Arknights? Colonization Ark!

The energy that can spread over dozens of kilometers is not a small amount. The amount of source stones needed may be huge, and it is not yet known whether the energy of the inner guards will be effective.

If it were him, he would probably turn these guards into specimens.

Theresa, who was standing by, felt that the trip to Ursus was not in vain. Less than a day after arriving, she saw the Ursus army being pinned to the ground and beaten up by the thighs she had just tied. She was ready to roll up her sleeves and fight with the internal guards.

If a battle of this magnitude were to spread, the eyes of the people all over the world would probably shift away from Kazdel. Then, she would be able to rebuild Kazdel in the shortest possible time.

This battle is over

Iberia has reinforcements - win

Kazdale has a chance to rebuild - win

Longmen does not have to worry about being spied on by Ursus - win

In short, everyone wins, only Ursus loses.

"Today really opened my eyes. I thought there would be areas where I needed help."

"You know what? Maybe there really is someone who needs your help. Those prisoners of war may need your help."

Only a handful of the hundreds of thousands of Ursus soldiers were able to escape, because there were simply not enough vehicles to take them back to the city, and the vast majority of them would become prisoners of war.

However, their number is too large, and before the original mark of Ursus on their bodies is worn off, they are a group of extremely uncontrollable and unstable elements. If he is in charge, more than half of these people may lose their lives due to non-combat casualties within a month.

Therefore, Zhang Miao needs a place where he can detain them to the greatest extent possible, conduct re-education, and then allow them to return here.

Kazdel is a very good place. It is big enough, has a lot of things to do, and has enough Theresa people.

Moreover, the emergence of a large number of Ursus prisoners of war will push Theresa's prestige to a peak again, which will be conducive to the integration of Kazdel.

"It's up to you. After all, Kazdel still owes you a large loan, doesn't he?"

The reconstruction of Kazdel required a large number of manpower, so how could Theresa be dissatisfied with a group of unpaid workers?

While the two were talking, the Inner Guard was accurately cut out of the ice by Tallulah using fire, and then thrown into a large barrel filled with Originium solution by the Defender.

As for whether the internal guards will die, there is probably no need to consider that. After all, these people don’t even need to eat, and they probably won’t take off their clothes to take a bath. To be precise, it is questionable whether they are human or ghosts under the restraints.

The battle has been won completely so far. All that remains to be done is to capture the prisoners and return to the capital!

Speaking of returning home...

Zhang Miao was startled, as if he had forgotten something extremely important.

He quickly pulled Yelena beside him and asked

"Where is our kitchen team?"

No one knows where to eat better than her.

"Why are you asking this? Are you hungry too?"

"No, I just felt that if I didn't prepare something to take back, I might be hung on the city gate tower."

Chapter 123: Who is the head of the family?

How is glutinous rice cake made?

I forgot all the tutorials I watched before when I started to do it.

Zhang Miao looked at the pile of ingredients in front of him with annoyance. The cook next to him was also from Ursus, and he knew how to make a shitty sticky rice cake.

He asked the cook who was standing by.

"Is there any sticky rice?"

The Ursus people don't eat glutinous rice, so how could they prepare that? The cook could only shake his head.

Trouble....

Zhang Miao was in a dilemma. He had to do it. Lexington was more troublesome than Ursus. Especially since he hadn't met her before he went back and she ran away with Tallulah. Now he was going back empty-handed and it would definitely cause big trouble...

Egg cake should be OK too, right? Don’t they all look pretty much the same?

Theresa saw Zhang Miao frantically handling the ingredients, and in just a few minutes he had turned the mobile food truck into a mess.

I feel a little dazed, and the smile on my face is a little hard to hold

"What is he doing? A celebration party?"

She didn't know, but Yelena knew it very well. She reached out and grabbed Theresa's hand and dragged her out.

"hurry up!"

"Eh?"

After Theresa was forcibly dragged away, Tallulah hesitated for a moment, but still ran after her. They still had to clean up the aftermath of the battlefield and count the prisoners and losses.

To some extent, Zhang Miao can be said to have been spoiled. From childhood to adulthood, he had everything provided for him. If he wanted to eat something, he just had to shout and it would be served to the table. He had never cooked before and had never learned how to cook. Even when he ran away, he only ate soldier rations, which was at most a pot of stew, which was never too bad.

Even if you give him a recipe, he can still burn the food by following it.

"Who the hell knows what a little is? What is the right amount? To me, salt and sugar look similar!"

No one with a sense of taste in the world can eat what he cooks.

Except Lexington.

.....

"Captain...what...is this?"

Lexington looked at the yellow bread the size of a basin. Even she felt a little embarrassed. She covered her face as if she was afraid of embarrassment.

But the person in front of her seemed to have no sense of self-awareness

"This is the cake I made for you. How about it? Isn't it unique?"

"Hey, Captain, you don't have to force it."

As if she had accepted her fate, Lexington sighed, tore off a small piece of bread and put it in her mouth. She had to eat it no matter how bad it tasted. If she didn't eat it, even if the captain didn't say anything, he would probably feel disappointed in his heart.

Ok?

It didn’t seem to be very unpalatable, at least it was cooked, although there was a bit too much sugar, but it was okay, this was not the standard that a captain should have.

"How about it?

Zhang Miao was a little impatient to stop at Lexington. After failing more than a dozen times, he finally accepted his fate and followed the advice of the cook beside him.

Although the cook doesn’t know how to make egg cake or glutinous rice cake, he still knows how to make the most basic chiffon cake. The two should be similar.

Probably about the same...

So Zhang Miao followed his instructions and baked a big loaf of bread.

Lexington smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked

"Captain, is this the glutinous rice cake you learned to make at Longmen? It looks really unique."

Ah this....

Zhang Miao was a little embarrassed when his pain point was touched

"Have you tasted it yourself, Captain?"

Lexington asked another question, which struck Zhang Miao's heart again.

He had never tasted it, but this time it didn't collapse and looked good, so he brought it back to take credit.

Is it really unpalatable?

He still returned honestly

"without....."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Miao saw Lexington tear off another piece of bread and put it in his mouth.

? Isn’t it very unpalatable?

He was just about to taste his own cooking, but before he could do anything, he saw Lexington reaching out to him with his arms outstretched. Before he could ask any questions, his mouth was tightly blocked.

...

When I came to my senses, it was already daybreak.

When I stood up a little, I saw the messy room in a daze.

What have I done?

Zhang Miao, who had a splitting headache, wanted to rub his eyes, only to find that the left half of his body was still being pressed down.

"Lexington..."

The person who had been burying his head in his chest finally moved.

Raise your head and rest your chin on his chest

That pretty face that I never get tired of looking at looks even more charming under the cover of messy flaxen hair. She asked with a sly smile.

"What's the matter, my captain?"

"You...you didn't do this on purpose."

Unfortunately, his questioning not only did not affect Lexington at all, but instead made her become more aggressive. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her fingers on the other half of Zhang Miao's chest, making him feel itchy.

"What's wrong, Captain? Do you think the cake you made is not delicious?"

What does it have to do with cake?

But eating by yourself feels different from being fed by someone.

"Stay still."

Poor Zhang Miao was played around by Lexington.

"I just think it's not a good idea to not do any work right after I get back."

I'm afraid Tallulah and the others are still busy cleaning up the mess of this war.

After what happened with Hai Si, the previous plan of taking it slow was definitely not going to work, and we had to speed up and gather enough strength.

Teresis and Iberia could hold out for a while, but they couldn't hold out forever.

But Lexington seemed a little dissatisfied with him thinking about business at this time, and his fingers that were still spinning were clenched into a fist and hit him.

Zhang Miao grimaced in pain. It was no joke to say that Lexington's body was strong enough to carry a tripod.

"So, Captain, why do you push yourself so hard? If it wasn't for Theresa who brought you back, would you still plan to go to Iberia?"

“…”

In fact, Zhang Miao really had this plan. After all, Hai Si had become his top concern now. However, he really couldn't feel at ease after going to take a look at him.

If possible, he would like to hang up the Agor people and beat them up. There is no need to do such a thing.

"What do you think of Tallulah's performance this time?"

....Why did you bring the topic back to Tallulah?

"Very good, I didn't expect she could do so well."

If it was the locals of Terra who were fighting, they would probably do the same thing as usual, directly forming an infantry formation and charging, not treating the 20,000 people as human beings at all, sending them to their deaths, and creating opportunities for the Punishers to assault the high-speed battleships under the intensive artillery fire of the high-speed battleships.

However, she chose to combine the battlefield terrain and formulate mountain defense operations, using the mountains as cover, directly destroying all the naval guns on the high-speed warships. Otherwise, it would be impossible to destroy all the large-caliber naval guns in a short period of time with only missiles and frontal bombing.

In a large-scale bombing, the Punishers will definitely suffer losses, especially the last few War Warlocks. Once they are slowed down by the group charge, at least half of them will be killed or injured in that round of bombing.

Chapter 124: Happiness is all yours

This is different from Zhang Miao's previous concept of putting human life above everything else and spending a lot of money on equipment just to give soldiers a better chance of survival.

In Terra's conventional thinking, anyone on the battlefield is a consumable.

No matter whether you are the inner guard, the imperial guard, the steam knight or the gun rider, no one can be immortal.

This is not to say that sacrifices are not allowed, but that they do not take human life seriously. They only regard it as a bargaining chip. As long as there is no loss, they can put all the chips on it, even if there are better options.

But Tallulah clearly went beyond this ideological limitation and built tunnel fortifications on a large scale along the entire line. The thickness of the tunnel top was at least thirty meters, and the thickness of the tunnel entrance was more than twenty meters. With this level of protection, even the Ursus naval guns could not shake it, and they could only send soldiers in continuously to fight a war of attrition.

Even the war sorcerer who was used as the ultimate killer returned empty-handed.

By using mountains to divide the battlefield, the main force was basically spared zero losses, and even the casualties among prisoners of war were kept below 30%.
