Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Generally speaking, when you enter this state, you have boundless energy for everything you do, and you're free from indecision and self-doubt. This state has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort, but the disadvantage is that it's too one-sided, too blind, and prone to getting stuck in a rut.

"When I wake up in the morning in this state, I can test the power I can obtain from those inner guards and strengthen my will." Fan Yu said.

"If you are not firm enough, you will have no future." Tallulah snorted. She thought of the day after Fan Yu acquired this attribute and used it. She thought that this guy had finally awakened to the same idea as herself, but when she asked him later, she found out that it was the resonance brought about by the strange connection between the two of them that disappointed her for a long time.

Fan Yu remained noncommittal: "The key is to defeat magic with magic."

Frost Star, who was standing by, didn't understand the Riddler's conversation between the two and asked bluntly, "What are you talking about?"

Fan Yu had no intention of hiding it. After turning on the [Fighter] state, he unleashed the power of his right hand.

The power of the sun emblem flickered, and a ripple in space began to vibrate, distorting the space and bringing in a luminous object from another dimension.

Talulah and Shuangxing held their breath at this sight. They had both witnessed that day the power of Fanyu, empowered by this orb of light, to 'kill an inner guard in a second.' However, they also clearly noticed something different from their first encounter. This time, the orb of light was coated in a pitch-black halo.

The swirling black particles were pulsing, just like the [Kingdom] that had emerged from those inner guards before...

And in fact, it was just as they guessed.

Fan Yu held up the star core in his hand and smiled maliciously at Tallulah and Shuangxing: "If you are curious, feel it for yourself!"

A black light surrounded by gold was released from it, instantly covering the two women.

Their faces were startled and they stepped back subconsciously.

However, the speed of energy transmission is much faster than the speed of human movement. Besides, Fan Yu was attacked by someone close to him, and it was a surprise attack.

When the energy enveloped the area around them, Talulah and Froststar froze in their tracks. Their eyes moved faintly at the speed of milliseconds. Their consciousness and thoughts were still there, but their bodies could not return to normal speed.

Fan Yu held his chin and said, "This is the power of stability demonstrated after the fusion these days."

The star core absorbed the evil power from so many emperors' blades, and after the fusion, it generated a new power. The path is actually similar to that of the [Kingdom].

It still has the effect of freezing, and its range is more precise than that of [Realm].

Fan Yu snapped his fingers.

Pole!

A clear crisp sound was clearly heard in the air, and the ripples broke, restoring the strength of Tallulah and Froststar, allowing them to regain consciousness and movement.

The two instinctively drew their swords and staffs from their waists, then raised their brows. "That just now... was it a kingdom?"

"Ah."

Fan Yu looked at the reactions of Frost Star and Tallulah in front of him with a rather subtle expression.

In a practical sense, the power path just revealed can accomplish a kind of "Time Stop Series" story in a local area.

"But it's not just a restriction. I can clearly feel my body becoming weak after that experience." Frost Star added.

Fan Yu lifted his chin and said, "You're right. This is also a characteristic they left behind that has been integrated into the star core. It's also the core of the demonic power!"

Like directly freezing the opponent, most people display a certain elemental power, which can be reduced.

Therefore, what Frost Star felt was the normal experience that one would feel when facing this move.

In the game, the effect of this power is a BUFF that reduces attack speed, imprisonment, and reduction of all body attributes.

A very disgusting way!

Tallulah was speechless: "Those disgusting powers of the inner guards, now it seems they have all become yours."

In another sense, he continued to stay by his side with the inner guard.

Frost Star stared at him strangely: "Defeat an enemy and then gain the target's power."

Fan Yu: "That's good, isn't it?"

Tallulah & Froststar: "..."

Chapter 56: Integration Movement

The two women looked at each other, speechless in every sense of the word.

Such power is certainly good as a companion, but they have just experienced it as an enemy before. It will take time for them to adapt so quickly and digest this power that has become a companion.

After temporarily ending the conversation, Fan Yu put away the power in his hands to recover and restore the star core.

Then his figure jumped down from the stone and asked Froststar and Tallulah, "Where are you two going so early in the morning?"

"We are planning to go find my dad...um...the old stubborn guy. After the last battle, Talulah had a conversation with him." Froststar said proactively.

Fan Yu thought thoughtfully: "Is it about the guerrillas joining?"

Tallulah nodded in response, her eyes gradually becoming firmer: "I will convince Mr. Patriot."

Just then, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from the village entrance, treading on the snow, attracting the attention of several people. They looked at the same time and saw two heavily armored guerrilla shield guards approaching.

"Talulah, the leader wants to see you." The shield guard's voice came from under the helmet.

Tallulah nodded and immediately looked at Fan Yu: "Do you want to go with me? No matter what, you and I should be one."

Fan Yu hummed: "Of course no problem."

Then, the three of them, led by the guerrilla shield guard, left the village slowly.

About an hour later, they saw the large figure of the patriot at the camp they had set up on a flat, frozen wasteland.

He stood beside a large rock, holding a large shield and gazing towards the center of the Ursus Empire. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw the outlines of several people.

The Patriot's gaze briefly lingered on Fan Yu, a young man whom he could not understand, but eventually returned to Tallulah.

"My symptoms of oripathy have become more serious these days. So, while I can still speak normally, tell me your reasons to convince me!" said the Patriot conscientiously.

Tallulah raised her brows. "I heard from Froststar that your infection is in your throat. That's a pity... Most of the different races on the continent of Terra rely on speech to communicate."

And when that's lost, the misunderstanding and hatred that's created will intensify."

When the Patriot heard Tallulah's words, his eyes narrowed slightly beneath his helmet. "You're not worried about my condition, are you saying something else?"

Tallulah shook her head and continued, "This is a question I've pondered for a long time. It just so happens that today's situation fits your situation. When there's a language barrier, is there something new that can bring people together regardless of race and differences?"

"When a village faces a natural snowstorm, it will pool all its resources to ensure as many people as possible survive the winter."

"When a town faces an invasion by foreign enemies, the people will arm themselves to resist the invaders."

"It's the same between countries... In the beginning, the things that brought people together were beautiful things. And to convey that beauty, language became the most important channel for communication."

The Patriot frowned and interrupted in a deep voice, "I'm not here to listen to your propaganda, Tallulah."

Tallulah hummed. "Of course I understand that, Mr. Patriot. But beyond words, there's faith. It's what keeps us going!"

“…” The Patriot heard this but did not respond.

Tallulah was in much the same situation as when they first met, still harboring some naive ideas.

If it were a few months ago, he would not have stayed to listen to the other party's follow-up, but now it is different.

Patriot: "How are you going to keep us alive, all the infected alive? What's your plan going forward?"

Tallulah: "South."

"Are you planning to leave the frozen land?" The Patriot's tone expressed disapproval of Tallulah's choice. He said slowly, "The armor of the Ursus Empire...will cost you your lives."

Frost Star: "But we have already defeated the Imperial Guards who are directly under the Emperor."

The Patriot said gravely, "You are only facing a few assassins."

When he said this, the Patriot looked at the people on the field again.

Perhaps when Talulah, Vanyu La, and his daughter Frost Star head south, facing the Empire's infected patrol team, the army will be able to resist at any time and even wipe out the enemy.

"An individual, an ordinary team, and a large group carrying countless ordinary infected people all respond differently," the patriot reminded.

Individuals do not need to face it directly, and groups that are adventurous only need to strive for excellence to maintain mutual support.

However, in Tallulah's vision, the above possibility is simply impossible to achieve.

The path that this girl from Draco is walking is destined to be the most difficult one.

Those ordinary infected people will become a burden to them when facing the empire, and will become their weak points and bargaining chips in the war.

If there were some sinister plot to incite the weak-willed infected to rebel, it would be just a matter of words for the imperial army.

This girl will be stabbed in the back by the weapon of betrayal by the person she protects, and will eventually die because of her own ideals.

Tallulah: “…”

She did not speak.

Facing the Patriot's gaze, Tallulah understood what he was trying to convey, but she still had a different opinion: "But the population of the frozen land is too small, and the resources here can only be traded with the cities in the south.

Farming, how much can we harvest in a year? I've calculated, and it's not even enough to support ourselves. We can only continue to hide here like rats.

Heading south, to where it’s warm…”

There was a light in Tallulah's eyes: "There is more fertile land and more infected people there.

Maybe we will fall, but someone has to move forward on this road.

We can gather more companions to make this belief continue to spread."

"

"For now, Froststar, Ra, and I are enough to handle those formidable sorcerers and leaders. Alina and the others will provide logistics. We also have some fighters, though not as elite as the guerrillas. However, if Mr. Patriot joins us... we can go even further."

Tallulah stared at the Patriot seriously. "Alina, Froststar, and I have already decided on a name for the organization."

"It's called—Reunion Movement."

Chapter 57: Guidance for Resistance

The Patriots eventually joined.

Apart from Fan Yu and Shuang Xing, no one knew what the two people talked about in the wilderness.

The guerrillas, snow monsters, and the infected people gathered by Talulah learned something in the evening of that day: they were about to launch a movement to integrate the infected people and migrate to the south.

evening.

Tallulah returned to the village and re-explained the whole incident to the infected. Some soldiers were shocked to hear it. They began to leave the village and head to some outposts in the frozen land to bring the news to other infected people.

Some ordinary infected people, women and children, looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew what was happening, but as the tide of the times was bound to advance, they seemed to be able to do nothing but bear witness.

In the evening, Alina met Tallulah, who was tired after finishing her speech, at the warehouse at the village entrance.

She gently handed her a hot towel and asked Tallulah to apply it to her face.

"Thanks, Alina. It's great to have you by my side at times like this." Tallulah said slowly, standing at the door of the barn with a towel in her hand.

Alina chuckled and shook her head. For the infected, everything Tallulah did was inherently on her side. Perhaps Tallulah hadn't gone to that village. She might be hiding there now, waiting to be captured by the infected patrol someday.

"Finally, we've come to this." Alina said with emotion as she looked at Tallulah.

Tallulah hummed, gazing at the sky, her heart also surging: "Yes, our cause will begin on the frozen ground."

Probably only Fan Yu and Alina could understand these words.

They were Tallulah's most loyal listeners, and had been so since they left the village.

The eyes of the girl from Draco, illuminated by the setting sun, flickered as if with the flames of struggle.

The firewood that has been accumulated for a long time will eventually burn.

However, from the village gate, a group of infected people wearing linen clothes suddenly came hurriedly from a distance and came to Tallulah.

Tallulah also stopped talking to Alina and looked at everyone in confusion: "What's going on?"

"Talulah, we heard the soldiers say they are heading south to start a war. Is this true?" A brown-haired Filin infected person couldn't help but ask.

Tallulah hummed, "It's right to go south. That's to find a place for us to survive and save more infected people. As for the war, we've been fighting all the time!"

"We still have to fight in the end." The Film Infected Person who spoke up showed a look of resistance: "Life here is obviously good. It took a lot of effort to settle down..."

Hearing this, Tallulah did not look surprised.

The soldiers would feel excited when they heard her speech, but for ordinary infected people, it was indeed unsettling. And most of her team were ordinary infected people who had no fighting power.

"You don't have to fight. Even if you want to fight, you still have to go to the guerrillas to learn for a few months!" Tallulah said comfortingly in a serious tone.

The infected person who spoke hesitantly said, "Then, can we not leave here?"

Tallulah was startled and looked at the infected young man silently: "..."
