Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Although she could roughly guess what they were saying, Eyjafjalla's hearing, even after the surgery, was only passable.

If we have to compare, it is even weaker than Otto's in many indicators.

Facing the Sarkaz girl, Caprini had no sense of boundaries. She held the spoon in her bare hands and poked the "mashed potatoes" in front of W.

"It tastes a bit strange." Eyjafjalla tilted her head unconsciously. Otto's question came out from her lips, which reflected the alluring color: "It seems that it is not completely crushed?"

"Speaking of which, do we serve potatoes? Why do you seem to be the only one eating mashed potatoes?"

W abruptly changed the subject: "Come to think of it, why do you want me to enforce military discipline?"

Ott also seems to really think that this topic is more valuable.

"The first batch of soldiers, trained by the Chernobogs, intervened in two or three noteworthy conflicts under my micromanagement. However, they were cannon fodder troops who abandoned ranks and formations and directly adopted horse-mounted musketry."

"Not to mention, due to the lack of room for screening, the first batch of soldiers had many problems in terms of both physical fitness and moral quality."

"The living conditions in Ursus are extremely harsh. Under such circumstances, the Ursians are incredibly tolerant of the brutal treatment from the princes and the nobles, while also being willing to treat others with even greater brutality."

"For soldiers who suddenly gained access to violence and participated in two tough battles, it was easy for them to position themselves in this role."

"But Rhode Island's purpose, beliefs and positions cannot allow this to happen."

"Also, since the acquisition work at Lungmen has been phased in, Rhodes Island will soon have sufficient supplies, and the soldiers will gradually receive their pay."

Ott jumped and said, "So during the reconstruction of Facility 14, I need to fire some people who are not working well."

"The head is opened and the life is taken away?" W took a spoonful of thick soup from Eyjafjalla's bowl while Otto was not paying attention.

"Considering future developments, we don't recommend such drastic measures on a large scale." Ott commented on W's actions. "However, he's trying to incite conflict between soldiers and mercenaries. Killing one to warn the rest is a good thing."

"You still haven't told me why you want me to restrain you!"

"Which version do you want to hear?"

W hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Truth?"

"Whether it's true or not depends on the different aspects of the information and the audience's perspective."

"I don't understand this! Anyway, don't fool me!"

"..." Faced with this "request" that fully utilizes his own abilities, Ott was speechless. "On the one hand, I need to create a gap between you and the Midwinter Soldiers. This will make it easier to control both of your forces."

"How dare you say that!"

"That's your request."

"What about the other side?"

"I need you to have a personal understanding of the term 'military discipline'. Because I need you to prepare a new legion."

"……what?"

Chapter 230: Beauty Trap

The Sarkaz girl was a little flustered by Otto's suggestion.

A new... Legion?

why?

No, that's not right.

Only at this moment did W keenly realize the problem:

Under the current circumstances, if I were to form a legion, the only model would be the "mercenary group"!

And since they are a mercenary group, they can't just stay in Rhodes Island!

In other words, this is equivalent to kicking me away from the stinky otter for a long time!

The hazy and ambiguous feelings in the Sarkaz girl's heart made her unwilling to stay away from Otto for the time being.

She rolled her eyes, pointed at the cup on Eyjafjalla's plate, and asked, "Drinking coffee at noon? Do you have any important work to do?"

As Ott gradually grasped W's personality, the Sarkaz girl also gradually realized how to get Ott to start commentary mode.

"Well, but it's not me, it's 'I'." Eyjafjalla pointed her index finger at her chest.

Then, Ott said, "There's still a lot of data to calculate regarding the movement of natural disasters."

"That natural disaster, it's not..."

Didn't you do it yourself?

Otto naturally knew what W was hesitant to say.

He replied, "It's true that a power halberd could have severed the head, but the head had already been thrown. After rolling a few times on the ground, it was kicked by a passerby. Its current trajectory naturally has little to do with the person wielding the power halberd."

Ott used a metaphor that even W could understand.

After thinking carefully for a while, W exploded in anger: "Do you look down on me?!"

"I have a deep understanding of your cultural literacy."

"Hehehe..." The Sarkaz girl pretended to smile foolishly in order to completely confuse the topic of the Legion.

"Isn't this the same idea?!"

"The question you should be asking now is who 'the person passing by' is."

"Hmm, who's that passing by?"

W breathed a sigh of relief.

"Originium cycles in the natural environment."

"……What?"

"The head you chopped off earlier can eat, it can...reincarnate."

"Everything he eats, along with everything he is, becomes part of the overall natural environmental cycle."

"Carbon is circulating, water is circulating, 'air' is circulating... Originium, nature is also circulating."

Considering the level of W's cheese, Ott also used the term "air".

"Um……"

Although it was a topic that he was not good at and could not quite understand, W felt that the "mashed potatoes" in front of him were sweeter.

Hey, calm down, that's probably due to salivary amylase.

"Anyway, something great must have influenced that, right?"

"You can't say your point of view is wrong."

W stared at Caprini in front of him, holding his chin and asked, "Can't you just admit that I'm right?"

Seeing Eyjafjalla's eyes drifting towards the mercenaries again, W hurriedly asked, "That! Inner! Guard!"

I can't let you bring up the topic of the Legion!

"What's going on with that inner guard?"

"A failed attempt."

Before they knew it, both of them had finished their lunch, and the people around them, including the Blood Demon, were gone.

Ott stacked his plate on top of Eyjafjalla's coffee cup and said, "This is a stable structure now."

He drew a circle on the bottom of the cup and said, "With this as the foundation, the plate stands firmly."

Then he placed W's bowl on the plate as well.

Now, the coffee cup is on top of the dinner plate, and the dinner plate is on top of the bowl.

"Ideally, it should look like this."

Soon, Ott turned W's bowl sideways and stuffed a corner of the plate into it, so that the bowl stood on the table with its arc surface.

The cutlery now forms a very unstable structure.

“And the reality is: it’s not ideal at all.”

The coffee cup fell from the sky, smashing the plate and bowl apart. The bowl, which was originally standing on its side, fell over.

The bowl ended up facing upside down.

"That inner guard was already under the influence of alien forces, and my actions added another influence. The original delicate balance was broken, and in this process, he suddenly unleashed a powerful force."

W recalled the video he had seen and asked, "His healing ability is similar to yours!"

"The mechanism of action is still unclear."

Ott shook his head. "Whether it's the most appropriate way for the alien power itself to manifest, or whether a specific accessory induces a specific effect, there's currently insufficient information to draw any conclusions."

The accessory he was wearing on the "collapsed inner guard" that had not collapsed was the "Healer's Pendant." Originally, Ott considered that the inner guard probably had no self-healing skills, so he specially equipped it with an ineffective piece of equipment to save trouble.

But the final result was that the Collapse Inner Guard repeatedly demonstrated a healing ability that was extremely similar to "Destiny Reconstruction", and Otto had to recall this ornament.

If the Collapse Guardian obtained this healing ability from Ott or an accessory, then it should have obtained the Ott's most commonly used Originium-powered version rather than the alien power version...

"That last blow of yours wasn't bad! Tallulah, Froststar, and another inner guard couldn't deal with the enemy despite repeated attacks, but you took it out with just one blow!"

The Sarkaz girl leaned very close and asked, "What is that?"

Eyjafjalla's face moved back uncomfortably.

Seeing this scene, W thought of Ott, the figure behind this pretty face. She imagined Ott's active "retreat" in the face of her "attack," and a unique excitement welled up from the depths of her heart.

What... you also have such a bad place!

"Sacrificial Thrust."

Under the influence of the Dark Dungeon's laws, the more appropriate name for the "Collapse" Inner Guard might be "Demon Inner Guard." Sacrifice Stab deals significant damage to Demon units, and coupled with the Mystic Scholar's white class accessory, "Demon Slaying Incense," Ott's ability to deplete the "Collapse" Inner Guard's health bar with a single critical strike wasn't particularly surprising.

You know, facing the "Countess" who didn't even have the Demon entry, the ancestor was able to kill her with a critical hit.

"Then why can it be killed with one blow?"

"Special attack."

The Sarkaz girl complained, "You're saying something incomprehensible again!"

"On this point alone, I have been very frank."

W choked on Ott's words and suddenly realized, "Wait, where are they?"

"She was taken away by Klothir."

"Take away!? Where did you take my men?!"

"Issuing them with 'sleep dream instruments'."

W quickly reacted: "You guys are trying to steal my team!"

"No, that's not true. I want you."

Chapter 231 Secretly Determined

What you want is... me?

The Sarkaz girl's breathing paused, but as she had been "battle-hardened" in a certain sense, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

"Smelly Otter, I won't be fooled again! What's the second half of that sentence?!"

After all, Otto has used this trick several times. W is just uneducated, not stupid.

"I have a little problem with 'again' and 'being fooled.'" A smile was hidden in Eyjafjalla's eyes.

Ott's request to W was made clear from the beginning: he needed W to form a new legion.

"It's that same legion!?" W said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you already have one?"

"We currently have two teams of Winter Soldiers," Ott explained. "But their basic qualities are relatively low. If we want them to be useful, I need to lead them."

The Sarkaz girl raised an eyebrow and said, "Doc Otter? Doc Lazy!"

W inadvertently said what Otto once said.

"I don't deny that." Eyjafjalla stood up, and Ott turned to W and said, "The Sarkaz mercenaries are all seasoned warriors, but their organization has long meant they still lack certain qualities, qualities I need more of."
