I'm in Terra

The plan progressed smoothly. Under Dorothy's control, Ron gave the impression to all the people in the territory that he was crazy and afraid of death. Now that Lord Ron had fled with his family, the people here naturally no longer cared about him, which made the investigation plan of Victoria and the officials smooth sailing.

After learning that Ron was most likely not to return, the citizens, who had previously treated him coldly, began to speak up, accusing him of the fat man's ridiculous policies. Victory and the officials also gained a detailed understanding of the situation in Ron's territory.

All in all, the situation in Roan County wasn't much different from what Victoria had predicted, and it was impossible to restore people's livelihoods in a short period of time. However, under Lord Roan's rule, many houses in both towns and villages had been vacated, so finding a suitable place for the military to station a technical secondary school was not a problem.

After three days of investigation, Victoria left 30% of Ron's wealth, and then escorted the remaining property back to Norvinsk with a small number of soldiers and elite black soldiers.

Dorothy's dimensional transcendence carries a heavy burden, and Victoria cannot afford to allow Dorothy to capture every town through such a risky means. Dorothy herself needs to continue learning and improving, and the soldiers under her command also need to be tempered and eliminated through battle.

The tricky method may work for a while, but not forever. Let's leave the rest of the time to these passionate men.

However, to be on the safe side, Victoria planned to lead the Flying Bear Army himself in the first battle.

Victoria, well-versed in the history of the Three Kingdoms, knew that elite troops were the essential backbone of a decisive and swift victory. As long as his elite troops could quickly break through the enemy's defenses, victory in the battle could be easily secured.

The training of elite troops was also a crucial and expensive undertaking. Take, for example, the Flying Bear Army, which Victoria was currently forming. With fewer than three hundred elite soldiers, their daily training required nearly as much effort as a thousand-man barracks. Furthermore, the treatment and training Victoria provided them was beyond the imagination of ordinary soldiers.

The pay for these two hundred-plus soldiers was only a fraction lower than that of a lieutenant, and their benefits were vastly different. They received two meals a day, each filled to the brim, could smell meat daily, and enjoyed a drink of strong liquor twice a week. Those with families were given priority for safe, well-paid positions. If they didn't have families, Victoria could arrange marriages for them.

Even more so than these treatments was the terrifying training environment. To join the Flying Bear Battalion, the first requirement was to have placed in the top ten in a martial arts performance. This was followed by a complex background check and a personal interview with Victor. After passing all of these, soldiers could only become reserve soldiers of the Flying Bear Army.

Only if a soldier persists in and completes the training designed by Victoria himself within one month can he be officially considered to join this elite force.

As for the training methods Victor had devised, he drew directly on records of military training during the Three Kingdoms period and modern special forces drills. Considering that Ursians are generally stronger than real-world humans, Victor even incorporated some tougher tactics into the training.

These soldiers, who had never undergone proper training, had never seen such a scene before. They were tortured to the point of being unable to speak, but for the generous treatment provided by Victoria, these bear men had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.

However, the Snow Mirror people were known for their resilience. Even if Victor asked them to die, many would gladly accept the reward. After several months of training, this special forces unit, meticulously nurtured by Victor, had taken shape.

Next, they will be baptized by war and blood.

A General's Success: 16 Like a Python Slowly Tightening the Throat (Fourth Update Beet)

"We should be almost there by now. Get ready. We'll be stationed here for the time being."

Attacking like fire and retreating like the wind, the guerrillas' movements were always swift and covert. Thanks to Victor's recent deployment, the guerrillas were now quite familiar with the terrain of eastern and southern Luxembourg.

However, compared with the stronger and more threatening towns in the south, these small towns in the east are more troublesome for the guerrillas.

While Woden Town was strong, it posed more threats, and its lords were more sensible. In most cases, the lords of Woden Town would rather suffer a loss than maintain stability in the surrounding area. Therefore, the guerrillas could remain relatively safe in the countryside near Woden Town, without having to worry about sudden attacks from the army.

But things were different here. The towns in the east were small and stubborn, and even the slightest disturbance could bring out the armies in full force. Fortunately, these towns were not large, and the troops under the lords were barely within the range that the guerrillas could handle.

"I still don't understand why we have to come to this godforsaken place." Tallulah supported the tired Alina and looked around in confusion.

Compared to their previous campsite, the surrounding environment was even harsher and the temperature even lower. In such extreme conditions, there wouldn't be many wild animals in the forest. The thought of her team starving again for the next period of time made Tallulah feel a little heavy.

Seeing Tallulah's gloomy face, Frost Star couldn't help but snort. "Do you think we're nobles out for an outing? You only pick nice places to stay? To tell you the truth, the environment around here is already quite good in our guerrillas' history. When you're truly in dire straits, you'll realize that a place with forests and animals is already considered good. If you want to change your mind, it's not too late to turn back now."

"Who's going to go back on their word?" Frost Star prodded her, and Tallulah immediately pulled out the camping gear from her backpack and began working. Alina, standing nearby, didn't even bother to rest, but immediately unloaded her bag and began helping.

Watching everyone absorbed in their work, Froststar's thoughts drifted back to the time they had just set out. The old stubborn man had accepted Tallulah, as she had expected, but he had also come to her alone that same night.

She still remembered the old stubborn man's low and hoarse voice at that time: "Tallulah, her identity is not simple. Be careful when you are with her."

Frost Star was puzzled at the time: "Since you think Tallulah's identity is questionable, why did you accept her? Wouldn't it be better to just let her stay in the south?"

"Her military uniform is genuine. It's the uniform of a noble. However, her identity as an infected person is also real. I don't intend to deny her efforts just because of speculation."

"I understand." Shuangxing nodded: "You feel that there is something wrong with her, but you can't tell what it is, right?"

The tall monster didn't answer, instead lowering his head to fiddle with the fire. Yelena, having spent so much time with the old stubborn man, knew this was a tacit understanding. Perhaps because the old stubborn man never doubted others casually, he felt a little embarrassed to express his doubts now.

But, is Tallulah suspicious...

Froststar shook her head, pushing the memory out of her mind. She remembered Victoria's wise words: time will tell. If there really was something wrong with Tallulah, she couldn't hide it forever.

If Tallulah really deceived herself, she would end the traitor's life with her own hands.

Set up camp, light a fire, and send out scouts. This routine of field camping was familiar to the guerrillas, as they were preparing to complete Victoria's commission. Froststar chose to camp not near the village, but in the woods closer to the road. Meanwhile, the shield guards, still led by the Patriot, were stationed further south, near the road.

Frost Star and the Patriots were not clear about Victory's plan, nor did they know why Victor wanted them to block the road, but out of trust in their partners, they still carried out Victory's orders meticulously.

After settling down, Froststar directed the snow monsters to start cooking. Life in the south had been incredibly comfortable for them. Not only were they well-fed and well-clothed, they even had plenty to spare. Especially after helping Ian deal with the black bugs, the guerrillas' reserves were more than enough to comfortably get through the winter.

But for Tallulah, who was preparing to join the Yetis, the situation wasn't so good. She and the infected had finally scrambled to set up a makeshift camp, only to discover the Yetis had already finished their lunch. Clearly, they had no intention of sharing their food.

Tallulah knew that this was a very normal thing, but looking at the eager faces of the infected people around her, Tallulah still went up to talk to them.

"Food?" Frost Star glanced at Tallulah in surprise. "Of course you have to make it yourselves, right? You and those infected aren't part of my organization, so I have no obligation to prepare food for you, right?"

"I know." Tallulah nodded. "What I mean is, can you lend us some food? We'll find a way to replenish it for you later..."

"You can't pay it back." Frost Star interrupted Talulah coldly before she could finish her words. "Instead of wasting time on me, why not try hunting, or go to a nearby village and try to trade for some food? Your people don't have to participate in the battle, and this amount of labor won't kill them with just one meal a day. If you wait until nightfall and still can't find any food, come back and discuss borrowing food from me."

After that, Frost Star ignored Tallulah and looked gently at Alina beside her: "Teacher Alina, are you too tired from today's journey? Should we start the study after a break? Or do you plan to take a break and start the lesson tomorrow?"

"We can start this afternoon." Alina smiled gently and pulled Talulah back unnoticed. "This little bit of fatigue is nothing. But Sister Yelena, can you help me and point out where I can find prey for my little Talulah?"

"How difficult is that?" Frost Star's face softened as she listened to Alina's gentle praise. She turned her head to glance at the big bear beside the fire, who then patted his chest and came over to the two of them.

"Tallulah, right? Bring two smart guys with me. Whether we can smell the meat today depends on our luck."

The Humanoid Wishing Machine in the World of Soman

A General's Success: 17 Attack the enemy at night and weaken their morale

The faint morning light streaked across the sky. The morning in Ursus arrived early as always. A tired girl slept soundly under her warm blanket, while the boy beside her had already woken up.

Today wasn't a special day; he was simply going to the south to claim his second additional territory. Scouting intelligence had arrived last night, delivered in expedited detail about the situation in the towns south of Roan.

It was a small town called Arco, whose terrain was even more treacherous than Roan. The local lord's moral character was similar to Roan's, but because the population was smaller, he was more lenient with his subjects. Furthermore, due to the sparse population, the locals couldn't even recruit enough soldiers.

It was rumored that Alkori had recruited less than half of their 500 soldiers locally, but the patrol unit was reportedly still relatively well-equipped. Clearly, the disparity in strength between the two sides was already absurdly large. After confirming the news, Victor didn't even consider resorting to any tactics. He simply scheduled the Flying Bear Army's attack and ordered the preparation of battle supplies and equipment.

However, considering the subsequent defense and coordination issues, Victoria still brought an extra 200 soldiers. Including the eager Flying Bear Army, there were a total of 500 people, plus several reserve officers who had already been selected, which were all the personnel for this raid.

As for the general leading the troops, it was naturally Victor himself. This battle could be considered both the Flying Bear Army's first and his first. Regardless, he would personally lead the troops into battle.

After this period of adjustment, Victor had a more or less grasp of Kashena's intentions. Furthermore, Norvinsk's established urban structure didn't require him, the lord, to toil day and night. Therefore, Victor confidently left the rearguard to Kashena and Dorothy, leading the assault with the Hunting Bees alone.

This raid will not waste too much time. Even including the round trip, three days will be enough.

Unfortunately, Norvinsk's industry and resources were underdeveloped, and they couldn't acquire enough snowmobiles. Otherwise, with the vehicles' capabilities, they could easily travel from Alcor and back in a day.

Climbing onto the only snowmobile, Victor turned to look at the rows of marching sleds behind him. While not as fast as an off-road vehicle, they were still quite capable tools for marching in the snow. Victor consulted the map and led the team to Roan Town, between Norvinsk and Alcor Territory. After lunch near Roan Town, he slowly led the team towards Alcor Territory.

Although Arknights is set in the modern or near-future world, Victoria isn't worried about being discovered. Signals and base stations don't exist in areas outside of mobile cities. Therefore, long-distance communication in this world relies on either building strong base stations or relying on Scourge Messengers.

But now they are in the middle of the snowfield, the most barren eastern wasteland of Ursus. It is a fantasy to expect to discover Victoria's advance in advance.

This was indeed the case. Until Victoria accidentally led the team to a somewhat dilapidated village, they did not encounter any human habitation along the way.

After arriving at the village, Victoria ordered everyone in the village to be controlled immediately to ensure that no news would leak out.

At first, the elders in the village were worried that Victoria was coming to collect taxes, so they approached the group with trepidation, trying to find out the group's intentions in a roundabout way. But when they learned that Victoria was coming to investigate and punish the lords who were not doing their jobs properly, they all wanted to come forward and serve as guides.

It was clear that the lord of Alcor wasn't particularly popular. Rather, Victor hadn't seen many lords who looked human. In comparison, his eldest brother, Carter, was a rather friendly acting governor.

Unfortunately, it was useless. Victor knew his elder brother's abilities. Managing the territory and handling daily government affairs was easy for him. But when it came to scheming with the nobles... he was still too young.

A boy who was nearly ten years younger than Carter commented unconsciously.

After learning from several villagers that Alcor Territory was no more than five kilometers away, Victor ordered the entire army to rest. With the exception of the scouts assigned as scouts and informants, everyone stayed in the dilapidated village for the entire afternoon.

It was not until it got dark that Victoria led his team out of the village on foot.

The soldiers who were originally responsible for delivering the message had already disguised themselves as rural hunters and sneaked into the town under Victor's arrangement. Victor only needed to wait for them to break through the city gate, pick up these scouts and return to the team, and then rush into the lord's mansion with the intelligence obtained by the scouts.

If all went well, Victor and his team would be able to control the lord before the Alcor garrison could react. Victor would then have the final say on whether to forcibly transfer power or eliminate the soldiers and start over.

If an accident occurs, or the scouts fail to cooperate with the outside forces, a town raid will be inevitable.

As the night deepened, Victoria led his team to the edge of the town. There was no need for any so-called action signal. With his eyesight, he was able to see the yawning guards on duty at the city gate in the dark.

Soon, several dark figures quietly emerged from the shadows of the street and easily strangled several absent-minded gatekeepers. Seeing this, Victoria breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the composite longbow in his hand that had been ready for a long time.

As the team approached silently, the appearances of several dark shadows gradually emerged. They were the scout teams that Victoria had arranged earlier.

Seeing that Victoria was leading the team in person, several scouts first bowed their heads, and then carefully led the team into the alley on the edge of the town.

"My Lord, the brothers have spent the past few days thoroughly exploring this town. Lord Alcor's residence is in the center, while the military camp and patrol units are located in the northeast and southeast corners. Our investigations reveal that while Lord Alcor is cruel and harsh towards his subjects, he is exceptionally attentive to his own men. I've heard that many of his loyal followers are on the same page."

"Really? Thank you all for your hard work." Upon hearing the news, a hint of disappointment flashed in Victoria's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Pass on my orders. The team will first head into the city to capture the bandit leader. Then, we will split into two groups to annihilate the local armed forces. Since we are all birds of a feather, we must eradicate them completely!"

"Yes!"

A General's Success: 18 Generals Killed and Cities Captured

In ancient China, the Son of Heaven and imperial power were considered divinely bestowed. How many people bowed to the title of Son of Heaven? And how many people risked their lives just to wear that imperial crown?

Unfortunately, the Sima family told the whole of China the truth. The so-called Son of Heaven was nothing more than an ordinary person who could be stabbed to death at will.

The same was true of the lords of Ursus. Glory and force formed a veil, elevating the status of nobles and lords to the skies in the eyes of the common people. They resented, endured, and were blinded by the consequences. They didn't realize that the so-called nobles were merely humans with military achievements.

The Ursus people are not afraid of death, but are blinded by power. How ridiculous is that?

The night march was orderly. The town of Ursus did not have high-end facilities such as street lights. Citizens could only sleep in their homes after dark. Only the lord's villa was always lit.

The army silently surrounded the villa. Looking at the two guards standing at the door, Victoria slowly raised his composite longbow. He breathed, took aim, and drew the bow, the cold tip of the arrow reaching for his target.

swoosh————

There was a not-so-sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the sharp arrow easily pierced through the throat of a guard. Before the other guard could react to what happened, another sound of breaking through the air completely deprived him of consciousness.

"No one who is active in the villa will be left alive." Putting down the longbow, Victoria waved his hand nonchalantly.

The soldiers around him murmured in agreement, then drew their swords and filed in. Maids, attendants, guards, dancers, anyone who was still alive, fell equally under the blades.

When Victoria walked slowly into the hall, except for Lord Alco who was surrounded, all the remaining living people had been killed.

Seeing Victor's unusual attire, the timid Lord Alco mustered up the courage to ask, "Who...who are you? Why are you breaking into the Lord's mansion?"

Victor did not answer, but stepped over the corpses with an expressionless face, took the long sword from the warrior beside him, and separated Lord Alco's head with one sword.

After executing the last living person in the villa, Victoria took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the long sword in his hand, and returned it to the soldier beside him: "Next time I say don't spare anyone, there is no need to keep the lord. He is just a useless person who only cares about his position and does nothing. It's not worth worrying about him."

The Feixiong soldier beside him took the long sword and bowed slightly: "Yes! Please forgive me, sir!"

Victoria waved his hand. "This is such a small matter, there's no need to be lenient or unforgiving. Come on, split the team in two. Three hundred Flying Bear soldiers will follow me to the Northeastern Army Camp to slaughter them. The remaining two hundred soldiers will surround the Southeastern Patrol's stronghold and ensure that no one escapes. I have only one request: eradicate all evil, leaving no one alive!"

"Ula!!"

After issuing the order, Victor took his own spear from the gatekeeper, the Hunting Bee, and then split his forces into two groups. Victor led the Flying Bear Army to tackle the tough ones, while the Hunting Bee led the ordinary soldiers to clean up the debris.

It was still dusk, a perfect time to attack the camp. Victor, longbow in hand and sword in hand, followed his pattern, dispatching the guards inside the camp. Perhaps never anticipating the enemy's imminent attack from the town behind them, the three outposts within the camp remained oblivious to the movement behind them. Victor, without hesitation, wielded his longbow and dispatched the sentries whose backs were turned.

The archery skills he learned from Dong Zhongying were fully demonstrated at this moment. The compound bow from modern technology plus the powerful arm strength provided by the two generals made him become the god of death at this moment. The blood of the eagle flowing in his body allowed him to see things freely in the dark.

At this moment, all enemies he saw were shot dead on the spot.

"Enemy, enemy attack!!!"

Unfortunately, the truth cannot be hidden forever. The night patrol team eventually discovered the situation. When they returned, they found that a large number of men in black were pouring into the camp from the rear. With their hearts and livers broken, the patrol team let out a shrill scream and then turned around and ran!

Victor didn't care. An attack on the camp would be discovered sooner or later; it was just a matter of time. Although the soldiers in the camp were awakened by the screams, they had no time to get their weapons and armor, let alone use bows and crossbows. In close combat, how could an army lacking training and combat experience compare to his elite soldiers who practiced martial arts every day?

In a short while, the Flying Bears had cleared most of the tents in the camp. Although the remaining troops, in a panic, grabbed weapons and fled to resist, they were steadily defeated by the heavily armed Flying Bears. Not to mention the cold-blooded Death God wielding a longbow at the rear. Whenever the troops encountered obstacles, a few arrows would pierce the air and easily take down the unarmored enemies.
