Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

In the cold winter of December, the north wind roars across the land wrapped in snowflakes. The sudden drop in temperature is like a natural disaster, taking away the lives that are struggling to survive in this miserable land.

A group of soldiers were galloping in the howling cold wind.

The leader, riding a huge horse that was several heads taller than an ordinary person, walked at the front of the team despite the cold wind.

As Sakaz, he has distinctive black shoulder-length hair and a pair of pupils that match the color of his hair - this reveals his identity as a Saka with both Kazdaele and Great Yan blood. This is the people.

At this moment, he was using his horse to block the strong wind at the front, and looking back at the soldiers behind him from time to time.

"Sir, the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier... If we keep marching in such a hurry, we won't be able to reach Vigrad on time. Do you want the soldiers to camp on the spot?"

The sound coming from behind made the Sakaz man frown slightly and look up at the sky.

The night opened his arms and covered the sky. The cold wind and snow hit his face, which hurt. ——Moving forward against the wind is indeed the second step in office work

"Okay, Craner - let's all camp where we are."

After a moment of silence, the Sakaz man still gave instructions to his deputy. How could he not know that the soldiers behind him were exhausted to the extreme? They were just camping in the wild, or on such a flat ground with no danger to defend. Not in line with his use of troops

"……Thank you, Sir Regulus."

Sakaz, named Kranner, breathed a sigh of relief.

He could somewhat guess at his commander's concerns. But helplessly, the soldiers behind him were already on the verge of collapse.

The previous fiasco made him The legion has been reduced by a third. Even the commander, the Earl of Saxony, died in the rebellion. The entire third legion was almost annihilated under the walls of West Falun. Now the military morale is still intact, It's all because of the legendary figure in Sarkaz before him.

Regulus Harvey, the legendary commander of the most mysterious and powerful Fourth Legion. As the captain of the royal guard of Kazdaele, he He has no title, but is deeply trusted by Princess Theresia.

It can be said that in every battle since the outbreak of the civil war, as long as he commands, as long as the Fourth Army participates in the battle, it will be invincible and invincible, at the minimum cost. , and won the greatest victory.

Because of this, even if he came alone to take command temporarily, the remaining 6,000 remnants of the army had great trust in him and firmly believed that he could lead this army to survive and return to Kaz. Dell's royal court.

In the temperature where water turned to ice, even the strong Sakaz soldiers could not withstand the bone-piercing cold and lit fires one after another. Levi only frowned slightly, but didn't say much. , just got off the horse, and then sat on the ground.

Strangely, Feng Xue seemed to know how to avoid him. Although there were no sparks around him, not even one of the snowflakes in the sky fell on his shoulders.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir."

Cranna, who had arranged the camp, came to Levi and lowered his head:"It's just... everyone's physical strength and the morale of the army are extremely low now. There is really nothing we can do.——"

"Do not blame you."

Levi interrupted Clanna, shook his head and motioned for him to sit down next to him:"This snowstorm came suddenly, and because we were traveling against the wind, our progress became less efficient and our physical strength dropped too quickly. This is normal, so how can I blame you?"

Levi's words were light, but his tone and attitude were sincere and he didn't mean to take offense, which also made Krana feel relieved.

"Sir...what should we do next?"

After a slight hesitation, Clanna asked:"Will the Third Army... still... exist?"

In this disastrous defeat, the Third Army lost its commander. In this case, as usual, the Army will be disbanded on the spot and incorporated into other legions on standby, or the name and commander will be changed to regroup.

Crane Na also knew that this matter was not something that the Sakaz man in front of him could decide: but if the man in front of him was willing to help, then the future of the legion would be much better.

"I don't know - my goal is simply to bring you safely back to the Court of Kazdare... starting with Vigrad."

Of course Levi understands what the adjutant in front of him means, but he has no intention of interfering.

He has already taken control of the Fourth Army, and the Third Army still has two-thirds of its strength. If he shows any intention of getting involved, he will Questioned from many aspects.

Especially... the suspicion from that man

"……I understand, thank you for coming to help us at this time."

Cranna was somewhat disappointed, but he also understood that the man in front of him actually had no obligation to help his legion.

"You're welcome, go and rest early, we have to march in a hurry tomorrow to replenish your strength"

"OK"

Cranna nodded, stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly turned back:"——Don't you rest?"

Levi smiled and took out a curved wine bottle from his pocket. After opening the lid with his finger, he raised his head and took a sip.

"I?...I don't need to rest - remember to arrange a night watch at midnight, we are not out of the danger zone yet"

"Subordinates know……！"

Just when Kranner breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave Levi's side, a shrill voice shouted in the military camp that was about to fall into silence.

"The enemy... the enemy is attacking!!"
