Save the simulator and make Sarkaz great again!

Although Kazimir had some conflicts with Kazdel, he also had quite a few connections with Victoria.

We might not be as close as brothers normally, but it's normal for us to open up to each other occasionally.

If you tell me to come and I leave, and I don't show any appreciation, wouldn't Kazimierz lose face?

The envoy smiled slightly, clearly having anticipated Ioleta's reaction.

He calmly took a document from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Your Excellency Ioleta, Victoria is well aware of Kazimierz's unwavering stance."

"Therefore, we are willing to make concessions in economic and military terms in exchange for Kazimir joining our expeditionary force to defeat the Sarkaz."

Ioleta took the document, initially thinking it was just some polite terms. But as her eyes quickly scanned the contents, her brows furrowed and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

"Victoria is willing to grant Kazimir a five-year tax-free trade right and open up some high-speed warship construction technology for sharing?"

Victoria's envoy smiled slightly.

"Furthermore, Your Excellency Ioleta, Victoria is willing to sign a formal alliance with Kazimir to ensure that Kazimir will receive a portion of the Sarkaz-occupied territory as compensation after the war ends."

"Finally, Victoria will also provide logistical support to ensure that the knights of Kazimierz have no worries on the battlefield."

hiss--

The sound of all the high knights gasping for breath rose and fell in the hall. They looked at each other, and all saw the emotion on each other's faces.

If the five-year tax-free zone didn't really excite them, the subsequent sharing of high-speed warships and territorial compensation were like a cat's claws tickling their hearts.

Sarkaz has now accumulated a considerable amount of good land and numerous mobile cities. For any great knight, even obtaining a small portion of such land would be a significant asset.

"These terms are indeed tempting. We can feel Victoria's sincerity."

"However, this matter is of great importance, and we need to discuss it before making a decision. Please move to the lounge we have arranged for you. We will inform you as soon as we have any news."

Seemingly noticing Ioleta's hesitation, the node nodded, a smile playing on his lips.

"Your Excellency Ioleta, I believe you will give us a satisfactory answer."

“Victoria knows that the chivalry of Kazimierz is invaluable, but we also believe that only through cooperation can we jointly resist the threat of the Sarkaz.”

"Moreover, we have also extended requests for cooperation to other countries; we are not fighting alone."

"These concessions demonstrate our sincerity towards Kazimir."

After saying this, the envoy slowly departed, escorted by several riders.

Ioleta remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the high-ranking knights beside her.

"Hahaha!! I heard that the army of the Victorian and Letanian nobles was badly defeated by the Sarkaz. They had no choice but to come to us for help."

“If we can defeat those Sarkaz, we will gain a lot of wealth and territory, and maybe even be able to break into the inner circle.”

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the great knight's boastful words, Ioleta couldn't help but cough a few times.

Although Victoria offered very generous terms, Ioleta still keenly sensed a blind spot.

What if... what if they still can't defeat the Sarkaz even if they join forces?

Ioleta deliberately flipped through the Sarkaz's battle records.

You have to understand that the Sarkaz just defeated the Elector's attack, then invaded Syracuse, conquered Lateran, and now they have one foot in Letania.

I heard that the fully armed reinforcements from Victoria and Letania were easily dealt with by that demon lord. With their current strength, these little Karami would have been easy prey.

Is Kazimir really a match for them now?

But the other great knights didn't think so.

"I think this move is going to be good."

"Victoria has shown great sincerity this time."

"If we act decisively, those Sarkaz won't be able to react."

"Let's hurry up and take over all of Sarkaz's territory."

"Let's agree to Victoria's cooperation!"

"?"

Ioleta slowly etched a question mark into her mind.

I haven't even said anything yet, what are you all so eager to do?

"Cough... But the Sarkaz are not the same as before. They are not easy to deal with. Given the current situation in Kazimir, things may not be optimistic."

Upon hearing this, all the great knights revealed relaxed smiles.

"Grandmaster, you are being far too cautious."

"You see, the contract states that we do not need to support the demon lord who is directly confronting Letania."

"The only thing we can do is to join forces with the coalition to get around to their rear and strike Kazdel directly."

"Their battle lines have almost reached the heart of Letania. They can't just grow wings and fly out to beat us up."

"Besides, we've never fought the Sarkaz before, so we know perfectly well how much of the battle reports from the front lines are exaggerated."

"Although the Sarkaz are touted as very strong, our swords are not without their weaknesses!!"

"Those Sarkaz occupy the land that once belonged to Laterano, a place that was incredibly rich..."

Looking at the great knight who was already thinking about how to divide up the territory and fantasize about a new life, Ioleta knew that it was no use saying anything now.

but……

Upon closer examination, what they said actually made some sense, since they didn't need to directly confront the Sarkaz's main force.

Moreover, those Sarkaz are about to face Helhunzoron, the number one warlock in Terra!

No matter how powerful they are, they won't fare well against that legendary sorcerer.

It's uncertain how many of their main forces will remain by then, depending on whether Kazimir can seize this opportunity...

With that in mind, Ioleta no longer hesitated.

She turned to look at the high-ranking knights behind her, her voice firm.

"The threat from the Sarkaz is imminent, and the knights of Kazimir must step forward."

"Summon all the knightly orders and prepare for battle. The glory of Kazimierz will shine once more on the battlefield."

……

Inwade region, Dristel

Inside the command center, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

Several high-ranking officers sat around a long table, on which were spread battle reports that had just arrived from the front lines.

Every word in the battle report felt like a heavy hammer blow, striking their hearts hard.

"150,000-strong allied army... wiped out?"

"How is this possible? How can those Sarkaz be so strange!"

"Those are the elite troops of Victoria and Letania!"

An officer picked up the battle report with trembling hands, his voice shaking with disbelief.

Another officer was pale, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, as if trying to find some comfort in the suffocating news.

He took a deep breath, forced a smile, patted his chest, and said in a seemingly relaxed manner.

"Fortunately, we are far from Bruces City, so the Sarkaz won't be able to defeat us anytime soon."

"No matter how powerful they are, they couldn't possibly have reached us this quickly, could they?"

Although his words carried a hint of self-consolation, the other officers present did not feel relieved at all.

The atmosphere in the room remained heavy, as if an invisible cloud was hanging over everyone's heads.

"But... the Sarkaz are moving much faster than we expected."

"They can annihilate 150,000 coalition troops in minutes. Who knows what they'll do next? Are we really safe?"

"Don't scare yourself!"

“The Dristel region is the heartland of Letania. No matter how powerful the Sarkaz are, they will have to break through our defenses first.”

"We'll have time to react!"

"Besides, our phonograph is no joke!"

"If they dare to come, we...we have time to retreat!"

Hearing these depressing words, which would normally be used to be publicly shamed and whipped, the people in the room looked at each other and no one dared to refute them.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the Sarkaz's power had far exceeded their imagination.

The annihilation of the 150,000-strong allied army was not merely a defeat in a single battle, but a devastating blow to the entire Letanian defense line.

Just then, the door to the command room was suddenly pushed open, and a communications soldier rushed in, his face full of terror.

"They're here!! They're here!!"

"They're Sarkaz!!"

"They're coming!!"

"what?!"

The officer who had just been patting his chest suddenly stood up, his face turning deathly pale.

"This is impossible! How could they have gotten here so quickly..."

Before he could finish speaking, the alarm in the command room suddenly went off, the piercing sound making everyone's heart skip a beat.

He rushed out of the command room, only to hear a huge engine roar approaching from afar, and the black and red flag fluttering in the distance drew closer like the gaze of a demon.

"Everyone is in combat mode!"

"Quickly! Activate our mobile city!"

"We absolutely cannot let them get close to us!!"

The commander shouted the order, but his voice carried an undisguised hint of panic.

However, it was too late.

The Sarkaz's mobile city, like a behemoth, is approaching Dristel at an alarming speed.

The soldiers stood on the city wall, staring blankly at the enormous moving city, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

The Sarkaz's mobile city showed no signs of slowing down; on the contrary, it was getting faster and faster.

"They...they really came..."

"And it's only been one day!!"

"Don't these Sarkaz people ever take a break?!"

"Run! We have to run!!"

The soldiers on the outer lines thought the enemy would march directly, but they didn't expect them to bring a huge vehicle and crush them.

They immediately dropped their tuning forks and ran for their lives. At that moment, everyone hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.

As the mobile city surged forward, blood was instantly smeared onto the tracks.

The defensive lines surrounding Driss appeared so fragile, as if made of paper, in the face of the moving city's full-speed advance.

The military police commander stood on the city wall, dumbfounded as the enormous mobile city charged toward them like a giant beast.

"What...what's going on?!"

"Why haven't they slowed down yet?!"

The military police commander's voice trembled, and he almost dropped his binoculars.

"Prepare for impact!"

Shen Lin's voice was transmitted throughout the command system of the entire mobile city via the communicator.

The roar of the mobile city's engines grew louder and louder, and its speed continued to increase.
