I'm in Terra

Mudstone nodded: "We have made a decision."

"Really?" Victoria knocked his head and pondered for a moment:

"How about this? Bodyguards, recruit instructors, armed police, Luxembourg is short of people in all walks of life right now. With your abilities, it's fine to occasionally work in the development zone, but staying there for a long time would be a waste. How about this? I'll hire you as my personal bodyguard, and you'll lead a team to be responsible for my daily safety. In return, Luxembourg will open recruitment to all professions. As long as your people are suitable, they can go anywhere they want. How do you say it?"

"Personal bodyguard?" Mudstone raised his head and glanced at Victoria with some doubt. Although they had never fought before, Victoria's elusive Originium skills and the faintly emerging astonishing aura were enough to prove his strength.

"With your strength... do you need a bodyguard?"

"It's just a show of style," Victoria said with a smile. "As the lord of a city, I have to be a bit stylish when I travel. Before, I always transferred a small team from the army as an entourage, but that was too much trouble."

Mud Rock nodded in understanding, but still hesitated. "But being a bodyguard is a profession that requires a lot of trust, right? We've only met twice, and you trust us so much?"

"I've seen your performance in the Reunion Movement and your attitude towards joining the Reclamation Team." Victor smiled and took out the letter Froststar had given him.

"A team willing to take the initiative to cover for their comrades. I believe you and your subordinates are all good people. How about this, I'll tell you the benefits in advance. I'll arrange for five people, including you, to stay with me every day. You will be responsible for personal protection, and the others will be responsible for standing guard, guarding the door, and other miscellaneous tasks. I don't care who is responsible for protection every day. I will pay you 5 cents a month. The average bodyguard's salary is 5,000 rubles a month, including food and accommodation. In your case, I will give you four times that, which is 20,000 rubles. At the same time, you will also be given an additional medical quota every month, which means free medical treatment. How is it?"

"Four, four times?" Mudstone's eyes widened, his not-so-bright brain working frantically. "5,000 per person, 20,000 for four people. If I also get four times as much, that's 20,000 per person... 40,000 rubles in total, and food and lodging included?"

Victoria smiled and nodded: "Why?"

"...Let's do it!" Without much hesitation, Mudstone agreed to Victoria's recruitment.

When they were on the reclamation team, they calculated they could earn around 5,000 rubles a week. While that seemed like a lot, it was the result of the entire team's hard work. Now, as long as they sent four people out every day, they could earn the same amount they'd worked so hard for, and the others could find work of their own accord.

Niyan didn't know if this was her only chance in her life to have such a good thing, but she decided to cherish it.

A place where he can live, and even live a comfortable life, is the biggest temptation for Mudstone.

"Well, from today on, you are my boss. Boss, do you want to gather everyone this afternoon?" After agreeing to Victoria, Mudstone quickly put on his helmet and got into work mode.

"Don't worry. I'll give you a day off today. Go and take care of the personnel and other people's affairs. Tomorrow morning, you and your people will wait for me at the door of the city hall." Victoria waved his hand and generously approved half a day off for Mud Yan.

"Okay, boss, see you tomorrow." Mudstone nodded and left the office quickly and neatly.

"Well, now that Mud Rock's issue is resolved, it's Andre's family's turn. A Tao, have you arranged for them to come over?"

"I'm already waiting in the reception room downstairs."

Wine Pool and Meat Forest: 61 new members

Her long, silvery-white hair was tied into a ponytail, and her eyes, as blue as the starry sky, were covered with glasses that symbolized wisdom. After a careful wash, the long dress that represented nobility was removed, replaced by a capable and elegant office lady uniform.

After only an hour or two of not seeing each other, Lady Yevina was mentally prepared and met Victoria with a completely new attitude.

"It's great to see you again so soon, Ms. Yevina. You've adapted even faster than I thought." Victoria enthusiastically led Yevina to her seat, while openly admiring Yevina's new look.

The elegant and dignified noble lady looked quite different in the slim-fitting OL uniform, and the thunderbolt that was about to burst out silently accused the uniform of being too narrow. Obviously, Yevina didn't waste time on purchasing clothes, but directly borrowed Miss Dorothy's uniform.

"I'm pleased to meet you, too, Mr. Victoria, or rather... Lord Victoria?" Compared to Victoria's amazement, Yevina's heart was no less surprised. She had heard her husband introduce Victoria's identity back in Che City, but it was only after she actually inquired at the city hall that she realized just how outstanding the young man she had met was.

The son of General Akaski? Akaski was already dead, and his reputation had long been comparable to her father's. Coupled with the rumors she had just heard, Yevina no longer had the casualness she had when they first met.

Victoria smiled faintly and took the initiative to sit next to Yevina. "This matter is not worth mentioning. I introduced myself to Mr. Andre in this way before, not intentionally concealing it, but the fact that a general who has just come of age sounds a bit shocking. In comparison, my father's well-known reputation is more likely to gain your trust, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort. By the way, has Miss Leah's affairs been arranged?"

"Thanks to you, the information of various high schools has been delivered to the villa. I plan to let Leah have a brief look at it first, and then go to your house in person to make a selection tomorrow." Feeling Victoria's unusual enthusiasm, Yevina's delicate face blushed slightly, but when she found that there were two young and beautiful secretaries in the office busy handling official business (pretending), the charm in her heart was forcibly suppressed.

The Lord has already achieved such great things at such a young age, and the capable secretaries around him are all beautiful women. A married woman like me must be beyond the Lord's aesthetic standards. In comparison, it's Leah who is more worrying...

No, maybe it's actually a good thing that Victor has a crush on Leah...

Looking at the shy beauty lost in thought beside him, Victoria felt unusually relieved. "It's okay. We can take our time with Leah. I believe there are so many schools in Luxembourg, and there must be one that can meet Leah's needs. But Madam Yevina, have you made a decision on the matter you discussed with me on the way?"

Yevina returned to reality and nodded slightly awkwardly. "Yes. I don't have many talents. I only know some small things like reading, writing, playing chess, calligraphy and painting. If the Lord does not mind, I am willing to serve as your secretary and share your worries in return for saving my life."

"In return for saving my life...?" Victoria smiled faintly, the lust in his eyes completely subsided. "I'm not the kind of person who would ask for a favor in return, and Mr. Andre has given me more than enough in return. But speaking of work, my office is indeed short of a secretary to take care of miscellaneous matters. If Ms. Yevina doesn't mind, I would like to let you try."

"Thank you so much." Yevina nodded gratefully.

Just like that, under the two girls' either dissatisfied or thoughtful gazes, Victoria's office returned to a size of four people.

Oh, maybe five. After all, Miss Mudstone is such a beautiful girl, it would be a bit of a spoiler to leave her outside the door all the time.

However, compared to the charming and relaxed atmosphere in Victoria's office, the mood in Rhodes Island was heavy. The news of the doctor's failed rescue attempt quickly spread among the top management, casting a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Without the Doctor, how will Rhode Island develop in the future? No one knows the answer to this question.

But there was something interesting about the situation. Kel'tsit, the head of the Medical Department and the person in charge of Rhodes Island, wasn't overly gloomy. While the doctor's disappearance was certainly important, the young earl's words were equally worthy of reflection.

The Reunion Movement occupied Che City, the Lord of the North suddenly appeared in Che City, and the Doctor, who was buried underground in Che City, mysteriously disappeared. Although there was no definitive evidence, Kal'tsit always felt that there was an inexplicable connection between these events.

The best way to connect these things was for her to go to Luxembourg in person and have an in-depth exchange with the young count.

She had a hunch that the young Earl named Victoria was inextricably linked to the Doctor, but she was still shrouded in mystery and unable to discern the truth.

"Dr. Kel'tsit, the recovery team has returned."

Just as Kal'tsit was staring at the screen, lost in thought, Amiya, the nominal leader of Rhodes Island, knocked on the door and walked in. "Just as you provided, the recovery team discovered a large amount of buried supplies at the target location. These are suspected to be resources hidden by unknown forces before the chaos in Che City. Should we recover them?"

Kal'tsit took the order and breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the supplies listed on it. "Of course, this is considered an advance payment for the operation. Amiya, please record it in advance. I will lead a medical team to the northern border of Ursus in a week to provide medical assistance to the owner of this batch of supplies.

Rhodes Island will be anchored at the border between Ursus and Yan Country. You will be responsible for monitoring the whereabouts of the Reunion Movement. I have a feeling these infected thugs won't stop. If they are about to act again, send someone to notify me and I will rush back in advance.

"Do you mean that they will continue to cause riots?" Amiya frowned.

As someone who had experienced this firsthand, she knew how mad those infected people were. If they were allowed to continue, perhaps all the infected people in the world would be affected. That was a situation that Rhodes Island, committed to resolving the incident peacefully, did not want to see.

Furthermore, Amiya hadn't mentioned one thing. The reconnaissance team had seen traces of Sarkaz activity during the Reunion Movement, and the captain of the reconnaissance team had even witnessed the long-missing W.

She wasn't sure whether the riot in Che City had anything to do with Tracy.

Wine and meat: 62 clear goal

"How is the occupation going?"

"Some blocks in the north are damaged. We don't have any craftsmen who can repair them right now. Also, that area is too polluted with Originium. If people were to live there, I'm afraid..."

"Then abandon it." Alina stopped painting and looked at Yelena seriously. "We only need the blocks we can use. Anything that's too much will only slow us down and consume our energy. Haven't we counted them? The area we've captured is more than enough for us to use. We can even build a few more playgrounds. Instead of worrying about that block, we should think about how to accommodate the prisoners."

Overhearing the two discussing the prisoners, Tallulah, who had been pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, was the first to offer a suggestion: "How about finding a place to release them? These are useless civilians. Keeping them in the city will serve no purpose other than wasting food."

Yelena nodded in agreement. "Father thinks so, too. But Mephisto wants to hand these ordinary people over to his men for disposal, under the pretext of venting his anger at being oppressed."

"Venting off their anger?" Alina narrowed her eyes, her expression unremarkable. "Hasn't what Checheng done enough to vent their anger? Reject his proposal. If he dares to bring it up again, I will punish him personally. As for those civilians... my suggestion is that they stay."

Tallulah and Yelena looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "Stay? Why?"

"Because these civilians represent our attitude." Alina picked up the drawing board in her hand, on which was a crude sketch. The two of them looked carefully and could vaguely tell that it was a map.

"Broken Bones has compiled a resource inventory, and the city's supplies are more than enough to sustain us until next year. Therefore, I suggest keeping these civilians and treating them well. Not only can they serve as our reserve forces, but they can also be used as bargaining chips in critical moments. There's plenty of space in the city anyway, so we can just designate an area specifically for them to live in."

"Not impossible." Yelena frowned. "This area of the East District was conquered by my father and me. Our men rarely attack ordinary citizens. If we want to appease them, most people should accept the status quo."

Alina nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, let's proceed with this arrangement. Also, call all the cadres here. We are going to announce our future plans."

A moment later, all the cadres came to the tent. Among them, Mephistopheles, who had heard Alina's attitude, was hiding behind Faust in fear.

Alina ignored them and simply glanced at everyone: "Huh? Where's Captain Garson? Wasn't he notified?"

"Garson's dead, huh?" W, who had been following everyone with a smile, raised his right hand high upon hearing this and answered Alina's question like a primary school student. "At that time, in addition to the military and police forces in Che City, there was also a group of mercenaries made up of ordinary people and infected people. Garson and his men tried to wipe them out, but were killed by &&&. Now all his mercenaries are under my control, haha."

"Really?" Alina's expression remained unchanged. She simply glanced at W in the crowd and said, "Have you found out who those mercenaries are? If conditions permit, we can avenge Garson in the future."

W smiled brightly. "I don't know. I was cleaning the streets at the time, and it was Garson's little brother who told me the news. Haha, what bad luck."

"Then let's stop talking about Garson." Seeing this, Alina stopped talking about Garson's death and tacitly agreed to the power transfer within the Sarkaz Mercenary Group.

"The next step is the key. We have now completed the first step for the infected—owning our own mobile city. What we need to do after that is very clear: spread our reputation, grow our strength, accommodate more infected, and at the same time find craftsmen and resources to maintain our city.

As I mentioned before, there are more than enough supplies left in Che City, but none of us can figure out the inner workings of the mobile city. We're lucky to be able to get it running now, but if anything goes wrong, we need people who can handle it."

"In other words, the leader is ready to continue, right? Who is the next target? I am willing to be the vanguard!" Upon hearing this, Mephistopheles, who had been shrinking behind Faust, immediately raised his hand to ask for the order.

Although Mephisto is often twisted by hatred, he still respects the guerrillas in his heart and wants to contribute to the infected.

Alina graciously pressed her hand, motioning for Mephistopheles to sit down while smiling at him, thus circumventing his earlier nonsense. "Tallulah and I have discussed this, and we've found a place that can satisfy all our needs. It's famous, rich, boasts advanced technology, and abundant resources, and it's not far from us. Of course, most importantly, there's a grudge against Tallulah there. Yes, we've already decided on our next target—Longmen!"

"I agree!" Before Alina could finish her words, a childish voice raised its hand in approval. Everyone turned and saw that the one who approved was Broken Bones, a newly appointed cadre. Recommended by the Regicide, this cadre, who had performed well during his time in Chernobog, was now twitching, as if he had some deep grudge against Lungmen.

"According to my father... no, Sergei, no, that traitor, my sister is supposedly imprisoned in an infected internment camp somewhere north of Che City. However, I've searched every northern block and found no trace of her. Except for a block that was forcibly separated before the disaster... My people found out that before it disappeared, that block was moving northeast, towards Lungmen."

"That's fine with me!" Broken Bones finished his words as Mephisto, who had just sat down, stood up again. "We all have to work hard to strengthen Reunion. Whether we attack the cities of Ursus or Yan Kingdom doesn't matter. But since the leader has a grudge against Longmen, I will definitely support attacking Longmen. Everyone, don't forget who avenged you in Chernobog. Now that you've gotten your revenge, it's Sister Tallulah's turn."

"I agree." After hearing Mephistopheles' words, the Regicide, who was originally hesitant, agreed to the proposal.

With Broken Bones' help, she had already completed her investigation. It seemed that Count Boris had been arrested for a serious crime before the fall of Che. Although she hadn't been able to personally execute the murderer of her father, the capture of his enemy had calmed her restless heart.

At least if Tallulah wanted revenge, she would have no objection.

Alina glanced around and found that most of the cadres agreed or had reservations, so she made a decision on the spot.

"In that case, let's begin our next journey. Our goal is—Longmen!!!"

Wine Pool and Meat Forest: 63 Who rewards whom?

That night, the restless city gradually returned to calm.

Word spread among officials that the lord had recruited a group of ferocious Sarkaz as bodyguards, and many tried to follow suit. The Sarkaz, once symbols of ill fortune and mineral sickness, had suddenly become symbols of power and equality, while the person in question lay unaware, sound asleep next to Victoria.

From childhood to adulthood, Niyan had never slept on such a soft bed. This girl, who often lived among the desolate land, was captivated by the down sheets and blankets in just one night. In this warm bed, the girl felt like she was back in her newborn days. Back then, her mother's embrace seemed just as warm as it is now. It's a pity that Niyan never saw her mother again after she could remember...

Just as the bodyguard was reveling in this rare warmth, next door, a nighttime activity typical of adults was underway. The soundproofed bedroom blocked out the faint gasps and the plotting of the two dark figures.

"The integration movement is developing in the planned direction. What are you going to do next?" Among all the girls Victory had seen, Kashena had the most delicate skin. There were beads of sweat on her swan-like white neck, which made Victor unable to help but speed up the pace while his index finger was twitching.

"Heh, how about a special scene?" Feeling the increasingly strong impact behind her, Kasheina held Victoria's cheek and hummed softly with her eyes closed: "For example - bumper cars? When the wreckage of a moving city is embedded in the core area of another city, what kind of explosion will it cause? I'm looking forward to it~~~"

"The most expensive fireworks in the world?" Victoria smiled slightly, and his body was carved into Kashena's body like a wooden stake, causing this beautiful woman with a heart as dark as the abyss to scream.

"If it were before, I might have agreed to your plan with anticipation, but it's different now."

Their breasts and fluids blended together, and their breathing gradually calmed down. Victory embraced the beauty under Kasheina's puzzled gaze, and used a different posture to carefully play with the perfect body of Hippogriff.

"When I was in Chernobog, I discovered that the power reactor in Chernobog's core isn't a standard Ursus reactor, but a special device unearthed from ruins. It's said to have many ingenious functions, and its energy output alone is enough to rival any mobile city. If such a thing could be researched and crafted into a weapon... I'm afraid even a 'God' would be impressed."

"Are you serious?" Kasheina shuddered, and she suddenly sat in Victoria's arms. In the current situation, conquering other countries requires more than just physical conquest; a weapon powerful enough to vex the military, or even the gods, is also essential.

Perhaps some beings are not afraid of this pure force, but possessing this power will definitely make those beings wary.

"If that's the case, how about cancelling the Fuse Project? Lungmen is important, but it's nothing compared to the ancient ruins that possess super-energy. I'll assimilate Tallulah and re-adjust the trajectory of Checheng..."

Snapped----

Just as Kashena was brainstorming, a loud slap hit her round breasts. The sudden intense stimulation disrupted Kashena's plan and caused her brain to go blank for a few seconds.

"Don't panic. Chernobog right now is no different from the city we rule. Until everything is over, we hold absolute control. There's no need to be timid because of a relic. Besides, our original plan and this unexpected surprise don't conflict. As long as we plan our next route, we might be able to achieve the best of both worlds."

The calm and collected words reawakened Kashena's thoughts, and the charming beauty possessed by the black snake touched her hot and round mountains, and a charming smile gradually appeared on her face.

"As expected, whether it's strategy or vision, there's an unbridgeable gap between me and a true genius. But it doesn't matter. Even a prodigy like you ultimately fell under my spell... What you just said was brilliant. Let me reward you handsomely."

As she spoke, Kashena flirted with Victoria and then lowered herself. At the same moment, strange bubbles suddenly appeared in the shadows beneath them. At Kashena's beckoning, the naked assassin appeared behind Victoria. The two of them, one in front and one behind, served this wise and handsome young man together.

The assassin lady clung tightly to Victoria's sturdy body and gently took the boy's earlobe into her mouth. "I believe in your wisdom. Just go for it. No matter what kind of support you need, I will help you get it."

"Really?" Victoria smiled slightly and held Kashena's head with both hands: "Then I want you today..."

"As you wish, my General~~~" The assassin lady breathed a sigh of relief and slid down like a snake.

A dark and decadent feast bloomed silently in the room.

All of this was seen by Mrs. Yevina who was passing by the door. As for who secretly opened the door, Miss Dorothy, who was hiding in her room and feeling unbearable in the heat, said she had no idea.

The next day, everyone returned to their office routine as if nothing had happened. Miss Mudstone sat at the door, energetic and dignified, acting as a doorman. Dorothy, expressionless, reviewed documents one after another. Madam Yevina took Natalia to inspect a nearby school, but Kashiena had to take a leave of absence to rest at home.

Considering that she had diligently completed her official duties while Victoria was away (Miss Assassin did it), Victoria waved his hand and allowed her absenteeism.

"Oh, Tao, arrange a caravan to sort out the inventory of supplies left by Andrei and take stock of those that can be converted into cash locally or taken back to Luxembourg. As for other assets that are inconvenient to transfer, we'll make plans later."

"I understand." Miss Dorothy nodded and handed over an application form. "By the way, this was given to me by Ms. Yevina. She told me at breakfast that she wants to invest her assets in Luxembourg. When Miss Leah grows up, she will convert them into cash for her to use."

"Oh? Investing it instead of putting it in the bank? Smart decision." Victoria took the document and casually stuffed it into the drawer. "I'll have a good talk with her when she comes back. Oh, and one more thing. If nothing unexpected happens, Rhodes Island may come soon. We need to be prepared to mobilize infected people from all over the place."

"receive."

Wine and Meat: 6+4 Misjudgment

"Madam, our Luxembourg First Middle School has a beautiful environment, a prime location, an excellent educational environment, and top-notch teachers. It will definitely be the right choice for your daughter to study here. I believe you can make the right choice."

"It seems quite good, but whether or not to enroll here depends on my daughter's own opinion. Teacher, don't be too anxious. How about giving us some time to think about it?"
