Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

As he spoke, Qi Yan pulled the staff out of the ground and opened his mouth to bite it.

Mostima reacted quickly and snatched back her staff.

Before the giant beast inside could even cheer in relief, she flung the staff away like trash.

Then Mostima said with exasperation:

"Qi Yan, Qi Yan, there's such a beautiful woman right in front of you, but you don't pay attention to her. Instead, you're only staring at a ghost that's been dead for who knows how many years!"

Is this all the ambition you have? Is this all the pursuit you have? Can't you wake up?

Qi Yan sniffed, frowned, glanced at the embarrassed Ersula, and commented:

"You reek of alcohol, but you're no match for my mud rock!"

Mostima: "..."

Ersula's face turned bright red, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

If she could, she wouldn't want to run around reeking of alcohol; she's usually very clean!

But the situation doesn't allow it!

Thinking of this, Ersula looked at the staff that had fallen to the ground in the distance, and her eyes were filled with resentment towards the culprit that had made her reek of alcohol.

The giant beast inside the staff: "..."

What's wrong with this world?

He is a behemoth, a god!

Has this land gone mad, reduced to the point of being despised by everyone?

Mostima, undeterred, pinched his nose and tried to continue promoting Ersula.

Qi Yan was not interested and kept staring at the staff.

Ersula was on the verge of a breakdown. Qi Yan's disdainful attitude was even more unacceptable than being beaten up by His Highness and that Lupo girl.

The doctor walked over from a short distance again, and as soon as he arrived, he sniffed and asked:

"Why does it smell like alcohol? It stinks."

His words were the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Ersula struggled frantically in Mostima's grasp, shouting:

"Let me go! I need to take a shower! I can't take it anymore!"

The doctor realized he had accidentally said something hurtful and quickly and awkwardly tried to appease him:

"Oh, it's you. I'm sorry, I was in such a rush that I didn't have time to ask who you are."

Mostima casually remarked, "The Sarkaz officer was captured by me."

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately stopped feeling embarrassed.

Turns out they weren't on our side!

"Xiao Mo, take her away quickly, she stinks." The doctor waved his hand dismissively.

Ersula could no longer bear the blow. She broke free from Mostima's grasp, turned and ran towards Theresa, seeking comfort from her princess.

But as soon as she got close to Theresa, she noticed that the other woman instinctively took a half step back.

Ersula's approaching steps froze, and she lost all color in her body.

On Qi Yan's side, Mostima, because everyone disliked the gift she prepared, squatted down with a resentful look on her face and drew circles on the ground with the Lock of Desolation.

The doctor then regained his serious expression and reminded Qi Yan:

"Kal'tsit and I have already discussed the next course of action. We will all head to Silverstone Cliff, while Vina and Horn will support the main battlefield and join forces with the Duke to fight against the Carrion army."

Rhodes Island's forces have penetrated deep behind enemy lines. I don't know what difficulties they'll encounter along the way, but I can assure you, Theresa definitely has a backup plan.

"With me here, even the King of Carrion would have to lie there like a corpse," Qi Yan said nonchalantly.

The doctor said seriously, "This is what I wanted to remind you. You don't need to participate in the upcoming battle."

“Now, the only one who can restrain Theresa is you,” the doctor instructed. “No matter what happens, you must not be distracted by anything else until the ‘first Originium’ is completely stopped from descending.”

Remember, I'll handle all the other difficulties for you; you just need to focus on watching over Theresa.

Qi Yan glanced at Theresa in the distance, then lowered his head and fell into thought.

After a long pause, he raised his head again, his expression more serious than ever before, and said:

“Rhodes Island is like this; they only need to consider how to stop the war. But I have many more things to consider.”

Qi Yan continued, "Theresa's current state is definitely not something that can be maintained indefinitely by preventing the 'First Originium' from descending. After all, she is already dead."

"……what you up to?"

"What I want to do is very simple: to leave no regrets."

Upon hearing Qi Yan's answer, the professor fell silent for a moment.

After pausing for a moment, he asked again, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Qi Yan nodded vigorously:

"I'll teach you some talking techniques. You can pass them on to Kal'tsit. If necessary, have her use these techniques to stall Theresa!"

Chapter 762 The Right Way to Communicate with Chen Huijie

The Doctor stood by the entrance to Brentwood, head down, pondering how to convey Qi Yan's words to Kal'tsit while ensuring he wouldn't be stuffed into a sarcophagus and remade by Kal'tsit.

He couldn't figure it out, but he did see a group of people preparing to leave.

That was the team led by Vina and the Horn, preparing to carry the Breath of the Kings to support the main battlefield at Silverstone Cliff.

The size of this force has long surpassed that of the force that was just withdrawn from the city of Londinium.

The horn, along with the Stormtroopers, gathered many Victorians caught up in the war, constantly expanding their ranks.

Some of these Victorians chose to stay in town and wait patiently for the war to end, while others, for various reasons, chose to continue participating in the war.

The professor didn't intend to interfere in the team's management, but he still waved to the team and called out:

"Old Chen, come back here right now!"

Chen, whose name was called, was a little confused and broke away from the group to walk up to the doctor.

She asked, puzzled, "Is something the matter, Doctor?"

"You're still asking me?" the doctor said irritably. "In the dead of winter, I think your little head is spinning from the heat. A bunch of Victorians are fighting a war, what are you, a Yan countryman, doing mixed in with them?"

"You were like this with Dosoles back then, and now you're doing the same thing with Victoria. Can't you just give me a break?"

Chen retorted, unconvinced, "I was simply acting on my own will."

"Good, good, good! Our chivalrous Chen is a paragon of righteousness, a living bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."

The doctor spewed out sarcastic and insane messages: "Then go ahead, and if someone sees you, they'll use your Yan Kingdom royal status to make a big fuss, forcing Yan Kingdom to take action, and Victoria will be in complete chaos."

Even someone as carefree as Xiao Mo knows to stay out of the main battle. Can't you use your brain a little more?

Chen's face turned pale and then red after being rebuked, but he couldn't say a word.

After holding it in for a while, Chen muttered:

"Then I won't go. I'll go with Rhodes Island."

"Don't get involved."

The doctor waved his hand dismissively: "Go to the White Dog's retirement home. You can do whatever you want on that battlefield. When you see an enemy, just transform into Terra and start hacking away."

"Misery, come here."

The doctor didn't give Chen a chance to continue speaking, and waved and called for his own elite operators who had returned to Rhodes Island from the Exemplary Army.

Upon hearing the summons, Misery strolled over with his hands in his pockets and smiled:

"Doctor, it's not that I don't want Miss Chen to leave the Exemplary Army with me, but she's just too stubborn."

The doctor waved his hand and said, "I'm not trying to cause you any trouble. I know Old Chen's personality. She just can't talk to you properly. She gets uncomfortable if I don't scold her a couple of times."

Chen raised an eyebrow, his face contorted with anger, and stubbornly retorted with a long face:

“I only represent myself, Chen Huijie, and what I have done has nothing to do with Yan Country… However, since the doctor has this concern, I will listen to you this once.”

Msery stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Just as the doctor said, it seems that I will have to use this correct way of communicating with Ms. Chen in the future.

The doctor, too lazy to bother with Chen, instructed Misery:

"You will personally escort Old Chen to the nursing home. Before you leave, remember to ask Kroos for a properly calibrated internal communicator. A team from the Rhodes Island main ship will go to the nursing home, and you will be responsible for receiving them."

Misery accepted the order and turned to look for Kroos, with Chen following behind him in silence, his face tense.

Watching Chen's departing figure, the professor sighed with regret:

"Poor Governor Wei, I wonder how much effort you had to put in to mold Old Chen into the politician you hoped for."

However… perhaps it would be more suitable for Old Chen to remain a chivalrous figure.

After a casual remark, the doctor regained his composure and continued to ponder his life-or-death dilemma.

Even after drinking two doses of sanity potion, he still couldn't come up with a way to save his life before the team set off.

"Doctor, it's time to go. What are you planning this time?"

Kal'tsit walked over and saw the empty bottle at the Doctor's feet; her familiar cat-like face immediately came to mind again.

The Doctor stared intently at Kal'tsit, leaving the latter completely bewildered.

"Never mind, these are all necessary sacrifices."

The Doctor's sigh nearly triggered Kal'tsit's PTSD.

"General, the carriage is ready."

A Sarkaz approached Manfred and reported.

Manfred nodded in agreement, indicating that Sarkaz could proceed.

He silently gazed at the enormous mech strapped to the transport vehicle, then followed behind, preparing to leave the city for the nursing home.

There wasn't a single pedestrian on the streets of Lentinium; it was as quiet as a ghost town.

As he walked, Manfred pulled out a blueprint from his pocket and looked at it as he went to pass the time.

"If only Kroos were a member of the Military Council."

Manfred felt a pang of jealousy, but he also knew that it was unlikely that an engineer like Kroos would be in the Sarkaz's ranks.

Given Kazdel's situation, someone as tech-savvy as Kroos would have been completely overlooked. If Kal'tsit hadn't brought her to Rhodes Island, Kroos wouldn't have achieved what she has today.

After a long sigh, Manfred suppressed the surging emotions in his chest and carefully put the blueprints into his pocket for protection.

Suddenly, Manfred heard a powerful gushing sound of steam rising from a distance, approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Manfred instantly realized what had happened and loudly warned the Sarkaz in the group.

The moment he spoke, a massive steam-powered mech descended from the sky and crashed into the Sarkaz ranks.

Several Sarkaz screamed as they were thrown into the air, the ground trembled, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

"Victoria!"

A deep, frenzied roar emanated from the cockpit of the steam-powered mech. The massive mech raised its arm, its power reactor blazing wildly, and a beam of energy formed a lightsaber that swung down at the transport vehicle.

"Protect the mech!" Manfred shouted urgently.

Blood clung to the transport vehicle, easily pulling it away and causing the Steam Knight's attack to miss its mark.

Ducarre gracefully descended from the sky, still holding the medical book in his hands:

"It seems that waiting for the rabbit to come to the tree stump has worked quite well. Ghost wandering in the city, I have finally found you."

The Steam Knight regained his footing, not glancing at Ducarre, but staring intently at the transport vehicle carrying the steam armor.

"Glory... cannot be stolen... Glory belongs to... Victoria!"

He kept repeating his maniacal words as he recklessly charged his mech toward the transport vehicle.
