I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Who are you looking for? Have we been discovered?"

Amiya shook her head and said in response to the doctor's question:

"It wasn't us. We just infiltrated Chernobog and haven't been discovered yet! It's probably someone else who has attracted the attention of the Reunion Movement."

"Ugh... I feel so unlucky. It was the other side that was exposed, so why is Rhodes Island suffering the consequences...?"

Hearing the Doctor's words, Amiya also showed a helpless expression. Amiya was also concerned that the Reunion Movement had entered search mode shortly after they infiltrated, which increased the difficulty of Rhodes Island's infiltration. The other team members also said that they had not been discovered and had not fought with the Reunion Movement.

After listening to what all the action teams had to say, Amiya fell into deep thought. Yuhaka, having noticed something, told Amiya:

"Amiya, Youyou smells Chenchen's scent! OwO~"

"???"

Chapter 966 [Discovery and the Snowfield Guerrilla]

Following Yuhaka's directions, Amiya and the others also saw a place where a wall had been cut down by a sharp weapon. Amiya looked surprised upon seeing this and said:

"This is... Commander Chen's Originium Arts?! Why is Commander Chen here?!"

Amiya was quite surprised by the reason why Chen Sir was here. She obviously did not expect Chen Sir to appear in this place. At first, Amiya was a little skeptical when she heard Yuhaka smell Chen Sir's scent. After all, Amiya could not imagine why Chen Sir would come all the way from Lungmen to the core city of Chernobog.

"Doctor, what should we do now?"

Hearing Amiya's question, the Doctor looked a little troubled and stroked his chin, saying:

"Uh... anyway, let's deal with Duke Koschche's matter first. After all, even if we wanted to find Officer Chen, we don't know his location..."

Amiya was at a loss for what to do after hearing the doctor's words. After all, since Chen Sir had infiltrated Chernobog, Amiya and her team had no way to contact him and did not know where he was.

Finally, Kal'tsit suggested that Amiya and the others should go find Talulah, who was possessed by Duke Koschke. If Chen Sir were to stop Chernobog alone, then the target of the enemy would most likely be Talulah.

If that's really the case, Inspector Chen might run into them, which would save them the time of looking for each other.

After hearing Kal'tsit's suggestion, Amiya and the Doctor agreed. Although they really wanted to find Chen Sir, their team was too small and it wasn't suitable for them to split up and search for him. At most, they could just keep an eye out for him.

Soon, Amiya and her group acted again. After encountering several Reunion Movement search teams, Yuhaka charged towards them with incredible speed, wielding her twin swords. She turned the Reunion Movement soldiers into beast balls like mowing grass. The Reunion Movement soldiers couldn't help but recall the fear of being turned into beast balls by Yuhaka when they saw her turn her comrades into beast balls.

"The demon! The demon is back—!!"

"Don't come near me! You monster from Chernobog!?"

Upon witnessing Yhaka's familiar method of turning people into beast balls, many Reunion soldiers trembled in fear. After all, Yhaka had caused quite a stir in Chernobog, and even now, many people still remember what Yhaka looked like.

Seeing the Reunion soldiers turned into beast balls by Yuhaka, Amiya had Rosemary gather them together and hide them. Amiya and the others continued their operation. At this moment, Yuhaka stopped and sniffed his little nose.

Seeing Yuhaka's actions, Amiya looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Youyou, what do you smell?"

Upon hearing Amiya's question, Yuhaka looked at Amiya and said:

"Youyou think she smells something like a corpse."

The stench of a corpse?

Yuhaka's answer puzzled Amiya. Amiya then sniffed the surrounding air but couldn't smell anything. She turned to Rosemary and asked:

"Rosemary, do you sense anything unusual?"

Rosemary looked puzzled after hearing Amiya's words. She then tried using her Originium Arts to sense the situation and said to Amiya:

"Hmm...no, Amiya, I didn't sense anything."

"That's not within the scope of Rosemary Originium Arts."

It was at this moment that Kal'tsit, who was behind Amiya, stepped forward and explained:

"Amiya, don't rely entirely on emotions. Perception can not only explore emotions, but the first feeling when your fingers run through your hair should not be lingering or joy, but appearance."

"Appearance?"

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, Amiya had a confused expression, as if she didn't quite understand what Kal'tsit was saying. Kal'tsit then asked Amiya to try it out in her own way. After trying Kal'tsit's method, Amiya sensed a strange energy floating in the surrounding air, which smelled like a corpse.

"A corpse? No, this shouldn't be a real corpse, but why... ah, why is this? Is this Sarkaz Originium Arts, a ritual imbued with the aura of death?"

After Amiya finished speaking, Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, also provided information, saying:

"Yes, this is an ancient ritual that operates automatically after it is formed. It is not a modern spell, nor does it belong to modern tactics."

The Doctor, who was standing nearby, looked curious after hearing Kal'tsit's words and asked:

"Are Sarkaz spells really that different?"

Amiya, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement with the professor's question and said:

“Yes, Doctor, this is quite unusual, because the Sarkaz people today have no way to activate this kind of magic. I understand what Dr. Kal'tsit means. I think this is not a product of modern Originium Arts theory, but an ancient Sarkaz ritual.”

"In other words, we've met the adoptive father that Frostnova mentioned?"

Frostnova also told Amiya and the others about these things, which led Frostnova to warn them to be careful to avoid her adoptive father's ancient ritual. After all, the ritual still posed a danger. Although Amiya and the others were wearing protective gear, it couldn't completely eliminate the effects of the ritual. The only thing they could do was to slightly reduce its destructive power. Of course, if they could destroy it remotely, it wouldn't be a problem (after all, this isn't a game, you can't just destroy things).

After Kal'tsit had the people put on protective gear, the Rhodes Island squad continued their advance. Not long after, Amiya and her team encountered a group of enemies. Unlike the Reunion soldiers who wore masks earlier, this group of enemies were wearing old-fashioned Ursus military equipment. Undoubtedly, this was the Icefield Guerrilla Force that Frostnova had mentioned, which was the force commanded by Frostnova's adoptive father, Patriot.

These troops are completely different from ordinary Reunion Movement soldiers. They are more disciplined and better at combat than the Reunion Movement soldiers who are a mob of reckless rabble. They also listen to tactics to deal with the enemy. In a sense, these enemies are much more troublesome than the Sarkaz mercenary group, not to mention that the other side has the ancient Sarkaz ritual as an aid.

Chapter 967 [Contact with the Guerrillas]

After Amiya and the Doctor saw the enemies, they also began to think about the battle plan. Their original goal was to persuade Patriot to join them in fighting against the controlled Talulah. According to Frostnova herself, her adoptive father was an extremely stubborn blockhead, and ordinary persuasion was useless. Even she herself might not be able to persuade him.

If there's really no other way, then let Yhaka turn the opponent into a ball.

Hearing Frostnova's filial piety-like answer, Amiya broke out in a cold sweat. To be honest, Amiya hadn't expected Frostnova to have such a strong opinion about her adoptive father. However, it was good that Yhaka couldn't kill anyone, which meant there was no need to worry about Yhaka killing some of the originally friendly personnel.

"Should we contact the Patriots directly through those soldiers, or infiltrate them using some other method?"

The Doctor thought about Amiya's question for a moment, and then told Amiya:

"Well... how should I put it? Let's keep things peaceful. After all, Mr. Patriot is a potential ally of ours. Although Frostnova said she could beat up her father, he is still her adoptive father, so it's not a good idea. Besides, I heard from Shattered Bones that Mr. Patriot has a high reputation within the Reunion Movement. If we can successfully cooperate with Mr. Patriot, it will be beneficial for their next operation."

Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, also expressed that she could understand the Doctor's plan and thought it was feasible. Even if a fight really broke out, according to Warfarin, Patriot would not be able to defeat Yhaka at all. This was the main reason why Kal'tsit did not need to worry about Patriot's strength.

Afterwards, the Doctor took Amiya and Kal'tsit to talk to the guerrilla soldiers. The guerrilla soldiers were stunned when they saw the Doctor and the others, after all, Amiya and her companions were too strange. A bunny loli, a strangely dressed woman, and a Felin infected who looked like a doctor, what kind of bizarre combination was this?

The guerrilla soldiers were stunned by what they saw, until Amiya greeted them and said:

"Um...excuse me, are you with Mr. Patriot's guerrilla group?"

Upon hearing Amiya's words, the guerrilla soldiers finally reacted. One of them, who seemed to be the team leader, looked at the doctor and his companions with some wariness and said:

"Wait! Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"

Amiya also answered the question about the guerrilla squad leader:

“Us? I am Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island. We are here to discuss something with Mr. Patriot.”

The guerrilla squad leader was also a little surprised to hear Amiya's words. They knew about Rhodes Island, but they were puzzled that they wanted to talk to their captain.

"What do you want to say to the captain?"

“We want to talk to Mr. Patriot about Talulah, which is also the main reason why Miss Frostnova sent us here. It’s very important.”

"What?! Frostnova sent you?!"

Upon hearing that Frostnova had sent Amiya and the others, the guerrilla squad leader appeared quite surprised. He then looked at Amiya and the others and asked:

"How are Frostnova and the others now? We haven't heard from them since they left our Chernobog branch."

Amiya also answered the question about the guerrilla squad leader:

"Miss Frostnova and the Yeti Squad are safe and sound. We've come here to discuss something very important. Could we please see Mr. Patriot first?"

After hearing Amiya and the others' words, the guerrilla squad leader remained silent for a moment before speaking to them:

"......Okay, but you'd better not try anything funny, or we'll show you that we're not to be trifled with."

As he spoke, the guerrilla squad leader instructed a few men to watch over Amiya and the others. He then sent a messenger to deliver orders to Patriots. Because Talulah had banned communication within the city, the guerrillas had to resort to the oldest method of transmitting information: running away.

Because they wanted a little time to inform Patriots, Amiya and the others took a short rest, and Amiya herself seemed relieved.

"Phew... It's so good that a fight won't break out..."

Seeing Amiya's relieved expression, Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, reminded Amiya:

"Amiya, don't relax so quickly. This isn't over yet."

After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Amiya nodded to indicate that she understood and said:

"Yes, Dr. Kal'tsit, I relaxed too soon. I wonder how Rosemary and Yuu are doing."

The place Amiya mentioned, Rosemary and Youyou, was also inside a house not far away. Rosemary had already pointed the huge weapons behind her at the guerrilla soldiers. As long as the guerrilla soldiers had any intention of harming Amiya and the others, these huge weapons, which looked like armor plates, would fly over like cannonballs and turn the guerrilla soldiers into a pile of mincemeat.

Yuhaka, standing to the side, watched Amiya and the others below, munching on a bag of snacks, his face calm, as if he didn't think Amiya and the others would fight the guerrilla soldiers.

Rosemary, seeing Yuhaka's performance, also asked curiously:

"Youyou, aren't you nervous?"

"O~O?"

Upon hearing Rosemary's words, Yuhaka looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand what Rosemary was talking about. Then, Yuhaka took out a small dried fish and held it to Rosemary's lips, saying:

"Rosemary, dried anchovies~OwO~"

When Rosemary saw the dried fish that Yuhaka handed her, she was taken aback for a moment. Then she smelled the dried fish that Yuhaka handed her and thought the smell was not bad. Rosemary opened her mouth and ate the dried fish that Yuhaka handed her.

As the dried fish crunched in Rosemary's mouth, Rosemary couldn't help but exclaim how delicious it was, and her cat ears twitched twice.

Meanwhile, at the guerrilla command post in the distance, Patriot Bochkast, the guerrillas' supreme commander, received news from the messenger about Rhodes Island and Frostnova.

Chapter 968 [Froststar: Did Youyou beat you up?]

"That's what they said?"

Upon hearing Bozokasti's question, the messenger responsible for relaying the order nodded and said:

"Yes, Captain, that's what they said."

After receiving confirmation from the messenger, Bozokastie also glanced at the broken ornament on the table beside him. This ornament was exactly the same as the one Frostnova had carried with her before. This ornament was no ordinary ornament; it was a special item that would break upon the death of its holder. Moreover, this ornament was a pair; if one ornament broke, the other ornament would also break.

Now that his jewelry has broken, Bozokastie has also learned of the "death" of his adopted daughter. Of course, Bozokastie has not told anyone else about this news.

But now the people from Rhodes Island have come to tell me that their adopted daughter asked them to come find them, and that she is safe and sound. This makes Bozokaste fall into deep thought. Are they deceiving him, or is Frostnova really alive?

As Bozokastie fell into deep thought, the messenger beside him looked at Bozokastie and asked:

"Captain?"
