reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

In fact, they are also worried that some people might take advantage of such extreme weather to cause damage.

Should I order the soldiers to increase their vigilance?

However, the person sitting on the throne shook his head:

"No need. They already work hard enough on weekdays. In this kind of weather, they can rest for a while. Now, our plan is basically in place, and even if something unexpected happens, it won't change the inevitable fact."

"That's what Therese said confidently."

A rainstorm is nothing; it cannot shake the foundations of Lentinium.

The city walls here are impregnable, and the Sarkaz gathered here are of one mind. Nothing can stop the rise of the Sarkaz.

However, Therese felt that something was amiss, as if he had overlooked something.

However, as the chairman of the Military Commission, he had too many things to consider. With so many things to worry about, he really had to rack his brains to ensure that everything was running smoothly.

"Perhaps it's just an illusion..."

Unbeknownst to Theresis, some others quietly fell to the ground amidst the torrential rain and hail.

……

"W, we've arrived."

White Night, Logos, and Ascalon, three deep-sea hunters, along with a huge black shadow, quietly landed on the ground.

Only these people.

All we need are these people.

"I will change the fate of Lentinium."

Chapter Fifteen: W's Nemesis

(Exam week is approaching, and as someone who's been there, here's a tip: when things are going well, look to Song Hao; when things are going badly, look to Feng Kao; and in dire straits, look to Dr. Monkey.)

-------------------------------------

"How could such a massive object, with such mass, land so silently?" Logos looked at the airdrop pod that had landed alongside everyone else with some surprise.

Even though the object experienced a counter-force to slow it down as it approached the ground, the landing was still quite loud. Bai Ye did his best to minimize the vibration and noise of the airdrop pod's landing, ultimately achieving near-silence.

Although there is still some noise, hail is currently falling over Lentinium. The dense falling debris can mask such a large commotion, and even if Lentinium does have some monitoring mechanisms, they are probably already oblivious to it.

Strong winds, torrential rain, and hail can indeed conceal people's whereabouts.

"It's just some low-level tricks, but they're really effective." Bai Ye smiled and pointed to the outer shell of the airdrop pod.

Upon closer inspection, Logos's face lit up with a look of sudden realization. The spell Bai Ye cast on the airdrop pod's outer shell was indeed nothing compared to those sophisticated incantations; it was merely a buffer layer created using gas.

However, Logos quickly discovered Bai Ye's exquisite manipulation of gas. Although the idea was simple, it was just a way to absorb kinetic energy and release excess energy. However, in practice, not many people on this land could achieve such a level of precision.

With the ability to manipulate the weather on a large scale and achieve perfection in the details, White Night quickly gained the approval of Logos, the master of sorcery.

……

"So, what exactly is this big guy? Is it a Christmas present?" After the thick fog that White Night had prepared as a disguise before landing dissipated, W could also see the huge outline in the heavy rain. It was a massive black shadow.

The next moment, the hatch popped open, and out emerged a giant Dreadnought... no, a giant daddy wearing giant power armor.

At this moment, the drop pod transformed into Big Daddy's armory, with his custom-made shield and halberd hanging inside. Actually, this type of drop pod didn't have a prototype on Terra; it was created by White Night with Luna's assistance, after referencing Earth's technology.

This device was originally designed for airdropping elite troops from Earth orbit and as an auxiliary vehicle for boarding maneuvers in space combat. Older models had grappling hooks added to the bottom for gripping and securing; later versions added thermal weapon nozzles to the bottom of the drop pod, allowing it to melt through the ship's external armor and penetrate the interior.

In fact, from its research and development to its production, this thing never had any practical use. It was originally intended for World War IV, a war that would spread into outer space. However, Luna's appearance ended the war that nearly destroyed human civilization, so this thing never played any real role.

However, in Terra, White Night used its technology to assist in power armor. For example, the power armor that was airdropped to Melantha in Lungmen last time was actually a simplified version of the airdrop pod.

This time, however, a larger version was used to transport Big Daddy, as only this size could accommodate the enormous Wendigo.

"Wow...cool!" W's eyes lit up when he saw the power armor.

But soon, she felt a chill on her neck and quickly pulled it back. A sharp gaze was fixed on her.

The man exuded a chilling aura, an aura and killing intent that W was very familiar with—no, she was all too familiar with… She quickly realized who it was.

“W, long time no see. I heard you wanted to infiltrate Rhodes Island’s archives?” Ascalon squinted at W.

……

"Bai Ye, why did you bring her along..."

W frowned in slight distress. This fearless guy still had his natural enemies.

If anyone could control W, it would undoubtedly be her former boss and leader, Ascalon. As for Theresa, who used gentle persuasion to influence W, she's a completely different story. Faced with this elusive Sarkaz assassin who could easily take her head, W didn't even dare to verbally provoke her too much, fearing a lesson from Ascalon.

This crazy girl, probably only Ascalon can control her in the entire Rhodes Island.

Well, W isn't even afraid of Kal'tsit, and even taught White Night to call her an old woman.

However, W is not as afraid of Ascalon now, not because she has become stronger, but mainly because W is no longer in Babel or Rhodes Island. She no longer belongs to that group. More importantly, she has a new backer.

"Boss Baiye, save me!"

W shamelessly hid behind Bai Ye.

She shrank behind Bai Ye, using him to block Ascalon's cold gaze.

"Heh." Ascalon sneered and said no more.

Indeed, W is now under Bai Ye's command, and out of respect for Bai Ye, she has let him go.

"Come inside with me first... it's too cold outside."

W led everyone into the warehouse and then opened the entrance to the underground safe house.

"This place is well-managed..." Bai Ye looked at the location of the safe house, but found it a bit strange. "The location of this safe house is quite deep."

"Yes, it's to protect against bombardment from the city's cannons." W nodded.

"Those Sarkaz kidnapped the wives and daughters of the city's garrison, forcing them to serve the military council. With the help of engineers, they adjusted the city's cannons so that those big guys could aim at the city... It took the Sarkaz a month just to adjust their orientation."

W revealed shocking information.

Logos sighed softly:

"Lentinium's defensive walls were built nearly seventy years ago. I never imagined that the defensive cannons on the walls were also targeting areas inside the city..."

Bai Ye was not surprised by this.

After all, having occupied this city for so long, the Sarkaz certainly wouldn't give up their hold on it.

The siege cannons are incredibly powerful; even using only 10% of their firepower, the secondary guns can easily melt down ordinary structures. The main guns, on the other hand, can easily penetrate the armor of any high-speed warship.

However, Bai Ye clearly didn't need to deal with that thing; he needed other intelligence. After all, the key to victory or defeat was still the "Fragment Tower."

“I need to know the specific distribution of Sarkaz’s military forces,” Bai Ye said, looking at the map of Lentinium.

Chapter Sixteen: Hidden Agents

(In 1950, Emperor MacArthur launched the "Christmas Offensive," vowing to end the war before Christmas.)

-------------------------------------

"The Sarkaz army?" W bit his finger, looking at the projection map of Lontinim that White Night had opened.

Due to limited intelligence, White Night initially only projected a portion of the city's surface structure. Even Kal'tsit, or her secret messenger in Londinium, was unable to uncover Londinium's underground structure.

Bai Ye had initially thought that Dr. Kal'tsit could produce the engineering blueprints for the infrastructure of Lontinim. However, when he made this request, he only received a disdainful look from the old woman.

Even Dr. Kal'tsit couldn't produce this thing.

Londinium was once the economic center of Terra, but only those who have seen the city in person can truly appreciate that it is also an impregnable fortress that will never fall.

The drainage systems of most mobile cities are vulnerable to external breaches, but the engineers who built Londinium even exploited this weakness. They constructed automated industrial production lines within the underground infrastructure.

In other words, the method that Rhodes Island had previously planned and simulated—to launch a surprise attack on the core city of Chernobog by exploiting weaknesses in its industrial infrastructure—would not work when dealing with Londinium.

During Londinium's heyday, these machines operated day and night, producing various industrial goods that were shipped to Londinium and throughout the land; and in times of war, these production lines continuously supplied weapons and ammunition to the city's defensive systems built on high walls.

Such a meticulously designed underground structure is so precise that it is impossible to find a single opening on the engineering drawings that would allow for a clandestine entry from the outside.

Therefore, the structure of the city has always been a secret to outsiders. Even after the expulsion of Drak, the coup of 1072, the rebellion of the Duke of Stafford in 1094, and the Sarkaz invasion, all kinds of blueprints and important hidden information about Londinium have been lost.

In other words, even the Sarkaz, who had effectively taken control of the city of Londinium, were unaware of its secrets. In a way, this was also the city's silent resistance against the invaders.

Neither it nor its people will easily submit.

……

"Therefore, I can only mark a portion of Theresis's armed forces, including some important members of the royal court, but I really have no way to identify the main mercenary force that has not yet assembled, as well as the army hidden underground or in other difficult-to-detect structures."

W shrugged as he spoke.

She paused, then smiled and said:

"Sometimes I really wish I could blow those walls up with a bomb and then take a good look at where these guys are."

Bai Ye rolled his eyes. If it were that easy to break open, Lontinim would have been captured long ago.

but……

"There are still ways."

Bai Ye took out boxes of goods from his inventory. The boxes were made of lightweight metal and appeared to be full of items.

Everyone present was an acquaintance of Bai Ye, so he stopped hiding his abilities and took everything out in front of everyone.

The deep-sea hunters were already used to it, and Ascalon had no interest in understanding this magical ability. Logos, on the other hand, was carefully observing how White Night took out the items, seemingly studying this special spell.

"W, can you get in touch with Kal'tsit's informant? I need her help with something." Bai Ye looked at W.

Although he obtained the relevant key from Kal'tsit, since W had already contacted the messenger before, using an acquaintance would definitely be more convenient. This would save Bai Ye the time and effort of searching for and verifying the identity.

However, W looked troubled.

“Oh, do…” Bai Ye narrowed his eyes.

“My contact with her has been severed. What the Sarkaz have been doing all along is arresting the citizens of Lontinim and forcing them to work as slave laborers in factories to manufacture weapons for the Sarkaz army,” W told Bai Ye, sharing the information he had gathered.

"The messenger has also disappeared. I think she has most likely been arrested and forced to work like the other citizens."

"It was difficult to get in touch with her, and my people might be exposed. That mole planted in the Sarkaz army was very important; it was one of the few hidden agents that had infiltrated. So I haven't contacted her since."

W didn't bring many Sarkaz mercenaries; most remained in Colombia to mislead others. Those who came to Londinium were almost all veterans, each one invaluable.

"There's no need to use undercover agents; I'll go there myself. Tell me the location."

Bai Ye stretched.

He wasn't in a hurry. If he knew the location, he was confident he could bring the person out from anywhere, even under Theresis's nose.

"The possible location in the Sadien district has been marked, but I'm not sure which one it is exactly." W marked the location on the incomplete map projected by White Night.

"Hmm, I understand." Bai Ye glanced at the map and memorized all the information.

'If you had been there in the Tower of Babel, perhaps she wouldn't have...' W glanced at Bai Ye, and felt a similar sentiment to Ascalon.

"Oh, by the way, since we were able to leave spies in Londinium, the Sarkaz could probably do something similar," Bai Ye added as a final reminder.

“Among the Sarkaz royal courts, there is a court ruler with extremely strong infiltration capabilities, known as the Shapeshifter,” Logos said. “As a collective life form, the entire race shares the same consciousness, or rather, the many individuals of the Shapeshifter race are multiple carriers of its single thought.”

"Somewhat similar to Hai Si?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, more or less, but they claim to have a more perfect and unified cluster consciousness than Haisi." Logos confirmed Bai Ye's question.

Their conversation naturally attracted the attention of the deep-sea hunters nearby.

"They can transform?" Judging from their names, one can guess the abilities of this ruler of the royal court.

Logos serves as a reminder.

“Mimicry. After mimicking, you can completely copy the other person’s thoughts and memories. Bai Ye, you have to be careful. It’s possible that the ‘acquaintances’ you encounter are no longer the original people.”

"I understand." Bai Ye knew very well that the Sarkaz's strength wasn't just in their stats; they also possessed various bizarre and unpredictable abilities. Although wind abilities were equally versatile, one had to be even more careful when fighting them.

Chapter Seventeen: An Old Friend

Bai Ye put on her trench coat and walked out of the cake shop.

At that moment, he looked like a respectable Victorian.
