I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing the messenger's voice, Bozokastie snapped out of his reverie and looked at the messenger, saying:

"Relay the order, have the troops assemble, I'm going to see what those people want to say."

As he spoke, Bozokasti picked up the halberd and the huge shield that were placed to the side and walked towards the door.

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

On Amiya's side, she looked at the guerrilla soldiers monitoring them. Although the guerrilla soldiers were not hostile, Amiya could sense their vigilance. If they made the slightest move to attack, Amiya suspected that they might launch an attack immediately.

"Well, we're basically the intruders right now, and their attitude is pretty normal. To be honest, I'm already quite surprised that they didn't launch an attack directly."

Hearing the Doctor's words, Amiya nodded and said nothing more. After waiting for a while, Amiya heard footsteps, heavy and well-organized, approaching them. Then, Amiya and the others saw a heavily armored army, marching in perfect unison like a city wall, approaching them. One of the tall Sarkaz warriors, carrying a huge shield and halberd, led this wall-like army step by step toward them.

Amiya felt a sense of pressure upon seeing this scene. It was as if she were seeing a city wall approaching them, and the tall Sarkaz warrior stood like a giant castle in front of it, making the enemy think that they could not break through the wall.

"Is that Mr. Bozocasti, Miss Frostnova's adoptive father?"

The Doctor, watching Bozokasti approach, asked Amiya this question, and Amiya nodded and replied:

"That's right, this is the Mr. Bozokasti that Miss Frostnova mentioned. He looks just like the soldier Miss Frostnova described, as solid as a rock..."

"Yes, indeed, just as Miss Frostnova said, she seems quite stubborn."

"PhD???"

Amiya looked completely bewildered upon hearing what the Doctor and the others were saying, as if she didn't know whether the Doctor was referring to Borocast's appearance or his personality.

After Bozokastie arrived at Amiya's side, he looked at the guerrilla soldiers who were monitoring them and said:

"You guys did a great job. Now, get back to the team."

Upon hearing Bozokastie's order, the guerrilla soldiers replied with a "Yes, sir!" and hid behind the shield guards. Bozokastie then looked down at Amiya and the others and said:

"Rhodes Island, in what capacity are you here?"

In response to Borocaster's sharp tone, Kal'tsit, standing beside Amiya, looked at Borocaster and said:

"It doesn't matter if it's about identity, but what about one's stance?"

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, Borocaster turned his attention to her. Then, seeing Kal'tsit, Borocaster stared at her with wide eyes and said:

"Wait, you are... Kal'tsit, Lady Kal'tsit?!"

"Long time no see, Bozokasti."

Seeing that the two looked like they had met before, Amiya and the Doctor looked at Kal'tsit and Borocaster with blank expressions. For some reason, Amiya and the Doctor felt that the two had known each other for a long time.

"Kal'tsit, Lady? Why... haven't you aged?"

Kal'tsit didn't answer Borokasti's question, but instead looked at Borokasti's neck and said:

"Your vocal habits...is your diseased organ in your throat?"

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's question, Bodrakasti replied to Kal'tsit:

"No, it's just that, as time has passed, things have become like this. I can no longer speak smoothly, Lord. I never expected to meet you here."

Kal'tsit also spoke up regarding Bozokasti's words:

"I never imagined that the patriot Frostnova was referring to was you..."

Kal'tsit then changed the subject, saying:

"This is about something Frostnova wants us to help move; she has something to say to you."

As she spoke, Kal'tsit took Frostnova's communicator out of her pocket and handed it to Borzokaste. Seeing the old communicator in Kal'tsit's hand, Borzokaste knew that it was the communicator she had given to her daughter. As for why it was in Rhodes Island's possession, Borzokaste had two guesses: one was that it was obtained from her daughter's corpse, and the other was that her daughter had given it to them by hand.

After receiving the communicator from Kal'tsit, Borocaster, feeling somewhat uneasy, switched on his own communicator. Frostnova's voice then came through:

Amiya, have you found my father?

Hearing Frostnova's familiar voice, the heavy weight in Bodrakasty's heart finally lifted. Previously, hearing the news that Frostnova was still alive had made Bodrakasty suspect a Rhodes Island conspiracy, but now, hearing his daughter's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Yelena...it's me...."

On the other end of the communicator, Frostnova, after hearing her adoptive father's words, also spoke with a somewhat disdainful expression:

"Old stubborn man, what's wrong? You sound like you're about to cry. Did Youyou beat you up?"

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, Bozokasti froze as if petrified.

Chapter 969 [Rebellious Daughter and Stubborn Old Father]

Seeing their leader turn pale, the Shield Guards broke out in a cold sweat. They also heard Frostnova's voice on the communicator; only Frostnova would dare to call the Captain that.

As for the captain's family affairs, the Shield Guards couldn't interfere, since most of them didn't have wives or children and basically had no experience in these matters.

Amiya and the others, overhearing Frostnova and Borzokas's conversation, looked utterly embarrassed. What was this? A rebellious daughter and her stubborn old father?

Amiya, witnessing this scene, was at a loss for words, while Frostnova asked her elderly father:

"You old fogey, you didn't attack the people from Rhodes Island, did you?"

Bozokasti also had some doubts about Frostnova's question, but he honestly replied:

"No, they are fine."

Frostnova breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Bozokasti hadn't attacked the Rhodes Island people. Of course, the reason Frostnova breathed a sigh of relief was that her father hadn't attacked Amiya and the others. Otherwise, Frostnova would have seen a pillar of light rising somewhere in Chernobog's main city, along with a ground full of beast orbs.

When Bozokast heard Frostnova's relieved expression, he couldn't help but wonder if his daughter was relieved that Rhodes Island was safe.

However, Bozhukast felt something was off, but he couldn't figure out why. This puzzled Bozhukast, but no matter what, the most important thing was that his daughter was alright.

"It's good that you're alright. I have something to discuss with you now. Are Talulah and W's people around you?"

Frostnova's words made Bodrakastie frown. Why was his daughter asking these questions? However, Bodrakastie also spoke up:

"No, here, only my people, Rhodes Island."

After receiving a reply from Bozokasti, Frostnova breathed a sigh of relief and said:

“Very well, you old stubborn man, do you know anything unusual about Talulah?”

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, Bozokasti remained silent for a moment. Bozokasti remembered that Frostnova had referred to Talulah as "that guy," but that was how Frostnova used to address Talulah. Bozokasti was puzzled as to why Frostnova would call Talulah that, especially since Talulah was acting somewhat strangely now.

"Yes, Talulah, communications within the city are now prohibited."

Amiya and the others were surprised to hear Bozokasti's words. Even those with basic combat knowledge know how important communication is on the battlefield, and Talulah's direct ban on it made people wonder if something was wrong.

When Frostnova heard what Bodrakasti said, she showed an expression of "I knew it," while Shatterbond, who was standing to the side, found Bodrakasti's words extremely absurd.

Bozokasti, probably sensing that Frostnova thought Talulah had a problem, spoke up:

"Yelena, what are you trying to say? Talulah, what's wrong with her?"

Frostnova then told Bodrakasti what she had learned, saying:

"We encountered the Emperor's blade on our way back from Longmen."

Upon hearing the title "Emperor's Blade," Bozokastie was startled. As a former Ursus soldier, Bozokastie knew how powerful those Emperor's Blades were. Even when he fought three Emperor's Blades last time, it was only because they hadn't used their full strength.

"Yelena, are you alright?! How did you encounter them?!"

Bozokast was also baffled by the fact that his daughter had encountered the Emperor's blade. Could it be that their capture of Chernobog had angered the Emperor of Ursus?

If that's the case, then it shouldn't be the Emperor's Blade that's launched the attack, but rather an Ursus Army. For an Ursus Army, eliminating the Reunion Movement would be a simple matter. So why would they send only the Emperor's Blade to carry out the assassination?

While Bodrakastie was pondering why the Emperor's Blade had appeared, Frostnova said something that Bodrakastie found hard to believe.

"It was Talulah who sent out the Emperor's blade."

"???"

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, Bodrakastie was stunned. Clearly, he was bewildered by his daughter's answer. After regaining his composure, Bodrakastie spoke to Frostnova in a serious tone:

"Yelena, now is not the time to joke like this!"

“I’m not joking, you old stubborn man. I heard Emperor Blade say it with my own ears.”

Frostnova had anticipated Borocasti's reaction, but her adoptive father was as stubborn as his armor. However, Frostnova had her own reasons.

"No, Yelena, you've been deceived! The Emperor's Blade is sowing discord!"

"What if I told you that those imperial blades were sent by that viper Duke Koschche you mentioned before?"

"what?!"

Frostnova's words left Borocas completely bewildered. After all, the Duke Koschei that Frostnova mentioned had been killed by Talulah a long time ago. How could he possibly order someone else to assassinate Frostnova? Not to mention that the Emperor's Blades only obey the orders of the Ursus Emperor. How could a mere duke like Koschei possibly have the ability to command and direct those Emperor's Blades?

It would be more accurate to say that the fact that the Emperor's Blade could be commanded by Kosiché is already a terrifying thing.

"That's impossible, Kosiché, he's dead, he can't possibly exist."

Frostnova also told Bozokasti what he had said:

"What if Koschicchi possesses Talulah's body?"

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, Bozokaste couldn't help but think of something terrible. If what Frostnova said was true, then was the Reunion Movement originally Koschche's conspiracy?

"No, this can't be... Could it be that Talulah has been acting all along, deceiving us, all of us?"

Frostnova had also considered the suspicions of Borocaster, but when she thought about Talulah's drastic personality change, she felt that it was during that time that Koschei took over Talulah's body. Hmm? That sounds a bit strange.

Forget about those things. What's important now is to save my adoptive father from that venomous snake and then deal with that Duke Koschke properly. I need to avenge Faust, the Shattered Bones, and all the grudges against my brothers and sisters.

Chapter 970 [Negotiations Failed, Time to Launch the Offensive!]

"You old fogey, do you remember when Talulah's personality changed drastically?"

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, Bodrakasti said he remembered. To be honest, Bodrakasti felt that Talulah was like a completely different person at that time. Could it be that, as his daughter had said, Talulah was possessed by the venomous snake Kosiche?

"Yelena, do you have any evidence?"

"No."

Frostnova answered Borocasti's question without hesitation, after all, her most important evidence was seeing Talulah possessed by the Undead Black Serpent in her dream, how could she show such evidence to others? Upon hearing Frostnova's answer, Borocasti sighed helplessly.

Without evidence, how can I convince the other members of the Reunion Movement?

"Although there is no evidence, I don't need evidence now."

Upon hearing Frostnova's words, Bodrakastie looked puzzled, clearly not understanding what Frostnova meant by saying she didn't need evidence. Soon after, Bodrakastie heard the Yeti Squad's voice coming from Frostnova's side.

"Boss, those demons are attacking us now."

"Okay, I understand. It's to let us prepare and show those demons that our Yeti Squad is not to be trifled with."

The communicator then lost contact, leaving only a hissing sound. Seeing that his communicator had stopped working, Bozokasti wore a serious expression. Although he didn't know where Frostnova was, the people from Rhodes Island in front of him should know.
