“…Please…”

Seeing that Hedley and the others seemed to obey Si Ye's orders, the Patriot knew that he had no choice but to raise his cloak and give orders to the shield guards and snow monsters behind him.

"Go back to camp."

Chapter 91 Ursus's Agent Problem

The Reunion Movement's camp was located in the lee of a forest, with a crude fence made of branches on the outside. Inside, the colorful patchwork tents and the standard tents of the Ursus military and police complemented each other, making it look very messy.

The infected people in the camp saw the Sarkaz mercenaries following the shield guards. Although they looked surprised, they did not show any discrimination or disgust. After all, in Ursus, the infected people were already the lowest of the lowest, so how could they have the courage to discriminate against others?

It has to be said that Si Ye's first impression of the entire Integration Movement was very bad. The camp was filled with a sense of chaos. This sense of chaos not only refers to the superficial chaos of the camp itself, but also refers to the chaos of the Integration Movement infected people in the camp.

Some infected people were busy going back and forth in and out of the camp, spontaneously storing fuel for the camp; some infected people lay motionless by the fire, oblivious to what was happening outside, with the look of dejection visible to the naked eye on their faces.

This is bad.

This means that the entire integration movement does not have complete rules or regulations to assign everyone what they should do. Sooner or later, the hardworking infected will be dissatisfied with the inaction of the lazy infected, and the infected who want to be lazy will also be dissatisfied with being forced to work by others. This is an obvious problem. If it continues, conflicts will break out sooner or later.

The Patriot went to arrange a temporary camp for the Sarkaz mercenaries. Si Ye approached Frost Star, who was sitting idle, and asked, "Is this how the Reunion Movement will continue?"

"...Tallulah's not here. If she were here, those lazy people would be more restrained."

Frost Star looked at Si Ye in surprise. Her Originium skill was Ice. As her Ore Sickness became more serious, the air around her was much colder than the wind in the tundra. Even the Yeti Squad couldn't stay by her side for long, but Si Ye didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Just to be more restrained?"

Si Ye narrowed his eyes, realizing that he had missed something again.

"As the number of infected defecting to the Reunion increased, we urged her to come up with some comprehensive regulations to constrain them, but she always said something like, 'The infected are free, we shouldn't use our will to constrain them.' It was all very pedantic. But after all, Tallulah is the leader of the Reunion, so it's not right for the old stubborn woman and I to interfere in such matters."

Speaking of this matter, Frost Star seemed to open up. It seemed that she was a little dissatisfied with the chaotic management of the Reunion Movement. However, since Tallulah was the leader of the entire organization, she couldn't interfere too much.

"Didn't you say you were here to see Tallulah? Don't you know her character?"

Frost Star was actually quite curious about Tallulah's identity. After all, Tallulah's old military uniform and luxurious weapons didn't seem like she was from an ordinary family. However, everyone had their own sad past, and asking questions about such things would easily touch upon the wounds, so Frost Star could only suppress her curiosity.

"Hiss~ Let me recall the memories."

Tallulah Atrias, whose biological mother is Wei Yanwu's sister, the princess of Yan State, and whose father is Draco, who has the claim of Victorian imperial power. It can be said that Tallulah was full of buffs when she was born.

Because of the plan of "Black Snake" Koschei, and under pressure from within Yan State and Victoria, Wei Yanwu killed Edward with his own hands in exchange for Tallulah's safety, but it also laid hidden dangers.

When the black snake Koschei sneaked into Longmen again, Tallulah, who was deceived by Koschei with the revenge for her father's murder, voluntarily followed Koschei back to Ursus and was raised by Koschei as his adopted daughter and heir.

Although Tallulah saw through Kocece's evil face when she grew up and killed him with her own hands, Kocece, as an immortal of Ursus, his special Originium skills had already taken effect on Tallulah. Once Tallulah agreed with Kocece's ideas and will, she would become the new Black Snake.

After recalling all this, Si Ye knew what he had overlooked.

He was so focused on the claims made on Tallulah that he completely forgot about the Black Snake Koschei's Originium technique of possession. Because the other party must agree with his will in order to facilitate the effectiveness of the Originium technique, Koschei's education of Tallulah was extreme since she was a child.

Tallulah, who does not want to accept Kosice's will, can only go to the other extreme, but there is no black and white in this world.

Tallulah's diode model destined her to believe that human nature is inherently good and that everyone can treat others with sincerity before she was beaten by society. She is even more foolish than a college graduate.

Once she is beaten by society, she will quickly degenerate due to the gap, activating the Originium skills left in her by the Black Snake and turning into a black snake.

In this situation, even if Si Ye could remove Black Snake's Originium skills from Tallulah more easily than drinking water, Tallulah's way of thinking had already been formed, and it would be difficult to correct it without causing some trouble and suffering a few beatings from life. The current chaotic integration movement was the best example.

If Si Ye really chooses Tallulah as his agent, he will probably have to run around helping this clear-eyed Tallulah clean up her mess.

"Damn... Black Snake!"

A candidate for the empress who was once three times declared to be a queen has turned into a college student with clear eyes. Si Ye has the urge to catch the black snake and stuff it into the estrus pack animal.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

In Shuangxing's eyes, Si Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly started shaking his head like a convulsion, and finally even started swearing, as if he was having a seizure.

Frost Star originally wanted to push Si Ye to wake him up, but her body temperature was too low due to her mineral sickness. If she made any contact with him rashly, she might even get frostbite on him, so she could only stand there, at a loss.

"Uh-huh!"

Si Ye turned his head to look at Shuang Xing, looking her up and down.

Frost Star's parents were sent to the mine because they opposed Ursus's wartime control strategy. Frost Star was born in the mine. Her parents and even her grandmother were killed by the mine garrison in a ridiculous way of drawing lots. She has been tempered at the bottom and witnessed the corruption and degeneration of Ursus.

After being adopted by a patriot, as an adopted daughter, she received the patriot's teachings and guidance. In this tundra that was like a literary desert, she had a good cultural literacy and also learned the true military and political knowledge.

After thinking about it, Si Ye suddenly felt that there was no point in asking for a tower. Frost Star was simply the perfect candidate for Ursus's agent. Although he did not claim to provide any convenience, he also indirectly got a reason to reform Ursus more conveniently.

After all, what other reasons would a common peasant need to hang the noble lord of Saint Jun Castle?

As for Frost Star's severe Originolone disease, it is not a big deal for Si Ye, who has a subordinate and cooperative relationship with the previous civilization. Not to mention that there are now Originolone disease blockers that can completely inert the Originium components. Once Priss and the doctor get back the complete Originium authority, even if Frost Star is blown into Originium dust, Si Ye can let Priss pull Frost Star out from the internalized universe.

"Miss Froststar..."

"Just call me Froststar..."

Frost Star felt uncomfortable being stared at by Si Ye, but because Si Ye seemed to be related to the Patriot's mysterious homeland, Kazdel, she could only endure it.

"Frost Star, do you hate the Ursus Empire?"

"Ah? As an infected person, that's for sure."

Shuangxing didn't understand the meaning of Si Ye's question, but she just answered it casually and told Si Ye her thoughts.

Her parents and grandmother all died in the persecution of Ursus. It is impossible not to hate the Ursus Empire, but Frost Star is just a small infected person. If she hadn't been rescued by patriots, she would have died when she drew a black ticket at the age of 11. Even if she hates it, what can she do?

"very good."

Si Ye came close to Shuang Xing and suddenly grabbed Shuang Xing's hand.

Frost Star was suddenly attacked by Si Ye and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away. After all, in her current state, the low body temperature brought on by her oripathy would cause frostbite to anyone who came into contact with her, and the high body temperature of anyone who came into contact with her would also burn Frost Star herself, but...

Frost Star only felt a long-lost warmth in Si Ye's hand. For someone like her who could only feel the heat from the spicy candy mixed with wine and spices, the warmth was so wonderful that she lost the urge to pull her hand away in an instant.

Si Ye said: "Become my agent and overthrow the corrupt and decadent Ursus Empire."

However, Si Ye did not wait for a reply from Frost Star who was immersed in the warmth and in a trance. Instead, he felt a chill beside him.

"What are you doing."

The voice was hoarse and low, as if rising from the Nine Nether Hell. Si Ye turned his head and saw that the black and red Sarkaz witchcraft was surging around the patriot holding a halberd, and the red eyes under the mask were flashing scarlet light.

Si Ye looked at Shuang Xing, whose hand he was holding, and then looked at the Patriot behind him who was about to use witchcraft to strengthen himself and attack. From the Patriot's perspective, the situation on the scene really looked like Si Ye was doing something to Shuang Xing.

"Ahem, it's just a misunderstanding. I just want to get Miss Frost Star to work for me."

Si Ye quickly let go of Shuang Xing's hand and took several steps back, indicating that it was all a misunderstanding.

"Ah~"

The warm feeling faded, and the numbness brought by the low temperature came back to her body. Frost Star sighed imperceptibly, but when she saw that the Patriot seemed to think that Si Ye had done something to her and was about to attack, Frost Star still spoke up to stop him.

"Old stubborn man, I'm fine. This gentleman really wanted to recruit me, but he was a little excited."

The black and red witchcraft ripples gradually subsided. The Patriot looked at Frost Star, then at Si Ye, and finally accepted Frost Star's statement.

"Tallulah, I'm back. I want to see you."

After saying that, the Patriot wanted to leave expressing his dissatisfaction, but turned back, as if he was afraid that Si Ye would do something to Shuangxing again.

"Yelena, let's go."

Chapter 92 Tallulah

Following Patriot and Froststar, Si Ye met Tallulah at the other end of the camp.

The silver-gray shoulder-length hair was somewhat messily draped over the shoulders. Unlike the dragons of Yan Country, the hair had sharper edges and corners that protruded from between the strands. The eyes were like torches, as if there was an inextinguishable flame dancing in them.

Tallulah was wearing the old Ursus officer uniform that Si Ye remembered, except that the Ursus logo had been removed and replaced with a flag armband representing the Reunion Movement.

According to Frost Star, they split up to attack the nearby infected patrol team, but judging from Tallulah's gray face and dirty officer uniform, it was obvious that the battle she was in charge of was not easy.

"How did you get yourself into such a mess?"

Frost Star looked at Tallulah's appearance. Although she was joking, she had already handed her a clean towel.

"That patrol team was carrying a howitzer, but we didn't notice it during the raid. Fortunately, I detonated the shell in advance, otherwise there would have been a big disaster."

After roughly wiping her face clean, Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief.

The team led by Talulah is composed of infected people who voluntarily joined the battle in the Reunion Movement. Naturally, these people's physical fitness and fighting spirit cannot be compared with the Snow Monster Shield Guards. If it were not for her powerful Originium skills, there might have been casualties this time.

"I heard from Mr. Patriot that someone is looking for me?"

Tallulah looked past Frost Star and saw Si Ye who was being stared at by the Patriot.

In fact, she had been extremely alert, even to the point of ninety percent. She thought she would see Koschei's dark snake scales, but what she saw was Si Ye, a muscular man in casual clothes walking on the tundra.

"Well, I'm looking for you."

Si Ye was also examining Tallulah and came to the conclusion that, to put it nicely, Tallulah looked heroic in her military uniform, but to put it bluntly, Tallulah had no femininity at all.

"I came to the tundra to see if the infected organizations in this frozen land are worthy of my support and investment, but from what I have seen so far, the Integration Movement has disappointed me."

"…invest?"

Tallulah frowned. The word "investment" disgusted her. The Integration Movement was an organization that sought benefits for the infected, not a tool for others to attack Ursus.

"Yes, investment. Isn't the Reunion Movement an organization that seeks profit for the infected? Doesn't seeking profit require weapons and supplies? Are you trying to convince the noble lord of Saint Castle with your words?"

Si Ye had a playful look on his face. Tallulah, who was still a fighter, was indeed full of passion and motivation. This was also the reason why she could rely on her personal charm to attract so many infected people, but her passion and courage could not help her make up for the deviation in her ideas.

“…if justice requires more violence to be achieved, how can it be called justice?”

As expected, Tallulah said something extremely childish considering the current situation of the infected.

When the Integration Movement openly raised the banner of seeking benefits for the infected, they were destined to embark on the path of armed struggle, but Tallulah obviously had not thought so much. She just shouted the slogan and did not think about how to arm herself or who to fight.

In other words, Black Snake's education made Tallulah subconsciously want to avoid the option of violence. She can use her own force to defend against the persecution of the infected by the outside world, but she will never admit that the fairness sought by the infected needs to be seized by force, because using violence in this way will make her agree with Black Snake's ideas.

Black Snake Kosice had long seen through Tallulah's shallow thoughts and cleverly blocked all of Tallulah's choices in education. If Tallulah had quietly taken over Black Snake's position as Grand Duke of Ursus, there might have been a possibility for her to get out of this vicious circle.

But just like a child in her rebellious period, Kosciuszko's ideas were all unacceptable poison to Tallulah. Under this active and forced coercion, she embarked on a path that had been blocked.

"So the Reunification Movement really hopes to use words to convince those nobles to give up their wealth and bring you so-called justice?"

Si Ye pointed outside the camp, where the patrol supplies seized by the Integration Movement during this operation were still piled up.
