Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 114: A Strange Seal from Yan Although they had successfully repelled an independent regiment of the Army Group.

After the members of the Reunion Movement celebrated for a whole night, everyone gradually recovered from their excitement and had to reconsider a pressing question: what to do next...

One regiment only had about two thousand men.

An Army Group, however, contained nearly thirty regiments.

And Ursus didn’t just have one Army Group. According to the Shieldguards’ speculation, this independent regiment likely belonged to the Third Army Group, and Ursus officially had five Army Groups...

To be honest, if Ursus really wanted to get serious about encircling and suppressing the Reunion Movement, they could simply dispatch a brigade. Even with Patriot and Lucas Reeve, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. After all, the firepower of a brigade was incomparable to that of a regiment. Even Patriot’s vast reserves of Originium energy couldn’t withstand that kind of bombardment for long.

The ordinary Infected couldn’t be bothered to think about these things anymore.

Having experienced so much together, and after the recent round of ’purification’, the current Reunion Movement had been almost completely transformed. In the past, these Infected joined Reunion simply because they had nowhere else to go and wanted to secure a meal. If a better offer came along elsewhere, they would leave in a heartbeat without looking back.

But it was different now.

They were completely loyal to the current Reunion Movement. Only after experiencing so much did they realize that today’s Reunion Movement was the last line of defense for the Infected. What good would leaving do? Instead of hiding in every corner, unable to eat their fill or dress warmly, constantly worried about being found by the Infected Pickets, it was better to be in the Reunion Movement and fight against these damned noble-led Army Groups together.

And the allegiance of these Infected naturally brought Lucas Reeve a considerable amount of Prayer Power.

Even though using the teleportation array had consumed ten thousand Prayer Power.

Lucas Reeve’s total Prayer Power had still reached one hundred thousand.

It had been a long time since Patriot had felt so exhausted.

For years, he had been like a machine that never needed to sleep. His robust pure-blood Wendigo constitution allowed him to function with very little rest; a short nap of half an hour a day was usually enough to restore his daily stamina. But this time, fighting an entire independent regiment alone had completely drained him.

Patriot slept for a whole day before slowly waking up. The Shieldguards once again swarmed him, praising the valor of Patriot fighting alongside Lucas Reeve.

Lucas Reeve also took the opportunity while Patriot was eating to briefly tell him about his experiences in Chernobog, including about Azazel and other matters.

”A soldier?”

Patriot was taken aback, frowning slightly when he heard Lucas Reeve mention the director of Azazel.

”I’m not sure if you know him, Mr. Patriot. The director of Azazel is named Hellagur. He’s incredibly strong, so his rank in the army must have been quite high.”

”Hellagur...”

Patriot was surprised.

And from the sound of Patriot’s voice, it was clear that he knew Hellagur, and their relationship seemed to be more than casual.

”So it was him... With his resources, it’s indeed not much of a problem to forcibly protect a group of Infected in Chernobog....”

”Dad, you know Mr. Hellagur?”

FrostNova, who was standing nearby, was also surprised that they knew each other.

”You could say we’re acquainted... We fought side-by-side once...”

After Patriot finished his simple meal, the several high-ranking members of the Reunion Movement gathered in the tent to discuss their next steps.

Clearly.

They could no longer stay in this place. Setting aside the freezing, snowy environment, they had killed so many soldiers from an independent regiment and even slaughtered the foppish son of a Lieutenant General. Ursus would absolutely not let this go.

This gave Lucas Reeve a bit of a headache.

It had the flavor of a cultivation novel.

Beat the young one, and the old one might show up. Beat the old one, and the even older one might show up...

And...

Lucas Reeve didn’t necessarily find the Army Group to be the most troublesome part. The main issue was that Black Serpent.
