Luo Ya clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to beat up all the people in front of him one by one. Shuangxing stood beside him, ready to hold him down at any time.

"But we...we have been in the snowfield for so long, we are familiar with the environment here, and we can also exchange food from the surrounding villages, so there is nothing wrong with it."

The person who spoke was the team leader in charge of logistics. Because of the lack of supplies on the snowfield, the Integration Movement would occasionally go to nearby villages to exchange some. However, the flames on Roya's tail suddenly jumped up, scaring him so much that he stammered.

"Is there anything wrong with that? We only have two meals a day, and each meal is barely enough to fill us up. Sometimes our soldiers even have to eat weeds and tree bark. You are the logistics team leader, so you won't starve. But if the number of members of the integration movement increases to 2,000 or even 3,000 or 4,000 in the future, how many villages will you have to find so much food for me? Huh!?"

The weia belonging to Draco was mixed with the coldness of the Sarkaz of Salus, and coupled with Roya's control over the emotion of fear, the logistics team leader couldn't even raise his head.

Seeing their good brother being so embarrassed by Luo Ya's words, the other leaders certainly could not admit defeat. The leader of one combat team was not convinced.

"Don't scare us here. With Tallulah and the Patriots here, we are invincible on the snowy plains. We are not afraid even if the Ursus army comes."

Luo Ya didn't do anything. He was actually very self-restrained. He just sneered at the other person with his colorless eyes, half angry and half sarcastic.

"Then I really hope that you won't be so scared when facing Ursus's high-speed warships that you can't even run. Do you know what an army is? Are you here bragging and making irresponsible remarks without knowing how high the sky is and how deep the earth is? Or do you think you can defeat an army by yourself?"

"I can't, but we have Mr. Patriot and Tallulah!"

It was the same sentence again. Luo Ya's ears were callused from hearing it. It was not difficult to see his anger from the fact that the snow dozens of meters around him had melted. If it weren't for Frost Star who was responsible for balancing the temperature, everyone would have been unable to bear the heat.

"Tallulah the Patriot, Tallulah the Patriot, all day long. Without them, would you not even know how to eat?"

Watching the ongoing argument over there, Tallulah wanted to step forward to mediate immediately. She was worried that Roya would be as violent as he was that day and fight with the Patriot directly. However, she stopped after feeling Roya's flames.

Roya's flames looked scary, but he was as peaceful as ever inside, which meant that he was not angry at all, but was just pretending to be angry.

But why? Why did Roya want to argue with these people instead of letting Tallulah come forward? She knew that if she were to talk about this matter, even if everyone didn't quite understand and were dissatisfied, they would agree in the end.

But what about Luo Ya? He had only been in the Integration Movement for less than three days, and he didn't know anyone here. He couldn't have failed to understand that if he showed such a strong attitude, he would offend people.

As if sensing Tallulah's approach, Roya used his tail to signal her not to come any closer, which made Tallulah even more confused about his thoughts.

"Roya, what are you doing?"

Chapter 107 Luo Ya's Decision (7k words)

Tallulah, Froststar, Patriot and his guerrilla shield guards, in Roya's opinion, these talents are the few who can be called combat power in the integration movement. As for the rest? Roya really doesn't understand why they think they can compete with the regular army of Ursus. It's not like he hasn't seen how these people train. The old man practicing Tai Chi in the square is more skilled than them.

After thinking for a while, Roya understood what was going on. He could only say that Tallulah and the Patriots protected these people too well. In a place like the snowfield, Ursus could only send a few patrol teams. How could an enemy of that level be a match for a Draco and a Wendigo?

These people only need to follow Tallulah, Patriot and others to reap the joy of victory. It is like always playing in low-end games and having the help of players in the king game. They have never lost, so they feel that they are also masters.

Therefore, they think that living in the ice field is not bad, because they can eat well and will not freeze. As for the infected people in other places? They don't care, they can't see them, because if they can't see them, they will treat them as if they don't exist and feel that it has nothing to do with them.

Roya did not object to the idea of ​​living an honest life, nor did he find it strange. On the contrary, he understood the ideas of these people. However, this was not the original intention of Tallulah to create the Integration Movement, and it could even be said that it was far from it.

Roya knew that such an idea was wrong, so the first thing he had to do was to break the group's dependence on Tallulah and the Patriots, and let them know that the snowfield was not an absolutely safe shelter. Didn't the Ursus army know the skills of fighting in the snowfield? It was just because of some reasons that Roya didn't know, that Ursus had never taken the integration movement seriously until now.

"I beg you to use your brains. The Reunion Movement, including the children, has only a few thousand people. Do you think you can fight against the Ursus army?"

Draco's aura combined with Roya's ability to manipulate fear was indeed very useful. Several team leaders were speechless at his words. They looked at the Patriot, as if that huge body was as heavy as a mountain and could give them a sense of security.

They were not ashamed of not being able to gain any advantage verbally, but just felt very unwilling. Their original rejection and resistance to Roya became even deeper, so they looked at the Patriot and another snow monster princess, Froststar, hoping that these two people with great prestige in the integration movement would stand on their side. In the past, this Patriot even dared to reprimand Tallulah.

But neither the Patriot nor the Snow Monster Princess Froststar made any suggestions to Roya. They just looked at the people in front of them silently. Some of them sensed a kind of disappointment in their eyes, which meant that the Patriot and Froststar would not favor them. This made them even more dissatisfied with Roya. This person was simply reckless and did not take them, the infected, seriously. He must not be a good person!

After all, they had been living comfortably for too long under Tallulah's protection and gradually forgot how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. Several team leaders looked at each other and regained some courage.

"We have been in the snowfield for so many years. Do you think the army will come just because you say so? I think you are a spy sent by Ursus!"

Since they couldn't find any words to refute, they simply accused the other party of a crime that they didn't have, and then continued to attack this aspect to make themselves appear righteous and great. Several team leaders consciously

After the words fell, Patriot's breathing became heavier, and his eyes under the mask showed dissatisfaction and disappointment, but he looked at the team leaders. As for Roya? He knew that Roya's identity was problematic, but the suggestions Roya made were not unreliable. Patriot just needed to consider the risks more carefully. He also agreed with some of Roya's views.

Frost Star's brows also furrowed slightly, and just as she was about to say something, Roya's tail wrapped around her thigh and poked her lightly, signaling her not to talk.

…………

After finishing all these, Luo Ya looked at the five people in front of him with a half-smile on his face. They were the logistics team leader, the medical team leader, the captains of the two combat teams, and an educator whose job was unknown. It was said that he was in charge of teaching literacy and arithmetic in the camp. The illiteracy rate in the integration movement was very high, and Alina had complained about this a lot, so she wanted to help teach those children to read.

These people all came from different villages. It can even be said that they had followed Tallulah before the establishment of the Reunion Movement. Later, they were assigned to these positions after the establishment of the Reunion Movement. Maybe they did a really good job at the beginning, but now they have become a stumbling block in the development of the Reunion Movement. If Tallulah wants to truly realize her ideal, the pace of the Reunion Movement must not be constrained in this way.

"You guys said I was a spy sent by Ursus, so I can suspect that you are all spies sent by Ursus, otherwise how could you know my true identity?"

As he spoke, Luo Ya pulled his tail away from Shuangxing's thigh, thinking that his tail was almost frozen. Shuangxing's problem had to be solved as soon as possible.

The people assigned to be educators seemed to have clearer minds. They noticed that Frost Star and Patriot didn't like their behavior of directly framing others, so they quickly signaled their companions to shut up. However, they couldn't raise their heads after being told by Luo Ya. Now that they finally had room to fight back, how could they give up so easily? The logistics team leader who had just been confronted continued to ask.

"Your origins are unknown, and you're in conflict with Mr. Patriot. I think you have evil intentions!"

"Yes, I have an unknown background and ill intentions. You are absolutely right."

After repeating the other person's words perfunctorily, Luo Ya changed his tone in the next second and became furious.

"So you are innocent for withholding food from the soldiers and children!?"

Luo Ya's question left the logistics team leader speechless. He didn't understand how Luo Ya knew about this. The mocking smile on Luo Ya's face made him dare not confront him with his eyes.

"Why, can't you find anything else to say except to accuse me of something I didn't commit?"

"You are wondering how I know this, because I went to tell stories to those children yesterday morning and asked them about their meals these days. Some children told me that they haven't had enough to eat for several days and only eat meat once every three days. But I remember that the rules of the integration movement say that food should be given priority to children, women and the elderly."

The flame at the tip of the tail turned black and crawled onto the table, making everyone feel nervous. Patriot and Froststar were ready to hold Roya down at any time to prevent him from getting serious, but Roya knew his limits and was simply expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Before winter, the Reunion Movement should have exchanged supplies with the surrounding areas. My sister also bought a lot when she went to gather intelligence. So I went to check the warehouse this morning and found that many things did not match the expenditure, especially food. There was not enough cotton wool for cotton clothes. Don't you guys want to explain it?"

When he said the last sentence, Luo Ya's teeth flew with a few sparks. He called these people here not only to break their dependence on the strong, but also to get to the bottom of this matter.

In a remote and scarce place like the Icefield, the purchasing power of money is far less than that of barter. But there was not enough food to begin with, and the winter was long without any way to replenish supplies. These guys even withheld the food of the soldiers and children. When Luo Ya knew about this, he wanted to beat them all up.

If this is placed in the deep pool, it would be equivalent to embezzling the army's supplies and equipment. No, Luo Ya would directly call the midnight ring to express his condolences in person.

"You even dare to deduct food from children. Are you still human?"

In the past, the withholding of supplies by Rick had not been discovered because no one cared. This was a snowy area and it was common to not have enough to eat. Sometimes, in order to ensure that they could survive the winter, they would endure the hardship at the beginning of winter before enjoying the sweetness of the season. Moreover, the amount of supplies taken each time was not much, and at most it would only cause everyone to miss one good meal. No one cared about this at all.

But this time these guys were exposed. They greedily wanted too much. They were cautious at the beginning, but gradually became bolder, which was a typical thief's mentality.

"You...you have no evidence, you are slandering us!"

A few people wanted to argue, but they were already panicking. They did hide a batch of supplies and wanted to find an excuse that the winter was long and the supplies were not enough, but they didn't expect Luo Ya to find out.

However, they believed that as long as they gritted their teeth and said they would not admit anything, then Luoya would not be able to do anything to them. As for the issue of income and expenditure? Anyway, they could find various excuses to refuse. They had already thought about what would happen if they were discovered.

"Then tell me, why did I slander you?"

Roya gradually returned to the calm attitude that Tallulah was familiar with, but what he said was enough to make Tallulah feel incredible, because these five people were the positions she personally arranged when the Reunion Movement was founded. They had done very well before, so how could they do such a thing? !

Tallulah was really glad that she didn't show up. She approved of what Roya did, but she didn't know how to face her old friends. They had clearly agreed to form an integration movement to save everyone from having to live that kind of life, but why... why did these honest people become like this?

An indescribable disappointment spread in Tallulah's heart, forcing her to look up at the good comrades who once followed her, with only anger in her eyes.

"We...I...Mr. Patriot."

Several people subconsciously looked at the spear in the Patriot's hand. They knew that the Patriot came from the army and always advocated strict military discipline. He would never defend such violations of military discipline. Someone once defected from the Integration Movement and was killed by him personally.

"You have betrayed Tallulah's trust."

The Patriot did not directly announce the trial of these people. When Roya first said he wanted to hold a meeting, he wondered why Tallulah was not there. Now it seems that Roya did it on purpose.

Several people lowered their heads in shame. They knew that this was an betrayal of Tallulah's trust, and they could only be thankful that Tallulah was not here.

"Mr. Patriot, we did make mistakes, but... we will make up for it. Please don't tell Leader Tallulah, but this guy is here to break up our Reunion Movement. We have no place to stay in Casimir!"

Seeing the shame in these people's eyes, the unwillingness on their faces, and their hatred for Roya, the Patriot wanted to say something, but Tallulah's angry shout made everyone except Roya tremble in their hearts.

"At this point, are you still trying to justify your own mistakes and slander the innocence of others?!"

Tallulah walked towards them step by step, stepping on the flames and holding a sword. Her aura was even higher than Roya's. She made several people breathless and even the air they breathed in felt like it was burning. When they saw Tallulah coming, they were so scared that they almost collapsed to the ground. They finally realized what kind of pressure the Ursus Patrol Team faced when facing Tallulah.

"Tallulah!"

Realizing that Tallulah was getting angry, the Patriot walked in front of her to block her way, while Froststar continued to watch Roja to prevent him from being irrational as well.

Normally it should be Tallulah who stopped the Patriots. After all, compared to the Patriots who attached great importance to discipline and were extremely strict, Tallulah was more soft-hearted towards her own people. She could even understand those who betrayed the Reunion Movement. But this time she was so angry that even the Patriots had to stop her.

(This is the same as before, the extreme emotional fluctuations have caused the self's personality to change, so... Kosice wants to use this method to make Tallulah degenerate into a tyrant?)

Realizing this, Roya walked over to Tallulah, patted her shoulder, and signaled her to calm down.

"Sis, calm down. Let me see what else they can say."

Roya didn't want Tallulah to show up because it would affect her trust and shake her beliefs. Tallulah didn't love murder and scheming, nor did she cling to power and status because these would make her fall further into the abyss.

But this means that someone needs to do some less glorious things for her. Roya doesn't mind returning to his old job, but he needs to break Tallulah's beautiful imagination of the integration movement. She needs to pay attention to those things that she can ignore.

"Okay, let them talk. If they don't explain clearly, I will come to judge them personally!"

Tallulah's flames gradually died down, but the anger in her eyes did not diminish at all. Roya's words made her feel a little better. She no longer wanted to think about Roya's background or what he wanted to do. At least now he was fulfilling his promise from last night.

The gray eyes of the dragon girl frightened the team leaders. They cursed Roya for meddling in their affairs. What kind of magic potion did this guy of unknown origin give to Tallulah to make her favor him like this?

It's not that they can't see that Roya is Tallulah's brother, but so what? They look down on Roya from the bottom of their hearts and reject him as a normal person. They already have a lot of resentment, and they can't help but curse him.

"Because you are not infected! You only joined the Reunion because of your relationship with Leader Tallulah. You have no right to tell us what to do!"

The logistics team leader was furious because he couldn't find any reason to refute Luo Ya, but he didn't dare to admit his crime. But in fact, he was very jealous of Luo Ya's health and jealous that he didn't need to be tortured to death by mineral disease.

"You don't understand our pain at all. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to have a stone in your body? Do you know how painful it is when we are sick? "

Things became a little unexpected. Of course, Luo Ya meant that the thickness of this group of people's faces had become a little beyond his expectations. Originally, he just wanted to warn these people, but he didn't expect them to lead the topic further and further off track and even put a accusation on him. So there was no need for him to save face for them.

Seeing that Luo Ya seemed speechless, the logistics team leader wanted to continue speaking, but for some reason he couldn't open his mouth.

"So, does this have anything to do with what I said at the beginning?"

In his heart, he instructed the people in front of him to shut up, and Roya casually patted the table with his tail.

"What I said at the beginning was that the Integration Movement had to move from the Snowfield to Casimir's territory, which would take at least half a month, so I came to discuss it with you. What was your response?

"A medical team leader, a veterinarian who can't even wrap a bandage skillfully, told me that there was a shortage of medicines and many wounded. So, is there a ghost lying on your empty bed?"

As Luo Ya spoke, he stood up and walked over to the five people, gently placing his hands on their shoulders. He didn't look like someone who had only been in the integration movement for a few days.

"An educator told me that it's hard to act because there are too many old and young people. The total number of elderly and children in the integration movement is less than 30. Do you think it's a lot? You should be replaced by Alina as the educator. You can't even remember the names of those children!

"The two captains don't think about training themselves and their soldiers to improve their combat effectiveness. All they know all day long is that Patriot and Tallulah are invincible. Do you believe that the three of them plus the shield guards can't beat me?!"

Of course, everyone did not believe the last sentence, but Luo Ya's aura was so strong that they dared not move, and some of them even subconsciously believed what Luo Ya said.

"Finally, it's you, the logistics team leader. The supplies are insufficient, right? Then do you want to explain who got the money?"

The flame jumped from Roya's shoulder to the eyes of several people, circled around and came back, not even burning a hair on their body, but making them sweat coldly. Frost Star and Patriot were also very nervous, almost thinking that Roya was really going to take action. Although these people were all wrong, they were not going to die. Roya's actions seemed a bit extreme to Patriot, who always advocated strict military discipline.

"I finally understand that you are all a bunch of cowards, complete cowards, who are just relying on the power of others to bully others.

"You call yourself warriors, but you only dare to hide behind Tallulah and the Patriots and shout empty slogans, relying on their strength and being comfortable with your current life; you say you are not afraid of the Ursus army, and you keep saying that you want to save other infected compatriots, but you are not even willing to walk out of this ice field to find other people in need of help."

The more Roya spoke, the more excited he became. With a wave of his hand, the sword given by Abrana appeared in his hand and he inserted it directly into the stone table. The slightly broken sword was particularly sharp under the sunlight, accompanied by Roya's heart-stirring words.

“You don’t even have the courage to stand in front of me, and you dare to say that you can fight against the army of Ursus?

"Did you join the Integration Movement to prevent more people from suffering the same pain as you did, or did you simply want to find someone to back you up so you can rest easy?!"

If Luo Ya relied on his own strength, he could indeed save a lot of steps and directly let these people admit their inner thoughts. However, what Luo Ya wanted was not their confession, but for them to recognize their own problems and correct them. He felt that this was mostly the truth he remembered in prison, but there was nothing wrong with it. Isn't this how people should be?

Looking at the guilt and unwillingness in these people's eyes, Roya knew what they were thinking. They felt that he was teaching them a lesson as "Tallulah's younger brother" and a non-orite disease patient. They refused to accept it because they did not think Roya could understand their difficulties since he was not infected.

In the eyes of many people, people cannot empathize with each other if they are not in the same environment. So in their view, normal people’s scolding of infected people becomes a form of discrimination and prejudice, even if the scolding is correct.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, listening to the countdown in his mind continuing to decrease. Luo Ya felt that the oripathy was really not a problem worthy of concern to him, but since these people cared so much, he might as well do something extreme. Well, Frost Star's oripathy seemed to be very serious.

Luo Ya turned around and poked the cold white rabbit beside him. Frost Star and Patriot had just chosen to watch, which was the greatest support for Luo Ya, so he asked directly without hesitation.

"You are all infected, Froststar. Is your infection serious?"

"That's it."

Shuangxing replied indifferently, feeling cold in her heart. Roya's words not only made the people in front of her reflect, but also made her and the Patriots ask themselves why they joined the Integration Movement in the first place. Is it really good to stay in the snowfield and be timid? The infected are not only here.

"Is it painful when the mineral sickness attacks?"

Even though he couldn't see Frost Star's eyes, Luo Ya estimated that he had received a beautiful roll of the eyes from the other party. It was unnecessary to ask such obvious nonsense.

"Of course it hurts. Originopathy will gradually assimilate a person's body into hard Originium. Sharp Originium will grow out of our bodies and form crystals on the surface of the body. More serious cases will be like me, where most of the inside is assimilated by the crystals, causing the body to have abnormal reactions. Even ordinary hot drinks are like boiling hot soup to me."

Frost Star didn't actually roll her eyes at Roya. She just told him about these painful experiences indifferently, as if they were not worth mentioning. But Roya knew how painful it was just by listening. He had seen many infected people getting sick when he was in the Longmen slums before, but seeing and understanding are different.

"May I see it?"

As Roya said this, even though he didn't know what he was going to do, Froststar still took off his gloves and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the black Originium crystals on his arms.
