Ark, they don't revolve around you

But that was the end. Black Snake quietly gave the order: "Activate the core city, my warriors, move forward!"

The roar spread like ripples, and the remaining core city of Chernobyl started up. The engine vibrated, and the tracks crushed all the obstructing soil and rocks. On the already opened waterway, it moved forward slowly and resolutely like a giant beast!

Conspiracies and schemes are often of no use because there are too many unexpected events and the factors involved in this world are too complicated. Each one is like a gear meshing with each other. Once one of the links gets stuck, the whole thing will fall apart.

but.

The general trend is different.

The general trend is like a mountain stream, with loose rocks rolling down the slope. The trend cannot be changed by humans. Black Snake laughed loudly. What if Zhuang Ning could see through her actions?

When the core city of Chernobyl crashes into Longmen, can he just watch the incident become irreversible? Black Snake is certain that he will come eventually. She has already made countless calculations in her mind. Zhuang Ning will usher in the darkness at the moment of victory. By then, Black Snake will be able to occupy the man's spirit and seize his body!

The script and the stage are ready, all we need is the actors.

Unfortunately, Black Snake only missed one point - in fact, she didn't understand Zhuang Ning at all.

……

Longmen, the Chief Executive's Office Building is hazy in the rain and fog. It is just like the long scene in the movie, cold, deserted and miserable.

To put it in a positive way, it feels unreal, but how can a dream need to be real, Zhuang Ning thought. In his eyes, Wei Yanwu was intimidating without even getting angry. Holding a pipe, this man always looked unfathomable, with a face so sharp that it seemed as if it had been sharpened with a knife.

The Integration Movement fled hastily from the Dragon Gate. He won, but he did not dare to relax at all. This man heard worse news.

"Lord Wei." Kal'tsit opened her mouth, her eyes deep as water, "Is Chernobog heading towards Longmen?"

"Are you continuously sending identification codes to Longmen to show that you are still part of Ursus's territory?"

For a moment, everyone in the hall gasped, and a horrible guess emerged in everyone's mind.

War - this is a warning of war. On the stairs that were never touched, some people closed their eyes in fear, tears kept falling and sobbing. It seemed that the roar of artillery fire and the scene of the gantry collapsing in despair appeared in their eyes.

The backbone of Rhodes Island was all there, and seeing everyone was silent, Amiya stepped forward without hesitation.

She thought there was a way to solve it. Since Longmen couldn't take action due to its own position, she could just let Rhodes Island come.

Rhodes Island has no stance, not to mention that this time it has a righteous cause, the bandits will surely be defeated!

There is no one more suitable than Rhodes Island. Zhuang Ning is silent and even more indifferent than before. He is simply the best sucker. If he wins, he gets nothing, and if he loses, he will have to bear the consequences.

He held Amiya at the right time and transferred a little strength to her. Amiya realized something and turned her head away in despair, but met his dark gaze.

"We shouldn't get involved." Zhuang Ning shook his head. "Rhodes Island should leave Longmen and stay away from the quagmire of war."

Why would you go and die for Longmen and Yan? No. Why not start the war?

Without war, how can resources be redistributed to prevent the world from falling into chaos? How can he have room to intervene?

Although he knew that this was just an illusion created by the black snake, Zhuang Ning was still unwilling to let him succeed. He never liked to give the initiative to the other party.

but.

The black snake reminded him that if he wanted to achieve the goal of unifying Terra, the fastest way was to ignite a war. War was an efficient means of allocating resources, and Ursus and Yan could be the fuse for this.

When two big countries go to war, who among the small countries around them can sit idly by and watch? When conflicts break out, perhaps there will be a more appropriate word to describe it in the future?

World War.

What a wonderful script.

It's a pity that this is just an illusion after all, and time cannot be reversed. If Zhuang Ning is really given a chance to start over, he will curse, "Fuck Chernobyl! I just want to see the two countries fight. Popcorn and Coke are ready.

——Boring, I want to see rivers of blood.

Black Snake was waiting for him to attend the banquet, but Zhuang Ning mocked him, saying that not only did he cancel the banquet, he also felt free of any burden and could even tell Black Snake openly that his heart was as clear as a mirror and that everything he did was just.

As I started to think about it, the system screen popped up.

【Task: Another possibility. 】

【What would happen if you chose war at the beginning? 】

[Simulate the future, put aside the narrow-mindedness of the Undead Black Snake, and use this illusion as a blueprint to simulate another possibility for you. ]

Chapter 54: The Year of War

Zhuang Ning was stunned for a moment, staring at the system for a long time, and then realized what it meant, and his breathing became a little disordered.

The system has always been omnipotent. This mission is to provide him with an opportunity, a possibility of... unifying Terra!

It's still fake, but if it's a world created by the system, it should be infinitely close to reality, right?

His blood boiled.

What are you hesitating about? After so many years, have you improved your abilities? It is very difficult to unify Terra. Have you tried hard?

He said he would start working hard now and took on the task without hesitation.

In an instant, the world vibrated. From a corner of the sky and earth, the fog that could not be touched by the illusion began to change rapidly. Wastelands emerged, cities stood up, Kazdel, Lateran, Leitania... countless countries sprang up from the ground, imitating the reality. Simple faces appeared out of thin air, as if the gods in the myth created the world.

The illusion became reality!

The pointer began to move, and Zhuang Ning clenched his hands in a trance. Beside him, each person became alive, their eyes were no longer empty. They were no longer puppets fabricated from memory, but were given real life.

"PhD?"

"It's nothing, Amiya, let's leave immediately. Longmen will soon be in chaos and we won't be able to do anything." Zhuang Ning held Amiya's hand tightly. The girl was so confused that she hugged Zhuang Ning and started crying.

"It's okay, it's okay, we tried our best, Amiya." Zhuang Ning comforted her.

however.

On the side that Amiya couldn't see, a gloomy smile appeared, and the expression disappeared little by little, as if an evil spirit rose from the ground.

……

That day, Black Snake waited in the command tower for a long time, but no one showed up.

She was stood up, and Zhuang Ning let Chernobog attack the goal.

She felt that some majestic presence was changing the weather in the sky, adjusting the world she had built.

This is……

Her eyes were dull.

But there was no time allowed for her. The core city had already rushed into the range of Longmen's shooting. There were artillery shells falling, like roaring thunder. She was shocked to find that the projectiles were chiseling into the walls of the core city just like the real ones.

Black Snake laughed. Even though he was delayed, he still laughed out loud. This meant that Zhuang Ning had realized that war was necessary. Once a little spark was ignited, it would continue to burn until every corner was burned.

The flames surged, and she looked like a black flower blooming in hell.

……

Ursus, Saint Stein Castle, in the red-carpeted hall, the king flew into a rage: "Witt, you said... the Third Army has been dispatched?!"

The voice was like a lion, echoing in the hall. The man, like a minister, lowered his head and sighed softly after a long time: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Third Army has been dispatched. They launched an offensive against Dayan, just like the Battle of Blood Peak twenty years ago."

The king looked pale. More than 20 years had passed, and the Battle of the Blood Summit was still like a shadow lingering over the heads of the Ursus people. The army launched an invasion of the small Eastern Kingdom, but suffered a great defeat, suffered heavy casualties, and returned empty-handed.

However, Yan is not the East Country. This country is a dragon. Even though it likes to coil up and not show its existence on weekdays, when the dragon is truly angry, it will bring a bottomless abyss.

The already exhausted national strength would be further depleted. The king was silent for a long time, and jokingly said to his prime minister: "Witt, people in the future will definitely curse me. It was me who brought destruction to the empire."

"Your Majesty, do not underestimate yourself."

"This is not self-deprecation." The king was dressed in military uniform, dressed like a soldier, "Come, let's go to war with Yan Country, we have no choice.

……

In the capital of Yan State, a man sat on a dragon throne carved with red gold. The tassels on his crown drooped, hiding the king's cold eyes.

"Brother, tell me, what is going on..."

Wei Yanwu knelt before him, not daring to raise his head. He already had shackles on his hands, no longer looking as majestic as before: "I am no longer a member of the royal family."

"Blood is thicker than water. I don't want to hear any nonsense. What I want to ask is, has Longmen been captured?"

The voice seemed to come from the mouth of some giant beast, very low. But that was why he had the killing intent. The real dragon sighed softly, and the king who wore a robe and resisted the sun and the moon walked down the steps and murmured, "I really want to kill you, brother."

"But I can't kill you, I can't... after all, you are my brother."

"Brother, when the Emperor was alive, he loved you so much, but you brought war to Da Yan... I am deeply saddened."

Every word is heartbreaking.

Wei Yanwu said nothing, just buried his head lower to the ground.

The real dragon has returned to the jade throne and waved his arm: "Let the Minister of War come over."

"Yumen is preparing to march westward, and the soldiers of Tianji Pavilion are also recruited. Ren Ping Chonghou is appointed as the General of the Western Expedition and the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Frontier. Ursus is a clown, an ignorant barbarian, like a bloody beast, a demon, and I knew there would be a war." The real dragon sneered, "Since they have provoked a war, then let's fight. But by then, if they want to cease fire, it will not be up to them to decide!"

……

A dark little house.

Light shone on the table, revealing several completely different newspapers. These newspapers belonged to different countries and were written in different languages.

If we look at it in chronological order, the first one is the Ursus Evening News.

The time was January 1097. The report said that Longmen had destroyed Chernobyl in a disgusting way, which was a strong provocation to the sovereignty and dignity of Ursus. The deputy commander of the Third Army of Ursus and the governor of Xiangsong, the Grand Duke of Baikal, severely condemned such actions.

At present, the emperor has approved the dispatch of the army group, and the army will be stationed at the border and launch an attack today. 】

In February, the report said, "Longmen has been captured, and the Ursus army did not hurt civilians." The accompanying pictures showed Ursus soldiers and Longmen citizens forcing smiles.

In April, [Yan not only did not ask for peace, but also dared to use force to force, but Ursus's demands were completely just and correct! ]

In July, [the war reached a stalemate, but the Ursus soldiers were stronger than the Yan country soldiers, and victory finally belonged to Ursus! ]

In October, [the shameless Casimirs betrayed the non-aggression pact and attacked cities in southern Ursus! ]

The second is the Casimir Daily, which begins in October.

[The people of Casimir have been bullied by Ursus for too long. The Supervisory Council has determined that this is the best time to reclaim their homeland. The national sentiment of Casimir is unprecedentedly high, and the Pegasus with Silver Spears is marching eastward! ]

The third one was a letter sent to Leitania from November, and it was actually in the form of a request.

[Your Majesty, if we don’t seize the opportunity, we will never have another chance.

Now that the Silver Spear Pegasus has gone out to fight, Casimir is left empty-handed. At this moment, Leitania will surely succeed if she strikes suddenly!

By then, after dividing Casimir with Ursus, we can march into Victoria and occupy Londinium under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion!
