Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Let me ask, are the people of the Eastern Kingdom all losers?Don’t you have any ambition?

People with great ambitions will not be satisfied with being the middlemen between two major countries. They will inevitably seek new changes, such as wiping out a major country and then taking over themselves.

Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards the Eastern Kingdom was always to give both kindness and power, which is the so-called "Thunder, rain, and dew are all the kindness of the emperor." In the past, the Eastern Kingdom could only passively accept it.

However, things are different now. The Eastern Kingdom has been invaded by Ursus, and the balance has been broken. Therefore, Dayan needs to re-evaluate the situation.

The importance of the Eastern Kingdom has been estimated.

To be rational, Dongguo must not lose. At such a critical moment, Dayan must take the lead, so after Si Suitai and Taifu discussed it, they sent two major helpers, Ling and Nian, to Dongguo.

However, Dongguo cannot win too easily.Defeating Ursus was an achievement worthy of showing off. The Emperor and the Tutor were worried that Dongguo would be over-inflated and do some irrational behavior. Although Dayan was never afraid of any challenge, he would fight for the gods. The enemy's country will not care about the small rebellion of the Eastern Kingdom, but it is a waste of people and money.

War kills people, costs money, stops production, and consumes resources. Moreover, even if the entire Eastern Kingdom is annexed, what is the value of the remote areas?This is completely a loss-making business!

Therefore, from the very beginning, Tai Tu ordered Ling Henian to only provide logistical help and make plans, and try not to take direct action as much as possible, making it clear that he intended to consume Dongguo's power.

Ursus was defeated and Donghu was defeated miserably. This was Dayan's plan.

Therefore, when the ministers began to criticize the Taifu, the emperor did not get angry, but waited and watched. However, as the war situation gradually worsened, the emperor also had some concerns.

As long as the play is almost done, don't really lose!

As a pure dragon tribesman, the emperor has no interest in the twelve fragments of Sui. The people of Dayan still have a natural hostility towards gods.

So the emperor doesn't trust Ling, Nian, or any giant beast...but he trusts Taifu.

The Taifu had a good vision and the layout was large enough. This was the reason why the Emperor trusted him. Therefore, when the Taifu proposed that Ling Henian go to the Eastern Kingdom to support him, the Emperor approved it without much consideration.

However, now, the situation does not seem optimistic...

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The Taifu replied: "At this stage, the Eastern Kingdom does not have an advantage. However, this is just a trick to show off the enemy. It is all for the goal of inviting you to the urn and defeating the many with less. I hope your majesty can give you more time." , if something cannot be done, I am willing to bear all responsibilities."

"There is no need for Taifu to ask for orders like this." The emperor smiled and said: "I am just asking casually, there is no need to worry...Does Taifu have other matters?"

"Nothing else...I'll take my leave first."

The emperor waved his hand and said calmly to the courtiers beside him: "You... send the master off."

"There is no need to see you off, Your Majesty, I will leave now..."

The Taifu walked out of the hall, and the side hall returned to calm.

"...Dongguo, isn't my brother married to the princess of Dongguo? We haven't seen each other for a long time. The new year is approaching. Let's write a letter..."

Chapter 66 Madness

Army Group Ursus, Flagship Command.

"Our marching speed is still too slow."

Grand Duke Baikal was sitting on a chair. His mood at the moment was nothing but excitement.

In his opinion, the war situation in the Eastern Kingdom has now tilted towards Ursus. The faster he rushes at this time, the greater the victory Ursus will gain.

However, General Herage sitting aside did not think so.

The Dongguo people retreated too quickly. It was not so much a defeat as a deliberate abandonment... As a battle-hardened general, Herage was not worried about the opponent's tenacious resistance, because the Dongguo people today are different from Casimir that year. .

In Casimir's time, Sunset Canyon was the only way for Ursus to advance, and Silver Spear Pegasus blocked it. Ursus had no choice but to give up the attack and go home with the victory.

Dongguo is completely different. The border of Dongguo is very long and the terrain is very complex. This terrain is actually not conducive to the attacking side.

However, the Dongguo people completely ignored common sense and threw away a lot of opportunities and territory for no reason. Even some fortresses that the Usas side was not sure of winning were automatically abandoned by the Dongguo.

What is Dongguo doing?

This is no longer a duel between the two sides, but has turned into a one-way show by Ursus. How can Herage be reassured by this completely unexpected situation?

"We can't continue to move forward. The vanguard has rushed too fast and has thrown our ships too far. If we can't keep up with the vanguard, we won't be able to command the overall situation. If Dongguo cuts off our connection with the troops at this time , we have entered a dilemma..."

However, Herrag's idea seems to everyone here to be a sign of lack of courage. In the eyes of most Ursus generals, Ursus's attack on the East is like a Tiger fighting a tractor. There is no suspense at all, and this is also true. , the Dongguo side abandoned their armor and fled, and if the Ursus side did not attack, it would be a waste of natural resources.

Therefore, none of the Ursus officers, including Grand Duke Baikal, cared about Herage's thoughts.

Seeing these officers with high eyes and impulsive advances in front of him, Herage had no choice but to sit back in his seat.

"It's a pity that Semyon and Barclay are not here..."

Semyon and Barclay did not go out with the army this time, but were sent to the southern border to defend Casimir.

If those two people were here, not to mention helping Herage plunder the formation, they would be able to make Herage less passive even in the tactical meeting.

"Where is our main force?" Grand Duke Baikal asked.

"Grand Duke, our main force has arrived before the Blood Peak Gorge... Once we capture the Blood Peak, the route will be much smoother..."

Is that so?

So if the people from the East have not given up on their country, they will definitely launch a counterattack at Blood Peak!

Herage stood up and took the long knife in his hand: "I'll return it."

Don't worry, I have to go to the front line. "

He looked around and said, "Is anyone with me?"

In the silence, a huge creature wearing power armor stood up.

hiss--

Rolling steam spurted out, and the antlered Wendigo's eyes were scarlet. The monster stared at Herague, and a deep voice sounded:

"I'll take the shield guard with you, Herrag."

"That would be best."

……

Herage and Bodrokas boarded the armored land vehicle and headed for the central army along the wilderness road.

"Thank you, Bodro Kasti, thank you very much." Herage said with a smile.

"No need to thank me, Herage..." Bodrokas shook his head and said, "We have gone too far, so many people have forgotten to look back... You are right, we shouldn't go too fast, but it's a pity that no one Understandable."

"That's why it's so rare to find someone as sane as you." Herage said.

"It's just a matter of experience...it's nothing..."

……

In the Blood Peak Gorge, the last rays of the setting sun shine here, and the Ursus Army Group officially enters it.

Herage and Bodrokas stationed themselves in the mobile fortress and ordered the troops to be on guard all around.

The main force of Ursus slowly advanced to the Blood Peak.

Herage and Bodrokas stood in front of the observation tower of the fortress. He looked around:

"It feels a little quiet..."

"This is very strange. There should at least be the sound of a feathered beast flapping its wings, right?"

boom!

A loud noise broke the silence, and the commando team at the front ran into the rocks falling from the cliff. They were ambushed!

"No! Hurry up!" Herage drew out his saber. He jumped off the fortress and stood with the soldiers. The red and white military uniforms rustled in the cold wind!

However, it was too late. Tens of thousands of rolling logs and rocks poured down from the high cliff. Although the Ursus Army had advanced weapons, it was unable to do anything against this offensive that relied entirely on physics. The warlocks' Spells were not enough to stop these, and only the shield guards brought by Bozokas could barely contend.

"General Herage!" A beast-like roar rang out. Bodrokas used his heavy halberd to smash the incoming rocks, and led the shield guards to lean against Herage.

Just now, when the rocks and trees fell, Bozhuo Kasti had noticed that their connection with the rear flagship had been cut off. In other words, the main force at this time had almost lost the ability to send messages to the rear. The only thing that can still communicate with the rear is the special communication device that Herage carries with him. It is a special instrument specially prepared by the emperor for general-level officers. It can be immune to general signal interference. At this time, the main force is leaderless, but Don't let anything go wrong with this only hope!

"Bodrokasti!" Herage called to the Wendigo, "Contact Baikal and ask the flagship in the rear to issue a retreat order!"

"We've lost contact! General, it's up to you!"

Herage's heart sank. Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened!

Why run away?What kind of scurrying around?

They are all smoke bombs!It's just a trick of strategic deception by the Dongguo people. The purpose is to lure the main force of Ursus and wipe them out here at once!

Herage dialed the channel of Grand Duke Baikal and established contact with the flagship——

"Grand Duke Baikal! Give the order to all the troops to retreat! This is the enemy's trick!"

"Impossible!" Baikal's voice was hysterical in the channel: "It is impossible for me to retreat! Herage, don't talk to me about ambushes and tricks! The soldiers of Ursus are not afraid of any challenge!"

What kind of ridiculous ideas are these?

Herage felt a chill in his heart. Baikal's reply almost made his attitude clear——

Fight to the death and never retreat until death!

This is gambling with the lives of all soldiers, which is dangerous and unreliable. Moreover, can the current Ursus Army still fight?

Herage looked around. It was not obvious just now, but as the command system gradually became chaotic, the entire Ursus Army looked confused and frightened. They scattered in all directions, completely out of formation, and completely unable to counterattack. hope.

Are these still the elite of Ursus?Is this still the invincible army from the north?

Herage fell into deep self-doubt. He couldn't understand everything at the moment. The commander was belittling himself, and the soldiers lacked fighting spirit. They could only fight with the wind, but against the wind, they could only be passively beaten?

On the cliff, there are Eastern warriors in armor waving battle flags and swords. They have been aggrieved for too long and can finally fight back!

"Usas of [East Kingdom swear word]! Get out of the East Kingdom! Get out of here!"

Listening to the voice above his head, Herage was extremely anxious. He dialed the communicator again: "Grand Duke Baikal! Order the troops to retreat! If we don't retreat, we won't be able to evacuate!"

The shield guards guarding the rear were very confident. The steel city wall they formed successfully withstood the first charge of the Dongguo people and did not allow Dongguo to complete the encirclement. However, this situation could not last long because the number of Dongguo people was greater than that of the shield guards. Much more. If the large forces do not withdraw from the Blood Peak, then Herage and others will have to answer here!

"I said, I will not retreat, never!"

"Alexander Baikal, if you don't retreat, the large army will not be saved!" Herage lost patience. He called Baikal by his name. "The large army cannot be saved. Let me see how you can tell the emperor

Your Majesty, please tell me! "

"Don't worry Herage, the army will be able to protect it..."

How can I rest assured? !

Herage didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he turned his head, he saw from a distance the Ursus flagship in the dust rising up from the deck, revealing its ferocious main gun!

"Baikal! Are you crazy?! What are you going to do!?"

"What are you doing? I want to blast this cliff to pieces and expose the entire Blood Peak! Release my troops!"

"This is impossible! Not to mention that the firepower of the main gun is not enough to crush the blood peak, let's talk about the impact of the artillery fire...the shattered rocks will hurt our own people!"

"Stop, Herage, this is not what you should think about! I want you to stick to your post. Remember, I want victory! Victory!"

Amidst Baikal's roar, the main cannon opened fire, and the cannon fire melting the source stone and flames went straight to the Blood Peak. The thunderous flames that shook the sky and the earth were about to burn everything on the Blood Peak!

finished...

Herage watched the approaching artillery fire in silence. If the artillery fire goes down, the Blood Peak will inevitably shake, and endless rolling stones will fall. Both the East Kingdom and Ursus will suffer heavy losses...

On the cliff, Ling Henian was commanding the team, and they noticed the artillery fire——

"Nian!" Ling turned to his sister and called loudly.

"I understand!" Nian's body was ignited with fire. She raised her shield and muttered silently:

"There is a furnace in the sky, and hardware is produced on the earth..."

call----

The cold wind was biting, and for a moment there seemed to be endless wind and snow whizzing by, and messy black feathers fell down, covering the sky and everyone's eyes.

hiss--

The piercing buzzer sounded, and when all the feathers dispersed, Baikal's artillery fire from far and near had dissipated. If it weren't for the heat wave that had not yet dissipated, everyone would have thought it was just a dream.

"Nian...I'm coming!"

Standing behind Nian, Shen Muke smiled and opened his arms. The next second, the fiery red man threw himself into the young man's arms.

"Are you here? I miss you..."

"Be good, so do I..."

Chapter 67 Change requires more than relying on those in power

Although Shen Muke and Nian had endless things to say at this time, the two of them tacitly turned their attention to the Ursus flagship in the distance and the Ursus legion under the Blood Peak.
