Ark's Journey to the Demon God

The golden flash was intertwined with dark blue lightning. The Elafia boy who was rescued during the march dodged left and right to avoid Cyril's lance. The momentum of the two separated and intertwined, making it difficult to separate.

Sensing that the knights around him were gradually gathering, Shen Muke shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Cyril! Stop fantasizing about a final line of defense! The only way to defeat Ursus is to take the initiative! Use offense instead of defense!"

"Arrogant! How many fights have you experienced!? You dare to talk nonsense!?"

The lance in Cyril's hand was raised, then dropped heavily. The light condensed on it was overwhelming, like thousands of golden needles piercing his eyes.

Facing the lance, Shen Muke did not retreat at all. His hands condensed blue thunder, and he got into a fighting stance and got close to Cyril, using distance to make up for the gap of being unarmed.

Cyril is a powerful knight who has experienced battles for a long time, and Shen Muke has also been tested in the ranks. For a while, it was difficult for the two to tell the winner.

"Your Excellency Cyril! Don't be impulsive!"

"stop it now!"

Several knights forced their way into the battle circle between the two, despite the pressure, and used their bodies to separate the two.

"Sir Cyril, what are you doing!"

"Ask that boy!" Cyril grunted and slammed his lance into the ground.

Feeling that the knights around him turned their attention to him, Shen Muke began his explanation:

"Everyone, we all know that the front line collapsed too quickly, and even the Silver Spear Pegasus could not shake the battle situation, so that the various knights had to retreat to Zvonike. However, Zvonike is not a line of defense that can be relied on. ah!"

Shen Muke repeated the conversation between himself and Cyril, and finally added:

"So, if you want to keep Casimir, you have to take a risk, go deep into the enemy position alone, rescue the trapped Silver Spear Pegasus remnants, and then insist on holding the position and delaying time. As long as we drag out this battle By winter, everything turned around.”

"That's easy to say." Cyril retorted: "It's unknown how many of the Silver Spear Pegasus troops are left deep into the enemy's formation, and it's even more unknown whether the remaining troops can hold out until winter. Even if everything goes well, who can do this? !”

I’ve been waiting for your words!

"I am not talented, but I am willing to follow Sir Cyril and win this battle!"

Shen Muke stood at attention and answered loudly.

huh~~

The cold autumn wind blew up the young man's words and blew through the hearts of every knight present.

……

"Your Excellency Cyril! I am also willing to follow you and give it a try together!"

"Your Excellency Cyril! What this guy said makes sense, we can't just sit back and wait for death! We should take the initiative!"

"Your Excellency Cyril! We are not going to Zvonek!"

Cyril looked at the subordinates asking for orders in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment, as if he remembered the afternoon when he first joined the Knights, and seemed to have returned to the morning when he swore an oath under the banner of Casimir's army.

"Very good, I recognize your courage. If I still don't agree, it will make me look cowardly, right?"

Cyril said with a smile, he raised his lance and shouted:

"Silver Spear Pegasus obeys the order! Fight back the enemy soldiers! Save our comrades!"

Fight back at the enemy soldiers!Save your comrades!

In the wilderness, the knights have found their courage again. They will fight a doomed battle like Don Quixote challenging the windmill.

……

"I see. The so-called use of [the power of the devil] turns out to be a battle that consumes strength!"

Feeling the power injected into his body gradually returning, Shen Muke moved his wrist. He had already seen that in his mind, the light bar representing the number of "Origin Stones" had changed, and the numbers on it had also changed from The original 0 has become 113.

After a few battles with Cyril Linguang, I spent about 100% of [Spirituality] and obtained more than [-] "Source Stones". It seems that Source Stones are quite easy to save.

"But thanks to this [template] being humane enough and fully integrating power, I can control thunder and lightning like an arm!"

Thinking about the fight he had just had with Cyril, Shen Muke couldn't help but feel scared.

Cyril lived up to his name of coming to light. He didn't hide anything in the fight. He started with a burst of fast attacks. If it weren't for 60% of Demon God Furfa's single-body power speed, which was already close to Ursus' inner guard, Shen Muke would most likely have caught every move. Can't stop!

"What you just said was very powerful and convincing. Even I felt a little dazed."

Just when Shen Muke was sighing, Cyril approached Shen Muke and said.

"It's just a little trick. Even without me, you can gather the remaining troops and fight back. I just said those words for you." Shen Muke said modestly.

That's right, from the beginning when Shen Muke entered the military tent to the end when he called on the knights to fight back against Ursus, he was acting out a scene with Cyril.

as a rigorous

As a "doctor" who has watched almost all episodes of Ark, Shen Muke knows very well what kind of person Cyril is.

Many people may not understand the process of the Tenth Ursus-Casimir War. They only know that Cyril came to lead the Silver Spear Pegasus to save Casimir, but in fact this matter is far from that simple.

In the original plot, Casimir was almost completely defeated in the early stages of the war, and the various knights retreated to Zvonek.

But Cyril gave up his plan to retreat, and instead chose to lead 6 knights who were willing to follow him to fight back against Ursus, and rescued another 34 knights in the midst of thousands of troops. After that, 41 knights retreated to the canyon, and fought with the people in the canyon. The blacksmiths cooperated with the defense until the war dragged into winter.

In the original plot, Ursus general Herage once said that Cyril led the troops to hold on, but Ursus lost far more than expected troops, so that when Casimir's reinforcements arrived, Ursus withdrew directly.

Shen Muke knew the direction of the plot. He understood that Cyril would fight back even if he didn't have him. However, he still performed a scene with Cyril without any rehearsal, just to allow Cyril to act as quickly as possible. The decision was made because there were already deserters in the ranks who had been expelled for cowardice.

If it were not for Shen Muke, there is a high probability that Cyril would not be able to make up his mind as soon as possible. If he delays it again and again, I am afraid that it will really become "seven people breaking into the enemy camp" in the end.

Looking around, because Cyril made the decision earlier than in the original plot, there are now 45 knights ready to fight back together!Adding Shen Muke and the 34 knights expected to be rescued, this is double the original strength!

"You said it very lightly, but only I know. Without your scene, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind so quickly."

Cyril tightened the belt of his armor and said slowly:

"Boy, I don't know your name yet."

Shen Muke was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"Agaritu, my name is Agaritu, Your Excellency Cyril."

Agaritu is the name of "doctor Shen Muke".

"Boy, I remember that you are the natural disaster messenger of the Sami people, right? Why did you come to the muddy waters of Uka? Don't say anything about repaying your life-saving grace. I still understand that with your skills, plus the natural disaster messenger If you have the ability to survive a natural disaster, it's nothing. Our saving you is not a big favor, we can't buy your life..."

Cyril's rigorous attitude prompted him to ask this question. He wanted to use this question to test Shen Muke and judge whether he was really trustworthy.

reason?

Cyril's question was unexpected by Shen Muke.

Yes, why do you want to wade into this troubled water?

Cyril didn't know his identity, but Shen Muke knew clearly that he was an outsider and a time traveler. He was not Elafia, not a Sami, not even a Terran!

He had no need to help Casimir win the war. Does what happened to Casimir and Ursus have anything to do with him?

He now holds the [72 Pillars] template, and sooner or later he will be able to gather all the demon gods. He can find a quiet place, slowly spend this "development period", and when he comes out with his "magic success", he can raise his arms and shout, How many people will fall at his feet because of his great power?

He can definitely accomplish what no one before him has accomplished——

Like that khan, he led an army on an expedition to the lands of Foehn;

Like Iberia in the golden age, lead your fleet across the sea;

Defeat the gods like the Emperor of Great Yan back then!

As long as he can survive, in time, reunifying Terra will not be a dream. Why must he participate in a war that does not belong to him when he is weak?

[I am a Sami, my hometown has been harmed by Ursas, and I want revenge for this]

This is a correct answer. Shen Muke knows it. When he tells this answer, Cyril will not doubt it at all.

But what do you think?

"My hometown has also been bullied by outsiders, so I hate all despicable people who invade other people's homes for the sake of desire. Therefore, I am willing to win this battle for Casimir, who has also been invaded."

"Okay." Cyril nodded, "Then let us advance and retreat together!"

He took the prepared weapon from the side and handed it to Shen Muke.

They were a captured Ursus saber and a Casimir standard with a sharp spearhead at the front.

"You be my flag bearer and follow me. Together we will rescue our comrades and win this battle together!"

Chapter 5 Chivalry

Flag bearer.

Shen Muke never expected that he would travel with Miss Qinliu after traveling through time. He was so happy and congratulated.

Putting the military flag aside, Shen Muke began to organize supplies with several other knights. This trip was a narrow escape. God knows what they will encounter. According to the original plot, they will most likely have to hold on for about three months, so everything they have Materials must be carefully budgeted to avoid running out of food.

Then he discovered a big speechless incident——

As the most powerful and elite Silver Spear Pegasus Knights of Casimir, they did not prepare any long-range weapons for such an important war!

That's right, lack of preparation is not the reason why it was lost or exhausted on the road. Shen Muke asked five or six knights in a row, and the answer he got was "no long-range weapons prepared."

"Without long-range weapons, how do you usually fight?"

"Get into formation, set up your shield, and charge."

"Then what if the charge fails and the opponent cannot be defeated?!"

"Then change the formation."

"Why not consider using long-range weapons? Such as crossbows or muskets?"

"That's a gadget only used by cowards in the Unarmed Alliance. Really brave knights only fight hand-to-hand!"

Shen Muke said, why am I so speechless on such a sunny day?

Although he had already guessed that most of Casimir's knights were full of passion, but even to this extent he couldn't help but sigh——

No wonder Casimir's knight spirit is lonely, because those who stick to the spirit are exhausted.

"Your Excellency Cyril, is this how you usually fight?"

Shen Muke found Cyril, repeated the knights' answers, and asked.

Cyril was a little surprised, but still nodded and said:

"Although those guys said it very simply, the main idea is this."

"Don't you think this tactic is a bit... crude?"

In fact, what Shen Muke was thinking was that this couldn't be called a tactic at all, at least not a modern tactic.

"How is that possible? You must know that in order to enhance their combat effectiveness, warrior knights throughout the ages have developed no less than fifty powerful battle formations to deal with various situations."

The corners of Shen Muke's mouth twitched violently, and then he asked tentatively: "So, what is the effect?"

Cyril sighed and said slowly: "Perhaps it is because the times have changed so fast that many formations in the past are no longer applicable, and many new tactics have not had time to be put into use..."

No, this has nothing to do with the rapid changes of the times, or in other words, why do we have to cling to the battle formation?

Although one cannot be too harsh on a country like Casimir, Shen Muke felt that he still underestimated the extent of Casimir's crotch.

Here I have to mention the structure of Casimir's country. This is a rather strange system. First of all, on the surface, Casimir has two major forces, namely the Supervisory Committee and the Federation of Commerce.

The Supervisory Committee represents the interests of the knights. Their leader is called the Grand Knight Commander. He has military force, controls Casimir's military, and is mainly responsible for border defense.

The Merchant Federation represents the economy of Casimir. They are so rich that they used money to buy the Casimir Unarmed Alliance as a force to counter the knights, and are mainly responsible for moving the city.

But here’s the problem. Two forces with completely different functions are in the same country, but they are not a cooperative relationship, but a life-and-death competition. The history of their competition can even be traced back to how many years ago the Wuzhou Alliance was established. period of time.

In short, when the two competed, Casimir encountered a very peculiar situation:

As war knights and supervisors who are not engaged in production, they did not receive any modern industrial support when defending Casimir. Their technical and tactical levels were extremely backward, and their equipment was far from advanced. The reason why Casimir has not been captured yet Destroying a country depends entirely on fighting power to the death.

But as a business federation that controls a large amount of advanced technology and a large amount of money, they don't care about national defense or the military. They have the best advanced technology in the world, but none of it has been passed on to the knights of the expedition, and they even held large-scale events The knight's competition consumes the spirit of chivalry and tramples on the foundation of Casimir's country.

In this regard, Shen Muke said that both sides were kicked on the bean buns - neither of them were good cakes!

As knights who do not engage in production, they are inherently backward. Although the spirit of chivalry is commendable, how many people still remember this spirit today?

The Silver Spear Pegasus is Casimir's backbone, and the chivalry here is very intact. What about the other knights?

Without the spirit of chivalry, wouldn’t the knights be the same as mercenaries?

As a business federation, Shen Muke had to admit that although their model was equally rotten and stinking, it was still far more advanced than the "Knight Master". However, they also had a serious problem, that is, they had forgotten where Casimir's foundation was -

Casimir is a country of knights. Whether you admit it or not, the spirit of chivalry is the foundation of Casimir. The knights who first established Casimir upheld the great spirit of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and being fearless. This is the biggest pillar of Casimir’s enduring vicissitudes.

But now, in the hands of the Business Federation, chivalry has become a prop for appreciation and fun. It can be seen from the original plot that businessmen only care about profits, but do not care about the so-called spirit. This is not good.

It is foreseeable that the Supervisory Committee will gradually withdraw from the stage with the development of the times in the future, but can the business federation that has given up its spirit really complete this play called Casimir alone?
