Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 242 The Two Sides of Casimir

"My Lord Duke, I can hardly believe that a country that can defeat our proud fleet of high-speed battleships can be so backward and decadent."

The Victorian official motorcade sped across the wilderness in an orderly manner. The wide wheels kicked up yellow sand, and the scattered bushes on the hillside became a shelter for small animals.

The old driver who was in charge of driving the Duke of Windermere's car lamented the desolation of the road.

After entering the territory of Kazdale, no villages or towns were found within dozens of kilometers, and there was not even any sign of human activity. Even the route of the convoy was planned temporarily.

"Kazdel's strength lies in those few high-ranking figures, especially the two demon kings and the lords of the royal courts."

"They only need one demon king to defeat our fleet. If we lose, we lose. There is no ambiguity in war..."

The Duke of Windermere clenched his fist and acknowledged Victoria's defeat.

Thinking that he was about to face the Sarkaz Demon King who destroyed the combined fleet of the three grand dukes, even the battle-hardened and strong-willed Duke of Windermere could not avoid feeling nervous.

Only by holding tightly the saber that has accompanied you throughout your long military career can you feel a little more at ease.

The Duke of Windermere recalled the Battle of the Four Emperors reported in newspapers when he was a child. The monarch of Leitania controlled natural disasters to tear apart Gaul's defenses.

The fleet led by the Duke of Wellington cut off the reinforcements of the Gallic army, resulting in the Gallic main force being crushed by the coalition's huge manpower and firepower advantage.

The little girl who admired Victorian soldiers has now grown into the Grand Duke of Victoria, who commands a huge army.

The Duke of Wellington, who was hailed as the "Death Knell of the Empire" after the War of the Four Emperors, was able to fight against the king who controlled natural disasters. Now it is the Duke of Windermere himself, and he has to face this king who possesses power beyond ordinary people.

"It was a wise decision to reject the Duke of Caister's invitation at that time..." The Duke of Windermere was very glad for his choice at that time. It was indeed a more appropriate choice for him to represent Victoria in negotiations with Kazdel.

"Oh... I represent Victoria... Victoria's parliament itself doesn't know what Victoria wants. Who can define Victoria? Who can represent Victoria..."

The Duke of Windermere felt upset and troubled when he thought of the undercurrents and ulterior motives within Victoria.

"Your Excellency the Duke, we can already see the outline of the moving city." The old driver straightened his back, looked at the black line on the horizon, turned his head and reminded the Duke of Windermere in the back row.

"Okay, I understand. Shrink the formation, slow down, and send a request to enter the city."

"Yes."

Casimir "The Land of Knights and Commerce"

Knightly competitions and commercial activities, the Supervisory Council and the Chamber of Commerce are the two sides of this country.

After receiving the invitation to Kazdel's National Founding Celebration, both parties maintained their respective goals and temporarily traveled together.

The Supervisory Council represented the official government of the Knight Kingdom of Casimir, expressed its attitude, and recognized the establishment of the new country.

The Business Federation has set its sights on the huge commercial potential hidden behind Kazdel, especially the market related to mineral disease.

In an era when the number of infected people is growing rapidly every year, Kazdel, who has mastered advanced technology to treat mineral diseases, is a new outlet.

The Chamber of Commerce needs to seize this rare opportunity to expand its business power as quickly as possible, overwhelm the Supervisory Commission that is competing with it, and completely take control of Casimir's political and business activities.

"Whoever controls the lifeline of the infected controls the justice of the entire earth." The top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce were very far-sighted and foresaw in advance that the infected might burst out with powerful power.

The Chamber of Commerce has prepared several contracts with different dividends in advance and is seeking cooperation with the utmost sincerity.

"Your Highness Roy, we found some clues from the spies who invaded the pharmaceutical factory yesterday." After being busy all night, Ascalon came early in the morning to submit the mission report he had just summarized.

"Thank you for your hard work, Askalon. I'll grant you a long vacation after this special period is over." Roy took the report and praised.

"This is my job." Ascalon lowered his head and waited for Roy's instructions after reading the report.

"Are you sure it's someone from the East Country?" He quickly glanced at Roy who was reporting, his eyes slightly fixed.

"Yes, although those spies were disguised and did not use the weapons and magic skills of the East Country, the memories in their brains cannot be false." Askalon was quite confident about the authenticity of the intelligence gleaned from the Sarkaz witchcraft.

"Yes... I understand. Put aside the safety issues of the pharmaceutical factory for now, and prioritize checking the identities of people who have recently entered the city."

"Yes, then I'll leave first." After receiving the new order, Askalon turned around and left decisively. She did not question Roy's decision at all.

As a sharp blade in the hands of the devil, you only need to decisively execute the king's will.

After watching Ascalon leave, Roy pondered for a moment, stood up, cast a space spell, and instantly arrived at Rhine Life's research institute.

The doctor and Muirseth, both in white coats, stood side by side in front of a LCD screen suspended by a robotic arm, concentrating on analyzing the changes in the experimental data.

The two were startled by Roy's sudden appearance. Muirseth didn't hold the cup firmly in his hand, and was pulled up by her water magic in time before it broke.

"Roy, what are you doing? You scared me." Muerseth patted his chest to calm his pounding heart.

"Huh... Me too." Just as the doctor was about to express his little complaint to Roy, his raised hand was grabbed by Roy.

"I'm sorry, Muirseth, I need to talk to the doctor about something." Roy apologized for his sudden appearance and scaring the two of them.

"Did something happen?" the doctor asked doubtfully.

"How was the trial production of the second-generation anti-ore sickness drug that was conducted earlier?"

"Not bad. The yield rate of the medicine has reached the requirements and the output is also stable." The doctor had a smile on her face. She was very satisfied with the performance of the second-generation medicine.

"The plants that serve as raw materials grow well in greenhouses, and new extraction technologies improve the utilization rate of raw materials." Muirseth answered regarding the area he is responsible for.

"In that case, the matter should be moved forward. I will convene the members of the parliament and make a decision as soon as possible."
