Terra Martial God and Merit System

"A duke actually contacted me and was willing to be a spy and help me rule Victoria again. The price is that his territory and army must not be taken away in the future."

"These guys... are so brave." Tallulah narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

The death of the previous monarch Victoria is closely related to these grand dukes.

Now someone is pretending to help her ascend the throne? Tallulah can't believe it.

Furthermore, although the Terra Union has now stabilized, the next in-depth reform may take several years.

Tallulah doesn't have the time to be the king of Victoria.

It's just that... as she said, the political struggle in Victoria is getting more and more intense. I have to find a way, whether it's intervening or issuing an announcement, I have to show my attitude.

Especially the attitude of Tallulah...the one who could inherit Victoria's throne.

"I have a solution." Luo Chen said after thinking for a moment.

Chapter 378 Deterrence

"You want to kill them all?" Tallulah immediately shook her head. "No, absolutely not."

The reason why Tallulah cares so much about Victoria is because the struggle among the dukes has escalated and even endangered the lower classes.

Although Victoria originally had no ruler, the eight dukes stayed relatively obediently in their own territories and order existed.

Now, with the emergence of Tallulah, the political struggle has intensified.

Tallulah originally thought that these struggles were limited to the upper class, but she didn't expect that as the situation escalated, even many lower-class people were involved.

She didn't want so many innocent people to die, so she thought about how to solve all this.

Tallulah knew that she couldn't express her opinion easily.

If she revealed that she wanted to take over Victoria, the duke who was willing to be the insider would definitely jump up and madly provoke the other dukes. This was both to express loyalty and to get Terra United to intervene.

Such a situation could easily erupt into a chaotic war.

This is completely contrary to Tallulah's original intention.

It would be the same if Luo Chen went and killed them.

There was a senior executive who was there to maintain order, but now that he's dead, everything will become a mess. And the Terra Union doesn't have enough power to enter Victoria to maintain order.

This is a seemingly unsolvable problem.

And Luo Chen just shook his head gently, "You think this matter is too difficult."

"As long as we let these guys know that they will die if they disobey us, they will be quiet and stay still."

"That's easy to say." Tallulah said, "They are all hiding in their own castle. How can we threaten them?"

"Victoria's military strength is also among the best in this land. Even if our army attacks, we may not be able to capture their duchy in a short time."

"Moreover, each of these dukes has his own special private soldiers... Even if they are not as strong as Ursus's internal guards, they are still difficult to deal with."

"It's hard to make them stop by threatening them!"

"That's because your threat method is wrong..." Luo Chen smiled slightly, "Call the Integration Movement."

"Okay..." Seeing Luo Chen being so mysterious, Tallulah knew in her heart that he must have a way to solve the problem.

So she went back to her desk, sat down, and pressed the button under the desk.

"beep--"

In just ten seconds, a dozen black figures appeared in the room.

Each of them knew Luo Chen, after all, it was Luo Chen who gave them the special ability of "resurrection from the dead". Now seeing Luo Chen, although they were excited, they still did not speak due to professional ethics.

"Both are good." Luo Chen commented. He came to a member of the Integration Movement and said, "Give me your knife."

The other party untied the long knife at his waist and handed it to Luo Chen.

"The strength is good." Luo Chen touched it.

Although it is not as good as his own Liuyun, it is of similar quality to the Ursus inner guards. It can be said to be very sturdy.

This material...can satisfy Luo Chen's guess.

Luo Chen sheathed the sword and raised it with one hand.

"Buzz——" Everyone felt a strange aura surrounding the long sword in Luo Chen's hand.

Especially some people with keen senses felt as if their hair stood on end.

Luo Chen put part of his mental power and a little bit of the energy of the evil demon seed into it.

According to his calculations, as long as the knife is pulled out, all the power inside will burst out instantly.

Uh.....the power is not very strong, at most it can blow up a wall. But the intimidation effect is probably first-rate.

After all... there are things in there that would scare the shit out of even a tens-thousand-year-old grandmother.

Even in the aftermath, heart disease patients may suffer a relapse and die suddenly.

"Okay." After Luo Chen finished the indoctrination, he handed the long sword to the other party.

"You don't need to draw it now. You can draw it when you face Duke Victoria, and you must draw it towards the sky."

"And...give me your sword."

Luo Chen found eight members of the Integration Movement one by one, and then "enchanted" their weapons.

Finally, Tallulah understood Luo Chen's thoughts.

"You want to use this to intimidate them?"

"That's right." Luo Chen nodded, "Now it's just a matter of a second for me to kill them, but I don't want the consequences to happen."

The current main body of the Terra Union is Ursus, and the only foothold in Victoria is the identity of Tallulah.

If the grand dukes were killed, Victoria would be in chaos, and sending troops to maintain order or doing anything else would likely exacerbate the chaos.

Luo Chen planned to proceed step by step and let these dukes be quiet for a while.

During this period of time, the Terra Union can promote its ideas in Victoria. Once a mature local Victorian team is formed, that will be the time for the dukes to die.

"But...you prepared it for everyone?" Tallulah counted Luo Chen's enchantments.

"Those fence-sitters should be threatened." Luo Chen sneered, "People who run away as soon as they see the situation is not right deserve to die."

Talula understood, and she asked the Integration Movement to act according to Luo Chen's plan.

It is expected that these weapons will be delivered to the Grand Dukes in a few days.

The meaning of pulling out the 'enchanted' weapon was very clear - 'If they do not obey the will of the Terran Union, they will die.'

Tallulah could sense what kind of terrible things Luo Chen had instilled into her, so she was sure that this idea would penetrate into the minds of all the dukes.

Tallulah dismissed the integration movement and looked at Luo Chen again, "As expected of you, you have directly solved this problem that has been giving me a headache."

"It's nothing..." Luo Chen sat on the sofa.

Although this infusion did not consume too much mental energy, it still had to maintain a strong but not too strong level, so Luo Chen still felt tired.

Tallulah noticed Luo Chen's fatigue. She walked behind the sofa and held Luo Chen's head with her hands, "Let me rub it for you."

"Thank you..." Luo Chen closed his eyes and changed the subject when he spoke - "Has the anti-origin stone generator in the City Lord's Mansion been put into use?"

"That's just a prototype." Tallulah said while rubbing Luo Chen's temple, "The current range is still very small, and it can only barely cover the entire City Lord's Mansion."

"In the future, we are planning to build a large-scale anti-originite generator that can cover an entire city."

"This one from the City Lord's Mansion actually focuses more on suppressing the offensive Originium Skills than suppressing Ore Disease."

"If this thing can be mass-produced in the future...it will be of great benefit to our plan."

"I didn't expect Kal'tsit to move so quickly." Luo Chen said with emotion, "I didn't collect much data in Sammy."

Originally, he took on this task just because he was so excited about killing evil demons that he almost forgot about the anti-originite generator.

"Actually, this thing doesn't have much effect on Kal'tsit..."

"Oh? Who is that?"

Chapter 379 Reunion

"Who is it?" Luo Chen became interested.

Kal'tsit is an old hand at oripathy, and he also wants to ask her about issues related to Originium.

Now Talulah said that the prototype of the anti-Originium generator is not just the result of Kal'tsit's work?

Who else could it be?

"This is a scientist from Columbia." Tallulah paused, "She brought a lot of powerful scientists with her, and there is evidence that she knows you..."

"So I gave her priority access to this core research. And it turns out...she did very well."

"Is it the one with blond hair?"

"That's right." Tallulah nodded, "You do know her."

"Dorothy..." Luo Chen looked up at the ceiling, "She actually came here too?"

"Are you surprised?"

"Maybe...I didn't expect that she would give up such favorable conditions in Columbia." Luo Chen nodded slightly.

"Maybe she trusts you very much." Tallulah said lightly.

There was one more thing she didn't say - 'Just trust you as much as we do.'

"Okay." Luo Chen held Tallulah's hand and stopped massaging.

"I'll go to the research institute to have a look."

"Leaving so soon?" Tallulah looked at Luo Chen, "You just got here, are you in such a hurry?"

"Tallulah..." Luo Chen and Tallulah looked at each other, "Since you have chosen this path, you must be determined."

"We have to keep fighting on this road. Life is like this - is it tiring? In fact, we may feel tired and empty every moment of our lives. But we have to keep going."

"On this path we have chosen, there is no other choice but to fight to the death."

"Of course I know..." Tallulah said to Luo Chen, "I'm the chairman. I'm busy every day... I just think..."

"You seem to be in a hurry for something...you are always in a hurry."

"Sometimes slowing down a little bit can help you achieve your goals better."

"What you said makes sense." Luo Chen nodded slightly, "But I still think..."

"Since you think what I said makes sense, can you agree to one of my requests?" There was a hint of cunning in the corners of Tallulah's eyes.

"What request?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do."

"Okay... whatever you want." Luo Chen didn't think about it, "Then I'll go first, you get busy."

He walked away with big strides, heading towards the research institute.

Only Tallulah was left looking at his back in surprise.

"You surround the whole world, but you also surround your own heart." She sighed and said faintly.

------------------

Luo Chen walked into the research institute and saw Dorothy wearing a full research uniform.

At this moment, she was guiding the students in their experiments. When she saw Luo Chen appear, she was stunned for a moment, and then she began to tremble in disbelief.

"Really you?"

"It's genuine--hmm..."

Luo Chen looked at Dorothy who had rushed into his arms, "Are all your recent welcome ceremonies so enthusiastic?"

"I'm sorry." Dorothy looked up. "I got a little excited... I'm sorry."

She brought her team all the way to Terra Union, and although she entered this mysterious core research institute with the help of Luo Chen's relationship, Dorothy's goal was never achieved.

She wanted to see Luo Chen.
