Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

A bright golden light flashed in Talulah's eyes, and then she rushed in after Suri opened the gate.

Thanks to Drak's excellent physical abilities, the enemy commander in the center of the bridge only reacted and ordered his troops to attack when Talulah had covered two-thirds of the distance of the bridge.

But Talulah didn't give them a chance. With a slide tackle, she landed on the platform in the center of the bridge used to operate the landships. Then, her longsword burst into flames, and as Talulah spun around, she sliced ​​all the soldiers on the platform in two.

The broken surface still bore charred and golden burn marks, showing the immense power of Talulah's attack.

Fortunately, with Suri's help in estimating the distance and range, Talulah did not actually damage any equipment.

Even the enemy commander, who was the opposing side, only had one arm cut off by Talulah.

Talulah kicked away the enemy commander who was trying to take his weapon with his left hand, and pressed her longsword against his neck, her grey-gold eyes gleaming with a captivating light.

"Surrender, or die."

"I surrender."

The enemy commander was very straightforward. After surrendering, he smoothly made a request: "I need treatment; my hand is broken."

"She's quite pragmatic."

Suri said in Talulah's mind, "That's right, why would you risk your life for just a few hundred yuan a month?"

Are the soldiers of the Ursus Empire treated very poorly?

Talulah paused for a moment, then heard Suri's merciless retort:

"Only your soldiers are treated better because of my arrangements. Even the private soldiers of those nobles are only treated slightly better. In most cases, they are just treated as gray livestock."

Suri's words immediately made Talulah frown: 'What do these soldiers eat?'

"Black bread mixed with sawdust, and borscht that's mostly soup. Your soldiers are better off, they probably get some meat with every meal. That's normal, after all, Ursus has been running for so long, it's become too rotten."

Suri was used to this, but Talulah still couldn't get over it.

'Even the soldiers protecting the land are treated so harshly, Ursus really is...'

Talulah was starting to understand why the Imperial Guards were demanding funds. Maybe they really were short of money. After all, the Ursus Empire wasn't ruled by the emperor alone, and if the nobles didn't want to pay, there was nothing the emperor could do.

Therefore, they need a strong and reliable ruler, and Talulah is a good fit.

Although her initial goal was simply to increase Suri's favorability, Talulah has gradually come to recognize the correctness of her decision.

Since this corrupt feudal country needs someone to save it, why can't it be her, who is blessed with destiny (Suri)?

Although it sounds a bit childish, Talulah felt that having Suri made her feel like she was a chosen one, destined to do something great.

Talulah glanced at the system's materialization progress again; it had reached 124%.

Hmm, not bad, progress of 124. I can buy Su Rui that plugin that, with permission, can completely control the host's body.

As Talulah was thinking this, she suddenly saw the subtitle from the higher-level system: "[Only the overflow portion of the materialization progress can be used for purchase]".

...How ruthless! Talulah thought that Suri's terrible attitude towards the superior system was justified.

Volume 2, Chapter 119: Frostnova: Talulah, you know my...

Talulah had taken control of the landship, and the ambushing team had completed the capture and annihilation work. Therefore, after checking to make sure there were no hidden dangers around, Suri relaxed his attention.

Feeling a bit cramped and confined around her, Suri instinctively struggled, only to see Alina and Truth holding her hands beside her.

"Suri, are you done with your work?" Alina vaguely knew about the connection between Suri and Talulah, and asked with a smile after noticing that Suri had come back to her senses.

"Yes, Talulah had a force lying in ambush, but it has been dealt with perfectly."

Suri nodded, and at the same time, Alina and True took the opportunity to casually let go of Suri's hands, as if everything was perfectly natural.

At this moment, Suri could already look up and see Chernobog in the distance, so she directly told Talulah in her mind:

“I can already see Chernobog from here. As for your side, I will hand over control of the landship to you directly.”

As he spoke, Su Rui directly modified the permissions and procedures of the landship, making Talulah the highest authority on the ship, and also deleted the other authority holders, replacing them with Talulah's subordinates.

Okay, be careful over there too.

Talulah nodded, glanced at the control panel in front of her, and scanned her vision as her troops boarded the landship.

After all, with Su Rui's tactics and reconnaissance, there was no need to deploy infantry formations in front of the land-based ships to ensure the roads were clear and free of landmines or similar obstacles.

After all the soldiers boarded the landship and received a report from the sergeant, Talulah nodded, clicked a few times on the control panel on the bridge, and then controlled the landship to start, turn, and move in the direction it had come from.

"Oh, right, I've got a great idea."

As Suri watched Chernobog approach, she chatted with Talulah on the other side of the road.

'Disguise yourself as the enemy's troops and then launch a surprise attack on them? Is that it?' Talulah guessed Suri's idea immediately.

"That's right, this move is called the Trojan Horse."

Suri snapped her fingers:

“I can analyze and disguise the previous communication records, and those people in the city will definitely not notice the problem. Moreover, even if they do notice the problem, I can directly paralyze the mobile city... Suddenly I feel there is no need to use a Trojan horse.”

After thinking for a moment, Su Rui suddenly felt that it would be more fun to paralyze the mobile city and then launch a frontal attack with land-based ships.

However, Talulah politely declined his suggestion: 'Wouldn't it be easier to conquer the city using a Trojan horse? Let's try to avoid direct conflict.'

After all, elite troops are not easy to train; once they die, they are truly dead. There's no way to cultivate them as much as you could, so we still need to try our best to minimize casualties.

"...Okay, we'll do it your way."

Su Rui nodded, then noticed the people waiting for her at the city entrance ahead:

"I've arrived in Chernobog, so I'll have to talk to you later."

'Okay, I understand.'

After ending her conversation with Talulah, Suri looked at Frostnova and Bodrakasty in front of her and couldn't help but sigh:

“The two most important people in Chernobog came to greet me. It was quite a grand occasion.”

Frostnova didn't take Suri's teasing to heart. Instead, she looked the white-haired, golden-eyed young man, Drak, up and down in surprise: "You're Suri?"

In fact, after hearing Su Rui's voice and seeing his approachable appearance and aura, Frostnova was already certain that this was Su Rui.

"Of course it's me. Who else could lead such a force to support you?"

Suri stood with her hands on her hips, striking a pose that seemed perfectly natural, then looked at Bozokasti beside her:

"Looking at it this way, Bozokasti is really tall."

"Many people are much taller than you."

Froststar couldn't help but smile and gently patted Su Rui's head... Well, Su Rui had too many dragon horns on his head, so Froststar opted to sculpt his face instead.

"Alright, this is a public place. Let's settle my team first, and then we can talk."

In front of her own team, Suri didn't act childishly and cause a scene with Talulah. She simply rolled her eyes and waved to the team behind her.

"I know where you've set up camp. No need for introductions, let's go straight there."

"I wasn't planning on introducing it anyway."

Frostnova and Suri bickered, then walked together toward the designated campsite.

The Reunion Movement itself is capable of controlling Chernobog and maintaining order; the troops brought by Suri are there to deal with the invasion of noble private armies.

Therefore, the soldiers brought by Su Rui did not need to perform patrols or similar tasks; their task was simply to train until an enemy attacked.

In the office assigned to Suri at the encampment, Frostnova looked on with surprise at Alina and several Ursus girls who were vaguely surrounding Suri:

Aren't you going to introduce it to me?

“These are the officers in the unit, Alina is my seamstress, and Zao Lu is the quartermaster…”

Suri gave a brief explanation, but Froststar saw it as something else entirely.

The so-called official positions and military ranks were just for show. In Frostnova's understanding, these girls were all guards that Talulah had arranged for Suri.

However, Frostnova didn't expose the truth, but simply nodded: "I'll leave things to you during this time."

"Of course, I will do my job of security."

At this point, Suri's expression also turned serious. The handsome young man in military uniform sat upright in front of Frostnova, his golden eyes shining brightly. His serious demeanor made Frostnova momentarily stunned.

"Ah, um, I see. Well then, there's a welcome party for you tonight. Would you like to come? Although supplies are a bit scarce in Chernobyl, the food is still pretty good."

"Of course." Upon hearing that there was food, Su Rui nodded subconsciously, then looked somewhat puzzled:

“I remember that, under my planning, Chernobog has become self-sufficient to a certain extent.”

After all, there are many unemployed people in the city, and a lot of unused land that has gone unnoticed due to planning issues. With Suri's planning, these resources can be used to produce food.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a lack of food.

"It's just a bit lacking compared to what you're in, Duke Zero, but basic food is still plentiful."

Volume 2, Chapter 120: Froststar: I Don't Want to Let Go of This Warmth

The party in Chernoborg was held in the hall of a nobleman's mansion, and it wasn't particularly extravagant except for the delicious food prepared by the chef.

Perhaps this was Frostnova's insistence. Suri didn't say anything about it, but glanced at the girls she had brought with her.

Alina and Truth seemed to be chatting, occasionally taking a bite to eat. There was a book between them, and they even asked the Reunion Movement executive next to them, known as the Kingkiller, a question.

Early dew adapted well to the environment and did not comment on the relatively simple food.

Winter and Summer were already drinking and fooling around with a group of people. If Su Rui hadn't been able to see what was going on, she probably would have thought they were really angry and fighting.

As for Gumi... Gumi was having a pleasant conversation with the chef, honing their culinary skills with a limited selection of ingredients.

"How does it feel? Thanks to your previous planning, although the variety of ingredients is not very rich, people will definitely not go hungry."

Froststar approached Su Rui, deliberately moving a little closer to him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"That's good. Once Talulah has sorted this out and trade has developed, there won't be a shortage of other consumables here."

Suri nodded, showing no unusual reaction to Frostnova's approach.

Suri's composure piqued Froststar's curiosity, so she released even more chilling energy around her.

Now Suri realized that Frostnova was doing it on purpose, but he only turned his head to glance at her, his golden eyes only sweeping over her for a moment, which made the girl nervous instead.

"You're deliberately trying to cause trouble, aren't you? I'd like to eat something hot right now... but hold onto this for me."

As Suri spoke, she went to a distance, picked up a glass of ice cream with alcohol, and shoved it into Froststar's hand.

Then, slightly away from Froststar, I picked up a steaming bowl of borscht and began to enjoy it.

Froststar didn't seem to mind Suri's seemingly distant actions. Suri was too easy to understand; he meant no harm.

How does the borscht taste?

Froststar was curious about Suri's thoughts on such a meager and unappetizing meal.

"It's pretty good, quite delicious."

Suri glanced at Frostnova and said somewhat helplessly, "I'm not actually that picky, but if there's something better to eat, would you choose to eat sawdust bread?"

Suri's words made sense, and Froststar nodded: "It seems I misunderstood you a little before."

"Of course, I'm not the kind of pampered aristocrat."

Suri glanced at Frostnova with some dissatisfaction: "I've suffered a lot before too."

It's hard to say. With your personality, would you really be someone who suffers a lot? Frostnova remained skeptical, but she didn't say much, only managing a smile.

"Tsk, what's with that expression?"

Seeing Frostnova's somewhat strange expression, Suri said with displeasure:

“I’ve also seen the treatment of Talulah’s troops, the private soldiers of those nobles, and the Ursus Army Group. Relatively speaking, the situation here can be considered above average. I’m talking about the treatment of all the soldiers.”

"Really? What are the treatments like for the other teams?" Frostnova asked curiously.

Simply put, Frostnova's treatment is even second only to the treatment of the third-ranked noble private soldiers.

If we were to evaluate it using borscht as an example, the monotony decreases progressively from rich in ingredients to a simple soup.

The description was quite straightforward and easy to understand. Su Rui felt that her description was very detailed, while Froststar tried her best to nod expressionlessly, so as not to show any impropriety because of Su Rui's thoughtful expression.

It's worth mentioning that even Bozokasti participated in the party. His size was quite large in the banquet hall, and it was very noticeable when he found a place to sit and eat in the corner.
