Xing Chen and Theresa both couldn't understand why Originium from the western mines of Ursus would appear in a base in the eastern part of the Northern Country.

Logically, shouldn't it be the same as the Originium samples from the eastern mines?

Could it be that the Originium used by Babylon Base was originally discovered in the western part of the Northern Country?

There might be some corresponding relationship, Xing Chen guessed.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to investigate now, because Talulah and her people had already finished their transfer.

Next, he was going to introduce some collaborators to them.

"Bozdcasti, Talulah, tell your people to go back for now. I'm going to introduce some people from the Ursus Empire to you."

Xing Chen and Theresa suddenly reappeared beside everyone, and the few who had spoken privately before were no longer surprised.

"How did you appear here?" Yelena of the Yeti Squadron had left early last time and didn't participate in the meeting.

Actually, there was another reason: Xing Chen didn't quite trust her ability to keep secrets.

Patriot, not to mention, it was inconvenient for him to speak before. And Alina could keep the Black Serpent's secret until death, so her sense of confidentiality was strict enough.

As for Talulah, she used to do dirty work under Koschei, so she definitely had training in this area.

In contrast, Yelena... she was just an ordinary Cattus, and her experiences on Terra were nothing special.

Things like losing both parents at a young age, being infected with Oripathy, and leading troops in battle... these were almost standard for Sarkaz, and very common among the lower-class people in the wilderness of other races.

Xing Chen suspected that her squad members could have their secrets extracted after a few drinks.

Now, he held the same attitude, and revealing this time's objective could genuinely cause harm.

"What do you mean? The Reunion Movement isn't yours, an outsider, to command."

Seeing Xing Chen try to hide behind Ivan and Theresa, Yelena directly grabbed his arm, intending to make things clear to him.

"Yelena, let him go." Patriot knew this man was by the Demon King's side, so his identity must be extraordinary. His adopted daughter shouldn't bother him.

"Hmph! It's just that you don't want to share your sorcery, and I don't care for it either." Patriot had spoken, so Yelena could only express her dissatisfaction with a forceful flick.

The Ursus rabbits and the Leimbieta rabbits still had different personalities.

Her father had met this Sarkaz once before, and his Oripathy had suddenly improved significantly. It must be that this Sarkaz noble possessed some sorcery.

Not wanting to share it with outsiders, he specifically found someone to speak for him.

Although she said that, she actually still wanted it very much. The Oripathy condition of the people in her squad was also not optimistic; the pain during flare-ups was something all Infected knew.

"Alright, since you want to know what we're talking about, then stay," Theresa helped Xing Chen reattach his drooping arm. The black rabbit was much nicer than the white rabbit; who would just grab someone like that? "As long as you don't get so scared you can't sleep. I don't want to interpret dreams for an unlovable Cattus."

Yelena insisted on participating, and Xing Chen had no objection; after all, the Imperial Guard's secret belonged to Ursus.

So, after the irrelevant people left, Theresa took out the remaining boundless flower petals used for marking.

Yelena was full of vigilance towards these three newcomers. She didn't understand why everyone else trusted them so much.

"Hiss-- Exhale--"

Accompanied by heavy breathing, the pristine white snow gradually became stained with black.

The four members of the Reunion Movement began to panic inexplicably; they were very familiar with this feeling.

The blade of the Empire, the Ursus Imperial Guard, had returned.

"Greetings to you, Bozdcasti." The leading Imperial Guard stopped at a distance, leading the young Imperial Guard in a military salute to Patriot.

Patriot did not respond, merely holding his brand-new giant halberd and shield silently. He believed that with Theresa's character, she would not do anything to harm them.

But the other few instantly became uneasy, especially Yelena. The last time her Yeti Squadron encountered the Imperial Guard, they were practically ground into the dirt.

"I told you to leave earlier," Xing Chen stood up, patted Yelena's shoulder, and then dragged her away by her ear. The pain from her ear made her body unconsciously cooperate until she could move freely again.

After sending away the stubbornly suffering Yelena, Xing Chen came to the Imperial Guard again. Looking at the Imperial Guard who was several heads taller than him, he calmly extended his hand.

"Give us back the petals."

The Imperial Guards looked at this man, who was powerless but stood calmly before them, and couldn't help but feel a question arise in their hearts.

"Why are you not afraid?"

"Not afraid is not afraid."

Xing Chen maintained his outstretched hand, and the Imperial Guards had no choice but to hand over the petals.

"One petal is missing." Xing Chen had carefully recorded the number of petals. Upon discovering the discrepancy, he immediately threatened calmly, "Do you want to know how those three Imperial Guards died?"

Xing Chen, of course, wouldn't reveal the matter of instantly killing Subspace derivatives by utilizing the stable anchor's properties. He wanted to guide the other party to think in the direction of "the boundless flower killed the Imperial Guards."

Ultimately, the Imperial Guard couldn't withstand the pressure and handed over the last boundless flower petal.

"Alright, let's continue discussing the details we didn't clarify before." Xing Chen led the Imperial Guard representative to the spot reserved for them.

Perhaps the distance was a bit too close, as Alina's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The older Imperial Guard seemed to notice this detail and offered to maintain a certain distance.

"The best way to eliminate fear is to face it directly," Xing Chen said to the Imperial Guard, then turned to Alina, holding her hand and saying, "You can do it."

Alina stared at Xing Chen, then glanced at Talulah, and finally made up her mind and nodded.

"I'm very curious, why are the Emperor's Imperial Guards here?" Patriot was the first to ask the question.

"Because we believe that every Ursus who contributes to the Ursus Empire should be respected, whether he is an Infected or not."

"Then how do you explain the Ursus Empire's current cruel policies towards the Infected?" Talulah wasn't surprised by the Imperial Guards' statements. The Imperial Guards they encountered last time had a similar attitude.

"That was just the mistake of a few people. In the era of the former Emperor, even if they were Infected, capable individuals would be given important positions."

As he spoke, the Imperial Guard's emotions suddenly fluctuated, and his breathing became heavier.

"Some people betrayed the great Ursus. We are here to eliminate the traitors of the Empire."

"And use us as your blade?"

"No, this is a transaction, Draco." The Imperial Guard forced his emotions to gradually stabilize. The fragments of the evil demon could not withstand overly intense emotional fluctuations. "You eliminate the traitors for us, and we guarantee your survival."

"Then how do you guarantee that after the traitors are eliminated, you won't turn around and kill us?"

"It's simple. The Demon King over there will vouch for it. She easily killed three of our colleagues by herself and returned their scimitars and protective suits."
