Arknights? Colonization Ark!

If he were fighting this battle, he would probably use the old combat style, with five to ten people in a squad, dividing the enemy into groups, and then using the Ursus warships to scout out their weaknesses and defeat them one by one.

But the problem is that their current individual firepower and troop quality are far from meeting Zhang Miao's requirements.

"So, Captain, since Tallulah can already handle things on her own, there's no need for you to shoulder all the responsibilities."

"After watching these two years, I feel that the Terrans are much more hardworking than the Federation people!"

How can this be compared?

Lexington's words made Zhang Miao want to complain

The people in the Federation are all so idle that they are used to living a life of idleness and waiting to die. If they are really mobilized, do you think they can defeat a hundred Terrans with one person?

Even if they started from scratch, they could have conquered all of Terra within ten years.

Of course Lexington knew all this. She said these words simply because she wanted Zhang Miao to put down some of the burden and share it with others.

Zhang Miao never believed in the nonsense that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. That is pure moral kidnapping.

Only with greater power comes greater responsibility.

Based on Tallulah's behavior when they first met, there was no way he would let someone like that be his leader.

She'll just send everyone into the fire.

But now, after experiencing this war, Zhang Miao believes that she has grown enough, and maybe it is time to let go and leave this place to her.

Zhang Miao looked down at Lexington in his arms and slid his hand into her lower back with some ill intentions.

"How long do you want your captain to relax?"

"Hmm..I don't think it will take too long."

......

While the two of them were still playing, Tallulah, who was discussing the obscene points with them, had not slept all night.

To be precise, she has had very little rest during this period.

"Tallulah, I think you should put down the work at hand and take a rest. If you are too tired, your command will be ineffective. You should also think about your health."

Alina stood in front of the desk and handed the freshly brewed coffee to Tallulah, hoping that this would relieve some of her friend's fatigue.

"It's okay. You can have a good rest after you're done with this."

Tallulah had too much to do. Zhang Miao came back and did nothing. He was like a hands-off boss. He just carried his big loaf of bread and went to find Lexington. He was nowhere to be seen the whole day.

She tried hard not to think about where Zhang Miao was and to concentrate on the work at hand.

Count the prisoners of war, soldier casualties, material losses, internal security detentions, material transactions with Theresa, and future development plans.

Oh my God, it was thanks to Lexington's almost endless computing power, otherwise she would not be able to count all these people even after a month.

The most outrageous thing was the admiral who escaped with the duke.

When he found that there was no hope of escape, he simply hacked to death the Duke who was still talking nonsense beside him, and then attacked the Punisher.

His desperate charge made Tallulah very emotional, but unfortunately as an enemy, all she could do was to let him die with honor and barely leave his body intact.

The only valuable person captured alive was the lieutenant general who was fished out of the tunnel.

The specific disposal method has not yet been decided.

The number of prisoners of war was even more astonishing, as many as 170,000. It took a whole day and night just to capture the prisoners.

Fortunately, Theresa arranged for someone to take over, otherwise, as Zhang Miao said, if you want so many people to behave themselves, at least half of them would have to die.

This also directly exposes the biggest problem at present.

The number of troops is too small.

It is easy for these troops to break through Ursus, as they have always taken the elite route in the past, but it is a pipe dream to control Ursus, unless one day Lexington turns on the war mode and directly puts everyone under control, but that would be out of control.

Therefore, military expansion is imperative.

The remaining 14,000 prisoners of war...

Tallulah suddenly remembered something and asked

"Where is Kashena? She didn't do anything out of the ordinary while we were away."

Alina shook her head

"She hasn't done anything during this period. Every day she's either auditing classes at school or reading in the library."

I have been keeping myself in line...

Could it be that the black snake has really changed its temperament?

No! That's not right!

Black Snake is definitely not an honest person. She is definitely planning something in secret, just like provoking those prisoners of war without telling herself.

Although these prisoners of war helped her a lot in this war, Tallulah still had strong doubts about Kashena's behavior, thinking that she must have some hidden secrets behind these things.

Now we can only hope for Mrs. Lexington... Never mind.

Tallulah shook her head, trying to put all that mess out of her mind.

......

And in Kazdel, thousands of miles away from Ursus.

"Your Highness, are you going to kidnap and sell people from Ursus?"

W stood outside the transport station, watching the seemingly endless number of Ursus prisoners of war being transported out. Her head was about to break, but she still couldn't figure it out.

They were just traveling to Ursus, but the other side head-on destroyed an entire Ursus army and captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners. How did they do it?

Unexpectedly, such a large-scale battle would take at least a month or at most half a year to be over, but from the time she set out for the speech to her triumphant return, there were only two or three days, which was not even enough time for her to prepare the explosives.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and Theresa's pink hair was a little messy because of the wind. She looked at the large station under construction nearby and said with some emotion:

"I thought I was dreaming, too. W, the world is about to change. The Sarkaz must take this train, or they may never have another chance."

Chapter 125: Marginalized people amid cheers: Kashena

Unlike the time when they defeated Kolchak, most people probably didn't know about that battle, but in this war, Tallulah announced to everyone that they would win.

The news of the army's triumphant return reached everyone's ears in the shortest time possible, and the whole city was cheering and celebrating.

Because it means that they have defeated Ursus and the fear in their hearts. The better they live here, the more they feel repulsed by Ursus's reign of terror in the past. The more they learn, the more they can feel the corruption and depravity of the Ursus nobles.

They have no desire to go back to the past, and if necessary, they will defend this new world with their lives.

To celebrate the victory, Lexington even gave everyone three days off. Factories stopped working, schools suspended classes, and people put on their most beautiful clothes and gathered in the streets like waves.

The girl had beautiful flowers in her hair and a plate of steaming hot bread that had just come out of the oven. She took it to the street for everyone to taste for free.

At the door of the tavern are piled high wine barrels, which are all made by the wine brewed at home. Yes, Zhang Miao does not prohibit these behaviors, as long as they do not affect the lives of others and do not cause waste, whether it is a tavern or a restaurant, there is enough space and supplies for everyone to use, as long as the application means are reasonable and legal, they can get a license.

People linked arms and danced traditional celebratory dances in the streets, singing the songs their grandmothers once sang, and the gorgeous fireworks in the sky were clearly visible even during the day.

Under the arrangement of Zhang Miao, who had regained consciousness, the soldiers and logistics troops also conducted a parade in the city, including the prisoners of war who had participated in the war.

The huge gray-white armor was covered with petals scattered by people, and on the warrior’s head was a wreath woven by girls.

They did not plunder a single gold coin from any other country, yet they were more beloved than any Ursus army.

The whole city is bursting with vitality.

And Kashena, who had been talked about by Tallulah all the time, was now standing on the outer balcony of the library, overlooking everything.

She opened her arms and let the cool autumn breeze blow on her. Her dress swayed in the wind, like the ever-changing clouds in the sky.

The cheers from the whole city came into her ears along with the wind.

But Kashena's eyes were closed. She did not feel all this with her physical eyes, but with another pair of eyes, a sense that humans do not have.

There, there is no up or down, left or right, no sun, moon or stars, and no passage of time. It is like an overturned paint palette. Everything looks bizarre and chaotic, a chaos that cannot be described in words.

Kashena has no form here, but she can feel countless whispers coming from all directions. They are like rivers and lakes, with millions of tributaries converging, and finally here, they become an individual in some form.

The individual's name was Black Snake.

Although the existence of black snakes is unique, they are not rare.

They are called evil gods. They are not beast masters or giant beasts. They are another more peculiar existence, closer to humans.

And unlike the first two, their numbers are still increasing, just at a slow pace.

The one who was born recently has a name that makes the Terrans shudder.

Witch King.

Kashena was standing on the balcony, feeling this emotional torrent that was completely different from the past, fanatical but not extreme, exciting but remaining true to herself.

This was a scene that Ursus had never seen before. Even when the previous emperor was at his most prosperous, the whole country of Ursus was fanatically pursuing war and plundering countless wealth. The people would also line the streets to welcome him, but their thoughts were crazy and extreme. All they thought about was how to join this feast of sharing and their extreme worship of the empire.

The result was that after the failure of the two major wars in the Eastern Kingdom, the aristocratic groups whose interests were damaged directly killed the previous emperor, divided the interests from the imperial power, and sidelined the new emperor, forcing Fedor to support the new aristocratic reforms and re-consolidate the imperial power.

But here, amidst the vitality, what Kashena saw was an extreme rule that was even more terrifying than imperial power.

It’s just that this kind of rule is hidden deeper and more bottomless. No one can resist and can only follow the route predetermined by that person. And everyone is happy with it because that person can share enough benefits, which are endless.

And lofty ideals are also a kind of interest.

At this moment, Kasheina heard a noise behind her, the sound of the curtain window opening and closing automatically.

"Just now I was wondering when you would come to see me. I thought you had forgotten me."

Her words did not cause much reaction from the visitor.

"Don't talk so ambiguously, it makes me feel like I'm here to have an affair."

"Will she kill you if it's an affair?"

"It's not that outrageous. I might sleep on the couch for a while, but you're probably dead."

Zhang Miao coughed twice. He was not happy with the vicious woman in front of him. She was obviously speaking to a third party.

In fact, he should have come earlier, but because he overestimated his own abilities, he slept for a few hours longer and his legs are still a little weak.

You must be crazy to compete with a machine.

As he thought this, he found a place to sit down because his waist was aching from standing for so long.

Kasheina was unmoved by Zhang Miao's threats and continued

"Now I can no longer influence Tallulah, so are you here to kill me?"

The purpose of Zhang Miao asking Kashena to come over was nothing more than to help Tallulah eliminate the hidden danger in her mind. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is not impossible to eradicate the problem completely.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Zhang Miao really wanted to know how species like black snakes felt about death.

"The death of my body is of no consequence to me. I have gained enough from this body, and even if I lose it, it will not be a big deal."

Zhang Miao nodded at Kasheina's words. At first, he did think about whether to kill the black snake, but he knew nothing about that spiritual world, so there was no point in killing an empty shell.

So instead of killing her, it is better to make use of Kashena.

As for how many things Black Snake has done on this land that have angered God and the people, what does it have to do with Zhang Miao?

Even if she was a loyalist in the past and caused rivers of blood to flow, so what?

In Zhang Miao's eyes, all these accounts were zero, including the mess of hatred between the Sarkaz and other races. If the situation was not too troublesome, he would find a way to solve it, but that did not mean it was necessary.

Since there is no way to completely eliminate Black Snake now, it is better to cooperate first. If the network operated by Black Snake can be obtained, it will be a great help for Zhang Miao who wants to take over Ursus as completely as possible.

Moreover, Black Snake doesn't have so many mental burdens for some things that Tallulah is not convenient to do.

Chapter 126: Cooperation

After the cheers on the sidewalk gradually faded away, Kashena finally turned around, with her hands folded on her waist. She looked particularly intellectual and dignified. It was hard to associate the person in front of her with some evil god.

This was the first time Zhang Miao officially saw her. It must be said that those who could choose the human body independently would have good taste. After all, not everyone would be willing to run around with the appearance of an ancient god.

Unfortunately, he is in the sage time and has no interest in these things.

"How's your time here been?"

Kashena walked to the opposite side of Zhang Miao and sat down naturally.
