Wendell was taken aback when he saw the Patriot behind Luo Chen.

However, she quickly greeted Luo Chen with utmost respect.

"Commander Luo, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

After being trained by Luo Chen for a month, he has now become the most loyal dog of the Reunion Movement.

Not only were their lives and fortunes firmly in Luo Chen's hands.

Under Luo Chen's guidance, he even handed over the money seized from the tax collection team to the Military Command.

As a result, he received the empire's recognition and promotion.

I believe that within a few months, I will be able to transfer from this remote base to the mobile city.

Now we see that Luo Chen has subdued the Patriot.

He felt even greater admiration for him.

Perhaps it won't be long before Chief of Staff Luo becomes a major figure who changes Ursus.

"No need for formalities, just lead us inside," Luo Chen said calmly.

"This way, please."

Wendell, like a lapdog, bent over and knelt down to guide Luo Chen.

"This person... there seems to be fear in their eyes... but also... a hint of... excitement."

Patriot were somewhat stunned and confused when they saw Wendell's appearance.

He couldn't understand what had happened to the Ursus officers.

That's why he would grovel before Luo Chen.

When they passed through the gate guards and stepped into the Ursus military base.

The Patriot's confusion was instantly replaced by a powerful sense of awe.

The base before them seemed to be corrupted by a strange force, with an indescribable eerie atmosphere permeating every corner.

From the guards at the gate to the soldiers on the parade ground, without exception, they were all members of the Reunion Movement.

Their shadows stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the imperial military camp.

Although some members of these Reunion Movement still wore Imperial Army uniforms, those uniforms were no longer the ones they were familiar with.

On the sleeves, the emblem that should have represented the glory of the empire was now replaced by the symbol of the Reunion Movement.

Those signs, like pairs of sharp eyes, silently watch over everyone who sets foot on this land, as if telling the story of the horrific events that once occurred at this base.

Patriot stood at the entrance of the base, his eyes blazing, but his heart was churning with indescribable emotions.

He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if an invisible giant hand was slowly tightening, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He couldn't imagine how a base could have ended up like this under the Empire's military system.

Did Luo Chen do all of this?

What did he do?

Although the Patriot could take down one of these small bases single-handedly.

However, this is completely different from Luo Chen taking over a base quietly.

The latter is much more difficult than the former.

The former only requires force.

To control a base undetected, one must deal with the Empire's regular communications and personnel rotations.

Unless this base can control people's hearts, it will be discovered by the Empire sooner or later.

"Luo Chen actually has a military base."

FrostNova was equally shaken at that moment.

Although I was also quite shocked when I first saw Luo Chen's armored vehicle convoy.

However, compared to entering the Empire's base without fighting a single battle, it's still too childish.

Base Commander's Office.

Luo Chen leaned against the dark brown lacquered wooden door frame with one hand.

"Come in and have a seat."

Luo Chen casually invited Patriot and his companion into the house, as if it were his own home.

Patriot and FrostNova were too shocked to express their feelings.

After closing the door.

Wendell immediately moved to Luo Chen's side with tears in his eyes:

"Chief of Staff Luo, my rank has been promoted, but I haven't been able to advance further because I haven't had any concrete combat achievements."

"What, is my base too small for you?"

Luo Chen's lips curled into a smile as he teased:

"If a new commander comes, I will inevitably have to spend some effort guiding him."

"Commander! I just really wanted to advance."

"Look at you, always in such a hurry."

Despite being criticized by Luo Chen, Wendell was not discouraged.

Because he noticed Luo Chen's smile.

Luo Chen's ability to laugh means the empire is about to suffer again.

If the empire suffers, won't it be short of manpower? This means there is still hope.

"As an informant planted by the organization within the Imperial Army, your position is indeed far too low."

How about I give you a military fortress?

Luo Chen spoke calmly, but Wendell listened with great eagerness.

A military fortress has at least a thousand soldiers.

It is also equipped with heavy firepower like the Originium Cannon.

The commander of this fortress does nothing all year round, yet he can still live a very comfortable life just by receiving a salary without working.

"No problem! Just give me this opportunity!"

"I will do everything in my power to corrupt the soldiers of the empire, diligently embezzle the empire's military funds, and leak the empire's intelligence to you at all times."

"Okay, now you don't need my instruction to know what to do."

Luo Chen looked at Wendell with appreciation.

He likes subordinates with strong self-reliance.

"However, every reward comes with a price in the book of fate. If you want to be promoted to fortress commander through exceptional means, you may have to pay a price."

"The Empire has ordered me to find a way to eliminate two local Chernobog noble officers."

"My plan to the Empire was to kidnap their families, then incite them to attack, lure them into an ambush, and then eliminate them."

"But seeing how eager you are to improve, I've decided to let you join the game."

"You also need to provide a relative for me to kidnap, then you can convene a meeting with them to discuss forming a coalition to launch a punitive expedition."

"The allied forces will ultimately achieve a great victory under your leadership, but one officer will be killed and the other wounded. The vacated military fortress is yours, and I'll take the Imperial Prison."

"How about it?"

After Luo Chen finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

However, what they were thinking about after their silence was different.

Wendell wondered which useless relative of his family was worth sending to be kidnapped.

FrostNova and Patriot, however, felt as if they had stumbled into the headquarters of a rebellion that was about to overthrow the empire.

In Luo Chen's words.

He was facing not a vast empire, but a piece of fat meat to be slaughtered at will.

To divide up the empire's power.

Is this something our Reunion Movement can do?

Chapter 204 Sincerity is the most powerful deception.

Patriot were the first to break the silence.

"Commander Luo... aren't you... underestimating... the Empire?"

"And... those two... officers?"

"Let's not talk about... the Empire's... cooperation..."

"Those two... commanders... can we trust them?"

Although the Patriot were deeply shocked by Luo Chen's outrageous remarks.

But his mind did not become confused as a result; on the contrary, he became even calmer and more rational.

He knew that Luo Chen's plan seemed feasible at first glance.

However, upon closer examination, a host of problems arise.

Why did the Empire agree to Wendell join the Allied Forces?

Won't Luo Chen's arrest of Wendell's relatives alert the Empire to something amiss?

More importantly, how can Luo Chen guarantee that the two officers will form a joint force to rescue the families?

It's important to understand that the officers who are feared by the empire but haven't been eliminated are all formidable figures.

Let alone one family member, even if the whole family were arrested, they might not necessarily come to the rescue.

"Indeed, this plan is too risky."

FrostNova may not understand the political situation in the Empire, but she understands Patriot.

The fact that the Patriot believed the plan was very risky indicates that the risk was indeed very high.

Luo Chen is currently infiltrating the empire's Reunion Movement, and has great potential for future endeavors.

There's no need to reveal our identities just for a fortress.

So FrostNova echoed:

"Attack a fortress is not too difficult for us."

"To achieve complete control without being discovered by the Empire is extremely difficult."

"If the empire discovers the problem, we will lose everything we have now."

The last to speak was Lieutenant Wendell.

He seemed to have no doubt about Luo Chen's plan at all, speaking with great eagerness, as if afraid of missing this opportunity:

"My family doesn't live in Chernobog, but I have a cousin Chernobog who is attending Chernobog high school."

"Last week, he offended the Rostov Family by bullying classmates at school, breaking a teacher's leg, and verbally abusing the student council president."

"Now that they've been suspended by the Chernobog Education Bureau, no one in the entire Chernobog dares to help them."

"His father used his connections to get me involved, hoping I could find someone at Saint Petersburg to reinstate his studies."

"I thought it would be better to use this connection to have my uncle bring my cousin to see me, and say that I introduced him to a high-ranking official through connections."

"Then, we intercepted them on the way?"
