Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Some machinery that can be used defensively."

Shen Muke explained.

"Do you still understand this?" Lao Tianma was a little surprised. In his opinion, as a messenger, Agaritu's knowledge seemed too broad.

"I understand a little bit." Shen Muke said perfunctorily with a smile, and then applied:

"Your Excellency Cyril, we don't have enough manpower to manufacture the robots. If necessary, we may need help from our fellow knights."

"That's no problem." Cyril waved his hand. As long as the fortress can be defended, everything else is not a problem.

"What kind of machine did you ask them to build?"

"Has Sir Cyril ever heard of the Semen Knife Cart?"

……

Great knight collar.

Under a streetlight somewhere in the city.

"Why do we have to join here?"

complained the middle-aged Kuranta man in a suit.

"Secret outdoors helps keep secrets. After all, you don't want your cooperation with us to be discovered, right?"

The connector was wrapped in a dark robe, so that the middle-aged man could not see the racial characteristics of the other person, and could only hear the hoarse voice.

"What's your name?" Out of caution, the middle-aged man asked tentatively.

"It doesn't matter the real name. You just need to remember that the person you are working with is a person named Black Snake."

blacksnake?

Instead of using a name, do you call yourself a codename?

The Kuranta man nodded, and then said:

"Last night, people from the Supervisory Committee came. As you expected, they came to negotiate terms with the National Assembly for frontline reinforcements. According to what we had negotiated at the beginning, they did not immediately agree to their request, but prevaricate. In the past, I guess the same was true for the Chamber of Commerce...Mr. Duke asked me to tell you, don’t forget our conditions.”

"Of course." The man in black robe nodded with satisfaction and said, "As promised - the longer the Jianzhenghui's request is delayed, the richer our reward will be."

"That's good." The middle-aged man said: "One more thing, Mr. Duke said that if the Ursus people can [erase] all the Silver Spear Pegasus of the Supervisory Committee, the National Council is willing to add extra weight."

"Very reasonable terms, we accept and thank Mr. Duke for his generosity."

The man in black robe smiled and nodded, and the two parties shook hands and confirmed the new cooperation content...

The middle-aged man in the moonlight left in a hurry, and under the streetlight, the man in black robe melted into the shadows again.Skirt⑥⑨④⑨③⑥①④⑤

"Casimir, the country of knights...oh, knights..."

Chapter 10 Collision

A week after Silver Spear Pegasus retreated to Sunset Canyon, Ursus also completed the containment of the exit of the canyon.

The Ursus Engineer Corps will build temporary fortresses in front of the mouth of the canyon. These forts are the command nodes of the Ursus officers. Herrag did not despise the enemy because of the small number of Silver Spear Pegasus. He has made long-term plans. Preparation for combat.

In the Ursus headquarters fortress, Herage unfolded the map——

Sunset Canyon is a gap in a long and narrow mountain range in the Casimir Wasteland. If Ursus wants to go south, he must pass through here. Of course, there is another way to go, and that is the various knights of Casimir. The road we retreated back to Zvonek was a field covered with withered yellow weeds.

swamp.

As long as there are Ursans with brains, they will not choose to march in the swamp, because unlike the Casimir Knights who rely on camel beasts and legs to march, the Ursas march rely on land vehicles and land-based battleships. The configuration would put them in dire straits in large swamps.

Therefore, if you still want to expand your victory, you must attack the Sunset Canyon Fortress in front of you head-on.

Herage's eyes moved to a folded briefing, which was sent by Grand Duke Baikal and brought new instructions from the emperor.

Although Grand Duke Baikal mixed a lot of yin and yang in it, he still conscientiously explained the emperor's order clearly——

Continue to expand the results while saving resources and minimizing battle losses. If the enemy's resistance exceeds expectations, withdraw troops immediately.

call--

Herage breathed out, but the pressure on him did not decrease. Although the emperor lowered his expectations, who said that this was not a test for him?

"Semyon, Barclay."

Herage called out, and the two officers stood up to indicate their readiness.

"Start attacking."

……

Shen Muke stood on the top of the city, his heart in confusion.

Although he was fully mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the powerful strength of the Ursus army.

Engineers from dozens of regiments built a total of thirteen temporary command forts in just three or four days, and at the same time dug a large number of trenches to connect the forts with each other.

War sorcerers placed countless spells on the main guns of the land carriers, and the elite warriors were waiting in formation. Above them were hundreds of drones equipped with spell units.

After the large force, there is an artillery unit carrying Terran version of mortars. It is conceivable that once a war begins, they will provide fire support for the vanguard.

In Shen Muke's view, Ursus' tactics are quite backward. If they were to face China in real life, they would probably be beaten by China.

But on the continent of Terra, Ursus's tactical model is simply too advanced. You must know that the tactical level of the knights here is probably not as good as that of the Qin Dynasty. Many people's understanding of war is still limited to "formation." "Charge, hand-to-hand" stage.

"But fortunately, I am not unprepared."

Shen Muke looked aside. With Hanpa's technology and the efforts of the blacksmith group, the first batch of city defense machinery was ready for use, including catapults, door jammers and other machinery. They were ready for use at any time, even if they were worn out. Don't worry, the masters of the blacksmith group are already preparing the next batch...

"You have seen the strength of the Ursus people. Do you regret joining this war now?"

Cyril came to Shen Muke and said slowly.

Shen Muke turned around and saw Lao Tianma staring at Ursus' military formation with a complicated light in his eyes.

The utter hatred for the enemy; the disgust for war; and the desire for battle...Old Pegasus's soul was trembling.

"No, Sir Cyril." Shen Muke shook his head and said: "I have a basic understanding of this land. Suffering and fear always surround Terra. Even if I don't participate in this [war that does not belong to me], There will also be [my war] in the future. So, I have no regrets or fear."

"But you're just one person, aren't you?" Cyril shook his head and said, "You can't change much. There are too many tragedies in this land, and you can't do much by relying on yourself."

……

Shen Muke didn't answer. He thought of his thoughts when he traveled through time -

He loves to travel and knows that Terra is not a good place, so he wants to change the world on his own. At least, he wants to make this world less tragic; at least, he wants to make those people in his memory move to a better path.

But as Cyril said, a person's power is too small. Even if he has the [template], even if he will ascend to the throne of God one day, can he really solve the problems of this land by himself? ?

Thinking of this, Shen Muke was suddenly enlightened——

Cyril is right!He should not go it alone, but should rely on the strength of others. Perhaps, he should set up an organization like Rhodes Island and the Tower of Babel in the original plot!

Seeing Agaritu in front of him turning his grateful eyes towards him, Cyril was surprised for a while and thought, what is this child thinking about?

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The sound of screaming horns broke the silence, and the Ursus army began to move!

"Your Excellency Cyril! Let the knights load all the trebuchets with [cannonballs]."

The so-called [cannonball] is an activated source rock block. This is a damaging move that Shen Muke thought of.

In the original plot, many people infected with ore disease were infected due to contact with activated source rocks. So if the activated source rocks were thrown into the battlefield as stones, the effect would be better than real cannonballs!

Ursus is discriminating against infected people, right? Then let’s taste the power of the Origin Stone!

Outside the fortress, the horn sounded, and the ancient spells of the war magicians followed. Spell missiles rained down on the walls of the fortress, causing ripples.

Thanks to the previous repairs by the Jianzheng Council, many defensive spell units were installed on the walls of the fortress, so the magicians' spells did not work.

boom---

The main gun of the Ursus land speeder opened fire, and a shell hit the city wall heavily, causing Shen Muke who was standing upstairs to shake.

After the main cannon opened fire, Ursus's assaulters and elite troops of Hundred Battles rushed towards the fortress gate carrying battering rams.

"Throw the source rock!" Seeing the opponent's vanguard rushing into the stone-throwing range, Shen Muke raised the military flag and shouted loudly.

Behind the city wall, every two of the eighty knights controlled a trebuchet. When they heard the shouts, the knights drew their swords and cut the ropes.

Activated source rock blocks fell like raindrops, and these "little monsters" shining with an unknown light scattered and split while flying in the air, making the coverage area larger again.

The Ursus leader could not avoid the large-scale AOE, so they could only use their protective gear to block it, and then they were wrapped in fear and panic.

"It's the origin stone!"

"The stones they threw were mixed with Originium!"

Although the commandos and the elites of Hundred Battles are experienced in combat, the current situation is something they did not expect.

In the eyes of Ursus soldiers, Source Stone is a resource, but on this battlefield, the Casimir Knights obviously broke this convention.

"Bastard!" In the command fortress, Barclay hammered the table with his hand: "Are the Casimir knights crazy? Use source stones as weapons? When did they become so despicable?!"

"Calm down, Barclay, we were not prepared."

Herage comforted him, saying that he was also a little surprised. He had read Cyril Linguang's information beforehand, and he was a knight in the true sense from any angle, upright, brave and bold.

But the opponent's current tactics are nothing like being aboveboard.

Herage came to the conclusion that there was a ruthless and unscrupulous tactician in the opponent's camp!And there is a high probability that it is the flag-bearer who has no information.

"Casimir is so lucky to have both a powerful and brave knight like Cyril Linguang and a shrewd and capable tactician like that Elafia young man."

Herage murmured to himself, and then he decisively ordered:

"Barclay, pull back our vanguard, our tactics are going to change. Semyon, continue the artillery cover."

"Understood!"*2

……

The smoke gradually dissipated, and Ursus' offensive was disintegrated.

The knights behind the city wall climbed to the top of the city, and then witnessed a shocking scene——

Corpses, a large number of corpses, mixed with gunpowder smoke and source stones, numbering at least a thousand. Most of these soldiers were directly hit by blocks of source stones. The source stones penetrated their skin, making them infected almost instantly. When suffering from acute Originium disease, large swaths of Originium particles punctured the skin, causing these warriors to rapidly decline, and then a vicious cycle began.

The soldier who fell first erupted into a large amount of active Originium dust. After being refined by the human body, the dust became purer, which in turn infected more people, and the cycle started again.

When Ursus' vanguard troops retreated, the battlefield was in a mess.

The knights stared dumbly at the living hell in front of them without saying a word.

"Agaritu." Cyril said, his voice a little hoarse.

"I'm here, Sir Cyril." Shen Muke looked at the other party solemnly.

"thanks…"

"It's okay. Let's get ready. Ursus' next wave of offensive may be coming soon."

Shen Muke shook his head and indicated that Cyril did not need to thank him. He walked down the city wall. He was a little tired.

"Your Excellency Cyril...we..." Gawain spoke hesitantly on the city wall, but he hadn't thought of what to say yet.

"Remember everything on the battlefield today, comrades. Remember all this. This is what Agaritu did for us. Do you understand?" Cyril reminded him seriously.

"Understood!" *N.

……

Shen Muke leaned back to the stove again. His mind was very confused. He had imagined the danger of using the Source Stone to defend the city, and knew that many people would die. But now, he saw hundreds of Ursus. The soldier fell under the city wall, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

He turned over and wanted to fall asleep, but the devil's soul kept him calm and faced everything calmly.

"Tsk, war is really not a good thing..."

Chapter 11 Dream Journey

Chaos, roaring, whimpering, wailing.

Shen Muke seemed to be trapped in a vortex called a nightmare, with countless broken souls flying around him.

They rushed towards Shen Muke one by one, cursing in complicated words that they could not understand; they hated, hated the person who ruthlessly took away their lives. They stretched out their broken spiritual bodies, as if they wanted to drag Shen Muke into the bottomless abyss. .

Then, the wronged souls touched Shen Muke's soul——

"[Devil God's Soul] is not just a title, but more of a proof of personality."

In the chaos, countless broken remnant souls surged toward Shen Muke like a tide, collided with the [Demon God's Soul], and were then absorbed like mayflies caught by a whale shark, thereby strengthening Shen Muke's spiritual body.
