, everyone's contradictions would emerge again.

Like now-

"Of course we know that infected people are not suitable for running around the battlefield for a long time, but now we are short of manpower, so we still need the help of everyone in the Witch Forest."

The speaker was a key member of Shenchi, and the target of his statement was the witch Lin headed by Arianna.

Before this, Ms. Arianna had emphasized to Shenchi many times that Witch Lin was a private organization of infected persons. Although the members were reasonably strong, they had never received formal military training. Therefore, letting them go to the battlefield would It's like hitting an egg against a stone.

This statement is recognized by the backbone of Shenchi, but it is not enough to convince them.

"Ms. Arianna, we all understand your concern for your companions, but right now, we are too short of manpower."

"We need someone capable enough to join the Legion, whether she is infected or not."

The backbone of Shenchi are very reasonable. They do not discriminate against infected people, or in other words, they think infected people are the same as ordinary people.

"The Witch Forest needs Shenchi and Xiaoqiu County. Similarly, we also need the Witch Forest. Isn't this mutual?"

The backbone of Shenchi talked freely.

"I can't stand listening anymore..."

In the corner of the conference room, Sharp turned his head and whispered to Outcast: "This cadre of Shenchi has probably never even served in the military."

No one who has ever served in the military would say such a stupid thing and let a group of infected people who have never been soldiers go to the battlefield. It's hard for him to think of it.

Doesn't he know that there is an essential difference between ordinary people and soldiers?

An ordinary person, even if he is very good at fighting, may not be as good as a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield.

Sharp doesn't know how the backbone of Shenchi is selected, but looking at it this way, it is obvious that there is a big problem.

“The ideas of the backbone members of Shenchi are very reasonable!”

The stalemate was suddenly broken. Shen Muke smiled and clapped his hands, signaling the two parties to calm down.

"Mr. Hack, please sit down and be patient. I can understand Shenchi's appeal." Shen Muke said to the backbone of Shenchi with a smile.

The young man known as Huck scratched his head in embarrassment and sat down in silence.

"Shen Chi's appeal is reasonable." Shen Muke looked at Ms. Arianna and said: "Witch Lin was rescued by Shen Chi at the most difficult time, so Witch Lin has the obligation to cooperate with Shen Chi's actions."

"Mr. Agaritu, we..."

Shen Muke smiled and stretched out his hand, interrupting Arianna's defense, and then said to the Shenchi officials on the side:

"However, as a former soldier, I also know that the difference between soldiers and ordinary people cannot be made up by relying solely on magic and knowledge."

"Letting a group of infected people go to the battlefield and face off against the most elite and powerful Sarkaz Royal Court Army is undoubtedly persecution!"

Everyone in Shenchi lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"In fact, the position of the Witch Forest should not be on the frontal battlefield, but behind the battle line, behind the enemy's battle line."

Shen Muke asked calmly: "Ms. Arianna, I hope that the Witch Lin can send some members to sneak back to Londinium to search for information for us."

During this period, the prototype of the resistance army had been established within Londinium, so how to connect the inside and outside of Londinium became the most important thing.

“We need a window that delivers messages to us all the time.”

It's not enough to just rely on Vasak's predictions. After all, most predictions appear irregularly, and their success or failure depends entirely on fate.

"Ms. Arianna, are you willing to lead some companions to sneak back to Londinium? Of course, I will also send a team of people to assist you."

"Of course, Mr. Agaritu." Arianna nodded. She approved of this plan, although it was no less dangerous than going directly to the battlefield.

"Well... I will ask Hedley, Ines and W to take the members of the expeditionary force with you. Most of them are Sakaz. This identity can provide you with cover."

Now in the city of Londinium, only the Sakaz people can move freely.

"After you arrive, contact the members of the resistance as soon as possible... Their base camp is in the sewer. Everyone in the Witch Forest should be familiar with it."

……

Londinium, outside the lower town.

Ta…Ta…Ta…

Leather boots stepped on the muddy ground, and the girl disguised with a mask turned into the alley.

"Hey! Baird, take off your mask next time you come."

In the alley, former Tower Knight Isabel Dagda Montague, who had been waiting for a long time, reminded her:

"If you don't disguise yourself, those Sakaz won't be able to recognize you. If you hide your face, it will only arouse suspicion."

"I know, I know." Baird looked back impatiently, and when he was sure there was no one behind him, he said:

"I contacted Royal Dale Arsenal and got their contact information."

"Well done, Baird. I heard that a resistance organization was also established there?"

"Yes."

Baird took out a small card with a special symbol engraved on it.

An iron chain, connected end to end, forms a ring.

There are two lines of small words below: "With their home city, people strong" (With their home city, people will be stronger).

"They call themselves the Londinium Self-Rescue Army, and most of them are ordinary citizens and factory workers. There are many of them, but very few of them have experienced military training. They cannot be regarded as an army at all..."

Baird sighed. Judging from her contact with the members of the Self-Rescue Army, the combat effectiveness of ordinary people was not even as good as the "Gray Wings" on her side, and even worse than the Tower Knights and Stormtroopers.

"They lack everything except weapons."

The factory can provide weapons, but it cannot provide medicine and food, and it cannot provide effective training. Therefore, although the self-rescue army has been established, they have not really taken action under the order of the commander.

"Commander? Who is their commander?" Dagda asked.

"It seems to be called...Clovisia?" Baird thought for a long time and replied.

"Clovisia...what a strange name. I seem to have heard of it, but I don't think I have."

As a tower knight, Dagda has a good memory, but she just can't remember anything about Clovisia at this time.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Baird, let's go back as soon as possible. Feist seems to have made a new discovery!"

"okay!"

Chapter 45 Seven Hills

Syracuse, Southern Wilderness.

The black-robed and golden-faced Sakaz holds a long sword, and his boots step on the soft soil again and again. The green weeds fall with his steps, and every time the scabbard wrapped with thorns touches the ground. , the flames of the creatures it comes into contact with will be extinguished.

"call--"

The leader of the Pardoner exhaled a breath, and in the wilderness, there were eyes from the unknown looking at him.

"Demon...Sarkaz..."

The call of the Lord of the Wilderness came from the wind, coming closer and closer.

"Coming?" The leader of the Pardoner tilted his head and took off the golden skull mask attached to his face, revealing his young and handsome face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the gaze from the wilderness.

"Unclean one, why are you here?"
