This Terra is a little weird.

"Oh! Finally."

"Before I listen to what you say, you have to ensure the lives of my soldiers. If they die, I will not listen to anything you say. I know their health conditions, and the situation of many of them is not optimistic, demon."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. They will return alive. Just be well for now. In the southern countries and southern waters of the earth, a species is rising. They will be the greatest test that mankind has ever faced. You may even lose in the competition for survival with them. Their leader has already appeared on earth. You don't have much time left."

"You arrested my soldiers and threatened me just to say this? In my opinion, you are a greater threat!"

"Whatever you want to think, if you live, we will continue this endless game so that we won't get bored. If you die, the worst that can happen is that we will just change the toy."

"I have heard your words. Let my warriors go."

"Of course." The evil demon really let the Kashejins go. Kolya dragged them onto the Thunderhawk one by one, and then flew away on the Thunderhawk. The evil demon also disappeared on the spot, and only the blizzard was still raging.

The Patriot leaned against the wall, thinking about the truth of what the demons said. Why did they say this?

Want a distraction?

No, although the evil spirits often use tricks, they only target their positions. They get pleasure from playing games with humans. This is the first time they say that humans are going to perish.

If what it says is true, the southern country? The southern sea?

Are you talking about Iberia?

The Patriot thought for a long time but could not come up with a practical answer. He did not intend to hide it either. He simply wrote down the details of what happened, combined with the report of Team 108, and sent it along with the recording to the Ursus government department. Only through discussion among everyone could they come to a final answer.

But before that.

"Carshaw."

Chief of Staff Carshaw came over from his desk and saluted the patriot: "Commander!"

"Notify the Astra Militarum Corps in the northern theater to prepare for war and send a request to the Cadia Group for Space Marine support. The demons are likely to launch an attack."

"Yes!"

Chapter 166 Iberia

Luo Chen, Tallulah and Alina, with dark circles under their eyes, worked hard to process the arms orders from Ursus. The items sent were indeed complicated.

Some things still require the imperial armaments to be called from the holy vessels. This project is indeed not small, and the raw materials stored in the warehouse are not enough for production.

There are so many things to do, such as material selection, production packaging, various procedures, transportation routes, etc. I ran around for two days and two nights and signed documents everywhere. Anyone could hardly bear it.

Fortunately, I have entered the finishing stage of the work and can go to bed after it is completed.

Luo Chen patted Tallulah and Alina's desks and said, "You two should go to sleep first. It's been a long time. The rest is my original work, and it will be done soon."

Tallulah and Alina nodded and walked away slowly, too tired to talk.

Luo Chen finished his work in no time. When he saw that it was very late, he didn't have the energy to go back to his room. He simply pulled a blanket and lay down on the sofa in the office. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until breakfast the next day that Luo Chen began to think about why Ursus' arms orders suddenly increased and why they requested the Space Marines to help strengthen the defense line. They also ordered a large number of unmanned equipment from Thor Industries.

I didn't know until I watched the news that the northern war zone of Ursus was launching a large-scale drama that there might be unusual movements in the endless ice field in the north. Is the evil demon about to start attacking?

But usually only one or two of them go shopping on the defense line, just like playing a game.

However, since there is a threat from evil spirits, the Cardia Group cannot let down its guard. Agrippina Industries continues to expand its production lines, and the group has applied for the right to open a subsidiary in Victoria.

The construction of a new industrial company, Lucius Industries, began, and many STC production lines were transported there. In a month, the small town in eastern Victoria will become the next large industrial center.

However, according to the contract, 20% of the weapons and equipment produced by Lucius must be sold to the Victorian Army at a 15% discount, but the tax can be reduced.

All Victoria wanted was for the army to be equipped with automatic rifles. After all, many Victorian gangsters were equipped with many Agrippina III automatic rifles.

This weapon is extremely powerful even without the use of Originium techniques, and has suppressed many detectives in the criminal activities of gangs.

Even for ordinary people who have not received much training, if they set this type of automatic gun to single-shot mode, it will still be a terrifying suppressive weapon.

I, Victoria, cannot be equipped with laser guns like Ursus, but with my financial resources and technology, I can form an efficient mechanical automated army. Our combat effectiveness is still among the top ones on Terra.

However, Luo Chen heard that Victoria's royal family had appeared and was currently in Rhodes Island. Luo Chen had met this Aslan named Wang Vina twice, but she did not show the aura that a royal family should have, which was why Luo Chen did not consider it carefully.

However, it is no secret that Wang Weina is a member of Victoria's royal family. But Victoria still has some things to deal with at this time and cannot take care of this lost royal family.

And even if he could take care of it, Wang Vina, codenamed the King of Advancement, would no longer have an easy life in the future. He would either become a king or be harmed by assassins and schemes.

It all depends on whether Rhodes Island is determined to help her take the throne and how many supporters she has in the country.

Before Luo Chen could rest, he received a secret call from the Patriot, who revealed to Luo Chen what happened on the endless ice field, told him the evil demon's fable about the extinction of mankind, and that a powerful enemy would appear in the south.

"That's all it said."

"…Mr. Patriot, there is no need to discuss this matter. What the evil demon said is true."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was still able to use Originium techniques, I sensed that there was a certain consciousness in the south. They were numerous, but separated from each other, yet they could form an efficient machine. If this is what the demon said, then it might really happen."

"Should we send a scouting team?"

"No, let us do this job. Ursus's troops will not have much advantage in going to Iberia."

"Then I'll leave this job to you."

"Ah."

"Froststar...how is she?"

"Sir Patriot, Frost Star has been smiling all the time recently."

"Really? Then I'll be relieved."

"Then I'll hang up."

Luo Chen leaned back in his chair and thought. Iberia was a very mysterious country. Few people from the outside world had ever been there. And the news that had been spread out was that there were a huge number of monsters roaming around the land of Iberia.

Incredibly, Iberia is still a country that everyone recognizes, but has always been forgotten because of its terrifying power.

The Iberians can drive genetically modified monsters, and even orthodox Lateran firearms cannot cause any harm. The people of this country can survive from the sea of ​​monsters because of their strong strength.

Luo Chen was not very willing to go to Iberia to explore, and he was even more reluctant to bring people with him. They didn't have any maps, terrain, or even the characteristics of the local creatures. He didn't want to get any team involved.

Iberia gave Luo Chen the feeling that it was a place that was one-tenth the intensity of the Catachan Rainforest. Although the only things that wanted to kill you were ferocious beasts, it was still dangerous enough.

But he couldn't not go now, so he began to select men from the veterans, and formed an eight-man team of tactical experts with various specialties.

At the same time, Luo Chen will also get help from Salamanders and White Scars Space Marines in this operation.

When the Salamanders' Space Marines arrived here, they were once silent, because the massacre at the landing site of Isstvan V was an indelible memory for them, lingering in their minds as if it had happened just yesterday.

When they saw the Emperor's holy artifacts and the weapons and armor made by the Lord of Fire Dragon, they regained their fighting spirit. The comfort of the brother legion and the Emperor's final order made them believe that Luo Chen was the spokesperson.

Why else would this mortal be wearing weapons and armor made by the Lord of Fire Dragon himself?

Swearing in the name of the Emperor and the Gene-Father, the members of the Salamanders will help the Speaker complete all tasks.

The Space Marines of the Salamander Legion are all very tall, which is also inherited from the Lord of Fire Dragon. Other Space Marines are far from being as tall and tough as the Salamanders.

Ordinary Space Marines are as much shorter than Salamanders, and Luo Chen standing in front of them looks like a child.

But these giants with huge physiques are compassionate. They always take civilians into consideration during battle and always put the evacuation of civilians first.

While other legions left a vast expanse of death on the ground during the Great Crusade, the Salamanders saved a large number of civilian lives.

And Vorkan, the Lord of Fire Dragons, is said to be the image spokesperson who best fits the Emperor's vision for the future of humanity. No other Primarch cares about the life and death of mortals as much as he does.

Vorkan is tall and strong, an immortal with great power. He tells his legion to ensure the safety of civilians and teach them the spirit of craftsmanship.

If the Emperor had not made him realize that if the Great Crusade had not succeeded, more humans would have lived in dire straits, then he might have continued to create tools for people to survive until the world was destroyed.

The White Scars Space Marines were willing to help Luo Chen because they had a good personal relationship with the Salamanders. Moreover, there were only four of them in total, and they had their own considerations for choosing to act as spokespersons with the Salamanders.

So, four members of the Salamanders Legion and two members of the White Scars Legion joined the expedition. With the help of the Space Marines, Luo Chen was confident and agreed to take W, Froststar and Mudrock to Iberia together.

As for Tallulah and Alina, they needed to go to the defense line on the endless ice field in the north. Yesterday, Luo Chen watched them go to Ursus on a Thunder Eagle.

Today we will head to Iberia with the expedition team.

Luo Chen and others sorted out the supplies and moved them onto the Thunder Eagle gunboat.

The Space Marines came over, led by a champion warrior from the Salamanders Legion. He had a ring of steel on his armor and a hammer called 'Earth-Splitting' in his hand.

Luo Chen stopped what he was doing and asked, "Master Harold, what can I do for you?"

"Saint Luo Chen, Battle Brother Chaka does not recommend that we carry so many supplies."

"We have to stay in Iberia for a while. We don't have local intelligence. Mortals can't eat organic matter as easily as you do. Without this food and water, we won't be able to survive for long. I spent two years in the rain forest of Catachan. The lethality of the jungle is terrifying."

"We all know what you said. Chaka suggested that we act quickly and not stay in one place for a long time. Besides, the intelligence described that the threat comes from the ocean."

"Lord Harold, of course I know the threat comes from the ocean, but the threat can also come from the land. We discovered the whereabouts of the Black Blood, and it's a big fish. They went to Iberia."

"Wouldn't this organization be willing to reveal its true colors so easily?"

"Indeed, unless they have something urgent to do."

In fact, according to the original plan, he only needed to go to the southern coastline for reconnaissance, but after hearing the intelligence about the Black Blood, he temporarily changed his itinerary, because the Black Blood that appeared in Iberia this time was their boss, Ide the Drake.

It was him. He and Luo Chen had suffered losses in several previous battles. Now the knife marks on Luo Chen's chest and arms have disappeared, but the sword marks on Yide's body are still there.

The two were filled with hatred for each other, and the feud between the Cadia Group and the Black Bloods began when the first Catachan team was killed by the Black Bloods.

But now, the Cadia Group is growing bigger and bigger, while the Black Blood is becoming less and less. This is directly related to the Catachans' endless pursuit across the earth.

Although the losses in the battle with Black Blood were huge, the Cardia Group was able to gain support from governments of various countries. Black Blood, a criminal organization with no bottom line, was condemned by everyone.

The Cardia Group became wealthy thanks to these supports, otherwise how could it rise in such a short period of time?

However, nowadays, it occupies a large market share in the world, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, overwhelming many of its peers. Most of them have switched to high-tech equipment, but they still cannot surpass Thor Industries.

The Space Marines and the expedition team boarded the Thunderhawk gunship and began to head for Iberia. There is a long distance from Longmen to the southern part of the earth, and even if they take the Thunderhawk gunship, it will take more than an hour to fly.

Luo Chen and W were driving the Thunder Eagle, which had little maneuverability while flying in the sky, so W, the co-pilot, had a lot of free time.

"W, come to the meeting with Thunder Eagle."

"Okay." She bit the lollipop into pieces and exchanged places with Luo Chen.

Luo Chen adjusted the parameters of the Thunder Eagle for her and picked up the communicator: "Attention, Unit 2, we still have ten minutes to go."

"receive."

W suddenly said: "Hey, idiot..."

"what happened?"

"Theresa said before that I want to have my own name. Originally, I asked Hedley for help and he exposed a bunch of books to me. Humph! Now help me think of one."

Luo Chen sighed silently. W is very smart and has a good memory, but she just doesn't use it in studying. If she used her memory and intelligence in studying, it wouldn't take long for her to make those top students in Victoria feel ashamed.

But when W heard about reading, she refused to do it, as if books had a grudge against her.

"W, you have to know that names are given by parents, and people without parents either have guardians or benefactors who give them names. As for naming yourself, that is your own business."

"You won't help me?"

"Yes, do you know why Hedley and I rejected you?"

W stepped on Luo Chen's foot: "Hurry up and tell me, you still dare to talk nonsense."

"Hiss... You are Hedley's trusted comrade, and my family. This is the key. You are no longer ignorant now, and you have to decide your name by yourself. It's not okay to let others give you a name."

"If one or two people don't help me, forget it!"

Luo Chen smiled and said, "You will think of it sooner or later, W."

"..." W pinched Luo Chen's face and twisted it hard: "If you say anything sarcastic again, get out. You know I don't have much education."

"It hurts! Just give me some advice!"

W let go: "That's more like it."

Luo Chen rubbed his face and picked up the communicator that suddenly rang: "Go ahead."

"Saint Luochen, Dom found something wrong ahead."

Luo Chen immediately turned on the bird's ear device, and a large red dot began to flash on the screen.

"Flying creatures, avoid immediately, do not engage."

The two Thunderhawk gunboats immediately pulled up and continued to move towards their target. They had already arrived in Iberia, but they still needed to fly a short distance before reaching their destination.

"Everyone check your equipment and land in one minute."
