this is my ark journey

If it was last year, everyone would still be willing to fight to the death, at least it would not hurt their families, but now everyone with a discerning eye knows that the empire is in danger, and the gendarmes who enforce the cruel military law are also used as cannon fodder, and there is no harm in surrendering.

Almost no one thought about it, the sound of various weapons falling to the ground rang together, and the patriot also lowered his halberd and sighed.

The imperial army no longer had the courage to fight to the death. Coupled with the high-level chaos and loss of supervision, the garrison troops of Fort St. Jun were all shrunk in the fortress to warm up, and they didn't even send out patrols.

One ebbs and another...

The patriot looked at the dilapidated fortress. Its oval dome was smashed into a big hole by brute force, and there were still traces of burns inside.

In the past, if you attacked this kind of fortress, you would be discovered at a distance of ten kilometers, and then you would have to spend hundreds of lives to conquer it. No, a fortress in a core area like this cannot be defeated at all, because reinforcements will arrive within an hour, but It's too simple now.

The defenders were too slack and let him go directly to the fortress. The patriot threw Skadi out first. This brute force girl broke through a few inches of steel plate with a single sword strike. Sarkaz followed closely from the breach, and the red lotus-like flame instantly dissolved the communication center.

"Lieutenant, a total of 310 seven imperial troops were captured, and the electronic reconnaissance team reported that this fortress did not send out any alarm." Shield Captain Genero walked quickly.

"Very good, we pulled out another nail." The patriot nodded heavily, looking at the two girls coming from the black snow, his eyes full of appreciation.

They are all powerful fighters, and his old man likes them very much.

"How many kilometers away are we from Fort St. Jun? Is there any sign of the latter moving?"

"Within less than [-] kilometers, the spies reported that the central power furnace has not been ignited. In addition, our team is [-] kilometers away, and it is expected to meet within three hours."

"Then they can't escape." Patriot looked to the northwest, and the mobile city entrusted him with many memories.

Grozwall, I'm finally back.

He thought of his son who died in the parade, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

"Notify our people to launch a rebellion in the satellite city immediately to attract the attention of the Empire's last defense force." After finishing speaking, the patriot looked at the two humanoid monsters again, "Miss Skadi, Miss Stelter, can you still fight?" ?"

"Yes." Skadi nodded lightly, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, he just looked at Kuroyuki, feeling instinctively uncomfortable.

Shirtel has long been tired of killing in the snow. Seeing that the killer whale is so straightforward, he can only turn his head to the side: "Hmph, if she can do it, I can do it."

"Okay, let's pull out another fortress and pull the assembly point to within a hundred kilometers. At that time, we only need one assault—"

The patriot raised his halberd and slammed it heavily, roaring in a low voice: "We can stab into the heart of the empire!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The land ship disguised as a large merchant ship was advancing. Its turrets were all covered by thin iron sheets, and they looked sharp from a distance. Except for the ballista allowed by the empire, there was no heavy firepower.

This kind of camouflage was replaced by the past, not to mention going to Fort Saint Jun, even the border areas would be discovered. Although those locust-like military police were greedy, they could sometimes play a positive role. With the road cards everywhere, it was difficult for merchant ships to move an inch.

But now that the empire is in turmoil, all kinds of bandits and rebels are everywhere, who dares to come out to collect tolls, the early warning can only rely on the densely packed fortresses outside Fort St. Jun, but the supplies are all sent to the Kirov front line, most of them Yue didn't receive the supplies, who the fuck still did his duty.

"Patriot forces have eliminated three forts and are opening the way."

"I saw it." Ren waved his hand, the optical monitor magnified the ruins in the distance, and the chrysanthemum-like roof looked like Skadi's handwriting, paused, and asked left and right:

"When the communication signal of the fortress disappears, will the empire send someone to investigate?"

"According to the rule, once an hour, but now that the communication is disturbed, the time will be extended. In addition, the integration movement has infiltrators in the Central Command, who will mislead." An operator with a small shield replied. His name is Sharp, and he has experience. An extremely rich mercenary army stationed in Ursus.

"How long can you fight for the longest?"

"Three hours."

Ren was silent for a moment. The spy status of the integration movement would not be too high, and it was impossible to keep the news hidden. But think about it again. In the past, he was discovered from a long distance, but now he can secretly approach within [-] kilometers. what bike.

"Master Ashes, we have captured the TV signal of Fort Saint Jun."

Ren was taken aback, and immediately said, "Let it out."

The screen on the front of the bridge flashed, and a picture appeared. Even though there was interference like snowflakes, everyone still saw that it was a satellite city of Fort Saint Jun.

Thick smoke has risen, and people armed with iron rods and kitchen knives are attacking the military police. There are burned cars everywhere, and there are also buildings that have been bombarded by Originium cannons. The army is clearing up along the street in a phalanx, but the efficiency is very low , quite suspected of not working hard.

Through the pictures, they can even see that some rioters have already used standard weapons. This is either because they have robbed the arsenal, or because the army has turned against the establishment.

There are many masters with sufficient experience in rebellion here in Rennes, and they look happy when they see it.

"Many of the Central Military Region are locals, and they won't kill you!"

The rebellion must be extinguished when the flames are ignited, and the difficulty will increase linearly when it spreads, and the rebellion in this satellite city has passed the initial stage.

"The empire doesn't have much territory now, and the cruel exploitation in the past will cause a chain reaction. Maybe the six satellite cities will collectively rebel!"

The rebel experts of the integration movement are analyzing the current situation. Due to the loss of the territory, the empire will increase its exploitation. Coupled with the recent infection storm caused by the black snow, the explosive barrels have been ignited.

Operators and mercenaries set their sights on the fortress guns in satellite cities. Those heavy weapons can destroy land ships with one shot, but now the manipulators have gone to suppress the rebellion.

"Your Excellency, let's do it!" Ace stepped out decisively, typing quickly on the keyboard with both hands, and a lot of data and lines appeared on the other screen.

"If we advance at the maximum speed, we will be able to reach the attack position tomorrow morning. The enemy has no spare power to review the news, and the satellite city, as the last and strongest line of defense, is also useless."

A 'peach blossom' appeared on the screen. The six satellite cities were the petals, and the huge Fort St. Jun was the stamen. In the past, no matter what direction you attacked from, you would be attacked by crossfire.

"The enemy is already in chaos, and with the cover of black snow, we can sneak around the satellite city and attack the core directly."

A group of mercenaries and elite operators are all nodding. The success rate of this plan is very high. As long as they can sail into the port of Fort Saint Jun, the elite can launch a surprise attack on the summer palace. dissipate.

This is the flowering of the center, the difficulty lies in how to bypass the enemy's defense, but the empire has always been short of great virtues and brought the opportunity to its lips.

Ren sat on a chair, propped his head on his hands, and maintained his calm amidst the strong fighting spirit.

Logically speaking, there is no problem, everything has been foreshadowed, the cruelty of the empire, and the fire it sprinkled by itself, it is normal for such an outbreak.

The original plan was to raid the satellite city. After attracting the attention of the enemy, Ren led a sneak attack on the summer palace with his masters. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

But is it really that simple?Those scheming enemies just do nothing and just die?

Even if there is no sign of exposure now, Ren still doesn't believe it.

"Where is the demon?"

Hedley quickly called up the map and drew a circle on the screen with a laser pointer: "According to the report of Kingslayer, they are still besieging Petersburg, and their forward is still [-] kilometers away from St. Coming soon."

The integration movement has been sending people to keep an eye on the demons, and since Ursas's northern defense line has not yet collapsed, even if the demons go south, there will not be too many demons.

Is it really fat meat delivered to your door?

Ren frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The flowering in the center also meant that if there was an ambush, the trapped troops would not be able to escape safely. He could never give up on the Patriots, Skadi, W, Stelter and a group of people. Cardinals veterans, elite operators.

The most important thing is this black snow, not only like a super-large 'country' covering the vision of the soul, but also he feels that there is an invisible eye watching the earth.

"I smell a conspiracy." Ren suddenly smiled and made a decision: "The speed of this ship remains unchanged. After meeting with the Patriot troops, it will hide outside the satellite city."

"You're worried about an ambush. It's impossible. There are Knights Kazimir in the west of Fort St. Jun, and the battle of Kirov in the east. The demons are thousands of miles away. Lord Ashes, don't miss this opportunity!" Ace yelled dissatisfied.

"That's right, several outlying fortresses have been lost in a row, and this news cannot be hidden for too long." Sharp said concisely. If Ashes hadn't been known for his resourcefulness, he would have started complaining long ago.

Isn't he brave and unparalleled in the legend?Why are you so stubborn.

The two had never dealt with each other before, so of course he didn't know that Rennes could lead the charge when he should be decisive, and turn into a bastard when he should be cowardly. No matter how the enemy teased him, he would never stick his head out.

"Then let them find out, just to see if the Lieutenant General Deshka really surrendered." Renn smiled cunningly. He likes to strike late, so he got up and glanced around, and said:

"Don't forget, the main conflict now is the demons. Will those ministers and generals betray mankind for the sake of an emperor? The demons can tolerate a few believers, but they can't accept all the nobles of Ursus."

Even if the evil spirits wanted to, the nobles didn't know how to negotiate with the monsters. Besides, the matter in the north couldn't be hidden from the higher-ups. Smart people were already thinking about which side the emperor was on.

Ren doesn't care about the high-ranking Ursas who are destined to fall apart. He is only afraid of those strange powers. As soon as the banner of the movement was lit, many people might not have greeted Master Wang on the spot.

Whether it is an operator or a mercenary, their eyes are still on the war between countries, and Renn only has the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes, and in contrast, the mastermind behind the scenes only has his eyes on him.

Leaving aside a group of disaffected soldiers, Ren walked out of the bridge, and immediately saw W leaning against the wall with his arms folded.

"You are finally willing to get up, you won't drink the element bottle." Ren joked.

The corner of W's mouth twitched, but he didn't blush, and replied viciously: "You wait for my old lady!"

"I'll wait for you to challenge at any time." Ren spread his hands, obviously shameless to the extreme, and said after a moment of hesitation:

"I'm going to Fort Saint Jun to confirm something, you just stay here."

"Aren't you bothered by infiltrating again? Or are you afraid of that killer whale?" W laughed sinisterly.

"It has nothing to do with Skadi. I'm always a little flustered, but I don't dare to throw you into Fort St. Jun. Also, Frost Star is about to wake up, so don't say anything unnecessary." Ren can already feel it The flames are dancing, passing the fire several times in a row, and the sleeping time is slowly decreasing.

Hearing this warning, W shrugged indifferently: "I haven't lived enough yet."

On one side is Skadi, and on the other is Frost Star with her old father. She is not a masochist, so why was she beaten up?

"As long as you know." Ren breathed a sigh of relief, this is also a trick.

Although W is a mad dog, he can still tell right from wrong. If it is in Longmen, do you think the cockroach spirit will say "Whether it is a kiss or something else, his first time is my W da", but now More than 100 kilometers away is the capital of Ursus, causing disputes not only harms itself, but also harms Rennes.

Fighting is fighting, and life is living. If the two sides really can't avoid it, then the current environment is the most suitable.

"Fortunately, that silly dog ​​went to the north to support." Ren shuddered, it would be a lot of fun if they all huddled together.

To be on the safe side, he didn't tell anyone what happened. Even if there were Ursus spies in the commando, it was impossible for Ashes to leave the army and leave alone.

According to the thinking of normal people, this is all in front of Fort St. Jun, there is no need to act alone, and there are only two people who can keep an eye on them.

One is this land ship, and the other is the Patriot guerrillas. Ren has no intention of contacting anyone, and it is too easy to sneak into the enemy's rear with his current ability.

He and W returned to the room and glanced at the crumpled quilt.

"I will use fire to convey information, and then before the attack starts, you stay here and use the communication terminal to convey orders to Hedley, and by the way, use confidential communication to pass these words to Tallulah."

"You want me to be a megaphone?" W took the note and glanced at it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"It's troublesome."

"That's about the same." The cockroach spirit felt relieved all of a sudden. She admitted that the 'Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission' is very useful. By arranging the people who transmit the fire at each node, you can engage in multi-line operations, and you are not afraid of being interfered or intercepted.

"By the way, pay attention to the movement in the ship to see if anyone is inquiring about me, and Skadi and Frost Star..."

"Okay, okay, don't be here, mother-in-law, I just want to see how you get into Fort Saint Jun." W interrupted a little irritatedly, there are tens of thousands of enemies ahead, if there is really an ambush, there must be [-] prepared reverse osmosis method.

"Simple." Ren closed his mouth and put on the transformation ring.

W's eyes widened, her saliva was about to come out, but before she could pounce on it, the golden magic circle had already emerged under her feet.

The brilliance of miracles shone, and the cockroach spirit flew and hit the wall, and had to roll around on the ground with its head in its arms.

No need for transportation, no need to contact anyone, not even bothering to use the charm, Ashes chose to fly in!

..........

The prelude to the decisive battle has begun, and for the integration movement, the current situation is very good.

Ashes proposed a surprise victory decisively and clearly, and even made countless strategic deceptions in order to achieve this goal.

The [-] army was the bait, and the most elite assault regiment was assembled, and even made several layers of camouflage.

The ashes around Tallulah were fake, and the most cutting-edge land ships were also disguised as merchant ships. The experienced mercenaries scratched their heads and didn't see any trace of exposure.All kinds of spies were activated, and the Central Command and the satellite cities worked together to create a fighter.

Fort St. Jun is in chaos, the insurmountable fortress is disintegrating from within, any normal person thinks this is the best chance to kill with one blow, but the Ashes who planned this war are discouraged.

The gray sky made it difficult to distinguish day from night, a halo of light appeared in the depths of Groniel Avenue, and a girl wearing the uniform of a lieutenant of the Imperial Gendarmerie came out.

Dilapidated uniform, short gray curly shoulder-length hair, no need to pretend to be murderous, no matter how you look at it, he is a soldier who has experienced many battles. He looked back and forth, his slender eyebrows raised.

There were screams and war cries in the distance. The soldiers and civilians of the empire were killing each other. Some military vehicles drove past the street at high speed, rolling up a little black snow, while heavily armed gendarmes patrolled the street, and the entire Fort Saint Jun was a scene of chilling. .

"Lucky, I didn't teleport to the enemy." Ren looked around, hiding his body in the darkness and panting slightly.

His miracle could not be teleported over a long distance, and he experienced dozens of pauses in the middle, and there was no flame as a coordinate, so he could only roughly choose a location to jump in.

Fort St. Jun's troops were all deployed to the periphery, and it would take time and effort to roll in with such a density using conventional methods, so he simply 'airdropped' in, bypassing all eyeliners.

Wish I was outwitting the air.

Ren sighed. He was not afraid of being discovered by the enemy. Anyway, he was alone, and no one could stop him from leaving. As for this caution, it was due to the fact that the enemies he had dealt with were not low in IQ.

He used the same tactic once in Kazdel, attracting upwards and attacking elites. Ren didn't believe that this group of people would fall twice in the same pit under the halo of reducing intelligence.

"Still, I prefer to go it alone."

With a sneer, he jumped onto the roof, then lowered his body and ran. The black snow covered the vision of the soul, and also blocked the sight of the sentinel.

The architectural style of Fort St. Jun is similar to that of Chernobog, with wide roads and square five-story buildings like tofu blocks, somewhat like the apartment buildings I lived in in my previous life.

Of course, as the capital, the artistic atmosphere here is even stronger.

Fountains, sculptures, and theaters are interspersed among the various blocks, but these entertainment facilities are no longer used, and with the accumulation of black snow, they look dilapidated.

There were not many civilians in the whole city. If it weren't for the military police who occasionally passed by, Fort St. Jun would be more like an abandoned city.

The core of an empire actually looks like this. I have to say that Ren is a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, the fleeing of civilians also means that the number of people affected will be greatly reduced.

Fort St. Jun is circular and divided into inner, middle and outer rings. The inner part is naturally the palace group dominated by the "Summer Palace", the residence of successive Ursas emperors, and the middle part is the residence of the great nobles and government agencies. , the outermost and six satellite cities are the civilian residences and military camps, and the overall appearance is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
