Ark Undead

"PhD!"

Amiya heard the Doctor call her name and turned around happily. She then carefully helped the Doctor prop himself up against the wall behind him.

"Now it is..."

The doctor surveyed his surroundings, the sounds of secret shouts and the crisp clash of weapons ringing out in his ears, which suddenly brought something to the surface of his mind.

Like a wolf that has smelled a delicious aroma, it opened its scarlet eyes.

"What's the situation now? Where are we?"

Through his mask, the doctor saw the walls, figures, and the battlefield outside the building.

"Doctor, you just fainted. We were taking you away from Chernobog, but we encountered people blocking our way."

Amiya tried her best to explain the current situation to the Doctor in the fewest possible words.

"We're surrounded on the road. Senior Ace and Miss Nearl have decided to defend around a building for now and wait for Mr. Undead to return before making a decision."

"Number of people, types of people, combat strength."

The doctor struggled to his feet, his head still spinning, but his mind was perfectly clear.

Amiya helped the Doctor to his feet as she spoke.

"Ace's team has 13 members, and Nearl's team has 133 members. Each team is equipped with 3 assault soldiers, 3 scouts, 2 sorcerers, 2 crossbowmen, and 2 healers. Including you and me, Doctor, there are 28 people present now. The number of enemies is unknown, but it is roughly around 50, and other personnel are constantly joining the battle."

Amiya seemed to have sensed something, and her voice grew louder as she spoke, her eyes revealing undisguised joy.

Nearl frowned slightly; Amiya meant that the Doctor was going to be the overall commander.

but...

After glancing at the Doctor, who had just stood up and was immediately assessing his surroundings, Nearl shut her mouth for the time being and decided to observe first.

"No, it's 27."

The doctor shook his head, glancing back at the window behind him. Operators were defending the small building. But in the distance, a steady stream of Reunion members continued to join the battle.

This is the most troublesome point: their numbers are limited, but the enemies are endless.

He dragged his weak body around the room, visually assessing the situation.

The man suddenly fell silent and lowered his head.

Nearl was ready to leave the room at any time to support her team members. Seeing the Doctor's appearance, she guessed that the Doctor didn't have any good ideas either, so she had no choice but to continue with the original plan.

"Then let's wait for Mr. Undying to return, and then we..."

"No, we can't wait."

The doctor suddenly spoke up, contradicting everyone's previous assumptions.

"Although I don't know exactly how powerful the immortals you're talking about are, at least the stamina of the 27 currently active fighters is constantly decreasing. Under these circumstances, it's impossible to hold out until someone returns and maintains their original fighting strength to break through again."

"It seems that the enemy intends to trap us here, and they may have some other tricks up their sleeve. But at least we can't just sit here and wait to die."

Upon hearing the doctor mention these things, Amiya's expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed.

"A natural disaster! I know, it's a natural disaster!"

Lin Guang immediately remembered this important matter; they had been discussing the impact of natural disasters when they encountered the enemy. However, during battle, it's easy to overlook these factors affecting the battlefield.

"A natural disaster?"

The doctor's tone was slightly doubtful, but he quickly recovered.

"No matter what, break through! We can't stop, now, immediately!"

Amiya looked at Nearl. Although she was nominally the commander, the most important thing now was whether Nearl and Ace agreed with Amiya's opinion.

Ace, needless to say, already knew how capable the Doctor was. But Nearl was different; although she was an important operator, she had never interacted with the Doctor.

But Lin Guang quickly realized that she herself was not proficient in battlefield command, but only had experience in squad strategy. The current situation was clearly out of her control, so it would be better to let someone more professional handle it.

"I understand. From now on, I will follow the doctor's instructions."

Lin Guang nodded, then immediately pressed the earpiece next to her ear and gave a briefing to everyone.

"Attention everyone, the plan has been changed. Command is now transferred to the Doctor. Implement the breakout plan devised by the Doctor!"

Lin Guang's serious voice came through the headset, causing all the combat personnel to feel a slight tremor.

PhD?

The doctor is awake?!

Ace was also somewhat surprised to turn around during a gap in his defense and glance at the situation in the room. Through the dim glass, he saw a figure dressed in black standing next to Amiya.

Turning around, Ace smashed the wooden shield blocking his way with a punch, grabbed the Reunion Movement operative by the neck, and threw him away.

Even his strength increased.

Amiya turned to look at the Doctor, tilted her head, took the command headset that connected to the group's earpiece from her right ear, and handed it to the man who had just woken up beside her.

"Doctor, it's yours now."

Amiya looked at him with eyes full of trust and hope.

Looking into Amiya's eyes, the Doctor silently took the headset she handed him and put it into his ear under the mask.

Then he reached out and pressed down on the hood.

Instantly, a clear male voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"I am the Doctor you speak of, and I am now taking command of the battlefield. Command of Amiya, Nearl, and Ace is hereby revoked, and I will take command of all operators. Any objections, raise them immediately, now!"

For three seconds, the sounds of gunfire continued. But no dissenting voices came through the earpiece.

All the operators remained silent after hearing the Doctor's voice.

“Very good. From now on, the two squads will be ordered as assault soldiers, scouts, sorcerers, crossbowmen, and medics, with the class combination in the order of 12345. Squad Ace will be Squad A, and Squad Nearl will be Squad B.”

The doctor went to the window, flipped over and jumped out, still holding down his headphones as he did so.

"Ace, report your position. Assemble A1 and B1 units. Report back to me once assembled! A2 and B2 units, take charge of protecting units 3, 4, and 5 nearby. Everyone, assemble at the back of the building. I need you to break through the encirclement and reach my position within half a minute! Understand?"

"Understood, Doctor!"

Everyone instinctively responded to the voice in their headsets. Although many had never met the doctor, this brief, less than half-minute instruction clearly explained what everyone needed to do and made them fully understand their responsibilities.

This alone is enough to earn the trust of the vast majority of people.

"Near Light, Amiya, you two stay close to me, I need your protection."

The Doctor looked at Amiya and Nearl who had followed him out of the window with a clear mind. He didn't try to be a hero; he simply gave orders in the most reasonable way.

"Yes!"

Nearl and Amiya exchanged a glance, and Nearl saw a strange sense of pride in Amiya's eyes.

At this moment, Lin Guang temporarily put aside her doubts. At least for now, the Doctor's composure in the face of danger had temporarily convinced Lin Guang.

Within half a minute, operators gathered from both sides of the building, forming two walls around the Doctor.

Once the last operator had arrived, the Doctor pressed the earpiece next to his ear once more.

"A1B1 units and Ace are responsible for the first line of fire to charge forward. I need you to open a way out."

Soon, Ace, as the vanguard, led the two assault teams forward, opening a path wide enough for people to pass through.

"A2B2 units, get close! Don't let the outsiders get in. The rest of you, maintain an arc formation, no more than two meters apart, and break outwards!"

As he spoke, the Doctor, with the help of Amiya and Nearl, charged outwards from the central position of the Warlock, Crossbowman, and Medic.

Nearl was standing guard beside the Doctor. Anyone who dared to cross the protective perimeter would face the warhammer in her hand.

Amiya, like the remaining four sorcerers, used the gaps in the retreat to coordinate with the A2B2 scouts on both sides to eliminate any survivors who had crossed the first line of defense.

Once the last person had broken out of the Reunion Movement's encirclement, the Doctor immediately issued a new order.

“现在，A1B1小队与A2B2小队进行重组，负伤者转移至2号队伍，体力还有盈余者转移到A1B1小队。转移完成后，A1B1小队原地等待后方追击者，掩护其余2345队伍进行后撤。从现在开始，Ace归属进A1B1小队。”

After saying that, the professor added another sentence.

"I don't want you to maintain a squad size of three. Remember, don't be reckless, follow orders!"

Originally, an assault soldier with a large gash on his shoulder intended to act as a shield to protect his comrades. However, after hearing the doctor's order, he hesitated for a moment and decisively switched positions with a member of the original second-class unit behind him.

Under the doctor's direction, everyone carried out the handover work in an orderly manner.

Now, standing around Ace are both assault operatives originally from A1B1 and many scouts from A2B2.

But everyone watched as the 2345 crossbowmen who had been behind them passed them and continued forward.

The remaining members of the No. 1 unit all turned around at the same time to look at the Reunion Movement members chasing after them.

Ace reached out and tapped the shield in front of him, his excitement palpable.

It's been so long since I've had such a well-organized battle!

Sure enough, the doctor is still the doctor; even if he lost his memory, he didn't lose his abilities!

By the time Squad 1 actually engaged the enemy, the others had run about fifty meters away from them.

It was at this moment that the doctor stopped.

“A1B1小队放弃抵抗，向大部队靠拢。A3A4全员回头，展开迎敌阵型，掩护A1B1后撤！其余人继续后撤，与A3A4小队拉开五十米距离马上停下。”

The doctor gave the order again, this time splitting the entire team into two groups once more.

The crossbowmen and sorcerers had been waiting for this moment. The crossbowmen excitedly raised their weapons and fired at the sky behind them.

The warlocks also raised their staffs and unleashed Originium magic to attack the Reunion Movement members behind Ace and the others.

"Once A2B2 and A5B5 reach the designated distance, they should immediately begin treatment and wait for the rear troops to withdraw. This tactical configuration should be repeated. I want you to make the most of every minute. Each time A2B2 squad takes over from A1B1 squad, they should immediately and consciously change personnel configurations. Seriously wounded personnel are not allowed to join the first-class soldiers."

The doctor took a deep breath, trying to speak while running, given his current strength. It was indeed a bit of a stretch, but he still managed to utter his last sentence.

"Excuting an order!"

"Yes, Doctor!"

This time, no one questioned the doctor's command in the slightest.

In just two minutes, he not only gathered battlefield information and understood the gap in combat power between the enemy and himself, but also led everyone out of the encirclement and effectively organized a retreat tactic.

The previously scattered blocking forces were all gathered together, and everyone's tasks were meticulously assigned, with orders even being given to individuals.
