Ark's Journey to the Demon God

In the palace, the old lion king smiled at his baby bump and called out: "Vina, come here quickly, let me see, have you grown taller recently?"

"No, you're going to prick me with your beard again!"

The old lion king was immediately amused by his lovely daughter. He stretched out his big hand, forcibly held Weina in his arms, and rubbed Weina's neck with his beard.

Wei Na was so amused by the old Lion King's love prank that she burst into tears, so she had no choice but to hit the Old Lion King on the chest with her pink fist in protest. However, the protest was ineffective. The Old Lion King took it one step further, picked up Wei Na and spun around in mid-air.

Boom boom boom!

There was a dull knock on the door, and a courtier came in, interrupting this family happiness.

"His Majesty."

"What's wrong? Didn't you see that I was resting? Hehe..."

The princess playfully grabbed the old lion king's beard, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Please forgive me." The courtier lowered his head nervously: "The Duke of Cumberland is here to visit."

Robert?

The old lion king nodded and said to the princess: "Vina, let me go out for a while and come back to play with you soon?"

"No, I don't want you to leave. You haven't played with me for a long time!" Wei Na put her arms around the old lion king's neck, not wanting him to leave.

"Weina, be good, I promise you, I will come back to accompany you as soon as I finish handling the matter!"

"Well...then hurry up."

"well."

……

meeting room.

The old lion king opened the door and Cumberland had been waiting for a long time.

"Robert, Happy New Year." The old lion king smiled and blessed: "But you'd better come to me with something serious, so that I can forgive you for disturbing my company with Wei Na."

The Duke of Cumberland pretended to be frightened. He bowed and said: "I hope you will forgive me, my king. I did not mean it."

"Forget it, put away your crappy acting skills, Cumberland, your upright face is not suitable for acting~" the old lion king joked with a smile.

Duke of Cumberland

He laughed and said, "But someone told me that in extraordinary times, upright people have to disguise themselves as treacherous villains, so that they can effectively protect themselves."

The old lion king narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: "Who told you this?"

"Agaritu." The Duke of Cumberland said honestly: "It was Agaritu's suggestion."

The old lion king nodded, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed.

"You won't offend him?" Cumberland was a little surprised. "I thought you would be disgusted with him because of this."

The old lion king shook his head and said: "When I was very young, I was taught a truth: tolerance is not out of mercy, but out of virtue. A truly rational monarch will give his ministers and allies ample space to Let them use their wits, as they are now.”

The old lion king smiled and said: "You should accept his advice. Although he is very young, the scenery he has seen is something we have never seen...Besides, you are always too noble and upright, which will make you too many enemies." many."

"You are right." Cumberland believed deeply, "I came to you today for this reason."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, look..." The Duke of Cumberland took out a document, handed it to the old Lion King, and explained at the same time:

"As you know, I have gathered a group of subordinates to collect local intelligence."

"Yes, you told me, what is the name of your organization?"

"Grey Wings of Londinium."

Gray Wings, a Victorian native intelligence organization founded by the Duke of Cumberland.

Among them, gray represents the black and white compatible attributes of the intelligence organization, while flying wings symbolize protection, indicating that this organization exists to protect the country.

Recently, Gray Wing and Agaritu have been working together, and this operation has uncovered a lot of black intelligence about the Parliament.

The Duke of Cumberland motioned to the old lion king to open the document. On the first page of the document, the first page contained evidence that the deputy speaker of the Londinium Parliament had accepted bribes.

"This bastard, I knew he was black, but I didn't expect that he is already black to the core!"

The old lion king was furious. He slammed the table and roared: "I will put him in a cage, hang him up, parade him through the streets first, and then behead him!"

"Please calm down, my king." The Duke of Cumberland comforted him: "This is exactly what I want to talk to you about. I hope you can temporarily suppress your anger and let him get away with it for a few more days."

"Why is this again?"

Cumberland lowered his voice and said in the old Lion King's ear: "Last night, the deputy speaker came to my house and gave me a pair of antique vases from the old Gallic court."

The old lion king looked at Cumberland and said, "You accept it?"

"I took it."

"You did the right thing." The old Lion King made a rational judgment: "If you don't accept it, that's the beginning of the problem. He will use all means to attack you, and he will even assassinate you!"

As a king who coexists rationality and bravery, the old lion knows all too well what these powerful officials who are forced into desperation will do!

"That's exactly what I thought... But what really surprised me is that the intelligence collected by my organization is confidential, but how did he learn about it?"

"It seems that he has many eyes and ears, hehe, he uses all his brain here!"

The old lion king snorted coldly, and then said: "So, you hope you can appease him?"

"That's right, my king, I deliberately accepted his gift just to give him a signal, which will make him relax and make him more unscrupulous."

"When he goes crazy, that's when he will perish!"

"Very good, Cumberland, it seems you are getting older and older." The old lion king joked with a smile, "How should I praise you?"

"If you can forgive me for collecting that vase, I will be very satisfied."

"Ha, by the way..." the old lion king said with a smile: "I didn't know that you also have a hobby of collecting antiques?"

"Uh...hobby won't affect my work."

"Don't be nervous Robert, who doesn't have some hobbies?" the old lion king comforted, and at the same time asked his own question:

"I'm curious, where did you recruit the people from? Can you build a huge intelligence network so quickly?"

It is not easy to collect criminal evidence against a deputy speaker. Cumberland is so efficient.

"Uh...it's at the Guards College." Cumberland was a little embarrassed, "The reason is that you also know that intelligence organizations are always not decent, so neither the military nor the nobles are willing to get involved in this field. Instead, the student group It’s relatively positive.”

The Duke of Cumberland's statement is not unreasonable. Engaging in intelligence operations is quite dangerous. However, along with the danger is the low pay, so few people are willing to do this job.

However, the student group is very good. They are willing to carry out such dangerous actions for Victoria, and their enthusiasm is also very high.

The atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers became increasingly serious. The old lion king seized the opportunity and said:

"Robert, I recently feel that the time has come." The old lion king said plausibly: "My new policy can no longer be delayed. I am going to make a statement in this year's New Year's speech, and then push forward its implementation as quickly as possible! "

"Your Majesty, haven't we agreed that you will make a decision after I have completely stabilized the current situation?"

Cumberland's concerns come from the current situation. Different from his blind optimism in the original plot, Cumberland is well aware of the current situation.

The situation in Doria is not optimistic. Not to mention the careerists and other grand dukes hiding in the dark, right now, a small deputy speaker can involve a whole series of evil bastards. The deputy speaker Even so, where is the Speaker?What about the entire parliament?

Cumberland is much more sensible than the old lion king, but the old lion king has no patience.

"Robert, you have to know that time no longer allows me to wait any longer."

Chapter 63 Beginning

"Robert, you have to know that time no longer allows me to wait any longer." The old lion king said sincerely.

"Time is already too tight. Our country is surrounded by powerful enemies. They are eager for us to show our weaknesses, and yet we are still playing games with those insects!"

"I have prepared a speech. I will finish everything before those guys react. Trust me, Robert, we will make Victoria return to the top. No one can stop us!"

"But..." The Duke of Cumberland looked at the old lion king in front of him. He knew that the old king with gray beard and hair had no patience to wait.

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured that no matter what, the Cumberland family will always be loyal to you and to Victoria."

"Of course, Cumberland, of course."

……

Londinium basement.

This was the first meeting in 1072. However, unlike the relaxation imagined, this time, everyone in the basement had very serious expressions.

The old Lion King's speech began and ended on January 1st. This undoubtedly marked the beginning of a new era, but in the eyes of everyone present, this move was undoubtedly risky.

As early as 1071, Shen Muke and others had been making plans as early as possible. The main targets were those ambitious and ambitious people in power. Now they have begun to bear fruit. In the speech on the [-]st, the old Lion King's new policy did not encounter any resistance.

Of course, there was no resistance, because Shen Muke and the Duke of Cumberland joined forces to turn these high-ranking insects upside down. They were busy covering up their bad things and had no energy to set up any obstacles to the implementation of the New Deal.

However, compared with these problems that have been almost solved, Shen Muke and others are more worried about external forces...

Different from the original plot, the original palace incident was that the parliament coerced the people and pushed the king to the guillotine.

But now, the Parliament has too much to take care of itself. They have tried their best to cover up the exposed evidence, but it is a drop in the bucket and to no avail.As their crimes were gradually revealed, the people became more and more dissatisfied with the Parliament. Instead, they responded favorably to the old lion king who issued the New Deal. This was a rare thing since the establishment of the Parliament.

Such a result is naturally what Shen Muke and others hope to see. However, good and evil are interdependent. When internal problems are solved, external ones come again.

Whether it is the black snake that stirs up troubles or the enemies big and small hiding in the dark, they are not easy to deal with.

It is obviously not a good time to issue the New Deal at this time.

Moreover, although the old Lion King has good ideas, his new policy is not without problems.

First, he made it clear that working hours would be shortened, but he did not ask for a specific salary.

Secondly, he also stated that he would improve the living conditions of the infected and establish a community of infected people like Karaton.

However, the establishment of a community of infected people requires occupying existing blocks. What about the indigenous people in this block?

Therefore, although there will be little resistance to the proposal of the New Deal for a while, it is still unclear what will happen after it is implemented, and it is expected that it will continue to be revised.

Therefore, everyone in the Londinium basement did not relax at all, but worked more carefully and strived for perfection.

……

Somewhere outside Londinium.

Inside the command center of the land cruiser under the Duke of Normandy.

Koscich, who had his eyes closed tightly, opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of eerie eyes with vertical pupils.

He opened his scarlet lips and showed a rather scary smile.

The time has been very ripe. The old lion of Victoria announced the implementation of the New Deal on the first day of the New Year as He expected. And with the beginning of a new era, His plan will finally be pushed to its climax by Him!

Thinking of this, Kosich opened his mouth from ear to ear with joy.

Never had such a wonderful plan!

There has never been such a smooth operation before. He is about to destroy an old and powerful country and is about to kill a monarch who is ranked [-]th. However, he does not need to use any of his own soldiers. He only needs to continue to promote the plan. Victoria's The king will surrender his own life!

"Cosiche, what are you laughing at?" Normandy walked into the command room and said, "Has your layout been completed?"

"It's done. Soon, we will achieve absolute victory!"

"You'd better be." Normandy glanced at him. He actually didn't trust Black Snake, but he did need an external force to help him return to Londinium. At this moment, Black Snake came forward. So the two parties hit it off immediately, and began to live in embarrassment...with the same hatred and the same enemy.

"Well, now that everything has begun, you should still remember the conditions I made in advance, right?"

"Of course." Black Snake smiled and nodded: "According to the original plan, I will restrict Ursus and will not let Ursus' expansion touch Victoria. I will give you enough time."

"There are also my conditions." In the dark corner, the Witch King in robe appeared: "I hope you won't forget it."

"Of course, Your Majesty the Witch King

. Black Snake smiled and nodded: "As long as your method is as effective as you said." "

"You can rest assured." The Witch King leaned proudly on the gorgeous chair: "Although it has not yet reached perfection, it is infinitely close... The voice of the world will not let us down."

"Oh, it is such a blessing to be able to hear the music played by His Majesty the Witch King himself."

"Don't compliment me, Normandy, just wait and be your regent... I don't want to stay in this country full of steel for a moment longer..."

Normandy smiled and nodded, but secretly snorted: "I dare to say it, but you are just a crazy tyrant. Apart from those music and that cruel power, what else do you have?"

in the command room.

The three parties looked at their two allies thoughtfully, and all smiled sincerely and modestly.

No matter how many undercurrents are surging behind the scenes, at least for now, everyone is on the same side, so let's keep it like this, finish the drama, and then everyone will go their separate ways.
