People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 501: Writing Casimir, Reading Gaul

Russell felt his blood pressure was a little high.

"If you have anything else to say, please tell me all at once." She said helplessly.

“No… I don’t have any more here.” The staff member wanted to shake his head like a rattle.

Waving her hand to dismiss the staff, Russell walked quickly towards her office. She could never have imagined that the situation would suddenly get out of control to this point.

Where did the problem arise?

Russell didn't even let Silver Spear Tianma follow in. She sat alone in the office, lost in thought, and then one clue after another unraveled in her mind.

The first signs of the situation came when Letania suddenly sent a notice because of the afterimage of the Witch King.

But Russell didn't take it seriously and even treated it coldly, wanting to wait for the matter to pass.

Then came the assassination of Count Lethania, but Russell did not take it seriously. Instead, he was more concerned about the benefits this incident might bring to Casimir.

When the power armors appeared, Russell did not immediately think of the meaning behind them, but instead sent out Silver Spear Pegasus to try to save face for Casimir.

Russell knew he had done nothing wrong.

"But you have completely figured me out." Russell suddenly seemed to have aged a lot, "You even know me better than I do, Doctor.

In fact, it is very simple. Your arrangement is not very sophisticated, but I fell into the trap you set for me step by step.

If only one time...if only one time I had chosen a tougher attitude, there wouldn't have been so many hidden dangers."

She looked up and out the window, where was the hotel where Rhodes Island was located.

Russell himself was somewhat unconfident, even pleading, and said to himself:

"It should be over now. You shouldn't have any more plans."

knock --

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Russell's heart trembled with this sound.

"Grand Knight Commander, there's trouble at the border again!" The staff member who pushed the door open had sweat all over his forehead. "Ursus seems to have noticed the situation that Casimir is facing and is gathering troops at the border!"

"*Casimir swears*"

Russell, who had been holding back for a long time, finally succeeded in breaking through.

"Why Ursus too... Yes, given the irreconcilable situation between Casimir and Ursus, how could they miss such an opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune?"

Russell's breathing trembled slightly: "It's about profit, Doctor, is this also part of your plan?

You really taught me a hard lesson, letting me understand what it means to manipulate interests, what a cruel method!"

"Grand Knight Commander..."

It was the first time that the staff saw Russell lose his composure like this, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Russell was shocked.

She immediately realized that anyone, Casimir, could panic, except her!

"I am fine."

Russell tried to restore his usual dignity. After a pause, he suddenly burst out with momentum: "Pass my order, the whole country is on war preparedness. Casimir has never been afraid of a strong enemy. If they want to fight, then fight!"

The staff member was shocked, and then immediately regained his composure: "Yes!"

After this person left, Russell slowly walked back to the sofa and sat down.

She whispered to herself in the empty room:

“We can’t fight. Once this war starts, Casimir will be surrounded by three powerful countries.

Is Casimir going to be the next Gaul?"

Just when Russell was at a loss, her private terminal suddenly vibrated.

Russell took out the terminal and looked at the unfamiliar number on it, feeling a little confused.

But she still chose to answer the call.

A calm male voice came from the terminal:

"Dear Grand Knight Commander, hello, please allow me to introduce myself.

Kane, chairman of the Rose News Associates.

"It's you...what do you want from me?" Russell's tone was not very kind.

If it were normal times, she would still be gentle to truly powerful entrepreneurs like Kane, but now she was in a bad mood and had no interest in speaking polite words to these businessmen from the Federation.

Kane said calmly: "The fact that the Grand Knight is still asking me this kind of question shows that you don't realize who is the culprit for Casimir's current situation."

"Isn't he a doctor from Rhodes Island?" Russell frowned.

"Do you have any evidence?"

"……No."

"Then Rhodes Island is not the culprit, but an innocent and important partner that should be respected by Casimir!"

Kane paused for a moment and continued, "The culprit is Casimir's Business Association."

"you……"

"Grand Knight, please show some courage." Kane said bluntly, "The truth is not important."

Silence, long silence.

Russell sat quietly in the room like a clay sculpture.

On the communication side, Kane didn't rush to say anything.

After a long time, Russell spoke again, her voice a little dry:

"Mr. Kane, if you were in Casimir, what would you do?"

"According to my investigation, the Brilliant Knights once belonged to Rhodes Island, and Rhodes Island has a strong man named Qi Yan."

Kane said without hesitation: "I will use the relationship with the Knights of Glory to make friends with Rhodes Island. I will ask Qi Yan, who has extraordinary combat power, to take action and directly uproot the Commercial Federation and change the situation in Casimir.

I will enslave all the merchants in my hands, and they will no longer create profits for themselves, but for Casimir. "

Silence, or a long silence.

Russell closed his eyes and said with relief:

"I think I understand something. Goodbye, Mr. Kane."

"We'll talk about it when we have a chance. I won't be returning to Casimir. I still have a lot of work to do in Colombia."

Kane finished speaking and hung up the phone without any regrets.

Russell put down the terminal silently.

She understood that she had completely lost, not only to the doctor from Rhodes Island, but also to Kane from the Rose Press.

While she was still thinking about how to avoid war and how to stabilize the situation, Kane, an outsider, pointed out the key to breaking the deadlock.

The Doctor is cornering Casimir.

Serious illnesses require strong medicine!

"Mauna, I suddenly understand why you reminded me to be careful of the doctor." Russell murmured to himself, "Qi Yan's strength lies in the oppressive feeling brought by his strength, and the strength of the doctor... no, the horror of the doctor lies in his ability to control the overall situation silently."

Russell closed his eyes, as if petrified, and remained silent for a long time.

Time passes little by little.

It was not until the hour bell rang in her ears again that Russell opened her eyes again. There was no confusion or fear in her eyes, only determination.

"Somebody come!"

Silver Spear Pegasus, who had been waiting outside the door, entered the office first and was shocked when he saw Russell.

“Grandmaster…” Pegasus with the Silver Spear addressed the person in front of him softly.

In this short period of time, they felt that Russell seemed to have completely changed into a different person, or to be more precise, he had turned back into that person.

One of the seven knights who once fought on the battlefield and led Casimir forward is back!

Russell looked at the several Silver Spear Pegasus in the room and smiled:

“I’m sorry, I was blinded by some things in the past and my edge was buried. Fortunately, I woke up before it was too late.

Casimir, it's time for a change."
