From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

Speaker Witte walked in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, the people from Kosice have brought back the news."

"So, have you found the Yan Kingdom princess named Tallulah? Or is Duke Koschei refusing to comply with my orders? Just tell me directly. I hope it's good news."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Feodor's eyes. As long as what Witte said was not good news, he would let the internal security guards take off Kosice's head.

"Um... Your Majesty, news from the Koschei Territory indicates that Grand Duke Koschei was assassinated by his adopted daughter Tallulah eight years ago..."

A grand duke had been dead for eight years, but there was no news from the Castle of Saint Stein. The territory was still running as usual without even a single disturbance.

Witt would rather believe that this was a plan for Koschei to fake his death and escape punishment, but after searching the entire Koschei Territory, the fact was still the same as above: Koschei was really dead.

"You mean, a duchy's Grand Duke died, and with no one to take over, the duchy managed to operate stably for eight years without any problems?"

Fyodor was so angry that he laughed. All kinds of weird things could happen in the vast territory of Ursus, but he was more concerned about something else now.

"Where's Tallulah? She killed Kosciuszko, and then where's she?"

As long as he can find Tallulah, Feodor will have a reason to stop Yan State from taking military action and will also have the qualifications to negotiate.

"Evidence suggests that Tallulah may have already been infected when she killed Koscheiche, and she likely fled to the tundra afterwards."

"...Great! She escaped to the tundra alone. Where should I dig her body out? Oh, maybe there's no body. Her bones might have been gnawed by wild beasts."

Upon hearing that Tallulah might have gone to the tundra, Feodor, one of the few Ursus emperors who cared about the status of the tundra infected, became somewhat self-destructive.

The life span of an infected person in the tundra is measured in months, and he doesn't think Tallulah is still alive.

"Your Majesty, please cheer up. This Tallulah might still be alive. I've followed the clues and extracted some intelligence about the army group near the tundra and... the Noble Mine. In recent years, an illegal infected organization called the Reunion Movement has emerged in the tundra, and their leader seems to call herself Tallulah."

Speaker Witte showed Feodor information that was outdated for who knows how long. There was nothing he could do about it. The tundra was too desolate and it was inevitable that information was blocked. The fact that Saint Steed Castle was able to find this information was already a result of Witte's diligence.

"What are you waiting for! Go capture that Tallulah... No, bring her back to me!"

It was a rare good news, and Fyodor looked a little excited.

But before Witt could make any move, a plain and elegant voice came from the door.

"You're right. I should definitely bring my disobedient daughter back first..."

Chapter 193: The Shocking Changes in Saint Jun Castle

"who!"

Fyodor shouted suddenly, and the inner guards hiding in the shadows behind him also jumped out.

"Your Majesty, aren't you looking for me? You can call me Kosice or 'The Immortal Black Snake'."

Facing the attack of the inner guards, Kashena did not dodge or evade. Behind her, one, no, several inner guards came out. Amid the sound of armor clashing, the inner guards loyal to Feodor were taken down.

"I never thought that Dayan would make a fuss about something that happened over 20 years ago. My useless adopted daughter has really caused a lot of trouble for Ursus."

"..."

Feodor's face looked grim. He had pressed the alarm button under the desk when he shouted just now. Normally, the guards should rush into the Splendid Palace at this time and subdue anyone with suspicious whereabouts.

But after several minutes, there was still silence outside. Even the messenger who was supposed to be on standby outside the office was silent.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have no intention of harming you. I just didn't want anyone to interrupt our conversation, so I cleared the area a bit."

Kashena comforted Fyodor as if she were coaxing a child. There was not a trace of emotion on her cold face, as if she had done something insignificant.

"…'Undead Black Snake'? I thought it was just a trick used by the Koschei Territory to deceive its people."

Fyodor stared at Kasheina closely. He had heard a little about the legend of the 'Immortal Black Snake', but he just regarded it as a character created by Duke Koschei to facilitate the management of the territory. After all, for some unruly people who were difficult to control, the most labor-saving way to manage them was to create fear in their hearts.

"Now it seems that I was naive. It turns out that there is a manipulator like you behind Ursus..."

"You don't have to be so hostile to me. We are all fighting for a better future for Ursus, right?"

Kashena glanced at the loyal guard who was still struggling on the ground, pulled over a chair without any hesitation, and sat down opposite Fyodor.

"A bright future? I only see your actions dragging Ursus into an abyss of no return. The end of Gaul will be repeated in Ursus."

Feodor looked at her coldly. If there weren't so many internal guards around Kashena, he would have picked up the Ursus heirloom scimitar at his waist and cut the Ursus sinner in front of him into two halves.

"...It was indeed my mistake that the Talulah incident gave Yan Nation an opportunity. However, I came to see you this time to make up for this mistake."

Speaking of Tallulah, Kashena's expressionless face rarely showed some guilt. She really did not expect that Yan Country would become so radical because of the new true dragon ascending the throne, but fortunately she still had a new plan.

"Please give the order. Command Saint Fort to begin moving immediately, collect supplies from surrounding cities, and recall all armies, as well as..."

Kashena's finger gently tapped a certain spot on the map spread out on the table, and Fyodor's eyes suddenly shrank.

"Recall the Heavy Armored Wendigo Corps to the Far North Defense Line..."

The Heavy-Armored Wendigo Legion is the true top elite in the Ursus army. Compared with the difficulty of manufacturing the inner guards, although the pure-blooded Wendigos have gradually disappeared, there are still many half-blooded Wendigos in Ursus. Only three of these heavily armored half-blooded Wendigos are enough to capture a small city.

But at the same time, the Heavy Armored Wendigo Legion is also the main force guarding the defense line of the evil demons in the far north. If this legion is transferred away, the evil demons in the far north of Ursus will no longer be blocked and can move south at will.

"What nonsense are you talking about! If we mobilize them, Ursus will..."

The land that has been infected by the evil spirits will only become a wasteland. If the heavy armored Wendigo Legion is recalled, whether it can stop the current Terra Unified Council or not, Ursus itself will have to lose a large area of ​​land first.

Although Fyodor was not familiar with military strategy, he would not issue such an outrageous order.

"What we want is for the evil demons to move south. Your Majesty..."

Kashena's voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, making people's hair stand on end. She picked up a letter for help that Fyodor had not yet finished writing on the table, and seemed to sneer at it.

"The throne is vacant, and Victoria now has eight heads. Even if some dukes are not stupid and understand the principle of "lips and teeth are cold", if their armies are damaged in Ursus, the Grand Duke, who has preserved his power, may stab them in the back and annex them. In this case, if we want them to send troops, we need to gather all eight dukes to discuss it. By the time they finish discussing it, Ursus will be finished."

"Letnia has been severely weakened after the Witch King's calamity. The Black and White Queens have many opponents, but they are unable to take action."

"So your idea is to abandon the Far North Defense Line and let the people of Ursus become food for the evil demons?"

Fyodor's eyes widened, and his pupils, which had become cloudy from working for a long time, seemed to be dancing with anger.

Facing Fyodor's anger, Kasheina stared at Fyodor and said word by word:

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others, Your Majesty. Reduce your forces, stockpile supplies, and conserve your strength. Yan Country and Columbia will sooner or later encounter the evil demons heading south. Even though these two countries have experience fighting against evil demons, a sudden attack will be enough to cause them heavy losses."

Kashena ran her slender fingers across the map and explained her plan to Fyodor.

"Have Fort Saint move ahead of time. We will gather our army at the border of Casimir. Once the coalition forces and the demons encounter each other, we will assault Casimir and make the fertile plains here the new homeland of Ursus. While it's a shame to abandon such a large swath of Ursus territory and its people, we are facing a four-nation coalition, and sacrifices are inevitable."

"Crazy...crazy! You are such a lunatic!!!"

If Kashena's plan goes according to plan, except for the Holy Castle and a few cities in the south of Ursus, hundreds of millions of people in the north of Ursus will be sacrificed as bait to slow down the pace of the evil spirits.

Fedor's hands were shaking violently. He pulled out the infusion needle from his left hand and swung his fist at Kashena regardless. He wanted to beat this devil in human skin to death right here and now.

The fist failed to touch Kashena at all, and the inner guard following Kashena had already blocked her.

The long sword at the inner guard's waist was already unsheathed and placed in front of Feodor. If he was not the Emperor of Ursus, the sword would have cut his throat by now.

"I am the Emperor of Ursus! You..."

Fyodor punched the guard in the face, but faced with this non-threatening attack, the guard did not react at all, only replying with slightly distorted words:

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Ursus Empire, but now, the one who can rewrite the Ursus predicament and bring Ursus victory is His Excellency 'Black Snake'."

This is an answer that really fits the identity of an internal security guard.

The Internal Guards are not loyal to anyone, they are only loyal to Ursus. They will help whoever can make Ursus stronger, and they will work for whoever can rewrite Ursus's predicament.

"you…"

This was simply a humiliation. Fedor was so angry that he drew the scimitar from his waist and was ready to fight to the death with the inner guard and Kashena.

boom! ! !

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the Brilliant Palace office shattered, and several more internal guards rushed in. The accumulated spells exploded, and the two teams of internal guards quickly fought in a group.

"go!"

Because there were important people present, the guards on both sides did not dare to use their full strength, for fear of breaking the restraint suits and causing contamination leakage.

Black waves burst out from the hands of the internal guards who were protecting Fyodor again. The two internal guards beside him grabbed Fyodor and Speaker Witte and ran towards the gap.

There are only so many inner guards loyal to the emperor left. Their only choice now is to protect Feodor and leave the Holy Castle, and then make plans.

"Chase…"

The internal security guard beside Kashena chased after him through the gap in the office, and she leisurely sat down in Fyodor's seat and picked up the pen on the table.

"Contact the various armies. I will not let Ursus follow the same path as Gaul. Ursus will surely become great again!"

...

Chapter 194 Columbia and Casimir

Compared with the Yanka coalition forces, which are full of martial virtues, the situation in Columbia and Casimir is more complicated.

Eliminating the less obedient military did solve the president's troubles once and for all, but it also did affect the organization of the Colombian army.

The newly promoted officers were also unable to quickly integrate all the troops, so the army sent by Colombia was really just a large number of high-speed warships and landships.

Although there are some elite Columbia humanoid Gundams wearing power armor to supplement the combat force, compared with the three armies on the Ursus border, there are nearly one million infantrymen.

On Casimir's side, due to the implementation of new policies internally, he dealt with many knights who were corrupted by the Commercial Federation, as well as old knight nobles who could have been recruited but were stubborn. The newly selected knights had not yet completed their training and were not qualified to serve as the main force on the battlefield.

In this situation, facing the large number of Ursus army, the Gokar coalition was inherently at a relative disadvantage in terms of manpower.

But there is no way around it. Not every country can cultivate land for 200 years like Yan State and accumulate a huge fortune.

In order to make up for the shortage of troops and reduce losses, Si Ye's projection will even appear in advance, holding the King Casimir's sword [Gold and Shadow], transforming into Nightmare Khan in the form of Xiao Ma Ge, and charging towards Ursus.

But now, in the disputed area between Ursus and the Casimir Plain, two huge fleets are facing each other. Both sides have made preparations, but no one has fired the first shot.

Columbia's high-speed warships benefit from the pre-civilization AI, the Great President, and are more advanced in combat systems and concepts.

Compared with the ancient naval gun bombardment, the high-speed warships of the Colombian fleet are more flexible. After sacrificing part of the artillery power, the artillery range has been greatly improved. If the Ursus army takes the lead in launching an attack, they will be able to use speed and range to continuously fly kites, thereby killing the enemy without damage.

But on the other hand, if the Colombian fleet attacked first, the tough and strong Ursus Army Group fleet would seize the opportunity when the power reactor output was reduced when the high-speed warships opened fire, withstand the artillery fire and close the distance, dragging Colombia and Casimir into the meat-mincing battle that Ursus is best at.

Both sides have their concerns, so it is natural to be in a stalemate. Anyway, it is not yet the time for the simultaneous attack agreed upon by the Terra Unified Council. Commander Columbia is naturally happy to waste time here, thinking that the longer he delays, the more troops in the rear will recover their combat effectiveness.

"You look like you want to fly over and tear everyone across from you apart."

Margaret rested her sword and looked into the distance; the smell of war made her heart beat faster.
