People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

The emperor's blade remained silent, crossing out a name from the list before he stood up and retreated back into the shadows.

He had to inform His Majesty, Speaker Witt, and Mr. Ernst.

Some of the names on the list seem to need to be changed.

"The coerced" lack the courage to confront the powerful, the ability to uphold their principles, and even the will to remain cowardly to the end.

But when it comes to wielding their swords against the weak, they show absolutely no mercy.

"How can we possibly manage Ursus while we're surrounded by these insects?"

"Suppress the counter-revolutionaries with heavy blows!"

"Integrate everything, cleanse the filth! Only then can Ursus be great again!"

Chapter 921 The Cleansing Begins

The Rainbow Team arrived in Chernobog earlier than Ernst.

They were traveling on a Rhodes Island landship, while Ernst was traveling on a vehicle provided by the Emperor of Ursus.

The reason is actually quite simple. Even if Kal'tsit is incredibly bold, it's unlikely she would send several center-backs to Rhodes Island; the risk would be far too high!

Moreover, to be fair, she herself has committed crimes. The death of Grand Duke Vanya is still not definitively settled, and she is probably still on the Ursus traitor purge list. The Inner Guard has a reason to take action against her, and indeed they have done so before.

Back then, it was just an old internal security guard who came!

Therefore, after Ernst helped obtain the passage and transfer permits within Ursus, Kal'tsit took the lead and headed to Chernobog with Rainbow Squad and Rhodes Island headquarters.

Ernst did not stop him.

He helped Fyodor in order to stabilize Ursus, but he also knew that Fyodor's plan was highly uncertain.

This uncertainty lies not in the success rate of the plan, but in the potential costs it may incur.

Kal'tsit's analysis was spot on. The plan was virtually guaranteed to succeed. Although Fyodor was using underhanded tactics and entrapment, as the emperor, he and Ernst, as the secretary-general, had the power to intimidate others. In addition, Grand Duke Baikal genuinely wanted to rebel, so this situation was like Jiang Taigong fishing—those who were willing to take the bait would be caught.

The only concern is how much Chernobog, or rather Ursus, will have to pay for this.

The cost of life!

To be fair, Ernst didn't want anyone to die. But he also knew very well that any reform inevitably involves bloodshed and sacrifice. Ursus was not like Sherag; a small ship could easily turn around. The inertia of Ursus was terrifying, so terrifying that even as Fyodor desperately tried to apply the brakes, the ship was already slowly crashing into the iceberg ahead.

If we don't change things now, we'll end up like a second Victoria, or even a second Bolivar.

Rather than watching Ursus people fight tooth and nail over questions like "What kind of Ursus are you?", or watching populism drain the last drop of life from the country and drag the entire Terra into war, it's better to pull back from the brink in time.

Therefore, Ernst acquiesced to Kelsey's actions.

They also arranged for the Rainbow Squad to follow Kal'tsit.

彩虹小队8都是5地球人类，如7果单论身体素6质的6话，他3们甚至要4比恩斯4特还弱上一点2！

This is a very frustrating fact. So frustrating that it can be summed up in one sentence:

Ash Chariot, your tactical coordination is indeed very strong, but it still requires too much skill to operate. Do you have any simple yet powerful units that you would recommend?

Some brothers, yes, you can choose Terra Superman, Liberi, Felin, Luper, Pero, and even more awesome Vayvan, Draco, Agor, Dragon, that's how we numerical monsters are!

Of course, that's what they say, but the Rainbow Team has many skills that Ernst doesn't have at all, and that can play an important role in this environment!

Intelligence gathering, espionage, special operations, decapitation strikes, and, although Ernst doesn't want to see that happen, it's highly likely to occur, so he has to be prepared for it—suppressing riots!

Let them go with Kal'tsit ahead of time. Firstly, they can confirm the Doctor's location and condition. Secondly, they can act as informants to deal with any unexpected situations that may arise.

Ash accepted the mission.

During the days when Ernst and Fyodor were making their plans, she led her small group on a general tour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

She felt she already had some understanding of the situation in Ursus.

But when she confidently led her team to Chernobog, ready to officially carry out their first "special operations mission" since arriving in this other world, she realized that she had been a little too naive.

"I had an overly optimistic view of the moral standards of the Ursus people."

Ash's voice was somewhat muffled; she braced herself on the table, gritting her teeth.

"According to professional ethics, we should not have any special evaluation of our employers and mission objectives."

"But now I think Ernst is a fucking saint."

The blackboard behind Er Huijin was now covered with clues, which were the intelligence that Blitzkrieg, Chariot and Frostflower had gathered over the past two days.

The most collected were from the Rescue Chariot, as its accent was similar to Ursus, making it the fastest to learn, and it also sounded most like an Ursus, giving it a natural advantage in a country where Ursus were the main ethnic group. Frostbloom was second, and Blitzkrieg was last.

Generally speaking, the more intelligence you gather, the clearer the situation should become, but this time, Ash miscalculated.

She did gather a great deal of intelligence, but this intelligence was simply...

"The number of infected people in Chernobog has surged, and many of them have clearly received military training and are mentally unstable."

"Because of their intervention, the unrest within the city is escalating. The military and police forces are already stretched thin."

"Yesterday alone, the blitz found as many as twenty bodies in the alleys, scattered throughout Chernobog's slums, industrial areas, and even the wealthy and central areas."

"The infected people are trying to spread the infection. They've gone mad; they're even attacking children!"

Ash tapped the table, the thuds sounding like heavy hammer blows to the heart.

Flash's expression was extremely solemn.

He brought this intelligence back.

He didn't collect it; he saw it with his own eyes.

An infected person, suspected to be a soldier, forcibly abducted students on their way home from school into alleys or street corners, forcing them to swallow Originium fragments. If the students refused, he would use his own infected crystals to scratch them!

Blitzkrieg discovered the situation a little too late; he didn't have time to save the child. By the time he ambushed and killed the mentally unstable soldier from behind, the child had already been infected.

He tried to take him to the hospital, but the child grabbed him in fear.

Blitzkrieg felt he would never forget what that child said for the rest of his life.

He clutched his sleeve, his face filled with even greater terror than when he had been held hostage by the infected soldier. He trembled all over, almost pleading as he spoke to him:

"Please don't take me to the hospital!"

"Let me go home, please, let me go home!"

At the time, Flash didn't understand why, and only regretted that the doctor wasn't there, so he could only say based on the common knowledge about Oripathy that he had learned recently:

"You have an acute infection. If you don't go to the hospital now, you might die!"

As a result, the other party immediately knelt down before him, grabbed his sleeve, and refused to move an inch no matter what!

"Let me go home, I might die! But if you take me to the hospital, I'm definitely going to die!"

"Not only am I doomed, but my family is doomed too!"

In Ursus, harboring or concealing infected individuals is a serious crime! The punishment ranges from exile to implicated family members!

Of course, in reality, there are often thresholds for the enforcement of the law. For the powerful and wealthy, this law will not be truly enforced. They can still keep infected slave laborers, and illegal mines can openly recruit infected people. They have enough power and wealth, so this threshold means a door for them.

But for these nine children, he obviously didn't have that kind of power and wealth, so this threshold was just an obstacle for him.

An insurmountable obstacle.

Blitzkrieg finally agreed and took him home.

He stood below the low, old-fashioned residential building and heard screams, cries, and angry shouts coming from above.

He wanted to do something, so he left the child a Rhodes Island business card and, with the intelligence, returned to the makeshift operations room as quickly as possible.

He couldn't agree more with what Ash said.

Compared to Sherag, Chernobog is now a living hell. While Marquis Boris and his ilk are still maintaining a facade of peace, chaos is spreading at an alarming rate, almost completely out of control.

Ernst's past actions of confining them for a period of time, which initially drew some criticism from them, now, after seeing the real Terra, look back and think he was a saint!

"And that's not all, I also received another troublesome message."

“Those people, they not only kill children, they kill their own people. In some parts of Chernobog, they have piled up many infected corpses!”

On Earth, this isn't really a big problem.

It's only early spring, but the weather in Ursus is far from warming up, so even with many corpses, they won't decompose too quickly. Even if one wanted to use methods that would harm the environment but not the people, it wouldn't be easy to successfully instigate a plague within the city.

But this is Terra!

On this land where people are the foundation, once the source stone, which is the underlying logic, merges with humanity, it can create many incredible miracles!

For example, the breathtaking Originium Materials Science! For example, the incredible Originium Engineering! And for example, the ingenious Originium Chemistry!

Origin Petrochemical Engineering, Chapter 1, Section 2: Prohibited Items.

The use of infected corpses as Originium explosives is prohibited.

Methods of making money are all written in the criminal law. Similarly, the simplest method of **6** production method is actually written in the fourth prohibited item!

"What place do they want to bomb?"

Ash looked at the chariot that had spoken.

The chariot opened its mouth in a deep, muffled voice:

"School!"

Shuanghua couldn't help but ask:

"Why the school? What grudge do these CS-savvy idiots have against the kids?"

“I don’t know, but the person I interrogated was talking about the school.”

The chariot was also furious, but his anger was restrained; the more silent he remained, the more intense his rage became.

Ashes asked again:

Why didn't you find out the exact location?

"That person was also infected, and it was an acute complication, already in the late stage. *Russian profanity*"

The chariot spat out a curse.

He also wanted to ask more in-depth questions.

But that thing couldn't hold up!

It's not surprising that an infected person could explode at any time! What's more, that guy had absolutely no will to live. When he died, he even tried to hug the tank and give it a "parting gift"!

In other words, the tanks were quick to dodge!

Ash seemed to have thought of something. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and called another group of people.

That was the internal security force's communication method.

Ernst had provided this information to them before they arrived in Chernobog, saying that if they found evidence of crimes committed by the Marquis of Boris or the Grand Duke of Baikal, they could contact this place directly and hand over the evidence to them.

This way, perhaps Chernobog will bleed less!

The call was answered very slowly. After a long time, almost when the unanswered tone was about to play, the other end finally picked up the call.

"Hush-huh-"

The chilling aura seemed to seep into Ash's very bones through the microphone, causing even the seasoned agent to shiver.

But she immediately asked:

"Is Mr. Ernst going to visit a school?"

"Hiss—whoosh [綺四3六腫Zhuanqun：——]"

There was no reply from the other side, so Ash continued:

"Something has happened in Chernobog. The school Mr. Ernst is supposed to visit may have been targeted by a suicide bomber planted by an extremist infected!"

"you"

Before she could finish speaking, the other party hung up.

Ash sighed.

Being unfamiliar with the place and its people, there was indeed limited what they could do. Although she could deduce from her inferences that if the other party wanted to create chaos, it was most likely targeting Ernst, Chernobog was so large that she couldn't figure out which specific school Ernst would visit.

Unless she goes directly to Marquis Boris, she will have to check each house one by one!

But there was absolutely no way Marquis Boris would tell Ash. Ash had just watched that politician's face on television declaring "everything is fine in Chernobog"!

Then we'll have to resort to the brute force method!
