this is my ark journey

"And you top figures in human society, are you going to kneel down and wait for death, or are you leading your people to make some seemingly futile resistance with me?"

Chapter 440 The Desire to Survive is the Fundamental

The autumn wind blew through the flowers, and a few yellowing dead leaves drifted away. Ren's tone was not bewitching, he was just stating a cruel reality, and the ending had already been determined.

Superficial teenagers like to fool around with words, dance with hands and feet, and call on everyone to follow with great enthusiasm, while calm and wise men will propose N kinds of plans and unite everyone with the exchange of benefits.

But Ren doesn't like such troubles. Instinct is above profit, and the strongest instinct is the desire to survive. As long as he firmly grasps this point, he will be invincible.

"We don't have the right to say no." The Empress of the Night showed bitterness on her cold face, and said solemnly: "As a king, it is my duty to lead the people to survive, and your mission is my mission!"

Her words really put gold on her face. The higher the person, the stronger the survival instinct. If you go to the infected who are struggling to survive in the slums, you probably don't care much.

Ren sees it through and does not tell the truth. Human beings, as individuals with different thoughts, must be united by someone, and then move towards a goal. He looked at Danino again.

"The Lord said that the Lateran is the land of glory and the sanctuary of all human beings. The Pope's knight is the sword of protection. I should fight for the survival of the earth."

This statement is flawless, and it also represents the aspirations of the religious people in Terra. After all, there is no teaching that makes people self-destructive.

Margaret didn't need Ren to look at it at all, and immediately said firmly: "No matter who the enemy is, the honor of the knight will not make the Casimirs take half a step back!"

"It seems that we have reached an agreement." Ren finally smiled, which is a matter of course. If someone jumps out and says that the destruction of the earth is up to him, it is not a problem with the position, but a problem with the brain.

Now that we have a common goal, it's time to do what to do. Ren has already thought about it.

"This news is transmitted through secret channels, let's see the reactions of all parties."

"They probably won't believe it."

"You don't need to believe, just be prepared." Ren didn't know how many believers were hidden among human beings, and he didn't have time to find them one by one.

"Preparing for military expansion, the chain reaction will naturally make them act."

It is still an upright conspiracy. An arms race is more useful than a door visit. As for whether it will cause self-destruction, it depends on the patience of the enemy and the speed of Rennes.

Those present are all smart people, and after a little thought, they know that this strategy is the most efficient.

"What about the command organization? How to coordinate it?"

"This is your business. I'm too lazy to intervene in military strategy and tactics." Ren is quite self-aware, and besides, with Terra's technological level, it is impossible to coordinate and command the entire land.

The empress breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't stand having multiple lords on her head.

"Don't worry, they won't let you have time to intrigue. If anyone really wants to hinder me, I will personally come forward." Ren half promised, half threatened, he didn't have the energy to play political games, but buckle up People rape 'hats, there is still energy to cut people directly.

After living for countless years, he has long known that there is something above power, and that is absolute power.

"In the name of the twin queens, if there are any snakes and rats in Leitania, I will take care of them myself, and as the 'Queen's Left Hand', you also have the highest prosecutorial power!"

The Queen of the Night bestowed Ashes with the title equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Empire on the spot. The latter nodded his thanks, and it would be best if he could kill people legally.

He looked at Danilo and said bluntly, "I'll leave the matter of Lateran to you. I don't care what happens to your Lord or how the political situation will change in the future, but this country must be under control."

"It's hard, I can try it." The grand master spread his hands, if it weren't for the virtue of chivalry, he really didn't want to go back to that vortex.

Whether the remaining four cardinals have enemies, whether the Lord is reliable, and whether the oracle will be sent down at a critical moment, these things are much more troublesome than the twin empresses.

But Rutland can only be done by him. As one of the seven cardinals and the head of the Pope's Knights, he not only has a wide network of contacts, but also has super strength, and the name change is justified.

"My people will accompany you too." Ren added.

"That will make people feel more at ease." The head of the group finally had some confidence.

In fact, Ren has already predicted that there is something wrong with the 'lord'. As the belief of Lateran, it is definitely a first-class existence among them. Why not come to Letania in person.

He might be broken into pieces, or he might be trapped somewhere, but if he didn't show up, Lateran would have no leader, and Danino was qualified to integrate.

"Do you want to go back to Longmen?" Yao Knight asked.

"The news will be passed on from Texas, and I have nowhere to go yet." Ryan didn't know where to go. After this arrangement, the arms race can push everything forward.

"Then, would you like to reply to this letter?"

Margaret pushed over the long-kept letter. This was a letter from Kjerag, and Ryan was not interested in reading it.

It's not that he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, but that the request of that 'silver gray' was too simple, and he could send anyone to solve it.

But things have to be done, he slowly opened the envelope.

"Your Excellency Ashes, I'm going to Lateran."

"I'm going to summon the nobles of the tower and prepare to convene the Imperial Council."

The queen and the head of the regiment had good eyesight, and they knew that the relationship between the two parties was not as close as that of Margaret. If Ashes were ambushed, they would inevitably be suspected.

They wanted to avoid suspicion, and Ren didn't object. He nodded slightly and picked up the slightly cold black tea. After just one glance, his eyebrows frowned.

In addition to the polite words at the beginning, Enxiodis Shivaash described Kjerag's situation in his letter and described his desire to break the closed ideal.

"There is no natural disaster in Kjerag?"

"Well, there is a rare pure land in the earth, but it is too closed." Margaret replied, Kasimir and Kjerag are neighboring countries, and they know a little about this mysterious country.

At that moment, she briefly mentioned the situation, and Ren compared it with the text in the letter, and got a general understanding.

Kjerag has no natural disasters, but it is extremely closed and primitive, and its religious forces are also very strong. It is probably a primitive version of Lateran, and there is also a mascot-like saint.

"His tears are ice that never melts, his back is an impenetrable rock, and his breath is the cold wind of winter..."

"When he wakes up, the mountains will send a message to him, and the sky will drop colorful lights."

The silver gray in the letter is like a fanatic, there are large passages of scriptures between the lines, every word is full of piety, but every word is full of temptation.

Ren has a good memory, of course he has not forgotten how rational and cold that tall man is, and why does this kind of person seem to be disillusioned?

"This guy guessed what I was looking for and tried to lure me in."

Terrible observation skills, terrifying endurance, Silver Ash has been observing Ashes, and endured until now before throwing out the bait.

"So are you going?" Margaret asked.

Ren didn't answer. He always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, because there was no need for Ashes to go in person in order to master Kjerag. With the power accumulated by Silver Ashes, he would send five Sarkaz Centuries to support him and overthrow one. There is nothing wrong with closing small countries.

He suddenly thought of Lisa, the message of the stinky penguin, and the girl heading north in the wilderness. If there was anything that Ashes needed to do in person, it would only be at a level beyond the reach of mortal wisdom.

"Yeragunde, are you one of those gods?" Ren shattered the letter and stood up slowly.

"It's up to you to solve the affairs of the human kingdom, and let me do the things above that."

"You want to contact them?" Margaret immediately recalled, and persuaded: "These immortals exist in legends, and it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe."

Of course, Ren knows her warning. Unlike human beings who can only be used as food, the position of "gods" can be changed freely. They may resist like the Great Emperor, and they may choose to seek refuge like the black snake, not to mention the ashes The secret of using people as firewood has been revealed, and it is essentially no different from the one in the sky.

"It's okay, these'gods' can't be avoided." Ren waved his hand indifferently, his idea was actually very simple.

Those who are enemies with Ashes will be used as firewood, and those who are willing to unite against foreign enemies will be allies. Anyway, he will never lose money.

This self-confidence also infected Margaret. Protecting the common people is the embodiment of the highest value of a knight. Holding the sword and gun, she asked awe-inspiringly: "When will we start? Do you need me to accompany the Pegasus with the silver gun?"

"No rush." ​​Ren regained his laziness and yawned.

"I'll wait for an old woman to come and hand over."

Chapter 440 Ashes Don't Want To Be Drained Dry

Renn had previously told Skadi that the situation after the First World War in the Winterling Mountains had become clear, and it was really not his intentional pretense.

After gathering the largest national alliance in Terra, the rest of the countries that have not been to can only be forced to release their killing intent. From the emperor of Yan Kingdom to the commander of Colombia, from the chief priest of Sami to Sargon Hamifa, as long as the brain If it is not broken, it will not be arbitrarily armed.

Ashes reluctantly became the spokesperson of the human beings on the earth, officially stating that the chariots and horses are against the sky, but there is still a force between these mortal enemies, which is the gods represented by Yela Gunde and others.

Their era has long ended, but their power is still not to be underestimated, and their position is also very subtle. They are enemies of Ashes and Sky, and they seem to be able to fall to one side at any time.

This is a group that has the right to choose. They can help human beings, convert to the sky, and even hide them as salted fish without helping each other.

Ren's handling of them is also very simple, he can ignore the hidden ones, as long as he is not willing to end the curtain, he is either an enemy or a friend.

"Emperor, Lisa, Kjerag..."

On the way back, Ren kept counting the cards in his hand. The stinky penguin in Longmen cannot be trusted. Even with Penguin Logistics as a bridge, the relationship between the two parties is not good enough to trust the back; Lisa is just an introduction, Dong Guo He was too far away, and he couldn't figure out the details of the group of priests.

Besides, the little fox has become his own, and Ren doesn't want to use her as a transaction condition.

"Kjerag is closer, there is silver ash, at least there is no shortage of leading parties."

Ren made a decision, but he didn't rush to pack his luggage and hurry.

Leaving the land ship, he returned to the station, where the Silver Spear Pegasus had built a camp using the ruins of the tower. As the master, Letania simply ignored their existence except for sending supplies.

In the distance, a group of papal knights were packing their luggage. It seemed that they were going to rush back to Lateran overnight. Danino could vaguely hear Danino leading the knights to pray.

Ren didn't join in the fun. With the prestige and ability of the grand leader, he didn't need Ashes to create a sense of presence, but on the way, he ran into someone.

"Angel, are you going to go back with them?"

The Sakota girl was stuffing food into her travel bag, and when she heard the question, she showed a lively smile: "Well, I want to go back to see my sister on the way."

Remian?

Ren thought of the girl who met once. The battle of Jianfeng was obviously last year, but it seemed a long time ago.

"Alright, I also planned to send someone to accompany you. You will stop in the south of Syracuse for a while, and reinforcements will come from Longmen."

"Reinforcements? Will Xiao Mo go?"

"Mostima must go." Ryan forgot that no one would forget Melancholic Blues, and added: "I have already sent the telegram back to Longmen. In addition to Mostima, Chen Huijie and Muyan are also accompanying me. Don't screw it up."

"Don't worry, Rutland is my place." Angel Neng gave a military salute playfully.

Ren smiled, and then looked at someone not far away who was watching a TV series with a mobile phone.

"Syntleya."

"Why? I don't want to go on a business trip." Platinum looked vigilant, this mission sounds dangerous.

"You send off the energy angels, and after meeting Mostima, bring Rosemary, Lisa, and Lapland back to the Dragon Gate."

"and then?"

"Then you can do whatever you want. Hey, Longmen wants to be prosperous, full of food and entertainment..."

"Leave this task to me. I have long wanted to see what the legendary Dragon Gate looks like." Master Moyu solemnly replied.

You frankly talk about eating, drinking and having fun more than anyone else.

Ren rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, a Sarkaz is about to wake up, don't provoke her."

"Oh."

Platinum didn't listen at all, just like Ceobe who told her to be careful before, there was nothing weird about it other than being silly.

If you insist on killing me, I can't help it.

Ren didn't say much, and then let Texas accompany him, which made Penguin Logistics fall into a near-death situation, and it was time to give them a holiday.

Just as he was about to arrange for other people, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

"Furnace, I want to follow in your footsteps and experience more blood feasts!" Laplande was still frantic and elegant, as if he was wearing a neat tuxedo but his head was swollen like a pig's head.

Bai Jin moved a little further away, she already felt the horror of this kind of person, he belonged to the kind of ruthless person who would suddenly explode and tear your throat apart after being beaten to the brink of death.

Ren looked at her without too much nonsense, just spread his hands, and a beam of flame burned in his palms.

"Don't you want to take a break?"

Extreme greed appeared on Mad Dog's face, she raised her head without saying a word, and smiled with a few pale and sharp teeth.

"Great, you finally chose me!"

After several experiments, Renn became more and more proficient at 'distributing fire', which is inevitable.

Aside from a new skill tree, fighting against the sky is like fighting against the origin stone. Without fire on his body, he has to become a crystal in an instant.

The bright flame burning immediately attracted everyone's attention. It represented life and symbolized another level of power.

Shirtel threw off the blanket on his body and stared straight at it; Platinum was a little longing, but was entangled in fear of danger; Ceobe simply ran over with a bowl in his hand.

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"What do you want, do you think it's cotton candy?" Ren turned around and hit his forehead with a hand knife.

He hurriedly extinguished the fire, looked around, Shirtel met his eyes, snorted and turned his head away, thinking who cares.
