Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

As for Lin Guang and Vika, they were helping the older women pick peaches in the orchard. Qin Duanyu, who had very poor athletic ability, was still unable to help much and almost fell off the ladder, which actually affected Lin Guang and the others' work.

Knowing that continuing to help would only backfire and might even cause him to lose the favor, Qin Duanyu could only find an inconspicuous place to hide and think about his return to Longmen.

A little while later, he heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Boris walking over.

"You must be the leader of the outsiders?" Boris asked without any politeness, stating it with certainty.

"Brother, you have a good eye. How did you figure that out?" Qin Duanyu asked curiously. Boris had only met them once so far. Could it be that, like in the novels, he had developed the so-called aura of a superior because he had been commanding the operators in battle for many years?

"He can't do anything, he must be the landlord's stupid son." Boris curled his lip and said irritably, "Uncle Neptune said you're going to Lungmen?"

"Yes, I have a relative over there, and I plan to go and stay with him." Qin Duanyu took a deep breath, and considering that she was no match for the person in front of her, she wisely chose to ignore the taunts.

What kind of skill is that? If you're so capable, try flirting with me! I'll leave you in the dust!

"When your family sent you to school, you weren't just thinking about women; you must have put some useful thoughts into your head!" Boris said, pulling something from his pocket and throwing it into his arms.

"What's this?" Qin Duanyu asked curiously, opening the package to find a map.

Although it was not much different from the military map that had been captured, it had many small paths that were not shown on the military map marked in detail, and some places were marked with words such as "reindeer sighted", "hare sighted", and "possible landslide".

“You can’t even understand such a simple thing as the topographical map I drew while hunting? Then I really wonder how you found the village. By luck?” Boris continued sarcastically.

"Thank you." Qin Duanyu put the map away, her opinion of this guy had changed quite a bit.

Despite his foul mouth, he's surprisingly a good person.

"No need to thank me. If it weren't for Uncle Neptune's request, I wouldn't care whether you live or die," Boris said, and left without looking back.

Suddenly, Qin Duanyu seemed to remember something, took out the map that the Reunion Movement had stolen, compared it slightly with the one in her hand, and her face showed a look of realization.

deserter?!

But... what does this have to do with him? He's just the landlord's foolish son.

Chapter 25, Section 203: Good News! We Have Brother Red Knife Here!

"Hoo! Cool!"

After enjoying a hot meal and a relaxing hot bath, Qin Duanyu felt her muscles relax completely while soaking in the wooden tub. The fatigue from days of travel was swept away, and she couldn't help but exclaim in delight.

Sometimes, happiness is just that simple and pure.

"Wow, I always thought you were flat-chested. I didn't realize you were so well-endowed. Why are you wearing a bra wrap?"

"It's inconvenient for fighting, and the armor is too cramped, so this is how it is."

"I don't think you understand. You're abusing them like this every day, no wonder their swelling is getting bigger and bigger. Let me massage it for you. Oh, why is your face so red?"

Especially since he could faintly hear the girls playing on the other side of the wall, Qin Duanyu's blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but think of some strange scenes. It took him a long time to calm down again.

In fact, the relationship between the two girls improved a lot after this adventure. At least they no longer pretended not to see each other, and when they needed to communicate, they would subconsciously tease each other a bit.

Back when they first met in Lungmen, they would never have imagined that the two people who almost had a life-or-death duel by throwing gloves at each other would happily squeeze into the same wooden tub to take a bath.

Why not use this connection to lure the Great White Bear to Rhodes Island? Qin Duanyu pondered the possibility of doing so. He had previously enjoyed a buy-one-get-one-free deal when he tricked the mayor's daughter into coming to the island, and he also had a powerful sniper named Black. If he tricked the speaker's daughter into coming to the island, it would be at least a buy-one-get-five-free deal.

He not only coveted the surging polar bear, but also the five shield guards under her command who were responsible for protecting her.

"Ah!"

Qin Duanyu sneezed and realized that the water in the wooden tub had gone cold. She could only shiver as she got out of the tub, complaining about how cold it was in the mountains at night, while also missing the dormitory on Rhodes Island with its 24-hour hot water and bathroom heater.

After getting dressed and leaving the house, Oleg and the others were still drinking with old Nippon.

"Come on, have some more roasted venison. Luckily you were here, the work that would have taken several days was finished in just one afternoon!" Old Neptune raised his cup and kept clinking it with Oleg and the others.

Food was no longer a concern. After helping out at every household, Oleg and his companions were covered in dried goods, looking like they were heading to the market. Some enthusiastic villagers even offered to provide them with a cart to carry their goods...

"If you ask me, you shouldn't take such a big risk going to Longmen. The road is too dangerous. Why don't you just settle down in the village? Those empty houses can be moved into with a little tidying up, and there are plenty of abandoned fields outside the village..." The aunt brought out the roasted meat and advised with a smile.

Their children were also taken away to do forced labor and never came back, so when they see young and hardworking men, they inevitably feel a sense of affection for them and hope that these young people can stay.

Apart from the one whose face was obscured, she was acting like a girl, insisting on taking a hot bath. Couldn't she be a bit more manly like Oleg and the others and bathe in the river?

He's never experienced hardship and can't work; he's probably a landlord's foolish son. But for the sake of these fine young men, it's not impossible to reluctantly take him in. We can just teach him how to farm from scratch.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, although Sig Village is very nice, we still want to go to Lungmen to see the world." Vika shook her head helplessly in the face of the aunt's enthusiastic gaze.

Although being with these kind and simple old people brought Vika an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility, a feeling she had never experienced in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the burdens she carried prevented her from being so willful.

"Old Nip, it's terrible! Robbers are here!" The aunt wanted to say a few more words of advice, but the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and the old farmer who had led them into the village during the day ran in covered in blood.

"You're injured? Get it bandaged right away." Old Neptune suddenly stood up and limped over to him.

"No, it's not my blood, it's the robbers'. Boris saved me, and I'm confronting them now." The old farmer hurriedly waved his hand, panting as he said, "Boris said the people who came are from that 'prank movement'!"

"What?!" Old Neptune's eyes widened. Perhaps the other villagers did not know what this meant, but having served in the army for many years, he naturally knew the difficulty of conquering a mobile city, which was far beyond what ordinary bandits and robbers could achieve.

Moreover, the village was full of elderly people, and Boris, a young man, had no chance of resisting an attack. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look to Oleg and the others for help.

"Uncle Nip, don't worry. You quickly organize everyone to prepare for the evacuation. We'll go hold off those bastards." Oleg wiped the oil off his hands, grabbed his saber, and said seriously.

Not to mention the villagers of Xige Village warmly welcomed them; protecting the safety of their own people is a soldier's duty.

……

"Doctor, are these people following us?" Vika asked worriedly on the way. If so, they would be endangering the villagers of Sig Village.

"No, they probably just came to steal our food." Qin Duanyu pursed his lips. He felt that next time before going out, he must have Miss Yuanshan tell his fortune so that he wouldn't keep encountering such bad luck.

This bad luck refers to the Reunion Movement.

As soon as they stepped out of the village chief's hut, the situation of the Reunion Movement was revealed from a god-like perspective. The number of people blocking the village entrance was not large, just the size of an ordinary squad, mainly composed of swordsmen and shieldmen, with a small number of sorcerers and crossbowmen.

If they really did come all the way from the altar, they must have been at least the Patriots' elite troops or Mephistopheles' herds, definitely not these cannon fodder.

"Valentin and Alyosha will cut off the enemy's retreat, Oleg and Nearl will charge in, and Vika, you guys will finish them off..." Qin Duanyu was assigning tasks when he suddenly stopped and pointed straight ahead.

"Doctor, what's wrong?" Oleg asked in confusion, following the direction of his finger, his mouth agape in disbelief.

Boris, wielding a long sword in the style of the Eastern Kingdom, charged into the Reunion Movement's crowd. In just one exchange, the leader of the sword-and-shield squad was cleaved in two, shield and all.

Boris, on the other hand, remained calm. He simply flicked the blood off his blade and charged at the crossbowmen and sorcerers. The crossbow bolts were easily deflected by his blade, and the spells could not hit his agile figure at all.

In just a few breaths, the katana had reaped several lives, and dark red liquid flowed down Boris's clothes.

“It’s Boris, Boris the Avenger! I saw him once when we attacked the core area of ​​Chernobog. He was the one who killed the enemy commander with a single blow!” a Reunion member said in a trembling voice, his crotch soaked with sweat.

"Holy crap, Red Knife Bro?"

If Qin Duanyu still couldn't recognize Boris's identity at this point, then all the beatings he endured in the Crisis Contract would have been for nothing. Even if he wasn't the kind of player who was buffed by a bunch of superpowers, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

Now, he's starting to sympathize with these reckless reunification movements.

Chapter 26, Section 204: Bad News - Froststar is on their side.

A pool of autumn water, clear and pure, from afar its light shines like a knife; cutting through the ruins of a city, it is truly a war god, its dominance unmatched.

This poem was written by a Doctor who personally experienced the power of the Red Blade Bro during the Crisis Contract event. It was later deleted by Kal'tsit for encouraging the enemy's arrogance, and Qin Duanyu only saw it online by chance.

Now, seeing Boris wielding knives in both hands, slaughtering the Reunion Movement like mowing grass, it's as if he's returned to the ruins of Chernobog, where he was tortured a thousand times over. Thanks to Red Knife Bro, he's reminded of those days of copying homework.

I dare not move, not even a little bit.

By the time old Neptune pulled out his prized military knife and led the other villagers over, the battle was nearing its end. The ground was littered with mutilated limbs, while Boris stood in the middle, sword in hand.

The bloody scene made some elderly people unable to even hold onto their hoes and tea, and instead leaned against the wall to vomit. Qin Duanyu couldn't help but wonder who was really the one being burned, killed, and looted.

Seeing the villagers who were keeping watch lying on the ground, their fates unknown, my sympathy vanished instantly. This kind of villain who even beat up old men and women should be sent to the afterlife as soon as possible.

"Miss Nearl, how is she?" Seeing Nearl treating the injured, old Neptune wanted to go and help, but her quick movements and the light constantly emanating from her hands made him realize that going over there would only cause trouble.

This technique is far superior to any of the military doctors he had seen in the Ursus army before.

"Don't worry, Uncle Nip, they weren't seriously injured. I've already treated their wounds, and they'll be fine after a few days of rest," Nearl said softly, turning around without pausing her Originium Arts release.

On the other side, the two remaining members of Reunion had given up on fighting. No, perhaps it was after learning Boris's identity that they lost their will to fight and were simply racing against their teammates.

That's right, as long as you jump into the river over there, there's still a chance of survival. You don't need to be faster than Boris, just faster than the other companions!

But as they drew closer to the shimmering water, two burly men with menacing grins suddenly sprang out from the shadows, blocking their escape route. Their gleaming military knives were particularly conspicuous...

“These people are very skilled; they might have been involved in the attack on your village as well.” After confirming there were no survivors, Boris turned around, nodded to Qin Duanyu and the others, and his tone was much gentler than before.

"Sigh, there were far more people attacking the village back then, including those monsters with crystals growing all over their backs," Qin Duanyu sighed, feigning helplessness.

"Please accept my condolences. Killing these people is a partial revenge." Boris nodded, sheathed his long sword, and walked side by side with Qin Duanyu into the village.

Boris recognized the crystalline monsters as Mephisto's herd. He felt a surge of relief; if it had truly been them, Sig Village would have been in even worse shape than Qin Duanyu's village, with likely none of the elderly with mobility issues surviving.

The mud on the attackers was the red soil unique to the other side of the mountain, which indirectly confirmed Qin Duanyu's claim that his village had been attacked, arousing his sympathy.

Moreover, Qin Duanyu and his group not only helped eliminate the fleeing enemies but also treated the wounded. It's neither reasonable nor morally right for them to keep their faces cold.

However, there are some things he still wants to figure out.

"You guys aren't just ordinary villagers, are you?" Boris asked in a low voice, looking at Lin Guang who was still treating the injured.

"Aren't you one too? I never expected the Reunion Movement to have deserters. I thought they were all crazy." Qin Duanyu raised an eyebrow and said irritably.

"You heard everything just now?"

“I’m not deaf, of course I heard what those guys were saying.”

“…I take back what I said before. Your mind isn’t completely empty, tch, you cunning nobleman.” Boris shuddered, but still retorted defiantly.

Bringing along a few veterans with decent combat capabilities is not a problem; many villages have the custom of using retired Ursus soldiers as the village's guards for security.

However, having a certain talent is only a prerequisite for using Originium Arts. Further learning requires a lot of money, which is definitely not something that ordinary families can afford.

There is only one group that is keen on selecting capable and loyal people and investing resources to cultivate them as subordinates... Thus, in Boris's mind, Qin Duanyu has successfully been promoted from the foolish son of a landlord to the foolish son of a minor nobleman.

It doesn't matter anyway, they're all bad stuff!

"By the way, why did you leave the Reunion Movement?" Qin Duanyu asked tentatively.

According to those who died in the Reunion Movement, Boris held a high position and made great contributions in the battle of Chernobog. He should be the kind of person with a firm will, so it's impossible that he would suddenly decide to return to the village.

"..."
