The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

He knew about the Duke of Ursus.

Rather, as a member of the Linguang family, it would be a dereliction of duty not to know about the Duke of Cosiche.

His father, the patriarch of the Linguang family, once took him and his brother to visit the family library.

Among them, one painting left a particularly deep impression on him.

That's a scepter.

"Boys, our war with Ursus is not over yet."

"Perhaps, when you grow up and travel like every young man from the Linguang family, our war with Ursus will still not end."

"..."

"I'm just giving you a piece of advice from my father."

"If you see someone holding this scepter..."

"Change your sights immediately and retreat."

“Don’t look the other person in the eye, don’t listen to the other person’s words, don’t analyze the other person’s behavior.”

"Don't attack first unless necessary."

"That will only ruin your lives in vain... and make you die without honor."

The knight in heavy armor sighed heavily when he said this.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Ursus is worthy of being a top military power.

Even if the other party only invests part of its troops in this war, it has already made it difficult for Casimir to deal with it.

It is impossible to imagine what Casimir can do to stop this war weapon when Ursus solves Sami, the Eastern Kingdom, and prepares for the threat posed by the Yan Kingdom's attack.

not to mention……

He couldn't help but recall the envoys sent by Ursus.

It was a handsome Phidian man holding a scepter.

The scepter in his hand has shown his identity.

The god of Ursus - the immortal black snake.

……

"Sign this treaty and you will save more people."

"How long can you resist? Once we Ursus regroups our troops, your Silver Spear Pegasus, which Casimir is so proud of, will not be able to turn the tide of the battle."

"We Ursus just hope that you can contribute to this land."

"Usus has sacrificed too much for all the creatures on this land."

"Don't you think you Casimir people should also contribute?"

"For example, take the initiative to cede land and resources, and contribute your heart to Ursus' great cause of resisting evil spirits..."

Chapter 1: Arthur: Maena, you don’t want to call me boss!

"...Your Excellency, if Ursus is a country with the world in mind, what about Sami?"

"..."

"Not to mention the ancient great flame, Sami was the main force responsible for the evil spirits at that time... and your Ursus army plundered a large amount of Sami's land, so you had to suffer the consequences, but now you want to let him We Casimir bear it?”

"..."

"What face do you have, and what qualifications do you have to shamelessly talk about Emperor Ursus's insatiable appetite in such a high-sounding way?"

"...But what can you do? With the Silver Spear Pegasus that you Casimir relies on?"

"..."

"Give up resistance. Ursus has always been a very tolerant country. The ogres and Wendigos who escaped from Kazdare can be accommodated by the empire, and so can you Kuranta."

"Then what? You want me to abandon my own people, forget my sacrificed comrades, betray the country I am loyal to... in an attempt to satisfy Ursus's unsatisfied appetite?"

"...In fact, Ursus is almost full now~"

"Then what? When Ursus is hungry again, will I give up Casimir's meat to feed you?"

"..."

"You old man, don't look down on Casimir's knights!"

……

"Maena, the boss calls you..."

After hearing the summons from her colleagues, Maena, who had already packed her things and planned to go home to teach her careless niece a lesson, could only respond helplessly:

"Okay... coming right away."

Maena put down the work she was going to take home and walked helplessly to her boss's office.

Although I don’t know what the new boss is like...

There is no way, even though the Linguang family has long since declined, it still has a certain weight in the minds of many people.

So it's normal to be concerned about Ma Enna.

What's more, not everyone is reassured by Ma Enna, who seems to have lost all his strength at this time.

The once unknown ranger was, after all, a thorn in the side of some business federations and Casimir nobles.

It's just that few people know it.

After all, who would associate this uncle who looks like a social beast who has been severely beaten by life with the powerful unknown ranger who once traveled around Casimir doing chivalry?

……

Standing at the door of the office, Maena paused, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door softly.

'I hope this new boss isn't here to cause trouble for me. '

"Please come in."

A slightly hoarse male voice came from inside the door.

After getting permission from the owner of the house, Maena opened the door.

But when he saw the blond Phedian man sitting on the desk, he couldn't help but reach out his right hand to the one-handed sword at his waist. His whole body tensed and he squatted down and entered a state of alert.

His pupils were mixed with fear and anger as he looked at the 'knight' who had his legs on the table, a smile showing neat white teeth and wearing light armor.

"..."

Maena's sword began to glow faintly with golden light.

"Xenomi, now is your vacation time...don't do anything."

Arthur just shouted slightly to stop Li who was hiding in the dark and attempted to attack Maena.

He didn't want to rescue Li from Ma Enna again.

There is no doubt about Maena's strength.

Even though he has stayed in this small company for so many years... he has never slacked off in his swordsmanship.

Otherwise, why would he always wear his one-handed sword?

An unsheathed sword is not necessarily rusty.

It's more likely that they are just hiding their capabilities and biding their time.

At least according to Black Snake's judgment, the other party is definitely not someone who can be easily manipulated by Arthur.

But he also had no threat to the black snake.

"Is this how you talk to your boss? Maena Linguang."

Arthur laughed.

He didn't even activate his Origin Stone skills, he just crossed his legs lazily and his smile looked so mocking.

"Do you really dare to take action? Take action against me, the Duke of Ursus? Let Arthur Pendragon, one of the incarnations of Cosiche, die in Casimir? Instigate the current peace between Casimir and Ursus relation?"

"...What do you want to do, Duke of Ursus?"

Maena's hand did not drop from the sword.

He holds the sword not only to threaten Arthur, but also to protect himself.

What can you do by killing Arthur?There are endless black snakes to kill.

"Maena, I'm very sad... you don't even want to call me boss to show respect!"

Arthur's iron-clad right hand covered his eyes, as if wiping away tears.

But his exaggerated smile never changed.

He reached out with his left hand to the shadow under the desk that was not illuminated by the light.

The shadow was like water, ripples appeared when Arthur put his left hand deep...

"Sorry, there are too many clutter, let me look for it slowly..."

Tens of seconds later, Arthur took out a document.

He gently threw the document in front of Maena.

"..."

The light emitted by Maena's sword became brighter.

There was no doubt that Arthur was deliberately provoking Maena's anger to make him bend down and pick up the document.

And Ma Enna was undoubtedly angered by Arthur's provocative behavior.

But he didn't draw his sword after all.

He was on guard, but he did bend down and pick up the document on the ground.

Since his brother disappeared, he seems to have gradually learned how to come to terms with reality.

"Maena, I am really disappointed to see you now... I still remember that at the meeting, your father dared to firmly refute the conditions I proposed in such a disadvantageous situation, and even criticized Wu Sasse’s greed. Does the current Linguang family rely entirely on women to support it?”

Arthur scoffed.

Black Snake concluded that the man in front of him would not take action against him.

Ursus is now increasing its troops at the border of Casimir, mainly to put pressure on Casimir and prevent them from taking action against Arthur Pendragon, one of the incarnations of Duke Ursus.

After all, there are simply too many people who want Arthur to disappear.

If Arthur Pendragon's identity had not been exposed, there would be no need for the Ursus military to send more troops to the Casimir border during this period.

Although the emperor and the chancellor have reorganized the power group in Ursus, they are not as eager for war as the late emperor.They would rather recuperate.

But Ursus' dignity cannot be trampled upon by others!

Many people now know Arthur's true identity and that he is one of the incarnations of the Eternal Duke of Ursus.

Even though it was unreasonable, Ursus's envoy also informed Casimir's senior officials.

"If Arthur Pendragon is treated unfairly in Casimir... even his life is threatened."

"Then you will pay a heavy price!"

Such was the arrogance of Ursus.

The confidence of being a top military power.

and the extraordinary status of the black snake in the hearts of the Ursus people.

Chapter 151 Peak brings hypocritical support

"No...impossible!"

"Is there any possibility, Mr. Maena... I acquired this company through quite legal procedures. You see, the person in charge above has my name clearly written on it - Arthur Pandra tribute."

"Has Casimir become so corrupt..."
