The "New Reunion Movement" Must Be Destroyed / The Stubborn Boy
In just a dozen breaths, the entire group of nearly a hundred people had fallen to the ground.
"Miss Suika, this is..." Dobby somewhat shocked after witnessing Suika's fighting prowess. He had previously thought that Elisa, the high-ranking executive, was just making excuses to give this girl named Suika a reason to join her team, but he didn't expect her to be so formidable.
Even if a hundred or so people are not skilled in martial arts, if it were our side, we could only fight a defensive battle against the enemy, forcing them to retreat after realizing they were no match for us.
It's simply impossible to achieve a result like Suika, where everything is resolved within minutes.
The fighting outside also drew attention from inside the house.
After picking and choosing, Suika returned with the officer who had been killed by her neck in the beginning and a man who was still alive but whose limbs had been broken from falling from a great height.
"These..."
Dobby was about to ask who these people were, the children rushed out of the house. Among them, Ularov, his eyes bloodshot, glared at the dead "officer" and roared through gritted teeth.
"It was him! It was him! He led his men into the village!"
Seeing that he was about to lose control, Suika threw the officer's corpse at him.
"The man is already dead, but if you want to take your anger out on him, hurry up..."
Dobby also came to his senses from the chaos. These people in military uniforms were not soldiers from Ursus, but the gang of thieves who had robbed and taken away the Golden Fir Tree Village earlier.
At this moment, he looked at Suika with gratitude. If it weren't for this "God of War" being there and noticing that something was wrong with her, he probably would have welcomed her inside before the children noticed something was amiss.
But by then it will probably be too late.
After all, although their own guards were quite strong, the difference in numbers was significant, and the terrain inside the house was simply not suitable for setting up a formation.
I'm afraid my entire group will perish here because of my misjudgment.
Thinking of this, Dobby broke out in a cold sweat.
Sure enough, after questioning the survivor, they learned that they had recently raided a workshop that made uniforms for the Ursus army, and this time they were planning to impersonate the army to attack a border post not far away and seize military supplies.
They had only planned to spend the night in Golden Fir Tree Village, but they didn't expect to see Suika's convoy as soon as they arrived.
Chapter 333 The "New Reunion Movement" Must Be Destroyed
When they discovered it was a caravan, the leader, the one who was dead next to them, had evil intentions.
However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the caravan was heavily fortified. Since they weren't a regular army and had limited weapons, attempting to break through their defenses and take over the caravan by force would inevitably result in heavy losses.
Then they would be unable to continue their plan to raid the outpost.
Just then, someone suggested that since they were planning to impersonate the army and raid the outpost, wouldn't it be perfect to "practice" here first?
That's why they pretended to be an army coming over.
I just didn't expect Suika to be so ruthless.
More than a hundred people were gone in the blink of an eye.
As he said this, the man subconsciously glanced at Suika not far away. At that moment, she was sitting on a box, leisurely drinking wine from a gourd.
If they had known it would turn out this way, they would never have come to provoke this demon star.
"What organization are you, and why are you attacking us and our checkpoint?"
Some people looked puzzled after hearing this.
Attacking caravans is one thing, but there are plenty of people with such audacity when there's no food in the winter.
But border checkpoints are different; they have weapons there.
Attacking that place is tantamount to declaring war on the country. The fact that these people were able to raid the armory, seize clothing, and then attempt to attack the checkpoint shows that they are an organized group, but apart from Suika and Dobby, no one knows the identity of this organization.
"Ahem, we are Reunion Movement. Just you wait, Ursus will burn in the flames of Reunion Movement, and you guys will become the cornerstone of the official rise of the Infected under the leadership of Reunion Movement."
The man grinned dramatically as he glared at everyone present, seemingly wanting to memorize their faces before he died.
"The Reunion Movement? Talulah would send someone to attack a checkpoint? Do you think I'm stupid?"
After hearing his words, Suika jumped off the box. She walked up to the man and looked into his eyes, only to see a flash of black light.
"You know Talulah!" the man exclaimed in shock.
Suika glanced at the insignia on his cuff.
"Although Eno allowed you to borrow the name of the Reunion Movement, he never dared to use Reunion Movement insignia. This is your New Reunion Movement's armband... How ugly."
Upon hearing Suika's words, the man's pupils dilated, then dilated again, and again.
This rhetoric is something they all have to memorize. The leader said that the former Reunion Movement was too weak, and only by bringing their reputation up to par with their own would they have no choice but to accept merging with their side.
Death is not something to be afraid of for these Infected, after all, once they become Infected, their lives are already on a countdown.
Rather than die a painful death in Oripathy outbreak, it's better to fight these Ursus people who are pressing down on us.
But when it was his turn to say those words, his pretense was immediately torn away.
"Who are you?"
His hands and feet were already immobile, but he still craned his neck to look at Suika.
"Me? I'm here to destroy your New Reunion Movement."
Talulah is too weak. She knows perfectly well that you trash, or the Infected in Ursus and even Terra, are a great scourge, yet she still lets you live.
But I'm different. The path you're taking, which is against the world, is a dead end in my eyes.
I cannot watch you drag the reputation of the Infected to its lowest point, so the New Reunion Movement must perish, and it is destined to perish."
Suika walked up to the man and said coldly, then stepped on his chest. With a mouthful of blood spurting out, the man fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.
Everyone looked at Suika, Dobby clapped his hands to get their attention.
"Two people come and throw them out. We still have to sleep here tonight!"
"Do you know them?" The boy Ularov Uralov looked at Suika.
Suika shook her head, then pointed to the corpse that had been dragged away.
"You think I know him?"
"Can you save the people of Golden Fir Tree Village?" Ularov asked hopefully.
Suika shook her head
"First of all, I am just a person, and there are only so many things I can do. I can only do what I am capable of."
And now, three months have passed, and you still don't know where your loved ones are or whether they are still alive.
Ursus is such a big place, where am I supposed to find them? Besides, I don't even know them.
Finally, I can only guarantee that I will not let those involved in the attack on Golden Fir Tree Village and the organizations behind them off lightly, but as for the rest, I can only do my best."
After hearing what Suika said, the boy's eyes dimmed. He knew all that Suika was saying, but why didn't they flee to the city? Why did they stay here instead? Wasn't it because they still had a sliver of hope that the adults would return?
"Can you tell me about this Reunion Movement and Talulah that you mentioned?" Ularov's words made the others around him perk up their ears.
"You should be aware of the oppression and control that Ursus exerts over the Infected. Once someone is infected, they will be arrested by the military and police, and their remaining life will likely consist of working day and night in some Originium mine until they suffer from Oripathy and die."
To escape this fate, a group of Infected decided to rebel against this unfair destiny and eventually came together to form an organization— the Reunion Movement.
Talulah is the leader of this organization, and under her leadership, the Reunion Movement has been seeking a way of life where people can coexist harmoniously with ordinary people.
However, the prolonged oppression has filled many Infected with hatred, and they are unwilling to simply let things go with ordinary people and Ursus so easily.
These radicals eventually broke away from the Reunion Movement and established New Reunion Movement that attacked all non- Infected groups around them and forcibly turned ordinary people into Infected using Originium.
Those who attacked Golden Fir Tree Village and those who died outside were members of the New Reunion Movement.
My purpose in coming to Ursus is to persuade Talulah to completely sever ties with the New Reunion Movement and eliminate them all.
After all, the commotion those guys caused had even reached overseas.
Such outrageous behavior by the Infected will not elevate Infected status; it will only make all nations of Terra more wary of Infected groups and more likely to oppress Infected.
This is a scene that no peace-loving Infected organization wants to see, so the problems of the New Reunion Movement must be resolved.
Suika only explained the difference between the Reunion Movement and the New Reunion Movement; as for the people behind the New Reunion Movement, that's not something they should know.
She didn't mention that she had brought supplies to aid the Reunion Movement, lest these children later reveal this to the authorities, which could lead to her and the Swire Family's caravan being targeted.
Chapter 334 The Stubborn Boy
"Why isn't the government doing anything about this?" someone asked.
Suika rolled her eyes.
"Why hasn't the Ursus government done anything? Haven't you seen how the Reunion Movement has been chased around like dogs by the military all year?"
"That doesn't make sense. You said the New Reunion Movement was the one that committed the crime, so why is the Ursus army chasing the Reunion Movement?" the young Ularov questioned.
"First of all, you need to know one thing: in the eyes of the Ursus government, both the Reunion Movement and the New Reunion Movement are unstable reactionaries, and their existence affects the rule of the nobles and the stability of society."
The reason the military is focusing on the Reunion Movement while ignoring the New Reunion Movement is naturally because someone at higher levels is secretly colluding with the New Reunion Movement. Don't ask me why those nobles are doing this; I don't know either. If I knew, I would be a noble myself."
Suika spread her hands and then looked at Ularov.
"I can tell you're quite intelligent, but many things aren't simply a matter of right and wrong. Actually, I think if you really want to understand these things, don't use your ears, but use your eyes more."
If you want to know the truth, I suggest you see it for yourself. After all, seeing is believing, and even if my words might deceive you, your eyes won't."
The boy paused for a moment after hearing Suika's words, then nodded.
"I will."
More than half an hour later, Dobby returned, panting heavily.
It turns out that after they went outside, they felt it wasn't good to leave the body on the road like that. Although the wind and snow in winter would prevent the body from decomposing, what would happen after winter?
Moreover, the corpses were blocking their way for tomorrow, so they dumped them in a grove of trees some distance away, and also stabbed any remaining corpses to ensure no one survived.
Suika gave a thumbs-up, indicating that the finishing touches were done professionally.
Because of what happened in the afternoon, everyone was in high spirits in the evening. They chatted around the fire for a long time. Finally, Suika, who was still sleepy, couldn't resist and gave each of the people who hadn't slept a sip of strong liquor to help them fall asleep, which finally quieted the room down.
Nothing happened overnight, and the convoy set off again the next morning, only this time with the children in the group.
It turned out that after discussing it, the children realized that if what Tu Suika said was true, then their families wouldn't be able to wait for them in the village, so they decided to follow the convoy to the nearest town to report the case and seek asylum.
Given this weather, staying here would either starve or freeze to death.
With food provided by caravans and a warm place to stay in the town, they should have no problem getting through the winter.
According to the caravan's itinerary, they were supposed to arrive at a town called Koh Samui in two days.
When the convoy arrived in Sumei Town, the mayor personally received the caravan.
The caravan brought a large amount of food and cold-weather gear to Ursus. Although Ursus had plenty of these things, no one would mind preparing more in the face of heavy snow.
Meanwhile, Dobby brought the children of Golden Fir Tree Village to the mayor. The mayor was initially annoyed by the sight of so many hungry children, but his expression improved after learning that the caravan would leave them enough food to last until spring.
Upon learning of the news about Golden Fir Tree Village, the town mayor solemnly stated that he was indeed aware of the matter.
After all, Golden Fir Tree Village is not far from this town, and it is located next to a major transportation route. Even if the townspeople do not actively seek it out, the passing travelers and merchants will bring news from there even if no one comes to the town for several months.
However, the rioters attacked more than just Golden Fir Tree Village, and the armed forces in Sumei Town were limited, so they had to retreat to ensure the safety of the town.
As for the military, the town mayor had no idea whether they had pursued the attackers.
After selling a third of their goods in town, the caravan prepared to continue their journey.
Ularov then ran over and offered to go with the caravan.
"I want to go with you to find out about the people of Golden Fir Tree Village."
"In the dead of winter, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't go out. How would they get any news from your village?"
Dobby and Suika were both speechless.
"But staying here makes it even less likely that I'll get that information. There's always a chance if I go out... And, and... if Suika said is true, I hope to meet Talulah. If she's really as you say, she'll definitely help me find everyone in Golden Fir Tree Village."
Dobby stared at Suika and said.
Suika rubbed her temples.
"If I don't agree, will you tell the mayor that I've been in contact with Infected?"
The boy pursed his lips, said nothing, and simply shook his head.
"But neither you nor I can guarantee that others won't tell... right?"
Good intentions have brought you a lot of trouble... This is really... What are you doing?
Suika was indeed a little angry. Although she explained the difference between the Reunion Movement and the New Reunion Movement in order to clear Talulah's name, she still couldn't stand it when others used this matter to cause her trouble.
