I'm in Terra

"If Big Sister wasn't here, I wouldn't dare cook this snow rabbit. I finally caught some meat, it would be a shame if Big Sister couldn't taste it. It just so happened that our guerrilla team recruited a few literate infected people, and Big Sister humbly asked for instruction, spending half a day every day learning to read."

"Learning to read? That's really important." Victoria clicked his tongue and shouted outside the tent, "Leave the supplies here, brothers. Find a way to make lunch today. We'll see Alco after dinner."

"Yes!" The strong men waiting outside the door unloaded the supplies from the car, and then consciously formed groups to start cooking. A few shameless guys took the initiative to find the Snow Monster Team to borrow some tools.

As for those supplies that looked very abundant, they were naturally quickly moved back to the warehouse by the snow monsters who were watching them eagerly.

"Hey, I'm so sorry, it's just a small favor." Hearing the exclamations outside the tent, Big Bear couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He quickly fished out a few pieces of rabbit meat from the pot and personally served them to Victoria. "We don't have much to offer in this remote place, so a bowl of rabbit soup is a token of our appreciation."

Victoria smiled and took the rabbit soup without hesitation and took a sip. Although there were not many seasonings, the aroma of the freshly slaughtered snow rabbit was still mouth-watering, and the soup was not bland either. Whether it was the freshness or the saltiness, Big Bear had grasped it just right.

"Good cooking skills, it seems you are indeed an expert." Victor smacked his lips with satisfaction, and then handed the broth to Hunting Bee who had been watching eagerly on the side. Hunting Bee didn't care that the bowl and chopsticks had been used by Victor, picked up the wooden bowl and took a small sip, then made a comfortable humming sound.

Seeing this, Big Bear was very understanding and added another bowl of broth to Victoria and Paul respectively, then placed another bowl of broth separately, and finally shared the remaining leftovers with the other snow monsters in the tent.

Looking at the rabbit soup that Big Bear had placed aside, Victoria blew on it with a calm expression, "I'm not too worried about Mr. Patriot's health, but how is Ye Lina doing lately?"

Hearing Victoria asking about his elder sister's health, Daxiong couldn't hide the joy on his face: "Thanks to you..."

"Thanks to you, I've been having a very pleasant time lately." He was halfway through his words when a clear voice echoed from outside the tent. Shuangxing opened the tent curtain and sat down on the floor some distance from the campfire with a smile on her face. Behind her, two figures that looked familiar to Victoria followed.

One was a girl with horns on her head, wearing a ragged military uniform, while the other was Elafia, who looked rather pitiful, dressed in ordinary civilian clothes.

When did the two of them infiltrate the guerrillas?

Victor was a bit surprised, but his good expression helped him regain his composure. He suddenly remembered what Kashena had told him about Tallulah. It was quite possible that this infected person, who hadn't yet turned evil, was still wandering around Luxembourg. But now, as fate would have it, Tallulah had once again found herself among the infected guerrillas whose fate had been quietly altered.

"Long time no see, Victoria. I didn't expect you to come to this remote place in person." The flash of surprise in Victoria's eyes didn't escape Shuangxing's attention, but she didn't intend to dwell on such a trivial matter. After greeting Victoria and the others, Shuangxing shifted her attention to Big Bear.

"Big Bear, is there any broth left? Teacher Alina and Tallulah happen to be here today, and I thought I'd invite them to stay and have a quick meal together."

"Uh..." Big Bear scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "The remaining broth was eaten up by the few of us. Only your bowl is left for you, big sister."

"Really?" Shuangxing nodded in understanding, then picked up the bowl of broth on the ground and handed it to Alina. "I'm sorry, I said I'd treat you two to soup together, but in the end you had to share one bowl. Drink it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"No." Tallulah rejected Froststar's offer without a second thought: "What will happen to you if the two of us drink it? This is specially prepared by Big Bear for you. If you can't drink it because of us, we would rather not drink this bowl of soup."

Alina didn't interrupt, but her eyes showed she agreed with Tallulah. Seeing how determined they were to refuse, even Froststar felt a little irritated. It was the first time she'd seen someone refuse even the broth was offered to them.

Just as the situation was about to reach a stalemate, Victoria, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled and said, "Since there's not enough soup for so many people, why not divide it up? The two young teachers can share one bowl, and if Yelena doesn't mind, she can have the remaining half of my bowl, how about that?"

"Did you hear me? Just drink your soup and it's all." Hearing Victoria speak for her, Shuangxing didn't think much of it and forcefully shoved the bowl of soup, which was almost cooling, into Tallulah's hands. She was afraid that if she held it any longer, the soup in her hands would freeze.

But after Shuangxing finished her portion of the broth, she suddenly realized what Victor had said. She turned to look at Victor, only to find that he had already scooped a spoonful of broth and brought it to her mouth: "Here, try it first."

Shuangxing's pretty face flushed, but her small mouth instinctively swallowed what Victoria had given her. As her lips and tongue swallowed, a stream of slightly hot, fresh soup passed over the tip of her tongue.

"Is it delicious?" Seeing Shuangxing's adorable, stunned expression, Victoria couldn't help but reach out and gently scratch her nose. He then scooped another spoonful of warm soup for her. "It's okay if you want to feed it, but this is just this once, and it won't happen again."

"Who asked you to feed me? I can drink it myself!"

As soon as the words came out, Shuangxing's originally slightly flushed cheeks instantly turned red. She snatched the bowl and spoon from Victoria's hand in a panic and began to drink in a hurry.

Looking at the affectionate look in his eldest sister's eyes, Big Bear looked at the surrounding snow monsters, and then turned away tacitly.

A General's Success: 30 Inevitable Differences

After lunch, it was naturally time to talk about business. Although Frost Star unexpectedly brought Tallulah and Alina, this did not affect the subsequent conversation between the two sides.

"The blockade has been temporarily terminated. The supplies I brought are additional compensation." Victor clapped his hands. "As agreed, for the next period of time, any time you need additional supplies, you can trade with us in these small towns in the east. However, I personally still hope that the guerrillas can reach a deeper level of cooperation with us."

"Thank you for your kindness." Shuangxing nodded, and the blush on her face quickly returned to normal. "But before we reach a cooperation, I still have a few questions I want to confirm with you."

Victoria nodded: "You can say whatever you want."

"First question. Is Norvinsk attacking and occupying the surrounding towns?" Froststar glanced at the Hunting Bee beside Victoria, her expression somewhat serious. "You've blocked the roads, and you've been appearing repeatedly in the east. Plus, we've been encountering Norvinsk soldiers from time to time during the blockade. Do you intend to seize the territories of other nobles in the spring?"

"Now is the perfect time." Victory didn't deny Froststar's speculation. "The internal struggle within Luxembourg is about to reach a fever pitch. There won't be another such opportune moment to eliminate these scattered nobles in the next ten or even twenty years. Once the internal struggle within Luxembourg is settled, neither I nor the victor will ever have such a fair opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Similarly, there will be no place for the infected guerrillas around here."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Shuangxing's eyes: "Even if you are the final winner of the struggle?"

"Even if I'm the ultimate victor," Victor admitted frankly, "I'll take advantage of the chaos to eliminate these obstructive and potentially treacherous nobles. Then, at the height of the conflict, I'll lead all my soldiers to Luxembourg to intervene. That's my plan. If I succeed, I'll become the new leader of the Legion. Then, no one will have a second opinion in the entire Luxembourg area, and I'll have a complete, cohesive territory."

Frost Star closed her eyes. She couldn't imagine the scene Victoria described: "What if you fail?"

"I will not fail." Victor rubbed Froststar's head and smiled confidently. "So...guerrillas, will you join me and become the destined victor? You will no longer need to hide from place to place. You will have ample supplies and troops, and you will share this barren but infinitely possible territory with me."

"Gulp..." Big Bear swallowed. He glanced at his brothers beside him and found that they all looked expectant. Yes, who wouldn't long for a peaceful and tranquil life? These wanderers had lost their homes and families, so they huddled together for warmth, calling each other brothers. If only they could have a warm and peaceful home...

Who wouldn’t yearn for it?

"Unfortunately, the stubborn old man won't agree." As the princess of the snow monsters, Froststar naturally understood this principle best. But she also knew that once they joined Victory's army, they would no longer be infected guerrillas. They would become Victory's personal soldiers, fighting only for Victory's goals.

So the question is, what is Victor's purpose? Is everything he does fighting for the infected?

No.

Even though Victor didn't mind the infected, and the lives of those under his command were countless times better than those in other areas, he essentially treated them as a practical tool. If one day, the infected no longer helped him, but instead became a nuisance, then Victor would ruthlessly eliminate these troubles.

so......

"I...wouldn't agree to that either." Frost Star avoided Victoria's eyes and reluctantly declined his invitation. "The guerrillas will help you defeat the other nobles, but we will never join your army. If you become the ultimate victor in the future, we will voluntarily disappear. Of course, if we hear that you are harming the infected in the future, we will not hesitate to turn our knives against you."

"Is that so? I understand." Victor stared at Froststar, whose gaze was evasive, and calmly accepted the fact of being rejected by Froststar. "Then, please continue your struggle in the south. Norvinsk's support and commitment will remain in place. I hope that in the end, we can both achieve what we need and part ways peacefully."

"I hope so." Froststar nodded and left the tent with Tallulah and Alina.

Victor did not stay long. After a brief greeting with Daxiong, he took his soldiers and left the guerrilla base.

"What a pity..." Victor sighed with regret as he looked at the suddenly clear sky. "Perhaps this is fate. I gave the guerrillas another promising path, but in the end, they still rushed into the abyss without hesitation. Everyone, return to camp and rest for a day. From tomorrow on, make those nobles kneel before our iron hoofs!"

On the other side, Kashena, who was helping Dorothy organize documents, paused for a moment and sighed with a hint of regret, "What a pity! If Victoria could get the help of the Patriots, he would probably be able to build a formidable army that is invincible. It's a pity that those who only know how to focus on the infected are destined to be unable to embrace the earth. The infected are strength, but not everything..."

pat-

Halfway through her words, a thin document suddenly hit Kashena on the head, startling the elegant lady who had suddenly started talking to herself.

"You nympho, you're peeping at Victoria again, aren't you? It's working hours now, can't you save the peeping for the night?" Dorothy pouted in dissatisfaction. Ever since she fought alongside Kashena last time, Dorothy's impression of this black snake had slightly changed.

Of course, even if she changed, it was only from a secretive conspirator to a gloomy nympho, but at least Dorothy no longer treated Kashena with hostility and vigilance.

"It's not my fault. I just happened to find something interesting." Although Dorothy's knock on the head was not very powerful, Kashiena still cooperated and gave in. "And I just saw some good news. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it?"

Dorothy put down the document with some curiosity: "What good news can it be?"

"Does that mean we've lost a competitor?" Kasheina smiled charmingly. "It seems like that snow rabbit gave up on its own initiative, huh?"

A General's Success: 31 Sarkaz

Amidst the endless expanse of snow, a troop was slowly marching. This army was different from the ordinary Ursus soldiers. Although they also wore black uniforms, the entire team was a mess and disorganized. If this kind of military posture was the only factor, any officer with experience in actual combat would be able to boast that his troops could easily cut through them.

But if this ragtag army is the Sarkaz, the situation will be completely different.

"Pah, it's so cold. Hedley, are we really going to follow that gloomy man's orders and attack that Woden Town?"

The white-haired girl brushed off the accumulated snowflakes on her cloak, fearing that the small particles would melt and damage her hard-earned equipment. Although the explosives made from inferior source stone would not be extinguished by contact with water, the water stains would still affect their intended power.

"I remember explaining to you several times that we can run away at any time. But considering that we will be staying in Ursus for a long time, maintaining our reputation is also necessary."

Hedley carried his greatsword on his back, leaving deep footprints on the snow with every step he took.

"Tsk, what an obedient dog." Seeing Hedley still looking so stiff, the white-haired girl spat in dissatisfaction, then turned her gaze to the black-haired woman beside her: "Hey, Inès, don't you hate fighting the most? Why didn't you object this time?"

"Shut up, W. Instead of wasting your energy chatting here, why not save some energy for a few more steps? We're not far from Woden Town. If you want to complain, leave it for later." The woman called Inès glanced coldly at the white-haired girl, then asked calmly, "There's a snowy forest ahead. Why don't we set up camp there?"

Hedley nodded. He had memorized the map in Earl Rossia's office by heart. Their current location was right on the edge of Earl John's territory, and there were no villages blocking them from Woden Town. "Prepare to set up camp temporarily. After lunch, all team leaders should come to my tent. Inès, the task of setting up the guard post is now left to you."

Inès nodded, waved to the others behind her, and quickly led the team toward the snowy forest ahead. The other Sarkaz heard the order to rest and quickly quickened their pace. It was already past noon, and they were already starving.

Snow clearing, wood felling, camping. The Sarkaz's camping style was wild and simple. In less than half an hour, bonfires were lit in the snowy forest. Next to Hedley's bonfire, all the team leaders except Inès gathered.

Hedley scanned the area, confirmed everyone was present, and clapped his hands. "Well, before we begin, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can speak up now."

Everyone looked at each other and remained silent without any prior agreement. Only the white-haired girl started peeling potatoes unhappily.

"You won't tell me? If you won't tell me, I'll tell you." W fiddled with the dagger, slicing the potato repeatedly, his eyes fixed on Hedley, as if the potato in his hand was someone's head. "Why don't we just take the money and run? This place is already a mess anyway, and no one will bother us even if we just slip away."

Hedley replied calmly, "It's because this place is a mess that we have to take on this commission. Remember why we chose to go north to Luxembourg? Wasn't it because it was engulfed in war and we felt there was an opportunity? We have long experienced how bad the Sarkaz's reputation is in other countries. If we can't even maintain our credibility, we may not be able to continue to survive in this country."

As soon as he said this, several approving glances came from the team. Hedley's statement was supported by quite a number of people. As Hedley said, if the Sarkaz who were exiled to a foreign land wanted to survive, they had to rely on chaos and war.

Now, there was an opportunity to expand the scale of the war before them, and there was no reason for them not to accept it. Soon, with the response of the first few supporters, Hedley's opinion was quickly accepted by everyone. Hedley then arranged the attack order and targets of each team, and publicly established the distribution system of the spoils.

After the captains happily accepted their orders, W, the one who initially questioned them, was the only one left by the campfire. Seeing W busy peeling potatoes, Hedley scolded W for a long time, until Inès, who had been out on a scouting trip, returned to the campfire to dissuade him.

Watching Inès return, W casually threw the potatoes into the bonfire and asked calmly, "Does everyone remember?"

"Six team leaders." Hedley nodded. "All six team leaders who were initially approved are suspected. It will take some time to identify them."

"Whatever you want, just don't let me get scolded for nothing." W sneered and leaned against a box beside him. "If you can't tell them apart, it's okay to leave them to me. At worst, I'll kill them all. Tracy's lackeys, hehe, hehe, don't even think about walking out of this snowy plain alive."

"We have to take our time with the spies. The most urgent thing is to attack Woden Town first and make a show of it." Hedley took out a potato and threw it into the fire. "At least until all the spies are found, we have to act according to His Highness's plan."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not a Sarkaz anyway. I can just use you as a punching bag." W swung out the knife and accurately stabbed the potatoes in the fire. Then he pulled the string on the handle and easily took the roasted potatoes out of the fire. "I'm going to eat first. Don't bother me if you have anything to do."

Hedley and Inès said nothing as they watched W fiddling with the scalding potatoes while walking towards his tent.

"Do we really have to let W do whatever he wants?" Inès looked at Hedley with some concern. "Pulling out all the thorns in the team isn't necessarily a good thing."

Hedley stared at the bonfire quietly and replied in a low voice, "I know. If it really doesn't work out, I'll just wander with you. We've already felt sorry for Her Highness Theresa, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to let W vent his anger."

Inès sighed and reluctantly agreed to Hedley's decision: "That's the only way. After all, Ursus is not a place to stay for long. If we really follow His Highness's orders, we will be dead sooner or later."

PS: I seem to have a fever, I have a fever! Hehehe, I have a fever!

A General's Success: 32 Fleeting

Heim fell. Taris fell. The twin towns of Doko and Dolon were captured one after another. In just one month, the black and red flags representing Norvinsk were planted throughout northeastern Ursus. Victor had anticipated many possible scenarios, but this outcome had truly exceeded his expectations.

He had thought that his conquest of these small cities might go smoothly, but he hadn't expected it to be so smooth. Perhaps it was because of the bitter cold on the border, these border nobles were almost identical in their greed and shortsightedness.

They took away all the huge amounts of wealth, leaving only ruin and destruction in the territory.

Three hundred men attacked at night. Victory hadn't even used the second tactic along the way. With just three hundred elite men, he easily captured four small towns guarded by at least five hundred soldiers. This clearly showed the low quality of the local lords and officers.

Victor also took advantage of this opportunity to advance rapidly, training his troops and generals to gain experience while bringing all these territories under his rule. It was impossible to rely on them for resources, but Victor had no shortage of money.

Even though these border lords had to pay heavy taxes and tributes to their superiors, they were still very wealthy. The treasury of any border lord was enough for Victoria to cover the expenses of this southern expedition. Not to mention Miss Kashena had been actively helping Victoria connect with high-quality suppliers, continuously converting the various jewelry collections seized from Norvinsk into various urgently needed resources.

Food, new armor, heavy shields, standard crossbows, and even a few troop carriers and mortars were sent to Victoria. It can be said that except for the noble war sorcerers who could not be trained, almost all the mainstream equipment currently available in Ursus has been implemented in Norvinsk.

Only at moments like this would Victoria lament that he didn't have enough money. If he had raided a few more nobles' homes, he might have even built a modern army. Unfortunately, he couldn't raid further, because to the south would mean breaking away from Luxembourg's territory, and to the west was the now chaotic town of Woden.

It can be said that Victoria has conquered all the territories he can under the noses of several nobles, but those nobles are still worried about their own territories.

Thus, before the spring plowing season, Victor had perfectly achieved his first phase goal. He also took advantage of the situation and returned to Norvinsk with the Flying Bear Army, which had experienced numerous battles, to oversee the spring plowing season.

Victoria knew that even if he won the position of general, Norvinsk would be his strongest backing for a long time to come, so the development of this city must not stagnate.

At the same time, thanks to the rewards from this early spring land reclamation and city siege, Victoria's merit points once again reached the 10,000 mark. This meant that he could once again draw a Three Kingdoms Killing general from the prize pool to become his own.

Originally, he had planned to select officers repeatedly, intending to build up his combat power and physical resistance. However, Froststar's rejection and the recent battles had made him see his needs clearly. Barring extremely special circumstances, his current strength was more than sufficient to handle normal wars and confrontations.

In addition, whether participating in the disputes among the nobles or governing his own territory, both leadership and command abilities are needed. Therefore, after thinking it over, Victoria chose to draw from the civil servant card pool.

He had already thought it through. Since military commander cards can stack up military strength, there is no reason why civil officer cards cannot do the same. Whether it is the stacking of intelligence or the so-called stacking of spells, it is an extremely strong reinforcement for Victoria.

While Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe's ingenuity is certainly impressive, their innate ability, Victor, is never used. As one of the starting generals, Jia Xu's abilities differ from those of Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei, who both possess dual abilities. He only has one, currently ineffective ability.

'Curtain'

According to the skill descriptions in Three Kingdoms Kill, Jia Xu's ability should passively ignore certain unfavorable effects. However, when Victor drew the general card, the curtain effect required automatic activation. However, no matter how Victor tried, he didn't feel any difference after activating the curtain.

Therefore, Victoria also needs the military commander cards representing the civil officials in Chapter 2 to determine the composition of the abilities and spells described in the system.

Is it a power similar to the Year Beast Black Snake? Or is it a modified Originium technique? Or is it a special ability completely independent of either?

These are all things Victoria needs to confirm.

So, on the night he returned to Norvinsk, Victory, who had fought two opponents at once, won a series of victories, leaving the two unconscious women behind and going into the bathroom alone.

Accompanied by the sound of dripping water, Victoria's second card draw officially began.

Unlike the grand and impressive military commander card, the extraction of the civil official card was remarkably gentle. Almost without a ripple, a pale blue card was pulled from thin air by Victory. There was no sudden enlightenment, no special effects like clear-eyed or clear-mindedness that Victory had imagined. The pale blue card simply appeared before Victory, like an ordinary little card.

Victor took a deep breath and gently flipped open the officer card in front of him. With a flash of blue light, a handsome young man wearing a blue crown and holding a cluster of light blue flames appeared before Victor.

Victoria curled his lips. Even without looking at the inscription on the general card, he knew the guy on the card.

No, it’s better to say that anyone who has played Three Kingdoms Kill will definitely know this guy.

Sima Yi, courtesy name Zhongda, was a prominent official of the Cao Wei dynasty and, arguably, its subversive leader. A renowned strategist known for his genius, he was also a controversial historical figure.
