People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Chapter 200: I recommend He Dalei, he is the one that everyone expects!

Londinium, Victoria.

As soon as Tresis sat down, the pardoner rushed to the hall. When he saw Tresis, his eyes lit up and he immediately asked:

"His Royal Highness the Regent is back, where's the Flame Demon?"

"......." Tracy glanced at him coldly.

The pardoner immediately nodded in understanding and said:

"Oh, I see. That's right. The Fire Demon has just returned and he must need to rest and be checked. Tell me his location and I will go find him right away."

"No." Tresis's expression was a little stiff. Facing the enthusiastic Pardoner, the corner of his mouth twitched and he said, "In fact, I think the Balrog is not that important to us."

"There are already enough royal courts gathered in Londinium. Even if the arrogant and violent Fire Demon Royal Court returns, it may not be able to be used by me. What the Military Committee needs to do now is not to strengthen combat effectiveness, but to ensure stability and internal unity."

"After all, our ultimate goal is to use the Shard to stir up chaos and establish a country, not to unify the royal court."

"The Royal Court is different from ordinary Sarkaz. Adding a Fire Demon Royal Court will not make the Military Committee more credible. Instead, it may trigger unnecessary fantasies among some stubborn conservatives. For example, the Blood Demon Lord may regard this behavior as my compromise with him."

"But the Kazdel I want to build is definitely not a new slave farm of the royal court, but a country belonging to more Sarkaz."

This speech, which talked about the welfare of the Sarkaz people and the founding of Kazdel, really stunned the Pardoner. He stared at Tresis, thinking for a long time, and then asked in surprise:

"So, you mean, Flame Demon..."

"Don't you want to come back with you?"

"Yes, that's right." Tracy nodded, and his eyes softened as he looked at the Pardoner. "You are right."

The pardoner then nodded.

Although he was somewhat surprised that Tracys did not use force to force the Balrog to his knees and bring him back to Londinium to replenish his combat power, this situation was not completely beyond his expectations.

The members of the royal court have always obeyed orders but not declarations. This is a relatively civilized way of saying it. To put it more bluntly, everyone in the Sarkaz royal court is rebellious.

The Blood Demon Lord recognized Tresis's strength, and the Scavenger King recognized Tresis's ideas. Apart from that, the other lords of the royal court ignored Tresis and had no respect for the Military Committee. These old things, who had been washed by thousands of years and whose edges and corners had been smoothed countless times (probably), were still like this. What about a Balrog who was revived from the era when the Sarkaz were still strong - at least stronger than now?

The Pardoner could imagine the attitude of the Fire Demon towards Tracys: "Save me from the Columbians? Chairman of the Kazdel Military Committee? What is that? Do I need you to meddle in my business?"

He didn't set fire to Tracys directly, picking the tallest among the short ones, and it was fortunate that the fire demon had a good temper.

Since he was mentally prepared, the pardoner naturally did not feel too much disappointment or sadness.

Well, there are regrets for sure. A resurrected Balrog, his physical condition, form of existence, and his mastery of ancient Sarkaz witchcraft knowledge, and most importantly, his understanding of resurrection technology, are all things worth studying. Teresis failed to persuade him to come back, which means that the Absolver will not have the opportunity to consult on these things.

However, even though it was regrettable, Tracy's trip was not completely useless.

He saw the revived Fire Demon, and that was the greatest effect.

This at least proves that the resurrection match... no, the magic (technology) of resurrecting the dead does exist. Since the Colombians can achieve this goal through technological means, the Sarkaz can also achieve the same effect through witchcraft.

This will greatly enhance the credibility of the "Theresia Resurrection Plan" within the Military Committee. Presumably, Theresis's attitude towards him in the future will not be so bad.

Maybe you can gain some support from this?

With this greatest achievement, the Pardoner no longer cares whether the Fire Demon has returned to the Sarkaz.

Even if a Flame Demon King's Court was rebuilt, it would be a shoddy project and would not be very useful. One more or one less would not make a difference. Without him, there would be one less troublesome guy who would give you the cold shoulder.

The Pardoner has been treated with sarcasm by the Blood Demon Lord many times.

As for where the Fire Demon will go next, how long he can survive on this land, and what his reaction and feelings will be when he sees the Sarkaz's current appearance, he doesn't care.

Whether he lives a good life or a bad one, it does not affect him. Whether he does good things or bad things, it just adds some spice to the Sarkaz's reputation of falling into the cesspool. Tracys, the boss, did not say anything, so he can still worry about it. If the emperor is not anxious, then how can the eunuch be anxious?

Although I couldn't say that I was very satisfied, at least I wasn't dissatisfied. The pardoner was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and looked at Tracys, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing his expression, Tracy asked directly:

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"No, it's not a big deal, Regent." The pardoner bowed slightly to apologize, and then asked, "You should not have attracted the attention of the Colombians, right?"

Tracy was silent for a moment, then shook his head:

"No."

Ernst gave him enough face and never really called his name during the whole process. This was also a statement, indicating that the giant beast behind him actually had no grudges against the Sarkaz in the past or in the present, and did not want to create an enemy out of thin air. He did not say it at the scene, so Tracys naturally did not worry that he would say it afterwards, otherwise what effect would his previous preparation have?

However, having said that, he attracted the attention of a "person" who was much more troublesome than the Colombians.

With a slight sigh, Tracy watched the Pardoner leave, then ordered someone to call Manfred.

Tracy had two apprentices in total, one of whom was Askalon. He taught her all his skills and experiences in close combat, assassination, fighting, etc., and also gave her one of his treasured hidden blades.

Unfortunately, the apprentice finally chose to turn against him and stood on Theresa's side in the civil war. Theresa didn't blame him. Everyone served their own masters. Few people who had come into contact with Theresa could resist her personal charm and the grand vision she described. But this incident still made Theresa remember it.

Therefore, when he accepted Manfred as his second apprentice, he did not focus on cultivating Manfred's martial arts, but let him learn first.

Learn the history of the Sarkaz, learn about their wars, learn about their sufferings, and then teach him swordsmanship and strategies, and tell him to take up this sword and fight against all of this as a role model for the new generation of Sarkaz.

Manfred, who was trained through this process, was a rare cultured person among the Sarkaz. He finally grew from a soldier to a talented general.

Apart from being a little immature in Tracy's opinion, Manfred is fully capable of taking charge.

And Tracy's purpose of calling him here this time was very simple.

"Manfred, go investigate and see if there is an active silver-haired Filin on earth recently."

Manfred blinked when he was suddenly called over. He was a little surprised by Theresis's incoherent order. He tried to ask:

"Active silver-haired Filin? Does Kal'tsit count?"

Tracy glared at him.

Mentioning this name in front of him is somewhat of a sore spot.

Fortunately, it was Manfred who said this, so Tracy did not pursue it too much and shook his head.

"No, younger than that monster."

"Younger..." The face of the Duke of Caister first appeared in Manfred's mind.

The active, silver-haired Filin is much younger than Kal'tsit, and her status and position are comparable to Tracy's, making her worthy of the Regent's attention.

But this time, after learning from the previous lesson, he didn't dare to joke around anymore. He could only continue to ask cautiously:

"Can you give a more specific description?"

Tresis pursed his lips, recalling Ernst's features, and said:

"Looks like he's a male."

Why did Theresis never mention Ernst's gender?

Because the monster spokesperson is a very mysterious thing. Sometimes, they are people who are controlled by the monster's will and become the monster's puppet. But most of the time, the monster will not do such troublesome things. The monster will directly pinch a body as a puppet, just like the low-profile version of Enkidu in the next studio, the mud man, who looks like a human, but actually has no gender at all.

But since Manfred needs more clues, Tracy can only tell him these "clues that are not clues".

Hearing what Tresis said, Manfred frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"The person you are talking about, is it Ernst Shivaash?"

Silver-haired, active, fiery, and male, and would interest Tracy.

This request was rarely met, and Tracy had mentioned some time ago the "guy who had given him a lot of work during the Londinium evacuation."

As luck would have it, he was the one who reported on this matter. He also paraphrased Ernst's speech to prevent Theresis from getting angry, and he had a deep impression of it.

Hearing the name, Tracy's expression was slightly startled, and then he nodded in sudden realization.

So that's why. No wonder... No wonder a spokesperson for a giant beast would inexplicably get involved in the affairs of the Sarkaz.

Who would have thought that Ernst Shivaash, the Prime Minister of Kjerag, was actually the spokesperson for a behemoth?

He was involved in the Balrog experiment, he was involved in the evacuation of civilians after the Sarkaz occupied Londinium, and he is also suspected to be involved in the disappearance of Bodrakas in the Wendigo Court.

It wasn't a spur of the moment move, he had been eyeing the Sarkaz for a long time.

This giant beast has a strong interest in Sarkaz!

This may not be a bad thing, because, judging from the fact that he did not reveal his identity, the behemoth's attitude towards the Sarkaz does not seem to be bad.

Come to think of it, the behemoths don't care about the worldly disputes. The Sarkaz and other countries have been fighting for thousands of years, and the behemoths are just taking a few naps.

Well, if the behemoth intends to use the Sarkaz to achieve some goal, then the Sarkaz may not be able to use the behemoth to achieve some goal in return. Cooperating with the behemoth is a clever way to circumvent the hurdle in the hearts of the Military Committee and most of the stubborn and conservative members of the Royal Court. Perhaps it will be of great benefit in the future.

In this way, the Fire Demon in Ernst's hand can become a microphone for communication.

Tracy's mind was full of thoughts, his brows were slightly furrowed, but he was not sure of his own thoughts. After all, all these were just speculations, without any actual evidence to support them.

We have to think of a way and try it out.

He pondered for a long time, looked at Manfred, and decided to use the simplest method:

"Manfred, pick someone with a clean identity and go to Kjerag to contact Ernst Shivaash and find out what he has to say."

"Pay special attention to the traces of the Sarkaz in Kjerag."

Manfred looked at Teresis with suspicion, but since the general had given the order, he did not dare to disobey, so he took the initiative to recommend:

"In that case, I recommend Hedley."

"He's quite capable, his identity as a mercenary isn't too sensitive, and he's already proven his loyalty by digging his own hole. Rather than wasting his talent by leaving him in Londinium, it's better to send him out. I think he's fully capable of this mission!"

Tracy nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll leave it to you. Report any progress to me in a timely manner."

Manfred saluted: "Understood, General!"

Chapter 201: I have to take responsibility for my life being ruined by you

There is always something that can defeat something else. This saying is really true.

No matter how arrogant the military was in Tremont, the political world had indisputable legitimacy after all. When Vice President Wilson received the imperial decree from Mark Max and could unscrupulously fire at full power, the military's small influence in Tremont alone was really not enough.

The military leader, General Douglas, actually had a temper. He was caught off guard by the sudden criticism from the political circles the next day and responded quickly. He immediately mobilized the media under his command that were controlled by the military and wrote a press release overnight, intending to expose some of the negative news collected from the political circles over the years.

We are all old foxes, so who doesn’t have some dirty information about each other?

General Douglas did not intend to fight to the death with the politicians for a mere position as the head of the Tremont region. He was more interested in fighting for his reputation. As the current leader of the military, he couldn't let the politicians take advantage of him, right? Then he would not only lose his prestige, but also his reputation.

But it is said that just a few minutes before he was ready to fight back, an email was sent to his mailbox.

The content of the email was very brief, with only two words: "Shut up."

When General Douglas read the email, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Who is this? How dare you tell me to shut up?

Which department? Don’t you know that I’m a five-star general, a big shot in the Colombian military, and that Colombia will tremble when I stamp my feet?

This is no longer an ordinary lunatic, we must strike hard!

So he looked up at the sender's name, trying to remember the information of this mentally ill guy so that he could arrange a permanent package for him at St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital after the matter was over.

Then there is no more then.

The counterattack was aborted before it even began. General Douglas simply turned off his cell phone and asked his secretary to reject all calls for help from Tremont. At the same time, he unnoticeably hung a "Temporarily Absent" sign on his doorplate and drove overnight from the resort where he lived to the Special Administrative Region.

Rushing to be the new bird stand.

Of course, these rumors are all later. Ernst, who had just reached a "gentleman's agreement" with Vice President Wilson, naturally did not know about these future Columbia stories.

Overall, this is a satisfactory ending. With the help of Wilson, Holhaiya's identity and nature in this Balrog incident were completely determined.

And Holhaiya, who was personally labeled by the emperor as "having committed serious faults and will never be employed again", has now officially become an "unemployed person" in Tremon.

This unemployment is real unemployment.

On the second day of Rhine's recuperation, Holhaiya met his boss in the ward, the unlucky tin man who was "accidentally injured" by Saria.

Although she had long felt that a guy like the Tin Man, whose body structure was completely different from that of ordinary people, would not die so easily, Saria was still surprised when she saw the Tin Man in a suit and tie, striding into the Rhine Life building and asking the defense department staff about the location of Holhaiya's ward.

There are still many strange people on earth. Her hand was burned by the Balrog. After consultation with Parvis and the doctors at the employee hospital, it will take at least three months to recover, and this is based on the assumption that she cannot use her right hand during this period. And what about the Tin Man? His head fell to the ground, and his body was physically broken. It has only been half a month, and he is alive and kicking again, and even looks healthier than before.

What an enviable self-healing ability.

When she learned that the Tin Man came for Holhaiya, Saria immediately informed Ernst of the news. Ernst quickly rushed to the scene and personally took the Tin Man to the infirmary.
