From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"You just used violence to destroy a patrol team's persecution of the infected, and yet you're here saying that justice for the infected shouldn't be achieved through even greater violence?"

"This is different."

Tallulah paused, and the struggle on her face clearly showed that she must know whether Si Ye's words were right or wrong, but she had to refute them.

"The Integration Movement is only defending itself. We will not use force unless necessary."

Tallulah seemed to have found her train of thought, and her speech became increasingly fluent.

"Even if we attack the mine, it's only the infected people inside that are persecuted first. We are only trying to stop this persecution and save more of our compatriots, not to use violence to forcibly obtain anything."

This evasive answer does have some truth to it, but unfortunately, when applied to the continent of Terra and the barbaric empire of Ursus, such words are extremely childish.

"You'd rather hypnotize yourself than think about the nature of this world. Amazing."

Simple verbal stimulation was not enough to trigger the Originium skill left by the black snake on Tallulah's body. Si Ye had to observe her further.

"Let's put the issue of the Reunion Movement aside for now. The other matter concerns the Patriots and Froststar, as well as their shield-guarding Yeti. I want to recruit them, and to avoid any unnecessary conflict, I'm giving you a heads-up."

Si Ye casually said that he wanted to dig up the roots of the Integration Movement.

Given the huge scale of infected people in the Reunion Movement, if it weren't for the two elite members, the Shield Guard and the Snow Monster, it wouldn't take long for Talulah to run into a dilemma with supplies. Perhaps the Reunion Movement would fall apart without the need for a patrol attack.

"???"

Tallulah subconsciously looked at the Patriot and gave him a pleading look.

Obviously, Talulah also understood that once Patriot and Froststar were lost, the integration movement of its current scale would be finished in no time. However, the relationship between Patriot and Froststar and the integration movement was more like a shareholder cooperation rather than a subordinate. She could not say anything like forbidding them to leave.

"This involves another problem."

The Patriot met Tallulah's gaze with a frank answer.

"At this moment, we have not agreed to leave."

After receiving the answer from the Patriot, Tallulah, still feeling uneasy, looked at Froststar again.

"...You old stubborn guy makes the decision. You see, I'm useless. But I'm quite satisfied with my time in the Reunion Movement and I won't leave easily."

Frost Star spread her hands and said some words to comfort Tallulah.

"Really, Miss Froststar, you won't consider becoming my agent?"

Si Ye, facing the murderous gaze of the Patriot, moved closer to Frost Star.

"As my agent, perhaps you can become the first empress of Ursus. How about adding Catherine to your name then?"

As Si Ye approached, the warm memories from before flooded into Shuang Xing's heart, causing her to swallow uncomfortably. However, she jokingly rejected Si Ye's seemingly unrealistic ramblings, saying,

"It's better not to tell jokes like this."

"What if it's not a joke?"

Words alone cannot convince Shuangxing, and Siye is not in a hurry.

After sensing the current location of the Big Radish, it was still within Victoria and was two-thirds of the distance to Yan Country.

Si Ye confirmed that he could still stay in the Reunion Movement for a few more days, so he looked at Tallulah again.

"I'll just be staying with Reunion for a few days. Tell me the amount of supplies my men and I have consumed, and I'll pay you double."

"…As long as you don't cause trouble, the Reunion welcomes you."

Tallulah originally wanted to refuse, but the Patriot's vague words proved that Si Ye seemed to have some relationship with the Patriot. After considering many factors, Tallulah chose to agree to let Si Ye stay in the camp.

Chapter 93 Hedley the Clever

The location that Talulah arranged for Si Ye and the Sarkaz mercenaries was in the western hinterland of the entire camp, which was one of the few prime areas in the entire camp.

Although the infected people of the Integration Movement did not say anything when Tallulah was in charge, the dissatisfaction in their eyes could still be clearly seen. It seemed that although Tallulah could rely on her prestige to make these infected people restrain themselves, it was only limited to the surface.

"Hedley, although there was a minor error in your mission, it can be considered completed. You can return to Kazdel to settle the payment."

Hedley and his companions arrived at the tundra and found the Reunion Movement. Although they failed to join, Si Ye's projection also arrived.

As long as we insert a more complete beacon and put up a shield, and wait for the Yan Kingdom to be settled, Si Ye can fly over directly and then attack Ursus.

So it's not wrong to say that Hedley and the others have completed their mission.

"Kazdel is still short of people. Perhaps you and Ines can learn to become scholars who teach people how to read and write. And by the way, you can send W to school. Don't let her talent go to waste."

"…Can we make another choice?"

Actually, Hedley was very excited to hear this. When he was a mercenary, he had written many books in his spare time. Now he could make use of his strengths, which was a perfect future for him.

However, he couldn't just think about himself, he also had to consider the old brothers in the mercenary group. Si Ye, the actual leader of Kazdel, was right in front of him, and Hedley planned to seize the opportunity.

"Hmm? You think being a scholar is bad? Kazdel is just short of intellectuals right now. Once the first batch of students are trained, you can do what you want, even if it means being a slicing man for a streamer."

Hedley didn't understand the teasing in Si Ye's words. He wanted to seize the opportunity to gain another merit for the entire mercenary group.

"You're probably planning to deploy in Ursus, so you'll definitely need manpower. My mercenary group and I would be more willing to serve you than returning to Kazdel now."

Hedley knew that he was just an ordinary Sarkaz in front of Si Ye, and this might be his only chance to directly contact Si Ye. This made him wonder if this was his only chance in this life.

As a bystander, Hedley understood that what Si Ye said to Carters called Frost Star was not a joke. This gentleman really intended to take action against the huge Ursus. Isn't this a chance to earn a large pension?

As for risks, there is no such thing as risk for mercenaries. Moreover, with the financial resources and strength shown by Si Ye, there can be no risk unless Ursus is hiding a wizard king-level figure.

"After all, he is one of the rare intellectuals in Sakazi. He is smart."

Although Si Ye hadn't yet arranged a plan for Ursus, it was clear that the Patriots would not be willing to return to Kazdel for a while, and Frost Star would also need a little time. Leaving a team behind was indeed much more convenient than just placing a beacon.

"Because of your attitude, no matter how you perform on the subsequent missions, you and your mercenary group will receive a generous reward when you return to Kazdel."

All Hedley wanted was some supplies, which was easy to satisfy. Si Ye naturally had no reason to be stingy and directly pointed out Hedley's purpose and satisfied him.

"Thank you for your generosity. We will go through fire and water to help you."

Maybe it was because Si Ye had appeared in front of Hedley with the appearance of a Yan Nation dragon, so Hedley used these four-character words in a row.

"Alright, your current mission is to follow the Reunion Movement. I have other matters to attend to in Yan Country, so this projection won't be in Ursus for long. But I will make arrangements for you before I leave, and I'll also leave you with a backup plan. You can react accordingly or wait until I'm done with Yan Country."

Si Ye arranged the current task for Hedley, and then walked leisurely towards the outskirts of the Reunion Movement camp.

...

It gets dark earlier in the tundra, and bonfires are lit in the camp. Although bonfires increase the risk of exposing the camp, in the Ursus tundra, if someone spends the night in a simple tent, there is a high probability that he will not wake up the next day.

Tallulah's tent, or the camp of the top leaders of the entire integration movement, is located on the outskirts of the camp in order to maximize the safety of the camp.

Even because the discipline of the Reunion Movement and the quality of the infected warriors are uneven, the shield guards and snow monsters will arrange additional alert sentries in addition to the Reunion Movement's sentry arrangements. They are afraid that the infected who are assigned to guard the night will be sneaky and allow the enemy to sneak into the camp.

When Si Ye arrived at the camp, Patriot was staring at the map, thinking. He was moving the entire camp, trying to lure the patrol team that was chasing them. All the tactical and strategic work depended on him alone, which often required him to plan tactics late into the night. It was only because Wendigo's body was strong enough, otherwise...

Si Ye looked at the Patriot and shook his head. Beside the campfire, the Yeti team seemed to be preparing dinner for tonight.

Seeing Si Ye coming, the snow monster was a little reluctant, but still served Si Ye a bowl, and even put as many vegetable pieces as possible in it.

"Is this what the Yeti and the Shield Guard eat at night?"

Si Ye looked at the food in the bowl in front of him with a twitching expression. It's not that he was pretentious and couldn't eat simple food, he just didn't quite understand it.

Ursus-style vegetable soup is simple and rough. It is just to cut the vegetables into pieces, throw them into the pot and boil them with spices. The integration movement was poorer and did not use too many spices, so the original taste of the vegetables was greatly preserved.

If the infected were starving, eating these would still be considered a luxury, but the elite snow monsters and shield guards also ate these. Si Ye found it difficult to understand how they maintained their combat effectiveness.

“If you don’t want to eat it, give it to someone else.”

Looking at Si Ye's expression, Shuang Xing thought that he looked down on these shabby things, and his tone was not very good.

"I just think that as elite troops, we should be treated better. After all, snow monsters and shield guards need to undertake many tasks, right?"

The canned starfish were all left to the doctor. Si Ye had not yet restocked his stock, but he still had a lot of ordinary food. He selected a batch of canned meat. Under Frost Star's surprised gaze, the canned food piled next to Si Ye was higher than the fire.

"Hey, I remember your name is Big Bear, right? Give the Yeti and the Shield Guards a snack. Do you really think those Shield Guards can carry their heavy armor just by eating this vegetarian soup?"

Looking at the pattern of meat on the can in the firelight, Big Bear's saliva was almost flowing, but he still tried to restrain his impulse and cast an inquiring look at Frost Star.

Frost Star actually didn't want to accept Si Ye's things, after all, one should be grateful for what one has received. But seeing the eager eyes of the snow monsters, she, as the eldest sister, had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

Noticing that Tallulah was lost in thought staring at the can of food next to Si Ye, Shuangxing sighed, "Big Bear... forget it, don't just eat it all by yourself. Share it with everyone, and send some more to the Shield Guards."

Soon, cheers broke out in the camp as Big Bear distributed canned food. The vegetable soup with canned meat finally gave off an enticing aroma.

There are too many infected people in the Reunion Movement now. If the canned food provided by Siye is only given to the Yeti and the Shield Guard, it will be enough for them to have a full meal. But after it is dispersed, it will only be enough to improve the taste of the vegetable soup.

Soon, the infected people in the camp had some conflicts over who ate more and who ate less. Tallulah was forced to stand up and mediate, and Si Ye took the opportunity to grab Tallulah's seat and sat next to Frost Star.

"Miss Frost Star, what are your thoughts? Do you want to become my agent?"

"Because of a batch of canned goods?"

Frost Star rummaged through her pocket and took the slightly turbid candy in her hand.

"After eating your can of food, I'll give you some candies as a return gift."

Frost Star's candy, this might be a way for Frost Star to express her goodwill. Si Ye took it from her hand, looked at it, and threw it directly into his mouth.

“…the alcohol content is a bit low, and it should have had more mint, which would have made it more stimulating.”

Chapter 94 Tower Hanhan

"The materials you mentioned aren't available on the tundra. We'd be lucky to find some inferior wine."

Seeing Si Ye eat the spicy candy and make some comments, Shuang Xing's attitude seemed to soften a lot and she shrugged.

"You can create so much food at once, so why are you so obsessed with letting me be your agent?"

"Because you're suitable. You have a grudge against the current political system in Ursus, and you've received guidance from the Patriots. The Patriots will support your decisions. Most importantly, you're not naive. Therefore, compared to Tallulah, you're undoubtedly a more suitable agent."

Si Ye sipped the spicy candy, counting the advantages of Frost Star one by one. The spicy candy collided between his lips and teeth, making a crackling sound.

"So, your original choice was Tallulah, but you later found her to be too... childish."

Frost Star didn't seem to expect Si Ye to use the word childish to describe Tallulah, and she forced a smile on her stiff face.

"Although her problem has certain external factors, she is still childish. This is related to her education and experience."

Si Ye pointed to the camp where the commotion had gradually subsided after Tallulah left.
