This Terra is a little weird.

Perhaps the killing efficiency of the oripathy is not as high as that of the Empire's extinction weapon, but it can make those alien worlds chaotic, just like this land of Terra. In a world that the Empire cannot clean up directly for the time being, this is the most economical and labor-saving approach. This was Luo Chen's original motivation.

"You are right, Kosice, I do want to use the Integration Movement as a tool to achieve my goals, but not anymore."

Be it Tallulah or Alina, or everyone in the Integration Movement, the constant interactions between them made him find the feeling of home. Yes, the feeling of home. He was no longer a member of the Astra Militarum. This world had no aliens and no chaos. Although it was chaotic, it still had beautiful things.

The Integration Movement is Luo Chen's life-saving straw. After losing everything, it gives this old man a goal again, even though they are all a group of idealistic fools.

"I may not survive today, but don't think you can do anything to the Integration Movement."

Luo Chen is ready. He wants to use the Chaos psionic power to transform himself into a demon. In this way, he can kill Koscheić with the help of psionic power. After that, the Emperor's divine power will backfire on him, thus killing himself as a demon and preventing the spread of Chaos corruption. In this way, he should be able to save Tallulah.

"I'm sorry, Tallulah. I hope you can continue to move forward with your fellow Reunion comrades."

"Wait! Let's talk first!"

Luo Chen didn't want to listen to his nonsense. Just as he was about to release himself, he was hit on the head by something, which woke him up instantly.

Chapter 20 Psychic Awakening

When Luo Chen's body was unstable, Kosice suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Luo Chen in an instant, and his hand knife stabbed towards his abdomen. Suddenly, blue lightning wrapped around Kosice, and the violent psychic energy explosion threw him out. His body showed signs of melting.

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen three powers combined in one. You're really unexpected. No wonder you can't be infected with oripathy."

Luo Chen had forgotten that he was originally a psychic. It was he who unleashed a psychic storm during a gang fight, which shone like the sun in the warp. The demons in the warp followed the psychic storm to the hive city and turned the planet into a hell on earth.

That was the first time he met the Emperor. He did not reveal his true form, but was just a cold black sun. He did not kill Luo Chen, but sealed his spiritual power and memory.

"Join the Astra Militarum and atone for your sins."

.......

"It turns out that the one who has been rejecting the Originium particles is not Chaos or the Emperor, but myself."

Luo Chen felt the subspace, it was very calm, not as turbulent as before. He guided the waves from it to knock Koschei to the ground, and while he was unable to move, he turned thunder into a sword and stabbed him.

"Wait! If you kill me, Tallulah will die!"

Luo Chen stopped his hand: "...Why?"

"I have already eroded part of her consciousness. If you kill me, part of her consciousness will be destroyed as well. Her brain will also be damaged, and she won't live long."

Luo Chen smiled. What a coincidence. Although he didn’t know anything else, he often separated consciousness in the Xiachao gang.

However, Luo Chen did not intend to kill Koschei. Since he was something like an evil god, this might just be a fragment of consciousness. More importantly, he had no way to kill him. Even now, chaos was attacking him, and using psychic energy would increase the risk of being eroded.

But he thought of a good idea. He used psychic energy to guide the power of the Emperor and began to force the chaotic energy. Luo Chen put his hand on Kosche's head, and the chaos was forced into Kosche's body.

"What is this!!!" Kosice's face immediately twisted and he looked in great pain.

Luo Chen immediately suppressed the chaotic spiritual energy in his body.

"You transferred that twisted power to me?!"

Luo Chen could not deny that he did this in order to avoid being attacked by chaos when using psychic energy. In this way, he could only use a part of his psychic energy to suppress chaos immediately. It was now very weak due to the consumption of the emperor's divine power, but Luo Chen could feel that the emperor's blessing was gradually dissipating.

"I won't waste my words. Either you listen to me now, or you get swallowed by that ghost thing. Don't think about anything else. If it swallows you, it will go find another you. No one else can kill this ghost thing except me, so do you want to die?"

"......what do you want?"

"It's a rational choice. I want all the information about Ursus, including the terrain, the army, the mobile city, etc. You must have lived for a long time, right? Don't tell me you don't know anything."

"...I understand. As long as you can suppress this energy, I will tell you everything."

Luo Chen then used his psychic power to separate Koschei from Tallulah's consciousness, and then used psychic power to suppress him and lock him in his own consciousness.

It was an unwise decision, but Luo Chen was willing to take the gamble. The Ursus government had already noticed them. Even though the emperor had little control over the border, the integration movement had truly become a threat in their eyes. They even withdrew troops from the front line to cooperate with the local garrison to launch a counterattack.

Just after gaining a foothold in the southern region, he was immediately beaten back. Luo Chen truly realized the strength of the Ursus regular army, so he needed intelligence, personnel, weapons, equipment, technology, etc. Talullah did have some intelligence networks, but many of them were captured by Ursus some time ago. Talullah guessed that it was led by the Emperor's inner guards.

This sounded a wake-up call for Luo Chen.

When his consciousness returned to reality, Luo Chen only felt pain and weakness. His body, which had already been swept by two energies, was now even more overwhelmed.

He looked at Tallulah who was lying next to him and her complexion had improved a lot.

You seem to be sleeping soundly, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Why don't you open your eyes and help me?

Luo Chen had no choice but to take out his communicator, and with difficulty switched the channel to call his second captain. Oh, he was already the second company commander.

"Sicarus, ahem, Sicarius, did you hear that?"

"Who are you *Ursus swear*? How did you find this channel?!"

"Communication, cough cough, password, Meteorite 345U946K3."

"General! Why is it you? Why did your voice become like this?"

"I'm dying, come quickly to the leader's office and call a doctor."

Luo Chen then fainted and had no idea what happened next.

——————————————————————————————————

A week had passed since the incident, and Luo Chen was sitting in bed with his body wrapped in bandages. Even so, he still had to work, but he had Alina do the writing. As for her original work, it had been temporarily shared out by several experienced political commissars. There was no other way as military affairs were busy during this period. Although Bozhukas had taken over part of the work, with the arrival of the expeditionary army, military affairs would only become more busy and complicated, leaving no time for him, a patient, to rest.

Luo Chen originally thought that he would recover quickly after awakening his psychic powers. However, it turned out that he was not even as good as a priest. His psychic power was relatively weak, and most of it was used to expel the alien stone particles, suppress Koschei and chaos. The rest was equivalent to nothing, and he was still an ordinary soldier.

If he were to use it forcefully, he would only suffer a mental breakdown. This was the disadvantage of psychic energy. Before breaking through the upper limit, it could only circulate within the tolerable range. Moreover, as for things like breaking through the upper limit, Luo Chen could not think of anyone else who could do this except the emperor, those living saints, and those chosen by God.

"What's the use of my psychic power? Forget about using any crackling magic in my life."

But Luo Chen was not really sad. After all, he had been using firearms for more than 200 years and relied on them instinctively. He would not be able to use something mysterious and risky in a short time.

"Luo Chen, there is also this report about Comrade Bozhuo Kastie's military expansion."

"I agree with him. Please sign it for me and submit it to the Recruiting Department."

"Okay." Alina finished writing and asked worriedly, "Is there going to be another war?"

"Yes, Ursus has started to attack us, Alina. I really don't know if we can survive. I think I have lost confidence."

Alina held his hand carefully: "Don't worry, my comrades and I always believe in you and the comrades fighting on the front line. We will definitely get through this difficult time."

Luo Chen smiled at the lovely girl.

Luo Chen looked out the window and sighed silently. Under the wave of Ursus's crackdown, he hoped that the Integration Movement could still survive this time.

Chapter 21 Disadvantages

"Report, the Third Regiment has retreated to the designated defense line and is defending Snow Wind Ridge with the Eighth Regiment."

"Tell them to stop the enemy's attack and hold their place until the people in the rear retreat."

"Yes!"

Under the attack of Ursus, the Integration Movement was unsurprisingly forced to retreat again and again, and half of the southern part of the ice field had been lost.

Luo Chen sat in the rear command center and remotely controlled the troops. His injuries had not yet healed. Roman said that his lungs and liver were severely damaged, and it was a miracle that he was able to survive. But the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic now. Even if he died tomorrow, he had to command the troops. Only he and the Patriot had fought major battles in the integration movement. Luo Chen had no way to go to the front line, so he had to hand over the position of field commander to Bozhucasti (Patriot).

Luo Chen wanted to stand up and take a look at the map, but it was difficult for him to stand up, so Alina beside him helped him up.

"Thank you, Alina."

"In three days and three nights, you only slept for a few hours. You are still a wounded soldier. Don't force yourself to stay here."

"No, this is still a critical moment. If we can't find a turning point, all the comrades on the front line will be in danger."

"But look at yourself! Your face is pale. If you die, it will be a blow to everyone!"

Luo Chen moved his eyes away from the map.

"I……"

"Report to the general!"

"speak."

"Bozhuoska requested evacuation on behalf of the Major General."

In order to cover the evacuation of other mobile cities to fixed defense lines, the Patriot drove the Ice Fortress alone to fight against the four battleships of the expeditionary army.

"Have him retreat immediately, according to Plan 8."

"Yes!"

Luo Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness. Fortunately, Alina supported him in time. He glanced at Alina's expression.

Maybe it's time to take a break.

"Please ask Leader Tallulah to come to the command center."

When Talula arrived at the command center, she went straight to Luo Chen and put her hand on his forehead.

"I was against you going into battle from the beginning because I was afraid something might happen to you. How are you doing now?"

She has been waiting for the order to attack these two days. Luo Chen handed over several mobile cities of the reserve team to her. If there is a big problem on the front line, they will act as the fire brigade.

"I need to sleep for a while." Luo Chen handed her the battle book: "Hold the third line for now. Patriot is following Plan No. 8. The evacuation will be completed in a few hours, and the command center will move back. Then..."

"I understand. Leave this to me. Alina, you have to keep an eye on him and don't let him run around."

"Ok."

After saying that, Alina helped Luo Chen back to the temporary room and let him lie down.

"Wait for me for a moment, I'll find a doctor."

Luo Chen hurriedly grabbed her and said, "No, the field hospital is short of people. Just help me get Dr. Roman's medicine."

After Luo Chen fell asleep, Alina quietly wiped away her tears. She was worried about the current situation and Luo Chen's physical condition. She was a gentle girl who had always pretended to be strong.

Looking at Luo Chen sleeping next to her with heavy breathing, Alina had no choice but to cover him with a blanket and go out. Some documents had just been delivered to her office and she had to deal with them.

Luo Chen opened his eyes after Alina left. He had trouble falling asleep. When he thought about the current battle situation, he became so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Luo Chen really couldn't think of how to fight Ursus. A head-on fight was absolutely impossible. The unique military and technological system on Terra meant that they could not fight a guerrilla war. Everyone's property and personnel were in mobile cities, so where could you fight guerrilla warfare?

In the end, everything has to come back to the battle for the mobile city, but this is the weakest point of the Integration Movement. There are fewer people than Ursus, and there are no real land ships. The only one is a converted mobile city at the township level. It is still unclear whether it has real combat capability.

The only one with combat capability was the Icefield Fortress, which was hastily opened up before repairs were completed. Luo Chen could imagine the difficulties faced by the Patriots, but he had never disappointed anyone since the war started a week ago.

Everyone in the integration movement calls him Big Daddy. He is really very reliable.

Luo Chen's Last

Still fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he was woken up by Tallulah.

"Has the transfer started?"

"Yes, the evacuation of civilians has been completed and is now being implemented according to Plan 13."

Tallulah slowly helped Luo Chen up: "I have to go to the front line. You must take care of your health and don't force yourself."

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry about me."

After Tallulah left, Luo Chen boarded the evacuation convoy and began to move to the rear.

In order to keep communications silent to prevent being tracked by the enemy's high-end combat forces, Luo Chen issued a few final orders before leaving.

One is that when the command center begins to move, the right wing front should try to launch a counterattack, which would be best to cause the enemy to misjudge. Among their field commanders, Frost Star is leading the team, so Luo Chen is relatively relieved.

The second one was sent to Tallulah, asking her to assist in the transfer of the Patriots and to stop the main enemy force attacking in the center.

The third rule is the most important. It is for the stormtroopers who have just completed their equipment changes. They must act together in at least two companies to disrupt and attack the enemy on various fronts. They can choose any method they want. Luo Chen believes in the commanders he has trained, but there is only one thing they must strictly follow: do not fight to the end.

"General, have some rice soup."

After thanking the cook, Luo Chen slowly picked up the bowl and started to drink. Old Roman temporarily forbade him to eat hard things, so he had to ask the kitchen staff to prepare a special meal for him.

"Luo Chen, will we win?"

"I... believe in our comrades. They are the source of the integration movement's strength and they always create miracles."

Luo Chen did not answer her question directly. He himself did not believe that he could win.

Luo Chen had previously submitted several drawings to the arsenal, which were youth versions of the automatic rifle.

The caliber was reduced to only ten millimeters, the alloys used in its manufacture were different, the shapes were different, the bullets were also different, and they were ejecting shells. The final product had only one-third of the power of an automatic gun, but it was enough.

The number produced was small, and the ammunition was also limited, just enough to equip the Stormtroopers, and even then the Stormtroopers could only maintain semi-automatic mode.
