This Terra is a little weird.

Oh my god, it smells so good!

"Hey! You came so early?"

When Luo Chen looked up, he saw Shi Huaiya in a plaid skirt. She didn't look like a police officer in her usual attire at all and was extremely beautiful.

"Oh, Commander Shi Huaiya is treating us, how can I be late?"

"There are no police officers today, only Shi Huaiya." She took Luo Chen's arm and dragged him into the restaurant.

Luo Chen originally wanted to pull his hand away, but Shi Huaiya stuffed a small piece of paper into his hand, so he understood and let Shi Huaiya pull him into the box.

He looked at the codeword after the paper ball was opened: "They stole Longmen's fuel reactor? How many people did you lose?"

"Two hundred and thirty-seven people. Are the people from the Black Blood Organization so strong? What are they doing with the fuel tanks?"

"I don't know, but they definitely have a purpose for what they do. The terrorists you saw today were actually their trainees. I don't know how many people there are in the Black Blood Organization, but I have fought with them. From all the signs, there are about fifty people, and only two or three of them came today."

"What is their purpose?"

Luo Chen shook his head: "I want to know too, but Black Blood has activities all over the world, and what they do is like today. It is incomprehensible, but if you think about it carefully, linking all the abnormal things together, it is an extremely dangerous thing. I don't know what the consequences will be in the end."

Shi Huaiya sighed: "Fortunately, we have captured a person. At least we can get information from him."

"Captain Shi Huaiya, you can't get anything out of him. Even if you do ask, I suggest you give him a dose of truth serum, but it probably won't have any effect."

"Have you ever captured someone with black blood before?"

"Of course, but it's within Ursus territory, so Longmen Law can't apply to it, right?"

"Humph! Whether it's Longmen or the Ursus Republic officials, they can't do anything to you, right?"

"Haha, we were working together with Kashejin from the Eastern Anti-Demon Force at that time. We were carrying out security missions in the demon-controlled area. That was my first encounter with the Black Blood. As for what they did, I can't guess, but they must have succeeded. So I captured one of their members and tortured him. I injected him with truth serum, one shot after another, and then the man bit off his tongue. Even if we rescued him, we couldn't get anything out of him. He wouldn't say anything. Asking him to write would only cause bigger problems."

"So how did you deal with it in the end?"

"Kashezin shot him dead and burned him to ashes on the grounds that he was a threat to the work of the Eastern Defense Forces."

Shi Huaiya did not say anything. The eastern border of Ursus could not be considered as the territory of Ursus, but a separate area. Everything had to go to the garrison troops. They had the power of life and death. As long as they determined that there was a threat to the defense line, no matter which country the people were from, they could be killed directly without reporting. This was a right recognized by Terra. After all, without those people who fought against the evil spirits on the border, where would there be a safe environment now?

"So what should we do? Just keep a terrorist in jail for free?"

Luo Chen handed Shi Huaiya a business card: "Go find him."

"This is?"

"Don't worry about it. The Royal Guards shouldn't worry about it either. He's a friend of mine. I saved him twice. If it's him, there's still a chance to torture him out of him. It's just that the torture method is not legal. Now that you've come into contact with the Black Blood Organization, you have to temporarily put the law and justice out of your mind. In front of those scum, these are all bullshit. Don't have any mercy, because they will take revenge crazily if they get a chance. Do you understand?"

"...I, I will discuss this with the Powder Intestine Dragon."

"There's nothing to discuss about this, Commander Shi Huaiya. When I was in the army, I traveled all over the black and gray areas. You policemen in big cities can't imagine how cruel people can be."

"......"

"It's not that law and justice are wrong. They are correct and must be promoted. Without law, there would be no order and freedom. But there are always some people who have no effect when you use the law to deal with them. When you try them, you find that they are so cruel that the law cannot convict them of all their crimes."

“Those people are always the minority.”

"Yes, of course, but the Black Bloods are all this kind of people, and they are even more dangerous. Officer Shi Huaiya, this may be the darkest moment in your police career. It's not because of dereliction of duty or a big mistake, but because you have encountered such an organization. You, be mentally prepared."

"...Okay, I understand."

"It's getting late, thank you for your hospitality, I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute, sit down first. Don't waste food. You haven't even eaten a bite yet. And I have good news for you."

Luo Chen sat back down and began to slowly clear the plates: "What good news?"

"The Reunion Movement has recently been marching into the imperial city of Ursus. Talulah just recently wrote to Chen Huijie, so you definitely won't see it on TV."

"Tallulah didn't tell me about this. Judging from her personality, she will probably wait until she wins before showing off to me."

"Your relationship is so good."

"Haha, we've been together for a long time."

"In that case, the final moment of the Ursus Civil War has already arrived. The changes on earth may happen much earlier than anyone expected."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"I don't know either. These are things that politicians would think about. As for me, I'm just a police superintendent in Longmen."

"Hahaha, yes."

"Okay, let's eat quickly. It's not easy for outsiders to have a meal with our family, let alone us taking the initiative to treat them. But don't compare me with the people in our family. I am who I am, Shi Huaiya!"

Luo Chen enjoyed the meal very much. He was indeed Longmen’s super chef. His cooking was top-notch and he couldn’t stop eating.

"Well, um, um! Shi Huai Ya!"

Chapter 96: Outskirts of the Imperial City

It is now the second half of the Terran year. After half a year of siege and blockade, the last city of Ursus, which is also the power center of the Ursus Empire, the Imperial City, has been surrounded by the Integration Movement.

Emperor Ursus simply stopped running away. Since he could not prevent the demise of the Ursus Empire, he decided to fight the most costly battle to end the civil war. This would be a way to live up to his ancestors.

But this decision is unfair to the people of Ursus.

Tallulah stood in military uniform, holding a sword. Standing in the command room were the generals of the Patriots, Froststar, and Reunion.

"Comrades, now is the final moment. The Ursus Empire will surely fall, and the people will be reborn in the flames of war. Ursus will shine again under the glory of integration!"

"To integrate the movement!"

"Now, Chief of Staff Kashaw, please tell everyone about the attack plan for the Imperial City."

"Okay, the structure of the imperial city and its various fortifications make it an impregnable fortress. In fact, we have no way to carry out the assault tactics we used before. The Imperial Guards, the Inner Guards, and the Imperial Guards have sealed off every place. Even every house is an enemy position. Therefore, we can only conduct a safe assault, relying on artillery and tanks to gradually take out all positions and finally break through the palace."

Kashaw pointed to the map of the imperial city and said, "The outermost area of ​​the imperial city, which is the largest area in the city, is where the enemy's first, second, and third lines of defense are located. Then there is the imperial palace area, which has four gates. This is the fourth line of defense. The last line of defense is the core palace area where the emperor himself is located. If we take that area down, the civil war will end."

The Patriot did not listen, he already knew everything. From the very beginning of the siege of the palace, this was a chess game with a predetermined outcome. Everyone was just playing their own role, even the roles of losers and winners were already determined. Both the emperor and Tallulah knew what the final outcome would be, but the emperor was unwilling to give up, so this war would continue until the moment the palace was breached.

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the Integration Movement's eight fortresses, twelve modified ships, and twenty-eight mobile warships advanced from the encirclement toward the huge royal city. A fierce artillery battle immediately broke out between the two sides. The artillery shells of both sides turned the plain into a basin, the steel was evaporated, and the soldiers fell in their combat positions.

As the Reunion Fortress arrived at the combat position, fifty-two earth-shattering cannons and thirty-eight Medusa siege cannons brought the artillery battle to its climax.

The long-range explosion caused great casualties to the guards outside the imperial city. Huge craters were blown out on the ground, and the light exposed from inside flashed miserable sparks.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the artillery on the walls of the imperial city were destroyed. The modified warships rammed the walls mercilessly and dropped the first batch of troops.

Accompanied by Sentinel mechas and Chimera armored vehicles, several battalions of the Integrated Army advanced towards the palace area, and the battle immediately broke out in the streets and alleys. The two sides fought at an extremely close distance, with laser guns and bullets fighting each other.

The Imperial City has been purchasing firearms through various means since two years ago. They understand that they cannot compete with the Reunion Movement by relying solely on close combat. The weapons and armor they possess are not on the same level as them. However, if they are a composite force with a large number of firearms and sorcerers, they can compete with the Reunion Movement.

The premise is that the Integration Movement does not have the support of armored vehicles and artillery.

But the reality was not as the Guards imagined. The entire outer area of ​​the imperial city was engulfed in war, and the Patriot, as the front-line commander, personally went to the front line to command the battle, and he himself was the first commando to jump off the battleship.

The ghostly Alpha Force continued to obstruct the support of the Inner Guards. They fought with the Inner Guards in the palace area, the outer area, and even the court area, buying a lot of time for the large army.

The Integration Army quickly occupied the first line of defense outside the palace. They took over the arsenal and the station, and maneuvered everywhere through the well-developed transportation network outside. The Sentinel Mechas moved around everywhere, eliminating the armored warriors of the Guards one by one. The Hunter missiles they were equipped with were a nightmare for the heavily-armored Guards.

The reorganized troops were completely crushed by the Chimera armored vehicles' rampage. The twin-mounted heavy bolters spewed deadly flames, reaping the manpower of the Guards. They didn't even have time to use Originium skills before they were smashed into pieces by the brutal power of the heavy bolts. It was not until they hit the rear guards that the bolt bullets truly exploded, unleashing their original power and knocking down large areas of the enemy.

The Patriot led the Black Shield Guards and advanced steadily in the center of the battlefield. The artillery of the Integration Movement poured out ammunition non-stop, turning fortresses and bunkers into ruins. The fire net created by the scorching rays of the laser guns became a death zone that no one dared to approach.

Froststar and her team of snow monsters are active in various areas of the battlefield. Large areas of the city are frozen, just like the cold tundra, even more freezing.

Frost Star stood on a frozen building and watched the situation on the battlefield. The Integration Army was pressing forward step by step, while the Guards were constantly retreating.

Following the Patriot's order, the Stormtroopers and Lemanus tanks were thrown into the battle, and the originally tense situation instantly became one-sided.

The Stormtroopers have now been fully equipped with tangent laser guns and carapace armor, plus various heavy equipment and the support of Lemanus, they are now no less powerful than the Kashezen troops on the border.

The addition of such a troop to the battle was fatal to the Guards. Their bullets and hacking attacks could not hurt them at all. Even their proud Originium skills were suppressed by the enemy. Every cannon shot fired by Lemanus became the howl of death, lingering in the ears of the enemy.

With the roar of Thunderhawk gunships, Stormcrow fighters and Predator attack aircraft, the battle outside the imperial city officially entered its final stage. The inner guards who had been entangled by the Alpha troops were killed by the Predator's brutal firepower, and a large number of melta cannons poured down on the remaining positions of the Guards with destructive firepower.

The Medusa siege guns and earth-shattering cannons were towed by armored vehicles and placed behind the front line, using powerful artillery fire to continuously destroy the morale and spirit of the Guards.

In the end, the enemy's morale collapsed as quickly as a tower. Most of them turned their guns on the officers and captured them, then surrendered to the Integration Army, while others chose to commit suicide.

This kind of war and this kind of army were unfamiliar to the soldiers of Ursus and to the land of Terra. They were unable to resist the offensive of the Integration Army. No one could survive under that kind of firepower, not even for a second.

With the collapse of the morale of the Guards, the chess game was no longer as difficult as before. All the soldiers in the game had fallen down, and some even pointed their swords at themselves. Emperor Ursus sighed, and the end of his fate moved one step faster.

In the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards were fighting each other. Although the rebellion within the Ursus Empire was soon stopped, the Imperial Guards leader had no idea how they could fight the Reunion Movement. Would they rely on the Originium Blades or the few Imperial Guards? They couldn't even guarantee their own lives. They were fleeing in panic under the attack of the Reunion Movement's aircraft. They couldn't be counted on at all.

He stood on the ruined city wall, watching the Reunion soldiers place their flags on the buildings in the municipal district, waving the red flags with the Reunion logo and cheering.

The outer perimeter of the imperial city had already fallen, and the veteran's tears dripped into the ashes on the ground. He still remembered the most glorious time of the Ursus Empire. But in just a few decades, the empire had gone to waste and was now headed for the abyss, from which there was no return.

"We've lost. There's nothing left to fight for."

"General, what should we do now?"

"...You guys take His Majesty with you and evacuate through the secret passage. There is still time."

".....yes!"

Chapter 97: Battle for the Imperial Palace

The scout pulled aside the curtain and entered the front-line command room. It was a busy place. It was close to the battlefield and the explosion site was not far away. The tables and chairs were covered with body parts and dirt. Everyone was covered in dust and had bloodshot eyes.

"Report! The enemy is increasing its forces behind the third city wall, and there are always a large number of artillery units and heavy equipment... cough cough cough."

Seeing his face covered in dust and blood, the commander looked around for his water cup, wanting to give him something to drink. When he picked it up, he saw a layer of dirt inside, so he didn't want to give it to the scout.

Finally he drank most of the soil and handed the cup to the scout.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go to the rear to prepare."

The scout gulped down half a glass of water and said, "Yes!"

The front-line commander inserted a red pin at the back of the map onto the left side of the No. 3 city wall.

"Let the Third Regiment immediately support the Third Wall and bring two Lemanus tanks over!"

"Yes!"

The Imperial Guards were stationed on the walls of the Imperial Palace. They could not risk fighting with the Integrated Army on the walls of the Imperial Palace, as that would only deplete their already scarce numbers.

They had just ended the civil strife in the Imperial Palace District, and not only were their numbers greatly reduced, but they were also physically exhausted. Now they had to deal with the third attack echelon of the Integration Army.

Of course, they could escape by driving away the core city, but the structure of the Ursus Palace proved that they could not do this. The palace area was modular, but the large area outside the palace was not. They wanted to separate the core city, that is, the palace area.

They could only blow up the large number of link fixtures outside the palace, but that area was now under the control of the Integration Movement, so they could only hold on here to buy time for the emperor to escape.

Operating heavy weapons, the Imperial Guards continuously fired at the Integrated Army under the city wall. Tracer bullets and laser beams flashed in the air and flew quickly towards the enemy's position.

"Adjust! 3340, high explosive bomb!"

Following the order from Captain Lemanus, high-explosive bombs flew out of the gun barrel and blasted a big hole in the city wall. The Chimaera armored vehicle immediately moved forward, drove out of the fog, and used heavy bolts and laser cannons to clear obstacles. Stormtroopers followed closely behind, using grenades and flamethrowers to clear one defense zone after another. The living space of the Imperial Guards was being continuously compressed.

But then, the offensive of the Integration Army encountered the biggest obstacle. The Internal Guards ignored the Alpha Force's method of delaying time. They all gathered together and cooperated with the Imperial Guards to resist the wave-like attack of the Integration Army.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly came to a stalemate. The Imperial Guards were outnumbered and their weapons and equipment were inferior to those of the Stormtroopers, so they had no way to fight back. The Integrated Army was forced to switch to a defensive posture because of the Internal Guards' unhesitating counterattack. The palace area, which was not too large to begin with, became a meat grinder. The two sides fought in every street and pavilion. The Ursus Internal Guards jumped from one area to another, causing considerable trouble to the Integrated Army.

The supply team and the medical team almost lost 60% of their efficiency, but no matter how hard the Internal Guards tried, the Imperial Guards could not stop the attack of the Integrated Army. They were defeated and fled towards the palace area. More and more holes appeared on the gate formed by the Imperial Guards' defense line. Finally, the Internal Guards found that they were surrounded and there was no time to escape.

When they saw the tall figure, their battle was over. The Patriot had completely cleared all areas outside the palace. This time he came just to eliminate the inner guards. Frost Star stood behind the Patriot.

At Froststar's suggestion, the First Company of Stormtroopers stayed behind to help them deal with the Inner Guards, because no matter how powerful the Patriots and Froststar were, they could only fight against two or three Inner Guards at the same time, and the rest could only be contained by elite troops.

The rest of the troops continued to follow the command of the headquarters and advance towards the palace area. Lemanus directly broke through the wall to clear the way for everyone, and the twin-mounted heavy-bolter Chimaera stayed behind to help the stormtroopers contain the inner guards.

When the Yeti Squad released the first spell towards the Inner Guards, the confrontation between the two sides began immediately.

The stormtroopers restricted the movement of the inner guards with precise shooting, fixing them in one area and allowing them to be swept by heavy explosive arrows.

"Be careful of the evil god fragments in their bodies!" The Patriot pushed away two inner guards and swung his spear to knock one of them away.

"Don't give them the chance to self-destruct! Suppress them!" the Patriot yelled to everyone.

The heavy weapons group used grenade launchers to blow up roads and houses, completely blocking the inner guards' retreat. As Froststar's Originium skills exploded, the entire street was covered with ice and snow. The storm troopers pointed their melta guns at the inner guards who were frozen into ice. In an instant, the ice and the inner guards were directly evaporated by the melt. Under such terrifying power, the evil god fragments didn't even have time to self-destruct.

In the bedroom of Emperor Ursus, the emperor had put on his armor and picked up his battle axe, ready to fight the Integration Army, but the Prime Minister and the Commander of the Imperial Guards held him back.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Your Majesty! You can't go! Go!"

"Leave? Where to go? The empire has fallen. I am the emperor of the Ursus Empire. I will never escape from the war, even if I die on the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
