Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

The two guards were talking on the spot when they suddenly heard the sound of a door being broken open, and saw the figures of Fan Yu and others appear at the door.

Tallulah's eyes were filled with anger: "What do you think of life?"

She drew the long sword from her waist, and the red dragon fire surged and drew an arc.

The guard in the center of the half had his body cut in half.

Chapter 73 The Way of the Man

A pool of hot white smoke emerged from the broken parts of the guard's limbs.

As blood spurted out, large pools of gore spilled onto the ground, and the smell of barbecue emanated from them.

One of the guards coughed up blood and died on the spot, while the other one only had the upper half of his body left. He dragged half of his body and raised his head with difficulty. He saw Tallulah holding a flaming sword, and then his consciousness was gradually consumed by the flames.

A brief burst of slashing in the factory made the numb and sleepy atmosphere in the middle of the night suddenly become hot.

Countless numb infected people, with the remaining light of the flames reflected in their eyes, watched all this in confusion. They had never thought that someone would come to this desperate place and kill the guards who had inflicted suffering on them.

There was confusion and bewilderment in their eyes, and some even had a glimmer of hope rising from their numb state...

The guards who were relaxing around were also aware of the movement at the door.

They grasped their weapons, pushed through the crowd that was paused in various parts of the factory, and saw Talulah, Frost Star, and Fan Yu standing at the door.

"Who are you? This is a restricted area. Do you know what you are doing?" A stern shout came from the leading guard commander. He was holding a large spear made of source stone in one hand and a heavy shield in the other. His whole body was wrapped in a pitch-black armor.

"Boss, that woman... seems to be the terrorist Tallulah Atrias, who is wanted by the Empire as Draco, the one who killed Duke Kosciuszko and founded the infected organization [Reunion Movement]!" A guard who often read newspapers saw the dragon horns on Tallulah's head and the dragon tail under her military uniform, and said hesitantly.

Another guard nodded in confirmation. "Indeed, the man beside her is no ordinary person. He seems to be the legendary 'Slitthroat'!"

Fan Yu, who was standing at the door, was a little surprised: "I don't remember my appearance being known."

In every battle he fought, he basically left no one alive. The official power of the Ursus Empire only judged that there was an enemy who specialized in slitting throats based on the wounds left on Fan Yu's battlefields, and thus gave him the title of "Throat Slitter".

However, no one has ever known what Fan Yu looks like.

Frost Star, standing by, snorted in dissatisfaction: "At least you still have a title."

Until now, she has only been known as the "Winter Scar" of Frost Star, and has not even used the name of the Snow Monster Squad.

"There's no need to say meaningless words. We are the Integration Movement, and we have only one goal in mind!" Tallulah whispered.

The guard leader said in a deep voice, "Are you here to overthrow us?"

It was not easy to tell the similarity between Tallulah's appearance in the newspaper and her real appearance at night, but the guard commander was familiar with the names they reported and the stories about their deeds that were circulated in the Ursus Empire.

The [Reunion Movement] - this force, which has marched southward from the north and fought its way through thorns and brambles, has now become a thorny force in the eyes of some emerging nobles and warlords in the empire. The nobles and officials of the Chernobog City Hall, who had learned intelligence and were worried that the [Reunion Movement] would target this industrial city, have finally become a reality.

"It's not you who are subverted, but our compatriots who are redeemed." Tallulah said this and rushed out in a leap.

The guard leader's expression froze, and he instinctively tightened his grip on the spear and shield in his hands. He stabbed one spear at the end of Tallulah's trajectory, and raised the other shield high in the air in an attempt to launch a defensive counterattack in the form of a shield strike.

Ding!

Almost in an instant, the guard commander raised the shield and flames surged in the direction. The flaming sword collided with the shield, making a crisp sound. Then, in the next second, a hissing sound came from the shield.

"flame?!"

The guard commander was speechless, but immediately denied his speculation.

He recalled the intelligence from the Infected Patrol about every battlefield that the Integration Movement had passed through. The earth was often left with the smell of burnt sulfur, and the remaining corpses were always turned into charcoal.

Although this is indeed what fire can accomplish...

However, sometimes the patrol team is less than an hour away from the scene of the incident, and such a scene occurs.

That situation, combined with the current situation, seemed to tell a reality that 'it couldn't be just fire'.

[This feels... like burning matter!] - The guard commander thought to himself as he stared at the scene in front of him.

The blazing heat began to dissolve the Chernobog's two-headed dragon coating on the shield's surface, leaving behind a stream of dark grease. The metal layer that emerged, baked by the intense heat of the flames, instantly turned orange-red and dissolved into a pool of molten iron.

As the scorching heat was transmitted downwards, the guard commander could not help but feel a burning sensation on the handle of the large shield held in his gloves. He groaned in pain and loosened his grip on the handle.

The large shield fell directly from mid-air to the ground with a clang.

Talulah seized the opportunity and thrust her flaming sword at the guard leader's neck. The leader, terrified, immediately raised his spear, not bothering to adjust his attacking stance, and instinctively blocked his collar with it.

Zheng!

The collision between metal and metal exploded, and then the magical power covering the two sides - the scorching high-temperature flames, collided with the green and sharp source stone skills launched by the guard leader.

The flames burned the tip of the Guard Commander's spear, and the Guard Commander's sharp source stone skills also left a gap on the flaming sword transmitted by Tallulah.

A wave of green and orange-red air erupted from the space between the two of them.

Tallulah growled. "That's just the way it is!"

The guard commander at close range felt an extreme impact from the collision of weapons, and his protective mask was shattered on the spot by the momentum. He revealed the face of a bear-eared human head, which was unique to the Ursus race, and there was a look of fear in his blue eyes.

"Damn..."

The moment the protective mask collapsed, he instinctively covered his nose and mouth and wanted to retreat and leave the factory.

but--

The dust that the infected father who just died turned into, as well as the Originium particles that flowed in the air and overflowed from the Originium processing, floated in the atmosphere.

After receiving a blow from Tallulah, a trace of Originium energy reacted and quietly crystallized from the body of the Guard Commander.

On the exposed skin of his neck, a tiny black Originium crystal slowly condensed...

Chapter 74 Beheading

"Goo!"

The guard commander felt the reaction of the foreign body in his body and coughed suddenly.

He subconsciously covered his nose and throat to prevent himself from inhaling more gas in this rich Originium environment.

Upon seeing this, Tallulah immediately kicked the other person in the abdomen.

With a thud, the guard commander's body leaned back and flew backwards. The force on his abdomen caused his throat to open involuntarily, coming into contact with the dust in the atmosphere.

Finally, his body crashed into the Originium cargo box at the end.

A large amount of Originium was scattered from the broken cargo box. Many Originium were shattered, and the dust that spread out covered the entire face of the guard commander.

He opened his mouth and instinctively swallowed a large amount of Originium crystal particles, causing a drastic crystallization reaction in his body.

The guard commander endured the pain in his abdomen, stood up from the ground in panic, and began to retch, trying to exhale the air he had inhaled into his throat.

However, the more he did this...

The more intense the reaction in the body.

In just a few seconds, several tiny black crystal particles appeared on his neck and face, and then those tiny crystals condensed into a crystal about the size of a soybean, triggering the Originium infection reaction in his body.

Tallulah did not attack again. She held the sword in her hand and walked step by step to the embarrassed guard.

The latter raised his head as if aware of something, coughed up a mouthful of blood from his throat, and stared at Tallulah with his blue eyes.

"How does it feel to be infected?" Tallulah asked calmly.

The guard commander's eyes widened immediately. He realized that the series of actions just now were not accidental, but rather—

"Did you do this on purpose?" The guard commander looked angry.

Tallulah didn't respond.

The guards around him who had originally obeyed his orders gave the best response. When they saw the Originium crystals appearing on their leader's neck, the guards who were originally ready to go froze in place, not knowing what to do next.

A soldier's duty is to obey his superiors' orders, but this group of troops is here to protect the infected, prevent them from escaping, and suppress them. Now... their leader has also become one of the infected.

The guard commander naturally saw the expressions of his subordinates. Although the protective masks could not reveal their specific expressions, their hesitant movements made him understand something: "You..."

One of the guards pointed his sniper rifle directly at his superior: "Don't come closer, stay where you are."

The guard commander's face was filled with astonishment, and he immediately looked at Tallulah in disbelief.

Even without her telling him, he could still read from Tallulah's expression the thought, "When you become something you hate, this is the most suitable ending for you."

The opponent could have easily killed him with the collision just now, but chose to break his protective mask, allowing the surrounding Originium particles to be absorbed into his body and become the infected person they had always hated.

This reversal of position was difficult for the guard commander to accept for a while.

but--

His subversive stance did not attract Tallulah and her group's purpose in coming here.

Rather, the fact that the guard leader became infected shook the guards who had originally targeted them, making it easier for Frost Star and Brahma Feather to use their spells/skills.

In the pitch-black night, Frost Star activated the frost source stone device on her back with magic, and a large amount of pure white frost air floated up from the factory and drifted towards the guards.

The sudden biting cold made the guards react one by one.

They instinctively raised their weapons and unleashed their respective Originium skills.

Cyan cyclones, flames and ice, as well as some ochre-colored energy-jumping particles, the colors of various Originium techniques wrapped around their weapons.

A guard holding a sniper rifle pulled the trigger, and the source stone bullet with ochre energy broke through the arc of frost and icy air and blasted straight towards the caster Frost Star.

[Go to hell!] — The guard holding the sniper rifle whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Frost Star sensed the dangerous attack and his expression suddenly froze. He was about to release the frost to condense into an ice wall to block his sight. Fan Yu, who was standing beside her, had condensed a lightsaber at some point and took the lead in taking a step forward with the sword in hand.

Chi!

The Originium bullet with ochre energy was slashed by the lightsaber that Fan Yu unfolded, and was shattered directly in mid-air by one sword.

The energy overflowed, and a distorted vibration appeared in the air.

[This seems to be the Originium technique of the two generals in the Petrograd Fortress.] — Fan Yu's face was filled with surprise, but he slowly approached the guard holding the sniper rifle.

His sudden movement made him look like a ghost to the guards.

In just a blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared, and the pupils under the guard's mask contracted, and he could not help but cover his face because of the dazzling light.

At this moment, Fan Yu appeared behind the guard holding the sniper rifle. He raised his hand, and the expressions of the other two guards beside him froze.

The lightsaber that was originally in Fan Yu's hand had somehow arrived first and pierced the guard's throat directly.

The scorching heat brought up scarlet blood and a layer of white mist.

With a "puff", it completely penetrated the guard's throat and was grasped by Fan Yu again.

Shuang Xing's eyes brightened, and she came back to her senses and said to Fan Yu, "Thank you."

Fan Yu's back made a waving gesture.

And the next time...

After Frost Star set up the venue, it was time for Fan Yu and Tallulah to clean up.

As layer after layer of frost condensed, those who could only feel the frosty white air condensing from under their feet tried to cut it apart with weapons, while others tried to break free from the frost.

But they all underestimated the Frost Star, which had already expanded its territory, and layers of frosty white air condensed.

Click, click, click!

Layer upon layer of thick white fog transformed from mist into solid ice, freezing all the guards from the feet on.

Before they could start to cut off the restraints under their feet, Fan Yu and Tallulah had already taken action.

Tallulah releases red dragon fire from her hands, vaporizing the frozen enemies on the spot.

"Ahhhh——!"

Screams of pain echoed throughout the field.

But that’s not all.

Fan Yu held the golden lightsaber tightly in his hand. The energy that instantly poured into it made the entire sword expand dozens of times, turning it into a giant sword. He swept across the field and slashed the remaining frozen soldiers from the front, annihilating them all.

Chapter 75 "We Are Ready"

A blow fell...

Countless heads flew out and were gradually annihilated in a burst of golden light.

As the aftermath in the field dissipated, golden particles like starlight flickered in the field, making the factory building with faint lights flickering in the dark night become gorgeous and dazzling.
