A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Naturally, there cannot be only one pre-prepared transfer location. The snow monsters will prepare several locations in advance for selection every time, and this time is no exception.

"..."

Tallulah stared at the three locations for a while, then slowly shook her head.

"Go to the vicinity of the mine. I remember that there is an Originium mine that has been mined for a long time. I will notify you and send some people to transport supplies. I will select people who are good at fighting to go ahead. This time, we are going to seize this mine." Mine.”

"Attack the mine? Are you sure?"

Yelena couldn't make any expression, but it could be heard from her tone that she was not optimistic about this choice.

The defensive strength of an Originium mine is nothing, and the current integration movement can easily capture it.

But doing so will also expose their position. Once the integration movement appears in the sight of the Ursus Army, what awaits them next will be an encirclement and suppression by the army.

"Usas has a very single method of controlling these source stone mines. On the ice sheet, the communication between the mines and the higher levels is entirely through regular transportation of source stones. This is our opportunity."

"We can no longer change locations so frequently. Without a stable environment, many things cannot be done. Our team's strength will increase very slowly, and it will be impossible to compete with the regular army in a short period of time."

"By capturing this mine, we can absorb the infected people in it to strengthen our team, and at the same time, we can directly occupy it. As long as we disguise ourselves to cope with inspections and maintain the delivery of source stones on a fixed date, in the eyes of the nobles in charge here, the mine will still be good. There, nothing changed.”

"Usas's group army will not search a mine that has been searched and has not changed. This approach may seem dangerous, but in fact, it is much safer than our frequent transfers."

"If this attempt is successful, we can use the same method to occupy more mines, grow our team, and slowly accumulate strength."

It was certainly a risky endeavor, but Tallulah felt the chances of success were high.

A large part of the infected people in the integration movement came from the Originium Mine, and Tallulah got a lot of useful information from them. After the integration, she already had a sufficient understanding of the management methods of the mine.

The ice sheet is cold, with constant wind and snow all year round. In this vast frozen land, the only valuable thing is the source stone mine formed by natural disasters.

The source stone reserves in these minerals are often mined out within a few months to a few years, and do not meet the conditions for long-term mining. Therefore, Ursus officials will not pay attention to such temporary mining facilities. What a detailed arrangement.

All they need is a source stone mine. They can simply build a fence, send some soldiers to station, and then put infected people and refugees into it, and a mine will be completed.

Under such circumstances, naturally no one will waste time and effort to establish expensive communication links for these simple mines. How can such expensive investment be needed for something that will be abandoned in a short time?

It is enough to dispatch regular inspections for supervision. In addition, the source stones delivered from the mine can be received on time. The upper-level nobles and officials will basically not want to know more detailed information, let alone waste their efforts on any personnel. replace.

Therefore, as long as the mine is occupied quickly enough and sealed tightly to ensure that no one escapes or passes on the news, the integrated movement after occupation will be able to gain a base that does not have to worry about being searched by the group army at all times.

Even if there is an inspection or military search, there are traces to follow. When the time comes, they can get the news in advance and disguise themselves - the members of the integration movement themselves are infected, and the shield guards were once regular soldiers of Ursus, a pretender. The miner, a caretaker, no one could see anything wrong with him.

As for materials and equipment that should not appear in the mine, some can be hidden in the mine.

"Then do as you say."

Yelena stared at the map and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

They had attacked many mines before. Even she herself was rescued from the mines by Bozhuo Kasi, so she naturally knew the situation there.

I had never thought about this before. After all, in normal people's thinking, of course, after an attack, one must retreat as soon as possible. How can there be any argument for staying at the scene?

Moreover, before joining the integration movement, the purpose of the guerrillas was to liberate and rescue the infected in the mines, and they would never stay in one place for a long time.

It was different now. The Integration Movement was in urgent need of a stable location. She thought about what Tallulah said and found that the mine was indeed a good choice. It seemed like a dangerous place, but it was actually safer than most places. .

"I will take the snow monster at the front to explore the road. After confirming the situation inside the mine, you can arrange for people to surround it."

With that said, White Rabbit turned around and was about to leave the tent.

She has never been one to procrastinate. Now that she has decided on the next action, she will take action as soon as possible.

"Wait, Yelena, I have something else to tell you."

Tallula straightened up, with a flash of hesitation in her eyes, and stopped the white rabbit who was about to leave.

During the New Year period, she left the ice field and returned to Longmen. She spent a reunion year in Longmen, and her identity also underwent subtle changes.

In the past, she was a pawn and investigation subject in the Golden Tree Project, and she managed to survive on the ice sheet with the infected.

Now, she is the disciple of the leader of the Golden Tree. She has the qualifications and choice to leave the chessboard. The reason why she is still here is entirely because she has chosen this path. She wants to save more infected people and be herself. Do whatever you can to help thousands of infected people in Ursus escape from slavery, discrimination and oppression.

The ideals of the past have not changed, but with the support of the Golden Tree and Dragon Gate, there is no need to act as before.

Attacking Chernobog is no longer a goal that must be achieved as soon as possible.

So she was going to tell Yelena something.

Even if she jumped out of the chessboard, she didn't want to treat her former friends as random chess pieces and let them continue to suffer the inner torture without knowing anything about them.

"what's up?"

Hearing this, Yelena stopped and asked doubtfully.

"It's about Mr. Patriot. I learned some news."

"...You met him, right? In the few days you left."

Yelena turned around, surprisingly calm, and revealed Tallulah's departure from the ice field.

"I……"

Tallulah opened her mouth, originally wanting to say how do you know?But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

Yes, why did she think that no one knew about her departure?

The way Shining held her up created the illusion that she had never left. Ordinary members of the Integration Movement might not be able to see the flaw. How could people who are really close to her not be able to see it?

What is fake is fake. No matter how perfect the disguise is, it is not the real her after all. For Yelena and Alina who live together day and night and even often sleep in the same tent, it is easy to see through it. They are not Idiot, how could you not even be able to tell the difference between close friends around you?

She thought no one knew about her departure, but in fact it was just that they failed to expose the lie.

"You are so understanding. Everything is written on your face. Don't worry, no one except me and Alina knows that you have left the Integration Movement. You don't need to explain. I have no intention of exploring your secrets."

Yelena sighed, her eyes seemed to be looking at a fool without self-awareness.

"You're not so stupid that you really think we didn't notice it, are you? In fact, if you come back any later, we will be ready to take action."

"……My fault."

After realizing that she had done something stupid, Tallulah felt a little embarrassed for a moment and quickly changed the subject.

"I did see Mr. Patriot. He is very good. He has regained a healthy body without being infected with ore disease. However, for some reason, he cannot come back to see you now."

"Did you go to Chernobog?"

After learning that Bozhuokasti was still alive and free from the influence of ore disease, Yelena's eyes trembled and she couldn't help but clenched her fists, barely able to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

"No, it's not Chernobog. We don't need to attack Chernobog anymore."

Tallulah raised her palm, and a golden glow lit up from her palm, bright but not dazzling.

"I went to the Golden Tree, met the man who rescued us from the inner guards, and became his disciple. Mr. Patriot was also there."

"The attack on Chernobog is just his test for us. There is no need to complete it anymore."

"If you want to see Mr. Patriot, I...I can take you to the Golden Tree to have a look."

"The supplies we received are also for this reason, right?"

Yelena's stiff face showed no expression, and she still looked very calm, but in fact, if you look carefully, you can find the clenched fists in her sleeves that were shaking slightly with excitement.

She finally understood why the integration movement suddenly received a large amount of high-quality materials, the quantity and quality of which were far higher than before.

Of course, none of this is actually important. To her, the most important thing is that Bodrokasti is still alive and they can really meet again. Even if she wants to, Tallulah can take her there now. There is nothing more joyful than the golden tree.

"Yes, the golden tree will provide us with support and help us survive on the ice sheet. The large-scale operations of the Ursus army are related to the golden tree. Our role is to act as bait during this period. What is it specifically... ...Sorry, I don’t know, the teacher didn’t tell me.”

Tallulah nodded, looked at Elena cautiously, and spoke softly.

"So, do you want to meet Mr. Patriot?"

"Being not."

Unexpectedly, Yelena refused.

Under the astonished gaze of the young girl Drak, White Rabbit shook his head slightly and refused the proposal to go to the Golden Tree to see Bodro Kasti, explaining: "The Golden Tree brought the old man back to life, so I will stay here and do What I should do until the end of the plan you mentioned."

At that time, when fighting against the inner guards on the ice sheet, the situation of Bozhuo Kasti could be seen for all to see. The proliferating Source Stone crystals crystallized the flesh and blood body and turned it into an immovable stone. It was already a complete outbreak of ore disease. Medicine can help.

Yelena knew that without the help of the golden tree, her father would have died by then, just like other infected people in the late stages of ore disease.

Since the golden tree brought the old man back to life, no matter how this miracle was achieved, she would always be grateful for the golden tree's kindness and keep it in her heart, even if she had to use her life to repay it.

The golden tree needs a bait, so she will be the bait. Not only her, but all the shield guards and snow monsters will make the same choice.

Tallulah said that the attack on Chernobog was a test for the Golden Tree. In other words, the Golden Tree had expectations of her, so no matter what the Golden Tree asked of her, she would do her best to achieve it. .

Chapter 223 White Rabbit’s Actions

It is difficult to see what can be called good weather on the Ursus ice sheet. The sky here seems to be filled with deep rain clouds all year round, and snow falls from time to time. The cold earth is lingering with the biting cold all year round. wind.

creak ~ creak ~

The white snow boots stepped into the snow, leaving footprints one after another, but soon the holes were filled with snowflakes blown by the wind, leaving only shallow dents.

Tightening her cloak, Yelena raised her head in the wind and snow, exhaled softly, leaving a string of white mist in the air.

She had walked through wind and snow like this countless times in the past, and she was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar with it. However, there was something different this time - she actually felt the wind blowing on her body had an icy chill, which was very different to her in the past. To me, it's simply incredible.

Her Origin Stone skill at controlling ice was on the verge of losing control many years ago due to ore disease.

Severe ori disease prevented her from completely shutting down her spells, resulting in the loss of many body functions.

She couldn't make expressions, couldn't feel the cold, and even her sense of taste had deteriorated a lot. Even slightly hot drinks would burn her internal organs.

The spell that does not dissipate causes her body to emit cold air all the time. Feeling warmth and loneliness, these things that are ordinary to ordinary people, are things that are beyond her reach. She can only rely on special candies. , to get a little closer.

As the mineral sickness worsened, the loss of body functions became more and more obvious. To this day, she has almost forgotten what warmth and cold feel like.

Even if she stood in the ice and snow wearing very thin clothes compared to other infected people in the Integration Movement, she would not feel uncomfortable, let alone feel cold.

But now, she really feels it.

The cold air hits the body, and the slightest coolness penetrates into the clothes along the gaps. It is extremely real and does not require any external force.

All this is thanks to the golden leaves Tallulah brought back.

The leaves from the golden tree made the blessing of the golden tree in her body grow several times, and she already had the ability to suppress the ore disease.

The body that was originally riddled with holes due to ore disease and frequent use of spells, under the influence of the rich vitality, only took a long time to return to health, and would no longer be comatose and paralyzed due to excessive use of Origin Stone skills.

The severely worsened ore disease has also declined a lot under the suppression of blessing power, and is still getting better. Although it cannot be cured in a short time, it is much stronger than before.

Now, she can try to eat some foods that she didn't dare to touch before, and she has regained all the physical sensations of being a human being. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has regained a new lease of life.

It can be said that the appearance of the golden tree completely changed her destiny. Not only did her dead father resurrect with the help of the power of the golden tree, but she herself also received a great favor.

"The golden tree, I really want to see it."

The mist drifted from the corner of the mouth and disappeared into the wind. The white rabbit mumbled softly in his mouth, shook the ears on the top of his head twice, and continued to move forward.

In front, a wall made of stacked wood and stones already appeared in sight. Over there was the wall of the mine.

It is hard to say that such a simple wall has any protective effect, but combined with the Ursus army stationed inside, it is enough to restrain the infected people inside the mine. This wall also clearly shows that Ursus officials And the attitude of the nobles towards the ice field mines - indifference.

Infected people are consumables used to collect Source Stones, and they are garbage that is recycled. They never care about how many people will die in the mines, nor how much blood is stained by the crude and unrefined Source Stones. .

Using local materials, pulling up a fence, and sending a few soldiers, you can build an Originium mine on the vast ice field. It only takes a few days to complete.

Infected people who were deported and arrested from the city and refugees wandering outside the city were put here, like cattle and sheep being kept in captivity. The soldiers stationed here were the shepherds responsible for grazing.

In fact, the number of infected people inside the mines far exceeds the number of soldiers stationed here, because these crude and primitive mines basically rely on manpower to operate, and there is no modern machinery in sight.

Under such circumstances, if you want to ensure that enough source minerals can be collected within one transportation cycle, a large number of manpower will be needed to pile them.

Over time, the number of infected people will even reach a hundred times that of the garrison.

With such a huge personnel base, if the infected can unite, they can easily kill the troops stationed here. Even the soldiers of Ursus armed with heavy firepower are of little use. The disparity in numbers is too huge. They cannot compete with troops a hundred times larger. One's own enemies contend, even if those people are unarmed.

However, this kind of thing can only be thought about.

The oppressed infected are afraid of the power of the army. Years of harsh punishment have taken away their courage and made them numb. They dare not think about how to resist. Even if some people see this, they cannot eliminate the infected. It is impossible to win over enough supporters based on their fears.

Therefore, Ursus can control a huge mine with very few soldiers, which is ridiculous and ridiculous.

woohoo~

The howling cold wind passed through the gaps in the fence, making a sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Walking through the thick snow, Yelena got closer and closer, and finally stood under the fence. Black-gray ice crystals condensed from under her feet, forming a step that could be climbed up the wall. Then she stepped on the steps and jumped into the mine lightly. The black and gray ice crystals Gu Yezhi stepped on behind him disintegrated and disappeared.

Exploration missions like this are usually completed by the Yeti team. They have deep experience in this and are experts in this field.

But this time, Yelena didn't do that. She asked the snow monsters to follow the large army waiting for news at the rear, and she carried out the exploration mission alone.
