Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Patriot's crimson eyes closed, and he paused for a moment before opening them again.

The last pure-blooded Wendigo begins his journey across this land once more, continuing his march through life.

“This time, I will take his hand, I will protect him… For this, I am willing to betray everything I have, including the Sarkaz bloodline!”

Chapter 581 Left-behind Children and Lonely Elderly

The King of Carrion has departed.

He came alone and left alone, taking with him only news that was not good for the Sarkaz.

After the King of Carrion departed, the last pure-blooded Wendigo bid farewell to Rhodes Island, carrying the shield and gun forged for him by the engineering department, and embarked on his own journey.

Froststar stood on the deck, watching the old man leave.

She was asked to stay by her father.

"That old stubborn man hasn't changed at all, even now."

Froststar's sigh was crushed in the howling wind of the wilderness.

She turned around and saw the girl in the blue dress, Rupert, standing silently behind her.

Froststar composed herself and gave a wry smile:

"Now, the two left-behind children will begin their daily ward rounds."

"Work must go on, but we can leave this grudge for now." Qi Lin rarely cracked a joke, trying to soothe Shuangxing's sadness.

“That makes sense. For example, if he wants a fruit platter in the middle of the night, I’ll eat it all in front of him and not leave him a single bite.”

Froststar waved her pink fists, as if she could already see what the future would bring.

Qi Lin smiled slightly, then raised her gaze to the distance, letting out a soft sigh in her heart.

Old man, I'm entrusting him to your care.

The snow rabbit trotted to the snow wolf's side, and the two cool-looking girls returned to the ship side by side.

On the other side of the ship, a similar farewell was taking place.

"Kal'tsit, are you sure you want to go see the lich alone?" Warfarin asked with a worried look. "How about I come with you?"

"Everyone has things they should do, and there are times when they are destined not to be able to play a role. You should save your energy for where you are needed more."

Kal'tsit left the ship without looking back.

Warfarin stood there scratching her head, trying to translate the riddle.

"She's saying, it's no use you going."

Shining pushed Nightingale out from behind Warfarin.

"So, I got scolded?" Warfarin's crimson eyes widened.

"Kal'tsit has many amazing skills, but there are also things she is not good at, such as business, or swearing."

After explaining to Kal'tsit, Shining added her own report: "I'm preparing to take Nightingale to Londinium to confront some past issues. I'll leave Rhodes Island in your care."

Warfarin responded dejectedly, watching the departing figures of the two Shining members, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"Busy, everyone's busy, it's good to be busy."

8:15 AM Weather/Overcast

A few kilometers from Lentinium, an attached plot of land.

Wearing the city-destroying combat suit given to her by the doctor, Vina hid behind a bunker and gazed at the city that was faintly visible in the distance.

"Doctor, are you sure you have a way to sneak into the city?"

She turned to look at the doctor in the group who was fiddling with a terminal, and said suspiciously, "Because of what Qi Yan caused in Lentinium, Lentinium's defenses have become even stricter. Now, even Blacksteel International, which we used to cooperate with, has said that it is powerless to help."

The doctor put away his terminal and pointed to Eldo beside him:

"He said the Reunion Movement has people in Lentinium, you should ask him."

Everyone in the group looked at Eldo, who suddenly became the center of attention and seemed a little nervous.

"Well, normally speaking, there are gaps in the defenses at entrance 309 of the Sadien district in Lontinim, and there are two companions inside the city who can meet us."

Vina frowned and said, "But the situation now is perhaps not normal."

"Let's give it a try... anyway, Qi Yan is in the city." Eldo shrugged.

The doctor patted his terminal in his pocket and reminded him:

"I was just trying to contact White Dog, but his terminal is not answering. I don't know what tricks he's playing right now. It's best not to count on him."

Eldo: "..."

Seeing this, Vina turned her head to look in another direction:

"Qi Yan didn't leave the mobile block of Xiaoqiu County outside the city. Maybe we can go there."

Amiya, upon hearing this, spoke up to stop her:

“Miss Vina, I’m afraid this won’t work. Even with Miss Mudrock and the Glasgow Gang that you lead, the team is still not enough to deal with the Sarkaz.”

Once we land on the Hillshire mobile block, we'll be completely under the surveillance of all factions. It will be much harder to infiltrate Londinium to investigate the Sarkaz's plans, let alone stop them from starting a war.

Vina lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Amiya's command.

However, the petite girl next to her seemed rather anxious.

This girl, Felin, was a member of the Glasgow gang led by Vina. Her long black hair was almost as tall as her, and she wore street-style clothing. On each of her wrists was a black claw that gleamed with a cold metallic luster.

Beneath her pale gold eyes, she sported a distinctive gothic-style makeup look.

Vina quickly noticed the girl's expression and spoke up:

"Dagda, do you have a plan?"

The girl, known as Dagda, scanned the faces of everyone, finally settling on Erdo, the only outsider in the group.

"I'm going to make it easier."

Eldo shrugged helplessly and smiled, then turned and walked to the side.

Even so, Dagda hesitated for a moment before speaking his mind:

"The Queen of Advance is the Crown Princess of Victoria. As long as she can obtain the national sword, the Breath of the Kings, in the city of Londinium, she can command the dukes as a member of the royal family."

Therefore, I think we should first try to contact Qi Yan and ask him to help the King of Push obtain the Breath of the Kings, then unite with the other dukes to besiege the Sarkaz.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and the Doctor looked at Amiya.

Amiya initially wanted to refuse outright, but after considering something, she turned to look at Vina.

Vina flatly rejected Dagda's proposal: "This move may allow me to become the Queen of Victoria again, but it will undoubtedly catalyze the outbreak of war. Londinium will be destroyed, and countless civilians in the city will die or be injured."

The team fell silent once again.

Thorn rested its chin on its hand and pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned to look at the mountain beside it:

"Didn't you escape from prison with Qi Yan before? If we reverse our thinking and do it the other way around, wouldn't we be able to get in from the outside?"

A look of bewilderment flashed across the furry tiger's face.

He explained, "When I escaped from prison, Qi Yan directly seized control of Mansfield Prison. If we did it the other way around, wouldn't we be captured by the Sarkaz and imprisoned in Lentinium?"

Thorn turned his head and looked at the Sarkaz girl in the group who had been staring blankly at the ground the whole time:

"It seems like it might not be a bad idea?"

Everyone: "..."

Mudstone looked up suddenly: "Huh?"

Looking at this naturally naive young woman, Thorn scratched his head, smiled wryly, and admitted defeat:

"It seems that it really won't work."

"No, no, no, maybe it really is feasible." The Doctor slapped his forehead and pointed to the gap in the Lontinim city wall, saying, "That gap that Qi Yan created hasn't been filled for so many days because the construction project is too difficult for the Sarkaz."

"So?" Thorn asked, puzzled.

"So we can have Mudrock go there on her own initiative, join the Sarkaz, and use her Originium Arts to fill the gap."

The professor slammed his fist into his palm and said excitedly, "By then, that wall will look intact, but in reality, it will have long been turned into a toy for the mudstone. It'll be a piece of cake for them to secretly open a passage for us under the cover of night!"

After a moment of deliberation, the group felt that it seemed feasible.

Vina looked at the gap in the distance, frowned in deep thought, and then suddenly realized:

"I understand, this was all planned by Qi Yan long ago!"

Chapter 582 Lord Mudrock

The doctor said he didn't want to talk to Vina and sent out Mudrock, which had a remarkable effect.

Mudrock walked alone toward Londinium, where he was spotted by the Sarkaz on the city wall from afar, but they did not choose to attack.

The people hiding behind the cover also put away their playful thoughts and prepared to deal with any unexpected situations.

The doctor looked around at the manpower and calmly gave instructions:

"Bagpipes, Vina, you two have the best battlefield mobility. If Mudrock fails, rush over to support him immediately."

Huang and Shan are responsible for blocking the enemy's offensive, while Thorn provides support and damage output from the rear. Shuiyue should stay hidden, and you are the best candidate to cover the rear.

Everyone else, gather around me and protect me... Sigh, it's a pity Kal'tsit didn't approve my request to bring Eureka, otherwise, there wouldn't be this trouble.

Everyone: "..."

While they were setting up their lines, Mudrock had already walked to the gap in Lentinium under Sarkaz's watchful eye.

"Stop, who are you?"

A Sarkaz squad descended from the city wall using a zipline, weapons in hand, keeping a watchful eye on the mudstone.

Seeing this, Niyan quickly put down his hammer and raised his hands in surrender:

“I am also a Sarkaz, a mercenary. I heard that they are gathering Sarkaz here to rebuild Kazdel, so I came to help.”

The Sarkaz squad members exchanged glances, visibly relaxing a bit.

But their squad leader still stepped forward and gave the order:

"Remove your helmet and disarm."

Upon hearing this, Niyan obediently took off his helmet.

A beautiful young woman with white hair and red eyes appeared before the team.

"Hiss... Captain, I think she's a good person."

"Her horns are so beautiful, is she a descendant of some special bloodline?"

"However, she doesn't look like a very capable fighter. Can she go to the battlefield?"

The squad leader, with a stern face, silenced his team members' whispering, then looked at Niyan again, his expression immediately softening.

"Young lady, where are you from? Are you really planning to join the battle?" the squad leader asked softly.

"Um... I'm here to help repair the city walls. If possible, I don't want to go to the battlefield."

Mudrock first pointed to the gap in Lentinium, then explained, "I used to live in Kazdel, then left to join an organization called Reunion, but later chose to leave, got lost in Letania, and then..."

"Stop, stop, there's no need to be so meticulous."

The squad leader interrupted Niyan's self-introduction, looked her up and down a few times, and asked suspiciously, "Are you very good at civil engineering?"

"Not good at it." Mudrock's main strength is honesty.

Squad Leader: "..."

Then what are you doing here?

With your skinny arms and legs, how many bricks can you carry?

Seeing the doubt in the squad leader's eyes, Mud Rock raised his hand to prove himself with action:

"I can ask my friends for help with my Originium Arts."
