Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

It's not difficult for a small number of Ursus soldiers to infiltrate the loosely disciplined Reunion Movement, but a large-scale personnel change would certainly raise suspicions among the Patriots if they wanted to ensure the defense of the core control tower.

Moreover, ramming the Dragon Gate is clearly not in the interests of the infected, and it's hard to guarantee that no one in the guards will object. So the next thing is simple: just find a pretext for rewarding or resting, and you can trick these unlucky guys into disarming and going to a certain place, where the ambushing Ursus soldiers will take care of them.

In this way, the number of guards remains the same, but their nature is completely different. It is not hard to imagine the fierce resistance they will encounter when attacking the control tower.

Even more terrifying is that the mastermind behind these Ursus soldiers is very likely the most powerful person in Ursus. If that's the case, then the survivors of Rhodes Island and Reunion will inevitably face retaliation afterward.

Being targeted by a massive empire like Ursus... that's a really big problem.

"Don't worry, it's not as scary as you think. It's just that the people below are causing trouble." Qin Duanyu spread his hands and said calmly, "As long as we don't spread rumors that the Ursus people are involved, as long as the person at the top isn't crazy, he'll definitely get away with it."

"Why are you so sure?" Shield Guard took a deep breath and asked seriously.

“Remember the Ursus diplomatic mission that came to Lungmen before? I have a good relationship with their, cough cough, a certain important figure.” Meeting Amiya and Kal'tsit’s scrutinizing gaze, Qin Duanyu paused somewhat guiltily, “Before she left, she told me an important piece of information: the conflict between Ursus and Sami will most likely end in a victory for Ursus.”

The Sami Kingdom's so-called concession was to transfer some land and mobile cities to Ursus. Although it expanded its territory without bloodshed, assimilating them would still be a long process.

For the Emperor of Ursus, the honor of territorial expansion and the diversion of internal conflicts have already been achieved. If he were to rashly start a war with other countries at this time, it might trigger rebellions in the new territories, which is clearly not in Ursus's interest.

"Then... why did those soldiers..." Amiya asked, puzzled.

"Because if the problem is solved through diplomacy, there's no need to fight, and if there's no war, there's no military merit to be gained," Qin Duanyu said calmly, patting the little rabbit's head. "Those people who sit in their offices giving orders are just hoping to have more badges on their chests and get promoted. Who cares how many ordinary soldiers die?"

Once a conflict is stirred up between Yan and Ursus, the entire nation will be swept up in a frenzy of pride due to the great success achieved against Sami. Whether the emperor likes it or not, he will be swept up by the boiling public opinion.

Any act of requesting peace would be seen as a sign of weakness, which would be a huge blow to imperial power. The emperor, who already lacked control over the local areas, would naturally not take such a big risk and would most likely agree to go along with it.

“I can’t understand…” Amiya shook her head. She didn’t understand the actions of those Ursus generals, nor did she understand why the Ursus emperor would continue to make mistakes even when he knew they were wrong.

“If you understand, then you’re not far from going insane, and this world will never lack war fanatics.” Qin Duanyu shrugged and said helplessly, “Let’s go, let’s stop them, stop this war!”

Chapter 96, Section 381: Dealing with girls? Leave it to me.

The guerrillas quickly relayed the message to Patriot, awaiting his next orders.

"Soldiers, for now, obey the Doctor's orders!" Patriot's intermittent voice came shortly afterward.

Although he wanted to rush over and join the battle immediately, he was no longer able to cope with the high intensity of the fight because he had been ganged up on for half a day by a wicked son-in-law he was unwilling to acknowledge, who led his men.

Moreover, just as Qin Duanyu deduced, a small number of Ursus troops were mixed in, causing considerable losses to the guerrillas maintaining order. In addition, the need to protect ordinary infected people also forced him to slow down his actions.

At this moment, the people wearing Reunion uniforms were no longer very trusting. Who could guarantee that there weren't enemies mixed in with the recruited teams? On the contrary, these outsiders from Rhodes Island, whose goal was also to prevent the impact on the core city, could be considered as partners for the time being.

Moreover, although that doctor was despicable, shameless, and glib, a schemer like Talulah who even tricked his own silly girl away, it must be admitted that he had a tiny bit of merit in battlefield command.

For now, the only option is to temporarily hand over the guerrillas to this guy and see if there's any way to stop Talulah. This is definitely not a collaboration, nor is it an admission of the other side; it's just a last resort due to the circumstances!

Anyway, regardless of Patriot's considerations, after receiving her order, dozens of guerrilla fighters all turned from blue dots to green, and Qin Duanyu's hands trembled with excitement.

Even including the time with Vika, he only commanded a few shield guards back then. Now, the guerrilla team not only has several shield guards, but also many experienced and determined warriors. In addition, he brought a large number of elite operators. This is definitely his most profitable battle ever.

Ursus regular army? Elite troops from a certain army group?

What elite troops? I'm going to fight them... Damn it, why do they even have siege crossbows and breaching spears?! When Qin Duanyu arrived a few hundred meters away from the control tower, feeling smug, the enemy's insane firepower dealt him a heavy blow.

Although it wasn't as fierce as the Patriot's halberd, it couldn't withstand the terrifying rate of fire from the enemy, which was like a urge to urinate. Even the ACEs and Shield Guards couldn't withstand it, let alone the fragile Casters and Snipers, who didn't even dare to show their heads.

"Guerrillas, where are your mortars? Hurry!" Qin Duanyu took a deep breath and turned to Misha and her brother, saying, "Once the enemy's firepower is suppressed, you should immediately launch a full-scale attack, even if you use up all the grenades you brought!"

Fortunately, in order not to arouse suspicion, Talulah could not deploy all of the Ursus troops near the command tower. Her guards numbered only about a hundred men at most, and they were scattered across various key roads in front of the control tower. Therefore, the number of firing points she could set up was extremely limited, and she could barely suppress the enemy.

Feeling the care and concern from their own side, the group, who were finally able to raise their heads, immediately vented their anger and successfully broke through the fortification.

"Hiss, thank you, I can move around now... Rhodes Island's medical technology is really amazing. If we had a doctor like that in our team, many of our brothers wouldn't have to..." The shield guard who had been electrocuted nodded to Shining and said with envy.

The so-called medic should be someone who receives protection from teammates and stays at the rear to treat their own wounded, at most carrying a small revolver for self-defense. But these medics from Rhodes Island have almost overturned his preconceived notions.

Not only this Sarkaz girl with a sword, but also the silver-haired Vayvan carrying a shield, and the green-haired Adaklis girl with a hammer, all possessed superb medical skills and were able to fight alongside the Royal Guards and Heavy Armors on the front lines.

Thinking about them again, it's really not something to envy, except for Mephistopheles, that quack doctor who can turn people into monsters at any time.

"Guerrilla fighters, if you've recovered, hurry over and help stabilize the front!" ACE's shout brought him back to reality.

Although the stronghold was captured, more and more Reunion Movement members gathered in the vicinity. Some were unlucky people who were driven there by the unknown truth, while others were Ursus soldiers who were deliberately disguised, putting great pressure on the front line.

The control tower is right in front of them, yet they are still facing a dilemma.

The Rhodes Island operators who have faced Talulah directly, as well as the guerrilla fighters who have fought alongside her for many years, all know how terrifying Talulah's strength is. Apart from the uninjured Patriot, basically no one can kill her in a one-on-one battle.

Therefore, we can only rely on organized teams.

But the enemy's attacks are relentless, almost suffocating everyone. They can only spare one or two small teams at most. With this number of people, facing Talulah is like grilling a few more or fewer skewers at a barbecue.

"Kal'tsit, Amiya, you and the guerrillas hold this place and don't let anyone in!" Qin Duanyu took a deep breath and walked towards the tightly closed door. "Leave dealing with girls to me."

[Suppression mode is ready and can be activated at any time!]

Although they might release Bo later, leaving behind a lot of trouble, if they don't use it now, they don't know how much they'll have to pay to defeat Talulah.

“Doctor, there should be limits to joking... You are simply..." Saria frowned, thinking that Qin Duanyu's actions were no different from suicide, but Shining put her arm around her shoulder and shook her head.

“The Doctor’s power… if he really wanted to kill someone…” Shining hesitated, but considering that the person in front of her had a similar way of thinking to Nearl, and fearing that she wouldn’t understand such a vague statement, she pointed to Kal’tsit, “Look, even Dr. Kal’tsit didn’t stop him, so he must be confident.”

Upon hearing this, Saria looked over and saw that although Kal'tsit's expression was unpleasant, she really did not stop Qin Duanyu. However, there was an indescribable strangeness in her eyes, just like, well, just like when Himer watched Eve release her Originium Arts.

The emotions were incredibly complex: a mixture of awe at some powerful force and concern for the caster's health.

"No, Doctor, I'll go with you. I can definitely help you now, and I won't let you fight alone again..." Watching Qin Duanyu's departing figure, Amiya seemed to remember something and struggled to catch up with him.

At that time, she was only up to the doctor's belly. Her favorite thing to do was pester him for candy and stories. Although he always complained about having meetings and a lot of things to do, he would always patiently play with her.

But later, the time the doctor spent with her gradually decreased, slowly turning into "next time for sure," and finally even that was abandoned. He would just shake his head indifferently and leave, and the aura emanating from him became increasingly frightening.

It seems that it all started after one time when the Doctor and a solemn-looking Dr. Kal'tsit walked out of the meeting room, and he casually said, "Leave this kind of thing to me."

"What are children doing in adults' affairs?" Qin Duanyu said without turning her head, as if she were going on a picnic.

Chapter 97, Section 382: Her goal is a doctor!

Tick.

The core control tower was eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of dripping water. Qin Duanyu walked slowly and quietly up the spiral staircase, where she could see marks left by sharp weapons and corpses lying on the ground.

The sound of water was the blood flowing from their wounds.

Talulah would never leave the control tower empty. These dead people must be the last guards, and it goes without saying that the ones who took action to eliminate them were the Dragon Police who had infiltrated the core city first.

But Qin Duanyu felt that something was not right.

Judging from the equipment, the fallen guards were all genuine Reunion Movement members, not Ursus soldiers in disguise. Logically, since Talulah had already turned against her own people, she would not have overlooked such an important place as the Control Tower, and should have deployed a stronger fighting force there as well.

Reality isn't an RPG game, after all. If you had so many trump cards at your disposal, it would be best to crush the hero in one fell swoop. But the current situation is like Talulah putting up a token resistance, intentionally letting Chen pass.

Is this... out of consideration for sisterly affection? Qin Duanyu shook her head, throwing the melodramatic thought to the back of her mind. If she really still harbored such thoughts, Talulah would never have become like this.

The closer they got to the top floor, the clearer the sounds of fighting became.

"Knowing you're no match for them, you still willingly offer yourself up. You're still as foolish as ever. Without the protection of others, you're nothing but a pawn to be played with!"

"Shut up, I just want to see what kind of person you've become."

"Now you see, what's next? Are you going to cry and beg me to turn back to the way I was before?"

"Then when I release you, you won't have any psychological burden. Let's save the rest for the funeral!"

The two stood on opposite sides of the hall, surrounded by raging flames. Talulah's leisurely mockery and Chen's furious roar became the only accompaniment to the sword fight between the sisters.

Before Talulah's fiery fingertips could even touch Chen, they were swallowed whole by Chixiao.

The fully unsheathed Crimson Sky no longer resisted its master as it had in the past, but instead let out joyful cries that craved blood. It could sense that it had been forged for this purpose.

Slay the dragon.

Whether it's the dragons of Yan Kingdom or Draco.

Before Chen could retaliate after neutralizing Talulah's attack, the battle was interrupted by an uninvited guest who suddenly pushed open the door.

"tutor!"

"PhD?"

Two pairs of eyes focused on Qin Duanyu, but compared to Chen's surprise and anxiety, Talulah's eyes showed no surprise, as if she had expected him to come.

"What are you doing here? It's dangerous, get out of here..." Chen stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly recalling the horrifying scene of him tearing his enemies apart with his bare hands.

Hopefully, the doctor won't go too far; Little Tower... can at least have a complete corpse.

"After playing for so long, you've finally arrived." Talulah suddenly broke into a bright smile, opening her arms as if to welcome something. "The actors are all in place, and this stage play, which has been set up for so long, has finally reached its most exciting part."

The floor suddenly lit up with complex patterns. Chen thought it was some kind of trap, so she immediately flashed to Qin Duanyu's side and assumed a defensive stance. However, the thing only looked scary and had no effect on her at all.

Just as he was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, Qin Duanyu next to him clutched her head and let out a painful groan.

"PhD?"

……

The situation outside the control tower is equally worrying.

"Push them back! The line is about to fall! Damn it, these Ursus bastards are no longer hiding their presence. They want to kill us all here!" The shield guard struggled to hold off the attack, swearing out all the curses he had been holding back.

Realizing that the defenses around the control tower had been breached, and in order to ensure the impact could occur smoothly, the hidden Ursus soldiers disregarded the risk of exposure and launched a fierce attack on the fortifications.

"Wait, they... they've started to panic!" The sudden relief of the pressure made them notice the strange phenomena within the enemy ranks.

A group of Sarkaz mercenaries attacked from the rear, targeting anyone who was not of their race. Even the Ursus soldiers hidden within the Reunion Movement had not expected them to be so ruthless.

Indeed, at this moment, the Reunion Movement is filled with suspicion and a mix of friend and foe. No one knows who to trust or what to do. They just follow the crowd and attack haphazardly. But apart from the disciplined and familiar guerrillas and Rhodes Island with its completely different uniforms, the Sarkaz are also a very distinctive group.

In the past, these Sarkaz were known as demons and were feared and isolated by others. Only Patriot had a few Sarkaz under his command who agreed with his ideals because of his special status. It is almost certain that they were not infiltrated by Ursus soldiers.

And the person in charge was none other than W.

"Halt! State your purpose!" Seeing that the enemy had been dealt with, the Sarkaz showed no sign of leaving and instead moved closer. Scout gripped his gun tightly and shouted.

Although they had worked together for quite some time, his experience of being seriously injured in two separate explosions and hospitalized made him unsure of what this crazy woman might do next.

"Junior, get this straight, I brought some people to help you!" W spread his hands to indicate he meant no harm. "Besides, dealing with you would be incredibly easy for me. Where's the Doctor? I need to see him, so get out of my way!"

“Don’t worry, W is…our mole, and her mercenaries are also part of our reinforcements.” Kal’tsit nodded to the group, allowing the Sarkaz to enter the fortifications.
