Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

However, the new armor of the Faldon faction completely overwhelmed Leiden.

A giant puppet, ten meters tall, swept across the battlefield, striking fear into the hearts of all.

In just one month, Leiden declared defeat.

Faced with such a massive arsenal, they had no hope of victory.

But Lu Ye wasn't very surprised; Leiden's defeat was within his expectations.

After all, that's Ossinlid's goal.

As the holder of two Protoss fragments, he first used Vandon to weaken Leiden's military strength, and then attempted to create a massacre to force Leiden to resist and accelerate Leiden's defeat. Although the massacre plan was stopped by Lu Ye, the goal was still achieved in the end.

But this was still not the colonel's true intention.

From the top of the church, Lu Ye cast his gaze toward the distant city.

Three days later, the International Conference will be held in Leiden, where leaders from various countries will gather on the enemy's side.

Lu Ye knew.

The colonel's real goal was not simply to defeat Leiden.

Instead, it kills two birds with one stone.

Chapter 89 The Truth

However, Leiden's defeat came a little earlier than Lu Ye had anticipated.

Seeing the various expressions on people's faces, Lu Ye took a deep breath and returned to her room.

After taking a shower and instructing the nurse to keep an eye on Violet, Lu Ye left the sanatorium.

He spent money to buy six tickets to a small country in the East.

That place is called Mana. Although it is not technologically advanced, it is far from the war and is a peaceful place.

He then gave them to people he knew.

An elderly woman working at a clothing store.

Melo and her brother.

And then there are Hawkins and Ye Zhou...

I heard that those two went to the front lines a few days ago, luckily survived, and then successfully withdrew from the army.

The reason given for sending them away was a winter trip.

The route from Leiden to Mana is especially beautiful in spring and winter, so Lu Ye invited them to see it.

These people readily accepted the offer, since people's movements would be restricted during the international conference, and it was better to travel than to stay at home.

The round trip takes about a week... but that should be enough.

The international conference will begin in three days, and both the victorious and defeated nations will attend.

If Lu Ye succeeds, Hawkins and the others will return in a week.

If Lu Ye fails, they will most likely not return, because the war will continue.

The last ticket was the one he left for Violet.

If she still hasn't woken up after three days, then Luye will send her to Mana and ask the old woman and Melo to take care of her.

The rest of the battles... we'll have to fight them ourselves.

After that, Lu Ye went to the army prison.

He came to visit me in prison.

Given his current status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get in for a prison visit.

Through the cold iron bars, he met Colonel Osinlid.

Because of Kenny's accident, O'Sullivan was sentenced to death.

That's right, the higher-ups desperately needed a scapegoat, and the colonel who brought it up became the first choice... It was a lucky accident.

The political parties that were hostile to the colonel seized the opportunity to exert pressure and successfully put him on the verge of death.

"You won, congratulations," said the person behind the iron bars.

“Is that so?” Lu Ye looked at the man in shackles. “Should I call you Colonel, or Fermund?”

“Fairmond, you don’t understand O’Sullivan at all.” The old man chuckled, his face marred by hideous scars.

"Where is your clone?" Lu Ye asked. "Or rather, where did the Colonel go?"

“I was killed. After I learned that I had been sentenced to death, I was trying to run to Vandor, but I was stopped on the way.”

"That joke isn't funny," Lu Ye said expressionlessly.

"So... what are you going to do next? Run away with the girl, or continue to enjoy the riches and glory in this city?" Fermund said. "You're a nobleman now, right? People who make significant contributions to the country are granted noble titles. You helped Leiden improve the mech and saved Kenny, so it's only right that you get money and status... but I still recommend that you go back."

"Go back where?"

“Go home. You’re too naive. When someone is determined to do something, it’s hard to stop them. In my original plan, many people were going to die at this port. When the time was right, I would lead my men to repel Vanrton’s forces… After that, regardless of whether the Ministers of Ceremonies agree or not, Leiden will stir up a storm of resentment.”

“So you wish I were dead, but you still urged me to leave because of Violet, right?” Lu Ye said. “Your child looks a lot like her.”

“So you’ve already met,” Fermund said with a smile. “After all, he’s not my alter ego, so I can’t give him orders.”

"So I guessed right, the one who died was the colonel, and his clone survived."

“That’s right, I cut myself into his face, one slice at a time, and made myself look like this.” Fermund gestured with his hand to his face. “The people in our village all look pretty much the same. Although their features are different, if you look at them at a glance, you’ll have the illusion that they are all the same person.”

"So, all this time, it's been you, or that clone, communicating with me?"

"Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's an avatar. After all, sometimes I have to contact the 'chief scientist' in Verdon and tell him how to modify the neural connection device."

"Why do this?"

"Since you already know that I am Fermund and that I am the one who provided the neural connection technology to Vandon, you should have also found out about my background."

All I know is that you used to be a slave.

“No… before I became a slave, I was a free man.” Fermund slowly wiped the smile off his face.

"If you want revenge, all you need to do is destroy Leiden, right?"

"You've probably heard the story about a small team that went to rescue their member, only to be killed by the villagers in the end..."

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

In fact, because of the colonel's status as a slave, the military had hidden his file.

That's why some nosy soldiers wanted to dig up the colonel's past.

“There’s a sequel to that story. Want to hear the real version?” Fermund tilted his head back, revealing a scar on his neck that O’Sullid didn’t have. “As you said, the one who died was O’Sullid, but he didn’t die on that day. Before carrying out that mission, we finally found the instigator, Cliff, that nobleman who rose to power by drinking the blood of my people. After finding out the whereabouts and fate of my people, we planned a rescue on one hand, and on the other hand, we prepared a plan using these two fragments. But no matter what, Cliff must die.”

"But that coward Cliff, fearing our retaliation, prepared a scheme. He bribed an army officer at the time, and with the officer's embellished report, the mission was considered a major dereliction of duty on my part as the captain. Another soldier whom Osinlid and I rescued was also threatened and forced to write false testimony in his report and diary. In the end, I was sentenced to death for serious misconduct."

"But Osinlid saved you..."

“That’s right. Originally, he planned to use a clone to impersonate me and die in my place while he went to Fanerdong. But before the plan could be carried out, he was killed by someone sent by an officer. Later, I heard from the soldier who shot him how he died. Just like when the village was breached, he died under more than twenty gun barrels. Before he died, he killed four people…”

"Then how did you survive?" Lu Ye asked.

"My clone told me this news. He was originally preparing to disguise himself as me, but he told me the moment my original body died."

"So you became Osinlid. Since the news didn't spread, it proves that you killed all the people involved."

Fermund chuckled softly. "I remember when I stood in front of the officer and Chris, they looked like they'd seen a ghost. Isn't it ridiculous that someone would risk their life for a country that had kidnapped their people? I wonder if those well-dressed people on the red carpet were secretly laughing every time Osinled and I returned wounded and bloodied."

"Logically speaking, your goal should be to destroy Leiden."

“That’s how it started, but I got inspired.”

"Inspiration?"

“That night, we slept soundly. The guards were killed, and the villagers slit the soldiers’ throats one by one until we realized what was happening. He and I easily killed the villagers, leaving one alive. O’Sinlid asked him why, and that reason inspired us.”

Fermund chuckled and said, “Those villagers went to great lengths to help us gain our trust, even exposing their country’s military fortresses, all in an effort to kill us. Do you know why? Because the country is nothing to those elderly people. Their children have all gone to the battlefield and never returned. So they want to take action against us. Although they didn’t directly kill their relatives, in their eyes, we are the murderers.”

“I see. All those who capture and command your people must die. If you can’t find them, use the circumstances to make them suffer.”

Lu Ye understood why Osinlid had gone to such lengths to plan all of this.

If he only wanted to destroy Raiden, he could have done so long ago with the power of the Protoss shards.

He wasn't seeking revenge against Leiden; his target was the entire Western continent.

In those cities, buildings, and transportation systems, the presence of slaves was indispensable.

And among those suffering people, perhaps there are his own people.

All those nations that rose to power by relying on slavery... are sinners, murderers.

……

Decades ago, railways crisscrossed the entire continent.

Just as Columbus's discovery of the Americas brought annihilation to the indigenous people.

The development of transportation technology has also brought dangers to the people of the original habitat.

At that time, the war on the western continent had just ended, and Leiden had taken the lead in the southern countries.

With everything in ruins and lacking population, many countries discovered that there were still many indigenous people on this continent, and the slave trade began to develop.

They used guns to suppress the natives, put heavy collars and shackles on them, and then sent them back to the country by train to work for them... This phenomenon gradually disappeared until Leiden passed a law that allowed slaves to redeem their freedom at a low price, but that was a later development.

At that time, a family named Cliff made a lot of money in business and later invested in the Southeastern Railroad.

While admiring the railway, the homeowner Cliff came across a village inhabited by a special group of people.

The men in the village were natural fighters, and the women's faces, untouched by any rouge, were more beautiful than jewels.

In that era of rising slavery, Cliff harbored wicked intentions.

After successfully smuggling these people back through sweet words or other means, he immediately received a large following.

The men were forced into hard labor, while the women were assigned to the royal family that ruled Leiden at the time, based on their appearance.

Cliff was granted a noble title and gained wealth and fame.
