Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

"Mr. Sun..." Sonia murmured the name and snorted.

Maybe she should give herself the nickname 'Winter', the kind that can even block out the sun.

……

the other side.

Located in the area where the City Hall is located.

At the intersection on the street corner late at night, the lights flickered on and off.

The square, usually quiet at night, was now ablaze with lights. Countless figures holding lanterns gathered at the entrance of the City Hall building, and the flames forcibly pierced the previously closed roads.

The guard who fell by the roadside was trapped by the ragged crowd.

The crowd looked up at the end of the stairs, where a Draco with flames in his hands was staring at the Ursus man in front of him whose feet were frozen by icicles.

"Why... do you want to arrest me? I am not an official who deals with the infected. If you want to avenge the infected, you should go to Gladsh." Sergei felt the coldness in his lower body and his legs trembled.

He forced himself to remain calm and stared at the leader of the Reunion Movement in front of him—Talulah Atrias.

This is not the first time that the top leaders of Chernobyl City Hall have heard of it.

They had known for a long time that a duke had been killed by his adopted daughter in his mansion. This was also the first time this name had appeared in the eyes of the top brass of the major mobile cities.

After all, the nobles would keep an eye on each other's movements, and officials who were dependent on the nobles would naturally provide them with sufficient intelligence.

In short, according to the vast majority of nobles, the girl in front of them was Draco, whom Duke Koschei had abducted from Longmen in Yan Country and tried to tame, but ended up being attacked by the dragon.

At first, it was just a joke, until the past few months, when the "Integration Movement" organization created by the infected appeared in their sight, many people also realized that what was originally a joke suddenly turned into a crisis that might appear around them.

Duke Kosice was a first-time experiencer...

But Sergei didn't expect that he would be one of those who followed in his footsteps.

"Let Alex and Misha go, I'm willing to tell you."

Tallulah shook her head and said calmly to Sergei, "Even if you speak of justice for the infected here, it will not cover up the discrimination against them in this world. I am not here for revenge, but to create a future for the infected."

"Sergei, tell me where the key to the core city is."

Chapter 84 Lyudmila the Regicide

Sergey: “Huh?”

He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became extremely shocked. He looked at Tallulah in disbelief: "Why, do you know this?!"

A few years ago, he successfully entered the circle of Chernobyl's top management after being promoted by betraying his friend Ilya.

Relying on his own management and the guidance he had received from the lord before, he also entered the core area of ​​Chernobog and became a senior executive in charge of the authority key to the core city of the Chernobog mobile block.

A few years ago, Ms. Kelsey might have been able to guess such a secret based on her current location. However, that woman had already taken Ilya's daughter, Lyudmila, from Chernobyl to another country long ago.

As for other senior officials who knew the secrets of the core city, they were in the same interest group as him and would never do something like digging their own graves.

There is no way such information could be circulated outside.

"I have my own channels." Tallulah stared at Sergei's expression and responded calmly.

This information was obtained from her little sun. She originally thought it was a very common thing to break into the enemy from within, but judging from Sergei's expression, it seemed to be a big secret.

Tallulah couldn't help but feel curious for a moment, wondering how her little sun had managed to get this kind of information after being idle here for a month.

"...You have a master behind you, Draco. It seems that the [Reunion Movement] is not just an organization of infected people, there are also some results that the nobles are happy to see." Sergei whispered.

Tallulah frowned. "I hold no hatred towards you, nor do your two children. I do not intend to resort to any means against a captive. You better tell us what we want."

Sergei looked at the flames burning in the hands of the man opposite him, then glanced at the corpses beside him. The fear in his heart overcame his rationality.

"The key and command code are in the pendant around my daughter Misha's neck. Don't hurt her." Sergei said.

Tallulah was a little surprised when she heard this: "You actually hid that kind of thing on your own daughter, and you're not worried at all?"

Sergei: “…”

He didn't respond. Whether this was motivated by a hidden ambition to climb higher, or a response to a day that would inevitably come, Sergei himself didn't know. Perhaps only when he placed the control of a city in the hands of his daughter would he understand.

A few minutes later.

The Reunion Movement brought Sergei's family over. A silver-haired Ursus bear man in pajamas rubbed his eyes drowsily, unaware that the necklace hanging around his neck had been taken off.

She looked at Sergei and said in a cute voice, "Dad?"

"Okay, let's send this kid away!" Talulah ordered an Integration Movement operator holding a red knife behind her.

The latter immediately used the Originium technique to hypnotize the Ursus Bearman, making him fall asleep, and then left the city hall.

Tallulah took the pendant in her hand and opened it, revealing the secret key to Chernobog's core city. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I got it."

Sergei stared at the other person and opened his mouth silently, knowing that the situation was hopeless.

However, his gaze gradually shifted from Tallulah to the infected people bustling about in the square below in the dead of night. Many of them were from Chernobog, infected people who had been snatched from the streets, arrested from their homes by patrols, and even some mercenaries...

These infected people who were supposed to be working in the factories in District 59 have now regained their freedom. Their eyes are filled with enthusiasm as they look towards the direction of Tallulah in the City Hall.

In the darkness of the night, an invisible subversive force brought about a revolution here.

Sergei thought of Tallulah's words and suddenly had a sudden realization. Perhaps it was Draco's promise that had filled this briefly assembled group with such excitement.

In other words, Tallulah brought hope to these infected people whose lives had fallen into the abyss.

but……

"You want to occupy Chernobyl and provide them with a place to live?" Sergei asked.

Tallulah hummed as a matter of course.

Sergei: "You overestimate the importance of this city. It is not the fortresses and guerrillas you wiped out before heading south. The Empire will not allow it to be lost."

Rather, it was the territory conquered by the Four Emperors during the war against the Ursus Empire, and the new Emperor worked diligently to govern it. Even though the Ursus Empire was now in decline, it was still a behemoth for these people.

Sergei, who was familiar with some secrets, also knew that there were some [coffins] hidden underground in Chernobyl, and those things were not from this civilization at all.

This group of people who are only driven by passion have no idea what they are doing.

"If you like, I can..."

Sergei subconsciously began to state the conditions, but saw Tallulah's expression suddenly change across from him.

Before he could even read the meaning in the other person's eyes, he saw the other person shouting "Be careful" at him...

puff!

A dagger was thrown from above Sergei, piercing directly through his back and chest.

Sergei's voice suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He turned his head with difficulty and saw a woman wearing jeans, with a half-mask covering her face and a hood on her head, leaving only her red hair exposed, standing on top of the city hall building.

"You...?" Tallulah raised her head.

"I agreed to join the Reunion Movement and provide the information you want, so you have to give me a chance for revenge. This is the deal relayed by that guy's informant, and you can go back on your word if you want." The red-haired masked woman snorted coolly.

Tallulah paused, then suddenly realized something: "You are... the person who provided us with information from 'Sun' in Chernobog?"

"'Sun'?" The red-haired, masked woman paused. "His codename truly contradicts his actions. Never mind. You and I are mutually beneficial. I haven't considered confronting him directly, but I will be the one to kill Sergei."

Tallulah looked thoughtfully at Sergei who was stabbed by a sharp knife.

Sergei listened to the words above and was a little confused about this strange girl who hated him, but when he looked at her and saw only a pair of eyes exposed under the other person's mask, he was suddenly inexplicably shocked.

Those eyes were exactly the same as the one in the memory of the girl who lost her father and was taken away by Ms. Kelsey.

"Lyudmila?"

Chapter 85: The Kingslayer Joins

"..."

The masked girl high in the sky was silent for a few moments before pausing to speak. "I'm surprised you, a traitor who sold out your friends for personal gain, still remember me. But I've changed my name to [King Slayer] for communication purposes."

"It was me who betrayed...your father, Ilya...cough cough!"

Regicide (Lyudmila): "I hope you will repent and die the most painful death possible. However, I am merciful not to kill you in front of your daughter."

The girl had no intention of listening to what a dying man wanted to say. She suddenly jumped from a high altitude and pulled out the dagger that had pierced Sergei's back.

This action exacerbated Sergei's fading vitality.

With a crackling sound, Sergei's body spurted out a large amount of blood, and he suddenly fell forward, gradually losing his life in a whimper and fear.

Tallulah stared at the scene in amazement and fell silent for a while.

He considered taking the key and killing Sergei, or using his identity to further contribute to the Reunion's occupation of Chernobyl. However, the arrival of the masked girl shattered all her assumptions.

"Your name is Lyudmila?" Tallulah asked her.

The Kingslayer nodded silently, then said, "I heard that the Reunion Movement uses code names when operating. Kingslayer, let's call each other that, Leader."

Calling each other code names... Was this also what Fan Yu said?

Tallulah grumbled inwardly, not completely believing the masked girl who had suddenly appeared. She curiously asked, "How did you and Ra know each other?"

"Ra? You mean the guy called Sun?" The King Slayer put away the dagger in his hand and said bluntly, "A long time ago, a meteor appeared in the sky and caused an accident that brought me back to Chernobyl from Syracuse.

My goal was to kill Sergei of City Hall, but I couldn't do it alone, so I needed a collaborator. Then, one of you found me through an intermediary."

The King Slayer spoke very frankly about how he and Fan Yu met.

Talulah couldn't help but frown at her words. As for those who joined in this kind of revenge... Honestly, there were many in the Reunion Movement who had their families torn apart and only wanted to see rivers of bloodshed. But she still preferred that people overcome themselves and seek greater goals in the struggle.

"Your revenge is now over." Tallulah stared at the corpse on the ground and reminded him.

The Kingslayer hummed, "That's right. According to the terms, I will serve you from now on. However..."

Having said that, the Kingslayer paused, staring at Tallulah's expression uncertainly and asking, "Actually, Chief, you don't want me to kill him, do you? If this angers you, I can withdraw."

Tallulah shook her head. "No, since it was Ra who invited you to join, then you are naturally welcome to join the Reunion."

The Kingslayer glanced at the other man in surprise.

"I thought you would be dissatisfied with my actions. Taking the life of two children's father with my own hands." The Kingslayer said delicately.

She had already thought of a plan to escape, but the other party could tolerate such an incident, where a valuable hostage was killed right under their noses. Was it because the guy who invited her was too powerful, or was it because his ability should not be underestimated?

Tallulah: "You knew the outcome, yet you still did it. People keep repeating the chain of hatred, just as the land of Ursus expects... But I have no right to judge you. Revenge is human nature."

The first half of the sentence expresses lament about the contradictions of the world, but in the second half, Tallulah feels relieved.

She didn't dwell on the topic any further, gathering her thoughts and speaking slowly, "We need the key to get to Chernobog's core city and seize control. It would have been much easier if Sergei had led the way. Now we have to go on our own."

Kingslayer: "I'm so sorry."

She said it without any apology.

The Kingslayer glanced at Sergei's body on the ground.

Childhood memories resurfaced in his mind, hatred for this man who killed his father, and the day-by-day tempering in Syracuse just for this moment.

However, at this moment when revenge was completed, the regicide did not feel as happy as he had imagined.

If I insist on saying other emotions, it is to eliminate the obsession in my heart at this moment, and feel a sense of emptiness after the thoughts become clear.

Joining the Reunion Movement... This was just a temporary solution agreed upon with the other party, but it seems that staying here is not a bad idea at the moment.

Exhaling secretly, the Kingslayer returned to the present reality. She glanced down at the City Hall and immediately asked Tallulah, "So, what do you need me to do next?"

"You, find 'Ra'!" Tallulah said frankly.

Suddenly.

As the two were talking, an Reunion Movement operator wearing a black and red tracksuit and holding a large sword came up from the steps of the city hall. "Captain, the Sun is here."

Tallulah: “Oh?”

She looked down at the city hall and saw Fan Yu coming.

One minute later.

Fan Yu came to the top of the stairs of the city hall and met with Tallulah and Frost Star.

He also saw the Kingslayer: "You finally showed up. I thought you would not participate in such an operation."

The King Slayer raised an eyebrow. "I've given you so much information. How could I possibly waste this opportunity?"
