Terra Martial God and Merit System

There are too few people to manage it.

Hellagur sent out all the infected people he trusted, but he could only barely maintain order.

If the first victims had not been relatively well behaved, order might have collapsed long ago.

"Is that so..." Luo Chen pressed his temple, "If two thousand people each gain 2 merits per day..."

"If you just lie down and do nothing for a day, you will get 4,000 merits..."

"At this rate, it will take me 68 years to accumulate billion merits."

"Too slow! Too slow!"

"I have to keep saving people and keep targeting bad guys."

Thinking of this, Luo Chen looked up——

"General, I want to ask you for a promise."

"What?" Hellagur was a little surprised.

"Do you think those disaster victims deserved to die?" Luo Chen asked.

"They shouldn't die. They just want to survive. Unfortunately... they live in Ursus."

"No one on this land deserves to die." Luo Chen sat up, "I want to ask you a question, the content is very simple-"

"Have you ever thought about...making sure everyone on this earth can survive? Live happily?"

"I've thought about it." Hellagur nodded slightly, "But this is impossible, isn't it?"

"It's too pessimistic to say it's impossible without trying it, right?" Luo Chen stretched lazily, "I... am going to do it this way."

"....." Herag was silent.

If he met a stranger saying this, he would definitely think that the other person was a complete lunatic.

But Luo Chen said...

His behavior was not a joke. His words were not just a boast. He really intended to do it.

Because his actions - the thugs he killed and the people he saved told Hellagur that he meant business.

Madman, he is more like a madman.

but....

"People often die among the infected people I lead." Herag sighed slightly, "None of them deserve to die, and they shouldn't even be infected with mineral disease. We are just paying the price of survival."

"Sometimes you can't just live on, you have to go one step further." Luo Chen's words gradually became more passionate. "General, did you hear the laughter of those who succeeded in the conspiracy? Did you hear the cries of the children?"

"I will not allow this to continue to happen."

"I want to change this garbage world. Do you want to come?"

Herag looked at the boy in front of him, trying to see fear on his face, but he was disappointed.

"Do you know that you are against Ursus?" Herag asked.

"What we are doing now....collecting the victims will actually be accused of 'treason' by the Viscount. Oppressing the infected is the national policy of Ursus..."

"If anyone dares to stand in my way, I will kill him." Luo Chen stood up. "If the Viscount stands in my way, I will kill the Viscount. If the Earl stands in my way, I will kill the Earl. If the Emperor of Ursus stands in my way, I will chop off his head anyway."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"You are a lunatic." Herag looked at Luo Chen and said word by word, "You are simply..."

He didn't know how to describe the young man in front of him.

The other person seemed to have a kind of beauty without a brain. But his words made Herag inexplicably feel emotional.

"Ursus has decayed. There is no doubt about that..." Herag muttered to himself, "But Ursus' army is still... No one can compete with it..."

"Everything that stands in its way will be smashed to pieces..."

"Just a paper tiger." Luo Chen curled his lips, "I've killed almost a hundred of them, and I just can't see what's so great about them."

"It's all trash."

"You killed...what?!" Herag's eyes widened. "What did you say?"

"When Surter and I were coming from outside the city, we encountered a group of soldiers collecting tolls. I couldn't pay, so I had to kill them."

"I also cleaned up the surrounding sentry towers. To be honest, these people are a bunch of garbage."

"You!!!" Hellagur was stunned.

He knew the identities of these soldiers; they were affiliated with the Ursus Army Group.

They do not belong to any noble family, but are independent forces. However, in order to support this war machine, they will try to make money.

This 'toll' is just a way for them to make money.

Does anyone care? No one cares.

This is an unspoken rule. Anyway, they are only exploiting the lower-class civilians, so there is no harm at all.

Now Luo Chen killed them all?

No....not just this...

Herag remembered the words of the victims -

The slums were not completely affected, as part of the blizzard fell elsewhere.

Herag was curious at the time why the core city did not turn around.

Now it seems....

Could it be that this guy has mapped the sentry tower that monitors natural disasters?

Hellagur's heart chilled.

Isn't the other party's behavior...a clear example of a traitor?

For what he did, he should have been hanged countless times according to Ursus law.

What about yourself?

Hellagur asked himself.

The me who helped organize the disaster victims, the me who chatted with Luo Chen...what was that?

"General, you have made your choice." Luo Chen suddenly smiled, "Now you just need to find a reasonable explanation for your choice."

"Now there's an explanation."

"....You are right." Hellagur sighed.

Would he not know the consequences of collecting disaster victims? But he still did it. The conversation with Luo Chen now was just to find a reasonable explanation.

Now the explanation is there - Hellagur has already boarded the pirate ship and can't get off.

Herag thought...if this young man had not appeared, he might have already escaped from the city with Nayin and other infected people.

But now everything has changed.

He too....has made his choice.

Chapter 17 Puzzled

"Welcome aboard." Luo Chen smiled and extended his hand.

Herag shook his hand and then frowned slightly, "I just want those who deserve to survive to survive."

"What a coincidence, our goals are exactly the same."

Luo Chen got off the bed and said, "Let's go see the victims."

The three of them left the room and came to the underground hall.

There are already quite a few people here at this moment.

Helag brought some of the seriously injured here and arranged for the surviving doctors in the clinic to treat them.

In addition to these people, there are some people who are counting the total amount of food.

When they saw Luo Chen coming out, they all stopped what they were doing silently.

Although he didn't say anything, the admiration and respect in his eyes said it all.

Luo Chen felt a little uncomfortable. It was the first time he enjoyed such attention.

"Say something." Herag whispered, "These people have paid a lot. It's not just my credit. They need your recognition."

"My approval..."

Luo Chen scanned their faces. Among them were the infected people he had rescued and the doctors he brought out from the clinic.

This scene is indeed worth talking about....but....

Luo Chen is a straight man, and polite words are like torture to him.

"Oh, and smooth talk!"

Luo Chen's heart moved, and he immediately activated this life-saving skill.

Herag was surprised to see that the somewhat restless boy beside him seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

A kind smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with gentle light. He looked like a veteran who had been immersed in the Ursus officialdom for decades.

"Everyone, please stop what you are doing. I'd like to say a few words..."

Luo Chen jumped easily and stood on a shelf.

He spoke passionately.

The "smooth talk" was indeed powerful. This short speech was so effective that many people cried while listening to it.

Seeing that it was almost time, Luo Chen said "dismiss" and jumped down.

Hellagur stared at the scene in amazement.

He was a soldier and hated 'politics', which was why he was able to survive the 'Great Purge'.

For Hellagur, these social conventions are a real headache.

Therefore, Luo Chen’s actions made him feel even more deeply shocked.

Even every sentence and every word was profound when considered. It was as if a team of "official writers" had written the speech for Luo Chen.

Helag had to admit that even those old men who had been immersed in the tainted political arena of Ursus for a long time might not be able to deliver a speech like this on the spot so quickly.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go." It was not until Luo Chen urged him that Herag woke up from his dream.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Chen had completely changed.

This boy....no, man. Really mysterious.

Whether it was his 'resurrection' after his sudden death, his crazy act of saving people, or his wanton provocation of Ursus...

Even today's impromptu speeches make people feel full of mystery.

Who is he? Is the name Luo Chen related to any major country?

Yanguo?

Is he a member of the royal family?

But why is he here? Isn't he afraid of causing a war?

Hellagur's mind was in a mess.

No, there is another possibility.

Hellagur suddenly realized.

If...If...

If he did everything on impulse without considering the consequences, then everything would be explainable.

So....is this true?

Hellagur thought.

He couldn't help but think about this. Because if Luo Chen really did something without a plan, then he could really consider running away with Nayin.
