I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

Bai Chen said with a rather boastful air:

"The new emperor has issued a new decree prohibiting the continued persecution of the infected. In a sense, from the moment the new emperor issued this decree, any atrocities committed against the infected by the disciplinary squads, the army groups, or the civilians of Ursus are considered violations of Ursus law."

The charges of disorderly conduct, illegal imprisonment, intentional injury, and intentional homicide, after the new emperor signed the new law, actually apply to all Ursus people who dare to attack infected individuals.

He smiled and pressed the play button on his phone screen. After the city's network was restored, the phone's network function was back online. After loading for a short while, he played the video of the Ursus emperor signing the decree for Froststar.

This task proved to be far less arduous than he had anticipated, a task he accomplished with remarkable ease. After all, it seemed that in the game, the new emperor of Ursus had issued something similar, demanding an end to the persecution of the infected.

"You mean infected people are no longer subject to persecution?"

Shuangxing frowned and silently watched the video. Then her brows furrowed even deeper, and her expression became increasingly confused.

"No, if that were the case, you wouldn't be being chased around in the tundra."

"Then, what's the use of this?"

Froststar looked up at Bai Chen, her beautiful light gray-blue eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. "What does this have to do with the old nobles hunting you down?"

"This is important."

Bai Chen said softly:

"This is extremely important. It means that the legitimacy of the Reunion Movement is recognized by the Emperor of Ursus and by Ursus law. It is a civilian self-help organization of infected people that responds to the national policies of the Ursus Council and supports the new Emperor of Ursus. All actions taken by the Reunion Movement to date have been legitimate self-defense and legitimate claims to its rights in accordance with the law."

However, some people disregard the new emperor's decrees and treat Ursus laws as worthless, repeatedly persecuting the infected for their own benefit.

He smiled, looking at Froststar whose brows were still furrowed, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"

"I don't understand. Nobles and commoners alike are afraid of the infected and hostile towards them. They all want us dead."

Froststar lowered her gaze and said softly, "The Emperor's decrees... seem to have no effect at all. Everyone still sees the infected as enemies."

What does it mean to be useless?

Little rabbits, little rabbits, are you just too incompetent, or are you just too kind, too naive, and too idealistic?

This implies legal legitimacy, meaning the Reunion Movement can do a lot of things. As long as they can find a way to get an appointment letter from the Grand Duke in the Mobile City, they can justifiably eliminate wave after wave of people.

The enemies of the Reunion Movement can't say anything yet, because they are the ones who disregard the new emperor's decrees and the laws of Ursus, and are even top-notch criminals.

However, Bai Chen quickly came to terms with it.

It's no wonder. With a leader like Talulah who's obsessed with trivial details, incompetent yet addicted to it, it's understandable that her subordinates aren't very skilled.

He had no idea what Talulah was so stubborn about, what she was obsessing over. She clearly couldn't beat anyone, and her team was a bunch of trash compared to Ursus, yet she insisted on going head-to-head with them.

After the Ursus Rebellion, large numbers of the old nobles were placed under close surveillance. The forces that were once powerful enough to shake the entire Ursus were now mostly stationed on the frontiers and in the army. However, the power, prestige, and wealth they had accumulated over the years made them still strong.

They were still powerful enough to overwhelm the new nobles, forcing even the new emperor of Ursus to make certain compromises.

But that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want without restraint. On the contrary, the old nobles of Ursus need a legitimate reason to act more than anyone else.

Based on Talulah's background and status, and especially if she lowers her noble head and acts a little sleazy and shameless, she could achieve her goal.

To be honest, the Ursus picket team and the Ursus army group couldn't even find a reason to take action against her and the infected under her command, let alone openly send troops to encircle and annihilate her.

Compared to dying in battle, which would ignite the flame, the Infected members of the Reunion Movement wanted to live and eat their fill. Wanting to live and eat their fill are basic human needs, and it's not like they would stop fighting alongside her just for that.

She insisted on setting aside the issues of food and survival, making herself shine, and having everyone accompany her on a path that was destined to lead to death and filled with despair.

Sister Talulah, the old lady who sells fruit on Mobile City Street, if you ask her if the fruit is sweet, all the old ladies will firmly say yes!

As for whether it's really sweet or not, the old nanny probably isn't quite sure.

Talulah is the kind of naive person who, when someone comes to buy fruit, insists that the fruit is sour and might even be poisonous, and that it's best not to buy it.

Who would buy it? Who would dare to buy it? If it weren't for the fact that we had nowhere to go on the tundra and that being infected meant we were ostracized by Ursus, we would have all broken up long ago.

If you're out in the game and want to conquer the world, you can't be so honest.

"Furthermore, I don't understand what this has to do with the old nobles and you, a new aristocrat?"

Froststar once again sought answers from Baichen.

"The new nobles are more supportive of the new emperor."

Bai Chen paused for a moment, then said calmly:

"I united a group of new nobles to deal with the infected problem... well, it's about some guys oppressing and persecuting the infected. I united a group of nobles to launch a heavy attack on them in terms of physics and biology, beat them half to death, arrested them for trial, threw some into prison, exiled some, and executed some."

"Those old Ursus nobles?"

"Gentle and kind Froststar asked softly."

"The new imperial decrees and Ursus laws are applied equally throughout Ursus."

Bai Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He meant that he was now on the side of the Reunion Movement, on the side of the Infected, and he would strike hard against all, regardless of whether they were old nobles, new aristocrats, or commoners.

Frostnova nodded. "I understand. There are still people in Ursus who support the Infected, even the new emperor supports them. We are not actually alone."

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow and nodded, agreeing, "Yes, yes, yes!"

While it's not entirely unrelated to the actual situation, it seems there's some truth to it.

A more realistic way to put it is that the Reunion Movement colluded with the new nobles, using the pretext of supporting the new emperor's national policies, to completely and legitimately... well, never mind, let's stop acting and justifiably eliminate the old nobles of Ursus.

The others were purely accidental.

The new emperor will be satisfied, and the new nobles will also be satisfied, because the old nobles of Ursus are too powerful and still firmly hold the military power of Ursus.

"I understand."

Froststar suddenly became spirited, stood up and walked to the carriage door, her tone resolute, "From now on, I'll be in charge of driving and keeping watch!"

What do you understand?

Bai Chen stared blankly at Shuang Xing's retreating figure.

He still had a lot to say about the current situation in Ursus.

In fact, they weren't 100% enemies of the old nobles, nor were they 100% allies of the new nobles. How could an organization that came out to fight for power have eternal enemies and friends?

The luxurious, aristocratic-style carriage encountered an Ursus checkpoint while passing through a small town near a mobile city.

The Ursus soldiers weren't too concerned about Bai Chen and his group. After Bai Chen revealed his noble status as an earl, they easily let them pass without even asking them to board the vehicle to search the wanted criminals they were looking for.

After casting a hypnotic spell on the Ursus soldiers at the checkpoint, Bai Chen had Froststar continue driving on the road.

He did not return to the carriage, but instead sat down next to Frostnova, who was sitting in the driver's seat on guard duty.

He realized something was wrong.

Such places should not typically have checkpoints, and Ursus soldiers in border regions should certainly not be so deferential to a newly risen nobleman.

At the Council of St. Glory, he was the kind of person who openly criticized the old nobles, led by the military, by cutting this or that, always finding ways to annoy them.

Although this place is still backward and barren, it is by no means an ice field, nor is it a region without mobile networks, or even a region without broadcasting or information.

Those Ursus soldiers shouldn't have failed to recognize him.

"The gap between the new aristocracy and the new nobles in this respect is still too large."

Bai Chen felt somewhat emotional.

Following the vacuum of power after the Ursus Rebellion, the new nobles who rose to prominence in Ursus through their achievements in the business world were still far too inexperienced compared to the old nobles who had served since the founding of Ursus.

Especially in terms of the lucrative institutions they control, the new nobles are particularly weak. So weak that even now, with a large number of old nobles closely watching over them and the old nobles' power being suppressed by the Ursus Council, the old nobles, with their rich foundations, still firmly control all violent institutions, including the Ursus Army Group.

After a brief period of 'confusion', the old nobles of Ursus even developed a new way to play, which was to let the new nobles slaughter them like pigs.

Whenever newly wealthy nobles in remote areas accumulate enough wealth, they are often killed by various means.

The homeless 'infected thugs' can always easily bypass the arrests of various violent institutions, ignore the armed forces in the mobile city, and carry out targeted massacres of the new nobles' mansions, slaughtering the entire family and disappearing without a trace with a huge amount of wealth.

"what?"

Shuangxing frowned slightly and looked at Bai Chen with a puzzled expression.

“I contacted a nearby count and asked them to send a commercial landship to pick me up. We can also discuss the proposals they will be submitting at the next round of the Saint-Germain Council on the ship.”

Bai Chen said calmly, "It seems that things have been leaked for various reasons, and the old members may already know my approximate location."

Froststar's delicate brows furrowed even deeper. "When did you contact the new nobles?"

She remembered that this guy just stayed in the carriage hanging out with that pointy-eared Sarkaz, as if he never did anything serious.

"Mobile city network is back online, little bunny."

Bai Chen glanced at her, his eyes full of pity. "You've been guerrilla warfare on the frozen plains for so many years, staying in that isolated place for so many years. The outside of Ursus has changed a lot. Mobile city networks are already widespread, even covering mobile cities on the frontier."

Is that so?

Froststar responded in a murmured reply.

She had been away from the city for far too long, and even her memories of the Ursus border were frozen in a distant past, when people weren't so hostile towards the infected, and would even leave bread on their windows.

"The urban network of the mobile cities on the northern frontier is even better than that of some of the more prosperous mobile cities in the central and southern regions."

Bai Chen further described to Froststar the changes that had taken place in the northern border of Ursus over the years.

In the northern border regions, mobile city networks, which provide efficient communication and transportation infrastructure, are far superior to many mobile cities due to resource allocation.

"why?"

Froststar was a little puzzled. "You said before that the warmer southern regions are where Ursus has the best economy right now. Those cities are rich, so they can build up their prosperity, unlike the cold north, which is unimaginably barren."

"In order to defend against the enemy."

"Talulah's forces and our guerrillas?"

"laugh--"

Bai Chen couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to press Frostnova's head and rubbing her long rabbit ears. "Confidence is a good thing, but where do you get the confidence to make such a vast empire as Ursus take you seriously?"

The correct answer is demons and various strange creatures that are fleeing from the north to the south because of the activity of demons.

"Alright, little rabbit, go and rest in the carriage. Don't come out unless I call you."

Bai Chen withdrew his hand. "If you encounter any accidents outside, I'll have to take time to protect you."

Froststar stared at him for a moment, then silently turned and walked towards the carriage.

Her experience fighting together on the tundra made her very clear about the fighting capabilities of this despicable guy in front of her, and she also knew that she didn't need to worry about him at all.
