I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, the communications officer quickly nodded to indicate that he understood. He then tried to contact his Reunion comrades at the central command, but unfortunately, there was no response. It was as if no one was there; the other side was completely silent.

If anyone were at the mobile hub in Chernobog, they would see many Reunion soldiers lying in pools of blood.

"No, no one responded..."

Upon hearing the communications soldier's reply, Frostnova understood the current situation. The enemy had stopped at Chernobog branch city because they wanted them to come to it. Thinking of this, Frostnova couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. The enemy seemed very confident, which made Frostnova want to do the opposite and leave with the rest of the troops, thus standing the enemy up.

However, Frostnova was reluctant to give up the advantage of this location, because she had created her own Frost Originium Crystals in Chernobog. This location provided her and the Yeti Squad with a crucial advantage in battle. If she were to abandon this advantage and run to the wasteland, it would be better to fight here, where she might even gain a slight advantage.

"Contact the others and have them concentrate their troops in the central area of ​​Chernobog. If I'm not mistaken, the enemy might be there."

Upon hearing Frostnova's order, the communications officer acknowledged that he understood and contacted the other units, instructing them to lead their teams to the Chernobog branch city center.

.................................. .................................

After assembling with another group of troops, Frostnova led them to the central area of ​​Chernobog. Looking at the Reunion soldiers lying dead at the gate, Frostnova frowned slightly. A member of the Yeti squad, standing nearby, looked at the corpses and said:

"Another fatal blow. The target can be identified from the wound."

Froststar nodded in agreement upon hearing the Yeti Squad's words, and said:

"Yes, that's right. Keep everyone on alert. Teams should stay close to each other, not too close or too far apart, and maintain visual contact. Keep communication open 24/7. If attacked, report the enemy's location first, but be careful to protect yourselves."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Frostnova's order, everyone understood. Under Frostnova's leadership, they began to move in small teams. Looking at the Reunion soldiers killed in the corridor, Frostnova could tell what kind of tragedy had occurred. In addition, Frostnova also noticed marks that looked like knife wounds. Seeing this, Frostnova thought of something ominous, but she couldn't figure out why it might be there.

After searching for a while, Frostnova and the others heard screams coming from the communicator.

【Ah! The enemy?! The enemy?!】

[Quickly! Report to your superior!]

Hearing the sound from the communicator, Frostnova also held up the communicator and shouted into the channel:

"X Team! Report your location!"

[Control Panel! We're at the control panel! Ah! Don't come any closer!]

After saying that, the other side lost contact. Upon hearing this, Frostnova immediately directed her squad to run towards the control panel. At the same time, she notified the other squads to seal off the area around the control panel to prevent the target from escaping their encirclement.

Soon, led by Frostnova, they arrived at the control panel located in the central hub of Chernobog. After Frostnova used magic to blast open the control room door, she saw the still-warm corpses of Reunion soldiers lying on the ground, as well as the tall and eerie figure standing in the pool of blood.

Upon seeing the figure before them, carrying several tanks on their back and with several tubes connected to their mask, a crimson light shone in the dimly lit control room, emanating from the mask's eye sockets.

"Is it you?!"

Upon seeing the eerie and towering figure before her, Froststar was immediately reminded of the encounter she had with them in the snowfield years ago. She had heard her adoptive father speak of them, calling them the Emperor's sharp blades. They were the Emperor's personal guard with swords, capable of single-handedly wiping out several squads. When the Yeti squad fought them, it took them a great deal of effort to hold out until they retreated.

The appearance of an emperor's blade sent a chill down Frostnova's spine. Although she was already cold enough, Frostnova sensed a conspiracy. After all, why would an emperor's blade appear here?

"Infected, die!"

As Emperor Blade reached out towards Frostnova, a surge of black energy gathered in his hand and shot towards her. Frostnova, not to be outdone, raised her staff and fired several black ice spears at Emperor Blade. The two attacks collided, instantly creating a cloud of Originium dust that obscured the entire control room's view.

Chapter 944 [The Question of Shattered Bones]

boom----!

With an explosion, the third group in Chernobog was attacked by a group of Sarkaz mercenaries. The sudden attack caught the defending forces off guard. Fortunately, at that moment, Shattered Bones emerged from his hiding place and attacked the Sarkaz mercenaries.

The Sarkaz mercenaries were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Shattered Bones. When the third group saw Shattered Bones attack from behind the Sarkaz mercenaries, they seized the opportunity and followed up with Shattered Bones to launch their own attack.

Those Sarkaz mercenaries were quickly wiped out. Shattered Bones looked at the Reunion symbol tied to the arms of the Sarkaz mercenaries on the ground with a puzzled expression. To be honest, Shattered Bones couldn't figure out why these Sarkaz mercenaries had the Reunion symbol on their arms.

It was at this moment that the members of the third Yeti team, after seeing Broken Bones, greeted him and said:

"Bonebreaker, thanks to your help, this group of enemies has been successfully wiped out. By the way, where were you before, Bonebreaker?"

Upon hearing the Yeti Squad member's words, Shattered Bones showed a hint of embarrassment. He had been planning to lead his fellow Infected to leave Reunion, and if his former Reunion colleagues found out he was going to defect, they would probably make an example of him.

After all, several cadres had already left the Integration Movement before it even started.

Because of the gas mask on his face, the Yeti team members didn't see his embarrassed expression, which allowed him to pretend nothing had happened and say to them:

"Ah... We chose a different route to evacuate Lungmen during the retreat. On the way back, we saw this suspicious group of Sarkaz mercenaries, so we followed them. We then discovered that they had run up to the Chernobog sub-city, so we chased after them and then found out about this."

Upon hearing what Shattered Bones said, the simple-minded members of the Yeti Squad nodded with understanding expressions. Seeing that he had fooled the Yeti Squad members, Shattered Bones breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Shattered Bones had witnessed firsthand how strong the Yeti Squad was during the Chernobog riot. An entire region had turned into a frozen wasteland, and the Chernobog guards had been frozen into ice sculptures standing upright on the snow.

"However, why do these Sarkaz mercenaries have Reunion symbols on them?"

Shattered Bones was also eager to know the answers to the questions about the Yeti Squad members. He couldn't understand why the Sarkaz mercenaries, who were members of the Reunion Movement just like them, would attack the Yeti Squad. Could it be to eliminate the failures of the Lungmen attack plan?

Thinking about all this, Shattered Bones couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Clearly, Shattered Bones was furious at Talulah's heartless actions.

The Yeti squad members, noticing Skeleton's slight trembling as he gripped the grenade launcher, asked curiously:

"Hmm? Broken Bones, what's wrong? Are your hands shaking from the cold?"

When Shattered Bones was interrupted by the Yeti Squad member's words, Shattered Bones was a little dumbfounded. What did it mean to be so cold that his hands were shaking? Although he was only wearing shorts, tights and shoes on his lower body, he was still an Ursus, okay? Being so cold that he was embarrassed to show his face was unacceptable.

"No, I was just thinking about some unpleasant things. By the way, where is your leader, Frostnova?"

Upon hearing Broken Bones' question, the Yeti team members explained to Broken Bones:

"You mean the boss? The boss is at the Chernobog branch city center right now dealing with the infiltrated enemies."

After receiving a reply from the Yeti team members, Broken Bones seemed to understand something and said:

"So that's how it is. Someone deliberately lured Frostnova away and then sent someone to attack you?"

The Yeti team members looked at Broken Bones with surprise after hearing his words and said:

"Wait, Broken Bones, do you mean someone's targeting Big Sister?!"

No, what I'm saying is that you are the prey...

Broken Bones looked at the Yeti Squad members in front of him with a speechless expression. To be honest, he was completely devastated by the Yeti Squad's image as cold-blooded killers.

"...In any case, the current situation is very mysterious. I don't know why the Reunion Movement would turn against its own people, but at least we know that the enemy's target is you."

After hearing what Broken Bones had to say, the Yeti Squad members realized that the enemy had come prepared. They first had someone assassinate the patrol team members to lure Frostnova away. While Frostnova's attention was drawn to the elusive assassins, they took the opportunity to raid the central hub of Chernobog and kill everyone inside. They also stopped the power of Chernobog, bringing this huge mobile city to a standstill and turning it into an isolated island in the wilderness.

Finally, the enemy lured Frostnova and her troops to the control room, and then sent a squad of Sarkaz mercenaries to ambush them. It seems their next objective is to target Frostnova!

The Yeti team members couldn't help but feel anxious at this thought. If that were really the case, then the central area was now a trap!

Shattered Bones, who was standing nearby, could also see the anxiety of the Yeti team members, and he said to them:

"I'll go find Frostnova. I have more people here, and they can help Frostnova. You guys should protect our injured comrades first."

Upon hearing Broken Bones' words, the Yeti team members grasped Broken Bones' hand and shook it a few times, expressing their deep gratitude:

"Then I'll leave it to you, Broken Bones. I'll send someone to guide you!"

As they spoke, the Yeti Squad members called over someone to lead the way for Shattered Bones. Led by one of the Yeti Squad members, Shattered Bones led the Reunion Movement team toward their destination. A portion of the Reunion Movement team stayed behind as a precaution, so that if another enemy attacked, there would be someone to protect the wounded.

The Reunion soldiers beside Shattered Bones also whispered to Shattered Bones:

"Bonebreaker, is it alright for us to help Frostnova and the others like this?"

Regarding the problem with his subordinates, Broken Bones nodded and said:

"This is not the time to talk about these things. Frostnova is also one of our infected comrades. We cannot stand by and do nothing when someone is in trouble. Besides, I have some doubts about this incident and want to figure some things out."

Chapter 945 [Thump—]

At the central control console in Chernobog, Frostnova is leading her Yeti squad in a battle against the Emperor Blade. Unlike the Emperor Blades they've faced before, this one is much more aggressive. The last Emperor Blade they encountered seemed to be just there to drag them down.

Frostnova also sensed a conspiracy brewing. After all, she didn't believe the Emperor's Blade was there for the Chernobog incident. She also felt that Chernobog was ridiculously easy; she couldn't see a single regular Ursus soldier, only some police and armed police, and the weapons and equipment they obtained were pitifully scarce.

Thinking about it this way, Frostnova couldn't help but wonder if the Chernobog incident was a trap. But using the residents of an entire city of Ursus as a trap sent chills down her spine. Using the people of an entire city as a trap for the Reunion Movement—what could the Reunion Movement possibly have that would make Ursus use the people of an entire city as a trap? Frostnova couldn't figure out what kind of vested interests were involved.

As for Talulah, she may have been a duke's heir, but that was in the past. Back then, she killed that duke and completely parted ways with him. Frostnova also remembers that the duke's name was Koschei.

However, thinking about all this, Frostnova also recalled the dream she had when she was trapped down there. Amiya seemed to have called Talulah Duke Koschche. After recalling all this, Frostnova couldn't help but feel a huge shadow looming over the Reunion Movement.

After Frostnova forced back the Imperial Blades with a barrage of icy attacks, she looked at the Imperial Blades before her and spoke:

"Who sent you here? Was it Talulah, or rather, Duke Kosiché?"

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, the Imperial Blade was stunned. Clearly, they hadn't expected Frostnova to know these things. Only Duke Koschche and related individuals knew about this matter, and no one else could possibly have known it.

Then the Imperial Blade suddenly remembered Talulah, or rather, Duke Koschei had asked him to kill Frostnova and her Yeti squad. Although he didn't tell him the reason, Duke Koschei probably already knew that the other party knew their plan, so he asked him to kill Frostnova to avoid exposing his identity.

Thinking about these imperial blades made me applaud my own intelligence; now everything made sense.

The Imperial Blade straightened up slightly and looked down at Frostnova and her Yeti squad, saying:

"I don't know where you got this information, but it's irrelevant now, because you're about to die—"

Before Imperial Blade could finish speaking, he quickly jumped away from his original position. The next instant, a sharp ice spike rose from the ground, but thanks to Imperial Blade's quick reaction, the attack was dodged. The Yeti Squad's sorcerer, who was secretly casting Originium Arts spells behind Frostnova, looked regretful and said:

"What a pity, I missed just now, otherwise I could have seen him clutching his butt and kneeling on the ground."

Upon hearing the other party's words, the Imperial Blade also looked annoyed (although it was not visible due to the mask), but the red light emanating from the eye sockets of the other party's mask shone even brighter.

"A bunch of lowly maggots!"

In response to the Imperial Blades, Frostnova conjured numerous ice arrows to attack them. The Imperial Blades, being incredibly agile, managed to kick a nearby box towards Frostnova. The box flew towards Frostnova like a cannonball, but Frostnova used her Originium Arts to intercept it. The box immediately shattered, sending dust billowing out and obstructing Frostnova and her companions' view.

With their vision obscured, Frostnova and the others couldn't see the Imperial Blade either. This was why Frostnova couldn't see the Imperial Blade either. But in the next instant, the Imperial Blade raised its saber, cleaving through the dust as it slashed down at Frostnova. Frostnova's reaction speed was also quick; she rapidly conjured a three-dimensional pyramid-shaped ice shield. In her previous battle with Yhwach, Frostnova had been frightened by Yhwach's immense power. This time, Frostnova had devised a move to deal with Yhwach's monstrous strength.

Imperial Blade swung his saber at the pyramid-shaped ice shield, but the blade slid away. Frostnova seized the opportunity and conjured a black crystal spear, thrusting it at Imperial Blade. Imperial Blade caught the spear with a slap.

At that moment, several crossbow bolts and ice arrows flew towards the Imperial Blade. The Imperial Blade swung his saber to deflect the attacks, but then he discovered that his hand, which was gripping the crystal spear, was frozen by a large block of ice.

Frostnova seized the opportunity and conjured an ice blade with one hand, slashing at Imperial Blade. Imperial Blade performed a somersault to kick away Frostnova's attack, breaking the crystal spear in his hand in the process. After kicking Frostnova away, Imperial Blade quickly created distance and shattered the ice in his hand.

Seeing the Imperial Blade in trouble, Frostnova felt a headache coming on. Just like before, the opponent's strength was still a headache. Although neither side could do anything about the other for the time being, Frostnova herself might not be able to hold on for long. After all, Frostnova had previously used Originium Arts, which caused her to suffer from Oripathy and faint.

If it happens again, then it's really over.

Imperial Blade, looking at Frostnova, suddenly said:

"By the way, I'm not the only one on this mission; there are several Sarkaz mercenary squads as well. It must be quite lively outside right now."

Upon hearing Imperial Blade's words, Frostnova was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected the other party to bring reinforcements. Imperial Blade brandished his military saber, applying pressure on Frostnova, and said:

"Soon, after the Sarkaz mercenaries outside have dealt with those remnants, it will be your turn."

It was at this moment that a curse word came from outside, followed by the sound of howitzers firing shells.

"what?!"

Imperial Blade looked completely bewildered as the Originium explosive flew in through the window, before it exploded with a loud "boom" right in front of him.
