He brainwashed the Imperial soldiers into believers in fairness.
"It seems you're really not convinced."
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Let's drop our weapons and have a real man's duel, fists down."
The military formation surrounding Stuart dispersed, and Luo Chen, unarmed, stepped out.
He raised his head proudly and looked down at Stuart.
The hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, shimmering in the sunlight, giving her a fresh and refined look.
His posture was upright, like a pine tree, standing proudly in the world, showing the demeanor of a great hero.
"Good."
Upon hearing this, the anger in Stuart's eyes lessened slightly.
It seems that Lermontov's birth also reflects a certain heroic spirit of the Imperial Army.
Although I'm not in the best condition right now, I just want to have a manly fight with this guy in the last moments of my life.
That's a relief, at least.
Let's do it.
Stuart threw away the knife in his hand, broke the bow and arrow from his shoulder, and took off his upper garment.
He wanted to have a fair and square duel with Luo Chen.
Facing Stuart, Luo Chen felt no pressure whatsoever.
The opponent had been hit in the shoulder by an arrow, and his repeated dodges had already exhausted him greatly.
Luo Chen has been full of energy since the start of the battle, and even though his combat ability is weak, Luo Chen is still confident.
Not to mention he had a hundred subordinates around him.
Luo Chen and his team were very confident in their fighting capabilities.
And so, under Stuart's passionate gaze, Luo Chen waved his hand:
"Take him down!"
"Huh?" Looking at the Reunion Movement members who pounced on him and pinned him to the ground, Stuart realized that he had underestimated Luo Chen's limits.
What happened to the promise of throwing away weapons and fighting one-on-one with bare fists?
What happened to the real men's battle?
You can't believe a single word that the Sword Tomb says.
"Lermontov, you're despicable! You promised a one-on-one fight, was everything you said just empty words?"
Stuart, who was pinned firmly to the ground, screamed hoarsely.
However, Luo Chen remained unfazed and unperturbed in the face of his accusations.
It was still that composed smile.
"Credit is only for law-abiding citizens. What credit do you have when facing thugs?"
"You're not so stupid as to think that we law enforcement officers would drop our weapons and fight someone like you one-on-one, are you?"
"No way! No way!"
After being repeatedly toyed with by Luo Chen, Stuart was so enraged that he slapped himself.
Luo Chen watched as Stuart collapsed. The village, which had been shrouded in terror, had returned to peace, but something felt missing.
"What's missing?"
Luo Chen tilted his head and thought for a while before finally discovering the problem.
That was laughter.
In such a righteous and open setting, in such a positive place, how could there be a lack of sneers and contempt for evil?
So Luo Chen turned to look at the person beside him:
Why aren't you laughing?
Why aren't you laughing?
"To save the country and its people, one must laugh heartily and generously!"
After all the rioters were executed on the spot.
Luo Chen had the unconscious Stuart tied to a tree at the village entrance, then stood there and shouted into the village.
"Fellow villagers, do not be afraid, we are the Reunion Movement Salvation Team."
"Ursus is currently suffering greatly and is on the verge of collapse at any moment. Our Reunion Movement is legally saving the country in accordance with the Imperial Constitution."
"Nowadays, many corrupt individuals are impersonating the Reunion Movement to rob and defraud innocent villagers."
"In this regard, I hope all villagers can recognize that our Reunion Movement is legitimate."
"Our legitimate Reunion Movement is a public welfare organization established to save the nation and its people. We firmly uphold fairness and justice and advocate for humanity's positive and benevolent actions."
"Any other Reunion Movement are imposters."
"Our Reunion Movement will resolutely uphold the Ursus Constitution and ensure that all citizens can live and work in a fair and just social environment."
Luo Chen delivered a passionate speech at the village entrance, but only one person in the village was watching through a crack in the window.
They had no intention of showing themselves.
They were clearly also suspicious and fearful of Luo Chen and his group of Infected.
The only two audience members present.
These are the victim's wife and Dasha, who witnessed Luo Chen saving the village.
Dasha tilted her head curiously, not quite understanding what Luo Chen was saying:
"Is a country as large as Ursus on the verge of collapse?"
"That's right, little girl, an apocalyptic crisis is approaching, sweeping across the entire land."
"An apocalyptic crisis sweeping across the land? We're living perfectly normal lives right now."
Luo Chen wasn't angered by the ignorant little girl; he explained kindly:
"Normal? If our Salvation Squad hadn't passed by, this village would have been reduced to ashes. Is that normal?"
"Something seems wrong." Dasha thought about how everyone in her village was dead; for them, it was no different from the end of the world.
Chapter 144 He brainwashed the Imperial soldiers into believers in fairness.
Dasha's eyes flickered with doubt and unease as she stared at Luo Chen, as if searching for an answer.
Her voice trembled slightly as she asked:
"But where did this apocalyptic crisis that is sweeping across the land come from?"
"What can we do? And can we even resist?"
When this topic was brought up, Luo Chen's brows furrowed with worry for the country and its people.
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness:
"The root of this crisis lies in the fact that some people have rebelled against the Heavenly Gang and openly distorted the Empire's constitution, causing the light of fairness and justice that should have illuminated the world to be covered with a thick layer of dust."
"This country has committed far too many evils. Officials have usurped the emperor's power, acted perversely, and harmed innocent people."
"Soldiers becoming corrupt and degenerate into bandits, just like what happened today."
"Such a vile, despicable, and utterly immoral thing should never have happened under the rule of His Majesty the Emperor."
"This behavior has already incurred the wrath of the gods of heaven and earth, and they will punish all unrighteous creatures on this land."
"The increasingly frequent Catastrophes in recent years are a harbinger; sooner or later, the entire land will be shrouded in Catastrophes."
"All of humanity will be buried because of this."
His gaze was fixed on the distance, as if it could pierce through layers of mist and see directly at the evil force hidden in the darkness.
He continued:
"However, we humans still have hope."
"As long as fairness and justice are upheld on this land, and as long as all the people of Terra are guided onto the right path, then this apocalyptic catastrophe will fade away."
"Our Reunion Movement is for humanity's last hope in this struggle."
"We must eradicate everything that is illegal and violates human laws and morals. We must let fairness and justice flow to every corner of the earth. We must lead all the people of Terra onto the right path."
"Of course, this behavior may seem a bit reckless, but we will not give up."
"We must save Ursus, we must save this land."
"We will not give up until the earth is destroyed."
Dasha met Luo Chen's gaze. From the moment they first met, she felt that this uncle was not a bad person.
Because his eyes were full of kindness and compassion, just like her grandmother who loved her most when she was a child.
This uncle genuinely wanted to save them and this land.
It was this sincerity that made Dasha's soul tremble.
She felt she should do something too.
"Uncle, is there anything I can do for you?"
Dasha clenched her fists; she wanted to be like this uncle.
Save the village, save Ursus, save more innocent people.
"What you can do is very simple: do good deeds and promote fairness and justice."
As he spoke, Luo Chen took out a signal flare.
"I know that promoting fairness and justice will encounter many obstacles, but don't be afraid. When you encounter insurmountable difficulties, just launch this thing into the sky."
"As soon as they see your difficulties, all righteous people who are fighting to save the country and its people will come to your aid."
"We will ensure that there is no more pain and injustice on this land."
"Little girl, believe me, you're not alone in your efforts."
He took the signal gun from Luo Chen's hand.
Dasha's face was glistening with tears of emotion.
I never imagined that I, a country bumpkin, could fight to save the world.
"Yes, I will keep this safe."
Dasha nodded emphatically.
Although the signal gun consisted of just a launcher and fireworks, it felt as heavy as a mountain to her.
This signal flare is the village's hope, and also his own hope.
After interacting with Dasha, Luo Chen looked at the family of the only victim in this incident:
"Finally, we, the Reunion Movement Salvation Team, will read out the verdict against the rioters who looted this village."
"This thug disregarded Imperial Law, openly attacked an imperial village, and then slaughtered innocent people; he is here to be hanged."
Upon hearing that Stuart was to be hanged.
The heartbroken woman finally looked up and stared blankly at Stuart.
Some honest and simple-minded people don't know how to fight back even when they encounter an enemy.
However, it doesn't matter.
Luo Chen loved carrying out their orders.
As he spoke, Luo Chen had someone put a rope around Stuart's neck.
