Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

"Hey, why did the Duke suddenly ask us to repair this mobile city that is about to be scrapped?" A Victoria worker wearing protective clothing slowly descended into the heart of the city covered with rust and Originium crystals with the help of a safety rope around his waist.

While complaining to his colleague, he put on his goggles, took out the necessary tools from the tool bag behind him, and began to repair the Originium engine in front of him that had long been extinguished.

If it had been according to the original plan, this abandoned mobile city that had lasted from the Gaul period to the present, and had suffered from natural disasters and wars, should have been dragged into the wilderness and left to be completely destroyed by natural disasters.

Maybe it will become home to infected creatures and wandering bandits, but so what?

The vacated space will be used to build new mobile cities.

"It's better not to talk about the Duke's affairs. Now I only care about when I can get the double salary promised by the Duke?" replied another Victoria worker.

A month ago, the Duke of Kaster suddenly issued a recruitment notice to the territory, requesting the recruitment of a group of workers to repair the mobile city "Lepita City" which had long been scrapped and was about to be disposed of.

Originally, the workers were reluctant to take on the job because the city had been abandoned for a long time and some areas were filled with active Originium and infected organisms.

There would be considerable danger in entering the city to carry out repair work.

However, under the temptation of the Duke of Caister's double salary and the protection of guards, the recruitment point quickly gathered a large number of workers, who entered the city and began construction.

Duke Kaster only asked the workers to repair the Originium Engine and restore basic mobility. As for the rest, it was fine as long as they could be used.

Among the many busy workers, a sturdy worker of indistinct racial features quietly came to the edge of the city and threw the iron box in his hand with force.

The worker threw the iron box and it fell heavily into a forest. Soon someone found the iron box in the hay, opened it with a special spell, and took out the letter written in Sarkaz language.

"So that's how it is... these damn Victorians." The Sarkaz wrapped in a black cloak spat fiercely on the ground and went back into the woods.

Soon the letter was delivered to Theresa's desk in Kazdel City, thousands of miles away.

At the same time, Victoria, the courier who had left Kazdale, drove an off-road vehicle back to the Duke of Kaster's territory. She personally handed the document signed by Theresa and the map specifying the transaction location to the Duke of Kaster's desk.

......

At the border between Leithania and Victoria, the Duke of Windermere was ordered to be stationed here, always on guard against attacks by the Leithanians.

The war fortress, like a small mobile city, stood on the border, with its pitch-black gun muzzles pointed at the Leithania magic tower in the distance.

An astonishing number of high-speed warships and frigates surrounded the war fortress, forming a wall of steel and artillery.

Recently, due to the unusual troop movements of the Duke of Godottin and the Duke of Cavendish, the border situation, which had finally been stabilized, has become tense again.

Even though the Duke of Windermere had explained the situation to the Leitanian side and that they were only passing through and had no intention of entering Leitania, those conservative Leitanians were still too nervous.

In just one month, the deployment of troops on the border of Leitania has been strengthened several times. I have to deal with such troublesome things just after my vacation. It's all because of that crazy woman Caister.

At this time, Cavendish and Godottin's fleets were ready to go in the defense zone where the Duke of Windermere was located. They would set out from here, bypassing Leitania, passing through the Lateran border, passing through the vast wilderness between Syracuse and Rembito, and entering the Kazdel area where natural disasters frequently occurred.

Of course, these fleets will not enter Kazdel at the beginning. If the deal between Duke Caister and the Sarkaz people is successfully concluded, then nothing will happen.

Once the Sarkaz discover the tricks that Duke Kast is playing on the mobile city and the deal falls through, these fleets will be her greatest reliance for returning safely to Victoria.

Of course, the Duke of Caster also has his own fleet, which is mainly responsible for guarding the Duke's flagship "Glory" and the major urban areas of the mobile city "Lepita City".

It's just that the Duke of Windermere has been having a strange feeling of uneasiness lately. Logically speaking, it's impossible that these dukes making such a big move would not have alarmed the all-powerful Duke of Wellington. However, the information received from the intelligence personnel every day indicated that there was nothing wrong with the Duke of Wellington.

What on earth is the Iron Duke planning?

The Duke of Windermere rubbed his swollen temples and continued to check the reports sent back from the front line of the defense zone.

......

From time to time, melodious music could be heard from the towering towers in Leitania. At this moment, Fremont seemed a little irritable. He had received the message from Ermengarde and learned that the royal court had been abolished.

He had already made up his mind to return to Kazdel to question the two siblings in person, but according to the letter that Ermengarde sent later, the current situation in Kazdel was much better than he expected.

There was no extreme reaction from the various royal courts; even the most radical and violent blood demons actually calmed down.

Her Highness Theresa also used a large amount of funds from who knows where to purchase a large amount of supplies, improving the shortage of supplies in Kazdel.

According to Ermengarde, a new demon king named Roy has appeared among the Sarkaz. He has joined forces with Theresa to jointly propose the decision to abolish the Royal Court.

Under the threat of force from the two demon kings and the consent of most of the royal court, the Blood Demon Lord Dukare had no choice but to agree.

Frémont felt that he had been deceived. The secret message sent to him by the witch did not mention these things at all. If he knew, he would definitely go to the royal court meeting in person.

Now he received Ermengarde's latest letter, the content of which was very simple.

"Kazdel is going to fight against the combined fleet of several Dukes of Victoria."

"Demon Lord Roy has mastered the magic of manipulating natural disasters. He plans to use natural disasters to launch attacks and work with the Royal Court to capture the high-speed battleship and mobile city from Duke Victoria in one fell swoop."

......

This explains very well what has been happening recently on the border between Leithania and Victoria.

It seems that those Victorians were telling the truth, they really came here to pass through.

"Roy, the demon lord who controls natural disasters, such a person actually appeared among the Sarkaz." As Fremont sighed, an idea emerged in his mind.

Anyway, the liches were not very popular in Leithania, and Fremont also noticed the desire for power in the white sheep of the Twin Queens.

The black goat and the white sheep have different paths and beliefs, and one day they will go their separate ways.

Instead of moving the entire clan out of Leithania at that time, it is better to start preparing now and return to the land that belongs to the Sarkaz.

But before that, he needed to go through the formalities and ask for the opinions of a few old guys.

Although he probably won't listen...
