Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Choosing the Sarkaz is basically equivalent to drawing a dividing line with other countries, which is not worth the loss no matter how you look at it.

"Yes, he told me so himself before I left."

Kal'tsit believed that this was Zhang Miao's undisguised declaration of his own ambitions. He hoped to obtain a sufficiently strong and loyal army through this means.

But it has to be said that this is indeed very feasible.

But after listening to Kal'tsit's opinion, the doctor pondered for a moment and quickly denied her statement.

"Judging from the power he has shown so far, the power of the Sarkaz is not necessary for him. I am more inclined to believe that it was the good impression that Mr. Bozhukasti gave him that made him focus on the Sarkaz."

"As for other countries' views on this matter... he probably didn't take it to heart from the beginning. In his eyes, the Sarkaz are no different from Caster."

Not to mention that Zhang Miao didn't take these people seriously, even the doctor himself looked down on the current rulers who were firmly in power.

From Agor's Deep Sea Church to Grand Duke Victoria, each and every one of them is nothing more than a puppet controlled by desire, immersed in the beautiful dream of self-delusion.

He gets angry when talking about the Deep Sea Church.

Those damn stinking *****

Because of their mess, the biggest card in the doctor's hand was directly destroyed.

"Don't you care what other countries think? Mr. Zhang is really a man who does what he wants."

Theresa has no ill feelings towards such people. If everyone could treat each other equally, there would not be so many disputes in the world.

"Theresa, this is what I'm worried about. His existence has already broken the balance and is out of control. Unless we can make those beast masters compromise, we have no ability to fight him."

Years of experience have made Kal'tsit extremely sensitive to this kind of force that can easily destroy the balance, and she subconsciously used the confrontational mentality against Zhang Miao.

"But from what I heard, the residents of that city seem to be living well. The living environment sounds just like Rutland, and they are willing to accept everyone. If everyone can live under such conditions, then why try to control each other, Kal'tsit."

Kal'tsit did not directly respond to Theresa's question, but looked at the Doctor. As an immortal who has walked on this land for ten thousand years, she has seen too much betrayal and ugliness in human nature. Choosing to believe Zhang Miao is equivalent to placing the survival of the race on the other person's personal sense of morality, which is an extremely dangerous and irresponsible practice.

Kal'tsit felt that she was not qualified to advise others to make such a choice, so she wanted to hear the doctor's opinion.

The doctor crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him. His emotions could not be seen under the dark mask, but the two knew that this was his habitual action when he was thinking.

When he woke up, Precious had disappeared, most likely having gone to carry out the final step of her plan. His colleagues in the laboratory had made their choice, and now he was the only individual in the world who could still be called a human being.

lonely.

Even in the center of a crowded mobile city, he felt extremely lonely, as if there was a sad and thick barrier between him and this seemingly prosperous world.

The only motivation that keeps him alive is his past responsibility. This is the mistake they made, and it is the responsibility he must bear as an orphan of humanity.

Now he suddenly finds that there is an individual in this world who is suspected to be his compatriot. Even though the origin may be a little strange, it still makes him feel quite emotional.

"Kelsey, I think I can trust him."

"This is not out of personal feelings. For someone who possesses the top productivity in the interstellar era, even a portion of the productivity is enough to easily bear all the current population consumption of Terra. Material needs have no meaning to him."

"As for the desire for power, I also don't think that the current Terra can arouse his interest. And based on what you described, he should still have a fairly high moral standard."

“This is an excellent collaborator in every way.”

"The most important thing is that we need his strength, and it is not unacceptable to make appropriate concessions on this basis."

The two of them considered the doctor's answer, and Theresa quickly took over the topic.

"I think what the doctor said makes sense. Although I don't quite understand the things in the Star Age, I believe that a person who is willing to accept the infected and the Sarkaz and treat them equally will not succumb to his own desires."

"And don't forget, Kal'tsit. If the other party has malicious intentions, I can't hide it from you."

The devil's ability is so unreasonable. It can sense emotions, absorb emotions, and transmit emotions. Although it is not as direct and convenient as Sakota's empathy, it is better in terms of diverse functions and knowledge inheritance.

"But I can't leave here right now, so I suggest that we temporarily arrange a team to go to that city again and use equipment to record the situation there. After all, a solid video is worth a thousand words."

"And I believe in Bozhuocasti. Although we didn't spend a long time together, I still remember his resistance to the civil war when he left. He is not a person who would deceive his compatriots."

Looking at the two people who had already voted in favor, Kal'tsit knew that she had to let go of her past stubbornness.

"Okay, but who should we arrange to go? I have some things to do in the next period of time."

She had to hurry to inform the penguin, what if it let the secret slip? And if she rushed back in such a short time, it would expose their impatience and they would easily be at a disadvantage during the negotiations.

But it is even less likely that the two people in front of them will leave. Theresa is the core of the team and the main combat force. As a demon king, she is more powerful than a lord of the royal court alone, so she can't leave at all. The doctor is also the commander. If he leaves, the front line here may collapse soon.

The three of them suddenly realized that they couldn't leave.

If someone else is to be sent, that person must be absolutely loyal and smart enough. He doesn't have to be very strong, but he must know how to adapt to changing circumstances.

......

"Let W go."

Hearing this name, Kal'tsit looked at Theresa as if she had seen a ghost.

"Are you serious?"

Wouldn't it be purely destructive to the relationship between the two parties if we let that guy pass?

But if you think about it carefully, W seems to be quite loyal to Theresa, and basically meets all the requirements except for his bad temper.

But she seemed to be born to be incompatible with other people, especially Kal'tsit. She would always be sarcastic and mocking whenever they met.

"Well, I hope you won't regret it."

Helpless Kal'tsit held her forehead with her hand. She didn't dare to imagine what the scene would be like if W went there.

Chapter 20: Theresa

"Huh??? I'm going to Ursus? Kal'tsit, you old woman, you must have Alzheimer's disease. You actually want me to leave at this time. Could it be that you have hidden an illegitimate child there and want me to help find it?"

"Hahaha, maybe I'll bring you a bunch of fragments or an urn!"

I knew it

Kal'tsit looked at the short-haired Sarkaz girl who was very close to her. The two red-dyed hairs swayed along with her arrogant laughter, like two tentacles.

However, her emotions were not affected by W's words.

Especially W's bad temper. The more you care about her, the happier she will be. Ignoring her will make her feel bored and switch to the next target.

The only person who can subdue her is Theresa.

"W, stop fooling around. The mission you are going to Ursus on this time is very important."

A gentle and capable voice came from behind Kal'tsit. W immediately walked around Kal'tsit after hearing it.

“Your Highness, how can you let me leave your side at this critical moment? What city? Maybe it’s just an illusion that Kal’tsit, that old woman, got lost on the ice field and had Alzheimer’s disease and her eyes were blurry!”

She didn't want to leave Theresa's side and run to the frozen land of snow and ice to look for a city.

"W, this matter is extremely important to us, I believe you can accomplish it."

Theresa gave an unquestionable order. Although she seemed to be a gentle woman, she was actually a very tough and decisive person. Once she gave an order, she had to carry it out to the end.

However, W did not show any disgust after receiving the order. Instead, his cheeks turned slightly red, his fingers clenched, and his two slender legs unconsciously came together, as if he had gained some great satisfaction in life.

"I...I understand. I will definitely be able to complete your highness's mission and will not return empty-handed like someone else."

Although W appears to be crazy, sharp-tongued and destructive on the surface, Theresa knows that she is actually very calm inside, flexible in her work, insightful, and well-planned, and there are very few tasks that she cannot complete.

She placed the bracelet that Kal'tsit brought back in W's palm.

"If you find something wrong, don't stop and come back immediately."

This thing has been checked by Kal'tsit and the Doctor. Although many of the basic components inside are different from the Originium technology they are currently using, judging from its functions, it should be just a disguised personal terminal and is not dangerous.

After seeing the documents brought by Kal'tsit, W knew that this mission was of great significance. Before, he was just mocking Kal'tsit out of habit.

"Don't worry, I have to hurry back to His Highness. Even if there are any monsters blocking my way, I will blow them to pieces with bombs."

After completing the necessary matters, W left Rhodes Island.

"It would be much easier if that disgusting couple were here..."

Theresa and the other two stood on the deck, watching the SUV going away, muttering to themselves:

"New Kazdel... Heh, what an interesting person."

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, judging from the few words he said to Kal'tsit, his attitude was very clear.

"Theresa, if we choose him, we will have to face the Ursus army head-on."

"Kal'tsit, isn't Ursus standing against us now?"

"Whether it's me or Tracys who wins the final victory, as long as we want to rebuild Kazdel, it's only a matter of time before we face siege again. Since someone is willing to help us, why not face Ursus in advance?"

Perhaps other countries would be worried about going to war with Ursus. After all, their notoriety was earned through fighting, and almost all the well-known countries around them have been visited by the Ursus army.

But Kazdel doesn't know that, or it can be said that few Sarkaz know what fear is. In terms of cruelty, Ursus may not be able to compare with Sarkaz.

Although everyone dislikes the demons, no one has ever questioned the efficiency and loyalty of the Sarkaz mercenaries. As long as you pay them, they will not step back even if you ask them to kill the Witch King.

Using a Kazdel to bribe them is a price that is enough to make countless Sarkaz fight for it.

Of course, they cannot be counted as the Ten Kings’ Courts, as there are several extremely unstable guys among them, and their personalities are considered extremely brutal even among their own tribe.

These people have always been the biggest stumbling block for Theresa to achieve her goals.

It was not until W's car disappeared on the horizon that the doctor finally spoke.

"I always feel that that person may come here in the near future, or even be on the way now."

His words quickly aroused Kelsey's objection.

"They just had a conflict with Ursus and should be fully preparing for war now. Why would they come to Kazdel? This place is thousands of kilometers away, and there are countless Ursus checkpoints in between. Even if they came, we don't have the energy to help them."

The Doctor did not reply. His previous thought was just a momentary guess. He just felt that the other party's words to Kal'tsit were not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but were well planned.

"But no matter what, this civil war will continue."

Theresa sighed softly. She had originally wanted to use a suicide scene to stop the civil war, but she didn't expect that the news Kal'tsit brought back would make her choose to continue the war.

She felt the war-weariness of both sides, whether enemy or friend.

She only hoped that their choice now was the right one. She would continue to bear the blood debt of countless compatriots. If she could not recover Kazdel, these sacrifices would be meaningless, and even she would not be able to forgive herself.

The power of the Demon King is both a gift and a responsibility. Those who bear this title must shoulder the burden of the race's progress, and choosing a new path requires tremendous courage and sacrifice.

Looking towards the surrounding areas of Rhodes Island, the sky of Kazdel is always grey, it is the smoke of gunpowder that will never dissipate for thousands of years.

New houses were built on the ruins of the past, but they were soon destroyed by war. Layers of old and new ruins filled the field of vision, and countless Sarkaz corpses were buried inside.

This reminded Theresa of an old saying from Da Yan.

Karma is a cycle, retribution is inevitable

This is the debt owed by the ancestors of Tikaz, and their descendants must repay it with their blood and lives. I wonder how many more people will die in the future.

Kal'tsit felt the sadness in Theresa's heart. There were not many people she could consider as her close friends, or rather, there was only one person in front of her.

But words of comfort were unnecessary. Theresa knew what she was doing and she was never a weak person.

Feeling the depressing atmosphere surrounding Rhodes Island due to the defeat in the war, Theresa folded her hands over her heart.

“May the deceased rest in peace.”

Chapter 21: Wei Yanwu! I’m so hot!

Longmen

It is a dynamic mobile city-state, famous all over the world.

Everyone who has been to Longmen praises it highly.

They claimed: the economy there is developed and there is gold everywhere. As long as you work hard enough, you can always find a place there. As long as you have talent, you can always find a suitable place to exercise your revenge.

It is Dayan's window to the world and the commercial logistics center of Terra. The business scope of major logistics companies in Longmen covers almost the entire Terra. Its docking station is always open 24 hours a day, and the caravans coming and going bring goods from all over the world. The annual throughput here is as high as hundreds of millions of tons.

And today, this city that never sleeps welcomed a new guest.

"Zhang Miao, there are so many people here."

Yelena, who was wearing casual clothes, stuck her long ears out of the carriage window and looked at the dense crowd coming and going, her two gray pupils full of shock.

This city was completely different from where they lived, with densely packed buildings, skyscrapers stretching as far as the eye could see, and inspection points at the city gates with so much traffic that there was almost no room to move.

Even the several Ursus mobile cities that Yelena had visited before were far inferior to this place.
