Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

The voice of the internal security guard seemed like a whisper coming from a bottomless cave. Even though it was very soft, it echoed throughout the office like a nightmare.

"Humph..."

Prince Baikal snorted.

It was obvious that this expression was also for the internal security to see.

After all, the Internal Security Bureau had said twenty days ago that they would cut off the head of the leader of the infected organization and hand it to him personally. However, twenty days have passed and there has been no movement at all.

"As your men said, this infected group is not a simple organization. There are pure-blooded Wendigos among the troops..."

"You shouldn't be able to guess who it is..."

Neiwei explained.

When Grand Duke Baikal heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

In the past, there were still quite a few Wendigo populations that migrated from Kazdel to Ursus, but most of these Wendigos had already died in the process of fighting against the northern evil demons and expansion, and most of them didn't even have names.

But there was only one exception.

He is known as the most steadfast incarnation of Ursus and the indestructible wall of Ursus. He once led his troops to smash Casimir's Silver Spear Pegasus and the Papal Knights of Lateran. He is a truly immortal legend.

His military achievements were enough to get him promoted to general and marshal, but in the end he was still just a small lieutenant. As for the reason, everyone understood it, including himself.

Decades ago, this Wendigo disappeared inexplicably. After so many years, many nobles in Ursus thought he was dead.

did not expect!

Still alive.

And he also stood in the camp hostile to Ursus.

"He actually betrayed the honor and dignity of Ursus! Traitor! Betrayer!!"

Duke Baikal couldn't help cursing.

"Also, we have found the camp of this infected army. We will take action and slaughter them all for the Duke. When that time comes, we hope that the Duke will not forget his cooperation with us..."

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Baikal immediately nodded: "Of course."

"Besides, we all just want to restore Ursus' glory. There's no right or wrong, just different methods."

............

Above the northern ice sheet.

The infected team of the Reunion Movement, the snow monster team of Frost Star, and some of the Patriots' shield guards were sitting on the ground, eating potatoes to restore their strength and resting.

"According to this time, almost all of our compatriots should have arrived at Camp One under the escort of the Shield Guards."

Tallulah said as she analyzed the map of the snowfield.

These days, they raided a total of four mines, including three small mines, one medium-sized mine, and one large mine.

The Daxin mine was delayed for a longer time because there were too many guards in it, waiting for the arrival of the group garrison. Otherwise, under the leadership of the patriots, the integration movement might have been able to wipe out these defenders of the large mine.

The remaining three small mines and one medium-sized mine rescued a total of about 5,000 infected miners, of which more than 3,500 were willing to follow the Integration Movement. As for the remaining more than 1,500, Talulah respected their ideas, gave each of them two compressed biscuits, pointed out the direction of exit, and let them leave.

These 3,500 people were escorted to Camp No. 1 by a temporary escort team composed of shield guards and infected teams.

According to the plan that everyone discussed a few days ago, in order to ensure the loyalty of the organization's compatriots and the confidentiality of the main camp.

Those infected fellows who have not yet joined the Integration Movement, or have just joined the Integration Movement, will temporarily live in Camp No. 1.

Afterwards, they are divided into combat personnel and logistics personnel based on their willingness, physical fitness, and magic talent.

Logistics personnel live in the safer main camp, while combat personnel live in the more convenient Camp No. 1.

This can also ensure the safety of logistics personnel who have little combat capability and ensure logistical support.

At this time, in the integration movement team, ten days of continuous running around did not make these compatriots who had just become combatants tired or bored, but made them more excited.

While sitting on the snow to rest, they ate potatoes and chatted happily.

"Damn it! We fooled these Ursus soldiers around, and they still call themselves soldiers. What a coward!"

The miner, whose family had been killed by Ursus soldiers, laughed mockingly.

"I only regret that I didn't kill too many!"

"I want to kill these bastard officers! They have no skills at all and only rely on their ancestors' connections to sit in this position. Mr. Patriot is obviously more qualified to be at the top position! These garbage nobles should all be killed!"

The confrontation with the Ursus army, making them run around in circles, and rescuing other infected compatriots filled their hearts with a sense of honor and passion.

As for the horror of death, it is not that intense.

After all, a large number of these infected compatriots have experienced the purgatory-like mines and experienced a life worse than death. For them, when their blood is ignited and their lives have become more meaningful, the previous compromises and oppression will only turn into the driving force that pushes them forward.

Patriots know this well.

This kind of mentality will make them good soldiers and a strong army, but if they are not controlled, restrained and guided, they may even be deliberately led in a bad direction.

Then this kind of mentality will turn them into demons who only know how to kill.

"Almost, it's time to set off."

The patriot calculated the time in his mind and then stood up.

Seeing the Patriot stand up, all the shield guards, snow monster team, and infected team around him stood up immediately, highlighting their high quality.

Just at this time.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky.

The patriot turned his head suddenly, and an unusual atmosphere and sense of oppression suddenly spread.

"Senior Patriot?"

Talulah was the first to notice the Patriot's abnormality. She looked at the Patriot with confusion. The Patriot was tense and in a state of complete combat.

When everyone present followed the patriot's gaze to one side.

Above the vast expanse of white snow ahead, a black figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight like a ghost.

He wore a pitch-black coat, a strange yet ferocious head device, and his entire body was covered with various metal tubes.

The 'person' wrapped in a black coat stood silently in the distance.

Flakes of snow fluttered down on it, but as they approached, they instantly turned into dark mud, decadent and rotten, falling to the ground and turning into the most dilapidated shape. The snow on the ground also melted under its trampling and turned into black mud.

The sky seemed to darken completely with its appearance.

The deep-seated fear in the hearts of everyone present reached its peak with the appearance of this 'person'. It wasn't because it looked so scary, but just by looking at it, the most extreme fear inexplicably rose in their hearts.

Just like a rabbit in the field seeing a tiger slowly approaching, the fear buried in its genetic instinct cannot be suppressed.

"Shield Guard!! Shield Up!!"

The Patriot didn't expect this thing to appear, and he gave orders immediately.

The group of shield guards following the Patriots also felt their scalps tingling at this moment. Ordinary people didn't know, so how could they not know what was in front of them?

'The Emperor's Blade'.

They never expected it.

Why does 'Emperor's Blade' appear here?

The atmosphere of fear spread among the crowd. The shield guards immediately raised their shields, turning into a high wall between the infected soldiers and the inner guards, trying their best to give them some sense of security, even though the shield guards were also a little afraid in their hearts.

"Don't be afraid, infected brothers. The more afraid you are, and the more people fear this thing, the stronger it will become. Similarly, when your fear reaches its peak, you will die and become its eternal nourishment..."

The shield guards whispered to comfort the infected soldiers.

"It's okay, the captain is here. There's only one enemy, and he's no match for the captain. So don't be afraid!"

The Patriot exerted force on his grip on the spear and took a big step forward. His eyes beneath the sheep bone mask stared sharply and coldly at the inner guards in front of him.

"It's an honor to meet you, great Wendigo."

The internal security guards were very "respectful" towards the patriots, of course, this was only superficial respect.

"Let the others... come out... You betrayed... the emperor... and defected to... the nobles?!"

Facing the patriot's questioning, the inner guard silently shook his head. Around the integration movement, three other inner guards slowly emerged from the wind and snow, the red light in their eyes particularly eerie and dazzling in the wind and snow.

"Sir Wendigo, you misunderstood. We are forever loyal to Ursus and to His Majesty. However, Ursus is now too old, like a beast gradually losing its life. It needs a new chance to revive. We are only fighting for the glory of Ursus again."

The heavy breathing sound came from the instrument in the inner guard's head, like the roar of a devil.

"Great Lord Wendigo, the most formidable incarnation of the Empire, one of the founders and witnesses of the Golden Age of the Emperor. Ursus needs your stalwart figure today. Come with me, Lord Wendigo. His Majesty will be delighted to see you."

"And the Duke's daughter... Tallulah..."

"I never thought you would be the leader of this infected organization. Even the great Wendigo follows you, as well as the Shield Guards. Since you have always followed Mr. Wendigo, you are innocent. Follow me and leave. You will have a brighter future and a greater greatness."

"Instead of staying like rats in this icy plain with these despicable infected people and lingering on like rats."

Facing the invitation from the inner guard.

The Patriot refused without even thinking, and his shield slammed down to the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.

"I... am no longer a captain in Ursus... I am... Podrocasti of the Reunion Movement!"

"Tallulah! Froststar!!"

"Shield Guard, follow me! Stop this inner guard!!"

Tallulah swung the sword in her hand, and with a roar, she led the shield guards to kill an inner guard on the side. Froststar did the same. She and her snow monster team also chose to fight against the inner guard in the back.

As for the other two...

The Patriot gathered his strength, and terrifying waves of Originium energy rolled out from his body. The terrifying aura even suppressed the inner guards' fearful aura for a while.

The patriot looked deeply at the inner guard in front of him and spoke slowly.

"Leave... or die..."

The inner guard sighed deeply.

"We respect your honor, Mr. Wendigo. We will take Tallulah away, and the others will become the nourishment of our fear. As for you, Mr. Wendigo, we will leave you with an intact body."

Done.

The inner guards on the southeast sides drew out long swords from their waists that were specially made for the inner guards by Ursus with the whole country's strength and technology.

Fear of Collapse

The inner guard's left hand was empty and he grabbed the air with one hand.

The invisible fear that filled the air suddenly turned into black air visible to the naked eye and continued to gather towards the inner guard's left hand.

Even with the encouragement and protection of the shield guards.

However, under the continuous release of the [State] by the Internal Guard, the fear in the hearts of these infected soldiers continued to rise, and only the last trace of resignation was left to fight against the rising fear.

And these fears also turned into the most delicious nutrients for the inner guards, making their strength increase visibly with the blessing of fear.

The power transformed from fear was also grabbed by the inner guards, turning into a pure black energy ball with the property of "annihilation", and thrown towards the patriots. At the same time, the two inner guards also turned into a black hurricane and killed the patriots.

The Patriot immediately raised a large shield to block the black ball with annihilation properties, then swung his spear and fought one against two, fighting together with these two inner guards whose skills had reached the pinnacle of human beings.

"We come here with sincerity. Your Excellency, Bozhukas, please follow us. His Majesty will grant you the position of general, and you will surely command the Ursus army and continue your legend as the embodiment of Ursus's perseverance, bringing glory to Ursus once again!"

"You were born for war, sir! You shouldn't waste your life in the snow!"

In the final analysis, the internal security guard did not want to kill the patriots. He really wanted to recruit patriots.

After all, their plan was to make Ursus great again by provoking a war, and the Patriots, in addition to their own formidable strength, also had outstanding tactical command capabilities.

At that time, there were not many tactical commanders in the entire Ursus who could compete with the Patriots.

On the battlefield, the role of a commander is, to a certain extent, much more useful than an individual with strong individual strength.

"I know you're reluctant to leave the Reunion and these infected people. This demonstrates your loyalty and sense of responsibility."

"So... what if I use the lives of the infected people in your camp as a threat..."

The Patriot fell silent.

It seems that the internal security had already kept an eye on them and used this opportunity to find the Integration Movement's Camp No. 1. Fortunately, some of the logistical supplies had already been transferred to the main camp.

"You could...try..."

The Patriot's expression didn't even change.

"Since you don't believe me, I will have my companions cut off their mouths and noses so you can see for yourself..."
