Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

It would be better to follow Rhodes Island and his group, who are like the ones who have been taken advantage of. At least the treatment on our side does not need to trouble Deep Pool.

Cuixiang dared to guarantee that after these people recovered from their injuries, those who could participate in the battle would definitely choose to join Shenchi again.

There was nothing Suika could do about this. After all, this was Victoria's own hatred, and she had to bear the consequences of her own actions.

After the team had marched for more than an hour, Suika, who was leading the team, saw members of the Storm Commandos blocking the way.

After seeing Victoria's soldiers blocking their way ahead, the refugee group became a little restless.

After all, if it weren't for the betrayal of the Victorian military, they wouldn't have had to leave their homeland.

Now that a Victorian army suddenly appeared in front, it was hard not to believe that all this was a purge of the Tara people by the military.

Fortunately, Outcast and Jane controlled the team.

Suika came to the front of the Storm Commandos alone and shouted

"What are you guys trying to do by blocking the road?

Since you can't deal with the rebels, are you planning to take the heads of these old, weak, women and children to make up for it?"

Although she knew that the Stormtroopers led by Horn were not such people, she had to do it.

Because she had to let the people behind her know that she and her group were on their side as protectors.

If Suika acted familiar with these people as soon as they met, she was sure that the trust of those behind her who were originally willing to follow Rhodes Island would drop significantly.

After all, in the simple values of most people, Victoria's military had just betrayed them, and now Suika was so familiar with the other party, it was hard not to feel that Rhodes Island was on the opposite side.

And these people were deceived by her and given to the other party as military merits.

Hearing Suika's words, the leader, Horn, opened his arms and pretended not to resist.

“No… I’m deeply sorry about what happened in Xiaoqiu County.

I didn't expect the garrison to be so cruel.

I swear, when I return to Londinium this time, I will tell the higher-ups everything that happened here.

Whether the people of Tara or anyone else, in my opinion we are all Victorians and we should not turn our swords against each other.

We are not here to hurt you, but to give you a chance to make amends for your mistakes."

Chapter 575 Storm Commando

After the horn finished speaking, Suika shook her head

"Forget it, they won't believe you. To be honest, I don't really believe it either."

Hearing Suika's words, a trace of bitterness appeared on the faces of Horn and the members of the Storm Commando behind her.

Suixiang's words were very blunt, like a knife stabbing straight into their chests, chilling them to the bone.

Don't they know why these refugees won't believe them?

To be honest, even now, they still find it extremely absurd when they think about what happened in Xiaoqiu County.

The city defense forces launched indiscriminate attacks by pointing their howitzers at people in the city, resulting in heavy casualties among the residents.

The key is to use the most vicious dirty bomb.

Once this matter is exposed, Victoria's entire international status and reputation will be greatly weakened.

After all, even Ursus, which is rumored to be the most brutal, will only use any means necessary against their enemies.

But Victoria herself is treating civilians as the enemy.

And the ones who took action were the city defense forces who were supposed to be the protectors.

In this situation, it is normal for the refugees who escaped from Hill County to distrust Victoria's soldiers.

Even the outcast plan was to send these people to another base where the Tara people were located.

At least in Victoria, there would be much less hostility between these Tara people.

“How about this, we won’t get close to you, we’ll just patrol and protect you nearby.

I have observed your team and found that your combat effectiveness is actually insufficient, and most of the team members are old, weak, sick, disabled and young.

With us nearby, your safety can be guaranteed."

Horn said sincerely.

Suika thought about it and decided that her plan was not an option, but she had to ask outcast.

After all, although she knew that the Horn and the Stormtroopers were trustworthy, the Tara people didn't know that, so she was not sure whether this plan would cause resistance.

Of course, Haojiao would not refuse Suixiang's answer, because through observation she had long understood that the actual controller of this team was the old woman Sakota.

It is precisely because of this that she felt at ease leaving these refugees from Tara to the other party for management.

After all, the Sakota people have always had a high reputation on Terra.

Other people you meet in the wilderness may be dangerous, but if they are a Sakota, you can trust them completely. This can be said to be an unwritten rule passed down by word of mouth among those who travel in the wilderness.

It is precisely because of this good reputation that Horn is confident in letting this mysterious team manage these Tara refugees.

"By the way, I have a personal question, can you answer it?" Before going back, Suika looked at the horn.

"Of course, please ask." Horn nodded. She could feel that the girl in front of her had no ill will towards her group. Although her tone was a bit harsh, in fact, compared with those Tara people, her performance was already good enough. So in return, if it was not a confidential matter, she didn't mind telling the other party.

My comrades met a red-haired Vaifan when they were in Xiaoqiu County. She was dressed very similar to you. I would like to ask if you know her and how she is now?

Hearing Suika's question, the Horn group smiled with relief.

Horn looked at Suika and the Outcast group that came behind her.

"Bagpipe said that when she was in the city, she met a group calling themselves Rhodes Island who were rescuing people. I guess that was you. No wonder so many refugees were willing to follow you.

She's doing fine. During the evacuation, I sent her and Triangle to look for support. The situation in Xiaoqiu County is beyond the ability of our small team to handle, so we need to bring in more forces."

"Okay, I'll go back first."

Suika pointed at the outcast group that was almost there and said.

"No problem. By the way, thank you for saving my team members and reminding them."

Horn thought of the person in front of him. Wasn't this the same person that Triangle and the others had told him about when they came to support him? The one who saved them from the city defense army and told them their location, allowing him to get support at the most critical moment?

If Triangle Iron and his team had not suddenly come from the side and dealt a heavy blow to the enemies in the deep pool who were completely unprepared, the team members behind him would probably have suffered heavy losses.

"You're welcome!" Suixiang nodded, then turned and walked towards the outcast.

"What's going on? Who are they?" Outcast walked in, glanced at the Horn group not far away, and asked in a low voice.

"They are from the Storm Commandos. The woman leading them is their captain."

"The Storm Commandos that the red-haired little girl Vaifan mentioned?" Shredder, who had met Bagpipe in the city, looked at Horn and his group in surprise.

As Victorians, they naturally knew the reputation of the Stormtroopers. After seeing Horn and his team, they couldn't help but sigh that the reputation was well deserved.

Although the other side looked extremely embarrassed, one could tell from their formation and the look in their eyes that each of them was an absolute elite.

"Yes, it's them." Suixiang nodded.

"What should we do? They won't let us leave?" Outcast asked in a low voice.

"No, the Captain of the Bugle Corps said they are willing to help us take on the outermost security duties, and in order to avoid resistance from the Tara people, they can even stay away from the main force."

Suika brought the meaning of the horn to outcast.

"Do you think they can be trusted?" Outcast thought for a few seconds and then looked at Suika.

"I think so." Suika nodded.

"Then agree to them." Outcast replied.

"Captain..." Will on the side was a little worried.

He was also from Tara. Although his family was lucky enough not to be injured in the shelling, they were also quite frightened. So compared with other people in the team, he hated the Victorian soldiers more deeply and could better understand the panic of the refugees towards the Victorian soldiers who were blocking the front.

"It doesn't matter. With so many of us, we can't hide from their sight anyway. Instead of escalating the conflict with them, why don't we act as a buffer in the middle?

From Suika's words, one can feel that this storm trooper is different from the garrison in Xiaoqiu County.

You have to know that even with hatred, the final destination for you and the Tara people behind you will still be Victoria's territory.

It is better to use them to help the refugees get used to Victoria again than to settle them down and then have them become unable to accept Victoria's management because of the events in Hill County."

Chapter 576 Qin Liu Enters the Island

After listening to Outcast's explanation, Will nodded in understanding.

Then I saw Outcast walking up to Horn and his group.

After the two chatted for a few words, Haojiao led his men to the side and watched the team from a distance.

After a brief commotion, the refugee group set off again and walked away.

Horn and his group followed at the end of the team to cover the rear.

At night, during the break, Suika helped Outcast distribute food to the refugee team.

Because most of the unstable people and those who wanted to leave had left, outcast allowed Suika to not be so harsh and increased the food supply from 300 people to people.

As for why it is not filled to the maximum, it is because it is not needed.

After all, the team is mostly composed of the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, the young and women.

These people usually eat only two-thirds or even less of the normal men's diet.

The food for five hundred people is enough to fill the stomachs of everyone present.

After the refugees rested, Suika and Outcast came to a small hill where Horn and his group were stationed.

"Welcome, both of you. What can I do for you?"

The horn invited the two to come to the fire.

Outcast looked at the horn

"It's like this, I have arranged for people to seek official support. After all, we can't protect so many people.

When support arrives, I hope you can help connect with the authorities.

After all, as someone from the military... you are much better than us in representing us."

"Of course you can, but if you do that, the outside world will give the credit for successfully rescuing the refugees to us, the Storm Commandos. That's not fair to you, is it?"

Horn's proposal to Outcast is strange.

This was not only an easy task for Horn, but he could also gain considerable reputation from it.

But this was clearly done by Rhodes Island, why didn't they do it themselves?

This made Horn very suspicious.

"We chose to save people not for fame, but because of the beliefs we have always upheld in Rhodes Island.

Whether it is Tara people or others, when they encounter danger, we will choose to rescue them without hesitation.

But... we are not official, and it is impossible and we cannot protect them until they are completely settled.

Officials believe it is not allowed.

But after what happened in Hillshire, it would be difficult for the Tara people to trust Victoria's officials.

Suika told me that you and your people are trustworthy, so I hope to entrust them to your care from now on."

After listening to it, Horn almost understood the meaning of outcast.

As she herself said, it was impossible for Victorian officials to allow Rhodes Island to completely intervene in the resettlement of these refugees.

After all, as an overseas enterprise, having such a high reputation in your own territory is a very serious threat to the local rulers.

But the Storm Troopers are different; after all, the military is behind them.

And standing behind Horn himself was the aristocratic class represented by Count "White Wolf" named Scamander.

So if these refugees were the people she rescued and were her "political achievements", then no matter where they were in the country, the local lords would at most ignore these refugees, but would never make trouble for them. On the contrary, they would treat them better.

Because this means that the local lord will have to face the two major factions, the military and the nobility.

To curry favor or to resist?

As long as people are not stupid, they will not make mistakes in this choice.

After successfully reaching a consensus on this matter, Outcast asked Suika to bring a leg of the beast to the military.
