Lord Huang Officially Launches the Great Crusade!

"It's delicious. You were definitely eating something good behind my back. But the juice is a little thick and slippery. What kind of fruit is it?"

Faced with His Highness's question, Kal'tsit paused for a moment, and could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Never mind, anyway, disregarding the strange production process, the taste and texture of Huang Cao are top-notch.

Otherwise, Kal'tsit wouldn't have stuffed herself so full.

Let's not say it aloud and hurt His Highness's feelings.

"And why does this juice taste so similar to the scent that Kal'tsit always carries?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Kal'tsit figured that since His Highness had already tasted it...

Kal'tsit: "Since the perfume I've always worn is extracted from this fruit, I'll make a cup for Your Highness myself another day."

Strictly speaking, it was made by hand...

Moreover, it was all handmade by this cat, but most of the time it took some persuasion.

However, that's not the point right now. Kal'tsit ordered His Highness to immediately stop what he was doing.

And Your Highness should try to recall what Huang Cao said at the meeting today.

Why should we recall Mr. Huang's words?

Theresia didn't understand.

In order to prevent Master Huang's identity from being exposed, Kal'tsit said something that was half true and half false.

"According to my information and Miss Lamian's account, the reason why the Banshee River Valley became so prosperous was entirely due to Mr. Huang Cao's advice and strategies, and he was also responsible for attracting foreign investment."

In short, after a barrage of praise, Huang Cao's persona as a business genius was finally established.

However, this will surely arouse Theresia's deep appreciation for talent.

What China is lacking right now is an economic talent like this.

If possible, Your Highness would definitely grab Master Huang and refine him instantly.

If Master Huang were truly just a weak little horse, Theresia could indeed handle the large carriage very well, but unfortunately, he isn't.

Having served him for decades, Kal'tsit knew very well the strength of the Master Huang, both in terms of knowledge and physical ability.

Master Huang wouldn't play house with Theresia.

Therefore, it's necessary to bring up some historical context at this point.

"Why didn't Lamian tell me this...?"

It's one thing for my boyfriend to have talent in this area, but he didn't even tell me that we're getting married soon.

This pink-haired one always felt that her best friend, with whom she had once shared life and death, seemed to be drifting further and further away.

Kal'tsit blurted out without any hesitation, "Do you know why the Herbivore Demon King's Court was destroyed?"

When this was mentioned, Theresia immediately remembered it.

This seems to be related to the Demon King from the era of Tikkaz.

Due to the characteristics of the Grass-eating Demon race, they were captured by the Demon King of that era to produce military rations, and eventually the entire race was exhausted to the point of self-destruction.

The tragic end of this race is largely related to the Demon King, accounting for at least 90% of it.

So that makes sense.

Although Kal'tsit didn't know exactly what race the Master Huang was, there was no doubt that he was at least outwardly disguised as a Grass-eating Demon.

This wave of persuasion immediately placed Theresia at the lowest moral ground.

See? The entire race was harmed by the Demon King.

Do you still expect the last bloodline of your race to continue working for you?

Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?

If it weren't for the Demon King, the Grass-eating Demon race wouldn't be reduced to just this last bloodline.

Chapter 154 Master Huang officially begins the Great Expedition!

Sure enough, Theresia was finally persuaded.

Aside from national interests, the only thing that can persuade this pink-haired one person is the moral high ground.

"However, Mr. Huang did give us some hints."

Kal'tsit felt that with the intelligence of the two of them, it was impossible for them to uncover the hidden crisis within the nation.

Therefore, we must glean relevant information from Master Huang's subconscious remarks.

However, after thinking it over and over again, and listing everything that Master Huang had said at the meeting that day, the two still couldn't find anything amiss.

Because Master Huang only said a few words at the meeting.

For the rest of the time, they just echoed Theresia's decisions like a human robot.

Besides road construction...

Ultimately, the two decided to continue working on road repairs, a decision that is certainly related to their current situation.

It couldn't possibly be because Master Huang's backside was being jostled around by the terrible road conditions, and he subconsciously made a few complaints, could it?

"Kal'tsit, how about we try repairing a road?"

Theresia spoke cautiously.

"But it's Catastrophe..."

Kal'tsit was still worried that Catastrophe would destroy the roads that had been painstakingly built.

"It's alright, there's nowhere to use the steel we produce anyway..."

In that instant, the old man and the young man seemed to have suddenly realized some crucial information.

I see...

So this pit was buried here on the slope!

Although neither of them had any talent in this area, they were not stupid in the strictest sense.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could spot the problem, let alone them.

By sheer luck, the answer came up unexpectedly.

It can only be said that Master Huang really didn't control his emotions well this morning.

Although I have good physical fitness, it doesn't mean I don't feel anything. My butt was hurt by the terrible road conditions.

Theresia said with a hint of sadness, "So, at this morning's meeting, was Mr. Huang Cao the only one who noticed this problem?"

His words were tinged with embarrassment; it was astonishing that no Lord of the Royal Court had been able to discover such a simple problem.

In fact, even if any learned Victoria nobleman were randomly assigned to guide the country's economy, they would surely have discovered the problems.

If we say that the power institutions of all countries in the world are makeshift organizations, and can be described as mere shoddy operations, then...

Kazdel's makeshift organization relied entirely on metaphysics and magic.

In this huge conference hall, only the current Demon King Theresia has any experience in managing a country.

This is definitely not a compliment. Although she is still not as good as Master Huang, she is gradually shedding her image as a pretty face.

At least compared to the humanoid figures during meetings, this pink-haired one guy can at least offer a solution that looks acceptable.

If Dukare or anyone else were to design it, the consequences would certainly be disastrous...

However, this did not affect Huang Cao's future plans, because after so many years of turmoil, Kazdel is about to end its golden age of development.

Leithanian: Hehehe, I'm back again!

After the Royal Court meeting, Huang Cao returned to his Eden.

A mobilization meeting was held a few days later.

The banner of Eden bore the image of Path of Abundance. Under the high-flying banner, Huang Cao delivered his first war mobilization speech.

This time, the target is Sargon.

Do you remember when they seized the Gaul colonies without bloodshed?

After decades of operation, the former Gaul colony has become an integral part of the Eden.

It has also been connected by train and has now become the second Eden Zone.

Eden's headquarters are in Kazdel, while Victoria and Sargon are districts.

And because of the extensive propaganda, the Sargon Eden district became the last hope for many poor people, with thousands flocking to Eden every day.

By this time, the chieftains and emperor of Sargon could no longer remain silent.

They were preparing to reclaim these lands through negotiations when Emperor of Sargon first attempted to resolve the issue through negotiation.

Huang Cao knew he had to act quickly, because he could not possibly abandon his people.

Are you kidding me? I'm not going to give you the territory I've worked so hard to build up.

What's mine is mine, even if I snatched it!

Giving the land to these insects of Sargon is a waste!

So it's time to take back Sargon's land, and incidentally, "take back" more land that has been seized by the chieftains.

Standing on the high podium, Huang Cao held the microphone and shouted loudly:

"My people, it is time to spread the grace of the Medicine King across the Terra's land. We are here for justice, and for the future fairness and happiness of humanity!"

"Let those chieftains who leech off Sargon taste our might, and let the emperor of these fools give them an answer!"

"In this battle, I will stand with you through thick and thin, sharing both life and death!"

With a loud boom, more than thirty giant High-speed Battleship, each three kilometers long, suddenly emerged from the dozens of factories standing in the Eden.

The earth trembled, and the crowd below the stage erupted in cheers.

"My lord!"

The people below did not know who the Medicine King was, nor did they fully understand the meaning of Abundance.

But they knew that the lord on the stage was the one who was bringing them a good life.

Seeing the high morale of his people below, Huang Cao waved the command flag in his hand:

"Fleet, set sail! Operation codename: Operation: Bitter Dawn!"

Meanwhile, Victoria, thousands of miles away, also made her own response.

After decades of changes, the vast majority of members of the Lower House established by Huang Cao have inherited the power of their families.

As die-hard fans, they rallied the entire Victoria to provide every possible form of support for their idol.

And as instructed by the Speaker, the main force departing from Sarkaz will be disguised as Victoria.

Therefore, the root of this war was Victoria's declaration of war against Sargon, and no country cared where the army came from.

When the Great Beast of the industrial age arrived in ancient Sargon.

People then truly realized that so-called high-bloodline witchcraft was nothing more than rotten wood that would crumble at the slightest impact in front of these steel monsters.

In just two months, under the infiltration and offensive of High-speed Battleship...

Sargon not only lost the territories he had sold to Gaul, but also more than 50 percent of his own land.

This was the closest this country had ever come to national collapse.

If it weren't for the obstruction of the Scorched Earth and the Eternal Army, and the subsequent support from Ursus, Iberia, and even Kazimierz...

Master Huang could take them all the way to their capital in one fell swoop.

After careful consideration and learning from the lessons of his predecessors, Huang Cao decided to withdraw from the fray and did not intend to fight on multiple fronts.

After acquiring the country's most fertile lands, they returned laden with spoils.
