Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

His eyes were full of hope.

The war is over, and the nursing home is in ruins, but it still stands on this land.

"How is Talulah?" Patriot asked.

“Her physical condition is a bit poor; she pushed herself too hard in this battle,” Biura replied, taking notes in her notebook. “But her mental state is exceptionally good. When Warfarin was treating her, she even had the mind to tease Frostnova.”

patriot:"……"

Why are there always so many young girls around my daughter?

Have all the outstanding young men on this land become extinct?

While taking notes, Biura casually remarked:

"Frostnova felt sorry for Talulah because she was injured, so she ignored her and went to take care of Ator instead, which made Talulah feel a bit resentful."

"Ato won't do."

Patriot suddenly said something out of the blue.

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Patriot shook his head and turned to look at Hrag, who was directing his troops in handling post-war matters.

He walked to Helag's side and asked:

"General, what are your plans next?"

"I should go and fulfill my promise to Silver Spear Pegasus."

Helag stood tall and straight, the wind, thick with the smell of burning and blood, ruffling his clothes.

"Please let the Shield Guard accompany you."

The two exchanged a smile, then simultaneously realized something and turned to look in the same direction.

On the dilapidated street near the nursing home, a hooded, unremarkable-looking man strolled slowly by.

The man's movements were not clean or efficient; he even avoided the corpses by taking detours.

Patriot and Hellagur can easily see through each other's hidden tricks.

“He is a soldier.” Helag noticed the unchangeable details in the other person’s movements.

"Ha, as expected, nothing can fool the general."

Upon hearing Herag's words, the man, somewhat embarrassed, abandoned his attempt to hide and walked confidently towards the two men.

He lifted his hood, revealing his ordinary face and Ursus features, and then respectfully gave the two men an Ursus military salute.

"Please excuse my poor appearance, this is my first official mission," the man explained.

"Why are you here?" Patriot asked in a deep voice.

"I have come by order of His Majesty," the man confessed.

Herag frowned and turned to look at Patriot.

He saw a flicker of doubt in Patriot's eyes as well.

What was the Emperor of Ursus planning at this moment, sending a soldier to the nursing home?

"Please don't worry," the man said with a smile. "I'm here simply to clear up some misunderstandings."

"What misunderstanding?" Patriot asked.

"Everyone's misunderstanding of Ursus."

The man took out a document from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Hrag, explaining, "This is a report on the movements of various countries that Ursus has collected. Among the more key points are Letania and Yan."

The two queens of Letania, the Black Queen has led her troops north, while the White Queen has gone alone to the border between Letania and Victoria.

She made a promise to the land in her own name that Letania would not send troops to Victoria and would prevent any force from approaching Victoria.

Even the Yan Kingdom has shown some unusual activity. Spy agents have discovered that troops from various parts of the Yan Kingdom are showing signs of converging northward, and the movement trajectory of the border city of Yumen is clearly getting closer to the border.

This move has even alarmed Ursus and the Eastern Kingdom, and for the first time, the border between the three kingdoms has entered a state of high alert due to the actions of the Yan Kingdom.

Patriot and Helag glanced at the information on the document, then put it down and looked back at the man in front of them.

Patriot calmly said, "I don't see any misunderstanding, I just see that Ursus seems to be quite busy."

"The captain is right."

The man showed no anger; instead, he thanked him sincerely.

This surprised the patriots somewhat.

The man looked up at the patriot earnestly and said:

"His Majesty has overruled all objections and ordered the army group to assemble at the border."

"What is he going to do?"

Patriot and Helag spoke at the same time.

The man took a deep breath, somewhat intimidated by the two men's imposing presence, but still replied earnestly:

"Ursus has no intention of starting a war, but it is necessary for Ursus to take action for this land."

The Sarkaz's plot in Victoria must be taken very seriously. If Victoria falls, Ursus will relinquish command of the army group, placing full leadership in the hands of the two of them to vanquish the demons!

Chapter 801 Emperor: Old Black Snake, guess who I found to deal with you!

Herag caught his breath, said nothing, and simply turned to look at the Patriot beside him.

Patriots were at a loss for words for a moment.

He couldn't understand what the young emperor of Ursus was thinking at all.

Let a Sarkaz lead the Ursus army to kill the Sarkaz?

Even disregarding Patriot's Sarkaz identity, General Hrag had already left Ursus, rendering his so-called generalship meaningless.

Entrusting the army group that represents the very foundation of Ursus to an 'outsider' is no different from handing a knife to the enemy and then offering your neck for slaughter.

Just as the two were feeling lost, the man pulled out another letter from his pocket.

"Gentlemen, this is a secret letter written by His Majesty himself for you." The man respectfully handed the letter to Herag, then slowly stepped back. "Even I have not opened it. I hope you will take a look."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a third item from his pocket.

Upon seeing the object in the man's hand, Patriot and Helag were both startled:

"what are you up to?"

“My mission is complete. For Ursus, for His Majesty, I must keep quiet.”

The man pointed the dagger at his neck and, without hesitation, stabbed it in with all his might.

Blood gushed out, and with the last of his strength, the man twisted the dagger and severed his own head.

Not far away, Biyura and the others were stunned by what they saw.

The patriot stared silently at the headless corpse of the man, beside which the man's head bore a smile of utter contentment.

Herag looked away, unable to bear watching the scene, and opened the secret letter in his hand.

The beautiful handwriting on the letter caught the attention of Hrag and Patriot, who had turned their gaze away. Upon reading the contents, both of their pupils contracted simultaneously.

'The evil god of old has gone to Yan Kingdom, Ursus must make changes, and Ursus's will will break free from all shackles.'

Let the old aristocracy and the corrupt system, along with that black serpent shadow, remain forever in history.

Emperor Fyodor of Ursus implores General Horag and Captain Bojokast to convey this message to Mr. Qi Yan.

After the two finished reading, Herag felt a warmth at his fingertips.

The edges of the letter began to yellow, then burned, turning into specks of ash at Hrag's fingertips that drifted away in the wind.

Hrag stared at the few remaining black marks on his fingertips and whispered:

"What a grand gesture! The command of the army group is not being given to you or me. It's clear that they know about our relationship with Qi Yan and are using this method to curry favor with him."

That emperor was gambling; he knew of the feud between Qi Yan and the Black Serpent.

"Unfortunately, he seems to have made the wrong bet," Patriot replied. "The feud between Qi Yan and Black Snake is, in a sense, one-sided; Black Snake is not even worth Qi Yan's attention."

I don't believe that His Majesty's situation in Ursus really puts him in a position where he is truly capable of relinquishing command of the army group; this might just be a tactic he employs.

He was trying to extend the internal conflicts of Ursus onto Qi Yan, using this as a way to draw Qi Yan into the situation.

"Then the key lies in Yan Country. There must be an event happening there with an impact no less than that of Victoria, which may involve some people that Qi Yan knows."

Herag flicked the ashes from his fingertips and turned to look in the direction of Lentinium.

He knew very well what choice Qi Yan would make.

"The hibernating mountain carries a tall chimney; the tracks pull my home, creaking and groaning."

Outcast hummed a folk song he had learned from Hillshire as he strolled leisurely down the ship's corridor.

She had a lot of free time lately, so much so that she couldn't help but chat endlessly with anyone she met.

As a result, everyone on Rhodes Island would run away whenever they saw her.

It's not that people find her annoying; on the contrary, everyone enjoys chatting with her, and they often lose track of time when they start talking.

The key issue is that Outcast is a free man who can chat without interfering with his work, while others may enjoy their conversations but then have to work overtime to deal with the missed tasks.

"I found an acorn in the drain, right next to a rusty rivet."

The next line of the folk song floated down the corridor, but it wasn't sung by Outcast.

Upon hearing the song, Outcast smiled, quickened his pace, and found the singer around the corner.

“Reed, I haven’t seen you wandering around the corridor much lately. What have you been up to?” Outcast asked the Drak woman in front of him.

Wearing a Rhodes Island uniform, Raphsini dragged a suitcase and bowed slightly to Outcast as a junior.

She smiled and said, "I've been packing my bags recently, preparing to leave Rhodes Island temporarily."

Upon hearing this, Outcast became somewhat anxious:

"If even you're leaving, then I'll be missing someone to chat with and relieve my boredom... Wait, you're not going to Victoria too, are you?"

The reed nodded and explained:

"But I'm not going to support the nursing home. Everyone there is there, so I don't need to worry."

"So you're going home to visit family?" Outcast joked.

To everyone's surprise, the reeds actually nodded.

She looked out the window of the Rhodes Island corridor, as if she had made up her mind:

"During this time, I met many people and witnessed many things on Rhodes Island. I could feel everyone's emotions and will."

I think I was too weak before, not in terms of my strength, but in terms of my will.

The situation in Victoria is escalating, and knowing my sister's personality, I know she'll definitely involve Deeppool in the conflict, trying to squeeze some profits out of Victoria.

"Are you going to help your sister?"

"Yes and no."

This time, Reed shook her head and explained, "I'm going back to continue searching for Deeppool's future. I will help my sister find a home for Deeppool and Tara, but I don't agree with my sister's current view of Deeppool."

What Deeppool should be resisting is not the so-called Victoria, but the prejudice and oppression from others, even its own people. The Tara people should stand tall on this land, proudly and with their heads held high, living a life that belongs to them.

Outcast's expression turned serious again, and he reminded him:

"Your choice is countless times more difficult than your sister's."

“I know, and it is precisely because I know that I must act immediately.” Reed looked around the corridor with some reluctance. “I cannot say goodbye to Qi Yan and everyone at Rhodes Island. Please convey to me, madam, that I am very grateful for everyone’s care during this time.”

Outcast raised his hand, but ultimately did not try to stop him, and stepped aside to let him pass.

“I respect your decision, but don’t forget that everyone on Rhodes Island is your friend, and we welcome you back anytime.”

Reed nodded to indicate that she had remembered, then dragged her suitcase away.

Outcast stood there until Reed's figure disappeared around the corner before letting out a regretful sigh:

“It’s great to be young.”
