There's a Table of Contents for My Achievements / You're in My Turf Now, So You're Not Getting Away!
Haranduhan pointed to a poster hanging on the wall, which featured a picture of a green Feline. The title of the picture was:
"Sargon Province: Acting Ruler, Kal'tsit"
Lukas Sargus squinted at the woman above, his golden mask gleaming with a dangerous light.
Is it possible that my house was raided?
The possibility is extremely small, but definitely not zero.
Could it be that this cat has usurped my place, using all sorts of schemes and tricks to murder my descendants, and thus gradually erode this country?
It can only be said that finding excuses is human nature, especially for these kings.
Like father, like son; basically, there needs to be a "legitimate reason."
"That's alright, anyway, my descendants aren't very promising." Haranduhan believed that he wouldn't let such things affect his state of mind.
But he wasn't absolutely ruthless.
An absolutely ruthless person cannot win the loyalty and love of all nightmares.
Just as the two were flipping through the book, a light and familiar footstep sound came from outside the door, followed by a gasp of surprise from the surroundings.
"Governor Kal'tsit is handling this matter. All residents are requested to step aside for now. The Utopia government will be responsible for any losses incurred."
"That's what the accompanying soldier said."
Upon hearing that it was Archmage Kal'tsit who had arrived, the people in the library immediately scattered.
The two kings rose from their seated reading positions, exuding unimaginable majesty.
But the Abundance Warrior, shrouded in this oppressive aura, were completely undaunted and pressed forward, Trailblaze a path for the Feline women behind them.
"Long time no see, King of Law and Whip of the Earth. I hope you enjoy this era." Kal'tsit appeared, protected by soldiers, her gaze fixed intently on the two kings before her.
Looking at Kal'tsit dressed in magnificent attire, Lukas Sargus couldn't help but question her:
"Was Sargon's transformation into its current form your doing? What role did you play in it?"
Kal'tsit spoke frankly, "To be honest, apart from leading you to the place where you fight against the Demons, I have not done anything in Sargon. My sights are set on this land."
"But... it's impossible to say that Sargon's current situation has nothing to do with me."
Lukas Sargus: "Indeed, after all, you now hold a high position, Consul... This should be the highest official position Sargon can hold right now. That guy called Huang Cao really trusts you. When I first saw you, you were still wearing tattered clothes."
Kal'tsit, despite having her past exposed, remained unperturbed. "To be honest, the guy the two King of Kings are talking about, Huang Cao, is actually my husband, and also the husband of both of them."
Lukas Sargus and Haranduhan were both startled by the series of coughs.
The two kings stared at Feline's disfigured face, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Having good looks is one thing, but as everyone knows, this land has no credibility.
Who would be interested in your icy face? Probably only when a volcano collapses and the earth is torn apart.
And then there are them. Would someone as arrogant as you choose to share a husband with other women?
Then I really need to take a good look at that guy.
"My man is currently at the lord's manor in Sargon. If needed, I can take you to see him. This is not meant as a slight; I want you to see how the world has changed along the way, and I will tell you about his actions over the years."
Kal'tsit gestured for them to proceed; neither of the two kings were unreasonable.
They've already gone through all the proper etiquette, so why the need to turn hostile on the spot?
So, each carrying a weapon, they were led by staff to a luxurious and enormous car.
Before long, the three of them looked out the window and saw Sargon as he was now.
Especially a day later, the two kings saw countless ordinary people entering Sargon's palace with cheap tickets.
Haranduhan said with a smile:
"A long time ago, I led my soldiers to visit your palace, but your subordinates and ministers stopped us, saying we hadn't bathed and changed clothes, and made up all sorts of excuses to stop us. If it weren't for your sake, I would have barged in on the spot."
Lukas Sargus said irritably, "You can buy this so-called ticket now and take a good look around."
Surprisingly, a minute later, Haranduhan actually inquired carefully about Kal'tsit's ticket purchase process, his demeanor unexpectedly mild.
Chapter 588 My Achievements Have a Table of Contents
After fighting each other for nearly a thousand years, they should stop and take a good look at themselves.
Lukas Sargus took a deep breath and looked out the window at the Sargon coming and going:
"The smiles on the Sargon's faces are the kind of smiles I've never seen before, Kal'tsit. Can you tell me why?"
Kal'tsit frankly stated, "Because of a precise deworming operation, we completely cleared away the obstacles to the distribution of benefits with a war from the inside out."
"I was dealing with the war at the time, but the prosperity I saw then seems very different from the prosperity we see today."
"Because you are surrounded by nobles who have become wealthy because of the war, but you are still an excellent king. At least you know how to distribute benefits. It's just that you are limited by the times and cannot make many changes. This is not your fault."
Kal'tsit's assessment was absolutely correct; she treated everyone fairly.
Lukas Sargus was by no means a tyrant or a foolish ruler.
His bloodline and noble influence also played a significant role in the war to unify Sargon.
In Terra, a place imbued with magical power, the contributions of ordinary people and nobles in a war can be equal in certain extreme circumstances.
Sometimes, while ordinary people were handling logistics in the rear, the intensity of the war was beyond the reach of ordinary people, while the nobles all died on the front lines.
However, with the development of the times and technology, the differences in bloodlines have gradually been smoothed out by technology.
Some nobles, who were already beneficiaries, seized the opportunity to make children from poor families expendable on the battlefield, thus shirking all responsibility.
Kal'tsit voiced her thoughts, and the two kings offered no rebuttal.
"We've arrived. My husband is in his office and should be waiting for you at the door."
The two kings got out of their carriage and walked to the entrance of the lord's office building, where a handsome young man was standing.
Neither of these two champions were people who judged by appearances; everyone has a youthful phase.
For some people, age and appearance are never limitations on their abilities.
On the contrary, they felt an immense pressure emanating from the boy.
This is a true king.
"Lukas Sargus, Haranduhan, hello, welcome to this era."
Huang Cao performed a very elegant ceremony to welcome the two travelers from a thousand years ago.
The two were invited to the hall, where a banquet had already been prepared, and even the chairs were custom-made.
One doesn't hit a smiling face, and the two kings were very pleased with this hospitality.
At least this guy didn't abandon basic human decency just because he became the victor.
Even if they ultimately have to give up, it would be a dignified ending for these two champions, rather than various forms of harassment and unhappiness.
Kal'tsit had no intention of participating in the banquet. After winking at Master Huang, she left.
After the two took their seats, Huang Cao sat down in the main seat with neither arrogance nor servility.
The dishes on the table emitted an enticing aroma, but none of the three were aiming to enjoy a sumptuous meal.
"I know you are both action-oriented people, so I brought four books, divided into two pairs. Both pairs contain the same content, recording my achievements over the years. Only through practical actions can I gain your recognition and thus avoid an unnecessary conflict."
Lukas Sargus took the two books and handed another one to Haranduhan.
"Two books, that's quite an achievement for you."
Lukas Sargus nodded, but then he opened it and discovered...
One of them is actually a table of contents!
Good heavens, just how much have you done?
The two kings read at lightning speed, and after a cursory glance, they discovered that the territory of Utopia was not limited to Sargon.
Victoria, Iberia, Kazimierz, even Kazdel and Columbia, and all sorts of other once-familiar place names were conquered one by one.
Utopia has taken control of half of Terra and established a very long-lasting rule over it.
Such greatness even impressed the Khan.
Haranduhan was fairly self-aware of his abilities. Compared to military governance, his ability to govern the country was rather lacking, barely passing the mark.
There's nothing shameful about admitting your shortcomings.
Haranduhan and Lukas Sargus were both over a thousand years old; as kings, they shouldn't lack even this much magnanimity.
Conquering territory and establishing stable rule are two completely different things.
Haranduhan had already left, wanting only to enjoy the battle. Lukas Sargus, after unifying Lower Sargon, was also overwhelmed by the increasing political affairs, which is why he chose to go and fight the Demons.
If it weren't for the pressures of the times, who would want to sit in this position?
"I acknowledge you, but I still demand an explanation for my descendants. I know you want to avoid a war. I am not a villain. I have seen the city intact and the Sargon people happy."
Lukas Sargus made his intentions clear. "I want to fight you, and whether you win or lose, I will choose to spend my time with this land."
"If this country truly becomes better under your leadership, and if my abilities, after the test of this era, are indeed inferior to yours, I am even willing to grant you certain requests if necessary."
Lukas Sargus's words surprised Huang Cao. He had thought that such a feudal monarch would be very difficult to talk to and stubborn, but he turned out to be surprisingly easy to talk to.
There was no loud argument as I had imagined, nor was he as aloof as I had expected.
It's like a long-lost friend who was imprisoned for some reason, and after being released, tells you about their plans for the future.
"Okay." Huang Cao nodded, "But we have to wait until evening. We can't waste this delicious meal, and I also need time to prepare the battleground so as not to disturb the surrounding residents."
Lukas Sargus did not continue, "Truly worthy of being a king, but I still wish to ask, how many of my descendants are still alive, and how many of them are still alive after committing wrongdoings?"
Huang Cao pulled a short list from his pocket. "Fortunately, some of your descendants have not completely lost their kingly spirit. At least before they were destroyed by my schemes, there was one whom I considered a great enemy who would annex Sargon."
"I'm very sorry, but this is war. According to noble etiquette, my victory in Sargon was not exactly honorable, but I believe I have a clear conscience."
"At least I believe that even if Sargon, the king with the heart of a king, were to ascend the throne, he would not be able to do better than me, because he still would not be able to shake the foundations of this country."
Lukas Sargus took the list and nodded solemnly.
He believed the young man's words wholeheartedly, for a true king would never stoop to deception.
The boy in front of him was very much like himself, except that he was more ruthless and outstanding, and equally kind.
Chapter 589 Once you're on my turf, you're not getting away!
After the king's banquet.
The group arrived at a pre- Trailblaze site.
"However, this battle should involve a wager. I like my collection, so the wager is our respective weapons. Of course, if you need them, I can return them to you; it's just a bonus."
Both kings agreed, but before the fight began, Haranduhan, carrying a weapon, blocked Master Huang's way.
"Your Majesty, after your duel with Lukas Sargus, could you perhaps fight me today? I don't want you to prove anything; I'm simply really into it."
Huang Cao thought for a moment before nodding in response to the battle maniac's invitation.
"There's no need for a few days later. After I finish my match with him, if I have the energy, I will naturally have a match with you."
Lukas Sargus nodded in agreement, "Haranduhan, you can rest assured about that. Although I don't think he can defeat me, who knows? Perhaps in 1000 years, the strong on this land will be as numerous as the sea, and we will no longer be powerful."
After everyone was ready, Kal'tsit, having finished her official business, also arrived at the competition venue and took on the role of referee.
At the referee's command, under the dazzling stars, the two Kings of Terra raised their hands to express their respect to each other before walking to opposite ends of the battle arena.
Haranduhan, waiting for his turn to appear, accepted the popcorn handed to him by Kal'tsit and watched the upcoming match with great interest.
The next second, the two disappeared from their spot, followed by a clash of bows and swords.
Unbelievable.
A bow can actually be used as a weapon for close combat, but the real means of attack is the bow and arrows.
It was a beam of light that could be grasped in one's hand; Lukas Sargus sensed a power called rules upon it.
With a single strike, Lukas Sargus's blade of light struck the arrow, but vanished instantly.
The impact then struck him heavily, even leaving a deep groove in his golden armor.
