This Terra is a little weird.

Luo Chen put down the battle book and rubbed his eyes. The war situation had taken a turn for the better for them, but it was still very difficult. The integration movement lacked a decisive battle, an opportunity to counterattack.

"Any news from the reconnaissance team?"

"No, they did not discover the enemy flagship's location."

"Please ask the comrades in the reconnaissance unit to continue their reconnaissance and tell them to be careful."

"clear."

Luo Chen wanted to use the old tactics of the Reunion Movement again. If he couldn't defeat you head-on, he would just cut off your head. However, it seemed that the enemy commander was also a veteran. He must have analyzed the previous tactics of the Reunion Movement.

The troops that were defeated by the Reunion Movement before were not completely annihilated. With the intelligence from these people, it is entirely possible to infer the general tactics of the Reunion Movement, not to mention that many of them are officers with independent analytical capabilities.

Everyone knows that the production capacity of the ice field is limited, and the Integration Movement has just emerged and is not strong enough to fight, but people who underestimate the enemy only exist in the story of Dragon Quest.

Lermontov, the general of the Ursus expeditionary army, took advantage of the fact that the Integration Movement did not dare to fight head-on, and he advanced step by step, compressing the Integration Movement's living space layer by layer. Sooner or later, the Integration Movement would be suffocated to death. Luo Chen was so stable that he didn't know what to say. The Patriot also said that the enemy commander was experienced and was the biggest threat, but they could not find the location of the enemy's flagship at all, it was hidden too well.

When Luo Chen was exhausted by Lermontov's advancement tactics, Lermontov was also troubled by the integration movement's unconventional moves. Although old, he was not like some stubborn generals. He was very innovative. If there was a way to get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, he would use it without hesitation. He was a typical pragmatist who did not care about the so-called glory at all. Only victory was the greatest glory and the loyalty to the emperor.

"What is the purpose of the integration movement?" The chief of staff felt a headache as he looked at the messy battlefield reports.

"I don't know, but judging by their situation, they probably want to confuse our judgment and then find our flagship."

"Why don't we take the initiative, expose our flagship, and let them take the bait?"

"...No, it's not safe. Lord Patriot is with them. Not many of us can last a few seconds in his hands. Besides, the commander of the other side is very cunning and may not be fooled. It's better to win by playing it safe."

"Maybe we can also conduct a decapitation operation to reduce some losses. I think it's also possible. After all, this is a civil war in Ursus. There will only be losses. It's not like fighting Kamisir. There will be no gains."

"We don't know where their headquarters is located either."

"We don't know, but we may find that person."

"We can't invite him. He takes orders directly from His Majesty the Emperor."

"This is a war to suppress a rebellion. No matter how you think about it, suppressing the rebellion is the top priority, right? Discuss it with him carefully. Ending the rebellion as soon as possible will benefit both the empire and His Majesty the Emperor. He will agree."

"...Okay, I'll go discuss it with him."

Chapter 24 Sacrifice

The war has been going on for more than a month. The Integration Movement lost the southern part of the tundra and was driven to the north. Fortunately, the command was proper and the officers and soldiers at all levels fought bravely, so they did not end up being divided and fighting each other.

During this period, the Integration Movement also achieved some results. It paralyzed two land ships and drove away from the core city, and even overloaded a mobile battleship and scrapped it. Under the leadership of Patriot, Tallulah and Froststar, the Integration Movement achieved an astonishing exchange ratio.

But just as Luo Chen was worried, Ursus had much more troops and supplies than them, and they could even get support from the southern nobles. If they lost a warship, more would come to fill the gap. If they continued fighting, they would have no depth to transfer the people and maintain production.

But there is also good news. At least Luo Chen got out of the hospital bed. His spiritual power finally took effect and helped him recover faster. The commander-in-chief's health has improved, which is good news for the integration movement, which has no good news right now.

However, Luo Chen has been having a headache recently, because Black Snake keeps spitting sugar-coated bullets at him, which is very inciting. Although he really wants to shock him to death with his psychic power, Black Snake is useful to him now. Not to mention the chaos problem, the intelligence is also relatively reliable.

"Lermontov, it's really troublesome to fight against him. That guy is very stable in fighting. If we don't use land battleships, he can build a fortress on the endless plains."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm asking you how to break the situation."

"It's simple. You rush out with your elite troops, fight in various places, and finally go to the southeast. That place is more suitable for development than the tundra."

"That's not up for discussion."

"Why, at this moment of life and death, are you still concerned about what Tallulah and those stupid followers think?"

"First of all, they are not stupid. Secondly, the integration movement was born from the people and it is impossible for them to abandon the people and run away."

"Humph! Born from the people? Would you believe that?! The Reunion was born from the infected!"

Luo Chen did not answer him, and the black snake did not care and continued shouting.

"Do you care about what ordinary people think? No, you don't care at all. The infected don't care either, and ordinary people don't care about what the infected think. Everything now is an illusion created by you! You know it clearly!"

"Shut up!"

"You are not an infected person, but you are more terrifying than an infected person. Your heart is colder than anyone else's. What's wrong? Have you been warmed up by these idiots? If you were warmed up, would you still be able to survive?! You..."

"I told you to shut up!!!" Luo Chen knocked the black snake unconscious with a spiritual energy attack.

Luo Chen covered his face. He was just a soldier before, but now he was caught in an inseparable vortex, just like a piece of steel, with no idea where to start.

"I have never been suitable for this place. If I had..." Luo Chen tried his best to hold back the second half of the sentence. Now that things have come to this, he is wearing the uniform of the Integration Movement, so he must be responsible for it.

For this purpose, Luo Chen plans to use a more radical approach. He will personally lead the commandos to attack the three supply warships on the enemy's left wing. The scouts risked their lives to detect their movements, but they were all in the back. The enemy's hiding meant that this was not deliberately exposed to the Integration Movement. They used this trick to expose the flagship and lure the Integration Movement into the trap a week ago, but Luo Chen ignored them.

The plan was to overload the cores of the three supply ships, but at the cost of the lives of all the commandos.

There is no grandeur, only sadness.

"I believe that the platoon leaders and squad leaders have already told all of you the news. We are going to attack the enemy's supply warship to open up the situation for our soldiers. It is a one-way plan. I don't want to talk about any great principles. I will only tell you one thing. If you don't want to go, put down your equipment and leave the team. No one will laugh at you because you are going to die. I will go with those who go. Does anyone want to leave now?"

The stormtroopers stood in the square, no one moved, until one man stepped out of the line, and everyone looked at him.

He walked straight to Luo Chen and pounded his fist on his chest: "General, I will follow you until death!"

Dull sounds continued to echo from the square, and everyone expressed their common wishes in their own way.

"General, we will follow you!"

"Alright! All units disband and follow orders! We will launch the attack tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Back in the room, Luo Chen used the last bit of Originium to replenish the energy of the Emperor's Holy Weapon. He also took out heavy logging rifle ammunition, automatic rifle ammunition, armor-breaking grenades, armor-piercing grenades, and chainsaw swords.

"General!"

"Come in."

"Report, Political Commissar Alina wants to see you."

"Just say I'm asleep. Also, notify Kader and have him send someone to remove the ammunition from the hunting armored vehicle."

"Yes!" The guard did not ask where the large amount of weapons and equipment in Luo Chen's room came from. He always believed in Luo Chen.

The general must have his reasons for doing this!

Alina was anxious outside. When she saw the guard coming out, she was stopped just as she was about to go in.

The guard said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Political Commissar Alina, the general is asleep."

"Then, then, comrade, can you wake him up? I..."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Political Commissar Alina, the general said that he will take action tomorrow and no one is allowed to disturb him. I am also following orders."

"...I see. I'm sorry, comrade."

The next day, when Alina was still thinking about how to find Luo Chen, he came to her on his own.

"Luo Chen, you..."

"Alina, there is no way to discuss this matter. Do you understand that?"

Tears welled up in Alina's eyes: "I, I don't understand, you don't have to go, you..."

Luo Chen held her in his arms: "Don't cry, Alina, for everyone, we have to go."

"You can always leave, Luo Chen, you can always leave. Tallulah and I would rather you run than die. You are our family, don't go."

"I am your family, but now my family is in danger. As a man and a soldier, I will not remain indifferent."

Luo Chen touched her head and said, "There are no gods in our integration movement, so we have to save it."

"..."

"Alina, the General Commissar of the Integration Movement."

"……I am here."

"I am now conveying my order to you as the supreme commander of the Reunion Movement: If I die in the assault, the command will be temporarily transferred to Comrade Bozhuo Kastie, and a new commander-in-chief will be elected at a meeting later. Do you understand?"

"……I see."

Luo Chen helped Alina wipe away her tears and hugged her.

"I'm leaving now. Be well with you and Tallulah."

Then Luo Chen got on the car, left the camp with the storm troopers, and ran towards the south.

Alina covered her chest, she only felt waves of pain: "You must come back."

Chapter 25 Raid

"report!"

"Enter."

Luo Chen looked at the scout who had returned and asked, "How was it?"

"The enemy supply ships are temporarily stationed, and three of them are relatively close."

"I understand. You can go back to camp."

The stormtroopers marched silently to a position less than one kilometer away from the supply ship, and more than 2,000 people hid in the ravine.

According to Luo Chen's deployment, they were divided into three teams. The first team had only four hundred people and a hunting armored vehicle. Led by Luo Chen, they attacked the No. 2 supply ship with a large number of people and a complex urban structure. The second team had a thousand people and a hunting armored vehicle. They were led by Kader and were responsible for the No. 1 supply ship with the largest number of people but a simple urban structure. The third team was composed of the last thousand people, led by the second company commander Sicarius, and was responsible for the No. 3 supply ship.

The tactics were simple: launch a nighttime surprise attack all the way to the core city, regardless of whether they would be surrounded and unable to escape, or whether they had the secret key or not. They would directly overload and explode their energy systems, thereby destroying the entire mobile city or blowing up most of the baggage supplies.

Night soon became the master of the world. Under its cover, the storm troopers walked to their respective attack positions and stared at the supply vehicles coming in and out.

"Turn on communication and report the situation."

"The second team is ready."

"Team Three is ready."

After confirmation, Luo Chen took the lead in shooting and knocking down several shield guards on duty. The guards fired a scarlet flare into the sky. The whistling sound shocked the Ursus soldiers guarding the supply ship.

Has the Integration Movement reached here?

"Damn it! How did they get around the defense line?! Where are the enemy ships?"

"Report! They have no warships!"

"A bunch of lunatics!"

The stormtroopers took action the moment the flare rose into the sky. They quickly killed the soldiers guarding the city defense artillery and the land bridge. The commandos and hunting armored vehicles boarded the supply ship along the land bridge.

The temporary positions hastily constructed by the Ursus soldiers had little effect. The enemy avoided the pre-made defense lines and broke up into small teams from the beginning of the attack, and began to advance towards the core city. Only a small group of enemy troops attacked along the main road, but Ursus had been frightened by the enemy troops on this main road. They had armored vehicles that could breathe fire, and even the shield guards could not withstand the metal storm. A rumor about the "metal devil" quickly spread among the grassroots soldiers.

"What! I told you to retreat to the warehouse area of ​​the second ring, where on earth did you go?!"

"Metal demon? What the hell is that? Captain, you'd better take responsibility for your actions, or you'll be court-martialed! Now, stop the enemy!"

The colonel guarding the city was so anxious that his face was sweating. Although he knew the usual style of the Integration Movement, they attacked too quickly this time and he had no time to withdraw his troops.

"support!"

"No."

"why?"

"The signal tower was blown up and communication transmission was blocked."

The Stormtroopers followed the Stalker armored vehicles and attacked along the main road. Their purpose was to attract the enemy, and they did it. A large number of Ursus soldiers came to support the main road that was struggling, which provided a great opportunity for the team to disperse and head to the core city.

"Team three, go to the left!" Luo Chen shot and killed a warlock who was about to cast a spell on the armored vehicle.

The driver of the hunting armored vehicle finally fixed the steering gear and turned the armored vehicle towards the enemy position.

"Fire!"

The lumberjacks let out a deafening roar, and the large armor-piercing shells tore through the bunkers and enemy troops blocking the way ahead.

"Be careful of the shelling!"

The stormtroopers looked for cover as the artillery units' shells rained down on the entire street. Buildings were instantly reduced to ruins, some unlucky guys were killed by the fragments of the explosion, and armored vehicles were hit directly by the shells.

Luo Chen hurriedly ran up, pried open the side door, and dragged the people inside out.

"Ahem, General, the control system is broken."

"Don't worry about the car. Unload the lumberjack guns and ammunition. The rest of you follow me to attack first."
