Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"I thought you would refuse directly or even make me fall out."

The old general looked at the black-haired Sakaz next to him. From just now, the commander of the Fourth Army had been a little absent-minded and seemed to be thinking about something.

"If we fall out there, it will be difficult for us to escape."

As if he heard the old general's words, Levi raised his head and glanced at the other party, then shook his head slightly:"Do you think Tracy would propose without being prepared? It would be better if Bodrokasti was still with you. In this situation - the best outcome is that you die in battle, I run away, and then I am classified as a rebel and completely eliminated."

"Is it that serious? Andres gasped:"Isn't he afraid that the Fourth and Seventh Army will counterattack and start civil strife?""

"The purpose of setting up a military committee without telling us is already obvious. Levi sneered:"I dare say, except for the two of us... maybe that Kranner knows about it." By pointing this matter out at the military meeting, he is actually forcing us to recognize his power. The next step is probably to directly establish a military government to fight against His Highness."

"……He dares! Do you really think that the Seventh Legion is a vegetarian for such wanton and reckless behavior?!"

Although the old general is old, his power is still there. When he was angry, his murderous intent suddenly chilled the surrounding air:"If he dares to act rashly, the blade of our Seventh Army will be the first to be placed on him. on the neck!"

"…………"

Levi rarely spoke. He just sighed slightly and patted the old general on the shoulder, asking the latter to focus on him.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad... at least not yet."

Looking into the eyes of the Sakaz general next to him, Levi shook his head and analyzed:"Trasis has ambitions and resources, but there is not enough time - the war in the north can be decided by the end of the year at the latest, and by then His Highness He will definitely gain support and inherit the throne. He has only time to act before then, so he has to delay the war in the north and slow down the advance of the army."

"That being said, the same thing happened with Cephalon……"

"right. Levi nodded:"The commander of the Third Army was ambitious, but now he has become a good puppet." Craner only saw the hope of taking charge of the legion, but could not see the danger after that... Fortunately, the Sixth Legion did not completely fall to Tracys. The young man wanted to find a good position for himself, so I have only temporarily attached myself to him. If I find that my desire for power cannot be satisfied, the word loyalty will become a joke."

"That's why you asked that question at that time……"Only then did the old general understand the purpose of Levi's abnormal behavior.

This is a conspiracy, but Tracys must accept it.

If a general with great military exploits and constant victory cannot hold a high position, it may be enough to make those who gather around Tracy, who are not as good as Levi, feel in danger.

"But it wasn't enough... Traces must have a way to appease him."

Levi made a gesture:"At most, I am just delaying time, rather than completely solving the problem."

The old general became anxious when he heard this.

"In this case, then……"

Naturally, he wanted to say that he had agreed to Tracy's reorganization of the military committee, but what would happen to the army in hand?

Without military power, there is nothing.

"——General Andres, if I get orders from Tresis, dismiss you on the spot and take back the military power of the Seventh Army, how much will I get now?"

Levi's sudden words made the old general stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head:"With Levi's current military exploits, it is possible for you to switch to any legion.——"

"But the Seventh Army... I am not boasting, old man. If you dismiss me now, I'm afraid you won't be able to mobilize even half of your troops."

Levi smiled.

"That's right - it would be the same if it were my Fourth Legion."

Andres Craig's eyes widened.

He suddenly figured out why Levi agreed so simply and why he didn't seem so worried now. The old general finally smiled, heartily..

He knew that one day with this young man around, Tracys would still not be able to achieve anything.

But what he didn't see was that when Levi turned his back, gloom almost filled his entire face.

————Dividing line————

"——You're back."

The girl with blond hair had just taken off the hood covering her face when she saw a figure in green work clothes walking into the office with a strong sense of exhaustion.

"Um……"

Kelsey just exhaled a breath from her nose instead of saying hello, then flopped down on the chair, then lay on the table, burying her face between her arms.

"You look tired."

Hearing what the blonde girl said, Kelsey raised her head from her arms and looked at her

"Kazdaele's situation is getting worse and worse. One year... one year at most, the ambitious man will definitely raise a flag against Theresia, but now Theresia does not have enough money in her hands. energy"

"……Bad form?"

"The news I got this morning is that Tresis has begun to form a military committee, which is basically the predecessor of the military government.……"Kelsey sighed slightly:"We don't have much time left.……"

"However, although Rhode Island can now set sail, it still lacks a large amount of materials and manpower to support a long-lasting voyage. The girl frowned slightly:"Lucille has estimated the situation. Even under the most ideal situation, we will not be able to leave Kazdaele."……"

"Your Highness will find a way to solve the material problem, but the current problem is far beyond what manpower and materials can solve.……"

Kelsey looked at the"young" girl in front of her. She was called a doctor. She was a wizard who specialized in various fields. She wanted to know how she would deal with this difficult problem.

"……"

The doctor didn't speak, he just picked up a piece of information in front of him, and then looked at the photo on the file with burning eyes, as if he was looking at an extremely excellent chess piece.

After a long time, the blond"young" girl withdrew her gaze, sighed, and said softly in a sleepy voice:

"Regulus Harvey…………"
