In Ark Simulator, why do I always start out as a ruthless person?.

"Then, Cyril Linguang, answer me."

"What can your Linguang family's surrender bring to me?"

"——The knights of the Linguang family are willing to serve as the vanguard of your majesty's expedition to foreign countries."

Cyril, who heard that Chen Qi was about to give in, seized this most critical opportunity and immediately said:

"We are willing to take our entire family as hostages and leave it to your majesty to deal with."

"At the same time, we are also willing to lead the knights and silver spear steeds that originally belonged to Casimir to fight for your majesty."

"Oh? Then how can I believe that you, who command the army, will not join forces with those knights and stab me in the back?"

Chen Qi sneered grimly.

"...We are willing to persuade the knights of war and the Pegasus to take their families as hostages and leave them to your majesty to deal with."

In response to this soul-stirring question, and in the end, facing the threat to the lives of thousands of Casimir people, Cyril still chose to say these words, which can be described as "selling out one's country for personal gain."

This battle-hardened old man understood that what the cold-blooded emperor had just said to Margaret was nothing more than a threat.

If he was really such a cruel king, neither the Gaul survivors who surrendered to him nor the Syracuse people would have the stable life they have today.

What the emperor wanted was to rule Casimir in peace.

But facing the fate of thousands of Casimir people, Cyril dared not gamble, nor was he worthy of taking the gamble.

The only thing he could do was to let the Linguang clan bear all the blame.

At least in this way, the lives of the Casimir people can be protected.

At least in this way, even if the "Linguang" clan is called traitors, they will have a clear conscience.

"I only ask Your Majesty to spare Casimir's people."

"The Linguang clan is willing to use time and achievements to prove itself to His Majesty."

"We are helpful to your majesty's great cause."

"..."

Cyril crushed all the glory, dignity and responsibility of his life into powder and turned them into sincere plea.

This heart-pounding silence lasted for more than ten minutes.

Finally, the emperor in front of them calmly uttered the verdict they had been waiting for for a long time.

"...I agree."

These short sentences announced the fate of the Casimir people.

The Casimirs had finally avoided being reduced to a slave-like existence.

At the same time, it also announced that there would no longer be any existence on this land that could threaten Chen Qi's rule.

Casimir was thus completely pacified.

Chapter 62: The Arrival of Sarkaz and the Cooperation of Tracys

[After the Linguang family, the heroic family of Casimir, announced their surrender, your rule in Casimir was finally stabilized. ]

[You still appoint Russell, who surrendered on behalf of Casimir, to continue governing the half of the Casimir government occupied by Leithania.]

[As for those businessmen who chose to betray Casimir's "Commercial Federation" in pursuit of a freer and more open business environment. ]

[You also gave them the rewards they promised.]

[Knight competition, the last limit of Casimir was also broken. 】

[Most of the competitive knights, who were born as commoners and supported and packaged by capital, can finally achieve the transition from commoners to nobles through knight competitions! 】

[You announce that the competitive knight who wins the Knight's Tournament, regardless of his status or birth, will be awarded the title of knight and the title of "Sir"! ]

[And you also lifted restrictions on the infected, allowing the infected knights to participate in the knight competition. ]

[Also, as long as the infected can win the Knights' Tournament, you promise in the name of the Emperor that you will give them the same treatment and status as nobles.]

【At the same time, you did not forget to reorganize Casimir's army. 】

[In this war to annihilate a nation, almost all members of the “Silver Spear Pegasus” died on the battlefield.]

[The knight nobles lost their most powerful military support, and a huge vacuum appeared in Casimir's national defense. ]

[For these defeated and surrendered knights with low morale, you also proposed policies to inspire their fighting spirit. ]

【The title is awarded based on military merit. 】

[In the Great Knight Territory, you publicly declared that you would rebuild the "Silver Spear Pegasus" Knights from the fighting knights.]

[And this Silver Spear Pegasus Knights will be led by the second son of the Linguang family, Maenna Linguang himself. 】

[The only criterion for joining the "Silver Spear Pegasus" Knights is military merit! ]

[As long as you accumulate enough military merit to become a knight who can join the "Silver Spear Pegasus", you can be granted the title of baron and become a true noble! ]

[In other words, joining the "Silver Spear Pegasus" means that you have become a new noble of Casimir.]

[For a time, your rule-breaking policy caused an uproar throughout Casimir.]

[The Business Federation did not expect that you would be so generous as to open the Casimir market completely to them! ]

[The competitive knights had never thought that just being able to get the title of knight through the knight competition was something they had never dared to think about before.]

[And this Emperor of Leitania is so generous to them? ]

[Not only can you get the title of knight by participating in the competition, but you can even become a noble lord by winning the championship? ]

[Is there such a good thing in the world? ]

[Even the infected knights who were turned against by the mace were extremely surprised by this. ]

[After all, none of these Infected Knights have ever really been to Leitania.]

[Most of what they knew about the situation of the infected in Leitania came from the mace and some rumors.]

【For those who live in the darkest part of society, the reason they believe in the mace is simply because they think, “No matter how bad it gets, it won’t matter.” They just want to throw the jar away once and for all. 】

[They never thought that you would actually fulfill your promise to improve the conditions of the infected.]

[Although the Knights are in competition, they are still at a disadvantage against the Infected Knights who cannot afford good equipment. ]

[But in the face of the temptation of the title, being able to have a fair chance to compete is definitely a great blessing for them! ]

[What's more, Casimir is now a part of Leitania. ]

[Even if I can't make it in the knight competition, can't I still support my family by working as a factory worker? ]

[For a time, both the Business Federation and the competitive knights were overjoyed by your new decree! ]

[Just one week after the fall of the Great Knight Territory, the Commercial Federation announced that the Knight Competition would continue! ]

[Not only that, the scale of this knight competition is definitely the largest in Casimir's history! ]

[Whether it is sponsored by the Business Federation or independent competitive knights, from the infected to some expedition knights, they all signed up for the knight competition! 】

[And for the majority of the knights who were born as commoners and whose strength will never allow them to become "Silver Spear Pegasus" in their lifetime, your decree is undoubtedly also of great appeal. ]

[After all, in the past, there were only two ways to become a "Silver Spear Pegasus" in Casimir.]

[Either you were born into a noble family, or you were born with great strength. ]

[As for the Terra continent where "kings, princes, generals and ministers are really brave", these two conditions are almost binding. 】

[Now, the newly formed Silver Spear Pegasus doesn't care much about birth and strength, and only cares about military achievements. ]

[This allows the knights who have only been able to serve as meat shields for the Silver Spear Pegasus and fill in the battle line, and whose pay is not high, to finally have room for advancement! ]

[Of course, it is unlikely that these knights will forget their national hatred and family feuds just based on this point.]

[This will take time and some coercive measures.]

[On the one hand, you began to have the propaganda department spread the situation in the Casimir region ruled by Ursus as news and widely publicized it in the country.]

[On the other hand, the task of reorganizing the army was handed over to an important surrendered general.]

[Maenna Linguang took all her family members as hostages in exchange for your trust. 】

[Although you know that Mayenna has no loyalty to you. ]

[Maena, who seems to have no reaction to Casimir's destruction, actually hates you for destroying Casimir just like her niece Margaret.]

[But Mauna, who carries the lives of thousands of Casimir civilians and the safety of her family, will never dare to betray you.]

【This is enough for you. 】

[You don't expect the Casimirs to be as fanatically loyal to you as the Leitanians are.]

[But as long as you hold a price they cannot afford, it will be fine to make them work for you. ]

[And in the future, when you have extinguished all their hopes with your own hands. ]

【They will give up their fantasies and truly work for you. 】

[And when you conquered Casimir for a month, and brought huge profits to the knight competition, you were smiling every day. ]

【A better news reaches your ears. 】

[Fremont, who you sent to Kazdel to negotiate with the Sarkaz, has completed his mission! ]

[The Sarkaz clan is willing to be your helper in exchange for Leitania's construction and protection of Kazdel. ]

[Fremont has also brought you an unexpected guest.]

[The regent of the Sarkaz, Tresis. 】

"The Sarkaz Regent, Tresis."

"On behalf of all the Sarkaz, I greet the respected Emperor Leitania!"

Tracys, who was wearing armor and had short pink and white hair, was young but kept his emotions to himself. He left a deep impression on Chen Qi at their first meeting.

As the regent of the Sarkaz, Tracys lowered his posture when he first met him.

Not only did he immediately salute Chen Qi with the popular Leitanian salute.

Afterwards, he knelt on one knee like a subject to show his respect to Chen Qi who was sitting on the throne.

Before Chen Qi even opened his mouth, Tracys, who was humble, understood what he meant and immediately explained where the excitement and excitement in his heart came from.

"The Sarkaz are a 'rootless tribe' rejected by all nations and races on this land."

"The Sarkaz only hoped to rebuild our country on the ruins of their homeland, but what they encountered was destruction, trampling and humiliation time and time again."

"I originally thought that the Sarkaz would never have any companions in this land. The rise of the Sarkaz could only rely on the unity of the Sarkaz."

"But now, the respected Emperor Leitania is not only willing to provide shelter for our clan, but also willing to lead our clan to fulfill our wish of revenge against all the countries in this land that have humiliated us!"

At this point, even Tracy, who has always been known as an iron-blooded and ruthless king, sounded a little excited.

"We, the Sarkaz, are very grateful for your generosity and for giving us the opportunity for revenge!"

"For the sake of our Sarkaz descendants, we shall serve His Majesty loyally!"

【What Tracy said is not false.】

[When Fremont, one of the kings, the Lich King, expressed your alliance signal to the siblings Theresa and Theresa, the siblings were extremely surprised.]

[After all, the only interaction between the Sarkaz and distant Leitania was when Kal'tsit united all the countries to destroy Kazdel.]

[There is only hatred between the two sides, and no communication. Why did Leitania extend an olive branch to them at this time? 】

[However, after Fremont explained the situation to the brother and sister, they immediately realized that they were involved in a vortex called "World War".]

[An emperor of Leitania who hopes to unify the Terra continent needs the Sarkaz to become his weapon to accomplish his great cause. ]

[In return, he will give the Sarkaz the long-awaited protection and prosperity, as well as the continuation of their race! ]

[Moreover, Fremont, the lich king who has lived for thousands of years, made his own judgment to the brother and sister. ]

"This kid's future achievements will definitely be higher than that guy Helhunzolun!"

"Herhunzollon only knows how to rely on his own strength, hoping that he can accomplish everything and solve all problems by himself."

"He regarded all those who were inferior to him as ants, but in the end he was overthrown by the power of those he regarded as ants."

"But this kid is different."
