Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel
Chapter 114: The Expedition is Underway (3)
Winter of 1092. Several land ships had just passed through the vast wilderness between Kazdel and Rembil. They were a commercial purchasing fleet from Longmen, and the cabins of the ships were already full of minerals, and they were on their way back to Longmen.
The captain couldn't remember how many times he had come to Rem Billiton. The view outside the porthole was always the same, with a gray sky.
The landspeeder's huge alloy tracks roared as it rolled over the familiar deep ditch, pressing the newly grown vegetation at the bottom of the ditch back into the soil.
"Phew...it's so cold in this damn weather. If the captain doesn't have to take over in person, I won't want to leave here." The captain took his frozen hands out of his pockets, and while breathing on them, he rubbed them against each other to keep warm.
However, considering the huge profits this order brought him, the captain suddenly felt that the cold shoulder was worth it.
The deputy came forward to report the situation of the ship to him, and the captain paid special attention to the recent weather forecast. He found that there would be no snow in the next period of time, which was good weather for sailing, and immediately connected the ship-wide broadcast.
"Brothers, after finishing this job, you can go home for the New Year. Notify the entire ship to speed up..."
"Buzz buzz buzz..." Before the captain finished his words, the radio on the console suddenly began to vibrate, which often means that a ship is approaching, reminding nearby ships to keep a safe distance.
"Tsk, this is really not the right time. Let's pay attention to the speed. Observers keep a lookout and report the direction of the nearby fleet at all times." The captain could only pick up the radio again, cancel the acceleration command, and switch to cautious driving.
As a country rich in Originium minerals, RemBitto has large tracts of desert nearby that are dotted with fixed routes for land-based ships from various countries. It has become an unspoken understanding for the land-based ship caravans to remind each other.
In order to ensure safety, the captain of the Longmen fleet could only choose to reduce the speed to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Captain... there is a huge fleet ahead, and... there are also urban areas of a mobile city." The observer high on the deck sounded a little excited. This was the first time he had seen the migration of a mobile city with his own eyes since he started working.
"How is this possible? I didn't receive any notification?" The captain picked up the document provided by Rembilito, and there was no mention of any recent mobile city operations.
"Did you receive the identification code?" the captain asked his deputy.
"We only received the identification code for the landship, which is Victoria's fleet. There is no identification code for the city, but it is probably Victoria's as well."
"What is Victoria's fleet doing here? Observer, what direction is the other fleet heading in?"
"Captain, the enemy is heading towards Kazdel."
"Damn it, is Victoria going to have a fight with Kazdel?" The captain was inexplicably excited. He wanted to return to Longmen immediately and tell his relatives and friends this explosive information.
"Everyone on board, switch to the alternate route and bypass the fleet ahead." The captain knew that if he had to wait for the other side to pass before continuing to move forward, it would be better to bypass them directly.
The fleet slowly changed direction and continued to move towards Longmen's location, dragging black smoke.

Kazdel City Rhodes Island Anchorage
The operators in the engineering department are making the final preparations before departure. Rhodes Island is about to set sail again. They all know what kind of battle this ship will face, and all they can do for this ship is to adjust its condition to the best possible.
"The power layer inspection is complete, the Originium engine is running stably..."
"The middle level inspection is complete, there is nothing wrong with the computer room..."
"The upper deck inspection is complete, the gun maintenance is complete..."
Following the reports from the operators of various engineering departments, Klushil kept ticking the boxes on the landship departure checklist until the last item was completed. Then Klushil pressed the signal to close the berth.
"Woo!!!" Steam gushed out of the pipes, and the huge gears turned, driving the heavy metal deck to retract, and the connection between Rhodes Island and Kazdale City was severed.
The sleeping behemoth of Rhodes Island began to wake up. The eight turbine engines on the power layer, supplied by the energy of the high-energy stone boiler, emitted a deafening roar, followed by violent vibrations of the deck.
The staff here need to wear special noise-canceling headphones to resist the invasion of noise.
There was a huge crowd of people standing on the edge of the city, seeing off the ship.
Most of them were staff members who had previously lived on Rhodes Island. Seeing their former home drifting away from them, they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
Mudstone and Mary also came here, with Mudstone holding a small clay figurine gift that she had carefully prepared for Roy. Unfortunately, by the time she had prepared the gift, Roy had already left Kazdel City with Rhodes Island.
Mudstone was a little disappointed that he couldn't give the gift to Roy in person, but he could only wait for Roy to return before giving it to him.
Manfred put his hands in his pockets and leaned against a secluded corner. He had taken off the mask covering his face, revealing the dark bruises at the corners of his eyes.
At this moment, there was a slight wave in the air, and Ascalon emerged from the smoke.
Manfred immediately pulled his hands away, took a defensive stance, and stared closely at Askalon's movements.
Ascalon took out a glass bottle filled with brown liquid from his jacket pocket and threw it to Manfred.
"This is the medicinal wine I bought on the roadside. The boss said it can treat injuries from falls. The Sarkaz named Hedley you're interested in is pretty good and has brains.
"That Caprini named Ines has very interesting magic, and she was able to find me. They are all qualified to participate in this operation. I was impulsive before." After saying this, Ascalon disappeared into the air again, leaving Manfred with a helpless look on his face.
"Alas... Senior Sister did confirm it in her own way. I hope she will be more reserved this time and not take it too seriously." Manfred sighed. The scar on his face was because he revealed the details of the operation to Hedley who was not on the list of this operation. When Ascalon found out, he gave him a severe lesson.
Now that Ascalon has confirmed the strength of Hedley and Inès, it seems that they must have fought. I hope she didn't make too much trouble this time.
At this time, in W's personal dormitory, Hedley and Inès were helping to fix W's dormitory door that was blown up. This was the door that was broken when W detonated a bomb in an attempt to trap the mysterious Sarkaz assassin and achieve a three-way attack.
The opponent's magic was very powerful and almost fooled Ines's perception. Fortunately, Ines discovered it and avoided being attacked by the opponent.
Hedley could see that the Sarkaz assassin had no ill intentions, otherwise he, Ines, and W would have died long ago, without any chance to fight back.
The other party came to test her, but I don’t know who she is obeying and what her purpose is?
