About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

The inner guard fell to the ground, and Orson also knelt on the ground, trying to stabilize his left arm that had just been broken in blocking the attack, while gasping for breath to calm his heartbeat.

"Ha...ha, Curtain Call is indeed very powerful as a first kill."

After a short rest, Orson walked to Froststar, wrapped a bandage around Froststar's broken bones, and then applied hardening agent to serve as a temporary plaster.

"It might be a little painful, just bear with it."

"Why would you..."

As soon as Orson lifted up Frost Star, they both suddenly felt a chill almost at the same time.

"Those who betray us must be eliminated—"

The inner guard whose head was pierced by the dagger climbed up from the ground, pulled out the dagger, and ran towards the two of them in an extremely strange posture.

——Damn it, I can’t avoid it…!

Frost Star, unable to control his body, could only watch the enemy rush towards him.

Phew!

The dagger pierced Orson's right hand, and almost half of the blade was inserted into Orson's throat.

Because Frost Star was unable to dodge the attack, Orson took the initiative to forcibly take the attack from the inner guard.

"Orson...!?"

"You're alright...that's all..."

A broken voice came out intermittently with the sound of blood splattering, and this was the last sentence Orson was able to "say".

After that, the guerrillas led by the Patriots arrived and successfully repelled the remaining troops inside the mine, even killing an internal guard, successfully suppressing this operation that almost ended in complete failure.

Orson almost destroyed half the army single-handedly before rushing into the heavily blocked mine in the first place.

This battle was later referred to as the "Battle of Silence" within the Integration Movement.

Talulah was originally very suspicious about why there were two internal guards near Duke Baikal's mine, but because of the injuries of Orson and Frost Star, she had to put this confusion aside and move to a safe place in the north to slowly heal.

Orson's injuries were extremely serious. If Frost Star had not used his last bit of strength to freeze some of the bleeding blood vessels, Orson would probably not have survived until the troops arrived again.

In the end, Orson was once again saved by Ino using his Originium skills, but this time Orson also paid a heavy price -

He spent the next five days under intense care from Ino. Whenever Tallulah and the others visited Orson, they would often see him trying to push Ino, a man with a terrified look on his face, off the bed, with loving eyes.

After recovering, Orson didn't speak for about three days, and when he spoke again, he was already familiar with how to use the virtual vocal cords.

As for Frost Star, after that incident, she also learned a skill.

"..."

On the battlefield where the Army and the Reunion Movement were approaching the Che City Wasteland, Orson looked at Frost Star and opened his mouth but no sound came out.

but--

"[Rabbit Plan], start execution in 5 seconds!"

Froststar shouted, informing the warriors of Orson's message.

That's right, Froststar learned how to read Orson's lips.

You lost your voice for me, at least let me be your existence that can understand silence.

61. Can you kill me in seconds? You, an old man and a mute, can kill me in seconds?

"What's going on with that [Rabbit Project]? And why did the turret suddenly explode? What's that little imp that suddenly appeared? The Warlock Unit, where are the Warlock Units? Suppress these guys with firepower!"

In the command room, Viscount Kerk yelled and questioned the soldiers around him, but the others also had confused expressions as if they didn't understand the situation.

The large-caliber artillery that was scheduled to be activated did not fire as normal, but exploded on its own. This unexpected turn of events left everyone confused for a moment.

"Try to suppress it... No, I don't know what's going on. The staff isn't responding at all!" "The interior of the turret suddenly lost contact!" "The crossbowmen's Originium-assisted reloading skills suddenly failed, and now they can only use the winder to slowly reload!"

After Orson used [Curtain Call], the branch of the Ursus Army instantly fell into chaos. After all, using Originium skills as an amplification has become the most basic combat instinct of these soldiers.

For example, crossbowmen use Originium techniques to enhance their ability to reload. Otherwise, people can only place the crossbow on the ground and step on it to restring it, which is extremely inefficient.

Unlike the chaotic army, the integration movement led by the Patriots was not affected at all. The pure-blooded Wendigo carried the shield and broke through the chaotic defense line in one breath. The shield guards followed closely and pulled and tore a hole at the "point" where the Patriots broke through.

"Attack, the attack is too strong!? This is completely different from the intensity of the previous rounds of impact!" "They were just waiting for this opportunity, and before that they were just paralyzing us!"

The soldiers in the front row were scattered by the sudden all-out attack of the Reunion Movement.

"Damn it... Damn it, don't panic! Don't worry about why the Originium technique is temporarily ineffective. Everyone, just abandon unnecessary defensive postures and focus on hand-to-hand combat. Those guys definitely can't use Originium techniques!"

Kirk in the tent gritted his teeth and shouted orders.

The soldiers had just put away their staffs and crossbows when the snow monster team led by Froststar suddenly launched an attack.

"It's now--!"

Froststar shouted and waved his staff, and the Originium skill was born from his body. The Originium crystal weapons carried by the surrounding snow monster teams acted as a catalyst, instantly freezing most of the enemies in front of him.

At the same time, the warlock crossbowmen behind the Reunion Movement also launched a dense barrage of attacks.

"Wu!? Have you recovered? Originium Technique, if that's the case, use it now!"

Kirk roared through gritted teeth.

“No…it hasn’t recovered!? But the opponent’s Originium attack has also stopped again…!?”

The warlocks around him were completely confused, and no one could understand what was happening.

"Forget about Originium techniques—someone stop those monsters! Vice Captain, we can't stop [that thing]!"

Several soldiers in the front were reporting the situation on the front line to Kirk in a panic. At this time, the Patriot was leading the integration movement to continuously cross the front line like a spear.

At the same time, [Silence of the North] was also constantly tearing apart the formation inside the army group.

"That guy is alone, what kind of waves can he make?"

"I...I don't know how to describe it. His movements don't seem normal!"

The soldier who delivered the information looked panicked.

While Kirk was talking to the scout, Orson continued to move in the army's encirclement, which was still some distance away from the headquarters.

"Aim at that guy—damn, his moves... Pfft!?"

One soldier tried to aim a crossbow at Orson, but before he could even put the crosshairs on him, Orson was already in front of him and punched him in the gut.

The soldier, like a comma, sent several people flying around him. Orson grabbed the crossbow bolt mid-air and pulled the trigger, piercing the arm of the soldier running towards him. The soldier screamed and let go of his hand. Orson immediately took the opportunity to snatch the machete from his hand and used the back of the blade to hammer over the three soldiers surrounding him.

The moment the machete shattered under the weight, Orson canceled [Curtain Call] and instantly controlled Pause to snatch the two knives from the ground and held them in his hands again.

In the eyes of others, the black-haired young man in front of them was like a horror story in a story told to children.

Blood continued to seep out of his throat, and his hands were covered with a layer of black vein-like lines. He had no idea how many weapons he had grabbed in his hands, and he kept tearing them apart.

"Damn it, the heavy tank is here! Defend yourself and block that guy!"

Kerke forced the heavy armored soldiers on the front line to turn around and deal with Orson, but these soldiers lost the buff of the Originium skill, and were smashed to pieces by a punch. The shield was snatched away by Orson and he used it to force his way out.

Not only that, the Integration Movement used Originium techniques several more times to effectively attack the army group.

“Damn it, damn it… Why can these people use Originium techniques!? Forget it, crossbowmen, crossbowmen! Attack!”

Kerk ordered the crossbowmen to aim at the Yeti squad, but while these people were still stringing their crossbows, a pitch-black spear came crashing down from mid-air.

boom--! ! !

The Patriot single-handedly used his javelin to interrupt the crossbow squad's attack, and the Snow Monster squad took this opportunity to join forces with the Reunion Warlocks to forcibly kill the army's crossbowmen.

"Assholes, assholes...! They're just a bunch of low-lifes and old bastards, and there's some damned Silence, why did they get beaten like this? Everyone, don't worry about the formation, just kill that Silent and the Patriot! Just kill those two!"

Kirk yelled hysterically, and his orders that lacked any strategy finally angered the soldiers.

"Abandoning the formation will only allow the enemy to tear our troops apart faster, Vice Captain!"

"Deputy Captain, you haven't participated in many battles. This order is definitely wrong—"

"Why should we go to war with this group of people? The intelligence team said that Qicheng has allowed these people's actions?"

The voices of the soldiers continued to reach Viscount Kirk's ears, and finally, he roared and overturned the table in front of him.

"That's why! Che City has been betrayed. Those traitors want to rebel against Ursus. Damn it, do you want to rebel too?"

"..."

The soldiers frowned, but did not dare to refute the deputy commander.

The original commander of the Third Army branch was not Viscount Kerk, but a lieutenant with rich combat experience. However, the original commander suddenly "died in a civil war", followed by Viscount Kerk's airborne landing.

Although Ursus is an extremely warlike country, its internal military system is extremely corrupt. Generals who are brave and truly serve the people of the country are usually purged and impeached. It is not uncommon for generals like Patriot and Hellagur to be persecuted.

Even so, the soldiers still did not dare to resist these old nobles, because once they were identified as "traitors", not only would they be sent to the gallows, but their families would also be implicated.

"...Please at least retreat, Viscount Kirk. The front line is very close to here. It may be dangerous here."

"It's dangerous! There are so many soldiers ahead. Don't tell me you can't handle those guys!"

Kirk yelled.

Meanwhile, the battle line—

"We're almost there, and most of the soldiers are temporarily pinned down, Dad!"

Froststar checked the situation on the battlefield, then looked at the Patriot.

"Well, it's time—Orson."

The Patriot nodded, then rushed straight towards Orson who was not far away.

"Protocol Three, Orson."

The Patriot's low voice came out, and Orson widened his eyes when he heard these words. After hesitating for a second, he immediately shook his head frantically.

"...!!??"

There was no point shaking his head or waving his hands. Orson, who was unable to speak, was picked up by the Patriot with a terrified look on his face. After roughly determining the direction and height, he was thrown out directly.

"...Ahem, Patriot Senior, you're just seeking personal revenge!"

Orson turned into a meteor, put away [Curtain Call] and screamed in the air, and soon arrived at his destination - the command room where Kirk was.

"Could that guy possibly fly directly over here—"

boom! !

Before Kirk could finish his words, a pitch-black object penetrated the tent and landed in front of Kirk.

"——!?"

"Hi, nice to meet you."

Orson came out of the pause and greeted Kirk.

I heard from my seniors that if you don’t offer a bounty during the book launch period, all the readers will leave and you won’t be able to offer it even if you want to.

In that case, I'll try offering a reward!

100 blades plus one more

11000 reward plus one more chapter

The time is set until this Friday, and then I will count the blade rewards from yesterday every day.

That's it, I hope to get more and more updates! Thank you in advance for your support

(Actually, there are a lot of main story chapters recently, so I’m trying to finish them as soon as possible...)

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

62. Tachiko's Railgun

In the villa within the Duke Baikal's territory, Duke Baikal, the instigator of all the chaos, was sitting on a luxurious chair, holding a wine glass, chatting with the person in the shadows in front of him.
