Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

Mainna stood up straight and said goodbye to Claude with a serious expression. This middle-aged man who always had a gloomy expression on his face, now had something different in his expression, as if he was sighing with emotion, and seemed to be expecting something.

Claude nodded slightly. He understood what the other party wanted to say. He knew from the first time they met that this middle-aged man seemed indifferent to everything, but there was still a light in his heart that the current knight of Casimir did not have, and they both knew what they were expecting.

"Oh, and here's one." Claude took out a map and opened it. There was a route drawn on it. There were also descriptions of the key locations on each route.

"I have made two trips from here to Casimir. It will be faster for you to take this route, and there will be no shortage of supply points along the way. Although you are not afraid of bandits with your strength, it will still be troublesome if you can't find food. When you arrive at the Great Knight Territory, you'd better contact Grand Knight Russell and let them make arrangements for you. Otherwise, you may have trouble entering the city. After all, I heard that those guys from the Commercial Federation have never given up in these years, and there are many of their people in the checkpoints."

The two young men spread the map on the hood of the car and discussed the route on it, while Mainna looked back at the city. This city no longer had the depressing atmosphere like other cities in Ursus, but a thriving vitality. He didn't know how many years he hadn't seen this scene, but maybe he would be able to see it often in the future.

As you chew the jerky, your saliva soaks the dry muscle fibers, moistening them and releasing the flavor into your mouth. Your teeth tear at the soaked fibers, cutting and crushing them one by one, allowing them to release more juice, stimulating the taste buds on your tongue. Mixed with the large amount of seasonings sprinkled on top, the jerky becomes more fragrant the more you chew it, and it can help you while away a long time.

When you are satisfied, swallow the chewed jerky into your stomach, then take out the next piece and continue chewing.

Claude chewed the jerky all the way back to his office. Yes, he still hadn't finished his work. The city was in ruins, at least it was like that a dozen days ago. In the past two days, he had to calculate the time for everything he did by the minute. Fortunately, he now had a new way to travel, which allowed him to move quickly to various destinations and get through these things.

The black horse's hooves pounded on the road, and it even waited for the traffic lights with the cars, attracting the attention of the people around. However, Claude sat on the saddle calmly, waiting for the red light to turn green. Then he urged the horse under his crotch with all his strength and rushed to the place he wanted to go within a few minutes.

The cold wind from the snowfield blew up his cloak, and his shiny fur floated in the air like water. Along with the sound of horses stepping on the ground, he and the cars sped away, and this was when he was controlling his speed.

Many people didn't even react, thinking they were hallucinating. Otherwise, why would such a big shot be waiting for the traffic light? Only two students knew that this was definitely not an illusion. They held books for class in their arms and stared in amazement as Claude left like a gust of wind.

Half a month ago, they all agreed that Claude was a dangerous rebel leader, and a week ago, they thought he was a majestic and powerful general. Now their impression may change a little.

The Rise of the Integration Movement: Chapter 104 Our Glory

What is glory? If Xu Lin was still living in modern times, playing computer and drinking soda all day, he might have two question marks on his head, wondering what he was crazy about. He was living a good life, but suddenly asked what glory was? How could a useless college student like him understand what glory was? After all, he had no parents, and he couldn't find any relatives who cared about him. He only needed one person to feed the whole family, and he lived a life of lying down, eating, and waiting to die.

If you ask him when he was still a child during his first rebirth, he couldn't understand it. Although he was born into a military aristocratic family, he often looked down on the glory that his father always talked about, thinking it was the decadent thoughts of the feudal remnants. Of course, he didn't dare to say it to others. Then, after he went out and saw the world a little, he was severely slapped in the face. The feudal society in his impression was too advanced, and all this was thanks to the emperor.

If you ask the young man who just joined the First Legion, he will tell you a lot of reasons for his enthusiasm. At that time, he thought that his future was bright, and he was eager to pursue glory. He was always looking forward to an opportunity to show his skills, and he had the unique spirit and passion of young people.

What would the majestic, powerful, and always gloomy leader of the legion say? At night, he would always hide the upper half of his face in the shadows, revealing only his sharp chin with a long scar. And he would definitely tell you that glory to him is dignity, and it is to be loved and recognized by the people. It is to protect what they have and not lose it. For them, the soldiers, it is to realize their own life value, and this is his glory.

Glory is something that cannot be seen or touched, but there are always some people in this world who will give everything for their own glory. And for an army, the sense of glory is the most important part of building an army. An army without a sense of glory will always be just mercenaries who work for money and wait for death.

When some people truly have a sense of honor and belonging, and then they are restrained by discipline, tempered by strict training and war, they will become real warriors. Just like quenching red-hot metal in oil, they will be reborn.

The order was transmitted via electromagnetic waves, and the officers began to blow their whistles along the roads of the camp, waking up the sleeping soldiers one by one. The two moons in the sky still shone their cold light on the world, and 2 soldiers had already assembled in the square in the center of the city.

They all wore brand new uniforms, and their armor was polished to a shine. The dark black uniforms of the infantry and gunners were supported by stiff cloth, with red and yellow decorative strips to distinguish their ranks. The uniforms of the crossbowmen were camouflaged, which could help them hide better in the city. The dark black uniforms and iron-gray armor of the Iron Guards made them look like they were made of steel. The shield guards were as heavy as a city wall, and they had short dark red capes on their shoulders as decoration.

The snow monsters were few in number and only occupied a small area in the square formation, but no one would underestimate them. These elite soldiers wore white clothes that were convenient for concealed movement in the snow, and the weapons in their hands were all fine products from military factories. The military judges wore eye-catching red and black armor, symbolizing the harshness and discipline of the army. They monitored the performance of the soldiers in the formation. Wherever they passed, the already serious expressions of all the soldiers would be added with a bit of hardness, making them concentrate all their attention.

Military judges also have other duties. They are responsible for the daily ideological construction of soldiers. Now they are reading out today's tasks loudly and regulating the behavior of soldiers.

The parade ground in the center of the city was once the home of Ursus's powerful army, but today it has a new owner. The moonlight and the ice lights illuminate the soldiers, making their black array of swords, spears, and halberds sparkle with cold light.

The red flag of the Integration Movement was hanging from the building of the City Hall. The huge cloth covered the windows on both sides, and the logo of the Integration Movement was extremely eye-catching. But the soldiers' attention was still focused on the huge balcony of the City Hall. All the soldiers were waiting for orders, waiting for that person's orders.

The solid wood balcony door was slowly pushed open. The sound was so loud that you could hear a pin drop in the air. All the soldiers held their breath. The tall patriot, with his antler-covered head lowered, was the first to come out. Without anyone taking the lead, all the soldiers cheered together, cheering for the strongest warriors and officers among them. The huge sound waves woke up every unlit window in the city.

Soon, the cadres of the Reunion Movement came out one after another, including Tallulah wearing the latest military uniform, the short Faust, Froststar still wearing the Snow Monster Squad uniform, Ino who looked a little timid, and Lyudmila wearing a mask... After them came the higher-ranking officers, and they also filed out of the door one after another.

But no one would occupy the middle position, everyone stood on both sides, and they all knew that today, at this moment, only one person was qualified to stand in that place.

The moment the familiar silk-lined, heavy black fur cloak appeared from the door, the cheers of the soldiers immediately shattered the glass of the surrounding houses. At this moment, even the light of the moon was dimmed, because no one paid attention to it anymore. Everyone's attention was focused on the tall figure.

Everyone was dominated by the fanatical emotions, even the formation began to deform, the soldiers involuntarily moved closer to that man, causing the military judges to shout loudly, and Chernobyl became completely lively in the early morning.

…………

The sleeping students were awakened by the cheering sounds. Natalia sat up with a scream and looked out the window worriedly, but she could only see the bright lights in the city center and had no idea what was going on.

The girl with beautiful eyes quickly picked up her terminal and started asking for news in the class group. She believed that with this commotion, no classmate could still sleep.

The sound of her father and mother being woken up came from the living room. They opened the door and even pushed open the window. Fortunately, because her parents were not the kind of nobles who had committed many evil deeds, the Integration Movement did not do anything to their family after the investigation. It was just that they could no longer have the privileges they had before.

No classmates in the class group knew what was going on. She scratched her white curly hair in distress, and suddenly an idea came to her. She decided to go to the government’s official website to take a look.

"A victory celebration?"

The girl's somewhat doubtful voice sounded in the room.

Rise of the Reunion: Chapter 105: The Eve of the Celebration

The tail with hard scales was hitting the ground, expressing some kind of emotion of its owner. This tail was very slender, with a raised carapace on the back, but it could be seen that it contained terrible power, and every time it hit the ground, it would make a loud noise.

Doctor Gavial of the Adaklis tribe was watching the brightly lit Chernobog with great interest on his plywood in Rhodes Island. It was now 5:30 in the morning, but the city was already bustling with activity. People from the surrounding villages also got up early and rushed to the city by various means of transportation. A huge flow of people was converging on the city, and people formed a long queue at the checkpoint at the entrance to the city.

Originium vehicles and carts pulled by pack animals lined up together, and the infected people and civilians with Originium crystals on their bodies lined up in a loose team and slowly moved forward. There were even some smart vendors who took advantage of this time to sell their goods along the way. People's conversations and hawking, car horns, and the unique smell of livestock on the pack animals mixed together to form a fireworks atmosphere.

It was such an ordinary and simple scene, but many Rhodes Island operators watched it intently. Because this was a miracle in this land. Apart from Rhodes Island, they had never seen such a harmonious coexistence of infected and non-infected people in other places.

In such cold weather, Gavial was wearing a thin outfit, with bare legs and only shorts. However, there was no coldness on her face. The other medical staff members beside her were wearing thick cold-proof clothing, which made her stand out.

"Let's go to the city and see what's going on!"

Gavial suggested excitedly, turning to look at her colleagues, hoping that someone would agree with her. Although the other medical operators had some intention on their faces, they were mostly hesitant, because going out now would definitely violate Rhodes Island's regulations. Dr. Kal'tsit had a deep prestige among the medical operators, and no one dared to go out without her permission.

"Hey, you guys look so scared! Dr. Kal'tsit and I are good friends. I'll go talk to her and ask her to let us out."

Gavial spun his long-handled staff in his hand, then carried it on his shoulder and walked towards Kal'tsit's office in a carefree manner. With such noise, she must be unable to sleep, so this would not be considered disturbing her.

The medical operators who had been hiding far away because of the sound of the staffs spinning through the air also showed hope on their faces. Maybe Gavial could really convince Dr. Kal'tsit? After all, they hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and no one was unmoved.

Gavial's movements were very bold at first, but the closer she got to Dr. Kal'tsit's door, the smaller her steps became. When she really got to the door, she couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought of Dr. Kal'tsit's usual style. But her character meant that she wouldn't hesitate for too long. After a while, she made up her mind and clenched her fist to hit the door to increase her momentum.

The fist swung down, and the door suddenly opened before it hit the panel. It stopped dangerously on the tip of Dr. Kal'tsit's nose at the last moment. At this time, the fearless Gavial felt some cold sweat on his forehead.

………………

"Operator Gavial, why are you at my door at this time?"

There was no expression on Kal'tsit's cold face. She just stared at Gavial and said these words.

"Ha...ha, I just saw that it's very lively outside right now, and I wanted to ask you if we can go out and join in the fun."

Gavial quickly returned to his carefree self, scratching his hair.

But Kal'tsit looked at her with a puzzled look, and only opened the door and spoke when she began to feel at a loss.

"We have received an invitation to attend the celebration ceremony of the Integration Movement today. Didn't I post the message in the group? Didn't you see it?"

"Ah? What time did you send it? I have no idea."

As Gavial spoke, she took out her terminal and started looking through the information on it. Then she looked at Kal'tsit speechlessly.

"Who can receive your message at 3am? I was sleeping soundly at that time!"

"I just received the invitation, and I just put down the surgical instruments." Kal'tsit explained herself and turned around to close the door.

"Great! I'll go inform everyone right away."

Gavial ran away excitedly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The noise of the city was still clearly audible even in the bathroom. He buttoned the last button of his shirt, stood in front of the mirror and looked at his silver-gray hair with a little curl, and eyes of the same color. He took a deep breath, wiped the water stains on his face with a towel, and then put on a hood and mask.

He was wearing a white doctor's coat, a black Rhode Island jacket, sensible leather shoes, and black trousers. After checking his attire and finding nothing inappropriate, the doctor heaved a sigh of relief, and after a moment's hesitation, he hung a stethoscope around his neck.

Not long after arriving in Rhodes Island, he discovered that he seemed to be born with a lot of medical knowledge. It was the kind of knowledge that seemed to pop up automatically when he saw the corresponding symptoms even though his mind was blank. Even Dr. Kal'tsit was very surprised, thinking that he had recovered his previous memories, but it turned out that this was all he knew, and he still couldn't remember anything about the past.

His current job is mainly to manage Rhode Island's financial issues and to overcome various difficult diseases as a member of the medical team. Or it can be said that this is his job, which makes him do it with ease. He has also seen several patients in Chernobyl in the past few days, and he plans to take this opportunity to visit them again to check on their conditions.

He was in a very good mood because what he had seen in the past few days told him that Rhodes Island and the Integration Movement were both very decent organizations, and he was now contributing to a great cause. He also liked his life as a doctor. Although he still couldn't remember anything, he was no longer in a hurry because there were more important and meaningful things for him to do.

The Rise of the Reunion: Chapter 106: The Flag of the Reunion

In the early morning, the sunshine of Ursus brought a touch of warmth to this cold city, and the red flags like flames were planted all over the streets and alleys of the city. The people of Ursus, who had hardly slept since last night, opened their doors and walked out. Then they looked at the flags that had been planted on their doors at some unknown time, and looked at each other in bewilderment.

They did not have any aversion to this, but they did not know what attitude they should adopt towards this new regime. After all, just a month ago, they were still citizens of the empire.

But soon, the sound of footsteps coming from the street made them give way. The soldiers of the Reunion Movement, wearing brand new uniforms without a speck of dust or dirt, marched in neat rows through the streets. Under the command of the sergeant, they marched in unison towards the square in the center of the city in the morning sunshine.

The leading sergeant, whose armor had red parts, glanced at the people around him and nodded to them in a friendly manner, then continued to command his soldiers and rushed to their destination along the road.

The people looked at the soldiers. They were so well-trained. The sunlight shining on them gave them a warm golden color. Their faces were so young that they looked no different from their own children.

………………

"I'll go and see what's going on with them. I couldn't get any information from them yesterday."

A bald middle-aged Ursus man scratched his bearded chin and resolutely followed the team. The others looked at each other hesitantly, not knowing who was leading the way, and they slowly followed.

Looking down at the city from the sky, a steady stream of people began to gather in the central square of the city. They gathered from the streets and alleys, like streams of water, turning into wider rivers until they flowed into the central lake. In the center of the city, more than 30 people had already gathered.

The city had already implemented traffic control, and most civilian vehicles were restricted to their homes and were not allowed to go out. Only military vehicles were patrolling the streets, and soldiers were guiding the public along the correct roads to the huge venue for the celebration. In order to prevent stampedes, as many as 5,000 soldiers were maintaining order in the city, guarding against anyone who wanted to take advantage of the situation or an accident.

It was in this scene that the people of Rhodes Island were picked up by the soldiers of the Reunion Movement in special vehicles. The whole city turned into a sea of ​​jubilation, and even the soldiers who were seeing them off had smiles on their faces that could not be suppressed.

The vehicles moved freely along the way. Soldiers used their bodies to block off passages one by one, allowing vehicles conveying important information or picking up important guests to arrive quickly. This also allowed the members of Rhodes Island to enjoy this magnificent scene.

…………

Outside, gongs and drums were blaring and firecrackers were blasting. At this moment, Claude was scratching his head. He had to coordinate a huge celebration attended by millions of people in the city. There were simply too many things to deal with. From time to time, the huge terminal would have feedback from officers around. All the civilian actors of the Integration Movement, including some newly recruited ones, were pulled here to start coordinating the operation of the city.

Claude had to take charge of all of this. Although he was able to control the situation by relying on the powerful computing and thinking abilities of his brain, these messy things still gave him a headache. This was the first time that Claude, who had been killing all his life, had to deal with such a thing.

"We have discovered a crowd jam at the corner of Griff Street. Soldiers on site are short-handed, so we are requesting support."

"Have the second squad of the fourth squadron of the first company of the third regiment in the next block transferred over there to help evacuate the people."

Claude gave the order without even turning his head. The entire city's military deployment was already in his mind.

"A malicious arson incident was discovered in Huipeng District. The 4nd Company of the th Regiment has gone there to deal with it."

"News came from the First Company of the Third Regiment. They have captured all the rebels causing trouble in the Gray Curtain area. Ask for orders on how to deal with them."

"Lock them all up first, and then interrogate them one by one after this activity is over. Those who have no problems will be released in two days, and those who have problems will be punished more severely."

"Understood, the order has been issued."

"The guards at the city checkpoint sent a message that the number of people moving to Chernobyl is too large and the checkpoint is overloaded."

"Send the 3th Company of the rd Regiment over to assist the guards in the inspection."

…………

Everyone was in a state of high tension, staring intently at their terminal screens. They could issue orders for minor issues themselves, but Claude would make the decision on serious issues. The entire command room was bustling with activity, and soldiers carrying documents were running back and forth in the corridor outside in a hurry.

This is also an unprecedented challenge for the Integration Movement, testing whether they can become a real regime, effectively manage their territory and organize their people. Therefore, every member of the Integration Movement is on high alert, trying their best to do what they can.

The Reunion Movement, a huge machine born for war, now begins to keep the city running in an overloaded state under Claude's will.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The crowd was led by the soldiers into the huge square. However, there were too many people today, so in order to prevent any accidents, they were dispersed and gathered into squares one after another, which was what these soldiers were best at. For the Ursus people, this was even more commonplace. The status of the Ursus army was ridiculously high, so civilians often received military training.

From time to time, lost children or anxious parents would come to the soldiers for help, and the soldiers of the Integration Movement would upload messages to the command center through their headsets, and then look for the lost children or parents who were looking for their children from the custody in the city center.

With the mentality of dealing with war, the integration movement handled this celebration very well, and basically no major troubles occurred. Many soldiers could solve those minor troubles by themselves.

The cadres of the Integration Movement also began to prepare, as they would all be present at the celebration. This made some people who were not good at this or who were more socially anxious feel worried and nervous.

For example, Faust, who was pretending to be calm at this moment, felt extremely nervous when he thought about appearing in front of hundreds of thousands of people later, even though he could wear a mask.

But at the same time he would not back down in the slightest, because this was the day he had dreamed of. When this day finally came, how could he have any reason to back down?

The Rise of the Integration Movement: Leave Request

Today is my friend's birthday, I have to go celebrate, so I'll take another day off. Please forgive me (.n.)

The Rise of the Integration Movement: Chapter 107: The World's Response

The soldiers of the Reunion Movement formed square formations in units of thousands, along the roads that ran through the entire city, passing the city hall. The tough combat boots made of rubber and polymer, inlaid with alloy plates, made a deafening sound when they stepped on the ground. The armor was made of an alloy made of the latest armor formula of the Ursus Army, die-cast in one piece in the factory, with anti-oxidation and other functional coatings on it, showing a crystal black color like obsidian.

Chernobyl was originally a large military factory, where a large number of Ursus army-standard weapons and equipment were stored, and the factory was capable of mass production at any time. Now, thanks to Duke Koschei's clever plan, all the equipment has been put on by the Reunion Movement, so that all the soldiers of the Reunion Movement have been equipped with new equipment from head to toe.

Behind the infantry square was the artillery square composed of various new artillery, whether it was tank guns, field guns, howitzers, all kinds of light and heavy firepower, everything was available. The muzzles of the guns flashed coldly and pointed at the sky, towed by special vehicles. Every component reflected the sun's rays, and it was obvious that they had just been produced from the factory.

The tall iron guards lined up along the road, with one guard standing every 10 meters, but no one around dared to cross them. These dangerous warriors were like sculptures, but they exuded a terrible aura. If anyone dared to do anything wrong, they would be caught on the spot.

Then there are the crossbow phalanxes holding powerful crossbows. Their tactical carrying equipment is loaded with well-designed crossbow arrows with various purposes such as blasting, scattering, and armor-piercing. They wear high-tech concealment clothing that allows them to conceal themselves and inflict damage to the enemy in various areas such as cities, jungles, and deserts.

There were also paratroopers carrying short-range flying vehicles, and phalanxes of drones as dense as a swarm of bees in the sky. They formed the close-range air strike force of the Integration Movement. When various new armored vehicles, ground combat vehicles, command vehicles, and fire support vehicles appeared on the central roads of the city, they immediately caused an uproar. The Integration Movement proved to everyone that they would also arm their soldiers with powerful firepower and technology. They were an organized and programmatic opposition force to the Ursus Empire.

All of this was recorded by journalists from various countries and their teams using cameras. They will release this footage and their own press releases to the world. From today on, every country in the world will know about the Integration Movement and know that there is such a force in powerful Ursus. And those countries that are hostile to Ursus will take their own actions as a result.

These reporters were not specially invited by the Reunion Movement. Claude only asked the intelligence personnel of the Reunion Movement to spread some news in various cities and countries. The professional characteristics of reporters made them flock to Chernobog. Of course, they did not dare to come here from Ursus, so most of them arrived here from the direction of Casimir. Claude specially managed the relationship in Casimir and sent these reporters safely to this city, and he would also send them back safely.

The result was just as he expected. The powerful strength shown by the integration movement made these reporters realize that this was big news, so they all put in their best efforts, pressing the shutter of their cameras quickly and the cameras never stopped for a moment.

After they have met with the top leaders of the integration movement and interviewed them, they will also return as quickly as possible. After all, news is the most timely thing. If they lag behind their peers, then there is no value. Therefore, if a reporter does not act quickly enough, it is difficult for him to become an excellent reporter.
