I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Standing behind the two, Chen Huijie initially admired the legendary Wendigo before her; he was undoubtedly a qualified father. However, a sense of displeasure quickly arose in her heart.

Damn it, where are you going? Your own little devil is not someone your daughter can take away.

A mere mistress dares to try and take over?

If the timing hadn't been wrong, she would have definitely stood up to advocate for sovereignty.

Bai Yue was also somewhat surprised. She thought she was going to have a big battle with this terrifying Wendigo. It seems she underestimated his love for his daughter.

Theresa was absolutely right; my understanding of human nature was truly lacking...

But he wasn't about to agree, and just as he was about to shake his head, Vishdel's belated voice came from behind him:

“That won’t do, old man. We’re not back to slink away. Would you like to hear the intelligence my companions risked their lives to gather? I think you’ll be interested.”

"W."

“Wrong!” Vishdel walked to Bai Yue’s side and waved his hand to correct her, “I have a new name now, Vishdel, don’t call me that wrong anymore.”

“...Vishdel.” Bozokas read it aloud for him, a sudden pang of pain shooting through his heart.

Even though a long time has passed since he left Kazdel, the blood of the Sarkaz still flows in his veins. Vishdel... wishing for a home, such a name...

"A good name," he complimented.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Vishdel looked pleased, then spread his hands and said directly:

“My former companion, Ines, saw two shadows in your leader, Talulah: one was herself, and the other was the shape of a snake. And that's why she was destroyed.”

"Old man, what is the value of this intelligence to you?"

Bozokastie was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I cannot believe your one-sided account."

Bai Yue raised her hand to explain, "It's not just one side of the story."

"..." Bozokast looked at him, not wanting to speak.

Bai Yue smiled, not minding, and continued, "I imagine many people in Ursus have heard the story of the Undying Black Serpent, but they only hear it as a story."

“But I am different, well… to be precise, succubi are different. In the echoes of my bloodline, my ancestors fought against the black serpent and attempted to replicate the techniques by which he achieved immortality.”

"Therefore, I can be fairly certain that the black serpent has captured Talulah's mind and exists within her body as a curse."

"Now, cooperation or... heh, patriots of the Reunion Movement, the choice is yours."

Bozokastie remained silent.

Chapter 91 Royal Secrets

Bozokasti left, his steps heavy when he came, and his steps were still heavy when he left.

Froststar gazed at his retreating figure and sighed, "That stubborn old man."

Bai Yue shrugged and laughed easily, "But at least he didn't stop us. If we had really started fighting, that black snake would have found out, and if she had been prepared, that wouldn't have been good."

Chen Huijie pulled Bai Yue away from Shuangxing and asked suspiciously, "What you just said to Bozhuokast, was it true or made up? You've never told me this before."

“I only found out recently myself.” Bai Yue nodded and gestured to Lars in the distance, “When he knelt down before me, I accidentally saw the memories flowing in my blood, and this was one of them. It’s not fake.”

"I don't understand you Sarkaz."

Chen Huijie shook her head helplessly: "The memories and spells passed down through bloodlines... it's like a fairy tale. Are all Sarkaz like this?"

Vishdel approached and said calmly, "If the Sarkaz were like this, then the kingdoms of Terra would have been destroyed by us long ago, and they wouldn't have had the chance to besiege us."

"The little guy is able to do this because of his strong bloodline, which allows him to easily receive gifts from his ancestors. Ordinary Sarkaz can never reach this level in their entire lives."

"That's it, I understand."

Chen Huijie nodded, a hint of joy in her eyes. She quite liked hearing others praise her little devil, as it made her seem like she had good taste.

After a while, she calmed down, looked towards the core tower, and said worriedly, "When are we going to rescue Talulah? I'm a little worried... Is the Black Serpent really that terrifying?"

Bai Yue curled her lip in disdain: "It's just a parasite. All it does is chatter on and on in other people's heads all day long. It would behave itself if you put it in the head of a mental patient."

"Heh..." Chen Huijie chuckled, her bewildered mood eased, and waved her hand:

"Don't say that. Uncle Wei... he finally managed to defeat him once and take the Dragon Gate from him. Now he's lost again. There's no doubt how dangerous he is. Don't let your guard down."

“I know.” Bai Yue nodded seriously: “Gather the Sarkaz mercenaries, let’s set off now and attack the core tower target.”

"Note: Surrender and you will not be killed."

"Froststar, you will lead a team to persuade the Reunion Movement members on the outskirts to surrender. As long as they are willing to lay down their weapons, their lives will be guaranteed. Also, see if there are any willing to abandon the darkness and join the light."

"...Yes, Chief."

“Vishdel, you know this place well, and the Sarkaz respect you. Go and gather all the Sarkaz mercenaries in the core city and attack the core tower in my name.”

"Yes, my dear leader."

"Chen Chen, you... uh, you stay by my side and protect me. Let's go find Black Snake and settle the score."

"Ah."

.........

A hidden corner.

"Hiss... Phew, I didn't expect that besides Koschei, there would be... "

The soldier, dressed in a black overcoat combat uniform, twisted the octopus-shaped respirator on his head in surprise, his eyes fixed on the succubus's small, pointed horns and heart-shaped tail in the distance.

Another soldier chimed in, "The descendants of Her Majesty Catherine, but... how could this be? Shouldn't they have all perished in that fire?"

"Be careful!"

The last soldier emerged from the deep shadows and said indifferently, "As members of the Imperial Guard, we should not discuss matters of the court."

"hiss......."

The first guard to speak shook his head: "It's alright. The late emperor has already made a decision on this matter: Empress Ulrich is innocent, and her bloodline is innocent as well."

"Furthermore, the late emperor left a decree before his death, stating that if any of Ulrich's descendants are alive today, they should be treated with the respect due to a grand duke, and future monarchs should grant them the title of duke and all the honors they deserve."

Another guard said urgently:

"Absurd, the late emperor was merely..."

"Insolence!" The guard, who had been calmly explaining, suddenly erupted in anger: "As an imperial guard, the emperor's sharpest blade, how dare you question the late emperor's decree?! Did ** eat your brain?!"

The impatient guards suddenly fell silent. *Ursus curses*, they couldn't accept that label; the guards loyal to the late emperor weren't all dead yet.

"Hmph, remember your place!" The commentator guard stopped there, then stared fervently at the small horn on Bai Yue's head, muttering, "This marking, there's no mistake, he is Empress Ulrich's bloodline, may the late Emperor be blessed!"

The indifferent guard exuded speechlessness. "Dude, it's been so many years since the late emperor, why are you still talking about him?"

But he didn't speak, otherwise he'd be accused of disrespecting the late emperor, which would be terrible. The old monsters in the Imperial Guard weren't all dead yet; they were all still pretty crazy. If they found out...

Tsk, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

"So what do we do now?" the impatient center-back asked. "They're clearly heading for Kosicche, but don't forget our mission."

"Then let him die!" The commentator's voice was icy: "The bloodline of Empress Ulrich is here, the edicts and decrees of the late emperor are here, and the safety of the imperial dukes is here. If he dares to act recklessly, kill him on the spot."

"Huh?" The impatient guard was stunned, unusually flustered: "But our mission this time is to ensure the successful impact of this core city against the Dragon Gate, what are you doing...?"

The commentator, an impatient guard, interrupted: "As an inner guard, besides the emperor, what tasks are you required to perform?"

"This..." The impatient guard was speechless, the octopus mask only making a hissing sound.

The indifferent guard spoke up: "The late emperor's decree is beyond question; Ulrich's bloodline must be preserved. However, the core city's attack on the Dragon Gate is also a crucial part of the empire's strategy. If it fails, the consequences are unpredictable. Neither should be abandoned."

The commentator nodded: "I will warn Kosich and protect Ulrich's bloodline. As for Lungmen, I have no time to deal with it right now. You must cooperate with me."

The impatient guard was enraged by his arrogance: "You dare to disregard the interests of Ursus just for a vague illusion!"

The commentator's bodyguard instantly drew his sword, the tip pointing directly at his throat, and said coldly, "What do you know? The late emperor's will is where Ursus's interests lie. If you dare to say another word, you can hope that the fragments of ** inside your body will save your life."

"..." The impatient guard fell silent.

He wasn't afraid; the inner guards didn't experience fear, they only instilled fear in others.

Even so, they would weigh the pros and cons. Fighting each other would be a waste of internal resources, and not only would they fail to complete the mission, but the empire might also lose one or two guards. Such behavior was not advisable.

The indifferent guard spoke again: "In that case, you go. The interests of the empire cannot be harmed. We will go to ensure the smooth progress of this plan."

"Let's go then." The impatient guard said, then left without looking back. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the demonic fragments inside him would explode from anger.

Damn it, how can you possibly manage Ursus if you're working with these bugs? You know you don't have the ability!

Chapter 92 All Directions Approach

Top of the command tower.

?

Talulah, the Black Serpent, looked at the guard in front of her with a puzzled expression and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again?"

The commentator, an inside guard, hissed and repeated in a cold voice: "Kosich, you are not allowed to harm the descendants of Ulrich, otherwise there will be no place for you in Ursus, and we inside guards will dismember you into dust."

Talulah's eyes suddenly darkened, but she still smiled elegantly: "Oh, Ulrich, what a familiar name. So there are still descendants of that person in the world?"

The commentator, Neiwei, raised his head and said, "At this moment, right here."

Talulah, the Black Serpent, scoffed inwardly, but she knew that this inner guard was teetering on the edge of madness. Provoking him now would not be a good thing, and the plan might go awry.

"Heh... Of course, I remember the late emperor's decree, no need for your reminder."

The commentator turned away, leaving only his lingering words: "It had better be this way, otherwise, you'll taste what it's like to be an enemy of Ursus."

Talulah, the Black Serpent, smirked and finally chuckled after the guards left. "Heh, after all these years, I've actually become an enemy of Ursus because of a descendant of a demon."

She became increasingly certain of her beliefs.

Ursus has fallen to the deepest depths.

Our great motherland needs war to restore its former glory.

She will use this incident to teach this ignorant guard what real war is. When the flames of war spread across the land, it will be the day Ursus rises from the ashes.

......

Behind the 'Reunion Movement' defense line.

A captain of the Shield Guard, gazing at the distant flames of war, looked up at Bozokastie and said, "Captain, are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Bozokast nodded and said hoarsely, "Look carefully."

The captain of the Shield Guard was puzzled. It was just an ordinary battle, what was so interesting about it? However, out of long-standing trust, he still observed carefully. What he saw astonished him:

"This is... the Ursus army's tactics. They are, Captain, these guys are from the Ursus Army Group. They've infiltrated our ranks!"

His voice was almost incoherent.

Bozokasti was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and ordered, "Don't get involved. Protect the citizens. If you encounter Yelena, help her."

"Yes, sir!" The captain of the shield guard accepted the order, and without asking any questions, he began to gather his teammates and set off.

As Bozokasti watched them depart, he turned his gaze to the core tower, gripped his halberd tightly, and walked step by step, his aura surging fiercely in the process.

Black snake, I've come to kill you.

Tallulah...

......

"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy!"

The Ursus soldiers, dressed in Reunion uniforms, skillfully formed ranks and brandished their blades and crossbow bolts at the charging Sarkaz warriors.

The leader-like figure also ordered the Sarkaz warriors on his side to join him in fighting their comrades.

The captain of the Sarkaz mercenary squad took a closer look and noticed the obvious coded signal from the other side. He immediately agreed and then presented conditions to the 'Reunion Movement' soldier, who exuded the air of a military lord.

After receiving the promise, he patted his chest and declared, "Who do you think we Sarkaz are? We'll follow whoever feeds us!"

Then...

When Vishdel dropped a special bomb into the sky, it created a beautiful cloud of smoke.

The Sarkaz squad immediately turned against them, drowning the idiot army officer in mud before skillfully constructing cover to protect their squad members and quietly waiting for W's bomb show to end.
