We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

"Those Sakaz mercenaries who are out there don't want to stay in Kazdale and live a hard life. I have no way to control them. If Mr. Witte wants to hire them, it would be better to go directly to those Sakaz."

"oh, I see……"

Witte nodded regretfully. Mercenaries are not state-sponsored troops with political stances. They can be hired by Witte, but naturally they may also be bribed by infected people.

At the end of the talks, both parties signed a treaty under the witness of Sakota.The next day, Ursus's transport ship arrived at Kazdel, unloaded the designated number of equipment, loaded it with military source stones, and headed directly to the front line of the Ursus war.

The exchanged Ursus equipment was not rushed to be distributed to the soldiers, but was sent to Kazdare's factory.

As soon as they saw the neatly packed Ursus equipment in service, Zeppelin and other old Sakaz craftsmen immediately jumped on it with excitement, their eyes were like those of hungry wolves after seeing sheep.

They took off various items such as shields, helmets, breastplates... and took them aside for various tests.

Mel also curiously came over to observe. Although Ursus pursues the Continental Army policy and likes to form extremely large corps and use massive numbers of soldiers to overwhelm the enemy's resistance, their technical weapons are also good, and the designs are everywhere. Contains actual experience of war.

She took Ursus's artillery guidance drone. After a simple disassembly and test, she found that its internal structure was compact and ingenious. Its appearance was not large and easy to conceal, but it had full functions. It could be used for reconnaissance or as a communication relay. point.

If these things are exciting, then another thing sealed in a small box can make people's blood flow high.

Ursus' mortar!

The small metal tube and tripod were lying quietly in the box, next to the extra Originium shells, two of which had been taken out.

Teresica established a special working group, composed of old craftsmen from Sarkaz, the Absolver, and the Banshee, to study this Source Stone shell.After Meier completes the drone design work at hand, he will also join this working group.

Military equipment matters require a lot of professional skills to understand. Teresica doesn't understand it himself, and he doesn't intend to give blind orders. He focuses on the production of civilian equipment.

In order to earn rubles as foreign exchange, Teresica had to send most of the civilian utensils produced by Kazdel to the Ursus market for sale.

With the dual support of the assembly line production volume and the low-tax license provided by Witte, Kazdel's business of selling various civilian artifacts has become extremely popular in Ursus.Production capacity continues to expand but there have been no competitors because it cannot meet the demand gap of Ursus!What was signed before was a commercial trade agreement, but now it has become a unilateral export of Kazdaele.

A large amount of rubles flowed into Kazdaele, and Teresica established Kazdaele's Ministry of Finance and Bank, as well as the National Planning Commission, to uniformly manage and allocate this fund and the important needs of domestic parties.The daily necessities that the people of Sakaz had been in short supply soon improved greatly.Industrial construction also received a substantial boost.

After getting a bargain, Teresica did not forget to sell well and ordered the sales staff to promote to customers that it was thanks to the Crown Prince's opening of trade that the people of Ursus could buy such affordable daily necessities.

The Crown Prince's reputation among the people has increased significantly, and he also conveyed goodwill to Teresica through Witte. He said that Kazdel could buy away the infected miners in the Ursus mine at a cheaper price.

The Sakaz's year-end festival is approaching. The Kazdaele Royal Court announced that it will provide heating and food subsidies to all Sakaz families during the New Year's Day. All general positions across the country will have a day off. Special and necessary positions will have one day off in batches after the festival. .

Just when all the Sakaz were preparing to celebrate the first peaceful and peaceful New Year after years of war, Teresica did not stay in Kazdaele. He faced the wind and snow in the northern Ursus ice field and stepped into a Inside the mine.

In addition to the Sakaz soldiers he brought with him, there was also a chubby Ursus. This bear was the purchasing assistant sent by the crown prince. He was looking at him with a flattering expression.

"Sir, which one do you like? I'll ask the guards to catch it for you."

Chapter 34 I will follow you forever

In the bitterly cold winter, the miners in the Ursus Origin Stone Mine work in the open air wearing thin clothes.

Teresica wore thick and warm clothes and walked around the mining area casually. The eyes of the people around her were frequently directed here, but to be more precise, they should be directed at the clothes on his body.

However, that's all these people could do, because he was accompanied by a large group of mine guards and heavily armed Sakaz soldiers.

"Sir, this is freshly roasted animal meat. Do you want to try it?"

"Oh, thank you."

Teresica picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted really good. The intertwined aroma of oil and spices drifted along the cold wind, causing the miners around to stare at it, their eyes full of longing.

A woman from the Carters tribe seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and sneaked closer to this side. She was very abrupt among the working miners.

The person in charge of the mine noticed this scene, but he was also observing Teresica's face. After finding that she had no expression, he also watched silently.

Maybe this is the big shot's 'hunting entertainment'.

The white-haired Carters walked over blankly while staring at the meat. Teresica looked at her and picked up a piece without thinking too much.

"Want to eat?"

She nodded, and Teresica also handed the piece of meat forward.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed it. Not only that, she poured all the meat on the plate into her clothes, grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Teresica, and then ran quickly into the crowd.

"Sir, you..."

The person in charge handed over a towel. He did not take the initiative to do anything, but waited here for instructions.This is what he summed up from his experience in serving many big shots who came to the mine to have fun.If these guys don't open their mouths, don't do anything randomly, lest they spoil others' interest.

"Oh, she took so much meat at once, she will vomit it out after eating it."

Teresica wiped the snowflakes off her face casually, and the person in charge nodded.

"Yes, sir, you are right. But she probably didn't eat it herself. She is the king of children in this mine, and she should have been robbed by those brats."

"Get her."

"Yes."

The guard ran out with the hunting dog, and soon brought back Carters, whose clothes were all stained with oil. She was very obedient, with no sign of resistance on her body, and the corners of her mouth were clean and not shiny at all.

"Have you accepted your fate?"

"What I have to do has been completed. It is my last wish to allow Anton and the others to take a bite of animal meat before drawing black lots."

The white-haired Carters stood in the snow, his eyes very calm.

Teresica knows what it means to draw black lots in the Usas mine. It means that the miners will be buried in the excavated mine pits, and there will also be some white lots among the black lots. The miners who are lucky enough to draw it will be exempted. Once you die, you will be sent to other mines, but in the end you will either die on the road or in a new mine.

"Want to live?"

"It doesn't matter, what does it have to do with you?"

"I've got some money, and I'm here to find some tool guys."

Teresica looked at Carters and said, "What do you know? If I can use it, I will buy you."

"No need, it would be a pleasure to die today."

"OK then."

Teresica nodded and looked at the person in charge, "I heard the sound of the transport ship. Let's not waste time. Let's start selecting people."

.........

"Everyone, gather in the center of the mine!"

The guards shouted and drove them with whips. There were not only men among the miners, but also many old, weak, women and children. They cried and hugged each other.

"Today is the day to draw black lots, but this Lady Teresica has decided to buy you, feel lucky! All the chosen ones can leave here!"

Next to the hollowed-out mine, Sakaz set up a screening checkpoint. They took the files of the miners when they were thrown in and matched them one by one on the spot.

All children aged over 5 and under 14 years old, with moderate infection or less, and with sound limbs, will be taken away.Teachers, craftsmen, doctors and other professionals, I and my immediate family members will all be taken away. As for the rest...

The Ursus guards standing aside would drag that person out of the queue and throw him into another queue whenever they saw the Sakaz screener shaking his head.At the end of this side is a hollowed-out mine, which is full of Originium crystal clusters. There is only one end if you fall into it.

The screening team moved forward slowly, and those who passed the screening hugged each other with their families and cried with joy.Those who failed shouted with all their strength, wanting to come back and try again. The desire to survive smeared the faces of these miners into a ferocious look. There were also some people who came in with their children, holding their children high, hoping to selected.But there is only one result waiting for them.

Teresica could see and hear everything in front of him. He could keep a tense expression on his face, but he couldn't kill the fluctuations in his heart.

In the past, in Kazdaele, the cousin and sister fought for the throne and started a civil war, which resulted in the death of Kazdaele.The reason why he could stay at home and stay away from world affairs was because there was such a sharp knife like the throne on top of his head. He didn't want to get involved between his cousin and sister, and then become a piece of rotten flesh lying on the ground.

He had been playing games to show his cousin and sister that he was harmless and non-threatening.

But when his cousin and sister disappeared, and the sharp blade above his head disappeared, he could no longer ignore everything in Kazdel, and he sat on the throne.

But now, it seems to be back to the state of 18 years ago.The most intuitive feeling in his heart is telling himself that people should not be treated like this, and he has the ability to buy them all.But can I buy it?

Faced with this choice, Kazdel became a new sharp blade, hanging above his head.

Kazdale’s own infant mortality rate remains high. Would he buy it back to compete with his own people for medical resources?Severely infected people cannot work and are extremely dangerous to themselves. Why buy them back?And the source stones you buy from them are not picked up!

Teresica turned around and stopped looking at the scene in front of her, but at this moment.

【boom--】

In the white snow, a piece of red suddenly spread on the ground. It was Luper's head, and the one who smashed it was Carters, whom he had seen once before.Behind her, there were a group of children with sound limbs but large chunks of Originium crystals on their bodies.

A group of people surrounded her with evil intentions, their faces full of violence.They are all people who cannot be chosen. Before they die, they plan to vent their destructive desires caused by being oppressed by the guards.

Carters couldn't stand it alone. She was not among the chosen ones. It would be sooner or later that she died here, but she didn't want to see the group of children behind her who called her big sister every day lying here forever.

"Hey! I can read! I...I can cook! I can mend clothes! I eat very little!"

Carters shouted, she saw the figure, "Buy me! These children are also good at work!"

"What do you know? It's not these things. The price now is different from the first time I asked you."

He narrowed his eyes and said that those who can bring relatives are professionals. What she said is not what he considers professionals.

"I...I...I can fight!"

Carters suddenly dropped the stick in his hand and raised his hand to face the person in front of him.

The wind direction suddenly changed at this moment, and the temperature seemed to be colder than before.

Teresica opened his eyes, and he saw the cold air gathering in Carters' palm, and an ice crystal gradually formed.

The next second, a person who wanted to take advantage of the situation had a bloody hole in his chest. The impact of the flying ice crystals did not diminish, and they crashed into a low room, causing a burst of masonry debris.

Carters knelt in the snow, her whole body curled up in pain. The children behind her were also crying for her to stop, but she did not stop.

The second ice crystal shot out and the second person fell, which frightened anyone who wanted to vent violence.But she also fell down, and her body was twitching slightly because of pain.

But she didn't forget it. She squeezed her throat as hard as she could and made a faint sound.

"Buy them... they eat very little... they are very capable of working..."

"You are indeed worth buying. Your Origin Stone skills are good. These children can also be brought with you."

He walked over, looked at Carters in front of him and said, "I will let you wear enough clothes, eat enough meals, and give you some medicine for ore disease."

"is it?"

Carters' eyes were distracted, but he opened his eyes wide as if he wanted to see clearly, "You... you can do anything you want me to do, I will follow you forever."

explanatory chapter

Open a single chapter to explain some of the more talked about issues.

The first is the timeline. The original timeline of the end of the Civil War and the plot of the Doctor were too close. There was only three years to do anything. So I moved forward the end of the Kazdaele Civil War and the appearance of some characters. . (I put a layer of armor on Chapter 1 and said that this is a world that is highly similar to Arknights)

Then there is the issue of education at the beginning, mentioned in Chapter 6.

One of the driving forces behind the protagonist's rise to power was seeing that little Sacáz could only speak the Colombian language. This was what impressed him the most. If he had power the next day, he would naturally think of this as the first thing he wanted to do. Time was too tight. The feeling of leaving behind was too strong.

Then there are many people who say this is wrong. I won’t say this conclusion for now. Let me first talk about what is under the protagonist’s hands?They can probably be regarded as a group of patriarchs from the feudal period.Will they give him a blow on the head when he just takes office?This is definitely not possible, not to mention that this is Sakaz who obeys the royal family.

The plot I arranged in the article is that after each clan leader expressed his intention, the order continued to be executed.But when it comes to the level of the people who have real food and clothing problems, the real results come out, in Chapter 19.

I wrote clearly that there are not many children to go to, and the family still has to be productive! (I guess some people can’t see this, so I’ll sort it out for those who see it)

Then there are chapters 25,26 and [-].This brings a high level of fighting spirit.

Dear gentlemen!This is different from us!You can’t just apply it mechanically!

I checked the map of Arknights and Rutland is three times the size of Kazdaele!Three times!Moreover, after Sakaz fought a foreign war, he fought a civil war for three years, and the domestic war was in a mess. Any casualties on both sides of Traces and Theresia were Sakaz's casualties.And did Rutland have anything to lose?

At the time when this kind of civil war just ended, Rutland was larger than Kazdaele, and the population was probably smaller than that of Rutland. In all aspects of the country, Rutland was definitely better. As for the international environment, it goes without saying. Now, I don’t know if I can help Sakota, but I definitely won’t help you Sakaz.

In this case, the protagonist wants to restore peaceful relations. For the current Rutland, he is an enemy who is weaker than me and has a grudge against me. Let's call it a truce.

The plot I arranged is that the Pope agrees to restore peace, but how to do this must be consistent with the Pope's identity.

He asked the protagonist to go in person. This was to give himself face, otherwise it would appear that he was not good enough.After gaining face, his condition can be passed by simply expressing it.

And the protagonist uses weakness to gain strength, so you still have to ask others to be magnanimous?Take care of your dignity?Do you think everyone is us?

If you want to start a fight at this time, you win every battle but lose the war in the end. Is this useful?

Finally, let me ask, where did you find the description of the Blood Demon King's combat power?I really didn't find it.You say he can do it alone, but I really have no idea. Did I miss some settings? ? ?I'll make it up tonight, could you please give me some directions? ! !

Chapter 35 The next generation

The Holy Castle, the capital of Ursus, is sacrosanct to all the people of Ursus.And located in the center of this mobile city is the imperial palace, the center of power of the empire.

This place is guarded by soldiers of the elite Ursus Guards. Anyone who intrudes will be killed by them, but today is different. Someone has given them instructions and they do not have to react in any way to the scene in front of them.

The two old men in ordinary clothes slowly passed the guard post. Under the watch of the soldiers, they went deep into the palace, walked through various gorgeous buildings, and finally came to a room surrounded by all kinds of luxurious things, but the interior was... Extremely simple room entrance.

"Let them in."

The soldiers guarding the wooden door stepped aside and the two old men walked into the room. They could directly see a wide terrace with only a lonely deck chair and an old man lying on it.
