Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

The person who controls Longmen, while a Da Yan enclave, is clearly a special entity. Rather, Longmen's autonomy has reached a level that's somewhat unusual. Wei Yanwu truly obeys orders, his status unique among Da Yan's many mobile cities. While ordinary people naturally couldn't achieve such "freedom," Wei Yanwu achieved it—and held it firmly.

Anyway, no matter what, Wei Yanwu is definitely not an incompetent person——

"Nice to meet you." Noah nodded and sat down opposite Wei Yanwu, ignoring the pressure he exuded. Although the pressure was great, it was still wishful thinking to want to suppress her.

Although she didn't know what her own fighting ability was, she knew that even with Skadi in front of her, the two of them could still fight evenly evenly if both used 80% of their strength. Of course, no one knew who would win without fighting desperately.

No matter how high Wei Yanwu's status is, he hasn't really fought for a long time - the so-called martial arts is to go against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, so Wei Yanwu is definitely not in his prime. If they really fight, Noah is even 60% sure that he can win.

——This is still a conservative calculation. If Originium authority is used, even if Skadi arrives, it is estimated that it will be difficult to suppress her in a full-scale attack in a head-on battle.

Confidence comes from strength, Noah has always recognized this. Only when he has enough strength can Noah cover for Amiya and let Amiya feel at ease to do what she wants.

In Terra, kindness also requires strength as capital.

And Noah is Amiya's capital.

But Amiya is still too young, and it is too early for her to face Wei Yanwu head-on, so she appears here.

"I heard about your establishment of a medical camp. On behalf of the citizens of Longmen, I thank you for your help. Without you, many more people would have suffered. As the leader of Longmen, I must express my gratitude."

"You're too kind, Lord Wei. We've only done what we can. If that were all, I wouldn't have come to you. Now that the situation has escalated, we no longer have the means to protect the injured. Therefore, we can only seek help, from you."

Noah responded. She noticed that Wei Yanwu's expression rarely changed when he heard about the escalation of the situation. His sitting posture also changed from nonchalant to more oppressive. Obviously, Ursus's actions did not escape his eyes. As an old politician, he knew very well what Ursus wanted and what the current situation was like. However, if it was just this kind of thing, he naturally would not come to Noah to discuss it.

What he valued was obviously not Noah's kindness or the safety of the injured. His real purpose was probably because of Noah's identity.

"Noah Kyrielight, chairman and founder of Uni Company in Casimir, a champion of knight competitions, often away from home, known as the 'Model Knight', disappeared for five years during an archaeological mission, then reappeared in Longmen. I'm sorry, I've researched your past, Noah Kyrielight. You're a very special person, capable, courageous, and even more intelligent. You're a rare young talent on Terra. Many even believe you'll become the new leader of Casimir in the future. Yet, you've appeared in Longmen, and you show no intention of returning to Casimir..."

Wei Yanwu paused, as if waiting for Noah's reaction, but he must have been disappointed. Noah's expression did not change at all. It was rather that being investigated was something she had expected, and there was nothing to react to. As for why she did not return to Casimir, it was because she already had other goals. In a sense, she was already prepared after returning from the internalized universe.

However, even if she tried to explain what she had encountered to Wei Yanwu seriously, he probably wouldn't believe it. She had met the Creator who created the Originium, and could even be said to have indirectly created the Terran civilization. Moreover, this Creator had appointed Amiya as their messenger and given Amiya the authority over the Originium. In the future, Terra would encounter an almost invincible enemy. All of this was too magical, and even if she told it to others, it would most likely be regarded as a story.

Amiya is now like the savior in many religious myths, the Messiah, and the messenger of God walking on earth. Although she herself probably does not have this concept, in the doctor's plan, Amiya is the most important link.

Noah was the person responsible for protecting Amiya before she fully grew up. Whether she was a thug or a disciple, she was very clear about her position.

"Lord Wei, let's be frank. I can guarantee that Casimir has absolutely no intention of interfering in Longmen's affairs. I don't represent Casimir, I only represent myself. If I have any position, I am just Amiya's partner." Noah said. She knew what Wei Yanwu was worried about. If it was just an Ursus, it would be troublesome, but Wei Yanwu was able to control Longmen until now, and he was definitely not a pushover. But if Casimir joined the game - then the situation would be chaotic.

So Noah took the initiative to dispel Wei Yanwu's doubts and explained his position to prevent this person from having wild thoughts and causing trouble for them.

"That would be great. As far as I know, you have disappeared from the world for five years... Can I know what happened in these five years?" Wei Yanwu narrowed his eyes, probably wanting to dig out more information from Noah, but this question was impossible for Noah to answer.

"This has nothing to do with the topic we are discussing, right? Lord Wei, you came to me for other purposes besides confirming my position." After all, it was Wei Yanwu who took the initiative to come to him this time. Although Noah originally planned to meet with Wei Yanwu, active and passive are completely different situations. Being approached by Wei Yanwu on his own initiative meant that Wei Yanwu definitely had some plans for Noah, whether to use him or to recruit him. If it was just to confirm his position, there was no need for Commander Chen to come to him at this time. He had been in Longmen for a long time.

If Wei Yanwu wants to find me, does it take that long?

So, something must have changed, and the recent information flashed through Noah's mind one after another, and finally she had an immature idea.

——Could it be that Wei Yanwu wants to entrust his son to someone else?

This was no joke. She was well aware of Longmen's situation. It was indeed in dire straits, but the main reason wasn't because of Ursus...

The relationship between Wei Yanwu and Dayan is complicated. It is a good thing for Longmen that Dayan sends troops to Longmen, but it may not be a good thing for Wei Yanwu himself. Noah has no interest in politics itself, but if Wei Yanwu just wants to leave an insurance for himself, it is not difficult to understand... And to be honest, Commander Chen is indeed a bit strange. She graduated from Victoria Guards School, but Chen Huijie is from Dayan... Does she really need to study abroad in Victoria?

There are many schools to choose from in Dayan, and they are all the top in Terra, but Chen Huijie did not choose any of them - this seems to explain the situation.

So... what should I do...

-

"Ms. Kal'tsit, you haven't slept all night. You should take a rest first." Amiya came to Kal'tsit, who was responsible for keeping watch, with water. In fact, no one asked her to keep watch. She did it on her own initiative and did not close her eyes the whole night. Amiya came here because she was worried about Kal'tsit's health.

"It's okay." Kel'tsit shook her head. "I will be responsible for protecting you until Noa Kyrielight returns. This is the agreement she reached with me before she left."

"Even so, it's okay to drink some water and eat something, right?" Amiya pushed the water and food toward Kal'tsit. "The agreement doesn't say you can't eat, right?"

"..." Kal'tsit had no reason to refute. In fact, she was just not good at accepting other people's kindness. Walking on this land, the stories she saw always ended in tragedy. Many times, she was unable to frankly accept other people's kindness. It was a bit strange to say, but when she first met Amiya, she always had a sense of familiarity. This familiarity was inexplicable, as if their meeting was destined.

However, this emotion only caused a slight ripple in her heart. Her attitude towards Amiya did not change because of this. She was also used to hiding her emotions. It was better to say that no matter how many emotions she had, they would be worn away in such a long time.

However, she really had no reason to refuse Amiya's kindness. She took the cup of water and the unpacked food. The water was hot. Amiya probably wanted to use the hot water to warm Kal'tsit's body. Although it was just a small detail, Kal'tsit also noticed it. She blew the hot steam on the cup of water, and after making sure that she would not burn herself, she slowly drank it. The stiffness brought by the cold night was slightly relieved. At this time, it was already dawn, and the sun rose as usual in the ruins.

Amiya did not leave, but sat next to Kal'tsit, seeming to watch the sunrise. Kal'tsit remembered that the girl was busy taking care of the wounded last night, so she probably didn't sleep for long.

"Aren't you going to rest?" Kel'tsit asked coldly, but her cold tone couldn't hide her concern. "You didn't sleep for more than three hours last night, did you?"

"I'm fine." Amiya shook her head. "But Kal'tsit, you haven't slept for an hour."

"...I'm fine with it." Kel'tsit blinked, resorting to the same excuse as Amiya. For a moment, there was no further conversation between the two. It wasn't that Kel'tsit meant to do that, but she simply didn't have anything to talk about. Or rather, finding topics wasn't something she was good at. And Amiya? Amiya had never been a particularly talkative person; most of the time, she preferred to just listen.

She is a very good listener. Her kindness and warmth always make people talk more unconsciously and vent all their emotions and worries. At this time, Amiya will look at you with a smile.

Some people's eyes speak volumes; just by looking into hers, you can tell she's not only listening, but also embracing the other person's emotions. This is a natural gift, a powerful ability to empathize that allows Amiya to feel the pain and love the other person's love. Their emotions are perfectly synchronized, naturally resonating. This talent is something most people can't learn, much like the resonance between two tuning forks of the same frequency.

Amiya can comfort and empathize with others in her own way.

This is the origin of Amiya's affinity, but most importantly, Amiya is a gentle person.

Only gentle people can make good use of this innate power——

The sun rose on Terra, and warmth finally returned to the ruins. However, as the sun rose, the sound of footsteps reached Kal'tsit's ears - it seemed like someone was crushing the rubble. Kal'tsit was very familiar with this sound.

——Most soldiers use harder soles, so the sound of their footsteps is different from that of other people.

Kal'tsit's expression froze and she stood up. She originally wanted to release Mon3tr directly, but she found that Amiya's reaction was faster than her. She stood up first and picked up the staff from her side. Kal'tsit looked at the alert Amiya in surprise, and then whispered.

"Someone is coming. You stay here, I'll guard this place—"

"Kal'tsit..."

"Ok?"

"Be careful."

"Ah."

Kal'tsit blinked. For some reason, she didn't want to call out Mon3tr in front of Amiya. Maybe she didn't want her to see her spine bursting out of her body.

Just as she hesitated, a crossbow bolt pierced the air. Mon3tr automatically protected its master. Even though Kal'tsit hadn't actively switched, it burst out of her body through her spine, rapidly expanding in the air. Then, it used its crystallized body to directly block the crossbow bolt, protecting Kal'tsit and Amiya.

"Roar!"

The giant beast roared, but what followed were more crossbows and Originium skills.

"It's Ursus's army. You go first, Amiya."

written request for leave

As usual, number one takes a rest.

This should be the last volume of this book. In fact, the line of the Demon Rabbit was added temporarily.

Then the new main plot stabbed me in the back.

Hey, who knew that Originium would be like this?

Fortunately, I have reached the last volume and will try my best to end it well.

If you have any comments, you can tell me and I will finish writing the story about Noah.

that's it!

Chapter 24: A sudden downturn

For Kal'tsit, it was no longer a difficult task to shuttle between Originium skills and arrows. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. She was over 10,000 years old and was accustomed to being attacked by these Terrans. The enemy's firepower was actually not much. This army looked like they had accidentally discovered the camp rather than coming here on purpose. But after all, it was a regular army, and Kal'tsit did not seem to be at ease.

She was quite confident about her own strength. At the beginning, she and the Ursus internal guards fought to a draw. Although neither side had a fatal attack, it was already a very obvious situation.

The threat of a fully equipped Ursus team cannot be compared with that of the inner guards, and Kal'tsit is not good at one-on-many combat. Although Mon3tr's shell can resist these Originium skills and arrows, Kal'tsit herself does not have such high defense, and she also has to take care of the task of blocking firepower... Kal'tsit is also restricted in her fighting.

Fighting one against a hundred is not as easy as it seems. The enemy is not a group unit with shared health. A complete Ursus team has more than two warlocks, crossbowmen, shield guards, and the most basic melee soldiers. These people are no match for Kal'tsit individually, but when they are combined, it becomes extremely troublesome.

Mon3tr's sharp claws left deep marks on the shield guards. The huge Originium monster moved freely in the enemy's formation. The melee soldiers did not dare to enter Mon3tr's attack range at will. The only shield guard who could withstand Mon3tr's attack almost had his shield torn apart at the first sight. The terrifying power of the monster could penetrate the shield like penetrating cardboard. Fortunately, there was more than one shield guard. After the first shield guard made contact, the next shield guard seized the opportunity, stepped forward and used his shield to block Mon3tr's claws. Although the shield made a teeth-grinding distorted sound, it at least did block the opponent's attack.

Then came the continuous attacks of the warlock and the crossbow. Mon3tr let out a sharp roar. Although its shell was strong, it could not withstand such continuous attacks. So, the next moment, red cracks appeared on Mon3tr's shell. This was not because it was shattered by the attack, but because the terrifying high temperature from the inside out activated its shell. With the sudden increase in strength, Mon3tr tore the metal shield that was trapping him into pieces in just a moment.

"Meltdown." Kal'tsit stood there and spat out two words coldly, "Destroy them, Mon3tr."

Generally speaking, Kal'tsit disliked killing people, but these soldiers were definitely not innocent. After discovering the camp, they had ample time to observe its nature. It was obvious that there were no soldiers here, let alone the Dragon Gate sign. A quick observation would have shown that there was no threat. Yet, these soldiers still chose to attack here, indicating that they intended to use the casualties of this camp to build their own military honors.

This behavior was obviously not enough for Kal'tsit to treat these soldiers by human standards.

Death is their best atonement.

In Mon3tr's molten form, both its speed and strength are no longer at the previous level. The terrifying energy is almost unbearable for it itself, so such obvious red cracks appear. As Mon3tr roared, these soldiers finally realized what kind of tough guy they had offended. Naturally, since they could not defeat Mon3tr, their target began to shift, trying to kill the controller Kal'tsit first.

However, this was also within Kal'tsit's expectations. She dodged the opponent's arrows and Originium skills with ease. This was the result of overwhelming combat experience. Ten thousand years of combat experience made these soldiers like rookies, and they were unable to hit Kal'tsit who seemed to have no protection at all.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this!" The first to collapse were the shield guards who had lost their shields. Their shields were like paper in front of Mon3tr and could not provide any effective defense. With all the shield guards' shields torn to pieces, Mon3tr was no longer blocked. When one of the shield guards turned around and fled under the catalysis of fear, Mon3tr's claws pierced his chest directly. The claws of the black Originium monster with red cracks lifted up the shield guard whose chest was pierced high and let out a sharp roar.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the team has been broken, and what follows is a simple battlefield cleanup.

Kal'tsit watched the team flee in all directions. She had no interest in chasing the deserters. Mon3tr threw the body on the ground and immediately returned to Kal'tsit. The red cracks gradually dissipated. After each use of Meltdown, Mon3tr had a cooling period. In this case, her defense and strength would decrease a lot, and it would take some time to recover. Kal'tsit reached out and comforted Mon3tr, and then took it back.

The relationship between her and Mon3tr is more than just summoner and summoner; they can even be described as twins. It's because of Mon3tr's existence that Kal'tsit is able to maintain her immortality. Mon3tr also has his own feelings and will, and the relationship between them is actually equal. Many people don't understand this relationship or the emotions between them, but Kal'tsit doesn't bother to explain it.

As the guardian of civilization, she had far more things to worry about, and explaining things like this one by one was a waste of time.

Before Noah returned, she had promised to protect the camp, and she was a woman of her word.

"Miss Kal'tsit!" Not long after Kal'tsit resolved the situation, Amiya came to support her, holding a staff. Of course, she could only see Kal'tsit standing alone on the battlefield and the unlucky shield guard with a pierced chest. "Is it... already resolved?"

"You shouldn't have come up here." Kel'tsit said without even turning her head, "I can solve the problem."

"I'm just... worried about Miss Kal'tsit..." Amiya defended herself softly, "Miss Noah said that before she comes back..."

"I will protect you until she returns." Kal'tsit interrupted Amiya and turned around. "Those soldiers haven't been completely wiped out. This place has been exposed. We should move as soon as possible."

"...But Miss Noah hasn't returned yet." Amiya knew that staying here was extremely dangerous, but she was also worried that Noah wouldn't be able to find the camp when she returned. "And where can we go?"

"Anywhere is safer than here," Kal'tsit replied. Killing an Ursus soldier herself was already a provocation to Ursus. The next attack on the camp might not be soldiers, but artillery fire. By then, no one here would survive. "If you had the awareness of a leader here, you should understand the current situation."

"...Ms. Kal'tsit is right." Amiya quickly understood the situation and made a decision immediately. "We need to evacuate the injured, but... we need time."

"I'll fight for it." Kal'tsit was actually a bit surprised. She had thought she would have to spend more time talking, but Amiya made the decision much faster than she expected. "I know where the Ursus military camp is, and I have some connections there, but to be on the safe side, it would be safer for you to move first."

The Ursus soldiers have begun to clear the ruins, which is not a good sign. When Kal'tsit went to the Ursus military camp to negotiate, Amiya was the only one here who could protect the refugees.

Shouldering responsibilities is the only way to grow, and Amiya is the type who will grow rapidly under pressure. In a very short period of time, Amiya's latent leadership potential has gradually begun to grow. It was obviously just a temporary transfer decision, but after Amiya returned to the camp, she immediately gathered all the camp members who could move and arranged everything in an orderly manner, including the transfer of the wounded and the direction of the transfer - just like Noah's judgment, her plan was to move towards the Longmen Military Control Area.

She had seen what Ursus was doing, and now Longmen was clearly the better choice, especially since a conflict was already underway.

The transfer of the camp was very slow, but this was the limit of what they could do. Amiya walked at the back of the group. She was the only one here who was capable of protecting them. She held a staff in her hand, her eyes firm, and she was ready to fight the enemy in close combat. Of course, it would be best if no one caught up with her.

Ursus's actions could not be hidden from Longmen. When Ursus's troops began to clear the border area, Longmen quickly reacted. After Chen Huijie and Xingxiong returned to the military control area, they led the team out without even having time to sit down. Their target was also very clear, which was naturally the rescue camp located in the border area. Both sides were rushing in two directions. The Longmen Guard Bureau quickly found Amiya and others who had moved with their families. After learning about the actions of the Ursus army, Chen Huijie asked Xingxiong to protect Amiya and others into the military control area, while he was responsible for covering their retreat.

Attacking a neutral aid camp was a clear violation of wartime regulations. Although Chen Huijie's face showed no emotion, Xingxiong, who knew her temper well, understood that she was furious. And she wasn't the only one furious. Meanwhile, the Reunion Movement in Chernobog had also received the news. Many of its members were former Ursus soldiers, so they were able to intercept Ursus' radio communications, and in those communications, they learned of the Ursus attack on the neutral camp.

And there was only one neutral camp they knew of.

After learning that Amiya and others were in danger, Tallulah could no longer sit still. Even with Alina pulling her back, she would never sit idly by.

"We should go help," Tallulah said, looking at the gathered Reunion cadres. "Miss Noa saved Froststar, we owe them a favor."

"...I...will...march." Although the Patriot's voice was a little unclear due to the respirator, everyone could understand the meaning clearly.

"But directly confronting the Ursus army... we don't have the upper hand." Alina didn't object to helping, but as the only brake here, she had to remind Tallulah, "Don't forget, this isn't the first time we've fought Ursus, and we've paid a heavy price every time."

"...I know, Alina. We're not going to fight the Ursus army head-on this time. What we need to do is help Amiya and the others evacuate safely." Tallulah knew that the Reunion Movement couldn't fight the Ursus army head-on. "Remember what we did in the snowfield?"

"You mean...guerrilla warfare?"

"Yes, guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is the Reunion's forte." Tallulah nodded. "We need to buy time for our allies. Does anyone have any objections?"

Almost all the integration movement cadres in the camp were recruited by Tallulah. Since Tallulah had spoken, they basically had no objections. Soon, everyone agreed with Tallulah's proposal.

"Alina." After the meeting, everyone had to go back and prepare to leave, but Talulah found Alina alone. The dragon girl who was so passionate in the meeting seemed a little embarrassed in front of Alina.

"I know what you're thinking, and I agree that I must help." Alina knew that Tallulah was worried that she would be unhappy. She shook her head. "Tallulah, we are the Reunion Movement, and we are aligned. As long as you make a decision, I will definitely stand by you."

"Thank you, Alina." Tallulah finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you would be angry."

"Wait until it's over if you're angry, Talulah." Alina said with a smile, "Okay, I have to go get ready too, Talulah. We still need some people to stay behind to protect the camp, especially with Miss Froststar in the camp. Let me handle this matter."

"Okay!" Tallulah's plans were always quite radical, and Alina would always help her find and fill in the gaps. It could be said that the heart of the entire Reunion Movement was Tallulah, and the brain was Alina. The collaboration between the two was the true Reunion Movement. "Thank you, Alina."

"I'm used to being bothered by you." Alina looked at the Dragon Girl in front of her and could only sigh that she seemed to have not changed. What Tallulah didn't know was that there was another reason why she agreed.

That is repaying a favor.

"Noah Kyrielight... So that's your name."

After Tallulah left, Alina sighed softly.
