Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Kazdel, the kingdom of the Sarkaz, was annihilated by the multinational coalition forces many years ago, and the Sarkaz fell apart. Now, only a small part of Kazdel's territory remains.

Plus there was the civil war a few years ago.

The interior of Kazdel could be described as a complete mess.

Although the civil war ended with Theresa's death and Tracy's victory, under Tracy's remote rule, Kazdel did not recover much vitality, but instead moved further and further into the abyss.

Speaker Witte immediately said, "Mr. Lu, are you sure you want to go to Kazdel?"

"Of course, I'm not questioning your strength. I know that even if you go to Kazdel, no one will be your opponent, but..."

"Kazdel himself is a thorn in the side of the Terran nations..."

"Its chaos is what the Terran nations want to see. Once it is no longer chaotic and begins to develop peacefully, it will once again become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Terran nations... By then, I'm afraid that you, Mr. Lu..."

This is what Speaker Witte is worried about.

After all, the Sarkaz have had an indelible contradiction with any other ethnic group since ancient times. The core point is that the Sarkaz are naturally stronger than ordinary people, more suitable for combat, and more talented in Originium skills.

Moreover, many Sarkaz are extremely cruel and tyrannical, especially the Blood Demon, who is even more notorious. Even so, many of the Sarkaz mercenaries who are wandering around enjoy war and killing.

Such a population, coupled with their own extremely strong magical talent, makes it difficult for other countries to not be on guard.

If anyone takes the initiative to develop Kazdel, it would be equivalent to becoming an enemy of the most powerful countries in Terra, the most typical of which are Victoria and Letania.

"Chairman Witte is worried that I'm against the world?"

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Speaker Witte sighed, as if in agreement.

Not only did Speaker Witte want to stop it, but the patriot who had been sitting behind Lu Yuan and had not said much also spoke up at this time.

"Mr. Lu...you...don't go to Kazdel..."

"A place of trouble...a place abandoned by many nations...you can't..."

The others didn't know Kazdel, so they didn't say anything.

The only two people who understood were worried that Lu Yuan would get involved in this mess and be accused of evil. Once he was accused, he would never be able to wash away the blame...

Faced with the two people's suggestions.

Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, I don't think so."

"I used to know that some Sarkaz are indeed extremely brutal, such as the Blood Demons, especially the Blood Demon Lord's lineage, but the Sarkaz I know are far from being brutal."

"Mr. Patriot, you are a Sarkaz, you are also a pure-blooded Wendigo, but you are able to fight for Ursus and become the backbone of the Infected for the Integration Movement."

"I've communicated with many of the Sarkaz mercenaries within the Reunion Movement. I've discovered they aren't as brutal as the rumors say. Most, if not all, of them were forced into mercenary service. They all want to return to their homeland, but they have no other options."

"I've been to Rhodes Island and met countless Sarkaz."

"I think...only by truly setting foot on this land and truly seeing it with your own eyes can you discover its true full picture, rather than being distorted by rumors."

"Isn't this exactly like the rumors out there that the infected are the incarnation of the devil?"

Lu Yuan said a lot.

The Patriot and Speaker Witte both fell silent.

That's right.

How could Speaker Witte not know that the so-called universal brutality of the Sarkaz was just an additional crime. Every species has its peace-loving and brutal ones, just like humans. The brutality of the old nobles in Ursus even surpassed that of the Sarkaz.

If the level of brutality is really used to define whether one is a demon or not, then the old aristocrats are the real demons.

Actually.

The main reason is that the individual talents of the Sarkaz are too strong, their strength is too strong, their population is too large, their strange abilities are too diverse, and their lifespan is generally too long.

Because of this.

The other countries are afraid of the peaceful development of the Sarkaz. Once the Sarkaz develop a little, they need to be eliminated immediately to avoid threatening themselves.

"For me, my dream is simply to ensure that ordinary poor people in the world can have enough to eat, regardless of their species. If I avoid the Sarkaz and Kazdel directly because of this, then does my ideal still have any practical purpose?"

"Besides, I don't want to get involved in any international affairs. This is all I want to do."

"If someone wants to make an enemy of me because of this, then I don't mind having one more enemy, even if it's an enemy at the national level."

Lu Yuan's words were quite decisive and domineering, and he had lost his usual easygoing demeanor. The gleaming light in his determined eyes made Speaker Witte dare not look directly at him.

Afraid?

Lu Yuan is not afraid of these.

Even if I don't go to Kazdel.

Doesn’t Lu Yuan know that he has long been a thorn in the eyes and throats of many countries?

Besides, Lu Yuan was not afraid of them at all.

Even if you send out thousands of troops.

Lu Yuan didn't even blink.

"Hey..."

Speaker Witte sighed heavily.

"In that case..."

"I respect Mr. Lu's opinion."

Then, Speaker Witte glanced at Emperor Fyodor, who nodded and stood up from the throne, answering firmly with an swearing gesture.

"No matter what the future holds."

"Mr. Lu has done a great favor to my Ursus. I know that Mr. Lu is a simple person and does not care about official positions. Although I have not granted Mr. Lu any official positions, Mr. Lu, your status in Ursus will always be transcendent."

"Similarly, Ursus will always stand by Mr. Lu's side, no matter what. Even if Terra becomes an enemy of Mr. Lu, Ursus will always stand by Mr. Lu."

"I swear in the name of Emperor Ursus that Ursus and I will never break the promise we made to Mr. Lu!"

Fyodor said this very solemnly.

The moment Fyodor finished speaking.

The core nobles and officials of the peace faction immediately stood up and followed their majesty to take the oath.

This is also the direction that Fyodor chose to stand.

He had a hunch.

No matter when, if Lu Yuan is available, it is right to choose Lu Yuan. This is not a multiple-choice question, but a single-choice question. The answer is clearly written on the face. Not choosing is the greatest stupidity.

Lu Yuan looked at Emperor Fyodor, who was extremely serious at the moment, and couldn't help laughing.

"Then I thank you very much, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Fyodor was in an extremely good mood and waved his hands with a smile.

"Come on, let's go to the banquet hall and eat and talk! Someone, come on! Someone, serve the food!"

This banquet showed how much thought the chefs and the staff put into it. They served almost all the specialties of Ursus, from traditional to modern, while ensuring both the quantity and variety. The overall experience was quite satisfying.

During the banquet, officials ate and chatted, and took turns to toast Lu Yuan. Basically, Lu Yuan nodded at them, or took a sip, and they drank it all.

This celebration-like banquet lasted for a long time, from noon until around two o'clock in the afternoon when it barely ended.

Not only were many of the pro-peace nobles drunk, but even Fyodor was tipsy.

After all, he has been feeling depressed for so many years, and today he finally has the chance to release it, so how can he not enjoy it?

Finally, after the banquet, the only sober people in the entire banquet hall were Speaker Witte, Lu Yuan and Tallulah.

Speaker Witte helped Emperor Fyodor back to his bedroom, and the rest of the noble officials were also helped back home by their subordinates.

As soon as the officials and the emperor left, Lu Yuan invited Tallulah and the other three to go to the Civilian Food Conference together, and the four of them readily agreed.

After leaving the palace completely...

The mouths of the people in Tallulah seemed to be untied, and they began to talk to Lu Yuan non-stop.

"As expected of Xiao Yuan, the Emperor of Ursus has to be respectful in front of Xiao Yuan."

Tallulah looked at Lu Yuan beside her and couldn't help but say.

Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "Ah, it's just that His Majesty is respectful and courteous to me, and he gives me enough respect."

When Shuang Xing heard this, she immediately turned her head and glanced at Lu Yuan, her eyes seeming to say, do you believe what you said?

"But... I didn't expect His Majesty... to give Reunion... and us... such preferential treatment..."

The patriot, who had been silent for a long time, spoke word by word.

Lu Yuan shook his head, disagreeing with the patriot's point of view.

"Mr. Patriot, you are wrong."

"This is not preferential treatment, this is exactly what you deserve."

"You have followed the late emperor in his campaigns and have made great achievements. These positions are what you deserve."

A group of people walked on the bustling streets of Saint Jun Castle. They did not choose to take a car, but took the opportunity to visit the street scenes of Saint Jun Castle.

Because of this.

Lu Yuan and his four-member group were quite conspicuous on the bustling streets of downtown Saint Junburg.

Especially the Patriot's power armor, more than two meters tall, and his body like an iron tower attracted the attention of almost everyone around him.

of course.

It also attracted the attention of many patrolmen. They looked at Lu Yuan and his four companions warily. However, when they approached to ask them something, something started to ring in their headphones.

The next second, the faces of these patrolmen changed drastically, turning an ugly ashen color. They immediately turned around and walked away. They were so fast that they were all glad that they did not act rashly.

While the Patriot was communicating with Lu Yuan, Frost Star looked around with her lively eyes. It was the first time for Frost Star to step into a bustling city and also the first time for her to slowly appreciate the modern skyscrapers, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Mr. Patriot, think about it. Old nobles like Duke Baikal and Duke Reina, have their achievements been half as great as yours? Or even one-tenth as great as yours?"

"They can all sit on the throne of dukes, comfortably occupy a seat in the Imperial Parliament, and control the army. They are all content with it, so why can't you?"

Lu Yuan was persuading the patriots. After all, he also hoped that the patriots could get what they deserved. Even if it was too late now, at least there was a chance.

Although the Patriot usually says that he doesn't care, in fact, the shield guards all know that the Patriot must care.

"Also, Mr. Patriot, don't forget that the shield guards under you are still dreaming of becoming small officers. If you take the position of commander, the shield guards below will also benefit from it."

Frost Star also nodded: "Yes, father, and Xiaota, I think His Majesty's suggestion is still good."

Alina nodded in agreement. "Xiaota, Mr. Patriot, I think... the best state for the Integration Movement is to integrate into society, provide protection for the infected, serve as their backers, and allow the infected to have a place and a voice in this society."

“That’s truly the best outcome.”

"If you refuse, we can, with your majesty's assistance, repair the abandoned mobile city-state and build a city where only infected people live. This may be okay now, but what about the future?"

"Human life is ultimately limited. When we pass away and contact is severed, will new conflicts and struggles erupt between the infected and the Empire?"

"I suggest that a city-state with only infected people is just a compromise when there is no other way. It only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. The only way to solve the problem is to truly join forces and achieve mutual understanding."

Alina's analysis was well-reasoned, and this was exactly what Lu Yuan wanted to say.

The reason why Tallulah hesitated was that she was worried that the Integration Movement would be targeted after integrating into society, so it would be better for her to run away. However, Alina's words made Tallulah's heart move again.

Lu Yuan could only make suggestions, and the final decision would be made by Tallulah and Patriot.

Volume 1: Chapter 161 The Trial Begins

After a few days of thinking and pondering.

Tallulah finally decided to accept Emperor Fyodor's proposal, inherit the title of Duke of Koschei, and join the Imperial Parliament to speak for the infected.

This is also the best method that Talulah can think of. Only after she has a certain amount of power and voice in the empire can she ensure the rights and interests of the infected people from beginning to end.

It can even allow the infected person to completely integrate into this society and become a person no different from ordinary people.

After Tallulah figured it out, the Patriots also figured it out after being persuaded by Frost Star and agreed to Emperor Fedor's proposal.

At the same time, he also wanted to take a look.

What is this new Ursus like now?

of course.
