People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

So after Tallulah changed the promotional details, more infected people came to Canaan."

The Town Hall is just a matter of front or back from the Town Square. While listening to Alina's explanation, everyone had already entered the Town Hall.

"But relying on our own strength to spread the word is still far from enough. If we could directly broadcast Canaan's policies to other mobile cities, I believe the number of infected people coming to us would increase.

However, no matter how you think about it, this is an impossible request. After all, the uniqueness of Canaan makes communication with other mobile cities our biggest problem."

"If I had known earlier when I was negotiating with the emperor, I should have added an extra channel dedicated to your publicity."

He recalled the things he had gained by breaking into the Castle of the Holy Horse and confronting the Emperor and Islam. The Emperor's promise had given him the legal status of Tallulah and the Integration Movement, as well as a city for the infected. But this was not enough. There were still many obstacles waiting for them in the future development of Canaan.

"Emperor, tsk, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

However, when the word emperor was mentioned, Tallulah did smack her lips and look unhappy.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Frost Star looked curiously at Tallulah, who looked unhappy. Bozhukas went to gather with the shield guards and also learned from them about the current situation of Canaan. The patriots had great expectations for this city belonging to the infected.

"You'll know just by looking at this."

As she spoke, Tallulah took out a letter from her bosom. Although she hadn't read it yet, Fang Ark recognized the wax seal on the letter. It was the wax seal that belonged to Islam Witt, the president of the Imperial Parliament, and it also represented the Imperial Parliament.

After taking the letter handed over by Tallulah, several people had different expressions after quickly reading it.

Ark returned the letter to Tallulah, his expression beneath the helmet very complicated.

"Is what you say in your heart true?"

"Hmm? Although it wasn't long ago, this is indeed the handwriting of the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament. It even has the Emperor's seal on it, indicating that this matter is indeed approved by the Emperor.

Although the empire is in a bad state now, no one has the guts to forge an imperial order."

But precisely because this was true, Tallulah felt even more uncomfortable.

"Those guys actually yearn to send officials to Canaan?"

Chapter 156: Eighteen Bronze Men of Sarkaz!

The Ursus Empire wants to send officials to Canaan, ostensibly to oversee the construction of the infected special zone and the implementation of infected laws.

Because no matter what, Canaan is still nominally one of the subordinate cities of the Ursus Empire. Although the emperor gave Canaan unparalleled autonomy and independent legislative power when establishing this infected special zone, it is still a subordinate of Ursus.

Legally speaking, there is absolutely no problem for Ursus to send its officials to Canaan for inspection.

This is just a superficial thing. In fact, all the senior officials understand that the establishment of Canaan is not the emperor's own will, but the result of a group of infected people seizing the core city of Chernobog and a piece of agricultural land in the form of a riot.

Moreover, this group of rioting infected people possesses the military power to compete with the army, which is one of the reasons for the empire's decline.

The forces within the empire were intertwined, the royalists and the reformists were fighting openly and secretly, and party struggles were constant. Even the emperor had no way to do what he wanted in such an environment.

Therefore, the policy on how to deal with this group of infected people was delayed again and again, leading to the current consequences.

Now, the Imperial Parliament has finally discussed a general direction, and from the attitude in this letter, Fang Ark can probably guess the final decision.

"There's no need to be overly nervous. Judging from Speaker Witte's letter, the Empire should still be maintaining a conciliatory policy towards Canaan. After all, the military force we demonstrated at the beginning of Licheng was enough to make Ursus calmly consider how to deal with us."

The entire Fourth Army was wiped out in the process of suppressing the Integration Movement. Now, Ursus only has the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, the Fifth Army, the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army.

Among them, the Fourth Army was completely annihilated by Galatron's artillery fire during the suppression of Canaan some time ago. The Sixth Army was suppressed and reintegrated by the Second and Seventh Armies during the Great Rebellion. The Eighth Army was unable to recover after the Great Rebellion. Although it was finally retained because it defected to the current emperor, now only the organization and a small number of high-speed warships can prove that this army still exists.

It can be said that today's Ursus is still one of the most powerful military empires in the entire Terra continent, but due to the domestic economy, the open and covert struggles among various factions, and the harassment of various class contradictions, it has long lost the ability to declare war.

Now that Canaan has appeared in the country, a very conspicuous guy who is only a notice away from rebellion but has the power to annihilate an entire army, Ursus has chosen to treat him with caution and adopt a conciliatory policy.

This is naturally inseparable from the efforts of the Emperor and Islam Witt. After all, the vision that the Integration Movement wants to develop in the future is also in the eyes of the Emperor and the Speaker of the Empire.

"So, just like I told you before. Tallulah, we just need to prepare for the reception and show our best spirits."

Alina's eyes flickered, and she was obviously very confident in Canaan today.

"But we can't afford to be completely defenseless. This is Ursus, after all. There might be some shady guys working behind the scenes, fanning the flames and trying to destroy us."

"Leave this to me."

Unexpectedly, it was Alina who took on this task.

"Canaan's public security is now handled by members of the Reunion Movement and the police-type Humagia assigned to us by Mr. Ark. As for the covert work, such as preventing spies from infiltrating or other tasks that are not publicly available, I can handle them."

"Alina...you..."

Suspicion appeared in Tallulah's eyes, and Alina, who knew her best friend very well, knew what she was worried about.

"Tallulah, you've forgotten again. I'm no longer the helpless, powerless me who faced some enemies before."

The shadows under his feet rolled, and pairs of red eyes surged inside. The chilling "hiss-whoosh" sound was enough to scare anyone who knew about the Usa secret service system into going insane.

"Ghostly Inner Guard. Uh-oh! I remember now."

Fang Zhou suddenly looked at Alina, and a hint of doubt flashed in the latter's eyes. The former shook his head to indicate that there was no need to worry about it, it was not a big deal.

What Fang Ark thought of was nothing else but Li Gousheng, no, Logos, who had said when history was distorted that he saw Alina's soul entangled in the darkness of the Shadow Kingdom, and said that he would help Alina get rid of the erosion of this darkness.

However, with the restoration of history, everything returned to the point when the distortion occurred. Logos had long forgotten the promise he made when history was distorted. When the Ark returned to Rhodes Island, Alina was worried that many political affairs of Canaan would have problems after she left, so she used the power of the Shadow Kingdom to go back. After all, apart from her, the only people who can handle the city's affairs in Canaan now are a handful of people with basic education and Sergei, the former chairman of the Chernobyl City Council.

So to sum up, the promise to help Alina solve her soul problem was simply delayed.

But this matter is also simple, it is just to use black magic to engrave a talisman on Alina's soul. Engraving a talisman on the soul sounds like a very difficult thing, but for Fang Zhou, who has become a master of black magic, it can be done with just a move of his hands, so he did not mention it here, and just helped Alina later when he was free. The whole process would not even take a minute.

"Okay, so from now on I will have the Ghost Guards deployed all over Canaan. Compared to the patrol officers who can be traced, the Ghost Guards hiding in the shadows are more difficult to guard against.

Therefore, those conspirators who wanted to infiltrate Canaan were doomed the moment they set foot in this city. I will have the Ghost Guards deal with them directly, of course, after obtaining sufficient intelligence."

"Alina..."

Tallulah looked at Alina with a hint of happiness.

In the past, the kind-hearted Alina would never have said such a thing, but perhaps after being attacked by a betrayer, she saw the dark side of human nature and grew up, or perhaps she was infected by the darkness of the Dark Kingdom. In any case, Alina's character now has a more realistic side, which is of course what Tallulah hopes to see.

"So there's no need to worry about those things from now on. We can just rest assured to entertain the officials sent by the empire. As for the rest, we can just deal with it as it comes."

"Ah."

Amiya looked at Tallulah and Alina with sparkling eyes. The excellent cooperation between the two made the little rabbit feel a little envious.

I wonder if the Doctor and I can achieve such smooth cooperation?

However, the cooperation between the Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit is quite good, especially after returning from Chernobog. The work between the two seems to be always handed over silently. There is no need to explain in words to understand what the other party wants to do and what they need to do.

Well, I'm a little envious.

Amiya put aside her thoughts for the moment. After listening to what Tallulah and Alina had said, Froststar, barely able to sort out the whole story in her mind, stepped forward and spoke:

"So is there anything else I need to do? I've been away from this city since its founding, and I have no idea what it needs from us."

Alina looked at Frost Star with a gleam in her eyes. Originally, the Frost Star team's duties in the Integration Movement were to defend against external enemies and to hunt and collect food daily to maintain sufficient supplies in the rear of the team. But now the Integration Movement has no worries about supplies. The food in the agricultural storage warehouses on the agricultural plots is enough for them to last until the spring plowing time this year. By then, Canaan's Originium mining business will have already started, and according to the best estimates, it has even reached several deals with Longmen.

At that time, the returning assets will allow Canaan's economy to start operating, import some materials from the outside world, and perhaps purchase some livestock to mark out an area on the agricultural land for animal husbandry. By then, Canaan will be able to achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency in materials such as meat, eggs and milk.

But even so, Canaan still relies heavily on imports for daily necessities, which is not acceptable. Therefore, for the current Canaan City government, independent production of daily necessities and the development of agriculture and animal husbandry are top priorities and matters that need to be planned for the future.

Then the Froststar Squad...

"Well, regarding the Yeti Squad, they're currently assisting the Mudstone Squad with farming on the agricultural land. I'll call them back later to discuss their role in Canaan's current defense system. Actually, Talulah and I agree on this point. We hope to retain the unique nature of the Yeti Squad, and I hope that Froststar, as the leader of this special team, will continue to carry out Canaan's future special external activities.

But considering your physical condition, we have been hesitant."

"Don't worry about that. When we became infected, we already foresaw the future outcome. Before his destined end arrives, being able to continue to add fuel to the fire of the infected's cause, making it burn brighter and more vigorously, is enough for us."

The silver-gray eyes sparkled, and Amiya looked sideways at him, her blue eyes shining brightly.

As expected, everyone sincerely hopes to change the special status and difficult situation of the infected people in this land in the future.

In this land, Rhodes Island is not the only one fighting for the infected. There are many idealists walking on this path, and some have even gone further than Rhodes Island.

This situation is really, really great.

The little rabbit's expression brightened visibly, and as his mood improved, he could even vaguely see the lovely Carters girl glowing.

When the group arrived at the municipal conference hall on the top floor of the city government, they began to deal with business, the most important of which was Rhodes Island's future cooperation with Canaan.

Engineering-type Xumagia and police-type Xumagia have been widely accepted by the infected in Canaan.

Most people have a friendly attitude towards these humanoid robots, while others are indifferent, not resisting them but not showing too much liking for them either.

Some of the engineering-type Humagears have now entered the Originium mines adjacent to Canaan and started mining operations. This type of machinery that can work efficiently in an Originium-contaminated environment is naturally welcomed by the infected, and Talulah and other members of the Integration Movement have also seen their potential in the Humagears.

Therefore, the subsequent cooperation with Rhodes Island is very important. This company, whether in the medical field or in the field of Xumagia, is what the Integration Movement and Canaan need most now.

During the two-day cooperation negotiations, both parties conducted a more detailed analysis of Canaan's current situation. Whether in terms of economy or industry, Canaan is now extremely fragile. This has been the case throughout history. In the Ark's native world, if a weak force or country wants to survive and develop in a harsh international environment, it needs to carry out a necessary activity.

Recognize father.

Of course, this word is just a description. It is impossible for Canaan today to really recognize a father. Instead, it needs a backer who can support Canaan economically, with resources, and politically.

And for them now there are basically only two choices.

Ursus, and Longmen.

At this point in the discussion, everyone held their own opinions, and even a small-scale quarrel broke out, but was finally suppressed by Tallulah and reconsidered later.

The cooperation with Rhodes Island was relatively smooth. After all, we were all fellow fighters fighting for the infected, so we could reach some necessary cooperation without even having to explain things clearly.

However, the only thing that needs to be discussed is that after paying the final payment for one thousand engineering-type repair machines, Canaan is out of money again.

Therefore, it is impossible for the cooperation to directly purchase Rhodes Island's Xumagia. After learning about Canaan's financial situation, Amiya was shocked. Their situation is even worse than Rhodes Island.

Rhodes Island may be poor, but if you look at the facilities and resources on the ships, there has been almost no shortage. So for the upcoming cooperation, rather than cooperation, Amiya feels that she and others are more like poverty alleviation.

The key point is that Rhodes Island itself is also poor!

In an instant, both Tallulah and Amiya seemed to understand what Ark had said before, the importance of having a backer in the early stages of power development.

The cooperation negotiations are progressing continuously, and things on Longmen's side can be said to be calm.

After two days of searching, and confirming that there was no trace of Theresa in the lower city, Chen Huijie had to compile the matter into a report and submit it to the director of the Guard Bureau, who then submitted it to Wei Yanwu.

Of course, this does not mean that the Guard Bureau has given up on searching for Theresa. It has just changed from a carpet search of the lower city to setting up a special task force, keeping an eye on the movements of the lower city every day. Once any trace of Theresa is found, it will be reported immediately to the higher authorities, and people inside the lower city will be mobilized. Anyone who finds any signs of Theresa and reports can receive a bonus from the Guard Bureau.

It was not just the Guards Bureau that took action at the same time. The underground forces of Lungmen also received rewards from the "Lin" who had only been active in legends so far.

Theresa is being rewarded for providing clues.

All of a sudden, all the underground forces in Longmen were mobilized.

These guys usually seem to have rebellious bones in their heads, as if they all want to overthrow "Lin"'s rule, but when the person gives the order, they still obey the king of the underworld. Especially this time there is a prize to be won, maybe they can even take advantage of the other party's favor. Where can you find such a good thing?

In just a few days, the entire Longmen was in turmoil. Anyone with a little political sense could feel that Longmen was different now, and even had a sense of paranoia.

This was not without the fact that Kal'tsit later found Wei Yanwu for a talk.

At this point, it can be found that most of the alien individuals created by Theresa are alien Sarkaz.

Up to now, she has created the alien Goliath, the alien Fire Demon and the alien Banshee.

Currently, there are a total of eighteen subspecies of the Sarkaz, including the Royal Court species.

Bloodfiends, Scavengers, Shapeshifters, Liches, Banshees, Cyclopses, Wendigos, Whiplashes, Dead Souls, Stonewings, Balrogs, Goliaths, Oni, Nightmares, Leviathans, Snow Maidens, Gorgons, and... Behemoths [Note 1].

The alien individuals that have appeared so far include Goliaths, Balrogs, and Banshees, but they only account for three of them, and the remaining ones are more troublesome than the other, especially the Royal Court subspecies.

These words made Wei Yanwu fully realize that the mere existence of Theresa was a huge crisis. If that person were to create all the alien Sarkaz at once, it would probably be a crisis that would destroy Longmen.

Even considering the particularly troublesome guys involved, it might even be no less serious than the Sui Beast incident that dragged the entire Da Yan into the giant beast quagmire.

Theresa must be captured, or even... killed.

Kal'tsit took Hong out of the Governor's Mansion in Longmen, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little.

Although telling Wei Yanwu about these crises directly went against her setting as the Riddler, she couldn't care less now. Theresa seemed to have some restrictions now. She was very restrained in creating the alien Sarkaz. She didn't create all the alien individuals of the eighteen subspecies of Sarkaz directly as in the worst case scenario, but she still had to take precautions.

Doing so might push Theresa into the abyss of death once again, but...

"..."

I have no choice.

This land, and Theresa, Kal'tsit chose the former.

"So, I'm a little sad, Kelsey."

"!!"

Note 1: The current subspecies of the Sarkaz here are all traceable, such as the Blood Demon and the Scavenger, which are indisputable. The only ones that need to be explained are the ones filled in by the whale himself, such as Leviathan, Nightmare, Snow Girl, Gorgon and Behemoth.

To put it simply, these can be explained as making up the number for Amiya's Chonghuang. After all, there are too few Sarkaz subspecies given by Hypergryph, and there are only fourteen to find in the text. This is even if I count the ghosts and Anassa, which is not enough, so I added a few more myself.

The Snow Girl adds a little plot to the East Country. Leviathan corresponds to the later trip to Agor. It should not be difficult to guess that Gorgon is there. Behemoth... This is purely a backstab. Of course, it is also my fault for not reading the text carefully. Now the girl has been confirmed to be a Stone Winged Demon, but what can I do now that I have written it? I have to finish the book I wrote even if I have to kneel down.
