Who are you calling a stable boy?!

"Have you confessed everything?"

Seeing that Froststar had said a few more words to the snow monsters and then walked towards him, Zheng Jing asked with a smile.

"They're not little kids anymore, there's not that much to tell them."

"Then, shall we go?"

"Let's go."

Zheng Jing reached out and picked Shuangxing up in his arms.

Shuangxing reached out and half-wrapped her arms around Zheng Jing's neck.

"Brother Zheng! I'm entrusting my eldest sister to you!"

The older yeti suddenly shouted.

Froststar turned her head and stared at it.

Zheng Jing grinned at him, then leaped up, stepping on golden clouds, carrying Frost Star, and flew towards the central area.

The central area is the only way to the core city command tower and energy zone. Therefore, as long as the Reunion Movement has not given up on using the restarted core city, it will never give up on the armed defense of the central area.

Currently, the only armed forces qualified to guard the central area as the elite of the Reunion Movement are the Sarkaz mercenaries and the Infected guerrillas.

The idea behind this part of Kal'tsit's revised plan is quite simple.

She asked Zheng Jing to take Shuangxing ahead of her.

If the central area is guarded by Sarkaz mercenaries, Zheng Jing should take them out directly.

If the central area is guarded by infected guerrillas, then let Frostnova go and persuade them to surrender.

In either case, they were able to successfully dismantle the Reunion Movement's defensive forces deployed in the central area.

After that, Rhodes Island can advance unimpeded and storm the command tower and energy zone in one fell swoop.

Along the way, Rhodes Island, which is following up, can also search for Chen Huijie's whereabouts.

Moreover, this plan can also prevent a situation where Talulah, seeing that the situation is hopeless, chooses to abandon the core city and even the remnants of the Reunion Movement and flee alone. Zheng Jing, who is the first to come into contact with the Sarkaz mercenaries or the infected guerrillas, might be able to capture her in time.

"...There's always a sense of relief that all the difficult problems can be solved."

Gazing at the receding golden streak in the sky, the doctor couldn't help but sigh.

"You'd better not get used to this, Doctor."

Kal'tsit turned to look at the Doctor: "Zheng Jing is not an operator of Rhodes Island. His appearance was completely unexpected and should not be regarded as normal."

"Um......"

The doctor touched his mask.

"Isn't it possible to make this the norm?"

"This idea is dangerous."

"He can even cure Oripathy!"

"...This idea is dangerous."

Zheng Jing was unaware of the Doctor's desire to turn story-limited, numerically-based characters into current-season gacha characters.

He was talking to Frostnova in his arms about the leader of the Infected guerrillas, the ancient Wendigo, Bodrokastie.

"I've heard rumors about that old man. Do you think you can convince him?"

Which aspect are you referring to?

"Uh, join Rhodes Island with you?"

"...I'm not sure about that."

"So, what aspect are you confident about?"

"Persuade him to stop the war."

"Froststar said softly."

"He may, no, he must have already discovered Talulah's problem."

Chapter 279: If you're not hot-blooded, are you even a young person?

With Zheng Jing's flying speed, he had already entered the central area of ​​the core city while carrying Froststar in just a few words.

Then came the spells and arrows that burst forth from the ground.

Faced with dense ground fire, Zheng Jing flipped in the air, spotted the area with the largest number of defenders, and charged down from the clouds.

"Cease fire! Cease fire!"

Among the heavily armored, wielding, and burly guards, someone shouted.

"Froststar? What happened to you—"

At the same time, some people looked at Shuangxing in Zheng Jing's arms and exclaimed in surprise.

Without a doubt, these people were members of the guerrilla group led by that Bozokast.

And among the guerrillas, who wouldn't recognize the Patriot's daughter, the leader of the Yeti Squad, Frostnova?

However, none of them could understand why Froststar would be here.

According to Talulah, the Kingslayer, Faust, Mephisto, Frostnova, and their respective forces are still trapped in Lungmen, awaiting aid.

That is why Talulah took the risk of separating the core city and heading straight for Lungmen.

But Froststar appeared here at this very moment.

It was brought here by a stranger who could fly.

"I need to see Bozokasti, where is he?"

As soon as Zheng Jing put her down and her feet touched the ground, Shuangxing asked the guerrillas in front of her.

"I'll contact them for you right away."

Behind several guards, a communications officer carrying heavy equipment responded.

With the core city's communication system unusable, the guerrillas had to resort to another method to maintain internal communication.

"Froststar, what's going on? How did you get here?"

Among the guards, the burly man who had initially shouted for a ceasefire looked at Frostnova and asked, "And who is this person?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but you can think of it as us safely withdrawing from Lungmen. The rest of the team is still in the outer area, while I went ahead."

As for him...

Froststar looked at Zheng Jing.

"...He's the one who rescued us from Longmen, that's all you need to know."

Upon hearing this, the guerrillas looked at Zheng Jing differently.

"The captain wants you to go to the temporary command post to see him."

At this moment, the communications officer spoke up.

"Row."

Following a scout sent out by the squad, Froststar and Zheng Jing soon met the guerrilla leader, Patriot Bojokastie, who was stationed in the center of the central area.

"You, return to the team."

"Yes!"

After dismissing the guerrillas who had brought him in, Old Wendigo, whose horns almost touched the ceiling as he stood up, looked at Frostnova in the dimly lit room.

"I'm back."

"They all came back alive."

Froststar replied, "Where is Talulah? Is she still in the core city?"

"who is he?"

Old Wendigo turned his head and looked at Zheng Jing.

"Is this the time to ask that? While we're talking here, Talulah might already be preparing to flee. Or do you have a way to get this core city moving again?"

"Talk to him first."

"......Row."

Frostnova nudged Zheng Jing with her elbow: "He is Zheng Jing, the savior of me and my brothers and sisters. We have already left the Reunion Movement and officially joined Rhodes Island. Is that enough? Now, immediately have everyone stationed here assemble and storm the Command Tower and the Energy Zone. What we really need to defeat right now is Talulah!"

"..."

"What are you still thinking about? Talulah betrayed us, betrayed the Reunion Movement. You should have realized that by now."

"Rhodes Island, it's already here?"

"Yes, them—our goal is also Talulah, we have no reason to be hostile to each other."

"Core City, halt. Rhodes Island, what's going on?"

Unlike the outermost areas, the central area was not a place where the guerrillas stationed there could not see Zheng Jing forcing the city to a halt.

In addition, the overall communication system was paralyzed, so even at that time, the guerrillas could not learn the truth from the reconnaissance troops who witnessed Zheng Jing's actions.

Therefore, the guerrillas were completely unaware of what had happened to the core city.

It was only because Bojokastie was good at managing his troops that he was able to get the various guerrilla units back to their posts in such a short time, instead of leaving them disorganized and disoriented like the loosely organized members of the Reunion Movement.

"...I guess so."

After hearing Frostnova's answer, old Wendigo fell silent again.

Before Froststar could finish urging him again, he finally spoke.

"You believe in Rhodes Island."

"...At least, I can see hope in them."

"Your body?"

"It's cured. Was it really that obvious before?"

Rhodes Island?

"......no."

Froststar turned her head towards Zheng Jing's direction: "It's him."

Old Wendigo gazed at Zheng Jing for a moment, then lowered his head.

"Thank you."

"Oh, old man, there's no need to be so polite."

Zheng Jing waved his hand.

"You, stay here."

With that, old Wendigo picked up his big gun and shield and headed outside.

What do you want to do?

Froststar keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Resolved, Rhodes Island."

"--What?"

Frostnova raised her voice: "You actually still believe in Talulah?"

"Do not."

"Then why?!"

"I don't believe it, Rhodes Island."

Old Wendigo's hoarse words were spoken slowly and deliberately, yet they sounded as if he were striking the frozen earth of the North Plain with swords and spears, his voice resounding and powerful.

"Talulah, I'll kill her. Rhodes Island, leave. I will not let Reunion perish because of internal strife."

"...You intend to use Rhodes Island's name to assassinate Talulah?"
