Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Ursula has been feeling a little uneasy these days.

Since Manfred was seriously injured, almost all the pressure of the entire Londinium city defense fell on her. Although the Blood Demon Lord nominally took over Manfred's command, it did not actually have any effect. any effect

——The man would only take advantage of the chaos in the city to further provoke fighting, even at the cost of the soldiers themselves.

Because of this clear understanding, Ursula never had too many expectations for that adult. If all types of conflicts can be controlled within a certain range, then the situation within the city will be controllable.

Even so, the complex division of forces in the city, the coordination between soldiers and mercenaries, the close cooperation with Shenchi, and even the never-ending underground resistance forces and the Duke's troops outside the city who are always eyeing...these variables add up to one game after another. An accident with unpredictable results.

However, things are not without clues and may even turn around.

Just as Rhode Island and even the Self-Rescue Army were eyeing the sugar factory as a breakthrough point, Ursula, who had already made a plan, was slowly tightening the noose on the trap.

The Shapeshifter Lord is unwilling to directly help in battle - which is a pity. While the King of Scavengers stayed behind and the Blood Demon Lord went to the self-rescue army station, the Lord of the Royal Court, who claimed to be not good at fighting, was actually one of the rare high-end combat powers of Sarkaz at this stage.

If he had his help , even if Rhode Island and the Self-Rescue Army join forces, they will never be an opponent... Unfortunately, the other party only agreed to provide intelligence support and refused to actually participate in the battle.

But...it doesn't matter. As long as we have accurate coordinates, the moment the city defense cannon falls, it will be enough to weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness to the point where it is impossible to resist.

At that time, she will personally take action to ensure that no one can escape from the siege.

（……it's time. ) listened carefully, and the city defense artillery in the distance had stopped bombarding. In order to ensure the success of this operation, she used nearly half of the city's defense artillery to carry out intensive strikes in the area - such firepower was enough to completely wipe the sugar refinery off the map of Londinium, and even more Not to mention the flesh and blood bodies left in place.

The female Commander Sakaz seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to look at the adjutant not far away.

"……Where is Hedley and his mercenary group? No news yet?"

The adjutant, who noticed Ursula's gaze, raised his head and then shook it slightly.

"……Everything is normal at the mercenary station, but there is no news about Hedley... The tracker installed on him seems to have stopped transmitting, and it may have been damaged during the battle."

At this point, the adjutant paused and added:"……Of course, I do not rule out intentional damage."

"……snort!"

With a cold snort, Ursula's eyes flashed with a dangerous light:"I have long felt that something was wrong with that man... Sure enough, a dog is a dog, and there is no way he can change his habit of eating shit."

At this time, the adjutant also reacted:"——So, a citywide manhunt?"

"……No. We don't have the energy to bother with that man now. Ursula shook her head:"The combat effectiveness of mercenaries cannot be underestimated...and if he takes action directly, there is no guarantee that the troops under his control in the city will not mutiny immediately." The focus now is to deal with the rats that sneaked into the city and escaped before the battle... I will settle this account with the mercenary later."

"Now we must——"

Just as Ursula was about to speak, a sense of crisis flashed through her mind, as if a crisis threatening her life would break out in the next second.

And this intuition of crisis really saved her life at a critical moment.

Ursula immediately dodged and left the spot, while the adjutant beside him opened his mouth strangely. Before he could make a sound, he was shot through the neck by a bullet from a distance.

Holding his neck, he could not inhale any air through his shattered trachea. The dying adjutant took two steps back and fell to the ground with a thud. What reflected in his eyes was Ursula's frightened and angry face, as well as the continuous sound of explosions ringing in his ears.

(Enemy...enemy attack...)

(How...how is it possible...)

Sakaz's head hung weakly, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

————Dividing line————

The roar of city defense artillery resounded throughout the city.

Clovisia, who was walking at the front of the team, looked a little ugly - ever since Sakaz mastered the city defense artillery, the situation of the Self-Rescue Army has become increasingly difficult. In fact, many soldiers did not die in frontal battles on the battlefield, but because of He died without having time to escape the range of artillery fire, and no bones were left.

And the target of the artillery fire at this moment is very likely...

Thinking of this, the girl in white sighed and prayed silently in her heart:

(Fest... Lolo... and everyone in Rhode Island... Hope everyone is safe and well……）

"Don't worry, Amiya and the others will be fine."

As if she guessed what the girl was thinking, the Sakaz woman beside Clovisia smiled slightly:"Everyone will be fine. I can guarantee you this."

Obviously they were baseless words of comfort, but coming from the mouth of the hero who saved the Self-Rescue Army, it made Clovisia feel unreasonably reassured.

"But, then again... Miss Clovisia, have you ever considered the next question?"

As if he naturally followed Clovisia's reaction, but the Sakaz woman's words made the leader of the self-rescue army feel tight in his heart.

"Londinium may soon see a turn for the better... But is all this really the change that the Self-Rescue Army wants?"
