This Terra is a little weird.

Suddenly the Patriot changed his gesture and swung the giant spear in his hand, breaking several large trees. The lizard monster landed steadily on the ground. Without giving it any chance, Wendigo rushed over like a locomotive and knocked the monster several meters away.

The stormtroopers were not shocked by the Patriot's power. They raised their guns and shot at the lizard monster. The bullets lost their kinetic energy or bounced off after breaking its scales. Few of them penetrated its skin.

The lizard monster quickly climbed up and jumped onto the tree, moving like flying. You have to know that it might weigh several tons. It was really thanks to these century-old trees that they could support it.

More than a dozen spikes shot out from the tail. The shield guards stepped forward to block them for the storm troopers, but the bone spikes directly penetrated the heavy shields and got stuck on them.

Luo Chen took the empty magazine

Pull it out and replace it with a new one.

Captain Four on the side was still complaining: "I am not here to fight lizards in the revolution."

"Yes, of course you are not. You are here to dance."

A stormtrooper raised his grenade launcher and fired at the tree. The explosion blew down the tree trunk and the lizard monster, which fell heavily.

"Good fight!" Luo Chen raised his hand and released a psychic spell. The lizard monster was entangled by the snake-like lightning, and its flesh was immediately cut open, black blood flowed out, and many of the barbs on its body were also cut off.

However, Luo Chen was not feeling well either, and his eyes turned blood red.

"Why is it so mentally draining?"

Luo Chen didn't dare to release his spiritual energy anymore. He raised his gun and shot at the lizard monster. The armor-piercing bullet penetrated into its flesh and blood. The lizard monster roared and ran towards the pile of rocks, but its movements were already slow.

The patriot pulled out a spear stuck in the ground and threw it at it, nailing its tail to the stone before it entered the stone forest. The lizard monster struggled, then tore its tail off with force and fled into the stone forest and disappeared.

The tail kept firing spikes, like a headless fly flapping around, but everyone could only dodge. Luo Chen stepped forward with a shield and cut off the tail with a chainsaw sword, which made it stop.

Everyone wiped their sweat, got ready, and went into the stone forest again, following the blood trail left by the lizard monster until they reached a cave on the mountainside. Judging from the appearance of the cave, it seemed to have been dug recently.

The Patriot stopped everyone in their tracks.

"I'll go in."

Luo Chen grabbed the Patriot: "I'll go with you."

He was also unorganized. He stuck his spear into the ground and walked in front with a shield. Luo Chen asked everyone to stand guard outside the cave, turned the power of the chainsaw sword to maximum, and followed the Patriot into the cave.

The further Luo Chen walked, the heavier his heart felt. This was a completely man-made cave, and it was relatively new. He wondered who dug it, and why didn't the villagers below hear it?

The Patriot stopped, Luo Chen raised the chainsaw sword, and saw the lizard monster crawling out. Its injuries had recovered for the most part in such a short time, and the tail that had just been torn off also began to grow. However, it did not look in good condition, as if it was weak, and the marks of psychic burns on its body had not faded.

"Sir Patriot, I have a way to catch him."

The patriot understood, picked up Luo Chen with one hand and rushed out.

"Eh!!!!!"

Then the Patriot used his shield to hit the lizard monster hard, knocking it over, and then threw Luo Chen out.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

With a thud, Luo Chen and the lizard monster collided with each other, and he felt dizzy.

"quick!!!"

Luo Chen staggered and grabbed the lizard monster's head with his hands. Spiritual energy poured down. The lizard monster straightened its body and twisted continuously, then stopped and became paralyzed.

Luo Chen wiped the blood from his eyes while panting.

"Mr. Patriot, why didn't you tell me in advance? It's so scary!"

"I said, no, it doesn't work."

Luo Chen was stunned. This lizard couldn't understand human language, so what's wrong with you speaking it out? !

But he is awesome! Luo Chen can't beat him either, so what else can he do? Whatever Daddy says is right.

The patriot grabbed the horn on the lizard monster's head and dragged it out of the cave. The soldiers outside were very excited and applauded. The murderer who killed the villagers and soldiers was finally caught, and they wanted to skin it alive.

The patriots temporarily stopped the impulsive crowd and ordered them to search for the bodies or belongings of the victims and fallen soldiers so that they could be buried in peace in the future.

Luo Chen found several backpacks and a notebook in the cave, which contained incredible information, proving the patriot's words that there was indeed a relic under the mountain.

Luo Chen held the record book: "Rhine Life?"

Chapter 36 Relics

After returning to the command center, Luo Chen asked everyone to leave temporarily, leaving only him and the Patriot.

"Comrade Bozhukasti." Luo Chen handed the notebook to the patriot: "Just as you guessed, there is indeed a relic under the mountain."

The Patriot read the contents of the notebook, which recorded the actions of a Rhine Life Company.

This team arrived at the Ursus tundra three months ago. According to the clues they found, a scientific research ship was likely buried under the mountain. This scientific research ship was related to biotechnology. This was one of the reasons why Rhine Life was so concerned about it, traveling tens of thousands of miles and through dangerous war zones to come here.

They used Originium techniques and tools to open a channel a month ago and conducted initial exploration of the research ship, discovering many interesting things. Among them, what interested them most were several cans of active substances that were in gel form and completely transparent. However, an accident occurred and they activated the automatic defense system, resulting in heavy casualties. They finally managed to shut down the defense system.

Unexpectedly, several of the bottles of active substances were broken, and a pet lizard among the companions came into contact with the active substances. Within a few days, most of them were killed, and only the owner of this notebook escaped into the passage. Judging from the bloodstains on the last page, he was ultimately unable to escape.

"The ruins are dangerous."

}]【&

The patriot's concerns were correct. Now he was more inclined to blow this thing up, especially those cans of material. In his eyes, it was more terrible than a natural disaster. If it fell into the hands of a government...

"Should, destroy!"

"No, Bozhukas is a comrade."

"You. Want. To. Use. It?"

"No, you can see that this kind of thing is completely uncontrollable, or the way to control mutants has been lost, so it's better to destroy them. But the research ship itself cannot be blown up. It not only has scientific research value, but also political value. It can give the Integration Movement some time to prepare for war."

Luo Chen had heard Tallulah talk about the company Rhine Life, whose influence covered the entire Victoria, which was exactly what Luo Chen wanted.

Luo Chen certainly didn't believe that this company could have the opportunity to exchange interests with the country, but what if it was directly invested or assigned by Victoria? This value would be huge.

Rhine Life's risky behavior of crossing the war zone was very irrational. If it was not careful, it would be dragged into the vortex. After all, no matter how powerful it was, it was just a company. It was not only Rhine Life that was interested in coming to Ursus to explore this ruins or this scientific research ship. There was also its shareholder Victoria.

Luo Chen found a high-frequency communicator in their backpacks, which means that someone outside has contacted them and knows the actual situation. Then when this team was wiped out, why didn't they send a few more teams to check?

Luo Chen thought that it might be because the war between Casimir and Ursus was nearing its end, and Ursus, as the advantageous party, would naturally strengthen its vigilance at the critical stage, especially at the border, which made the chance of entering Ursus slim, not to mention that the news of the internal guards' activities on the ice field had spread.

Well, since Victoria knows part of Yunwu about this scientific research ship, she will definitely be interested in it. An accident caused by a jar can wipe out the carefully selected team. How much research data is recorded in it?

It would be great if Victoria could reach a consensus with the Integration Movement. Luo Chen did not expect Victoria to stop Ursus' attack. That was a fool's idea.

What Luo Chen wants is that Victoria can rely on trade to temporarily delay the enemy's pace. In short, it means selling weapons to Ursus. This issue is very complicated. How does selling weapons to me have anything to do with my suppression of the rebels?

This is because of the geographical location of the two countries. If they want to trade with Ursus, they can only pass through the ice field or the southern area under the ice field, and that is where the integration movement has occupied a small area. The ice field is also the location of the integration rebels. In order to ensure that the trade is not disrupted by the integration movement, Ursus will inevitably send troops to this area to clean it up.

The most coincidental thing now is that the Seventh Army is the closest and strongest to here. If they go to clear the southern region and protect the trade routes, they can avoid directly attacking the most important place of the Integration Movement and give him breathing time. The price to pay is small because the land occupied by the Integration Movement is basically a desert.

The idea is good, but in order to reach a consensus with Victoria, there is still an important factor missing, that is to let it see the capabilities of the Integration Movement. For this reason, Luo Chen has to take a gamble. He wants to send troops to attack the largest fortress in the south and take it down, so that Victoria can see the opportunity to cooperate with the Integration Movement.

After all, if Ursus discovered the scientific research ship, it would be a big deal for Victoria to negotiate terms. But negotiating with the Integration Movement is very simple. Technology sharing. As long as you can help me slow down Ursus, we will split it in half. You can even take the research data. I don’t want any subsequent inventions. I only want your scientific research ship that cannot be moved.

As for the fact that Ursus would become stronger after obtaining the weapons, Luo Chen was not worried at all. This batch of weapons would not fall into the hands of the Seventh Army, but into the hands of the troops on the front line of the war. Because Casimir had suffered a heavy loss and imported some weapons, Ursus was still worried about this matter. At this time, Victoria's arms trade became crucial.

This is why Ursus will not directly attack the integration movement on the ice field. Because time is tight, it takes time to eliminate the rebels, while ensuring the security of the southern region does not take time and can obtain a large amount of arms. It is obvious which one is better.

All I can say is that it was all a coincidence, but it was captured by Luo Chen.

But another important point is that the Integration Movement cannot be shown to Ursus, let alone let it be aware of it. This is also the most difficult hurdle. The nobles of Ursus are all old hands. Although they are usually lazy and gluttonous, their noses are more sensitive than each other. The slightest disturbance can detonate their sensitive nerves. For this reason, the Integration Movement must be careful, and Victoria must also play a good role.

Luo Chen shared his idea with Patriot. After thinking for a long time, Patriot agreed. He had no way to resist the offensive of the Seventh Army. Even though this method was very risky and full of uncertainty, it was better than sitting and waiting to die.

The patriot stood up: "I will go to the front now."

Luo Chen gave him a hug, although he couldn't hug the patriot.

"I'll leave the front line to you. Whether we can save the Reunion Movement depends on whether this one-time deal works."

"I see."

After saying goodbye to the Patriot, Luo Chen immediately entered the interior of the mountain with the Stormtroopers and found the scientific research ship. Luo Chen had never seen such a magnificent thing. This was the ruins of the ancient Terra civilization.

The stormtroopers first burned the cans of substances to make sure that nothing was left, then took photos of the scientific research ship and the relatively intact storage devices inside. Luo Chen also took away one of the storage boards, which would be a weapon to provoke Victoria's nerves.

Afterwards, Luo Chen contacted Tallulah and told her everything. Tallulah agreed with his plan and said she would help.

Tallulah has connections in Victoria, or rather, she herself is Victoria's daughter of nobility. She must have some informants there, and this is an important part of the connection.

After everything was arranged, Luo Chen gave the order to attack, and the Patriot began to lead his troops to attack the southern fortress.

Chapter 37: Breathing

Duke of Victoria Capps put down the newspaper, and the Drake man pondered for a moment and stood up.

"You came to me with a newspaper from three days ago. You have good intentions. Tell me, what do you want from the Integration Movement? Let me make it clear first. We in Victoria are in chaos and cannot help you."

The operator stood up and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, please don't rush to refuse. Victoria doesn't need to do anything. She can still make money for you, or for you, the Duke."

After that, the operator handed the phone over, and the Duke took it after thinking for a moment.

"I am Duke Capps, hello."

"Hello, respected Duke Capps, I am Luo Chen, the supreme commander of the Reunion Movement. I am calling you to discuss a business deal with you."

"I have nothing to discuss with you rebels. You'd better not contact me. If Ursus finds out, it might cause a dispute between Ursus and Victoria."

"Perhaps, Duke Capps, but I think you must be interested in the remains of the Ursus Icefield."

"What do you mean?"

"We don't have to play dumb, Your Excellency. Your men are obviously among the team responding outside."

".....What do you want to do?"

"I don't mean to threaten you. You must know that Casimir purchased a batch of weapons and equipment, right?"

"Of course, I bought it from Victoria, my competitor."

"Then you just need to make an arms deal with Ursus. Their factory capacity is currently limited, so they are worried about this. You might as well trade with them once and make some extra money."

Capps understood what Luo Chen meant.

"I can't believe you guys have the guts to let go."

"After all, we are not mad dogs, right? If this thing succeeds, you can take the research materials in the ruins, and how about we take over the research ship?"

"...I'll think about it."

"Okay, then I'll hang up first."

Capps returned the phone and let the operator go back. He sat on the sofa and thought for a long time.

"Dre."

"What's the matter, Your Excellency the Duke?"

"Pack up, we are going to meet the diplomatic ambassador of Ursus."

"What? Your Excellency the Duke, are you really going to help a group of Ursus rebels?"

"Rebels? What rebels? I want to do business with the Ursus government. What kind of rebels are they?"

"This is."

A day later, the message from Ambassador Victoria reached Emperor Ursus.

"Your Majesty, Duke Capps of Victoria wishes to negotiate an arms deal with us."

"Arms deal? His competitor just sold weapons to Casimir a few days ago, and now he's found me?"

"Your Majesty, although Casimir is already a dying candle in the wind, there are new types of lethal weapons among those weapons, I am afraid that..."

"When a force is at its last gasp, how big can the waves be?"

"Your Majesty, you have been promoting military and political reforms. Why not take this opportunity to let the army use more new weapons? I have heard that Victoria has developed many new things."

"The South is being taken over by rebels."

"It's just a small area. We just need to clear it out first and make sure the route is clear."

"...Let Orgiton change direction and put the suppression of the rebels on hold for now. As for the attitude of the Seventh Army, 20% of the equipment from the trade will be supplied to them. During the war, everything is focused on the front line. I hope he can prioritize."

"Yes, I understand."

After receiving the message, although Orgiton was reluctant, he was the only person who could be responsible for this area. The nobles in the south fled when the rebels attacked, and Orgiton did not want these weapons to pass through their hands.

In the end, Orgiton chose to accept the order, leaving behind 40 percent of the troops and sending the rest to the southern region to quell the rebellion.
