Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Those armed men who Ott claimed were from the "Malta Private Military Contracting Company" had an almost undisguised admiration for Ott.

Even if it was the smallest gesture, as long as it came from Ott, they were genuinely happy.

What he didn't know was that not long ago, these soldiers were in the same situation as these infected workers.

Chesper thought:

Rhodes Island is doing a little too well... As a result, I'm afraid they won't be able to cause much noise during the ribbon-cutting ceremony...

We have to find a way to make them merge the land and evacuate...

Ott looked at Chesper's slightly gloomy face and decided to give him another push.

Soon, Dester came running over wearing a helmet that looked so lively that it was no different whether she was wearing it or not.

"Doc Otter! News from Kavaleriyaki!"

Chapter 308: Peace of Mind

"Miss Amiya asked me to pass this on to you!"

As she spoke, Desiree handed the tablet to Ott very ceremoniously.

Chesper took a quick glance and the first words he said put him at ease.

"Dear Ms. Amiya: I am honored to inform you that the Casimir Supervisory Committee and the Knights Association approved your company's proposed 'Contracts of Cooperation on Medical Care for Infected Participants and Improvement of the Medical Environment' yesterday. We will send a dedicated person to your company in the near future to contact you. The electronic version of the contract document has been sent to your email address along with this letter..."

Chesper immediately tried to avoid suspicion: "Dr. Ott, I'll take my leave first."

As expected, Ott stopped him and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if Kavaleriaki gives a positive answer, we will still deal with Zvonek's affairs."

To Chesper's ears, these words sounded like: The Rhodes Island ship will leave after completing its mission.

Only one branch office and a few rural clinic offices remained, which were unable to compete with the military force of the Knights.

By then, the people stranded in Rhodes Island will become...

After thinking about it, Chesper decided to arrange these people who had some medical skills to the rear, or at least to the field hospital.

First, Rhodes Island is really good at this; second, preserving Rhodes Island's troops in the fierce war can be regarded as repaying Otto's "inadvertent" kindness.

Hey man, you're popping champagne at halftime! ?

Still thinking of the relationship?!

However, if Rhodes Island's performance in Kavaleriaki went poorly, Ott might actually indulge his plan. This political bomb, originally scheduled to explode in the fall, would reach a critical point around the tournament finals under Ott's careful care.

The fate of this country has spontaneously reached a critical point, and Ott has only given it a push, making it a card that may come in handy at a critical moment.

"I understand." Ott returned the tablet to the golden lawyer and said, "Send it back."

Why would an email need a clerk carrying a tablet back and forth? Wouldn't it be better to just forward it?

Admittedly, if you want to make an excuse, you can use "safety" as an excuse.

But this matter was indeed deliberately arranged by Otto - just to show it to Chesper.

"Mr. Chesper, Rhodes Island has received a lot of care from the Knights these days."

Have it?

Chesper was stunned.

“Without your sincere invitation and support, it would be difficult for Rhode Island to gain a foothold in the rural area of Zwonek, let alone take root in the city.”

That sounds so reasonable!

However, after taking advantage of the situation, can one actually say it in this way: "After taking advantage of the situation, one should return the fair treatment that originally belonged to Rhodes Island."

If you act like this, you must have a purpose!

But...it's okay, as long as it's not too excessive.

The War Knight shook his head secretly and decided to support all of Otto's actions.

"Regretfully, Rhodes Island has yet to offer a reasonable solution to the issue of bounty hunters hired by Gale Industries wreaking havoc on the countryside."

"...I thought Zhizhuotu was dead."

Chesper did want to help the villagers, but he played this trick more to limit the reckless behavior of Gale Industries.

However, after entering Rhodes Island, within just a few days, Gale Industries reduced the presence of its branch in Zwonek due to objective and practical factors and a shift in profit.

Not to mention that after Rhodes Island participated in the management of infected workers in the name of Northern Industries, the progress of the project was greatly accelerated, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Leica friendly city that Chesper had been thinking about would also be held ahead of schedule.

As long as we use some tricks on the Leitanian nobles who participated in this ceremony, in the eyes of Casimir and most countries, the Lei-Ka War will begin in the form of an attack on Casimir!

Only two or three months to a great cause!

In this case...you told me that there is still a chicken that has not been killed in the Novice Village.

Indeed, no killing.

But Chesper no longer had any interest in bounty hunting.

"But those who committed the most direct evil are still alive." Ott turned his head to look at Chesper: "People are not swords. How can you use the word "knife" to cover up your own sins?"

Bounty hunters.

"This was originally a commission from the Knights, but after witnessing it firsthand, Rhodes Island felt that this group of villains needed to be completely eliminated. Unfortunately, we lack sufficient manpower..."

Chesper raised his head and gestured to the soldiers.

"With a massive ship, Rhodes Island's own operators, and these 'private military contractors', honestly, your chances of capturing Zvonek are only a 1% chance, let alone a bunch of scattered soldiers."

"With such strength, attacking a military town from the outside, even if the probability is one percent, it means you think highly of us, Captain Chesper." Ott took this step back first.

He didn't say inside.

"I wonder if Captain Chesber has ever heard the story of the knight's treasure?" Otto suddenly changed the subject.

What does this have to do with the crackdown on bounty hunters?

"..."

This is like asking a Yan person: Have you ever heard of what kind of robe a real dragon wears?

Casimir is a country of "Kuranta (horse) warriors", that is, a country of "knights".

Putting aside the bad superstructure, on the feudal economic basis, the knights exploited the people in their territories while taking advantage of passing caravans, and some even resorted to the despicable act of wearing scarves to disguise themselves as robbers.

After such "primitive and bloody feudal accumulation", part of the blood money of the knights will be converted into their military power; part will be converted into their enjoyment; and part will flow into the hands of more suitable inferior businessmen because the knights are intellectually unable to continue holding it.

But everyone is destined to die.

If a knight accumulated enough wealth and supporters during his lifetime, he would build a mausoleum for himself, and the wealth that he still held before his death - including gold, silver, treasures and unique weapons and equipment - would be buried in it as burial objects.

These buried treasures were called "Knight's Treasures".

Feudal lords in every country love to do this kind of work.

But it is obvious that Casimir, who has a developed propaganda machine and is strongly associated with the concept of "knight", is able to promote this ordinary burial and tomb-robbing behavior as Casimir's unique cultural custom - the knight's treasure.

Looking at the oddly-looking Chesper, Ott said, "With the excavation of yet another cluster of tombs, bounty hunters have decided to take a risk and make a quick buck."

"But I don't want to just let them go." Then, Ott said, "Besides, precisely because bounty hunters are scattered and erratic, if we disperse them, the threat they pose to the public will increase sharply."

Chesper narrowed his eyes: "Doctor, you mean..."

He clenched his fists, and his shiny gauntlets made a pleasant sound.

Ott nodded: "I hope the Knights can participate in the encirclement and suppression."

Chapter 309 Knowing

Amiya squatted in a villager's private brewery and stretched out her hand into the darkness.

"Be good...come out..."

In the palm of the little rabbit's hand is a ball of spike-shaped hops.

This unique flavor attracted the small creatures in the dark. A source stone worm tentatively extended its tentacles and slowly stretched them out.

After it captured the hops in Amiya's palm, it quickly retracted.

"Haha!" the workshop owner laughed. "I don't think Rhodes Island knows everything!"

He said excitedly, "Even though Originium Worms don't have a good memory, they still get scared when facing people who haven't had long-term contact with them!"

"Actually, there are people in Rhodes Island who get along well with Originium Bugs!" Amiya said, "For example, Vanilla Operator!"

Ott quietly watched the little rabbit's rare smile and asked, "Have you ever marked the ingredients for your own private brewing?"

The workshop owner's face froze: "Doctor... spare me..."

There are many ways to brew beer using Originium Worms, and anyone could discover the secret recipe independently.

Some people choose to drop newly born Originium Worms into a pile of wheat husks, wait for them to grow into shells rich in wheat husks, and then brew beer with the shells and hops. Others choose to feed the Originium Worms with hops, brewing beer with the Originium Worms' hop-rich mucus.

In Leishi Village, there is "craft beer" that uses the latter process.

It needs to be emphasized in advance that there is only one private workshop in Lei Shi Village that uses this technology, and it has been kept secret very well all along - this technology is indeed a bit disgusting in the eyes of ordinary people.

drip.

PRTS reminded: "Doc Otter, Amiya, the encirclement has been formed."

The workshop owner said worriedly, "Doctor... I know you are all good people, but is this really necessary?"

Ott said, "Amiya, now you know the consequences of revealing the battle plan."

This despicable person makes the rules and breaks them at the same time.

As if jokingly, he used the information about the bounty hunters in exchange for the workshop owner's honesty about his unique beer recipe.

Honestly... the workshop owner doesn't even understand how to sell this kind of information.

Ott said goodbye to the workshop owner: "Don't worry, in the worst case scenario, the bounty hunters will just flee north and won't be able to harm you."

The workshop owner hesitated, but was too embarrassed to say that he was actually worried that there would be casualties in Rhodes Island.

He just waved goodbye.

A boot slipped through the grass, dew clinging to the surface. Ghost Shark set off first, starting the car.

This time, Otto and Amiya sat in the back seat together.

"In fact, being dissuaded by those who have difficulty coordinating the overall situation based on their own experience is only the least harmful form of war intelligence leakage."

He changed the concept again.

Facing Otto's instruction, Amiya stood up and asked, "But what if the gap in combat power isn't so obvious? What if a bounty hunter escapes the encirclement and attacks the villagers?"

What the two were talking about was not the current crackdown on bounty hunters.

Amiya is a smart girl who truly loves her small family, which consists of her, Kel'tsit, Otto, and Theresa. However, her view on war is one of simple kindness.

Or, to put it the other way around: Amiya has a simple view of war, and she is a smart girl.

Ott's words when he organized his troops and intervened in the Lai Village incident had already outlined a fact for Amiya, who knew him very well:

Otto intends to forge Rhodes Island into a war machine and actively engage in a war.

It wasn't even a secret in Rhode Island:

Regardless of whether Ott learned the details of the Sarkaz civil war from other angles, his cold and hostile attitude towards the "Regent" was particularly obvious to the "old man" with the background of the Tower of Babel.

Some of them jumped for joy, others frowned, but in the end they all expressed their attitude with silence - no objection.

"We didn't start a war, we just accepted it," Ott said. "And since we've accepted it, the only thing we can think about is how to win."

"Doc Otter..." Amiya grabbed Otto's hand and hesitated, "How much have you figured out about the predecessor of Rhodes Island, the Tower of Babel, and the Sarkaz Civil War?"

"What can be gathered from public sources and what can be pieced together from Rhode Island documents," Ott said, "including Rhode Island's role during the Civil War and our hostility with Teresis."

Also, I shut down Rhodes Island's defense system and it hasn't been reopened to date.

Ott glanced at the terminal.

Who was it that reminded me of this then? PRTS? Precious? Or some aspect of Haisi within Laurentina?

The desire to pursue something buried all other emotions.

Feeling Otto's inner emotions, Amiya breathed a sigh of relief.
