I'm in Terra

"Three days at most," Victoria replied. "Including the time it takes to transport supplies and relocate personnel, you must complete everything within three days. My advice is not to leave too many people behind. The more people who know the secret, the greater the trouble will be later."

"I know what I'm doing." Andre rubbed his temples and made a quick decision. "I'll go with you. I'll arrange for you to have the people there tomorrow. What are your requirements for supplies and property? I'll have someone deliver them directly to Luxembourg."

Victoria glanced at Andre curiously. "To put it bluntly, your political literacy is even worse than I thought. Perhaps this is why Boris and you have always had such a close relationship?"

Andre coughed awkwardly: "Ahem, since you think it's inappropriate, then you will arrange it?"

Victoria glanced at Andre, as if he had just farted. "No need to go to all that trouble. Let's go our separate ways. You should have a wife and children, right? Let your wife and children, along with the capital to make a comeback, leave with me through the north gate. We'll leave Che City before anything happens.

As for those supplies that are inconvenient to carry... you should form a caravan and transport them in batches to the outskirts of Che City or the southern wilderness under the guise of a temporary warehouse for burial. Leave the map behind and eliminate those who know about it. I will naturally recover these supplies later."

"Send them to the southern wilderness for burial?" Andre nodded, then asked out of curiosity, "I have a question. If I manage to escape from Che City within these three days, will I have a chance of survival?"

"If you do that, I will immediately activate the Originium technique and leave here." Victoria was speechless for a moment. He never thought that a count could be so... naive.

"The conspiracy of Che City didn't happen overnight. The conspirators are keeping a close eye on this mobile city. The day this city falls into chaos due to the loss of its mayor will be the anniversary of its destruction. If you must try it, I suggest you do it after you've dealt with these matters. I wish you good luck in advance."

"I understand." Andre discarded the last bit of hope in his heart, picked up the white paper on the table and began to write: "I'm leaving a letter for my wife and daughter. You two will come home with me later. I will arrange my funeral and then serve as mayor peacefully for the last few days. As for the supply storage map, I will give it to you before the end of tomorrow. How about it?"

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Victory knocked on the table. "As the beneficiary, I swear on my title and family name that I will treat your wife and daughter well. Also, for every batch of supplies I recover, I will allocate 30% to the Rostov family."

"I hope so." Andre smiled bitterly and carefully put away the 'will' he had just written.

"An industrial city was lost so easily! Ursus's madness is truly chilling. Let's go. You two should have just arrived in Che City, right? I'll take you to meet my daughter, and by the way, let me do my best to be a good host."

PS: The next step is the entrustment part that everyone loves to see.

I will take care of your wife and daughter, so don't worry.

Wine Pond and Meat Forest: 52 Trust

"Liya, let me introduce you to Victoria, an outstanding talent."

When Andre, who had not been home for many days, returned home, the first thing he did was to enthusiastically introduce Victory to his daughter. Victor also took the opportunity to meet the young Zaolu, who had never been to the island and had not experienced those pains.

The long, smooth hair was as white as snow, and there were cute furry bear ears on the top of the head. The delicate little face showed the style of the Ursus people, and the pair of brown and blue heterochromatic eyes made Victoria feel amazing.

Perhaps it was because Zaolu had just finished school, she was still wearing a slim and exquisite school uniform, paired with a short skirt and black velvet socks, fully demonstrating the Ursus style.

Victoria glanced at her casually. Zaolu hadn't yet had her hair highlighted, and her fingernails were a normal flesh-colored. She was still the good girl of the Rostov family, untouched by rebellious or trendy trends.

"Victori, nice to meet you. I'm probably only two or three years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me brother." After a quick look, Victoria took the initiative to extend his hand and gently shook hands with Zaolu.

"Nice to meet you too, Brother Victoria."

Rostov's upbringing was quite perfect. After shaking hands, Natalia even gave Victoria a standard aristocratic salute, but her tone was a little cold, obviously more out of politeness than emotion.

Of course, Natalia hadn't seen her father for four or five days. She finally met him today, and she didn't want to turn the topic over to this strange young man.

But this set of etiquette was perfect enough. At least Andre was quite satisfied. "Okay, Leah, Mr. Victoria, you two can chat first. I have something to tell my wife."

"Go ahead." Victoria nodded with a smile. Although he was quite interested in Zaolu's mother, his focus now was still on the seemingly well-behaved girl in front of him.

As for Miss Dorothy, who was acting as a secretary, Victoria asked her to contact the Hunting Bee and prepare for the evacuation of Che City in advance.

In fact, according to the original historical trajectory, the Reunion Movement should have started to gradually invade Chernobog later, but under the catalysis of the two conspirators Victor and Kashena, this team has undergone tremendous changes in both speed and trajectory. The fact that Tallulah has not yet been assimilated by the Black Snake has made the overall deployment of the Reunion Movement very different from the original.

If the general direction was not still in the hands of the two of them, this group of infected people would have been played around by the naive Tallulah long ago.

Of course, these are just side topics. Victoria's main focus now is how to deal with Andre, the scapegoat, and the legacy he left behind. Well, mother and daughter are also part of the legacy.

"Brother Victoria...I'm curious about something. Could you please explain it to me?"

Just as Victoria was thinking about some very impolite topics, Zaolu, who was sitting next to him with an elegant posture, took the initiative to speak.

"If you find it really awkward, just call me Victoria." Seeing Zaolu's somewhat embarrassed tone, Victoria smiled and nodded.

"It's okay, I've never had an older brother in my family, so it's not easy to call him that." Zaolu smiled awkwardly, then blinked her heterochromic eyes and asked the question she had always been curious about.

"I just want to know why my father calls you 'Mr. Victoria'? He is a very old-fashioned and polite man, and he would never call someone by the wrong name."

"You'll know about this soon." Victoria smiled mysteriously. "Qie City has been in turmoil lately. Maybe your studies will be suspended for a while in a couple of days."

"Really? That's great... I mean, what a pity. But speaking of which, I saw some people organizing a march on the streets the day before yesterday, saying that they wanted to seek justice for the infected and the workers." Zaolu was still young after all, and Victoria easily changed the subject.

The two were of similar age, and under Victoria's deliberate guidance, they talked about the possible conspiracy behind the marching workers, and the various interesting things that happened in Qiecheng No. 4 Middle School. Occasionally, they also interspersed some complaints such as which cake shop had superb craftsmanship and which new product tasted terrible.

In just over ten minutes, Victoria became Zaolu's friend with whom she could talk very happily, and Zaolu's liveliness hidden under her dignified etiquette also began to show at this time.

Unfortunately, their chat was interrupted by Andrei and his wife coming down from upstairs. Andrei remained as calm as he had been with Victoria, while Zaolu's mother Yevina, covering her eyes with a handkerchief, looked quite sad.

However, after going downstairs, Zaolu's mother forced herself to cheer up and forced a smile at Victoria.

In that instant, Victoria knew exactly who Zaolu inherited her blue eyes and delicate features from. Andrei, while a handsome man, pales in comparison to Yevina's alluring beauty.

"Liya, Victoria, I'll treat you to a meal at the best hotel in Che City later, as a welcome treat for Victoria. Also, there's something I want to discuss with you."

After briefly greeting Victoria, Andre sat down next to Zaolu with a serious face. "Liya, Che City has been very unsafe lately. Your mother and I have discussed this and have decided to suspend your studies and transfer you to a school in Victoria's city. We've already decided that you'll attend middle school and high school there, and then go to college in the capital, Saint Jun Castle. After you graduate from college, you'll inherit the family business, and I'll gradually hand over the current business to you."

"Do you really want to transfer? This semester has just started, and is the environment in Checheng so bad? Do I need to go through the transfer process?"

Listening to Andre's arrangements, Zaolu had countless questions in her mind, but under Andre's serious gaze, she finally just opened her mouth and said, "I understand."

Seeing that Zaolu was as obedient as ever, Andre rubbed Zaolu's head with satisfaction and said, "It's settled then. You should have a good rest these two days. I will go and arrange your transfer procedures. When your brother Victoria returns in a couple of days, you will leave with him. Don't worry, I will choose a housekeeper to take care of your daily life, but I still hope that you can take care of yourself. Mr. Victoria, I'll trouble you with Leah after we arrive in Luxembourg."

Looking at the pleading eyes of Andrei and Yevina, Victoria understood something and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Natalia. As for you two, please be careful in Che City."

PS: I’m so sick, my keyboard is broken. Now I have to call out the soft keyboard while using the keyboard.

It's really annoying that the i key is gone.

Wine pool and meat forest: 53 The curtain rises

A cold wind blew gently. On the deck of the Rhodes Island, a man dressed in cool green clothes was gazing at the wasteland to the north.

That was the territory of Ursus, the place where she had fought for decades but had to flee in disgrace.

That country, that city, carried so many responses from her, and she still remembers them vividly to this day.

"Dr. Kelsey, you're looking for me?"

As Green Film was reminiscing about the past, a childish voice came from behind her. The lovely yet steady Amiya came to the deck and awakened the doctor who was immersed in her memories.

Kal'tsit glared at the little rabbit that was disrupting her thoughts, but the doting look in her eyes was unmistakable. "I just received news that a riot is suspected to be imminent in Che City. You may need to start your reception plan earlier. Also, after arriving in Che City, follow these coordinates I wrote down to pick up the reserve operators who will be joining Rhodes Island."

"Huh? Riot?" Amiya was startled, her heart instantly panicking. Her rescue plan was originally scheduled to begin next month, and Kal'tsit's words undoubtedly disrupted her plans.

Whether for the sake of the doctor's safety or to protect those who have been helping Rhodes Island, she needs to take action in advance and nip any possible danger in the bud.

"I understand. I will organize the team to set off early."

Kel'tsit nodded, her expression regaining composure. "I'll send you a map of Che City and the underlying passages via PRTS. Once you arrive in Che City, communications may be interrupted due to interference. It will then depend on your own improvisation."

"I understand, Dr. Kal'tsit. I will bring the Doctor and everyone back safely." Amiya stroked the ring on her hand and responded with a firm expression.

--------

"How...how could this happen?" Amiya asked in shock, looking at the scene in the black coffin. The medical operators around her looked as if they had seen a ghost.

On the other hand, Tallulah was also unhappy. Of course, this was not because the operation was not going smoothly, but because of some other reasons...

"The Kingslayer (Lyudmila) has already identified Chernobog's energy supply, and Bonebreaker (Alex) has also identified Chernobog's garrison through parades and other means. This city truly has no army. If we put aside the private army of less than 500 men and the police station of a thousand, this is arguably the simplest city we've encountered so far."

Alina talked incessantly about the current situation in Che City. All the cadres beside her were present except for the two people who were carrying out the undercover mission.

No, that's not right. Some cadres have not arrived yet.

Alina looked around and asked curiously, "Wait, where is Mr. Hedley?"

"He left for something." W, who was standing nearby, sneered and replied, "You old man should know that the Royal Court... is now called the Military Commission. The Military Commission wanted to see him, so he had to go. It wasn't a big deal anyway, so he just took some dry food and two or three guards. He has handed over the overall command of the Sarkaz team to Garson."

"Indeed, I'm sorry that such an accident happened right before the battle, but I will lead the charge in place of Captain Hedley, so please don't worry too much." In response to W's words, a burly Sarkaz mercenary sat down by the fire.

Hedley's departure was Garson's masterpiece, but it also exposed his identity as Tracy's subordinate. W, who was deliberately left behind, took the opportunity to recruit a group of Sarkaz who were dissatisfied with Garson's actions and prepared to make some small moves in private.

"That's it for now." Alina nodded expressionlessly and then brought the topic back on track: "Since our goal is to capture Che City, there are a few issues we must resolve in advance."

"First, we definitely can't capture the entire city of Che in this battle. Considering practicality and a variety of factors, I believe the best approach is to invade the city from the east with a large force, seizing control of the territories along the way until we reach the core area. Then, we can directly sever the connection between the core area and other areas, leaving Che with the territory we have conquered, and rushing all the way to the border of Ursus."

"A quick attack? Indeed, Qie City is close to the border. This will completely prevent the arrival of any subsequent troops and ensure the safety of the land we plunder." Frost Star nodded, agreeing with this method. "What about the other areas? And how much land can we seize?"

"That's the second point." Alina looked around. "The more land we carry, the more power the core area needs. If we want to ensure that the city we capture can continue to operate for weeks or even months, we can only capture half the area at most. I've calculated that even if we only capture a quarter of the land, the area is enough to ensure the survival of all of us."

"At most half, right..." After listening to Alina's instructions, everyone fell into deep thought.

"And the third point is how we're going to defend the other blocks and the blocks we've already occupied." Alina looked around, then looked at the Patriots and Froststar with some seriousness. "The Snow Monsters and the Guerrillas will be tasked with the frontal assault. The other teams will be randomly assigned areas. Their mission is to create as much chaos as possible and, by the way, drive ordinary people out of the eastern half. We can't let them realize our target is the eastern half, so the troops responsible for creating chaos can go a little overboard."

"A bit too much? I understand." Mephistopheles suddenly smiled and raised his hand. "I will attack from the west. The task of attracting their attention will be left to Faust and me. Also, Sister Alina, if we accidentally kill some civilians during the battle, it should be okay, right?"

Alina stared at Mephisto, then shook her head after a moment. "...This matter is of great importance, so I won't punish you. However, after we capture the core area, we will send a signal that will be enough to inform the entire city. At that time, everyone must drop their work and rush to the eastern half. Not just Mephisto, but everyone else as well."

Garson nodded in response. "Understood. Let's start the drawing of lots. Since the assault team and the suicide squad have already been chosen, it doesn't matter which area I go to next."

After a while, all the cadres were assigned their own areas, and the mobile city plundering war officially began.

But this wasn't good news for Tallulah, as Alina's tone seemed to tacitly acknowledge her subordinates' control over the civilian population and the western half of the city. She could only imagine the bloodbath that would ensue throughout Che once the Reunion Movement entered the city.

But she couldn't stop it.

Because Alina was right, because the hatred of the infected people around her was real.

There is no such thing in this world that only ordinary people can hurt infected people, and the infected people cannot retaliate.

This was the only way Tallulah could comfort herself.

PS: This is the first time I feel so tired when typing.

Keyboard, keyboard!

Kal'tsit was surprised

"Why? Why is this happening?" Amiya widened her eyes and looked at the coffin in disbelief.

The dark sarcophagus used to store the doctor was empty. Not only was there no doctor, but not even a hair left inside.

Looking at the equally panicked medical team beside her, Amiya forced herself to calm down.

Although she had been bedridden for several weeks because she had inherited the power of the Demon King and had not been able to see the doctor being placed in hospital, Dr. Kal'tsit and the medical team would never lie to her. Moreover, although Dr. Kal'tsit said that she did not like and hated the doctor, she actually respected him in her heart.

Therefore, the doctoral student must have been successfully placed in the first place.

But why was the doctor gone now? Glancing at the equally bewildered medical team beside her, Amiya looked at the liaison behind her.

"Can we contact PRTS? We need Dr. Kelsey's guidance."

"We're trying hard, but..." The liaison officer shook his head. The communicator in his hand was a high-signal model developed by the engineering department, but he still couldn't contact the Rhodes Island main ship. "It seems that there is an unknown source of interference outside the city. The team inside the city can still communicate normally, but the ones outside the city..."

Amiya clenched her fists. She knew that in times like this, she needed to stay calm. "Put everything back in place. We're preparing to retreat. There's no need to take risks when the situation is unclear. Call the other teams and have them retreat!"

"Understood." The communicator nodded and quickly adjusted the frequency band: "This is the rescue team, this is the rescue team. Attention all personnel, attention all personnel. The rescue operation has been unexpectedly terminated. All teams must fold and prepare to retreat. I repeat, the rescue operation has been unexpectedly terminated. All teams must fold and prepare to retreat..."

"This is Patrol Team A. Hostile targets of unknown origin have appeared around us. I repeat... Oops! We've already engaged in a firefight. We've confirmed they're infected! Strike back and retreat while fighting!"

"Something unexpected happened. A large number of infected thugs from unknown forces appeared on the streets!" The communicator was slightly stunned and quickly reported the situation.

Amiya nodded and quickly gave the order: "Speed up, we are preparing to break out according to the predetermined plan."

Meanwhile, Victor and his companions, who were supposed to have left Che for Luxembourg, were now perched atop a hill in southern Che, observing the city's paralysis from close range. Beside him, a green-haired man named Filin stood warily beside him, while a strange, alien-like monster also floated beside him.

"My information is that the two sides will meet inside Che City. I have no intention of arranging a fancy job fair. Especially with you there, Victory Kalashnikov."

Victoria wasn't surprised. Instead, he nodded with a smile. "I'm glad you're still paying attention to the situation in Ursus, Lord Kelsey. But you know that Che City isn't a good place for conversation right now, so please forgive us for interrupting you."

Fortunately, Louisa and others were not present at this time, otherwise, I wonder how she would feel when she heard that the young man she had a good chat with and even acted with was the Ursus noble she hated the most.

Faced with the mutual disclosure of their identities, Kel'tsit showed unusual vigilance: "My identity is not something an ordinary successor can know. It seems I have to reassess the threat you pose, heir of Akaski."

"Time and experience don't always hold true, my lord." Victoria opened his arms, motioning Dorothy to lower her guard. "I have no intention of attacking you, or rather, I harbor no ill will towards you. Instead of dwelling on those disgusting past events, why don't we discuss the present?"

Kal'tsit snorted coldly, and the monster behind him reluctantly crouched down. "There's a kind of people whose words are even less trustworthy than liars: nobles, especially the nobles of Ursus... But for the sake of Louisa and the others, I'll reluctantly listen to your nonsense."

"Haha, it's a funny joke. But it sounds surprisingly harsh coming from your mouth, Lord." Victoria joked casually.

Although he didn't like to talk nonsense, it would be unacceptable if he was at a disadvantage in a conversation with Kal'tsit. After all, he still wanted to take advantage of Rhodes Island, so he couldn't be too weak.

"Don't worry. Unlike those short-sighted scum, I'm quite humane. I originally wanted to recruit Adlai and Harmony, my best friends, but Harmony's condition is somewhat unique, and Ursus lacks sufficiently advanced medical facilities. Therefore, I plan to have them stay in Rhodes Island temporarily, some to receive medical treatment, some to study medicine, and then bring them to my territory to make a difference once everything stabilizes."

"Although their origins are questionable, they are all good girls. It would be a waste to keep them with you." Kal'tsit glanced at Victoria with disdain, but her tone softened considerably: "What about that Hunter Bee? She's one of yours, right?"

"Yes, she's my right-hand man," Victoria admitted frankly. "But she overdosed herself a while ago, and her oripathy is showing signs of flaring up. So I decided to send her to Rhodes Island as a liaison, to help prevent a possible outbreak."

"..." Kal'tsit frowned, looking at Victoria as if he were a stranger. "You are too open-minded to be an Ursusian, let alone an Ursus noble. Maybe I should have a cup of coffee today to make sure I'm sober."
