Opening an office in Taila

"Lin Yuxia, what's the situation now?" Song Yufeng asked on the phone.

Now Lin Yuxia is in charge of the temporary command center set up in Jilin City, responsible for observing the specific situation in several other directions at any time.

"There doesn't seem to be any movement of soldiers, and no police coming to arrest us. Instead, we have two pieces of good news. One is that we have reached an agreement with the police in western Ursus. They have decided to follow Minghuang's command. This is of course within expectations. After all, we pay their salaries. The other good news is that about 200,000 people have already arrived in western Ursus. They are all our supporters. I have sent people to screen their identities to prevent spies from sneaking in." Lin Yuxia said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"That's nothing. By the way, those people who were originally in Longmen and have now been transferred here also want to contribute. Is that okay?"

"Of course, it would be great for us if people like Lao Li and Chen Sir joined us."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. By the way, how's the situation over there?"

"I was planning to visit the commander-in-chief of the Ursus Fifth Army. Oh, he's coming. Let's talk later." Song Yufeng hung up the phone, and in front of him walked a tough-looking veteran in his sixties.

"I'm still wondering when you'll show up, Grand Duke Desia." Song Yufeng said with a smile.

Dexia narrowed his eyes, and then said in a cold voice: "Song Yufeng, you are now a wanted criminal in the court. How dare you show up here? You are really not afraid of death."

Instantly, the surrounding guards drew their swords and surrounded Song Yufeng, but Song Yufeng remained calm. He said, "Grand Duke Desia, I've heard that since ancient times, those who have left their names in history have always listened to advice, and those who have achieved great things have always valued talent. Now I have something to say to you, and it concerns the future of Ursus. Now that you have achieved great things, I think you naturally value talent. Then, the only thing left is to leave your name in history. Don't you want to do that?"

Dexia glanced at Song Yufeng, then pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and the soldiers were no longer on alert.

"I know your character, and I also feel that there are some problems with your arrest. You came to visit me specially this time, so naturally you have to tell me some secrets. Come in and talk." Dexia turned and walked into the hall, and Song Yufeng followed him in.

"Please sit down, Song Yufeng. I'd really like to hear what you have to say." Dexia said.

"Then I'll be frank. You are a reformist, a new aristocrat who has always stood on the side of the emperor. In order to make Ursus more prosperous, you embarked on the path of reform. However, now, Ursus is in danger. Your Majesty has listened to evil words and completely ignored the general trend of reform. This is because there are treacherous ministers who are blocking your eyes and ears and affecting your judgment. Otherwise, Your Majesty would never agree to so many things that are harmful to the infected." Song Yufeng said.

"Well, I haven't been able to see His Majesty these past few days. I think there's something wrong with Marianne."

"That's right. Marianne has deceived Your Majesty and disrupted government. Most of these decrees were initiated by Marianne. She should be removed! How many officials are still clear-headed and committed to reform and Ursus? Once the infected rise up in rebellion, chaos will inevitably ensue. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The examples of the Reunion Movement and the Snowfield Guerrillas are still fresh in our minds. Such matters must be taken seriously."

"You are right. So, the purpose of your coming here this time is not just to lecture me, right?" asked Grand Duke Desia.

"Of course, I hope that you and the other Fourth Army will remain neutral in the upcoming conflict between us and the Ursus Empire," said Song Yufeng.

"Oh, remain neutral? Interesting. Do you think Ursus will take military action against you?"

"Have to guard against it."

"Heh, but even so, you still have to face six armies."

"It would be great if I could relieve some of the pressure." Song Yufeng said with a wry smile.

"Song Yufeng, I know you're kind to the infected and the poor. With your help, Ursus has become much more stable. I believe you're also someone who insists on reform. The commander of the Fourth Army and I will do our best to help you coordinate."

"If that's the case, that's great. Thank you, Grand Duke Desia!"

Just as the two were talking in a cheerful atmosphere, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside and said, "Grand Duke! Grand Duke! His Majesty's latest order!"

"read."

"Your Majesty demands that, from today onwards, all infected individuals must leave Ursus within a week. Otherwise, they will be treated as rebels and executed. Each army group will carry out this task and eliminate all infected individuals!"

The atmosphere froze.

Song Yufeng and Dexia looked at each other, and both of them could see each other's shock.

This is another day that will go down in history.

This marked the beginning of turmoil in Ursus.
