Chapter 65 The Apostles

"Achen, do you want to eat cake? I made it myself." Alina pushed open the door and came in with a plate.

Luo Chen signed and took the cake plate handed to him by Alina. He cut off a piece with a fork and took a bite.

"Mm, it's delicious, Alina, your cooking skills are always so good."

"No, I just followed the recipe."

Luo Chen saw a man outside the door wearing a pitch-black military uniform with a Hydra printed on his shoulder. He poked his head out and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Alina, this is for you. It just arrived yesterday." Luo Chen handed over a bag.

Inside were several books that Alina had always wanted. These books were hard to get, so Luo Chen used his connections to buy a few from Xugula.

"You're...going to work, right?"

"...I'm sorry, urgent work... So, if I can spare some time, how about having dinner with you tonight?"

"Okay, then I won't disturb you from working."

After Alina left, the officer in the black military uniform came over and saluted Luo Chen.

"General!"

Luo Chen responded to his salute: "Any news about Alpha?"

"Report: Those groups that joined us midway have now backed off."

"Just because I heard that three Ursus Guards Corps came to the front line?"

"Not only that, they already had issues with the organization, and they have become even more dissatisfied recently." The officer came very close and whispered, "They are forming cliques in the army, and the power of the surrender faction is growing stronger and stronger."

"Oh! They really raised a bunch of ungrateful people, and they even extended their hands to the army. They don't want to live anymore. Let's kill them. At this stage, we must ensure our unity."

"General, I'm afraid that's not possible. They did their job perfectly and have military merits. Now they are in the rear. If they suddenly disappear, it will probably cause a stir."

"...I will bring this up at the leadership meeting. You guys keep an eye on them."

"Yes, there is another piece of news. The head of the Texas family in Sygula wants to see you. He is just outside the door."

"...I understand. Please let him in."

"Yes!"

Luo Chen remembered this family. They had not had any contact with the Integration Movement for three years.

Previously, the Texas family, the Naomi family and the Calanche family were the leading families engaged in gray trade with the Integration Movement, with a wide range of export projects.

The patriarchs of these three families have the best relationship with Luo Chen. Although they are not true friends, they are trustworthy business partners and they have never had any disputes in business.

After all, the Mick family and the Landes family had all betrayed the Integration Movement, and ended up with their families broken up and their loved ones killed. All the police found at the scene was a confusing Hydra logo.

Luo Chen had met the patriarch of the Texas family. That was when the Integration Movement was most in need of money, because they had discovered a rare earth under a mine, and the elements contained in it were also very rare.

This is a national-level resource. If it is brought to the market and sold, it is no longer something that can be measured in money.

But the Integration Movement was in urgent need of money. Although those rare earths were extremely rare, at that time, the Integration Movement was squeezed by Ursus and it was difficult to survive. How could it have the mind to consider stockpiling resources?

Luo Chen contacted many people, but only the people from the Texas family dared to accept the order, and it was their patriarch who came in person. Judging from his appearance, he must have encountered some major changes and was also in urgent need of funds.

By selling the high-quality rare earths produced in the ice field on the black market, a lot of money can be made.

Luo Chen looked at the clan leader who walked in. He now looked haggard, and his clothes did not show his former nobility, and were not even decent.

"General Luo Chen, how are you?" He bowed.

"Mr. Texas, what are you doing..."

"Haha, you should have heard about it, right?"

"…Naomi's family said last week that something bad had happened to your family. What exactly…"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore, it's too late, General, you are the only one who can help our family now!"

"Mr. Texas, could you please make yourself clear first?"

"Our family is finished. I have no other options. The families hostile to us are about to win. Everyone in my family is finished."

"...Mr. Texas, I..."

Luo Chen couldn't help him. The Texas Family was a foreign mafia, a foreign force and had stains of its own. The Integration Movement and they were in a gray industry, but if they were to put it on the table, it would not work, so there was no way.

"General, I don't ask you to help my family. I just ask you to send them to a safe place. Just a few people will do!"

"..."

"Is it still not working... Sorry to bother you, General Luo Chen."

"… Three days later, a company of Kashejin, a unit of our army, will collect supplies and carry out escort missions in the southern region of Ursus. They will pass through the borders of Sygurá and Yan, and eventually return to the eastern border defense zone."

The patriarch's originally dull eyes now flashed with light. He wanted to thank him, but he kept his mouth shut.

Luo Chen stuffed a piece of paper with a password written on it into a stack of Longmen coins.

"This is the money I owe your family last time, Mr. Texas. From now on, the Integration Movement and the Texas family will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"...As you wish, General Luo Chen." The clan leader took the Longmen coin and bowed deeply.

He asked Luo Chen for a photo and left. Luo Chen didn't care. His appearance had already been published in newspapers of various countries, so he just gave him the photo.

Luo Chen picked up the phone that had just rang.

"Hey?"

"General, we have a team called 'Apostles' here, uh, two Sarkaz and a Kuranta... they want to see you." This was a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Okay, I got it, wait a moment."

"clear."

Luo Chen arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon and met the three "apostles".

The Kuranta man was tall, with long golden hair in a ponytail, and looked very heroic in his armor. He must be a knight of Casimir, and he must be of some importance.

The Sarkaz next to her had long beige hair and wore a long white skirt.

There was also a Sarkaz who seemed to be the leader. He was wearing a black robe and had two white horns, making him different from the other Sarkaz.

The beige-haired Sarkaz saw Luo Chen take a few steps towards him and was blocked by another Sarkaz.

"Hello, I am Luo Chen, the supreme commander of the Reunion Movement."

The leading Sarkaz said: "Hello, General Luo Chen, we learned about you from the newspapers and your election list. My name is Shining, that Kuranta is Lin Guang, and this one is Nightingale."

"Hello, Lord Luo Chen."

"Hello, General Luo Chen."

"Hello."

Shining spun the strange staff in her hand: "We are here to join the Reunion Movement."

“…I’m afraid that won’t work.”

Among them, Lin Guang is a Kuranta. There is no problem for her to live in the area controlled by the Integration Movement, but joining the Integration Movement is a sensitive political topic.

Ursus had just reached a truce with Casimir, but because of the civil war, Casimir took the opportunity to take back his territory. Although he is no longer taking any action, Ursus remains vigilant.

What does it mean that you, the Integration Movement, are recruiting Kuranta people into the army at this time?

Furthermore, the relationship between the Integration Movement and Casimir had also become strained two weeks ago.

Casimir wants to "retaliate" against Ursus, but the Reunion Movement is on fire. I've almost taken the border, and you've taken back the land you lost. Now you want revenge? Who are you going to take revenge on? What do you want to do?

Therefore, Luo Chen cannot recruit Lin Guang, and the apostles probably will not abandon her.

"Is it because of me?" Lin Guang raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Miss Lin Guang, this is not discrimination, but the recent political situation is sensitive. Please understand."

"...Shining, Nightingale, you two stay here."

"Then where are you going?"

"Me? As a knight, I have decided to leave my hometown. Then I won't be afraid in the outside world. There will always be a place for me on earth."

“The Apostles are a group and will not abandon any of their members.”

"Miss Shining..."

Luo Chen thought of a way: "Actually, I can hire you guys in my personal capacity, what do you think? The commission will be calculated based on the market price."

"……it is good."

Afterwards, Luo Chen signed a contract with the three apostles. He saw that these three people were quite capable, so instead of letting them run away, it would be better to keep them by his side. Although she felt a deadly threat from the Sarkaz man named Shining, she didn't have any other intentions, at least not now.

As soon as Luo Chen walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the patriot stopped him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Patriot?"

"You recruited them? Do you know who the one with white hair is?"

"You mean The Shining?"

"She is the Hercules."

“…The official organization of Kazdel? Why do you know about it?”

"All Hesinists are dangerous. She must be. Apart from the Demon King, only Hesinists can give me a sense of danger. And this Shining, she... is very strong."

“…I don’t know what their purpose is.”

"It's best to find it out as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be serious consequences."

"Okay, I see."

A busy day of work finally ended when night fell, and Luo Chen went to find Alina as promised.

"You're here. We just prepared dinner. Tallulah has a lot of work to do, so she can't eat with us today." Alina helped Luo Chen take off his coat.

"Then let's eat together."

"Ah."

Chapter 66: Surrender Faction

The cold winter of Ursus is about to pass. During the last few blizzards, both the Reunion Movement and Ursus are avoiding the recent frequent natural disasters.

Both sides simultaneously temporarily protected all the Scourge messengers stranded on the land of Ursus to prevent them from getting lost in the unexpectedly strong snowstorm this year.

Ursus's Guards Corps has arrived at the front line. They are Ursus's most powerful army. Facing a powerful enemy, the integration movement does not have a united atmosphere.

Because of the defeatism of some people, the morale of the army was seriously affected, but Luo Chen was unable to take effective measures. The radicals represented by Luo Chen, the patriots and Kashaw had a fierce quarrel with the surrenderists at the meeting.

Seeing that the verbal dispute was about to turn into a physical conflict, Tallulah intervened and punished both sides.

Immediately following the conference, they held a leadership meeting and discussed the issue of the capitulationists.

However, Luo Chen is the leader of the radical faction, so he will not speak, but his attitude is obvious.

Tallulah also knew the impact their behavior and thoughts would have on the organization and the army. Moreover, they held high positions, made considerable contributions, and their behavior was legal, so she could not come up with an effective solution for the time being.

The patriot said bluntly: "In the face of this situation, just kill them."

"No, Mr. Patriot." Alina objected to his suggestion.

"How are we going to explain killing them?"

The patriots remained silent. There was no way to accuse these people of any crime. Forcibly putting accusations on others would only shoot themselves in the foot, and there was no way to put the blame on the Ukrainian secret agents and internal guards.

They are all powerful Originium artists. Even if they can't beat the inner guards, they have to make some noise, right? And now the rear is very concerned about the cleanup work, and spies have been extinct for a year.
