You are doing things for the Luo God; it is because the Luo God thinks highly of you, and you should be grateful.

To make the Goddess of Luo God's kindness even greater.

Luo Chen decided to do him a small favor:

"Isn't the city council in an uproar right now?"

"To be honest, I just came back from there. The council is still worried about how to defend against your attack."

Bashar gave a bitter smile.

His military and police forces have all been wiped out by the Reunion Movement in the past two days. They said they were going to participate in discussions, but no one paid any attention to him.

I'm afraid no one will even care if he leaves.

Without real ability, and only possessing an empty reputation, it will be very difficult for me to complete my mission.

"Before Boris died, he allocated you two thousand soldiers, which I have already assembled outside Chernobog. As one of the only two military forces among the local Chernobog nobles, I think you should know what to do next."

Luo Chen stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

Bashar looked gratefully at Luo God's retreating figure, feeling that he had once again received a favor, and he was at a loss for words.

Luo Chen gave him two thousand men for a very simple reason.

That is, the management team among these two thousand people are all from the Reunion Movement, firstly to supervise Bashar, and secondly to infiltrate Chernobog.

However, Bashar was unaware of this and should thank him.

"Thank you for your immense kindness and generosity. From this day forward, I will dedicate my life to you."

Chapter 216 Patriot Old Deng, do you still dare to have any objections?

The meeting rooms at Saint Petersburg -Prés and the Winter Palace are clean and solemn.

A long, circular table sits in the center of the conference room.

Several crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and the carefully polished details on the walls and neutral tones make the entire interior look bright and spacious.

At this very moment.

Fyodor is enjoying the praise from his ministers.

"His Majesty seized military power from those bumpkins in Chernobog without lifting a finger."

"His Majesty's plans are truly far-reaching."

"Now that the last remaining threat to the Chernobog Project has been eliminated, our plans are now significantly ahead of schedule."

"That's right, the Reunion Movement's performance has exceeded our expectations. Now, the Reunion Movement's reputation in Chernobog has reached its lowest point."

"Everyone knows that Reunion Movement is a brutal organization of Infected, so we'll have to save a lot of effort in our upcoming propaganda campaign."

"Should we move up our plans?"

"No, December is the peak season for Catastrophes. Only during this time can we ensure that enough civilians die."

Only after everyone had finished their boasting did Speaker Witte cough lightly:

"Thanks to His Majesty's skillful intervention, our plan is proceeding very smoothly."

"However, the last moment is the most dangerous."

"Although we have most of the Reunion Movement's forces under our control, Patriot and FrostNova are still a significant threat."

"As planned, the Sarkaz mercenaries we hired will also be arriving in Chernobog."

"Who should we hand over these mercenaries to?"

Witte brought everyone back to the topic at hand.

According to the original plan, these mercenaries were naturally to be handed over to Talulah, the leader of the Reunion Movement.

However, Lermontov's performance was exceptionally brilliant.

Now, by collaborating with Wendell and achieving such a significant feat, the emperor has gained a tremendous political advantage in suppressing the nobility.

Therefore, this issue needs to be reconsidered.

"It's Lermontov, of course. He deserves a reward for his meritorious service this time."

"And Wendell, promote him to colonel and make him the defense commander of the Chernobog region."

Fyodor answered directly.

Having just accomplished something significant, he is now exceptionally confident.

The meeting turned into a one-man show.

Witte frowned slightly and reminded him:

"Your Majesty, we must continue to strengthen Lermontov's power. If he harbors disloyalty, it will be extremely detrimental to our plans."

Speaker Witte's reminder greatly displeased the overconfident Fyodor.

How?

Am I, the mighty Emperor of Ursus, not allowed to promote a loyal subject?

"Lermontov would be disloyal? I have never seen anyone more loyal than him."

"But we have no surveillance forces around Lermontov." Someone else raised a new concern, but it was immediately met with a rebuttal from Fyodor:

"Do you think you can keep an eye on Talulah? Who dares to guarantee with their head that Talulah won't run into trouble?"

"Then let's proceed as His Majesty wishes," Speaker Witte sighed.

Clearly, His Majesty the Emperor has become arrogant because of his own actions.

At this point, all the suggestions from others were perceived as fault-finding by His Majesty.

The more you try to persuade someone, the more determined they become to do things their own way.

However, Witte instinctively still distrusted Lermontov.

Because that person was so considerate of His Majesty the Emperor, Fyodor's arrogance and confidence today are entirely due to that person's plan.

It's not that it's bad for His Majesty to have loyal ministers, but rather that great loyalty can appear as treachery.

Having a subordinate who does things so perfectly that it inflates the boss's ego and causes them to lose their rational judgment is not a good thing.

Inside the Chernobog Border Fortress.

After receiving the appointment from the Empire to Wendell, Luo Chen smiled and handed the letter of appointment to Wendell:

"Fyodor is quite sensible; I originally thought he would at most appoint you as the commander of this fortress."

"I never expected him to make you the Chief of Military Affairs of Chernobog. This kid clearly wants to use you to swallow up all the local armies in Chernobog."

"It seems you are highly regarded by Fyodor; you're sure to soar to great heights in the future."

"Then I congratulate you in advance, Wendell."

Wendell's face lit up with joy upon hearing of the Empire's appointment.

However, he quickly calmed down and immediately knelt down before Luo Chen.

"It was all orchestrated by our master. I dare not be complacent. I will certainly strive and work hard for our master's great cause from now on."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, but did not reply. Instead, he turned to look at Patriot standing to the side.

"Old man, can you support me as the leader of the Reunion Movement now?"

Do you still doubt my ability to lead the Reunion Movement to better serve Ursus?

"From now on, study hard with me. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west."

"Speak up, are you mute?"

Patriot remained silent for a long time.

She just silently watched Luo Chen, the red light in her eyes flashing on and off, as if she had a problem with what Luo Chen said, but dared not say it.

FrostNova stood behind Luo Chen, like his secretary.

She didn't know what to do in this inexplicably tense atmosphere, and could only try her best to keep her expression unchanged.

FrostNova had no idea how Luo Chen got the courage to calmly and composedly lecture the Patriot.

She even referred to her father as an old man.

He seemed to genuinely regard his father as just another ordinary soldier.

Criticizing or educating without proper guidance or consent.

Listening to Luo Chen's disrespectful and rude remarks.

The Patriot was angry, but he had no choice but to comply.

After all, he had watched Luo Chen's entire operation.

From two local military officers to the emperor, they were all his pawns.

Luo Chen killed over a hundred officers, causing such a huge incident, yet instead of enraging the empire, he received a commendation.

A Reunion Movement cadre who plotted to seize the country was actually regarded as a loyal subject by the empire. Who can he complain to?

At the same time, Patriot lamented that the gentleman from the Shapeshifter Collective was thankfully unrelated to that brat Luo Chen.

Otherwise, the entire land would be a plaything for the Shapeshifter Collective.

The Patriot sighed:

"I... have... no... opinion... I... underestimated... you... before."

After Patriot finished speaking, FrostNova breathed a sigh of relief.

She simply couldn't handle this chaotic situation.

"Since none of you have any objections, then we should convene the Reunion Movement Conference on a chosen date to determine the true leader of the Reunion Movement."

"Talulah should be demoted to a position that suits her."

Luo Chen's voice was firm, powerful, and full of confidence.

Back in Lungmen, Talulah's statement directly stripped me of my legitimate authority as Lungmen's chief.

He's now letting this old woman experience the thrill of changing everything overnight.

Chapter 217: Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers Around the Black Snake.

"Luo Chen, do you want to Talulah power and control the entire Reunion Movement by yourself?"

"Didn't you say the Empire was plotting something? Won't what we're doing make the Empire suspicious?"

It was FrostNova who said this.

Through Luo Chen, she learned that the Empire was using the Reunion Movement for a clandestine plan.

Although Luo Chen was posing as an imperial spy, wouldn't the empire suspect something if one mole eliminated the others and became the leader?

"Little White, you're right."

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Therefore, we must let the Empire know about my plan, so that we won't be blamed or suspected."

"What if you tell the Empire about your plan and they refuse to approve it?"

FrostNova was not happy about Luo Chen's growing power; she felt that the more power Luo Chen controlled, the more dangerous it would be for them.

A plan that even the emperor was involved in must have involved countless stakeholders.

Luo Chen's usurpation of power has directly led this plan into an uncertain future.

Those guys hiding behind the scenes, aren't they going to be in an uproar?

"So I approved them first."

Under FrostNova's astonished gaze, Luo Chen pulled out a telegram from his pocket that was sent half a month ago.

In the telegram, the Third Army Group General Staff agreed to his plan to become the leader of the Reunion Movement.
