I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

There were no instructions or orders. It was a completely spontaneous action. All the soldiers and civilians who could move in Duolun County were working to collect the bodies.

Some people dug graves, some people searched for bodies, and some were responsible for carrying them... After several hours, until the sky was dawn, the bodies of the brave people began to be properly buried.

After Horn buried the last body and used the relatively intact stone as their tombstone, she took a breath and slowly raised her head, only to face a figure in the distance.

...He was an Ursus man. No, to be more precise, he was an Ursus officer. Judging from his military uniform, this man must have a high status.

On the streets of County Dolan, the Viscount of the Ursus Third Army and Commander Horn of Victoria, who had been holding the last position for some time, met each other for the first time in such a normal way.

However, none of them picked up weapons. The Viscount of Ursus just silently carried the body of an Ursus soldier he had found on his back, and stared indifferently at the horn that was looking at him.

They all knew what they were doing, and they also knew that the day of cessation of war was over, but none of them had the intention to continue fighting.

The war may not be over, but for anyone who has awakened his humanity, there is no point in continuing to fight - the Viscount thinks so too.

He knew that if he forced a war, it would only cause a mutiny in the army at this time. The only thing he could do now to defend his dignity as a commander was to do the same thing as the soldiers and let them continue to trust him, not General Nivelle in "Brave Heart".

And...the Viscount himself no longer wants to fight. Now, he wants to return home from the front line to be with his family.

Just like that, a Viscount Ursus and a Commander Victoria did not say a word after meeting by chance, nor did they choose to kill each other, but just left each other silently.

At this point, there were no more noises that broke the peace on the two fronts for several days.

Chapter 112: Armistice Agreement, Victoria's invitation to Chen Qi?

"For seven consecutive days, the Ursus Third Army has not launched any substantial attacks on the remaining areas of Doron County since the end of the war. The commander of the Third Army, Viscount Dunkel, has been accused of being passive in the fight and will be replaced by Grand Duke Baikal."

"The Ursus Third Army protested against the replacement of Viscount Dunkel, saying they did not want the Viscount to be replaced."

"Brave Heart was screened in Casimir, Leitania, Victoria and other countries. People in many countries organized anti-war demonstrations. Ursus sent out pickets to violently suppress them. The twin queens of Leitania publicly announced their willingness to accept a peace agreement."

A week has passed since Chen Qi and others released "Brave Heart". However, during this period, according to Kal'tsit's instructions, Rhodes Island's expatriate operators in various countries on this land have sent newspapers from various countries to Rhodes Island through their own channels.

Judging from today's newspapers, the response to "Brave Heart" is undoubtedly extremely intense. This anti-war film can even be said to have aroused an unprecedented anti-war wave and deeply touched the hearts of everyone who yearned for peace during the war.

"...If it were peacetime, such an excellent movie alone would not be enough to cause such a huge turmoil." Kal'tsit couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the news reported in the newspaper:

“It would have been impossible to achieve such a response even when the war had just broken out, especially when Darkest Hour was first released. Whether it was Victoria, Ursus, or Leitania… the gears of war would not stop at the beginning of the war, but would only intensify.”

"Only at this time... when the war has broken out and has continued to a stalemate, and both sides have to use all means of war to win, and it has lasted for a period of time, will people realize how precious peace is."

“Only when people who are tired of peace have seen the real hell will they know that their past lives were the real heaven. However, how can the gate of hell be opened and then closed at will?”

Kal'tsit couldn't help but sigh and slowly put the newspaper aside. This time when she looked at Chen Qi in front of her, she couldn't help but smile and said:

"I should thank you, Director Chen Qi. You can say that you have closed most of the gates of hell with your own strength..."

"If the door was opened indirectly because of me, then it would be reasonable for me to close it myself."

However, Chen Qi now looks much more relaxed. Beside Chen Qi, Vina, Tallulah, Mainna and Nian are all discussing the next changes to Victoria. Judging from the much more relaxed atmosphere now, the current situation can be said to be completely under control.

Although the war did not end because of this movie, the statements made by Leitania's twin queens now clearly indicate that Leitania is not far from withdrawing from the war.

After all... the combat effectiveness of the Leitanian army, whether it was against Gaul in the past or against Victoria now, the combat effectiveness of the Leitanian army has always been unsatisfactory. Although it has the "Golden Law Guards" and the Warlock Corps, it is obvious that due to the long-term problem of taking "drinks" within the army, the combat effectiveness of the army has become quite unsatisfactory.

It can be said that the strongest person in Leitania was once a one-man army who tore apart the Witch King of the Gallic Guards by himself; but now, the only ones in Leitania who can change the situation of the war are the Twin Queens.

And there was no way the Twin Queens could leave. On the one hand, it was rumored that the "Black-haired Queen" was now in trouble because her voice sometimes made it impossible for her to sing. However, for the Leitanians, music was a manifestation of their Originium skills. Therefore, without music, the Leitanians' spellcasting would be reduced by more than just one level.

On the other hand... the demise of the twin queens really means that Leitania is going to use all its national strength to conquer Victoria, but Victoria is still bigger than a horse. If the fight really goes to the end, it is not known whether Victoria will be destroyed, but Leitania will definitely suffer a heavy blow.

If one of the twin queens is not careful, one of them may die on the battlefield. What if the remnants of the Witch King of Leithnia take advantage of this opportunity to rebel? Therefore, in summary, Leithnia, which has been unable to conquer for a long time and whose army's morale has been repeatedly frustrated, seems to have withdrawn its troops and promoted peace negotiations as the best option.

As for Ursus, they have lost their last ally, and it is impossible for them to capture Victoria on their own. Even if they really take it down, they will fall into the same situation as Leithania, and it will be a problem whether they can defend the northern border at that time.

It can be said that the current situation is that except for Casimir, who achieved corresponding results at the lowest cost at the beginning of the full-scale outbreak of the war, Ursus and Lethania, the two countries that took advantage of the fire, failed to get any meat. They were beaten all over and only got a mouthful of fur.

"Should I say, congratulations, Director Chen Qi?" Kal'tsit smiled at Chen Qi, but her eyes were filled with deep fear as she spoke:

"You have now used two films to prove that you can change the existence of this world on your own."

"From now on, the supreme leaders of any country or force will be frightened and their faces will change drastically when talking about your arrival. Now all of Terra will be convinced that if your work has a purpose, it will inevitably cause unrest on this land."

"——Then, if it is to prevent us from being bullied by other countries or forces from now on, I will take this as a compliment."

Chen Qi was also slightly stunned. He felt that Kal'tsit seemed a little wary of him... But when Chen Qi thought about it, he could understand why Kal'tsit was so wary.

After all, in her and the eyes of the top leaders of other countries, she is now a person who can truly shake the earth with her talent. And a person who can turn the world upside down with a single thought is indeed worthy of the fear of a "Guardian of the Earth" like Kal'tsit.

After all, isn't it the same in Yan Country? They are all worried that Chen Qi will abuse his talents and cause trouble everywhere, but in fact Chen Qi just wants to gain more reputation until one day he can be strong enough to protect everyone he cares about...

Although his reputation value is already a lot, "Darkest Hour" and "Brave Heart" have made Chen Qi's reputation value reach an astonishing 700,000. As a hamster party member, Chen Qi has not cashed in unless there is a demand. It can be said that he is ready to stack the reputation value to increase combat power at any time.

[If all of the host's reputation is used to improve combat power, plus the host's current physique, after calculation, the host's strength can roughly reach half of the strength of 'years old'. ]

"That's not enough... The people of Dayan broke 'Sui' into twelve pieces, killing gods openly. Although I have no need to threaten Yan, what if I suddenly become too strong and become a threat that all countries have to eliminate?"

Chen Qi is still very rational. Now the crew can still do whatever they want on the Terra continent and come and go freely. In addition to the support of the Sarkaz and Sakota, as well as Chen Qi's "pen", the most important problem is that the combat effectiveness of the art troupe has always been controlled at a threat level of "can be fought for" rather than "must be eliminated".

The attitude of various countries towards Chen Qi and the art troupe is that they do not want to provoke them and try to show goodwill as much as possible, because the art troupe has not yet posed a huge threat to them. However, there is no need to fight them head-on because it would hurt them.

And if Chen Qi's combat power is too high, but not that high... Have you seen Kazdel being destroyed three times? That was Chen Qi's fate.

"Hehe, it's okay. My little sister and I are on the side of Director Chen Qi now. No country on this continent will threaten you in the future!"

Nian did not seem to understand Kal'tsit's deeper meaning, but was full of confidence and planned to follow Chen Qi from then on and travel all over Terra - she did not have any other ideas, she was just afraid of loneliness, but Nian felt that if she followed Chen Qi, she would definitely not be lonely in the future.

Maybe in the future I can even slap Yan Guo twice... Of course, Nian can only think about this kind of thing in her heart. She won't have any excessive expectations of Chen Qi like Xi.

She didn't want Chen Qi to get into trouble, and she didn't want him to be seen as a threat by the Yan Kingdom. As a "year-old", she had such a long life span, and she could only live a few hundred years in interest. She would not let Chen Qi put himself in danger.

"Then the crew can finally settle down."

Chen Qi also nodded. He turned his gaze to Tallulah beside him. After noticing that Tallulah also looked relieved, the two people who were most concerned about the current situation of the crew also tacitly interlocked their fingers to express their success.

"——Don't be careless." At this time, Ma Enna, who was reading a newspaper, suddenly said, "Although the international situation has been eased, Director Chen Qi, your threat has not been lifted."

"Ursus failed in both offensives because of your movie. They will never give up. My suggestion is that the crew should still travel to multiple countries in the future to gain as much support as possible."

"That's right, Director Chen Qi. It's hard to say that all the Dukes of Victoria support you now. You must also be careful about Victoria's situation."

This time, even Vina warned Chen Qi that she no longer expected to return to Victoria. After Victoria overcame the current difficulties, they would unite again - as long as this was the case, Vina felt that there was no need for her to risk her life and return to Victoria.

After all, she was not sure whether she was a wise ruler... Instead of bringing chaos to Victoria again, it would be better to take this opportunity to become a new self, the real Vina, rather than the Crown Princess "Alexandrina Vina Victoria".

There is nothing unhappy about being a gang leader, at least that's what Vina thinks. After experiencing "Yes, Prime Minister", "Darkest Hour" and "Brave Heart", she has also experienced several baptisms and knows very well that to govern a country, especially a country like Victoria, the ability required by the person in power must be strong enough.

She was not Frederick III who could take the lead in times of crisis, nor was she even Jim Hack who could stand stalemate with the civil servants in Parliament. She should still learn and wait until Victoria needed her in the future.

At this moment, the door of the office suddenly opened, and Amiya walked into the office. After a week of rest, Amiya seemed to have come out of the sadness of "Brave Heart" and her complexion looked much better.

"Ah, everyone is here, that's great, I just got some news."

"What news, Amiya?" Kal'tsit also asked.

"It's news about Victoria, Dr. Kelsey. I received official intelligence from Victoria, saying that Victoria will announce a ceasefire agreement with Leithania next week, as well as policy measures for Victoria's current situation."

Amiya also told the official news she had received, but the more Kal'tsit listened, the more she felt something was wrong, so she asked:

"…The relationship between Victoria and our Rhodes Island shouldn't be that close, right? There's no reason for Victoria to invite Rhodes Island to participate in the armistice ceremony, right?"

"——No, we are not invited, Dr. Kelsey."

However, Amiya looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. After waving her hand, she looked at Chen Qi standing aside and said with a smile:

"Victoria has specially sent a diplomat here, Director Chen Qi, and they are inviting you to attend the armistice agreement."

"……I?"

However, Chen Qi was also slightly stunned, but soon got a nod from Amiya and replied:

"Yes, not only that, Victoria also invited you and the crew to attend the annual 'Victoria Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards' ceremony. They have included your film in the list of candidates for the grand prize."

"We from Rhodes Island...we were only invited 'incidentally', just because you and your crew are in Rhodes Island."

For a moment, Amiya's words with a wry smile made the atmosphere in the office a little awkward, especially for Kal'tsit. She pretended to read the newspaper as if nothing had happened, but in fact she almost dug a hole and buried herself in it out of embarrassment.

Amiya herself was also embarrassed. As the leader of Rhodes Island, Amiya did not expect that Rhodes Island would rise because of Chen Qi, its "partner". I'm afraid many people in the outside world have already believed that Rhodes Island has a close relationship with Chen Qi's art troupe, and in order to please Chen Qi, they indirectly need to curry favor with Rhodes Island.

It even brought a lot of extra cash flow to Rhodes Island... When Amiya thought of this, she suddenly didn't want to let Chen Qi leave... Mr. Chen Qi, even if you just sit there and do nothing, you are still a cash cow.

Chapter 113: Invite the most lawless director in Terra to be the notary

"Mr. Zhongyue! Mr. Zhongyue!"

A week later in Yumen, after his morning exercises, Chongyue stayed in his room to cultivate himself as there was no danger threatening Yumen, until a voice came from Yumen.

"Mr. Zhongyue, a letter was sent from outside the Great Wall, saying it was from your sister."

"Oh? My sister sent it to you?"

Chongyue did not expect that his sister would send him a gift. After receiving the email from the Yan country soldier at Yumen Pass, Chongyue opened the package and soon saw some gifts inside. Most of them were specialties from various countries. Chongyue found some Casimir and Victorian style gifts.

Of course, these were all tricks. Zhongyue quickly turned his gaze to a scroll that was placed aside as if nothing had happened. After he opened it, he was almost immediately sucked into the scroll.

When Zhongyue opened his eyes, he saw that the surrounding scenery had changed into a small town in the Jiangnan water village. In front of him, Xi's figure rarely showed any intention of hiding. She just stared at him with a cold face and greeted him lightly:

"...brother."

"Sister Xi, it's been a long time." Zhongyue was in a very good mood when he saw his sister after a long time. He didn't care at all that his sister dragged him into the world of the painting without any explanation - after all, if he didn't want to come in, with Xi's ability, there was no way she could force Zhongyue in.

In fact, Zhongyue was already surprised that his sister, who was shy and often afraid of even her family members, was willing to come and see him on her own initiative.

"I heard that Sister Xi, you recently filmed a movie with Nian and a director named Chen Qi? I am very relieved to hear this news. You and Nian are the two sisters I am most worried about. Now that you have forgiven each other and found the careers you love, I am really happy."

Zhong Yue looked around, but he didn't see many figures that interested him, so he asked without hesitation: "Sister Xi, why didn't I see Director Chen Qi and Nian? If it's convenient, can I meet this benefactor too?"

"…It's too early for Big Brother to see you."

When Xi heard that Zhongyue wanted to meet Chen Qi, she felt a little embarrassed and declined, saying, "I'm afraid I'll spoil Big Brother's mood. He's not a man with big ambitions."

"If you ask me... he is actually very narrow-minded. He can only guard the little piece of land in his heart. He is afraid that when he sees the eldest brother, he will be scared and tremble with fear, and end up making a fool of himself."

“He used his pen to do what he wanted but dared not do, and shocked the government and the country. It is rare for such a talented person to have such a solid sense of rules and morals in his mind.” Chong Yue did not feel sorry for Xi’s words at all. On the contrary, he felt that Chen Qi had such great talent, but he could still abide by the rules and restrain himself, which was quite difficult.

Even most of the so-called "gods", if they had such strong talents, would have regarded all things as insignificant and placed themselves above all living beings.

“I have heard about what Director Chen Qi has done in Victoria before, and I have to admire his attainments in the art.”

"I wrote to you guys before, I wonder if you guys received it, Sister Xi?"

"I am here to answer this question." Xi nodded when he heard this, and then handed a videotape to Zhongyue. When Zhongyue saw the videotape, his attitude became more serious and he even took it with both hands.

“…Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?”

"This is a masterpiece by someone who has reached the pinnacle of art. We must respect it." After receiving the videotape, Zhongyue asked Xi curiously, "Is this a new movie? Was it filmed so quickly?"

"It was filmed in my painting... In fact, before your letter arrived, Director Chen Qi had already been filming this anti-war film, attempting to stop the war with his expertise."

"…But I didn't expect that he would actually succeed."

"Oh?" Zhongyue was also a little surprised, but Xi didn't really want to say much about it. Instead, he left it in suspense and couldn't help but smile at Zhongyue and said:

"Brother, if you want to know, why not watch this movie today and have someone send the videotape to the capital, then pay more attention to international news. Today is the day to discuss the armistice agreement between Victoria and Leitania. If I remember correctly, it is open to all of Terra."

"By then, Big Brother will meet Chen Qi and Nian. They are still waiting for me to draw them decent clothes. I believe that in the movie, Big Brother will be a little less disappointed when he sees the two of them."

"Also, this movie can be regarded as an explanation from you to the emperor. Please tell the emperor that this is our reply."

"Brother, please rest assured. Nian and I...we are not as worried as you are. We will behave ourselves a little better from now on. Don't worry, brother."

"——With Sister Xi's words, I feel relieved, big brother."

When Zhongyue heard Xi admit that he and Nian were hanging out with Chen Qi not to pave the way for rebellion, he felt relieved. Although he also felt that Xi and Nian did not have such an idea, he was somewhat worried by such a precursor.

"Brother, remember to burn the painting after you leave. Don't let Simuitai see it again, or they will accuse you of a crime they didn't intend to commit." Seeing that Zhongyue was relieved, Xi planned to leave. However, before leaving, Zhongyue asked Xi:

"By the way, Sister Xi, what's the name of this movie?"

"Brave Heart... a fairly interesting and tear-jerking movie."

Xi left behind these light words, but completely forgot her initial disdain for "Brave Heart". She could be said to be the first person who, after watching the anti-war theme of the film, immediately guessed that someone would die in the end to earn tears.

However, now, after the successful broadcast of "Brave Heart", she has never mentioned the "routine" of this movie again, because the classic routine is unchanging, and what art expresses is always to add something on the basis of this framework.

As long as the content is good, even if the routine is obvious, it can still move everyone. This is why classics will always be classics.

Zhongyue, who had exited Xi's scroll world, also woke up again in his own room in Yumen. He looked at the videotape in his hand and the scroll that had lost its function and had completely become an ordinary painting. He couldn't help but laugh and muttered to himself:

"Xi regarded each of his paintings as treasures, but now he wants me to burn them on my own initiative... This is not something Xi would say in the past."

"And they didn't let me meet Director Chen Qi, but made me watch it on TV..."

Of course, Chongyue understood Xi's little thoughts, which were nothing more than a little boasting in Xi's heart. She undoubtedly put a lot of effort into the filming of the two movies this time. In the past, she was often criticized by her brothers and sisters for her gloom and home-loving nature, and her paintings were also laughed at by many brothers and sisters. Of course, she was a little angry and a little inferior in her heart.
