You are such a fool, Rupert, who only cares about the overall situation.
The two parted ways soon after. Tallulah kept a straight face until she reached the room and couldn't help laughing. She felt that she had taken a big step forward. Should she consider building a good relationship with the other's sister, Shuangxing?
White Wolf walked back, reflecting on himself dejectedly. When he arrived at the room, the light was still on. Did Yelena forget to turn off the light?
She tiptoed to turn off the light, but saw Shuangxing on the upper bunk turned over, resting her head on the edge of the bed, eyes wide open: "Why are you back now? You still have a mission to do in the early morning."
"Uh, I haven't slept yet. I just went to practice Originium skills for a while." Once she accepted Sister Froststar's settings mentally, she felt it was not surprising that she asked these questions.
"You changed your sword too? This is Tallulah's, right? I've seen this sword before."
"Yeah, yes. There's an important mission coming up soon, so she lent me the weapon." Bai Lang felt nervous as she explained. Although the other party still spoke in a calm tone, she sensed that something was not right.
"This Talulah is really an easy-going person, even her sword..." Frost Star also noticed something was wrong when she said this. Her words seemed to have a bit of a gunpowder flavor unconsciously, so she changed the subject in time, "I left some food on the table for you, eat if you are hungry, I am a little sleepy, I will go to sleep first."
"OK, good night."
The food on the table was sandwiches. No one knew where Froststar got them from. In the North, this kind of food was already very good food. White Wolf ate it in big mouthfuls, then used the Originium technique to warm half a cup of water for himself. After eating and drinking his fill, he fell asleep comfortably.
For some reason, Shuangxing had insomnia today. As she tossed and turned, she suddenly remembered that White Wolf had said that she should be cautious about cooperating with the Integration Movement. After working with Big Bob, she basically trusted the organization. But today, for some reason, she felt that she should be cautious about cooperating. Maybe there was something wrong with this Tallulah.
Well, next time I meet her, I must be alert and not let my guard down!
In another room not far away, Tallulah was lying on the bed thinking to herself: I must first establish a good relationship with Frost Star, and in the future, I must be more careful about my words and actions when he is around!
Volume 2: Chapter 53: Ino & Sasha I
Later, when his life was about to burn out, the scene of that day reappeared in Ino's eyes - the white Rupert came in the morning light and reached out his hand to him in the mud.
This moment is the early morning of June 13th, 1095 in the Terran calendar.
The time goes back to six hours ago, at midnight, White Wolf packed up his things, said goodbye to Frost Star verbally, and hurried all the way to find his team.
The open space outside the camp was filled with people. Under the light of the electric lights, people and their shadows mixed together, making it dazzling at first glance.
White Wolf moved among the people and shadows, and heard the voices of the team leaders organizing the teams. When she found the gathering place, most of the teams had already been organized.
"You're here." Tallulah was already standing there in high spirits.
"Well, we just woke up a short while ago, and Big Bob hasn't arrived yet?"
"They've been here a long time ago." Tallulah pointed behind White Wolf, where she saw Big Bob in heavy armor helping other teams carry combat supplies.
"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a model cadre. I really didn't notice that."
"White Wolf."
"Ok?"
Tallulah raised her eyebrows and looked at the object in the other's arms with a strange expression. Her beautiful ceremonial sword was wrapped in a brown cloth, with only a small hilt showing.
"Well, there is a reason for this." White Wolf tried to sound matter-of-fact. "You must take good care of the things you lend me. You see, I treat it very well."
"Yes, yes. I want to thank you very much. How about I treat you to dinner some other day?" Tallulah said with a smile. She deliberately did not expose the other person's little thoughts.
"No, you're welcome. Okay, the team is almost gathered. You are the leader, so give the orders quickly." White Wolf waved his hand and pretended to change the subject with disgust.
Yes, it’s time to rescue our compatriots.
Tallulah took a deep breath, raised her head, faced the endless night, suddenly looked back at the white wolf, and then drew her sword and pointed it forward.
"set off!"
Four hours later, the silent team arrived near the canyon and split into two. The patriot led some of the troops to stay where they were and watched the others go around to the back of the canyon.
At 4:40, all the troops were in position. The Patriots launched the first attack. The defenders in the mining area sounded the alarm, and the combat personnel began to gather at the valley entrance. The two sides officially engaged in battle.
At 4:50, after the main force of the defenders was led to the front, Froststar and Bonebreaker led a surprise attack from the rear, and a hole was torn in the defense line. Tallulah, Big Bob, White Wolf and others took the opportunity to lead the team into the heart of the canyon.
The defenders on the front and back sides have been handed over to teammates. If there are any problems with the Patriots or Froststar Boneslayers and they fail to hold back the enemy, the rescue team in the hinterland may face the danger of being attacked from both sides.
But this is just a hypothetical worst-case scenario. White Wolf fully trusts the abilities of Patriot and Froststar, and their team configuration this time still has a great advantage over the enemy.
"Talulah, I'll go inside the mine first." White Wolf easily knocked the panicked guard to the ground with his scabbard and shouted back.
"Be careful." Tallulah nodded helplessly. She originally wanted the white wolf to stay near her so that it would be easier to protect her, but it was obvious that the other party would not listen to her obediently, so she could only let it go.
White Wolf rushed towards the mining area in one breath. The defenders at the mine entrance had already received the alarm and were on high alert. When they saw someone coming, they immediately fired a volley of shots with their loaded crossbows.
However, the accuracy of these arrows was very poor.
Relying on her speed, Bai Lang easily dodged this wave of attacks. These people were probably not professional crossbowmen, and they didn't even take into account the lead time. All the arrows fell behind her.
Sure enough, as soon as she approached, these "crossbowmen" threw down their crossbows and drew cold weapons from their waists.
Five people, two swords and three knives.
The white wolf rushed over without stopping, as if it was the one with the majority of people.
The guard at the front seemed to see the enemy's smile and felt puzzled. There was only one person from the other side coming to die, so shouldn't we be the ones laughing?
The next moment, he suddenly felt cold, and even his thoughts seemed to freeze. He saw that Rupert's sword was covered with white frost. What the other party held in his hand was not a sword, but the entire winter.
He saw the other party sheath his sword for the last time, and finally understood what had happened, but there was no pain at all, only a dull itch in his throat, and the world quickly became colorful.
Well, Froststar's Originium skills are really effective when they catch people off guard.
While commenting secretly in his mind, White Wolf cautiously entered the mine.
This time, nothing could stop her. The only guards and supervisors she met along the way were lone guards who could be easily dealt with.
However, the infected miners did not seem to be trapped here. She didn't know how far she had advanced, but she had not made any important discoveries. Her ears had become quiet and she could no longer hear the sounds of Big Bob and the others fighting.
"It's time to go back." White Wolf said to herself. She walked straight back, but the interior of the mine was winding and complicated, and she lost her direction for a while. After turning around a few times, she returned to the same place again.
Hiss, isn't this a common plot in movies and TV shows? Will you be unable to find the way out next? Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, take your time, maybe Tallulah will find you after a while.
She calmed down and carefully observed the details around her as she walked, hoping to find a real way out, but before she found the way, other discoveries attracted her attention.
The environment here is abnormal. The ground is very hard and there are signs of long-term trampling. This situation should occur at the entrance of the mine, not deep in the mine.
She looked at the ground carefully and found some bread crumbs from the base of the wall, which further confirmed her previous guess.
If her guess was correct, she had already passed through the entire mountain from the mine and reached the outside of the canyon. This should also be an important location, but she didn't know how well guarded it was.
White Wolf looked carefully and found traces of chains dragging on her feet. The intelligence from the last reconnaissance told her that this should be the kind that miners wore on their feet.
Following the traces, after a few turns, a hidden iron gate appeared on the left. She melted the lock and pushed the door open. What she saw was the snowfield at dawn, and behind it were the mountains forming a canyon.
There was a path trampled by people, leading to somewhere at the foot of the mountain. White Wolf held the sword and walked carefully along the path.
At the end of the path was a dark cave. She suddenly heard a voice coming out, so she stopped in time, hid herself and listened carefully.
"Sasha, it's been such a mess outside for so long, maybe someone will really come! Will they save us?"
"Don't think about it, kid." A hoarse voice interrupted, "No one cares about the lives of us infected people. The situation outside is mostly a game of interests among the nobles. Other miners can at most change their masters, but we, the sick and weak, may starve to death in this iron cage."
"Don't be so pessimistic." Bai Lang roughly understood the situation, so he stopped hiding and walked to the front of the iron prison leisurely. "At least this time, everyone is here for you."
Volume 2: Chapter 54: Ino & Sasha II
The infected people in the cages were stunned for a moment, a little confused about the current situation.
Bai Lang didn't have time to waste here. Every second she delayed would cause the guards to discover the situation. She drew her sword decisively, cut the iron lock in two, and then opened the iron door.
"Everyone leave here first and find a safe place."
Most of the infected people stayed where they were and did not rush to leave, but when the first person took the lead to go out, everyone swarmed out of the cage and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Don't panic, it's safe here for now." White Wolf hurried out to maintain order, but an accident still happened. Not far from the cage entrance, a boy with short white hair was squeezed to the ground. She immediately set out to rescue him, and a child with gray-blue hair also acted at the same time as her.
Perhaps because he was too anxious, the rescued child was bumped into by someone and was about to fall. Fortunately, White Wolf arrived in time, steadying him with one hand, then stood in front of the fallen boy. The cold air emanated from the scabbard, dispersing the impulsive crowd.
She bent down and pulled up the boy who had fallen. She was surprised to find that he looked familiar. The one with gray-blue hair was also not unfamiliar. These were the two children she saw when she was investigating a week ago.
"What are your names?"
"I'm Ino, and he's Sasha." The white-haired, younger-looking boy pointed at his companions and said. The child named Sasha didn't say anything.
"Okay then, Ino, Sasha, don't run around later. Always follow your sister."
"But, I remember there were a lot of people with whips outside." Ino hesitated.
"Don't worry, look at me, I will beat them all down." Bai Lang said as she walked out. She saw two young men following her out from the corner of her eye and nodded slightly.
The released infected people gathered together, about thirty or forty people. This should only be a part of the mining area. There must be more infected workers in other places. I don’t know how Tallulah’s rescue work is going. Don’t be outdone by me.
White Wolf thought about Tallulah's situation and listened to the noise in the distance. From the sound, she could tell that the battle was still going on. Since the visible range on the surface was wide, the risk factor of moving with a group of people was much greater than in the mine, so she decided to lead everyone back to the mine they came from.
She planned to let the infected people hide inside for a while. She had already cleaned the entire mine, so it should be relatively safe.
It just so happened that these people were quite familiar with the situation inside the mine, and it didn't take long for them to find a mine cart transfer station. This was originally a place where mine carts were parked. The miners put the rough source stone ore in a backpack, and when a basket was full, they transported it here and it was transported out by rail mine carts. Of course, the mine carts were also pulled by the laborers with manpower.
There were only two nervous supervisors guarding the transfer station. After Bai Lang easily took care of the two, the entire area was cleared.
"Okay, let's take a break here."
After White Wolf finished speaking, he overturned a mine cart and sat on it as a stool: "I know everyone is curious about my origins, so I'll take this opportunity to tell you."
"You've all heard of the Reunion Movement, right?" She said as she observed. Only a few people showed excited expressions. It seems that the reputation of the Reunion Movement is not good enough.
"If it's not clear, do the Patriot guerrillas know?" she continued.
"You mean General Bodracasti?"
"Yes."
"But isn't the general fighting on the front line? When did he lead the guerrillas?" An old bear man (Ursus) with slightly gray hair asked in confusion. Those around him who knew the situation were eager to explain, but more people seemed to think that what he said made sense.
Alas, these people probably haven't had any contact with the outside world for decades. Generally speaking, not many people know about the two organizations. There is no way to avoid this. The snowfield is famous for its lack of information, and the native residents here may not know as much about their surroundings as outsiders from the south.
"I'll explain it slowly when the time comes. You can ask people around you who know. Anyway, just know that I'm from a mutual aid organization for the infected. I'm going to the center of the canyon now to see if there's anyone willing to lead the way."
The infected people fell silent in tacit understanding. The center of the canyon was the most densely guarded place, and they all knew how great the risk was to go there.
"I come."
"I'll lead the way."
Sasha, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and his words coincided with those of Ino.
"Come together." White Wolf said in a good mood. She believed that Tallulah should have cleaned up the outside almost completely. In this case, it would not be difficult to protect the two children.
What's more, these two children are surprisingly reliable. Sasha quietly untied the crossbow from the overseer's body and began to study it carefully. Ino also found an iron rod and held it in his hand.
The three of them walked forward along the mine. White Wolf took the crossbow from Sasha and explained to her how to use this small weapon. Although she didn't use it often, she still had a lot of theoretical knowledge. As for Ino's iron rod, there was no need to teach him, he just had to hit people on the head.
Volume 2: Chapter 55: Ino & Sasha III
With the guidance of Ino and Sasha, White Wolf quickly found the exit of the mine. During the time she was away, the situation outside had changed a lot.
The center and rear areas have quieted down, and the battlefield is mainly concentrated where the patriots are, which is also where the main force of the enemy is.
She looked around but couldn't find Tallulah or Big Bob. There were only a few wounded soldiers around, resting on the rocks.
Bailang walked over and briefly checked the injuries of several people. None of them were too serious, so he treated them with the medicine he carried with him and then bandaged them.
She had very limited medical supplies on her, so she just used cloth strips to treat minor injuries. She might consider a whole medicine box in the future, but it was troublesome to carry it with her, and a bit of a headache.
"Doctor Bai, who are these two children behind you?" The injured member of the Integration Movement looked at the two little followers behind her curiously.
"He is also an infected person from the mining area. By the way, how is the rescue of other infected people going?"
"Most of them were successfully rescued. The leader handed them over to the rear troops for protection, and then led them to the Patriot General."
Most of them, Bai Lang repeated to himself, accepting the result. In this situation, they couldn't do it perfectly, and casualties were always inevitable.
"Okay, you guys just rest here first, I'll go to the front line to check." She nodded to the wounded, and then said to Inosasha: "You guys stay here, don't run around."
"I want to go too." Ino waved his iron rod excitedly. Sasha said nothing, but his expression clearly showed that he had the same idea as Ino.
A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger, White Wolf thought, there are the most dangerous Sarkaz warlocks ahead, she can't let these two little ones pass by no matter what.
But she also knew that for a young boy like this, the more you forbid him to do something, the more he would do it. If she refused directly, these two guys might turn around and sneak away on their own, which would be even more risky.
White Wolf thought for a moment, then held both heads with one hand each, then half-knelt down and said seriously: "The battlefield is the most dangerous place. We never thought that enemies would appear there unexpectedly. This is true everywhere. Therefore, the wounded here are in a very dangerous situation and must be protected!"
"Now, I have to go to the front line and I can't be busy for the time being. Can I leave the important task of protecting the wounded to you?"
She used a tone of entrusting someone with an important matter, but when she spoke, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the injured integrated soldier behind her grinning from ear to ear, so she took the opportunity to send him a threatening look, and the other person quickly covered his mouth.
