Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

The northernmost border crossing of Kazdel borders the Ursus Empire. Due to the frequent commercial activities, dozens of land ships pass through here every day.

This was the busiest gateway, also the most heavily garrisoned and most heavily fortified. Nearly one-third of the nation's high-speed warships were concentrated in Kazdel's northern defense zone, and aerospace warships regularly patrolled the vast border, all to keep a wary eye on their northern neighbors.

Ursus, known as the war machine that dominated the northern lands, once waged countless wars. By fighting to support war, it gradually established its position as a military power.

It wasn't until the defeat of the Tenth War in Eastern Ukraine, the sudden death of the late Emperor Vladimir, and his son Fyodor's accession to the throne that this blood-stained war machine finally came to a halt, at the fork in the road of a new era.

As Ursus's new neighbor, Kazdel has been the focus of attention since the announcement of the end of the war, but it is just attention.

It was not until the emergence of that epoch-making aerospace battleship that the Ursus leadership felt a real sense of crisis and began to vigorously research targeted air defense weapons, deploying them in border cities bordering Kazdel.

Even if the two sides have reached a close and friendly cooperative relationship on matters concerning infected people, no one can say for sure whether the relationship between the two countries will quickly deteriorate due to some unexpected incident.

Recently, rumors have spread among merchants and travelers entering and leaving the country that important energy equipment has been lost in the Ursus border city of Chernobyl.

Mayor Boris, the city manager, ordered the city to be blocked, mobilized a large number of people to search for the thief, and issued a high reward order to look for clues everywhere, but still found nothing.

"Your entry application has been approved. Welcome to Kazdel." At the window of the entry and exit checkpoint, the staff suppressed their curious gazes and stamped the corresponding positions on the application documents one by one.

"Thank you..." A figure as tall as a city wall bent down and extended a broad hand to take the two documents. His voice was low and hoarse, like an old car engine running at low speed.

"Is there such a tall race among the Sarkaz? Why have we never encountered one before?" The confused staff member took out the Terra race encyclopedia from the drawer, and found the Wendigo, one of the former Ten Royal Courts, in the Sarkaz category, which had only text descriptions but no picture references.

"Yelena, let's go..." The Patriot waved to Yelena who was standing in front of the bulletin board, and two figures, one tall and one short, left the service hall side by side.

"This is Kazdel, the old stubborn man's hometown." Yelena stood on the deck of the moving Rhodes Island, leaning against the railing and gazing at this unfamiliar land. The Patriot stood behind her, silently gazing at the land.

The strange building standing in the wasteland attracted her attention. The silver ring stood on a square base, surrounded by a tall wall, and a wide and flat road connected to the pass.

"Old stubborn man, look quickly, what is that?" Yelena pointed at the building and said excitedly.

"Hmm... maybe some kind of witchcraft altar, wait..." Patriot activated his vision spell, his crimson eyes scanning the location of the circular structure. Even he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread at the immense magical energy.

Just as the Patriot was withdrawing his vision, the old lich who was working keenly sensed the direction of the investigation and appeared on the deck in an instant.
