Terra Martial God and Merit System

Luo Chen pushed open the door and saw three heads gathered on the table, sighing at the things on it.

"Who?" The tallest figure was the first to react. She saw Luo Chen through the gap in her helmet and then blinked in confusion.

"Are you...the city lord?" she asked in a speculative tone.

After all, according to what Tallulah had meant before, the only person who could suddenly appear here was the mysterious but famous city lord.

As soon as she spoke, the remaining two people also looked up.

"I am." Luo Chen nodded slightly. "Welcome to Kamsko--"

He looked at the three people in front of him.

Great, they are all here. Now we don't have to worry about the construction.

"He is really the city lord...so young..." Anmer couldn't help but sigh.

Shana was thinking about something else...

At first, she simply thought that the city lord was an idealist. After all, the content of the letter could make people read that meaning.

After entering the city, her thoughts changed slightly.

Because she did not come alone but brought a whole engineering team with her, Shana received the most information.

She learned a lot from the news.

What concerned her most was the trial that took place in court a few days ago.

It is said that the presiding judge died on the spot...

Shana realized that the other party might not only be an idealist, but also an outstanding leader.

In addition...she just had a new idea about Luo Chen.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Chen greeted them and then came to the table.

He found that the object of the three people's sighs was very familiar to him - it was the plan map he had prepared earlier.

This plan was drawn when Luo Chen first took office as the city lord. It was about the new residential area in the slums.

As a result, it was postponed for various reasons.

It was not until they arrived that the plan was dug out again.

"Lord City Lord! You must have studied architecture or engineering, right?" Anmer asked immediately, "This kind of building is so special - I have never seen anything like it in Terra."

"Indeed." Shana also nodded. "The efficient use of space is truly amazing. Not only that, the steel structure also truly achieves the highest cost-effectiveness."

"Uh...there's no need to praise me like that." Luo Chen coughed twice.

The plan on the table was nothing else but a drawing of a 'tube building' with Ursus characteristics drawn by Luo Chen based on his experiences in his previous life and some systematic modifications.

Another name for the "tube building" is the "Khrushchev building." Its layout is that a long corridor connects many rooms on both sides, and the front and back ends are ventilated, so it looks like a "tube."

When Luo Chen first thought about resettling a large number of people for a long time, this was the first thing that came to his mind.

What's more, he usually likes to watch Japanese dramas and is very interested in the housing situation in Japan in his spare time, so he did some research.

Finally, with the help of the system, I drew a plan like this.

For Anmer, this picture is of such great value.

Look at the unimaginable space utilization, look at the ingenious interior structure... She was sure that even her mentor couldn't draw such a composition.

And...the purpose of this building is not for the rich people, but for the poor people in the slums who have no houses to live in.

In terms of goals alone, it has surpassed all designers.

"This is your first mission." Luo Chen nodded slightly, "I believe you can complete it."

"Our Shana Engineering Team has not yet completed any commission." Shana raised her head, "We will definitely be able to complete the task!"

"I don't doubt your ability." Luo Chen nodded slightly, "Prepare the materials..."

He had a detailed conversation with Shana, and combined with his previous plan, it was not difficult to stably build a slum area.

After the conversation, Shana said goodbye and went to work. Anmaier took away a copy of the architectural design, which she wanted to study carefully.

There was only one figure left in the room...

Mudstone.

"You are not a Sarkaz." The other party spoke. She took off her mask, revealing her face with white hair and red eyes.

Of course, there is also the horn unique to the Sarkaz.

"I'm not a Sarkaz. Where did you hear the rumors?" Luo Chen shook his head. "You didn't say anything just now. Do you want to talk to me alone?"

"....I'm just very interested in your race."

"I'm human."

"We are all human beings... Never mind. I want to ask you what you think about the Sarkaz."

"Sarkaz? I don't have any opinion, but objectively speaking, I have killed quite a few." Luo Chen replied, "Too many people want to kill me. When they are looking for someone, the first thing that comes to their mind is the Sarkaz mercenaries."

"I understand what you mean." Mudstone nodded slightly.

Luo Chen's words may be a bit racist, but they are true.

Sarkaz are distributed throughout this land, and it is an objective fact that they are involved in mercenary business.

"I don't discriminate. I will only kill those who should be killed. Then I will accomplish what I want to accomplish. It's that simple." Luo Chen said easily.

"Who do you think should be killed?"

"Someone who will bring suffering to me, to 'us'." Luo Chen said immediately.

“That’s a lot of people.”

"I don't care. As long as I kill, I will kill them all."

"You're crazier in person than in your letters."

“There are a lot of people crazier than me.”

“........” Mudstone fell silent.

She thought of the old men in the tribe.

The Sarkaz have a long lifespan, and the ancient bloodline of the Gargoyle Tribe is particularly good at this.

Those who have witnessed the glory of the Sarkaz still have that dream - to make Kazdel glorious again!

Little did we know...the world has changed.

Mudstone left Kazdel because of different philosophies, but she realized that the outside world was just like that.

All countries are very conservative, and the tribal elders' attempts to change the Sarkaz's ideas have turned out to be radical and avant-garde.

Of course, if compared with Luo Chen, the other party immediately became conservative again.

Mudstone was certain that Luo Chen was the most radical and craziest one among them.

His actions...will cause dissatisfaction among many people.

Not just Ursus, but the whole world.

........

Just as Mudstone had expected, a big disturbance immediately arose after the investigation team against Ursus returned to Saint Stein Castle.

Various forces confronted each other, and the conflict reached its peak in an instant.

Chapter 108 Imperial Parliament

The Imperial Parliament of Ursus.

The large parliament, which consists of more than one hundred people, has many main responsibilities, including decision-making on national affairs, supervision of the emperor's behavior, major diplomatic affairs...

According to Ursus law, half of the seats in this parliament are appointed by the Ursus emperor, and the other half are elected by various organizations.

After the death of the previous emperor, Feodor ascended the throne.

Being young and hot-tempered, he made many political mistakes. And because of the gap between the old and new emperors, the Imperial Parliament was no longer the same parliament.

At least the rule of 'the emperor appoints half of the seats' has become meaningless.

No! That can't be said.

Because at least in name it still exists.

Those deputies held the documents of Fyodor's father and claimed their legitimacy. However, when Fyodor wanted to deprive them of their seats by relying on the power of the emperor, they demanded the opening of the Imperial Parliament.

After all, all major issues have to be decided by the Imperial Parliament.

And Emperor Ursus could not control the Imperial Parliament.

This is a vicious cycle.

The nobles and officials under his command were secretly disobedient, and power was solidified and could not be centralized.

Even if Fyodor had great ambitions, he would not be able to implement them.

But now...the opportunity has come!

Fyodor acted quickly, and after receiving Gilberto's letter, he realized that his opportunity had come.

He first gave away all the artworks that Luo Chen had sent him.

To Fyodor, these things were just a bunch of waste paper. And he wanted to use these waste papers to seize power!

That’s right, these works of art...can win over some nobles.

New nobility! They are those who obtain their titles through business and capital.

They lack the foundation and are in urgent need of proving their nobility.

At this time, a full collection full of historical value is so important.

Fyodor used these works of art to pry open a small gap among the new nobility and then infiltrate them.

......

When the investigation team returned to Saint Jun Castle, Fedor, who had received the news in advance, detained the investigation team first.

If it were before, his behavior might have caused an uproar.

But the current investigation team no longer has any powerful members in it. Only a few of the original members are left, and the highest position is still held by one of our own people.

Before the Imperial Parliament could figure out the current situation, Fyodor had already asked all the survivors in the investigation team to change their statements to a unified one.

The next day, the members of the Imperial Parliament who had figured out the situation immediately held an emergency meeting.

The content is naturally about the sudden return of the 'Kamsco Investigation Team'.

The survivors of the investigation team took the stage one by one and talked about the wonderful journey they had experienced.

From arriving in Kamsk, to participating in the trial against Luo Chen, to the unexpected death of the presiding judge, and finally to the evacuation and the sudden attack.

The general outline remained the same. Fyodor knew very well that the more he tried to change it, the more mistakes he would make.

So, in the story they told, only one thing changed -

It was not the Steam Knights who attacked the camp, but a group of Ursus soldiers.

"Please look at this photo!" Gilberto shouted at the parliament. "This is the camp where we were attacked. You can see there are many craters..."

"These are all caused by the soldiers who tried to attack us!"

“And this one…”

"Mr. Judge, you should have been buried properly, but your coffin wasn't even blown apart!"

"Half of his head was blown off..."

Gilberto's language was sincere and his emotions were sad, as if he had really suffered a terrible attack.

There was a commotion in the audience.

Some MPs raised questions – “Where are the soldiers who attacked you from?”

Most people had no objection to their statement. After all, in Ursus, the only ones who could cause such an explosion were the regular Ursus army.
