From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

"Feodor, how dare you betray the glory of Ursus!!!"

Kasheina really didn't expect that letting Fyodor escape would become such a failure. She couldn't understand why Fyodor, as the legitimate heir to the Ursus royal family, would bow to the ridiculous Terra Unified Council.

Feodor chose to surrender. Although the royalists who followed his orders were puzzled, they quickly stopped the confrontation with the Four-Nation Alliance, which made the cards in Black Snake's hand even more limited.

This was not the end. Fyodor had stabbed her in the back, defining the war faction as "rebels" again. Great, now the people's hearts were getting out of control.

To this day, all Black Snake can control are three half-crippled pro-war armies that have not yet completed their reinforcements and are about to prepare for battle, as well as a small group of old nobles who may betray him at any time.

It can be said that it has reached the end of the road.

Black Snake does have many backup plans in Ursus, and many dormant Black Snakes have not been activated, but Feodor has made the existence of Black Snake public, and there will definitely be repeated cleanups in Ursus in the future. In this case, the backup plans can be regarded as non-existent.

Leaving Ursus? Where could the immortal being, claiming to be Ursus's will, go without Ursus's support?

“Damn it… Damn it!!!”

In order to vent her anger, Kasheina slammed the table without any grace.

Kashena didn't understand why Fyodor, the coward who surrendered, got a chance to live, while she, who did practical things for Ursus, became a sinner in the eyes of the people of Ursus and an ambitious rebel.

Why is it that in such a big country like Ursus, the more people do, the more they suffer?

"Huh, even though Fyodor is indecisive, he wouldn't actually give up on Ursus. So, the Four Nations Alliance doesn't intend to divide Ursus up like they did with Gaul... Then maybe I can do the same?"

Kashena was still rational. The wisdom accumulated over thousands of years only allowed her to lose her composure for a brief moment. Then she began to seriously consider the possibility of faking her death to escape and surrender.

After all, as long as the four-nation coalition does not kill them all and as long as Ursus still exists, temporary gains and losses are nothing in the eyes of Black Snake.

If Ursus had not followed in the footsteps of Gaul, the Quadruple Alliance would not have made a wasted trip. After the attack on Ursus was completed, Ursus would undoubtedly have needed to pay a large amount of materials and wealth as compensation.

According to Fyodor's character, he will definitely choose to clean up the pro-war factions and use their wealth to fill the holes. Although this will affect the overall combat effectiveness of Ursus, it can be regarded as a solution to Ursus's chronic disease.

"Tsk, doesn't this just align with Fyodor's ideas... Could it be that those four countries are using this promise in exchange for Fyodor's cooperation?"

Kashena frowned, thinking about what she could use.

"Don't think about it. Ursus does need a 'black snake', but it definitely won't be you."

A slightly teasing voice suddenly rang out in the quiet office. The decorative fireplace in the office suddenly slid open to the other side, and Tallulah, wrapped in a cloak, walked out of the secret passage. The little black snake on her shoulder was jumping and mocking Kashena.

“…What the hell are you…”

Kashena ignored Tallulah's hostile gaze and focused her attention on the black snake.

The Originium technique of 'Black Snake' involves will interference and cognition, assisted by hypnosis, which can give rise to the will of the Black Snake in the hearts of those who identify with the Black Snake's philosophy, and eventually be replaced by the Black Snake.

But Kashena didn't feel that the black snake on Tallulah's body was similar to herself at all. It was an immortal, not a beast master, so how could it have the form of a snake!

Could it be that it couldn't possess Tallulah and couldn't find a Phaedia beast to kiss in the tundra?

"Tsk! You foolish fellow, this is a perfect body bestowed upon me by the Lord. A fool like you will never understand."

Seeing Kashena's reaction, the black snake that wanted to laugh at her shook its tail in boredom. In its eyes, it would undoubtedly be a waste of time and effort to expect short-sighted guys like Ursus to understand Si Ye's greatness.

"...I don't know what the accident was, and who the adult you're referring to is..."

Kashena ignored Black Snake's provocation. She turned her gaze back to Tallulah and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"But I still have to thank you for bringing my lovely daughter back to me. Although it's hard to be perfect in such a hurry, it's enough for her to escape Fyodor's reckoning!"

The crisp ringing of bells echoed in the Brilliant Palace, and almost in an instant, the last group of internal guards who followed Kashena appeared in the office.

The cold pressure from the Inner Guards caused the temperature in the office to drop sharply. Talulah drew the sword from her waist and used the Originium skill derived from the blood of the red dragon to ignite the air, but she was unable to break through the aura condensed by the Inner Guards.

"Hey! Think of a solution!"

Talulah thought that the black snake on her body would only need a moment to deal with the black snake in the Holy Steed Castle, but the broken snake started a verbal battle with the opponent. Now, with so many internal guards, how could a small Draco like her deal with them?

"7, 8...11, it seems these are the last of the inner guards you have, apart from the neutral ones. It's a good idea to deal with them all at once."

Compared to the panicked Tallulah, the black snake on her shoulder was leisurely counting the number of the inner guards. Although it was a pity, after this battle, the legend of the Ursus inner guards might come to an end.

A tiny blue-purple scale suddenly appeared on the black snake's body. The guards who wanted to subdue Tallulah were fixed in mid-air by an invisible force. Spots of fluorescent light illuminated the entire office.

"How can I eat you without any trump card?"

Just like Black Snake said before, Tallulah has a special identity. Even if Black Snake thinks he has made every possible plan, he still needs to have a foolproof trump card.

So it turned to Si Ye's projection for help...

How to say it, if Si Ye's projection is in standby mode, it is managed by AI. As long as the request is reasonable, does not trigger any keywords, and does not exceed the scope of AI's authority, it will basically be met.

Thus, the black snake obtained such a psychic scale that compressed a set of [Evil Dessert Making Process]. Kasheina used the inner guards to deal with it and Tallulah, which was just right.

Of course, Black Snake has other plans. For example, if Kashena calls the guards, Snake Scales will collude with the few remaining royalists in the city to create a big riot; if Kashena takes action herself, Black Snake can drag Kashena into the mental battlefield through cannibalism, allowing Tallulah to take the opportunity to help Kashena open her eyes.

In short, when it comes to dealing with himself, Black Snake has carried out his plan to the extreme.

Perhaps he had become more and more adept at making evil demons in the Far North. When this [Evil Demon Dessert Production Process] was launched, black air began to leak from the bodies of the surrounding inner guards. The grotesque and twisted wails seemed to have turned the Brilliant Palace into a ghost den.

But this wailing came and went quickly. After a while, only the internal security equipment was left in the office. The inside of the equipment had been rolled into a smooth ball, rolling with a slight black gas.

“You…what did you do!!!”

Kashena's facial expression changed from confidence to terror in an instant. In Kashena's wide-open eyes, it seemed as if a panicked black snake was swimming.

The black snake on Tallulah's shoulder seized this opportunity and jumped up. Its originally material black body gradually turned into smoke and drilled directly into Kashena's eyes.

"what!!!"

Kasheina let out a scream and then fell silent. Tallulah also felt as if her head was being pulled and she felt dizzy.

With such a loud commotion, any soldier guarding the Brilliant Palace who was not deaf could react. A team of elite guards kicked open the office door and raised their weapons towards Tallulah.

"It's okay, this is all part of the plan, you guys go down."

Before Tallulah could recover from her dizziness and counterattack with her Originium skills, the soundless Kashena suddenly stood up and asked the guards to leave.

The mess in the office didn't look like anything was wrong, but Black Snake had long been powerful in the hearts of these pro-war factions, and was now the backbone of the entire pro-war faction, so naturally whatever Kashena said was the truth.

"What on earth are you..."

The guards retreated. Talulah looked at Kashena's unfocused pupils, and felt a chill on her back. She subconsciously became alert.

"Alas, my foolish daughter,"

A black snake crawled out from the top of Kashena's head. Its dark body had grown a lot longer and wrapped around Kashena's neck like a scarf. When the black snake left her body, Kashena's body seemed to have lost its soul and froze in place without moving.

Obviously, it was the black snake on Tallulah's body that was modified by Si Yebao that won.

...

Chapter 209 The Battle of Ursus Ends

The Ursus war faction's desperate resistance around the Fortress of Saint Stein ended in a very funny way.

Kasheina, who had changed her mind, used the authority in her hands to cut off the energy supply of Saint Jun Castle and overloaded the power reactor of the unmanned annexed land, instantly paralyzing the defense system in the city that had not yet been completed.

In other words, the city defense artillery needs manual operation, and there are still a large number of Ursus soldiers and military police in the Holy Horse Castle who are confused about the situation. Otherwise, Kashena will definitely let the pro-war insects experience being surrounded by friendly forces.

But that's enough.

The mobile land suddenly started, and the runaway mobile land accelerated and ran over the Seventh Army, which was building fortifications outside the city with high-speed warships.

With the speed of the moving land, people could definitely hide there, and even in the gaps of some moving structures, there were enough space for dozens of people to hide. However, the high-speed warships of the Seventh Army were not so lucky.

The main war faction had already made preparations for a do-or-die battle. The high-speed warships were already prepared to be paralyzed on the ground and to rely on their complex structures to fight in street battles. Without the power reactors being preheated at all, they were directly hit and crushed by the moving blocks, and both sides were scrapped at the same time.

The four-nation coalition forces, upon receiving the signal, naturally seized the opportunity and immediately launched a charge.

Si Ye's projection solved a lot of problems along the way, and coupled with Fyodor's surrender, many soldiers were full of regrets, regretting that they did not get enough military merits.

Now that the Holy Castle is right in front of us, the Battle of Ursus will most likely end here.

It was unknown when such a good opportunity to gain military merit would come again. The soldiers of the four-nation coalition were naturally howling and charging forward faster than each other.

Thunder magic, witchcraft, the charge of the silver spear Pegasus, and the individual artillery of the Columbia power armor all poured down on the incomplete fortifications of the Ursus Army, blowing up the Ursus soldiers who were resisting stubbornly on them.

Because they were designated as traitors by Emperor Feodoro, some lower-level officers and soldiers of the army had already caused a lot of unrest and their morale was very low.

Now the Black Snake Grand Duke, who was regarded as a spiritual pillar, suddenly had problems. The mental pressure of suddenly becoming an enemy of the world was not something that everyone could bear. The morale of the Ursus soldiers, which was already low, collapsed completely.

"Surrender!! Surrender!!"

As the allied soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, the Ursus soldiers even chose to surrender despite the attack.

"Would you like to struggle no longer?"

A Casimir knight asked tentatively.

The coalition forces strictly enforced military discipline and emphasized that ordinary Ursus soldiers were allowed to surrender. They did not dare to pretend that they did not hear the surrender and directly attacked the surrendering Ursus soldiers.

"..."

The Ursus soldier rolled his eyes at Knight Casimir and fell directly onto the devastated battlefield.

He has had enough. Do whatever you want. Kill him or cut him up as you like.

Faced with the Ursus soldiers' infectious behavior of playing badly, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became strange.

The coalition soldiers hoped that the Ursus soldiers would stand up and continue fighting, preferably to the point where they would use all their trump cards and fight until the last man standing. After all, only in this way could they gain military merit.

But the Ursus soldiers are not stupid. Why would they die when they can live? They made up their minds to give up completely.

The Ursus officer who was in charge of the battle naturally refused to do so. He angrily shouted and wanted the army to return to combat status.

But the Ursus soldiers, whose mentality had completely collapsed, tied him up and sent him to the coalition forces.

Looking at the Ursus officer who was trapped like a dumpling in the hands of the Ursus soldiers, the coalition soldiers inexplicably came up with an idea.

The order issued by the coalition's top brass only emphasized the surrender of ordinary Ursus soldiers, a tactic to win over the hearts and minds of the people. Officers and nobles were naturally not protected by this order, so...

A strange scene appeared on the front battlefield where people should have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

Twenty or thirty Ursus soldiers tied up their long-held grudge against their officer in exchange for surrendering and being allowed to rest in a prisoner-of-war camp.

This situation continued until the army's top brass realized something was wrong and sent out a supervisory team and senior officers.

These noble officers and their personal guards failed to rekindle the fighting spirit of the Ursus soldiers. On the contrary, they became walking heroes in the eyes of the coalition soldiers.

After a period of tragic achievements in which we were outnumbered, the defense line outside the Saint Jun Castle, which was supposed to be impregnable, was actually broken through.

And Kashena in the city was also taking action. With the help of Snake Scales and Tallulah, she successfully dealt with several old nobles who were hiding in the city.
