People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

They were originally supposed to bring some members of the Yeti Squad, but unfortunately, the Ursus-accented Victorian language of several members was too conspicuous, and they failed the test conducted jointly by Vina and Ascalon.

Yelena learns quickly, and although her accent is still a bit strange, it's not too noticeable.

Just %→糤？ Transit QUN: Talulah was taught by Kosiché to attend various aristocratic banquets from a young age, and speaks fluent Victorian with a genuine Old London accent.

Bozokasti, his accent was so-so, but he usually didn't talk.

Moreover, he is a Sarkaz.

There are far too many Sarkaz in the city of Londinium. No Londinium resident cares whether a Sarkaz speaks fluent Victorian or not; they would much rather all Sarkaz be unable to speak.

After leading a few people to infiltrate Londinium, Ascalon left. She claimed she had another mission, but promised to appear immediately if Talulah encountered any danger.

Talulah didn't know how much weight Rhodes Island's promise carried. But she knew that Rhodes Island was also one of the players in Lentinium's game, and that doctor named Kal'tsit was no ordinary person; Bozokastie said she was much older than she looked.

“She was like this when I was a child. All these years, she hasn’t changed at all.”

This is an immortal being.

Talulah hated the immortals, but she also knew that most of them had some skills. Just like that old black snake, although Talulah looked down on him in every way, she had to admit that, after all her scheming, if it weren't for Ernst's intervention, she would definitely have fallen into that old reptile's trap in the end.

It is a valuable quality for a person to know their own limitations, and Alina's suffering and the days she spent at the bottom of the guerrilla ranks had profoundly taught her this.

Therefore, Rhodes Island can leverage this advantage!

Before embarking on an operation, it is natural to formulate a strategy. Talulah had not forgotten this either.

On Rhodes Island, she listened to Ascalon and other Rhodes Island intelligence personnel give a detailed account of the general situation in Londinium City. She also learned about several major enemies, such as the Kazdel Military Council, Theresis, the Blood Lord, and the Carrion King, from Ernst and Kal'tsit.

To be honest, the opponent is terrifyingly strong.

Theresis was alright; Kal'tsit's description of him was very serious, saying that he was "unparalleled in swordsmanship" and "could take the head of an enemy general from among ten thousand troops," exaggerating his abilities as if she had personally experienced them. But in the end, she only mentioned Theresis's martial arts skills.

1. This chairman of the military council and regent of the Sarkaz, the number one terrorist in Terra, does not seem to have any strange "Originium Arts" or "Sarkaz witchcraft". He is a pure example of "physical sanctification and profound swordsmanship".

This kind of person is strong, but Talulah is aware of his strength.

But the other two, Blood Lord Ducarre and Carrion King Nezire, just by mentioning their abilities, made Talulah feel like, "Do these two live on the same land as me?"

Where did the Trisolarans come from? They make me, someone who can only breathe fire, look like a caveman!

This combat strength comparison isn't right, is it?

Knowing this, Ernst gave Talulah two protective items.

One snowball was a gift from the Deer Lord, called "Ama's Love," while the other small cube was a gift from the Lich, called "Escape Artifact."

4. The Jeragand Stone is not suitable to appear in the city of Londinium, as it would easily lead to gossip.

3. Ernst's strategy for Talulah was simple: fight if you can, run if you can't. Prioritize building reputation; maintain contact and cooperation with the city's self-defense forces and Kal'tsit's informants. If necessary, withdraw from Londinium!

Theresis, Ducarre, and Niezire do look terrifying, but Theresis is the commander and it's unlikely that he would run around the city trying to capture Talulah. Niezire is responsible for commanding the Royal Court Army and the Carrion Eater Army, and he spends most of his time on the front lines, which are handled by the Victorian Allied Forces. The only one who could truly pose a direct threat to Talulah is Ducarre.

Ducarre was notoriously arrogant, and according to Kal'tsit's description, Ernst felt that this Blood Lord's personality was somewhat similar to Gilgamesh's.

Z is a typical anime/manga character who "respects those I respect and verbally abuses those I despise." He has a theoretical "serious lord" persona, but it is almost impossible for him to appear under normal conditions.

Moreover, its upper limit is definitely not as high as that of a concept god like "serious shapeshifter".

U is a bit embarrassing, Ducarre.

Talulah's side isn't weak either. After Bozokasti's Oripathy is under control, he can unleash his peak combat power for a short time. Pure-blooded Wendigos are notorious "war beasts" in the Sarkaz; the legend of three Wendigos destroying a small town still circulates in Ursus. If he gets serious, he might not be able to fight the Blood Lord to a draw, but he can certainly stall for a while.

Talulah's naivety often makes people overlook her combat strength, but as the dragon skewer Drak, who is suspected to be the "strongest skewer on earth," her flames also deserve to be called a "catastrophe."

Q Not to mention there's also Yelena, who can act out the contrasting emotions of ice and fire with her.

In this way, regardless of their trump cards and methods, at least on paper, Ducarre and Talulah are evenly matched.

N. Talulah also strictly followed the guidelines given by Ernst and others, and exerted some "subjective initiative"!

As soon as she entered, she used Vina's recollection of the "Lentinium underground pipeline route" to find the Self-Salvation Army, and by following the clues, she found the hidden figure of the Self-Salvation Army, Alleide Cumberland.

No, it should be said that Allardy Cumberland found her.

"Draco, I really didn't expect that."

Aleide seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Her mood today was more conflicted than during the entire year she had spent in Londinium. The reason was simple: a Draco had somehow wandered into the city!

Moreover, this was a Draco that I had never seen before!

Allardy was Kester's informant. In order to obtain the "Breath of the Kings," Kester maintained contact with Allardy, and she was aware of what was happening in the outside world.

Abrahana, Tara's red dragon, stepped onto the stage, which was more than the dukes expected. She could already imagine Kester's gloomy face.

And now look what happened, yet another one!

Moreover, this one is different from Abrahina.

"What's your last name?"

“Atrias.” Talulah shrugged, quite nonchalantly. “Talulah Atrias, the name my father gave me.”

"Who is your father?"

"Edward Atrias".

"Ho-"

She couldn't help but gasp, and Aleide felt a chill run down her spine.

"The Lion King's best friend," "the heir to the eternally noble Cumberland," Aldebaran never forgot what the name Atrias represented.

Although the noble title of "Duke" has lost its value now without soldiers or power, in the past it was a prestigious title earned by a person who fought alongside Emperor Taizu and shed blood to conquer the world.

Who were you attacked at the time?

This is the "Athelias"!

To be precise, it was her ancestors!

Now, a red dragon from Atria—that Alistair lied, didn't he say this red dragon line was extinct!—suddenly approached her and solemnly told her, "We've come to seek cooperation."

How should she respond?

My God, even a lion would be better! If I vote for that, wouldn't I become a three-time loyalist—first loyal to the Lion King, then to Castle, and finally to the Red Dragon?

Nobles value their reputation. Although I, Cumberland, am now down on my luck, I, Aldebaran, still have a little bit of a sentimental attachment to the past. When I was little, I used to hug a steam knight's armor and say I wanted to be a steam knight when I grew up!

Alde didn't want to agree, but she had reasons to do so.

She looked at the smiling Talulah, a bead of sweat sliding down her temple despite the cold weather.

First of all, the other party has a very strong idea.

That Sarkaz named Borocaster appears to be a supporter of Talulah. He is incredibly strong; no one in the Self-Defense Forces can match him!

Moreover, as a historically renowned "military aristocracy," the Alde family also had a long and distinguished academic tradition.

She knew a little about the legend of Wendigo in Ursus.

She knows the story of Patriot leading the heavily armored Wendigo Legion to defeat the Steam Knights.

This is a figure straight out of historical legend. Even if you wanted to provoke her, you couldn't afford to!

Secondly, the other party also has a powerful background.

The Duke of Castells had never mentioned in his communications that a Drak from Atrias was coming to Lentinium, and Allard believed that the Grey Hat would not make such a basic mistake.

They probably genuinely didn't know.

But now, the Dukes' allied forces have Londinium completely surrounded. The "little duke" named Eleanor even claimed that if a mosquito flew across the blockade, she would immediately change her name to Emilia. Although oaths don't count among nobles, the fact that she made such a solemn vow shows that Eleanor has probably really put in the effort.

But Talulah and her group still came in.

What does this mean? It means there's another powerful force, capable of bypassing Ellie Seven and even Six Kester Nine, to send someone in! (4"36)

This is no ordinary person! Throughout this land, there are many who wield power greater than the Duke of Caesar, but few can rival the Grey Hat in Victoria's territory!

Wellington is one, but Wellington already has a Drak of Tara, so there's no reason for him to help another Drak of Atrias.

Who else but him?

Windermere? Godottin? Or the ever-unassuming Normandy?

Or perhaps there are other experts?

It's hard to say!

Moreover, and thirdly, the fact that the other party dared to come directly to her shows that she didn't care whether Kester knew of her existence!

This makes it even more intriguing. There are some crucial points that Alede doesn't even dare to delve into.

That's why she asked that blunt and presumptuous question at the beginning:

"And who sent you to turn the Self-Salvation Army into your weapon?"

Talulah replied, "Cooperation. This is cooperation."

They clearly didn't intend to reveal who was behind them.

Or rather, she, Aldean Cumberland, was not qualified to know.

Since that's the case, she clearly has no room to refuse. Already trapped in a predicament, she was somewhat disheartened, so seeing some changes in the game was a pleasant surprise.

After pondering for a long time, Alde looked at Talulah, who seemed very patient and even had time to examine the furnishings in her ducal mansion.

Talulah was genuinely curious, after all, the Duke of Victoria and the Duke of Ursus had very different aesthetic tastes. The former was more refined, while the latter, in the Duke of Koschche's mansion, everything was very simple.

However, after watching for a while, she lost interest.

I feel it's not as good as Shelag, or even as good as Iberia.

Displaying so many things is pointless except for collecting dust. It reminds me of the Self-Salvation Army's chaotic and disorganized life... (qUn: living environment; looking at the Duke of Cumberland's mansion, indeed, nobles are nobles after all.)

Talulah prefers a simpler style.

Ernst's is pretty good.

As for giving her name or something, she didn't think that much about it.

She has indeed matured a lot. At the very least, she no longer sees her surname as a sin, as she used to. Openly acknowledging her special identity and making people value her given name more than her surname is much more dignified than hiding it.

As for whether it will cause Aylde to misunderstand...

Hmph, isn't it better that it's a misunderstanding?

She didn't learn it for nothing; she also learned a lot from Ernst's trick of using someone else's name to gain influence in the Iberian Peninsula—or, in Ernst's words, leveraging their power.

Ernst's position as Secretary-General of the World Summit was enough to allow him and Carmen to reach a deal. Carmen's agreement to Ernst establishing an anti-terrorism base in Iberia likely stemmed from the understanding that this was "the will of the World Summit Security Council," a reason he couldn't resist.

Make good use of your identity and don't reject it. Identity is not only a responsibility, but also a right.

Everyone says she's naive, but in a way, doesn't that naivety mean she has a lot of potential for growth?

She learns very quickly!

"Ms. Tallulah."

Alleide finally spoke, and Talulah turned to look at her:

"Have you considered it?"

“The Self-Rescue Army can help you,” Allardy said unconsciously, using a respectful title. “But you should at least tell us what you plan to do first.”

"What?"

Talulah smiled and exchanged a glance with Bozokasti.

Do what they do best.

"fight as a guerrilla!"

The underground pipes of Londinium number imaginary, numbering 108,000, and are so interconnected that no one can tell which road leads to which place!

This city is so vast that even if the Blood Demon Lord were to drain his last drop of blood, he could not possibly pave the entire land, let alone create the intricate network of underground pipes!

This environment is perfectly suited to a combat tactic that has never appeared before due to the unique environment of Terra.

—Tunnel warfare!

This time, with the help of the small cubes, they had ample supplies!

Chapter 822 Now do you know how Talulah became the leader of Unity?

Lentinium has been at peace for a long time.
