The Sarkaz regent Tresis deceived Victoria's nobles and crushed their conspiracy with a series of measures. Even in a foreign country, the Sarkaz Military Committee was invincible and won the victory. This was a dream that Gaul had not achieved even after its demise, but it was realized in the hands of the Sarkaz.
Dark clouds gathered at the top of the tower, and the flag flying over the city quietly changed color. It was the flag of the Sarkaz Kingdom.
No one in Londinium can stop the Sarkaz anymore. The Sarkaz Military Council has already subdued the parliament's guards and taken control of 70% of Londinium's city defense forces.
The Sarkaz will one day rise again under the leadership of Regent Tracy.
Just like the civil war in Kazdel.
The Sarkaz people believe in it.
—Crash.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
The Absolutioner pushed open the door of the temple and bowed slightly to show respect.
Sitting on the throne in front of the Absolver was a man in armor. His face had delicate features but revealed a sharp and cold expression. He was none other than Tracys, the regent of Kazdel and the current leader of the Sarkaz Royal Court, commanding all the Sarkaz people.
Since the end of the Kazdel Civil War, the power of the Sarkaz has tended to be unified by Theresis. In the past, the Sarkaz were basically ruled by two kings, one was Princess Theresia and the other was the regent. They ruled the Sarkaz for hundreds of years of stability and provided a home for the displaced Sarkaz people.
Logically speaking, after the victory of the civil war, there is only one king of the Sarkaz. Tracy should proclaim himself the king of the Sarkaz and nominally unify the Sarkaz.
What is confusing is that Tracys did not claim to be king. He still called himself the regent, as if the king of Kazdel would always belong to only one person, and Tracys could not mention her.
No one could understand this regent after Princess Theresa's death.
He still leads the Sarkaz.
But the person who stood shoulder to shoulder with him no longer exists.
"What is it, Pardoner?"
Tracy asked, his tone filled with a coldness and an authority that brooked no argument.
"There is an important matter concerning Rhodes Island, Your Highness."
The Absolver answered calmly, feeling the high pressure emanating from Tracys and keeping his tone calm, as he was already accustomed to this way of conversation.
The Pardoner is recognized by the Sarkaz Military Council as Tracy's right-hand man and always stands on Tracy's side. Since the Sarkaz Military Court occupied Londinium, the Pardoner's position has been increasingly promoted and is now on par with the royal families of the ten royal courts.
"Rhodes Island, didn't you report to me a few days ago that they had reached a cooperation with Longmen? Is there anything else going on?"
Tracy frowned and lost his patience when he heard the word "Rhodes Island". He had never liked this organization, and this was well known in the Sarkaz royal court.
"Yes, Your Highness, but please do not be angry. This matter is indeed important, Your Majesty must know."
The pardoner spoke respectfully, and then revealed something.
"The 'Undead' of Rhodes Island has rebelled, and Rhodes Island is sending operators to hunt him down."
"...!?"
Theresa's face was dazed for a second, an expression he hadn't shown in hundreds of years after becoming the regent of the Sarkaz.
He could handle any unexpected situation calmly, but this time, Tracy's heart was moved. He stared at the Pardoner and wanted to doubt the authenticity of the news, but unfortunately he could not see the Pardoner's flaws.
Tracy's tone inadvertently lowered: "Why?"
"The reason... Your Majesty, you know it well. The Rhodes Island Undead had been constantly insulted by the Operators, and finally the Undead couldn't stand it anymore. Not only did he severely injure the Rhodes Island Operators in the Lungmen Slums, he also revealed Rhodes Island's secrets."
The Pardoner spoke in an orderly manner. This was based on information from Sarkaz's informant in Lungmen. On the other hand, the news of this matter had already spread among various forces in Terra, causing great trouble in Lungmen.
"..."
Theresis remained silent. The usually decisive regent suddenly became taciturn and withdrawn.
Tracy had heard from the Pardoner that the undead of Rhodes Island had regressed to an ordinary person and was looked down upon by the operators of Rhodes Island, but he had never imagined that Rhodes Island would bully the Doctor into rebellion. How severe would that bullying be?
Rhodes Island was the power left by his daughter, and he always paid attention to it. After this incident, Tracy didn't know what to say. This was really the organization that fought with him in the past. Without his daughter and the undead, it was just a bunch of straws?
"What about the undead from Rhodes Island? Were they captured by the Rhodes Island operators?"
Tracy asked, feeling a little angry.
"No, at least there was no news last night. The people in Rhodes Island were busy dealing with the destruction of the secret machine, and this is our opportunity."
The Pardoner chuckled and answered, looking very happy.
"Opportunity, are you saying that we should attack Rhodes Island at this time, or take advantage of the opportunity to encourage other forces to sabotage Rhodes Island?"
Theresis spoke symbolically, astutely speculating on several possibilities.
He really didn't like the Riddler. He pretended to be profound but seemed stupid. Tracy had pointed out the Absolver's speaking style many times, but he just couldn't change it.
It's indeed an opportunity. Rhodes Island is doing it at its own expense...
The doctor does have the ability. From the recent development of Rhodes Island, Tracy feels a sense of familiarity. Rhodes Island also prospered rapidly under the management of the doctor, which gave it the strength to fight against the Sarkaz Military Committee.
Tracy respected the Doctor and lost his command ability. The Doctor was also a talented person. Rhodes Island was too ambitious and only required the Doctor to have the command ability to defeat him. It was really ridiculous. Even the most ferocious beasts could not defeat the grass-eating reindeer during the lactation period. Rhodes Island wanted to fight against the country under his command after only a few years of development?
He stopped paying attention to Rhodes Island after its defeat in Kazdel because of his "atonement" for his daughter. What disappointed Tracy the most was that Rhodes Island was still the same even without the Military Committee's targeting. In some ways, this really matched his daughter's personality, which was too "expecting" of people.
"No, Your Highness, we don't need to worry about Rhodes Island. Under the command of that all-knowing woman, Rhodes Island will eventually destroy itself. What we need to do is lead the Sarkaz into a more distant future. The opportunity is right before our eyes."
The pardoner continued to advise, but still didn't get to the point.
"Speak quickly, Absolver. I hate playing tricks."
Tracy clenched his right hand impatiently and urged that he would hit someone if you asked any more riddles!
"Yes, Your Highness."
The pardoner bowed his head in apology.
In the eyes of the Pardoner, the changes in Rhodes Island were a blessing in disguise. Not only did Rhodes Island destroy its own martial arts, but it also made the situation worse. How could Rhodes Island dare to do that? Wasn't it afraid that Chu Yun would die together?
It broadened the horizons of the Pardoner. Throughout the ages, there have been people who boast of knowing everything but actually understand nothing!
If he were given ten thousand years, Tracy and Theresa would be no chance of survival. The Absolver was jealous in his heart, because what the Sarkaz lacked was time.
The Sarkaz started out with a hellish difficulty level. With the birth of Tracys and Theresa, the Sarkaz barely had a glimmer of hope. Currently, the Sarkaz lack so much: manpower, money, weapons, medical care...
I don’t know if the doctor will be caught, the pardoner has no idea.
Regardless of the outcome, the Pardoner intends to give Tracys a warning and doesn't want to waste precious time waiting to take action.
Necessary wake-up call...
He is trying to win over the "genius" who can revitalize the Sarkaz tribe, the enemy of his enemy!
The Pardoner looked up and smiled brightly, spreading his arms.
"Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts on recruiting the doctor to join our Sarkaz Military Council?"
……
Chapter 23: "Recruitment"
Recruiting PhD students...
This is such a huge joke!
Of course, this is for ordinary forces.
Who is the Doctor? The undead of Babel are the nightmare of the Sarkaz Military Council. Under the Doctor's command, the battle lines between the Sarkaz Royal Court and Babel were repeatedly drawn during the Kazdel Civil War. The Sarkaz Royal Court, with its vast resources and manpower several times greater than Babel's, was a real disgrace.
The Sarkaz Military Council and the Doctor have an irreconcilable feud. Many of the Council's best warriors have been slain by the Doctor's schemes. Without the Doctor, the Sarkaz Military Council would be twice as strong as it is now! This shows how many elites the Sarkaz Military Council has lost, severely damaging the Council's vitality.
According to common people's thinking, at this time, they should "pursue the enemy while the chaos is going on." It would be best if Rhodes Island eliminated the doctor to avenge the civil war.
But the monarch he was loyal to, the Pardoner knew, was not an ordinary person. He possessed both arrogant ambition and the magnanimity of a king.
To fulfill the Sarkaz's ambitions, Regent King Tresis was willing to kill his sister, with whom he had shared countless joys and sorrows for centuries. Who on Terra could do that? He simply turned a blind eye to his foolishly escaped "sister." Family ties are strange things. You think they won't affect you, but they constantly upset you when you have to make a decision.
The Doctor's logistical ability is excellent, and to be more specific, the Absolver thinks it is unparalleled. However, whether the Doctor can command is another matter. He has long wanted to have an in-depth exchange with the undead of the Tower of Babel, and to sleep in the same bed with them every night to discuss his experience in governing the country.
What the Absolutioner didn't expect was that Tracy was very reluctant, especially to the Doctor.
The reason why Tracy dislikes Rhodes Island is that when he hears Rhodes Island, he will think of the Doctor, the strategist whom he respects, and the man whom he "hates".
Because without the Doctor, his sister Theresa would not have died!
The Sarkaz Military Committee planned to overthrow the Tower of Babel in three days. Under the Doctor's command, the Tower of Babel lasted for ten years. How could Tracys not care? If it weren't for the Doctor, the Kazdel Civil War would have ended in a few days.
Tracy was at his wit's end and decided to assassinate Theresa. If the fighting continued, the Sarkaz would never have peace. His sister Theresa also accepted her own death calmly. The Sarkaz were reunified and Rhodes Island withdrew from Kazdel.
“…Recruit?”
Tracy wanted to agree immediately, but when it came to the person he loved most and had passed away, he was always conflicted and unable to make a decisive decision.
"How can you guarantee that the Doctor won't betray us? He's the ghost of the Tower of Babel. If he inherits the Princess's will, he's still our enemy. There's no difference."
"Yes, Your Highness, but we have to try, don't we?"
The pardoner smiled faintly.
"Regardless of whether the Doctor has recovered his memories, the current Rhodes Island can no longer accommodate the Doctor. Your Highness, I was right. The Doctor has left Lungmen, and his next target will be the Reunion Movement. The Doctor was once a member of the Reunion Movement, but later returned to the sarcophagus on his own."
"The remaining remnants of the Tower of Babel from Rhodes Island are not something Reunion can easily defeat. Rhodes Island will not allow the Doctor, who knows the secrets, to join another faction. If we help the Doctor, his impression of us will definitely change. Furthermore, the Doctor may not necessarily disapprove of us. After all, Rhodes Island violated the Princess's will and controlled the Demon King."
"If the doctor wants women, we will select the most beautiful girls in the Sarkaz and line them up for the doctor to favor at will; if the doctor wants wealth, we will empty Victoria's treasury to buy the doctor's loyalty; if the doctor wants revenge, why not help the doctor and destroy Rhodes Island, which will hinder us in the future?"
"The core of the Princess's will has always been to plot the future of the Sarkaz. Rhodes Island has betrayed the Princess's will, and we are the only ones left to lead the Sarkaz. The Doctor cannot fail to realize this. Even if Rhodes Island's leader, Amiya, has a good relationship with the Doctor, that's fine. Our goal is to reclaim the Demon King, not to harm Amiya's life."
The Pardoner listed the factors that could persuade the Doctor with good reason, and lamented that the Sarkaz action was too late. The mercenaries sent out by the Military Commission had revealed that the Doctor was in the Reunion Movement, but the Doctor had already left by then.
The Doctor has prestige in the Reunion Movement, which is also what makes the Pardoner happy. The Sarkaz Military Committee and the Reunion Movement are partners in deep cooperation. The Military Committee wants money, and the Reunion Movement wants people.
Will Rhodes Island take action against Reunion because of the Doctor? Absolutely. This is necessary for Rhodes Island to demonstrate its strength. A Doctor who leaked Rhodes Island secrets and is still alive and kicking outside will cause all forces on Terra to reassess Rhodes Island. With Rhodes Island's investment delayed, it will inevitably be in a worse situation. Rhodes Island cannot afford it.
"Really? Then you'll be responsible for this matter."
Tracy tapped his thumb on the armrest of the throne and finally put aside his prejudice and expressed his agreement, but there was still a problem that needed to be solved.
"How do you plan to contact the Doctor once he returns to the Reunion?"
"It's very simple, Your Highness. All we need to do is have our mercenaries serve the Doctor. But at the same time, we must ensure the Sarkaz's command of the mercenaries. So I will appoint a deputy from among the Sarkaz mercenaries, who will also have a grudge against the Doctor."
The Pardoner explained, already having a strategy in mind.
"There's a grudge. Who is that person? Is he among the Sarkaz mercenaries we sent to the Reunion Movement?"
Tracy was rarely interested. What interested him was not the grudge, but the fact that among a group of Sarkaz who had a "grudge" against the doctor, there was a mercenary who was absolutely hostile to the doctor.
"Yes, Your Highness..."
The corners of the Pardoner's mouth curled up slightly, and a playful smirk spread across his face beneath the antler mask.
"W, have you forgotten? She will never forgive the Doctor. Please rest assured, she will be on guard against the Doctor, Your Majesty~"
...
At the same time, in a camp outside Longmen.
Chu Yun, who was half asleep, woke up from his dream. The first thing he saw was his frozen legs on the bed, which made him puzzled.
A member of the Snow Monster nearby cried with joy:
"Brother, you're finally awake. I'll call my sister over right away. Also, my sister said that if you dare to run away again while she's away, or even bring back a girl of questionable character, she'll seal your lower body and take care of everything from your eating, drinking, and toileting. She doesn't mind supporting you from now on."
"..."
Damn...
He has entered the bandit camp!
……
Chapter 24: Rhodes Island "Invasion"
Chu Yun stared blankly at the snow monster running out of the tent happily, his face full of despair.
He really wanted to ask where Ansuo was, but after thinking about it, Chu Yun decided to forget it. As long as Ansuo was fine, it was good. Well... he didn't dare to discuss other women under the nose of "that person".
