Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Oh it's you."

Hamilton clearly recognized Williams and said coldly, "Very well, I always thought that a fool like you who incessantly uses poetry to incite the Tara people deserved to die, and today you've just fallen into my hands."

Hill, take him away!

Williams did not resist and voluntarily extended his hand, allowing Hill to put the shackles on him.

Even now, he is still conceiving his unfinished poem in his mind.

He finally figured out how to end his poem.

The bugle call could no longer be contained in the crowd and rushed out to stop Williams' self-sacrifice.

At the same time, a crisp sound came from the banquet window.

The glass shards reflected a dazzling luster under the light, and a rock strapped with an Originium bomb flew in, heading straight for Hamilton and Williams.

Chapter 536 Old Chen: Cut down Drak? I know that like the back of my hand!

The garrison soldiers shouted loudly.

The powerful and wealthy gasped in shock.

Hamilton's expression changed drastically when he saw the Originium bomb flying towards him, and he turned and ran.

However, with shackles on, Williams was somewhat hampered in his movements, and in the chaos, he was even bumped by Hamilton, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

Williams saw the horn rushing towards him, and he saw the Originium bomb flying towards him.

He let out a soft sigh of regret.

It wasn't that I regretted my life was about to end, but that I regretted that the poem I had just finished could not be sung by anyone.

However, as he watched the approaching figure of the horn, time seemed to slow down infinitely, and Williams' regret vanished.

Why should I be discouraged?

Although the fire burned the entire land

But I saw a person's soul on the other side of the scales.

Williams smiled and peacefully closed his eyes.

Just as his vision went completely dark, a blazing light he had never seen before suddenly burst forth.

Williams reopened his eyes.

He saw an angel.

Sarkata stood tall amidst the chaotic crowd, his halo and wings gleaming, his outstretched arms steady and powerful.

The trigger of the gun was pulled, the hammer at the rear of the gun bounced, and a jet of muzzle flashed out with a soft sound.

The rock flying in mid-air, along with the Originium bomb, was inevitably reduced to fragments by Outcast's etching bullets, without even being able to explode.

Outcast elegantly spun his revolver and chuckled:

"Compared to your increasingly large weapons, my little guy is much more convenient to conceal, isn't he?"

ACE and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look out the window.

Horn rushed to Williams, helped him up, and asked with concern:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"Thanks, it was just a slip." Williams was still a bit dazed. "That Sakota..."

"They are my companions, here to stop this tragedy from happening."

Horn breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Williams was alright, and turned to look at Hamilton, who was hiding to the side.

Hamilton, who had already retreated to the center of the garrison, looked extremely grim.

He glared at the horn and roared:

"You really showed up here. I knew it. You nobles always manage to collude in ways I never expected."

“You seem to have a lot of grievances against the nobles, but now is not the time to concern yourself with those things,” the Horn said in a deep voice. “I am here to stop the conflict between you and Deeppool from escalating further.”

"What do you mean? Are you helping the enemy?!"

Hamilton was furious and pointed his sword at the horn.

"I'm protecting you!"

As soon as the horn finished speaking, his ears twitched, catching the sound coming from outside the banquet hall.

Hamilton also sensed something was wrong. Looking into the distance, he could clearly see a large number of troops emerging on the street outside through the huge windows of the banquet hall.

His face immediately turned extremely ugly:

"It's the Deep Pool troops. They've actually infiltrated the city on such a large scale. What happened to the soldiers I assigned to control the streets outside?"

"At a time like this, what we should be more concerned about is how to protect the survivors in the hall!" the horn roared.

“They are traitors who have long sided with Deeppool, they are enemies!” Hamilton retorted angrily.

The bugle was so angry it gritted its teeth.

A loud crash interrupted their argument. Bagpipe, once again displaying Vaivan's formidable physique, smashed through the hall wall and burst out.

Upon seeing this, Hamilton immediately retorted sarcastically:

"It seems that your companions know better how to protect themselves than the righteousness of the Captain Horn."

"Don't use your tendency to deliberately knock others down when you're running away to judge my comrades!" The horn showed its true sense of oppression for the first time.

Hamilton was so overwhelmed by the force of the horn that all his words were stuck in his throat.

Then he saw Bagpipes return from the hole that had been created by the impact, carrying a large bag.

"Captain, everyone!"

The bagpipes threw everyone's weapons over.

Horn caught the weapon, rushed to ACE and the others, and shouted:

"Prioritize protecting the survivors inside the hall; I'll handle the firepower suppression of the Deep Pool troops outside!"

"And I!"

ACE, holding a shield and warhammer, came to the side of the horn and stood shoulder to shoulder with it, facing the countless dark, deep pool soldiers outside.

However, the two men, who were prepared to meet the enemy, discovered that the Deep Pool troops were merely surrounding the banquet hall and showed no signs of attacking.

Only one woman, draped in a deep pool-style cloak, stepped forward alone. Her light golden hair still shone brightly in the dim streetlights. The dragon horns on her head were similar to those of Vayvan, yet slightly different. Behind her, a thick dragon tail swayed gently, the end of which was burning with a strange flame.

"Wait, that's not right!"

Chen sensed a familiarity about the woman, and a chill ran down her spine.

The moment Chen spoke, the woman raised her hand.

A tremendous energy burst forth from the depths of the night.

The fire didn't actually start, but starting with the woman, all living things, including the ornamental plants by the roadside, instantly and silently turned to ashes.

"That fiery feeling...she's also Draco!"

ACE finally realized what was happening and recalled his experience of meeting Talulah in Chernobog.

The woman's fire differed somewhat from Talulah's fire; it didn't melt the buildings or other objects on the street. However, ACE would never mistake the unique flames that ignited from within the objects.

ACE immediately sprang into action, standing in front of the horn and shielding the two men with his shield, shouting:

"Don't take it head-on, get out of the way!"

“Then you…” Horn’s eyes widened.

In the blink of an eye, the flames had spread across the distance between the woman and the banquet hall.

Everyone felt a burning sensation surging from within their bodies, a burning sensation that seemed to come from their very souls.

Fear and despair filled the hearts of everyone present.

At this critical moment, an unexpected figure rushed in front of everyone.

Holding the Crimson Sky sword, Chen resolutely shielded everyone in the banquet hall behind him.

With his hand resting on the hilt of Chixiao's sword, Chen's expression was neither sad nor happy, only the unwavering determination in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Chixiao..."

Chen took a breath, and his aura suddenly exploded.

A dragon's roar resounded through the sky, and crimson sword energy surged forth from the scabbard.

This is the first time Chixiao has been drawn since the incident with Dosoles six months ago.

This was the first time Chen had drawn his sword since he had broken through the city walls.

This time, Chen did not hesitate at all.

Dosoles had thought about it for a long time ever since she saw Qi Yan draw the Crimson Sky.

But she couldn't understand what Qi Yan had said to her.

But Chen figured out something else.

She could never become a shrewd and far-sighted general; she only wanted to be a chivalrous knight-errant who roamed the world with a sword!

Since Lin Yuxia said she was a crazy woman who would draw her sword and kill people whenever she felt wronged, why shouldn't she do it once?

This time, Chen Huijie used Chixiao not because of Qi Yan or any other messy schemes; she only did so to protect the people behind her.

Her will is second to none!

Sword energy surged forth, and the Crimson Sky sword was unsheathed.

The Tearful Edge technique—cut it off when you must!

The sword of tears, when it should be discarded, should be discarded!

Chixiao emitted a sword cry like a dragon's roar. This dragon-slaying sword was drawn from its sheath and swung in Chen's hand, cutting down everything in front of him.

The invisible flames died down, and crimson sword energy tore through the walls, slashed across the earth, and instantly covered a distance of nearly a hundred meters to reach the Drak woman.

The shockwaves from the sword energy whipped the Derak woman's hair into a wild dance behind her.

The woman's expression changed slightly. She never dreamed that she would encounter such an unreasonable sword move, which could even cut through her flames.

She quickly raised her hand to condense flames in front of her, trying to resist the sword strike.

Unfortunately, what she saw was not an illusion. The Crimson Sky Sword Qi once again severed her flames, and the remaining sword Qi slashed fiercely at her arm.

The woman from Drak let out a muffled groan, her face contorted in pain, and she staggered back several meters before finally coming to a stop.

Blood dripped from her arm, turning into beautiful blood flowers on the ground.

The woman from Drak ignored the exclamations of the Deeppool soldiers around her, and also ignored the deep, bone-revealing wound on her arm. She simply stared intently at the spirited woman in the banquet hall.

"That person...that will..."

The woman in Drak had a complex expression, but instead of anger at her defeat, there was a faint...envy.

She left with a single command, then turned and left without a second thought.

Chapter 537 Who can resist a radiant grandma?

Deeppool's troops did not retreat despite their failed raid on the banquet hall; they remained active in Hillshire.

The guards of Littlehill County attempted to resist, but they soon discovered that it was all in vain.

The soldiers of Deep Pool seemed to appear out of nowhere, always emerging from corners, sewers, and even residents' houses.

Not only were the city guards in dire straits, but even the regular garrison that Hamilton brought was facing great difficulties.

Within just a few hours, much of Hillshire had fallen under the control of Deeppool.

However, while the Deeppool soldiers were expanding their rule, their leader was not in good condition.

The woman from Drak sat by a pool in a square, her head bowed and her brow furrowed. The wound on her arm had been bandaged and was hanging in front of her chest.

The Deeppool soldiers surrounding the woman were furious, wishing they could seize and execute Chen on the spot for injuring their leader.
