Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Bozhukas didn't make a move from beginning to end. It was all the shield guards who launched the attack. He only needed to walk forward and the enemy would be defeated without a fight.

No one dared to stand in front of the "patriots".

Soon they pushed out the Originium Cannon from the warehouse, trying to rely on this weapon to give them a little sense of security.

As a result, before he could fire a single shot, Bozhukas used his halberd to pin him and his gun to the wall.

Many soldiers also tried to gather together under the leadership of their superiors to defend against the attacks of the shield guards.

But it doesn't make sense.

This is not like the outside world. The limited space is not only their advantage in blocking the shield guards, but also their death warrant.

A group of soldiers carrying sandbags and wooden boxes built fortifications at the bend of the passage, and brought in crossbows and even a lot of Originium explosives. If the shield guards forced an attack from here, they would soon suffer casualties.

Boom...boom...boom...

It was the sound of metal hitting the wall.

After many twists and turns, a metal round-headed cylinder finally flew in front of them.

Even with the cruising capability, it is still difficult to turn some big bends.

Woo…boom!!!

A violent explosion came from the intersection ahead, followed by a strong gust of wind.

The first explosion of the thermobaric grenade sprayed a large amount of dust all around, and the second explosion one thousandth of a second later ignited it all, consuming all the oxygen in range.

The temperature at the center of the explosion is three thousand degrees, which is the nightmare of all carbon-based creatures. People there will be directly vaporized. Even if people at the edge survive by chance, they will be followed by a wave of air that will shake their internal organs to pieces. The instantaneous combustion of oxygen will cause people to suffocate to death because they cannot breathe enough oxygen, or the residual toxic gases from the explosion will destroy their nervous system.

Of course, this is not a completely enclosed space, and it is just a miniaturized grenade, which is far from the power of a low-Earth orbit bomb.

But it is enough to send these people to heaven.

When the shield guards arrived, it was no exaggeration to say that the scene was hell on earth.

Bozhukasti, who was used to battlefields, did not even linger on the corpses, but continued to move forward with his men.

This is war.

Zhang Miao was not a cold-blooded killer, and he didn't even bother to chase after those fleeing soldiers.

The tragic casualties and the enemy's overwhelming offensive made the defenders lose the will to resist, and a large number of soldiers simply dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

And Tallulah and the members of the Reunion Movement have just caught up with them.

They were so busy running that they didn't even have time to pick up the weapons that fell on the ground, but even so they only managed to catch the end of the battle.

The snow monsters were still chasing the deserters on the periphery after all; they didn't do anything.

Up to this point, the only two casualties were an unlucky guy who sprained his ankle because he ran too fast, and a shield guard whose shield was shot through by a crossbow. However, they were only superficial injuries and they quickly returned to the battlefield with the help of Zhang Miao's medical glue and hemostatic bandage.

Soon the three forces met in the passage. The Integration Movement stayed where it was to keep an eye on the prisoners, and in order to prevent anyone from killing the prisoners because of past hatred, Talullah also had to stay here.

There are still many people in front who are resisting stubbornly, and Zhang Miao, Yelena and others have to continue the attack.

Chapter 20: Attacked

Samsonov's head was about to explode.

Damn it, what the hell is wrong today? Why would someone suddenly come to attack the city?

If he loses this time, as the current highest administrator of the industrial zone, even if he survives by chance, the empire will not let him go easily!

In a rage, he overturned the dinner on the table, and threw the roasted, crispy little feather beast to the ground before he could even take a bite.

He roared loudly at the guard beside him, and the splashing saliva seemed to want to drown the soldier in front of him.

"Who is the commander of the nearest garrison? How long will it take for him to arrive? Are you all pigs? You can't even stop a bunch of untouchables in the wilderness!"

The soldier suppressed his dissatisfaction and kept answering his questions.

"The troops closest to us are those of General Rennankampf. They are about... three hours away from here. The vanguard of the Snowfield Guerrillas is... is..."

At the end of his words, the soldier began to stutter as if out of fear.

"Who is it! Is it His Majesty's personal army? Or the Vanguard? What excuses are you trying to make for your incompetence! You damned pigs! I think you should all be thrown into the mines!"

Samsonov's chest heaved with anger. He had only been in this position for less than six years and still had plenty of time and money to squander. He didn't want to die here!

This also aroused the guard's anger, and he shouted loudly

"It's the shield guard led by the Patriot!"

As soon as the name came out, Samsonov collapsed to the ground. If it weren't for his good self-control, he would have been incontinent by now.

How could it be him?

How could it be him?

No, no, no, I can't die here, I still have a bright future.

There is another way!

There must be a way!

Why did he come to me?

It's an infected person!

It must be those bastards who are colluding with the enemy!

I kept them working in the refinery. They are a bunch of ungrateful bastards!

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, Samsonov immediately jumped up from the ground, grabbed the guard's collar, and roared

"Bring those bastards here! They are the infected bastards. It's time for them to repay me!"

"Oh, and there's dynamite! Go to the warehouse and bring me some. The more the better!"

He was already mad and after saying these words, it seemed as if he had used up his last bit of strength. He staggered a few steps and sat down on the chair. His eyes were bloodshot and full of madness.

……

And the other side

After three hours of efforts, the messenger finally delivered the letter for help to the garrison camp.

A sturdy man sat in a chair and looked at the panting courier.

"You said the ore warehouse was attacked? And the industrial area was loading ore?"

The out-of-breath messenger still nodded.

"Yes, Commander Samsonov notified me immediately to come here for help. Please send troops as soon as possible."

Rennankampf smiled and patted the messenger on the shoulder calmly.

"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of crazy bandits. I will make arrangements as soon as possible."

Then he said to the adjutant next to him

"Take this messenger down to rest first."

The relieved messenger perked up a little. He could finally rest. He was almost dead from exhaustion.

Then he followed the adjutant out of the room.

After a while, the adjutant came back alone. He asked in confusion:

"Shouldn't we go to the warehouse to rescue the industrial zone now? Why..."

His superior did not answer this question, but asked him

"Who do you think would dare to attack the mobile city in this snowy field?"

The adjutant did not answer. Unlike Samsonov who occasionally passed by, they had been here for several years after all, so it went without saying.

Either he's crazy or he is.

"Those new nobles are arrogant. It's only right that they learn a lesson through hardship. Besides, what does it have to do with us if he gets beaten? We haven't received any news about it."

Samsonov was lucky enough to survive. He could have said that the messenger died on the way and he did not receive the tip-off. Since he survived, it only means that the people who attacked him were just a group of crazy bandits. The local garrison had to take action. Do you still have the nerve to do that?

Let him use his own soldiers to save the industrial zone, and then face the patriots?

Are you kidding me?

These old nobles didn't have much military power to begin with, and even though they had just divided up the Duke of Kosice's inheritance, they couldn't waste it on insignificant people.

Um... not right

It should be said that the army belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. Without His Majesty's order, no one can mobilize his army!

"Tell the people below to keep their mouths shut. No one saw the messenger enter the barracks. Do you understand?"

.........

The fierce attack had been going on for four hours, and all the fortifications had been destroyed. Except for a few officers who were still offering sporadic resistance, the soldiers no longer had the courage to continue organizing defense and laid down their weapons in surrender.

This is the integration movement, no, it is the biggest victory Yelena has achieved since she joined the Snowfield Guerrillas.

And she believed that this was just the beginning, and she would personally send this corrupt empire to the grave.

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement appeared on his cold face.

"You look happy."

Zhang Miao also followed Yelena, playing with a piece of ore in his hand.

The source stone content is 63%. This is a real good ore. The previous few trucks were just broken stones.

So he is very happy now too.

Yelena pursed her lips and didn't want to talk to him. Every time she saw him today, she would think of what happened yesterday at noon, which made her feel bad all of a sudden.

The two of them just walked side by side silently. Zhang Miao didn't say much either. He just looked at the holographic projection in front of him. There were many people gathered together on it. Lexington's subroutine determined that they were ordinary workers and posed no threat. They should be seeking refuge.

But there were still several people approaching here, but they had no weapons in their hands, and looked more like soldiers coming to surrender.

Soon the first person appeared in his sight, about thirty meters away from them. Contrary to what he thought, she was not a soldier who came to surrender, but a woman in tattered work clothes, who looked to be in her thirties. There were scars of varying degrees on her hands and neck, some of which looked like they had just been caused by fighting.

She was quickly stopped by a shield guard, but she was determined to bypass the shield guard, begging for mercy.

"My child seems to be lost, I want to go check on him."

"I am also infected, please let me pass."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a black crystal embedded in it.

After seeing this, the shield guards who were blocking the way softened their tone a little, but still did not let them go. They just kept comforting the woman and said they would arrange someone to find her child.

The woman knew that the shield guard would never let her go, and her expression looked extremely painful and anxious, as if she was struggling with something.

Finally, he made up his mind, took out a bag of unknown objects from his arms and threw it hard behind the shield guard.

Her movements were not fast, but they were so sudden that the shield guard in front of her did not react.

And the target... is Yelena and Zhang Miao.

Chapter 21: Razzy Plum

The woman seemed to be incredibly strong and wrapped the things at an incredibly fast speed, but in Zhang Miao's eyes it was still like slow motion.

The moment she took it out, he could see clearly what was inside and how big the explosion range was.

But Yelena didn't notice any of this at all. She just lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

Suddenly, a metal hand pressed against her chest and pushed her away.

In mid-air, Yelena came to her senses and saw the metal figure engulfed in a huge explosion of fire, and a blue light curtain flashed by.

That bag of high-strength Originium explosives was much more powerful than those used by the shield guards. After all, they all made them by hand and used an old formula, so the power was naturally insufficient.

The gust of wind blew away the debris around them. Fortunately, there were only five of them on this road, Zhang Miao, Yelena, two shield guards and the woman.

When the explosives exploded, the woman knelt on the ground, covered her face and began to cry, shouting

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry, he forced us to do this, and we had no choice."

A shield guard who reacted quickly pushed the woman to the ground and searched her body, fearing that she might have any remaining explosives on her body.

She did not resist, allowing the shield guard to control her roughly, and just continued to cry and apologize.
