Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Upon hearing this, the deputy general standing nearby showed a hint of worry on his face.

"General, the enemy may very well have set up an ambush as he said, waiting for us to get close. There is a saying in Yan that goes, 'A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.' We should continue to sweep through steadily."

The lieutenant earnestly tried to persuade his general, hoping to calm him down.

Unfortunately, all his painstaking efforts only earned him a slap from his own general.

General Ursus showed no mercy, slapping his adjutant so hard that the adjutant staggered and nearly fell over.

"Are you telling me how to do things?" General Ursus said coldly. "A bunch of rabble-out thugs and a pharmaceutical company team, even if I let them ambush us first, how many casualties can they inflict on our army?"

I enjoy seeing the weak fight back desperately against me, only to be crushed bit by bit, their cries and wails filled with despair.

"But this would mean the needless sacrifice of many soldiers..."

The lieutenant covered his face and stopped speaking as the Ursus general's gaze grew increasingly fierce.

Seeing that the other party had finally stopped nagging, General Ursus nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and pulled the communicator off his deputy's ear and put it on his own.

General Ursus took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice, "All troops, advance at full speed!"

Ursus' army group received orders to increase its marching speed at all costs.

Directly ahead of them, the Extreme Horizon spy peered out and observed the situation. Upon discovering the enemy's movements, it immediately reported back to the main force.

But just as he was about to slip away, he was horrified to find a figure behind him, smiling at him.

"Damn it, you bastard, are you trying to die?!"

Ji Jing was so frightened by Qi Yan that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth, and she immediately started cursing angrily.

"Oh, look at you, getting impatient." Qi Yan said mockingly with a smile.

Jijing packed up his gear and prepared to make his escape.

He didn't have Qi Yan's strength to dare to joke around so leisurely when the Ursus Group Army was pressing in.

Before he could even get up, Qi Yan suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.

Qi Yan looked directly into Ji Jing's eyes, his expression more serious than ever before, and asked:

Do you know the meaning of "vanguard"?

Chapter 116 Qi Yan's Battle Against the Army Group

"I don't know, I'm not interested, goodbye!"

Without a second thought, Jijing immediately launched into a three-part denial and turned to run away.

Unfortunately, Liberi's little bird had no ability to resist the white-feathered Lupo.

Qi Yan slammed Ji Jing to the ground and dragged him backward by his legs:

"Young man, the vanguard under my command fights to the death; there is no such thing as retreating or returning home!"

"Are you a devil? Doctor Kal'tsit, save me!"

With an indescribable scream from a seagull, the extreme region fell completely silent.

The Ursus Army arrived below the building where the two were located.

Under the command of the deputy general, the army group surrounded the building and then split into three small teams, which advanced upstairs by flanking from both sides and providing cover for one team.

No enemies were found on the second floor.

No enemies were found on the third floor.

"Nothing found on the fourth floor... Wait, what is this...?"

Amidst the exclamations coming through the communication channel, a line of blood appeared in the sight of the army group outside the building, cutting the entire building in half.

The lieutenant's expression changed drastically: "Using blood lines as an attack method, it's that Qi Yan named Luper from the intelligence! Everyone, immediately create distance!"

At this moment, the army group demonstrated extremely high military prowess, maintaining its formation and steadily retreating without panicking despite the collapsed buildings in front of it.

Amidst the dust and smoke kicked up by the collapsing building, a figure dragged two wounded comrades as they fled in a disheveled state.

Behind the three, the bloodline seemed to possess a life of its own, swimming and chasing after them.

"Covering fire!"

The deputy general made a decisive decision and ordered the army group's sniper unit to carry out a rescue operation.

The crossbow bolt struck the thin line of blood with pinpoint accuracy, then sliced ​​it in two, falling limply to the ground.

But it seemed to have some effect; the bloodline missed its mark and only pierced through the lower leg of one of the injured.

With the help of the still-capable army soldier, they forcibly pulled the wounded man's calf out of the blood line. The wound was torn open by the blood line, and blood gushed out immediately, but the three of them managed to escape back to the main force.

"Where's the medic? Help!"

A young voice came from behind the mask of the army group soldier who had saved his two comrades.

Immediately, someone stepped forward to take care of the wounded.

The army soldier with the injured calf looked at the person who saved him, his voice full of gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life, good brother."

"Hey, look at this, he's thanking me."

Qi Yan chuckled.

His reply was somewhat strange, but none of the army groups present had the energy to think about it further.

As the dust and smoke from the collapsed building dissipated, a white-haired figure came into view of the army group.

The lieutenant was visibly surprised after recognizing the other man.

"General, this guy doesn't seem to match the image in the intelligence."

General Ursus glanced at his lieutenant and frowned, saying:

"White hair, using blood threads as weapons, possessing extremely strong cutting ability, what doesn't match up?"

"The intelligence report didn't mention that Qi Yan had a tuft of red dye, and why didn't I see his wolf ears and tail?"

The deputy general, in a spirit of rigor, raised questions.

Unfortunately, his questions were completely ignored by his boss.

General Ursus waved his hand arrogantly and said, "No need to worry about so much. Today, regardless of whether he is Qi Yan or not, if he dares to attack Ursus, he can stay here."

"Activate Imperial artillery fire! The vanguard locks onto him! Rear artillery battalions, prepare to bombard him!"

The lieutenant opened his mouth as if to say something, but noticing the changing look in General Ursus's eyes, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

A tremendous roar resounded from the rear of the army group as three giant drones, operated smoothly by the army group's artillery strategists, took off and formed a triangular formation to surround 'Qi Yan' in the ruins.

At that moment, a figure jogged up to General Ursus.

General Ursus glanced at him and recognized him as the survivor who had just saved his two comrades.

His attitude did not improve because of this person's achievements; he said firmly:

"Whoever allowed you to leave the ranks without permission, get back to the formation immediately."

Qi Yan paused, then ignored the warning and continued to approach quickly, rubbing his hands together as he said:

"Sir, our squad has been wiped out, and I cannot rejoin the team for the time being. Moreover, I have something important to report."

General Ursus could tell from Qi Yan's young voice that his disgust was almost undisguised.

"That's why I hate you bunch of green recruits the most. You have too many problems. You have to report intelligence up the chain of command. Who gave you the audacity to bother me? This is an overstepping of your bounds!"

"I discovered Qi Yan's weakness."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Qi Yan's lips twitched twice beneath his mask, he coughed lightly, and said in a solemn tone:

"This person is handsome, has an outstanding temperament, and his strength is as powerful as rumored. He is like a demon lord descended from heaven, truly a god among men!"

Ahem... I mean, his ability has a drawback, which is that his attack range is limited, and that's why I escaped with my life.

"Sir, look at him now. He's been blasted so badly by the artillery fire, he can only run away and can't fight back. Heh heh, bring on more artillery, don't hold back."

General Ursus was stunned by Qi Yan's words. Following Qi Yan's lead, he looked at the battlefield and found that, just as Qi Yan had said, the 'Qi Yan' was frantically fleeing on all fours under the bombardment of the artillery vanguard.

If it weren't for the blood-red thread wrapped around his wrist that always tugged at him at crucial moments, he would have been engulfed by artillery fire long ago.

That line of blood seemed to have its own consciousness, always able to accurately predict the location of artillery explosions, and even thoughtfully pulling its master back to the center of the battlefield when the master tried to escape.

"You're quite observant, aren't you!"

General Ursus seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory. With a wave of his hand, he ordered again, "Continue to increase firepower and annihilate Qi Yan in one fell swoop."

Individual strength is ultimately limited; tremble before the firepower of my Ursus Empire!

"Mighty, sir!"

Qi Yan chimed in at the opportune moment to flatter him.

General Ursus seemed extremely pleased, even turning a blind eye to Qi Yan's failure to return to the ranks.

The lieutenant's lips trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to obey his superior's orders.

But after passing on the order, he could no longer contain himself and spoke up to offer his advice:

"General, the Artillery Vanguard is a heavy drone with limited endurance. After eliminating Qi Yan, we will still have to face the Patriot and a large number of stubborn enemy troops. The remaining power reserves may not be enough to last until the end of the battle."

"Patriot? He's just an old man on his deathbed. If he were still in his prime, I would respect him." General Ursus snorted. "Unfortunately, he has now betrayed Ursus and become a stray dog. The only reason he's still alive is because Ursus is too lazy to bother with him. You really think he's someone important."

"General, you..."

"General, you're so handsome!"

Before the deputy general could finish speaking, Qi Yan immediately began to flatter him.

Amidst the constant praise, General Ursus gradually lost himself, unable to stop smiling.

"Who gave you permission to stay here?"

The lieutenant was so angry that his breathing became rapid. He glared at Qi Yan and scolded, "Get back to the ranks, or do you believe I'll punish you according to military law!"

Chapter 117 Qi Yan is Dead

Qi Yan shrank back in disapproval.

He realized that his plan to win favor had met its match.

"So that's how it is. I thought I was offering advice to the general, but it seems I was acting on my own initiative."

Qi Yan said in a wronged tone, "If the general thinks I am wrong, and with this officer by my side, then I will leave now, so as not to displease this officer."

The lieutenant felt goosebumps all over his body and almost couldn't resist kicking him.

But General Ursus seemed extremely pleased, and seeing that the two were about to quarrel over him, he felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

He coughed lightly, beginning to display his domineering aura:

"Stop arguing. This new recruit's advice is commendable. I think he's a talented person, so I'll keep him around for now."

The lieutenant's expression changed several times, indicating that the arrangement was inappropriate.

Faced with the threatening look in his superior's eyes, he dared not say anything more, but secretly made up his mind to report the matter to the Empire as soon as he returned.

General Ursus glanced coldly at his lieutenant, inwardly sneering.

This deputy general was not one of his original men, but rather someone the nobles had specially placed in before the campaign. Ostensibly, he was there to assist him in command, but in reality, he was there to gain prestige and monitor his every move.

Qi Yan looked left and right, and seeing that the two were only superficially friendly, he felt relieved.

The three men, each with their own ulterior motives, stood in a row, silent as they watched Qi Yan grow increasingly disheveled under the barrage of artillery fire.

But seeing Qi Yan being blown up and down, yet still surviving, he was saved by the bloodline every time at a critical moment.

The lieutenant's patience was gradually wearing thin.

"General, I don't think this stalemate can continue!"

Before the deputy general could speak, Qi Yan preemptively suggested, "Why don't we send the Ursus assault team into the artillery range to restrict Qi Yan's movements, trading wounds for wounds, and even lives for lives to kill him?"

The lieutenant was taken aback by Qi Yan's cold-blooded tactic, and his eyes immediately turned icy.

He glared at Qi Yan and questioned him:
