Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"What right do you have to propose such tactics? What right do you have to send your soldiers to their deaths? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Sir, now is not the time for sentimentality. Using the lives of our soldiers to exchange for one of the enemy's top experts is definitely a win-win situation."

Qi Yan knew that this wasn't enough, so he directly unleashed his trump card:

“Now all countries know about the Dragon Gate incident. The Yan Kingdom’s Surveillance Department suffered a great defeat at Qi Yan’s hands, and the Yan Kingdom has lost all face. If Qi Yan is killed by our Ursus at this time, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face for the Yan Kingdom?”

This opportunity to showcase the might of Ursus is right before our eyes; if we miss it, we'll regret it so much we'll slap ourselves!

"...What you said does seem to make some sense."

The deputy general's attitude suddenly reversed.

He came here to gain prestige; if he could really kill Qi Yan in Qiecheng, it would be a great achievement.

However, he was no pushover either!

The lieutenant, with sharp eyes, looked at Qi Yan and said:

"Your suggestion is excellent. To prove your loyalty to Ursus, you will lead the attack this time."

Excitement welled up in Qi Yan's eyes.

"Such a good thing... I mean, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

He agreed so readily that even the deputy general was caught off guard.

General Ursus, seeing that the two had finally united, didn't say anything more.

Soon, a fully armed commando team arrived in front of Qi Yan.

Qi Yan was too lazy to give this group of dying men a pre-battle speech, and shouted:

He then led the charge into the battlefield.

The commando members were shocked by this crazy move, and after they came to their senses, they quickly followed.

In the center of the battlefield, Qi Yan saw Qi Yan charging towards him, and it was as if enemies were meeting again and their eyes were filled with hatred.

"You bastard, die!"

'Qi Yan' yelled and rammed into Qi Yan's chest.

Qi Yan lay on his back, and the bloodline on his wrist dragged him over him, moving with the speed of a blur, and crashed directly into the assault team that was rushing to the rear.

Artillery fire followed in quick succession.

The flames instantly engulfed everyone's figures.

General Ursus and his deputy were greatly encouraged.

Qi Yan is finally dead!

"That damn recruit is finally dead!"

General Ursus turned to look at his lieutenant, whose movements were slightly stiff as he turned to look to the side.

In the center of the battlefield, the artillery fire vanguard stopped searching for the enemy, deliberately lowered its altitude, and stirred up a gust of wind to extinguish the dust and flames, revealing the situation on the battlefield.

A large number of unrecognizable corpses lay scattered on the ground. In the center of the explosion, fragments of Qi Yan's clothes hung among the rubble, leaving only large patches of blood and a charred remains.

Seeing this, General Ursus stepped forward with confidence, his lieutenant following behind, but his attention was constantly searching for another corpse.

Then he saw a figure, utterly loathed, struggling to crawl out of the ruins.

"Cough cough... How am I still alive?"

Qi Yan looked completely innocent and naive.

Beside Qi Yan, another commando member, completely covered in protective gear, got up and said in a muffled voice:

"It was my Originium Arts that saved you in the process, so thank me."

"Brothers!"

Qi Yan hugged the other person tightly.

The deputy general's forehead veins bulged, and he almost couldn't resist drawing his military knife from his waist and finishing off those two things.

General Ursus paid no attention to the infighting among his subordinates. At this moment, he was overjoyed to use his terminal to photograph the remains of 'Qi Yan' as evidence to claim credit when he returned to Ursus.

After doing all this, General Ursus felt a surge of pride, as if he could already see his bright and limitless future.

"Assemble! Continue the advance! Today, I will first kill Qi Yan, then Patriot, and in one fell swoop, display our military might in Ursus!"

Under General Ursus's leadership, the army group's morale soared, and they advanced once more.

Qi Yan supported the limping Ji Jing and silently followed behind General Ursus and his deputy.

This time, no one said anything to him.

Qi Yan's act of charging headlong into the center of the battlefield had already silently labeled him a war maniac.

As the troops advanced, a well-prepared force soon came into view of the army group.

Compared to the size of an army group, the number of enemy troops was like comparing a three-year-old child to an adult—they were not even in the same league.

Even so, the team did not back down.

Patriot's imposing figure stood at the very front of the procession.

He held neither shield nor spear, and his armor was visibly tattered, yet he stood before his troops, his crimson eyes unwavering, his aura calm yet brimming with a ferocious killing intent.

"Patriots, what a sorry sight."

General Ursus looked at the old man before him, his contempt growing even stronger.

Qi Yan released his grip on Ji Jing's hand and stepped forward to ask for instructions:

"General, let me challenge you to battle!"

General Ursus readily agreed.

Qi Yan stepped forward two steps, standing naturally in front of the deputy general, took a deep breath, and roared:

"Listen up, you guys over there! Qi Yan is dead. You are all caged beasts. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!"

Qi Yan's voice echoed across the battlefield.

Patriot and the team behind him both had somewhat strange expressions.

They naturally recognized Qi Yan's voice.

Chapter 118 I beat myself

The guerrilla and Rhodes Island forces made no move, only looking at the army group with a hint of pity.

"This is a rare opportunity."

Patriot muttered to himself as he bent down and picked up a piece of building debris from the ground.

In his hand, the fragment was no bigger than a palm, but in reality, it was as big as half a person.

Without the slightest hesitation, Patriot mustered all his strength and swung the fragment at Qi Yan.

The debris hurtled towards the army group with a whistling sound.

Qi Yan was so frightened that he turned his head and fell backward.

The deputy general behind him changed his expression drastically. He realized that Qi Yan's body was blocking his right side, so he tried to dodge to the left.

As luck would have it, the figure from Extreme Realm seemed to be so frightened that it blocked the way.

Building debris whizzed past.

From then on, this land lost another vibrant life.

Qi Yan got up from the ground and muttered:

"With such a low monthly salary, why are you working so hard?"

Extreme's tone was respectful, his voice trembling as he shouted:

"Sir, what a real man! He took a hit from the Patriot and didn't utter a sound!"

"Stop talking nonsense and fight back!"

General Ursus was somewhat exasperated.

Before the battle even began, his lieutenant was killed. Even though he disliked the other party, he felt like he was being slapped in the face.

Qi Yan immediately composed himself and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"The general has ordered a full-scale attack, divided into three groups: the main force will launch a strong assault, while the other two will flank from both sides to cut off the enemy's retreat!"

General Ursus was stunned.

He only said one sentence in retaliation, and the other half was a swear word. How did Qi Yan manage to interpret so many details?

The situation didn't give him time to be confused, because Qi Yan had been following General Ursus closely, and the army groups subconsciously trusted Qi Yan's command.

The massive army group spread out to both sides, charging towards Patriots and his men like a trident.

Qi Yan trotted over to General Ursus's side and, seeking credit, said:

"General, didn't I command well?"

Extreme also moved closer, standing on the other side of General Ursus, and said, seeking credit:

"I just blocked the deputy general's retreat and killed him. My reaction was quick enough, wasn't it!"

General Ursus: ?

"What are you talking about... uh!"

Before General Ursus could finish his exclamation, Qi Yan's bloodline pierced his body.

Qi Yan slowly pulled down her mask, revealing a kind and friendly smile to him:

"General, don't panic. I won't kill you immediately. You need to stay alive to stabilize morale. Also, I'd like to borrow your communicator."

General Ursus's eyes widened as he tried to speak, but Qi Yan's bloodline was raging within him, already destroying his bodily functions.

He is alive now only because of the strong physical condition of the Ursus people.

Such an injury would make Kal'tsit shake her head in disbelief, and Warfarin would immediately reach for a straw to drink from a living blood bag.

On the other side, Exusiai lightly touched the communicator on General Ursus's ear with his finger, activating Originium Arts and easily controlling it.

"Qi Yan, I've got control of the communicator. Now, when you speak, your voice will automatically be processed to sound like this person's." Extreme's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Command on both sides is now in your hands! This is like me fighting myself!"

"Madam, why are you here?"

Wei Yanwu looked at Wen Yue, who stood gracefully in front of him, and spoke softly.

"You can't hide it from me." Wen Yue's tone was somewhat cold.

Wei Yanwu's expression was stiff, and his eyes kept darting around, but his tone remained gentle:

"I never intended to hide it from you; I know you are the one who understands me best."

"Take me with you."

"I've found you a completely safe place. You can live peacefully there, without any..."

"You're going to your death, while I'm left to live on alone?!"

Wen Yue gritted her teeth, her demeanor no longer as gentle as before, but instead becoming very assertive.

She walked step by step to Wei Yanwu, tilting her head back to force him to look directly into her eyes:

"You secretly assembled the Black Cloak Shadow Guards, you wanted to go to the core city, you still lied to Rhodes Island, and you're going to handle this yourself!"

Wei Yanwu pursed his lips, then suddenly reached out and pulled Wen Yue into his arms.

His voice trembled slightly as he whispered:

"I cannot watch Huijie and Talulah follow in my footsteps. This should not be their fate. I will resolve the matter in the core city and then remain there forever, leaving no opportunity for anyone to seize any leverage against me."

Someone will take over Lungmen afterward, and this matter will end there.

"Are you going to kill Xiaota?" Wen Yue gripped Wei Yanwu's clothes tightly.

Wei Yanwu was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, Talulah is already dead."

I know Koschke. I defeated him once. I know him inside and out. Talulah and him... they're so alike, almost like they're not heirs, but the same person.
