Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

"So... what about you?" Jenny asked. "You exploited your compatriots to gain status, and then you oppressed them in return... Who will judge you?"

"Stop showing off your righteousness. Who are you trying to show it to? Quick, get her out of here! And these infected people mixed in with the Victoria deserters, round them up, they all need to be cleaned out!" Ronan still wanted to break free and wanted to incite the crowd like before. He always felt that it was stupid that those idiots could be incited so easily.

But this time, no one listened to him, they just stared at him - as if looking at a funny clown.

"You carry that lousy flag everywhere you go. You're not a capable soldier at all, are you?" Ronan forced a powerful expression and sneered, even though he wasn't sure. "Is there something wrong with your brain? What do they have to do with you? Are you so willing to let them use you? Are you really that stupid?"

“Yes, I don’t speak Tara.”

"I haven't been able to truly experience the life you usually lead."

"I don't have mineral sickness now."

"But... for over two years, I've walked the same streets you walk on every day."

"I have heard your tears and seen your laughter."

"I always know in my heart that we are all the same, living people."

"Everyone makes mistakes. Those who make mistakes should be stopped, punished, and tortured by their own hearts—"

"But the person who decides their fate shouldn't be an ungrateful villain—"

Jenny raised her head, and a beam of sunlight just illuminated her face——

"I won't be afraid to stand up anymore!"

"Jenny!" At this moment, Saoirse, who had run out of the Rhodes Island office out of concern for Jenny's safety, came to her side breathlessly, "You're not wrong! You're not wrong at all! You don't need to carry so much!"

"...Saoirse?!" Ronan was so frightened that his legs went limp. "Impossible, you should have been... "

"Saoirse! It's really you! Jenny actually saved you!"

"Saoirse... I thought... I'm sorry, I thought..."

The appearance of Saoirse completely broke down Ronan's psychological defenses, and at the same time, made his words completely weightless.

"Jane...Sister..." Craig, his face covered in blood, stood beside Jenny. He didn't know how to apologize, but Jenny didn't care anymore. "I...I..."

"...Stop talking about it. It's your injury..." Jenny shook her head, not blaming him. "I'll bandage it for you later. I'll protect you."

"Ah."

Craig nodded vigorously. Now was the time for judgment.

"...What are you doing! You bunch of...untouchables! Soldiers! Go! Get rid of these guys!"

“Hey…you guys…”

Only then did Ronan realize that the soldiers behind him had stopped moving at some point.

At this moment, a Kuranta dressed in ancient armor appeared behind her.

"...Vaifan, an excellent warrior, an outstanding leader—" Tora stared at Jenny in front of him and made an evaluation, "Not bad, and you..."

He turned to Ronan, "All this is under the watchful eye of the princess, who will pronounce judgment on you on behalf of this Vaifan."

The soldiers he brought were silently swallowed up by the dark shadows, and Tora also raised the long sword in his hand.

"The sentence is—death."

The long sword swung, but not much blood was splashed. Tora's blade cut his back and severed his spine. He instantly lost all support. After Jenny let go, he fell like mud.

——The princess also specifically instructed not to scare the children.

Therefore, Tora could only use the least bloody method——

The ghost guard dragged Ronan away, and Tora stood in front of Jenny. "The princess asked me to protect you. Now your safety is under my supervision."

"Princess?"

"...She has always been paying attention to you." Tora did not explain much, but turned and came to a ruined wall, sat down, with a long sword across his knees, sitting there quietly, like a stone statue.

"...Sister Noah..." Jenny finally understood the origin of Tora, "So that's how it is..."

While excited, Jenny also knew that she shouldn't continue to be moved there. She squatted down. Gauze was scarce now, so she tore a section of the flag that she once treasured and used it to bandage his wound.

The tattered flag now fluttered in the wind—even more glorious than before.

Perhaps it is now that the young Vaifan has truly grown up.

Tora saw it all. Since following the princess, he felt more and more that this land was not so boring after all.

There are always some interesting people, and there are always some people who are hard to ignore. The power of force can only make people surrender physically, but the strength of heart can attract people from the bottom of their hearts.

The Princess is like this, Margaret is like this, Jenny is like this—

Is this what the princess wants to tell herself?

Tora wasn't quite sure, but he felt that it wasn't bad at all.

-

Bagpipe was running, she was running towards the only building that could send a message, and on the way she saved some people from the Deep Pool soldiers. These Deep Pool soldiers said they wanted to protect the rights of the Tara people, but they turned out to be a group of unrestrained thugs.

The dissatisfied Bagpipe kept moving forward, she had to occupy that place as soon as possible.

The city-breaking spear in her hand is her only support now.

Most of the Deep Pool soldiers were no match for her. After all, she was the elite among the elite, and she was also an unreasonable Vaifan.

Even in the team, except for Captain Bugle, no one could match her when she was hungry.

She and her city-breaking spear! From Victoria!

Things like numerical advantage, unless the quantitative change reaches the level of qualitative change, will only be a little more troublesome than before!

The enemy's heavy armor was like brittle paper in front of the siege-breaking spear equipped with siege-breaking shells. As long as the speed was fast enough, Fengpipe was sure to penetrate everything - but when she was rushing around, she found that a group of ghost soldiers used jet packs to fly into the sky. Now she was helpless. She couldn't fly, so she really had no way to deal with targets in the sky - at this time she began to miss the triangle. If the triangle was there, she would be just a target at this distance.

However, before she could figure out how to shoot the man down with her not-so-proficient launcher, a stone flew out of the window of a room at an extremely fast speed, and directly penetrated the air cylinder of the Deep Pool soldier wearing a jet pack in the sky. As a result, due to the air leakage, the soldier fell down like a kite with a broken string. Although he should not die from the fall, he was probably in serious condition.

Bagpipe also set his sights on the room, and Outcast at the window waved to him with a smile.

"Thanks for your help!" They had met Outcast at the Rhodes Island base. Fengpipe didn't expect to meet him here, and the other party was really powerful - he could defeat the opponent with just a stone.

"You're welcome. In fact, you helped me clean up these troublesome guys."

"I heard that Sakota are very good with firearms, but I didn't expect them to be so good at throwing rocks." Fengpi was still very curious. "Do they have any special skills?"

"Nothing, I just pick it up and use it occasionally. After all, my gun is too loud--" Outcast gestured to the wounded man who had fallen asleep on his back.

"That's right, the sound of the gun is very conspicuous—" Bagpipe nodded, "Is your friend injured? He seems very weak."

"She was hit almost head-on by a dirty bomb this afternoon—"

"what……"

Bagpipe's mood suddenly darkened. "Sorry... We were so close to stopping the dirty bomb, it was our fault... I'll report everything to Londinium and make them pay."

But she also knew that just saying this was useless, so she continued, "Alas, it's too late to say this now. I just want to save as many people as possible."

But she soon realized something, blinked, and guessed, "Are those enemies looking for you?"

"I think so." Outcast nodded. "You probably have your own things to do. Go take care of your own things first. I'll take care of everything."

"I saw them chasing civilians all the way. Although I was in a hurry to get on with my journey, I still couldn't just sit there and do nothing." Bagpipe scratched his head. "I do have some things to do, but I'll still escort you to the gathering place."

"No need. Trust our commander." Outcast nodded his earpiece. "The kid seems to have recovered. I'll be fine."

"Ah, has Sister Noah recovered? That's great. When she said she needed to rest for a while, I thought she was just forcing herself..." Fengpi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's great that she's okay."

"--I want to say thank you, but your position has been exposed. You should move quickly..." Noah complained awkwardly. "Ms. Bagpipe, I'll guide the Outcast team. You can act separately... Also, Miss Bagpipe, your teammates have entered the city. If possible, can I connect to their communication channel? Miss Horn has also entered the city to help. You should be able to reunite at the communication tower."

"...Are the Captain and Triangle here?!" Bagpipe nodded quickly, "Of course, ah... Actually, you should ask the Captain, but I think the Captain will definitely say the same thing!"

"Okay, now that I've got permission, I'll contact the Triangle Team. Good luck—" Noah smiled and cut off the call. With the help of the Eye of God, she replanned the routes of each team, trying to save as many people as possible in the city while avoiding the six dangerous elements. However, Noya felt inexplicably uneasy. Logically, nothing should happen here, after all, she was keeping an eye on it the whole time, but...

The biggest threat from these six is ​​that they act together. One of them alone is nothing to an elite like Outcast, but six...

And the fact that Draco, the one who used the purple flame, had never shown up also made her a little worried.

I hope I'm just overthinking it...

Chapter 22: The Real Execution

From a local perspective, with the help of Noah, people were rescuing the affected people in an orderly manner and avoided most of the dangers, but from a big picture perspective - with the gradual influx of the Deep Pool troops, there was almost no hope of retaking Xiaoqiu County.

Hamilton's bombardment did not cause many casualties to the enemy troops. In fact, these Shenchi troops had been hiding in the distance, quietly watching Xiaoqiu County, and only chose to enter the city when the artillery sounded. This resulted in the defenders having no way to resist this army that was like undead and could not be killed. It can be said that there was now an extremely huge disparity in military strength.

With Tora here, there is no need to worry about the temporary hospital. After all, there are only wounded people and civilians there, and they pose no threat to Shenchi.

As for Ronan who was dealt with, even inside the Deep Pool, he was just an insignificant existence, and no one would avenge him.

Thanks to the search and rescue efforts of volunteers and operators, most of the surviving people affected by the disaster in Xiaoqiu County were basically rescued. Although there were still many people who died in the artillery bombardment, Noah could only say sorry.

When war breaks out, the first to suffer are always the people—

When Colonel Hamilton described these people, he said that they were accomplices of Deep Pool, but in fact - he didn't even know that his subordinate Hill was the cadre orator of Deep Pool. It can be said that he was completely deceived. Moreover, after the bombardment of the people, public opinion would turn to Deep Pool.

In any case, Shenchi has already won.

Although Noah was sitting inside the military camp, she had already fully understood Shen Chi's plan. However, even though she understood the plan, she was powerless to change the situation.

Shen Chi has eight senior cadres in the city, six of whom are working together. These six people may not be a problem individually - but when six people act together, no one in the entire city is sure that they can face them alone.

【Robber】【Orator】【Prisoner】【Arsonist】【Poison Scholar】【Accountant】

These people are all notorious international wanted criminals. Noah has also heard about their deeds in other towns. He did not expect that they would actually join Deep Pool. This made the situation of Noah's side, which was already quite passive, even worse.

After pulling the last survivor out of the rubble, Noah's first mission was considered completed, which was to save as many refugees in Xiaoqiu County as possible.

As for what happened afterwards... Noah could do nothing to help those people who became infected because of this bombardment.

Originium blockers are not omnipotent. In this case, even if you survive, there is a high chance that you will become infected. Noah can already foresee what the outcome of Xiaoqiu County will be.

To be honest, Noya even considered using the injured Draco as a bargaining chip to trade with the six. But in fact, she also knew that these six notorious guys would never let go of the Rhodes Island group who knew the truth. And even if they really let them go, what would happen to the bagpipes and horns? What about the triangle team? Noya couldn't give up on them -

So... she decided to do something, even though it went against her beliefs and was even a little hard to accept.

But she believes that this is something that must be done. For the happiness of more people——

"Um... uh..." When Bagpipe and Outcast were dealing with the rubble on the street, Ravshini, who was lying on the side, suddenly began to twitch. It was a very terrible experience, as if something from the outside was invading the inside. Although the other party seemed to be considering her feelings and did not act violently, when these emotions merged into her body and gradually explored the inside of her body, the indescribable sense of terror still made her struggle hard.

It was a seed that had grown deep within Ravshini—a seed that had been planted long ago.

At this moment, the seed was taking root and sprouting branches—using the most gentle means possible to suppress Ravshine's consciousness and gradually gain control of this body. It was unknown how long it took, but when the young Draco opened his eyes again, her expression had become indifferent. She stood up and examined her injuries. Although Outcast had treated them well, the wounds were so large that they still looked terrible.

But it didn't matter. A flame ignited between Ravshini's palms—a flame imbued with vitality and life. She reached out and touched the wound with the flame. As the wound burned, as if something had been stimulated, the hideous wound healed in a very short time, shrinking and finally recovering perfectly, without even leaving a scar. However, the pain still made Ravshini break out in a cold sweat.

"...Fortunately, Draco's Originium technique is the type that can heal itself..." 'Lafsini' struggled to stand up. Although she had controlled Maria's body before, Noah was actually very resistant to the idea of ​​controlling other people's bodies. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, she would never do such a thing against other people's wishes. She suppressed Lafsini's consciousness, and then used the seeds she planted to attach herself - similar to the invasion of the soul.

She didn't know how long she could control this body. This was also the first time she took the initiative to seize another body.

Although it was a matter of borrowing and returning, she tentatively released the flame. This kind of flame full of vitality was the most she had ever seen in her life, but this flame had also shown its explosive side before.

If she wished, this flame could heal others or burn them directly. Draco's magical talent had always been one of the best on Terra, and of course, his physical talent was not weak either.

Although she still had some symptoms of anemia, Noah felt that she was able to move - but she was not used to having a huge tail behind her.

This kind of long-range invasion was not an easy task for Noah. Fortunately, Ravshini was unconscious, so she had the opportunity. She had seen the six-member group coming in this direction, so she quietly left the place while Outcast and Bagpipe were still clearing the rubble. This time, she picked up a piece of rag on the ground and wrapped it around herself to cover her previous wounds.

Then she had to imitate the expressions and demeanor perfectly, to show the savior-like temperament of the original [Leader].

She wandered among the ruins as if she were strolling in her own kingdom.

The six people rushed over as soon as they heard the news. In front of them, the [Leader] was sitting on the base of a sculpture. The sculpture had been destroyed. The [Leader] was sitting with his knees hugged and swept his eyes over the six people with a cold look, which seemed to carry a bit of impatience and confusion.

"Isn't she almost dead? Is there something wrong with the intelligence?" The [Bandit] scratched his head, puzzled. Although he had strong limbs and a simple mind, this time, not only him, but even the [Orator] next to him was quite surprised.

"...Leader?" the Orator said. "I'm so glad you're alright. When we heard you were injured, we came looking for you right away. It seems the soldiers were just mistaken."

"That's right, you're a Draco. Bombardment is meaningless to you." The accountant beside him nodded. "Leader, come back with us. Your sister is waiting for you."

"..." 'Lafshini' looked at the group of people indifferently. She couldn't access Lafshini's memories, so she didn't know how to react. However, she had definitely attracted the attention of the group of people, at least making them not pay attention to Bagpipe and Outcast.

As for Ravshini... Noah could only say sorry, but at least he helped treat her injuries, so maybe she wouldn't have a bad outcome.

"He's right," Noya said, and she slowly walked down from the base of the sculpture. "I am indeed injured, but this injury is not enough to make me fall."

"Yes, leader, your sister would be proud of you." The Orator placed a hand on his chest and bowed his head. "Let us go and embrace our great victory."

—Hill Adolf.

Although disguised, Noah would not mistake this guy. This guy disguised himself as Colonel Hamilton's adjutant and caused the bombardment. He was the culprit of the current situation. Noah calmed down, suppressed his inner anger, and slowly came to his side. Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and strangled the neck of the Orator with the strength of Draco. Naturally, the Orator did not expect that the leader who had always been very similar would suddenly attack him. He had no time to react and was controlled.

"...Leader! What are you doing!" The faces of the accountant and the arsonist on the side suddenly changed. The orator could be said to be the most core figure in their group of six, but now he was tightly controlled by Rafshini. No one knew what Draco wanted to do.
