This Terra is a little weird.

"It must have been Luo Chen who did it. We had already agreed on it. He is so mean! Don't you think so, Tallulah?"

Tallulah had no choice but to touch her head. But it was you who started it, Alina. Although Luo Chen always teases you, it's normal for you to want to save face, but how can you confront him in this situation? Both sides will suffer! However, Tallulah didn't say it, but just comforted Alina.

No matter how reluctant the two were, time would not show mercy to them, and night inevitably arrived.

Alina bit her teeth lightly and glared at Luo Chen. Of course, Luo Chen did not want to be outdone and retaliated against her.

The following is the encrypted conversation between the two:

You are so unfair!

It was you who first said I was going to perform.

How could you be so cruel to a girl?

I have no choice. For the sake of my mental balance, I have to drag you along.

? ? ? ? ?

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Tallulah immediately sat between them, and the two had to give up.

After a while, the host announced the recent achievements, gave blessings to all comrades, and then announced the start of the "party".

There are many programs, but everyone is prepared to stay up all night, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

There was no rehearsal and no backstage. Those whose names were called stood up from the crowd and went on stage. Maybe their performances were not as good as those on a formal stage, but they embodied people's yearning for a better life. This simple atmosphere deeply influenced Luo Chen.

Still remembering a member of the Star Army, Luo Chen still remembered that he sang light-hearted and cheerful songs and danced light-hearted and cheerful dances for everyone on the most desperate battlefield.

"Hey! You bitter-faced people, if you don't enjoy this hard-earned time, you may not be able to enjoy it in the future."

The young man had just gotten married and was still very excited. Everyone was amused by his funny appearance.

Luo Chen's thoughts were interrupted because the host called Alina's name.

"I'm sorry, Alina, I..."

"I never blamed you. Just listen to my songs and don't laugh at me."

"it is good."

When Alina came on stage, there was constant cheering from all around. Our political commissar was very popular among male comrades, and even some female comrades liked him. Luo Chen was shocked by such high popularity.

After everyone quieted down, Alina began to sing the song she had composed. She described the ups and downs of the integration movement from its inception to the present in an artistic way and sang with emotion. Her gentle and moving voice was very pleasant to the ear, and when the song ended, everyone gave generous applause.

"That's great! Our political commissar is getting better and better!" Luo Chen applauded.

"Okay, the host has called you."

Luo Chen felt a little regretful when he came on stage. Why did he have to recall the past? He couldn't forget that young man now. Why? Because he felt guilty.

Luo Chen did not hear the applause. The sadness on his face made everyone's breathing stagnate. Everyone saw his pair of melancholy and deep eyes, as if the whole person was attracted to him.

He was just singing the most popular song in the Astra Militarum. It was moving in both High Gothic and Low Gothic. This song praising comrades and sacrifice was widely circulated in the Empire, but it seemed extremely cruel when played on Terra. Fortunately, no one could understand what Luo Chen was singing.

They just soaked up the special atmosphere.

Chapter 12 Contact

"You mean, you met 'The Shield'?"

"Yes, General. We met them in Kasi Village. They traded some supplies with us and then headed to the western region."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

Luo Chen sat down and thought about the problem. They would next march into the western region of the tundra and would come into contact with the Patriot troops sooner or later.

It would be great if they could agree with his ideas and join the integration movement. But if they didn't, it would be troublesome. He couldn't drive them to the south, and leaving an armed force behind could very likely become an excuse for the conspiracists.

This is something that is possible. The integration movement is developing rapidly and the number of personnel has expanded several times. There is simply no time to understand the thoughts of each individual. Luo Chen naturally believes in his comrades, but the conspiracists are omnipresent.

"It's troublesome."

But you still have to meet those you need to meet, because after meeting them, maybe they will be interested in joining.

So half a month later, the integration movement began to move westward and liberated several villages. During this period, Luo Chen witnessed a natural disaster. Not only was it huge, but it was also very destructive. The most crucial thing was that within a long time, that area would become an uninhabited area.

If you don't wear a full set of protective equipment, you will easily get mineral sickness.

So the Integration Movement made a big detour and captured a town by the way. They found that the proportion of infected people in the western region was much higher.

The reason is that there are many mines and heavy industries here, and frequent contact with Originium greatly increases the probability of contracting Ore Disease, so the attitude towards the infected here is even worse.

After the integration movement's unremitting search, they finally found the "Shield" fighting in a mine, and the Stormtroopers immediately joined the battle.

Even without the participation of the stormtroopers, they could crush the guard troops here with their powerful combat capability, but they did help them, didn't they?

Besides, they also promised to treat the infected people in the mine properly.

"Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

"Has the Integration Movement come here yet?"

"Yes, we have liberated many villages, captured three mines and two townships."

"You have done something incredible. Just the fact that you have allowed ordinary people and the infected to coexist peacefully shows that you are extraordinary."

"Please be patient for a while. The leader and the general want to talk to you."

After meeting each other, Luo Chen and Patriot first locked onto each other. They both felt the military aura from each other, and they unconsciously started a contest when they shook hands with each other. Although Luo Chen's strength was not as good as Patriot's, he did not retreat, and Wendigo did not really use any force.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Patriot."

"Nice to meet you, Commander." Wendigo realized that the age of the man in front of him might not be as young as he appeared to be, and he had the same aura as those immortals.

Luo Chen brought Patriot and Frost Star into a makeshift tent, where Tallulah and Alina shook hands and greeted them respectively.

Although the Patriot saw that Tallulah was a Drake, he did not say anything. After all, in the land of Ursus, it was not surprising to have people of all races.

"We have always heard about your achievements in the western tundra, and have always wanted to meet you."

"We didn't do anything except stand up for the infected. Instead, you did something unbelievable."

"I wonder what Mr. Patriot and Miss Froststar think of our Reunion Movement?"

"You are young, but you have never fallen." The patriot was blunt, but he had the capital.

Tallulah smiled politely: "The Integration Movement has indeed never experienced failure. I am often worried whether my comrades can still persevere if they encounter setbacks."

Froststar poked the Patriot, signaling him not to speak so harshly.

The Patriot turned to Luo Chen and asked, "Did you train those elite soldiers?"

"Yes, sir Patriot, in some crude way."

"Those soldiers are truly elite, but they seriously lack high-end combat power. They will lose miserably when facing a real Ursus army."

"Yes, I have been troubled by this problem, but we can't joke with everyone's lives. There are very few people who have awakened Originium skills and the combination rate is low."

"So, you found us?"

"Yes, Mr. Patriot." Luo Chen said bluntly: "We do want to cooperate with you. Although our philosophies are not exactly the same, our goals are the same, to protect the interests of the infected and to avenge the oppressed."

"You are too idealistic and ambitious. Be careful not to get hurt."

"Indeed, we have ambitions, but this is what is needed to liberate this corrupt empire. If we don't even have the courage to resist a behemoth, how can we call ourselves soldiers?!"

Alina felt the temperature around her drop. How dare Luo Chen, this young man, scold the Patriot! He was a war hero, and a true pure-blooded Wendigo.

"I have indeed lost the courage to resist Ursus, but I can still protect my family."

"No! Mr. Patriot, you and I both know that the war between Ursus and Kamihil is coming to an end. The next thing to deal with is the rebels and guerrillas on the border! If we don't unite now, the only fate that awaits us in the end is to be defeated one by one! Will you really have the energy to protect everyone by then?"

The Patriot was silent for a long time before he said, "I don't know how you fight."

Luo Chen understood. He wanted the Integration Movement to prove itself. The Patriots wanted to see that the Integration Movement's troops were really capable of fighting against the regular army of Ursus. These noble armies in the fiefdoms were all spoiled, and beating them would not prove anything.

"Then, Mr. Patriot, would you please join us in attacking the Ice Fortress?"

Everyone looked at Luo Chen. Was he really not crazy? The people stationed in the Ice Fortress were not just random people. They were regular Ursus troops, with artillery units and heavy equipment, and even guns that were rarely seen on the tundra. The officers in their command group were extremely powerful.

"Are you serious?" The Patriot stared into Luo Chen's eyes, and the latter stared at him without giving in.

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, our goals are not the same, and I don't want my people to die." After saying that, Patriot and Froststar stood up and were about to leave.

"Stay, Mr. Patriot."

Wendigo stopped and turned around. Luo Chen came up to him and handed him a letter.

"You must read this letter. It is written after we leave the camp. Seven days later, I will lead my troops to attack the Icefield Fortress. Sir Patriot, take care. I won't see you off."

After the Patriot left, Tallulah and Alina pulled Luo Chen back to the chair. Alina even put the back of her hand on his forehead, looking very worried.

"Luo Chen, your brain is not burned out, right?"

Luo Chen took her hand away unhappily: "I'm not kidding."

"Are you really going to attack the Ice Fortress?"

"Whether it's expanding westward now or fighting against Ursus's attack in the future, the Ice Fortress is an obstacle that cannot be avoided, so we must fight it."

"But can we defeat them? They are Ursus' regular army, which is far different from those recruited by the nobles."

Tallulah also said, "I also think it is an unwise choice to attack the fortress now."

"Our fighters are not bad either, and who says we have to fight alone?"

"Do we have anyone as an ally?"

Luo Chen looked at the two of them with a smile, and his asking for a beating expression made Alina want to give him a big slap.

At this time, Tallulah remembered that Luo Chen gave a letter to the Patriot.

"That letter."

Luo Chen nodded: "I made an offer that he absolutely cannot refuse."

In the temporary camp on the ice field, the patriot opened the letter by firelight. Inside was a piece of letter paper, two medical test reports and two photos.

After reading the words on the letter, the patriot's whole body shook as if there was an earthquake. He hurriedly looked through the medical reports and photos and stood up excitedly.

"Dad? What's wrong with you?" Frost Star asked worriedly.

"Froststar, go gather everyone."

Shuang Xing's pupils shrank slightly: "Dad, do you want to?"

The Patriot just stared in the direction of the Reunion's base, even though he could see nothing at all, and finally he nodded.

"In seven days, we will join forces with the Reunion Movement and attack the Ice Fortress together."

"okay, I get it."

Froststar gathered her team of snow monsters and finished giving the orders.

"You must be careful and get everyone here."

"understand!"

Chapter 13 Preparation

All the troops of the Integration Movement gathered in the west within three days. The commotion they caused was not small, which increased the alert level of the Ice Fortress.

There was a tense atmosphere in the camp. In four days, they would launch an attack on the strongest mobile city on the ice field, which was a restricted area for all guerrillas.

During this period, Luo Chen was not idle either. He ordered people to repair an abandoned mini mobile city. The requirements were very low. There was no need to repair the braking and steering systems. All he needed to do was maintain the straight-line impact force and strengthen the frontal armor.

Luo Chen needs it as the spearhead of the attack, carrying the storm troopers to directly attack the Ice Fortress, and then engage in a boarding battle.

The new engineers and sappers of the Reunion Movement didn't care about anything and just found armor plates and pushed them forward. They even dismantled the walls of the mobile city and moved them to the front to use as armor to resist artillery fire.

In order to prevent this mini mobile city from being top-heavy and causing any serious safety accidents, the rear engine and the rear weight were symbolically strengthened.

When Luo Chen saw the finished product, he fell silent and slowly called the engineers.

"Luffy." Luo Chen pointed at the 'mobile city': "What is this?"

"Move the dump truck!"
