People in Terra, governing a weird little country

This Sarkaz is so big!

Isn't it said that the Sarkaz are living in dire straits, going hungry one moment and sometimes not even having water to drink, and their lives are under threat at any time and in any place?

How did they manage to grow so wildly?

What made Xinteleia feel her worldview collapse the most was that even the blond Sarkaz man next to her understood human nature better than her!

That's a man!

"Ahem, Xinteleya, you still have a mission to complete. Don't stay here for long. Go first."

Mace coughed, awakening Xintelaiya who had lost her brilliance. For some reason, Xintelaiya could hear some eagerness in her tone?

"I'll go meet them!"

Sure enough, you are eager to try it!

Chapter 290 Manfred: They are all traitors, you are all playing me!

"Damn it, where did this crazy woman come from!"

Taking several steps back and dodging the two maces dancing in the hands of the mace master, Ursula at this moment burst out with such flexibility and surging power that left Xinteleya dumbfounded.

However, Mace was not Hinterea. Even so, Ursula did not affect Mace's mentality. She took a sudden step forward, using one of the double maces in her hands to block Manfred, and the other to swing directly at Ursula who was trying to escape from the battlefield, almost hitting her shoulder.

At the critical moment, Manfred directly used his "magic weapon", the gift given to him by Tracys. The Sarkaz witchcraft crystal named [Root of Tikaz] took off under Manfred's control, and a dazzling red light gushed out from the eyeball-like hole, blocking the attack trajectory of the mace.

As a last resort, she could only temporarily withdraw her mace, and the weapon that had almost been smashed down was forcibly stopped under her control. As she stepped sideways, she changed from smashing to sweeping, tearing apart the ominous red light of witchcraft. As a result, she herself took a step back and had to distance herself from Manfred and Ursula.

However, Jian was not discouraged by this. Instead, he wiped the sweat from his temples with full fighting spirit, his eyes full of anticipation:

"Your swordsmanship is excellent, but unfortunately it is not mature enough. You have a good master, but neither you nor he puts swordsmanship first, which is a pity."

"But it doesn't matter, Sarkaz, you are good enough to be my opponent! Come on, continue!"

Just keep going!

Manfred bared his teeth. He didn't come to Kjerag to fight. Or, even if he wanted to fight, it shouldn't be here, with a strange Caprini.

Kjerag still had many secrets waiting for him to explore. He also had the task of verifying the authenticity of Hedley's intelligence and confirming his loyalty. After finishing these, he had to return to Londinium to report the situation to His Royal Highness the Regent. After that, he would continue to be responsible for training the soldiers of the Royal Court Army, negotiating with the commander of the Londinium City Defense Force, and also be responsible for eliminating the dense "eyes" of several Grand Dukes in Londinium. He had so many things to do that he could not finish them all and had no time to waste with people here.

But the blond Caprini seemed to be completely unreasonable. He walked up and said without saying anything, "Are you the guests invited by Ernst?"

Before he could think about it and come up with a plausible excuse, she had already drawn her mace and opened it to write a murderous word: "War!"

I'm going to fight you, you big-headed ghost!

I haven't even said a word yet and you've already started attacking me. Isn't that a bit too rude?

Manfred never thought that he, a Sarkaz, would one day be polite to others. But the fact is that when the mace moved forward and swung a clean and neat "head-on blow", Manfred knew that at this moment, it was impossible not to fight.

But Manfred was not too worried at first. He thought that if they fought, they would fight. At most, they would fight quickly and decisively. Manfred was somewhat confident in his fighting ability.

He was born in Kazdel, a city that had suffered from war. When he was young, he became a disciple of the Sarkaz Great Sword Saint, His Highness Tracys. At that time, General Tracys' apprentice Ascalon had betrayed the general and did not return to the Military Commission after the civil war. As the only disciple of General Tracys now, he naturally also got the true teachings of General Tracys.

He studied hard and never slacked off, and his swordsmanship improved faster and faster, even General Tresis praised him highly. Although he often heard General Tresis compare him to Ascalon and teach him some swordsmanship essentials, he actually had some different ideas today.

He had a slight doubt as to whether Askalon's current strength was really stronger than his.

This is the pride of a martial artist. Although his current work focus has shifted from honing his sword skills to commanding work, and the frequency of his daily sword practice has also decreased, he has always maintained this pride.

But today, his pride was shattered.

Every move of the Caprini in front of him was powerful and heavy, which was completely different from the fighting style of the Caprini warlocks that Manfred had seen before, who always wielded rapiers or bladed canes and released Originium skills from the tip of the sword to attack. How strong was she? Every time Manfred used his long sword to block the heavy blow of the mace, he would feel numbness in the palm of his hand and pain in his wrist. He could hardly hold the sword, let alone take the opportunity to defend and counterattack as expected.

How could this be the Caprini with skinny arms and legs, whose voice even sounded a bit sinister?

wrong!

Manfred suddenly realized something—he had not yet seen the mace release the Originium technique!

This woman is Caprini, who is known as a "natural sorcerer" on earth. Manfred would never believe that the mace does not know the art of Originium.

But until now, she has not used the Originium skill, but has been engaging in close combat with him. Is she planning to use magic as a decisive skill and attack me at the critical moment when I let my guard down?

Manfred couldn't help but think of a joke that was circulating in Kazdel:

A Sarkaz met a Sakota on the road, and the two were about to fight, but Sakota suddenly suggested that we keep a distance and have a fair duel. The Sarkaz agreed.

So the two of them kept their distance, and after counting down three seconds, Sarkaz turned around, swung his sword and was about to chop at Sakota's head, but the next second, he found that Sakota on the opposite side had taken out a gun!

"You don't follow martial ethics!"

"My lord, times have changed!"

The gun fired and people died.

Manfred didn't want to be like the stupid Sarkaz in the story and fall for someone else's trick. His eyes turned cold and he gritted his teeth and said:

"If we keep fighting like this, we'll always be on the defensive. It's like we've been disarmed!"

"We can't go on, Ursula, let's get rid of this weird woman!"

Ursula stepped aside and nodded, then pulled out a beautifully decorated pocket watch from the groove on her chest that smelled extremely ancient.

【Clock of Time】.

Ursula's name comes from an ancient Sarkaz hero. According to legend, he stood up when the [Chronology] monster invaded Kazdel, and died together with the monster, protecting the Sarkaz homeland. The authenticity of this story is no longer verifiable, but at least one thing is clear, that is, the Sarkaz and the [Chronology] monster are indeed closely related.

Whether it is the [Lock and Key] found by Mostima's team in the catacombs of a Sarkaz camp, or the [Clock of Time] in Ursula's hands, they are both part of the legacy left behind by the [Time] behemoth after its death.

The gold coins that burst out of these monsters have different uses. Mostima's lock and key can allow the holder to enter a state of subjective slow time, and the body functions, age, and even the perception of time will become different from those of outsiders. The function of the pocket watch in Ursula's hand is -

"Teleport!"

Time and space are inseparable. The power of the [Time] beast also includes the ability to travel through time and reach unimaginable areas. The power of the beast is mysterious and unpredictable. Even the Sarkaz cannot analyze the principle, but this does not prevent them from using it!

It is because of this ability that Londinium is able to transport supplies and Sarkaz soldiers amidst heavy blockades and surveillance.

The reason why Ursula was arranged to travel with Manfred was because of her baby.

Following a cry from Sarkaz, the pocket watch in her hand suddenly emitted a mysterious light. In the light blue ripples, it seemed as if a concrete "time" was flowing, and under Ursula's control, it covered her and Manfred's bodies.

Mace frowned and wanted to move forward, but since Manfred had already pulled out one of his trump cards, the [Root of Tikaz], he would naturally not be suppressed by Mace at close range.

Deep red beams of light shot out from the pupil-like abyss of the Root of Tikaz, forcing the mace to retreat again and again. The ground hit by the beams of light had now dissolved into pits.

The power is quite strong and cannot be resisted head-on.

Mace made an immediate judgment, leaped back lightly, and distanced himself from Manfred.

In Manfred's eyes, this was a sign that she had finally given up and was ready to use her Originium skills.

"What a pity." Manfred smiled coldly, "It's too late."

The charging of the [Clock of Time] has been completed, and the feeling of emptiness that seems to pull the human soul out of the body has surged over Manfred's body. At this moment, no matter what this terrible blond Caprini does, it will be of no avail.

Manfred put away the [Root of Tikaz], stared at the mace, and said loudly:

"Caprini, I will remember you. Now is not the time to fight with you. Next time we meet, I will let you see what the Sarkaz swordsmanship is like and let you know that the Sarkaz cannot be insulted!"

The abundant blue light obscured Manfred's vision and he briefly lost consciousness. In the last second before he disappeared from the spot, he seemed to see the blond Caprini put away his double maces, took out a strangely shaped stone from his arms, and looked at Hedley who had been watching the battle silently from beginning to end.

Humph, if Hedley was not still of great use to Kjerag, based on his silence and inaction just now, Manfred would have asked him, "Why are you just watching? Did you betray too?"

Although he allowed Hedley to distance himself from the general because of his instructions, Manfred could not help him clear his suspicion afterwards.

I hope there won't be any big problems.

Also, Caprini is horrible.

The blue light slowly dissipated, as if a drowning man had found land again. Manfred opened his eyes again and began to gasp uncontrollably.

It is not a good experience to resist the teleportation of the [Time] behemoth without any protection. It feels like you may be thrown into the turbulence of time and space at any time.

Fortunately, I finally escaped from that terrifying Caprini.

Mace: "Hello."

Manfred: “………?”

The snowfield was still the same snowfield, the mountain was still the same mountain, and the people in front of him were still the same people, Hedley, Mace, and Ursula.

No, why is it still you!

"Ursula, why are you teleporting?! Why are we still here? Did you betray me too?"

Ursula was also confused, and quickly waved her hands to deny the possibility that she was paid to play a fake match: "I don't know either. We didn't enter the spine of [Time], and the transmission was blocked halfway! I have never encountered such a situation before!"

What does it mean that the transmission was blocked midway?

Manfred didn't believe this at all!

You are just kidding. Even the general cannot stop the teleportation of the time beast. It is the highest level of power! How can it be blocked? Do you think Caprini is the wizard king?

Faced with Ursula's feeble explanation, Manfred said, "Go on, make it up."

What? Are you going to say next that the [Time] beast doesn’t want to leave anymore?

PS: I went to bed at 8 o'clock, and now I suddenly woke up and hurried to type. Damn, I almost missed the time, brothers!

Brothers, go to bed early and watch it tomorrow. I will keep working hard. Good night!

Chapter 291 Kal'tsit, where are you!

"So, you brought these two people back?"

Ernst looked at the two Sarkaz in front of him with some curiosity.

Again, it's not that he has any prejudice against the Sarkaz, but in this land, the vast majority of the Sarkaz are really not good people.

Two Sarkaz sneaked into Kjerag and clashed with the mace, which instantly raised Ernst's favorability to a dangerous level.

In addition, they used a spell called [Teleport (ancient Sakaz language)] that could make one disappear temporarily on the spot, so Ernst could not help but be alert.

After all, this trick sounds really perverted. Who knows what these two people are here for?

There was also Hedley, and the person who witnessed the three of them being together with Mace was Xintelaiya. Although she should be negotiating business with the Casimir people at Kalan Trade at the moment, Ernst did not doubt that Mace would lie about something that could be easily verified.

Hedley is also related to these two Sarkaz, which means they were also sent by Tracys?

Ernst was a little helpless. No, Theresis, why don't you stare at your Londinium and the Grand Duke every day? Why do you come to stare at me every day? Is there anything good about my face?

Sending one spy is not enough, so you send two or three. What? Are you planning to achieve a wave of performance and send me a group of talents?

Then I really thank you.

Ernst smacked his lips with a headache. He knew that these two people were definitely different from Hedley. Hedley was obviously a lazy man. He had entrusted Horn Peak, the messenger, and Jeston to follow him for more than half a month, but he did not show any abnormality. However, these two people were sneaky as soon as they entered Kjerag, and they also met with Hedley in private. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the loyal followers of Tracys, who came to investigate Hedley, the spy who was slacking off.

Ernst's policy was clear, he would help Hedley to cover up for him. Where could he find such a cheap rural teacher? He didn't want to give Tracy's people a chance like this.

Having roughly guessed the identities of the two, Ernst did not hide it and immediately asked in a not very polite tone:

"You two are from Londinium?"

Manfred and Ursula looked at each other and nodded.

Of course, they were not so honest in normal times. The so-called Sarkaz would never be slaves unless they were provided with food and shelter. Ernst had not made any conditions. According to their normal temperament, they would not be satisfied unless they made a few sarcastic remarks with a stern face.

But now, things are different.

For some reason, Ursula's [Clock of Time] lost its effect. In terms of martial arts alone, he could only match the mace on equal terms. Ernst was surrounded by many powerful generals, so it was unwise to confront him head-on. Besides, a conflict was not originally a requirement of Tresis's mission.

What? You're not curious about this? Is it about free food and accommodation?

This is actually true. Manfred is not very old, and has not experienced the bloody history of Kazdel being destroyed more than 3,000 times. Born of civilian blood, he does not have the long history of inheritance and memory like the royal court. His hatred for the countries of the earth and the hundreds of tribes of Terra is not that deep-rooted.

In his opinion, everyone was fighting to the death, but in the end they were just fighting for the establishment of Kazdel, so that the Sarkaz could have a future as a home. If the countries on earth could really give up a piece of land so that the Sarkaz could live and develop, with food and shelter, then Manfred would not have such a strong impulse to expel all the Terrans from this land.

He is not Tracy after all.

Although he didn't understand what General Tresis's real purpose was.

His diligence now was just to fulfill his duties as a soldier and obey his leader.

This is of course also a kind of loyalty, but loyalty is more subjective. Therefore, Manfred can choose his attitude towards Ernst independently.

He didn't know Tracy's attitude, but he felt that Tracy should know his attitude. Since he didn't say anything to correct or stop him, it should be a tacit approval.
