Arknights, but the family has fallen again

W kicked the Sarkaz and shouted, "Right! I have a fever!"

Ott sighed.

Chapter 135: The Sun Shines

Looking down from the towering city walls, scattered refugees lay scattered on the charred earth, while the Sarkaz mercenaries... were trying to pick up money from the scorched earth.

As several gates on the outer wall of the moving city opened, Longmen soldiers wearing dragon-horned helmets filed out and formed a formation to move forward.

Seeing the bombardment cease and the soldiers marching out, the Sarkaz mercenaries, somewhat stubbornly, dragged the bodies, still clothed, in an attempt to make a final profit.

This group of Sarkaz mercenaries was led by none other than the Centurion W had "rescued" from Ott. Enticed by the Boneslayer and the Kingslayer with a large sum of money, he had secretly abducted his own men, separated from the main force, and gathered a group of refugees from the wilderness to provide cover for their actions.

And, by the way, get some of the refugees' belongings.

There is indeed a touch of black humor in all this: Bonebreaker and the Regicide's actions were not notified to Hedley, Inès, Faust, or Mephistopheles.

As if harboring some strange idea, Bonebreaker secretly contacted a very energetic centurion among the Sarkaz mercenaries.

And this centurion is unexpectedly charismatic.

Even though the remaining Sarkaz mercenaries have pledged allegiance to W, he can still appreciate his personal charm (and recklessness) in reuniting his old subordinates with a nonsensical excuse like "going to the bathroom".

To prepare for future wars, Wei Yanwu used natural disasters as an excuse to continuously reduce Longmen's speed, and it has now basically come to a standstill. Because of this, a large number of refugees have been swarming around Longmen these days.

They huddled near the Dragon Gate, exchanging their few remaining possessions for meager food, water and fuel.

The Sarkaz people do not regard the lives of others as their own, and their tradition of despising their own lives made them not hesitate to include the above-mentioned refugees in their team and launch a "humanitarian" attack on the Longmen City Wall.

Of course, when facing a political animal that believes "morality is a flaw", the result of such an attack is that Lao Wei issues an order and the city defense artillery bombards indiscriminately.

"This city defense cannon has only been in use for three quarters of an hour." Lin Qingyan glanced at the sweaty Chen Huijie and kindly reminded her, "There's no need to fight so hard."

From a certain perspective, the very existence of the Linqing Inkstone prevented the Longmen defenders from going on a killing spree...

As mentioned above, "unkindness" is a very serious accusation against the Governor of Longmen.

If they were facing a group of refugees led by the Ursus Army and launching a serious ant-like siege, Longmen would naturally not be subject to any moral criticism.

But now their "enemies" are just refugees driven here by a small group of Sarkaz mercenaries.

If they were to deal with them, the Longmen army would have to shoot accurately and make sure not to leave any of them alive... The people from the Suzhengyuan are still watching!

The personal attitudes of these three adults towards the infected are their own, but as the key departments of Yanlu, they also need to maintain their appearance in public!

Unlike the original world line, these refugees did not cause any trouble in Lungmen, so taking action against them would be against emotion, reason, and law.

Chen Huijie frowned, then forced himself to suppress his anger.

But in the end, she couldn't help but say sarcastically, "I'm just afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."

The burly man beside Lin Qingyan said, "They are infected after all. Perhaps it would be more comfortable for them to die."

Taihe, Niutou...oh no, Fengti people.

"Yes, people...will eventually grow old, get sick and die." Chen Huijie forced a smile and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

The three people in front of him were high-ranking officials from two of the three judicial departments: the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Suzhengyuan. However, because of the right time and the right matter, they were urgently granted the responsibility of supervising the army.

The Dali Temple was an old acquaintance, and the core department of the so-called Suzhengyuan of Dayan was the "Imperial Censorate." The modern department on Earth that was closest to their responsibilities was called the Jilu Supervisory Committee (explosion prevention).

It can be said that if the three of them tried their best to avoid it, Wei Yanwu and Longmen could be sentenced to death in terms of procedure - but procedures are procedures and reality is reality.

It's all fine to talk about making cards in the void, but if you really do it, then it does have a bit of... the beauty of underdeveloped intelligence.

"Master Taihe, what you said is a bit too much." Another man reminded him specifically.

This is in public. Whether you dislike the infected or don't care about them, they... they are still human beings according to the Law of Fire.

"What Jie Zhen said is true." Tai He nodded, then reminded, "County... I mean, Superintendent Chen, although the three of us are military supervisors, we all have some self-awareness."

Chen Huijie widened his eyes, then exhaled the pent-up energy as evenly as possible.

Xie Zhen looked at Chen Huijie, who was already over thirty years old, with an expression that said, "This young man is teachable," and said, "Although we are not ignorant of military strategy, we also... hehe."

"I'm not sure about military strategy, but I dare not show off in front of Duke Wei." After saying this, Jie Zhen clasped his hands together, crossed them again, and a few strands of silver thread came out from his sleeves. "Taihe, Shaoqing Lin, how about...?"

Below, the Lungmen soldiers were about to engage in a firefight with the Saka people.

Lin Qingyan said, "No."

"As one of the three judicial officials, you should not arbitrarily interfere in local affairs."

"As the military supervisor, I shouldn't interfere with the decisions made on the front lines if the commander's strategy is correct."

"What's more..." Lin Qingyan looked at his two "current colleagues" seriously and said, "If the military supervisor kills the enemy, if he wins, he will take away the soldiers' rewards; if he loses, it will hurt morale."

"Indeed, victory is of no benefit, while defeat is deeply harmful. This is what the wise do not do."

"..." Jie Zhen awkwardly put his hands back into the sleeves of the person opposite him, and replied to the spoiling Lin girl: "Master Lin, what you said is absolutely true!"

He had just called him "Mr. Lin", but after being retorted by Lin Qingyan, Jie Zhen immediately changed his address to "Lord Lin".

Low-flying aircraft streaked across the sky.

"Who is it? The artillery crew..."

A flash of lightning flashed across Lin Qingyan's fingertips, and Chen Huijie immediately stopped her: "He's an expert on infected people hired by Longmen."

“They are helping us deal with the infected people in downtown.”

As it was related to Longmen's future development direction, Chen Huijie deliberately turned a blind eye and did not take the initiative to mention Rhodes Island Company's achievements in Originium disease.

"Expert in infected people?" Lin Qingyan chewed on the word.

She looked carefully and saw the emblem on the aircraft.

Triangle, castle.

This is where Fei Lin works.

Everything was such a coincidence that the one who held the thunder and lightning felt a kind of divine will.

She was stunned.

Seeing her expression, Jie Zhen said helplessly: "Master Lin, why bother?"

Chapter 136: Inconsistency between Words and Actions

"Rhodes Island requests landing! Carrying medical supplies!"

"Repeat! Rhodes Island requests landing! Carrying medical supplies!"

Seeing Lin Qingyan's questioning look, Chen Huijie rolled her eyes and replied, "Permitted to land."

I was about to hide it, and you immediately revealed yourself, right?

The aircraft attracted many curious glances, but it still flew towards the city in a swagger.

"Stinky otter, that female dragon is quite easy to talk to." The Sarkaz girl made the classic Terra hip thrust, looked at the aircraft in the sky, and leisurely communicated with Otto who was far away in the slums.

"Why are you relieved now?"

"How many men did Spoon (the centurion's name) bring with him? Even if you sleepwalk and they all die, it won't matter."

She said casually.

However, W has been a mercenary since she was old enough to understand. For her, this level of life and death is nothing new.

"No, I need you to rescue him." Ott added: "Rescue him, and then kill him with your own hands."

"Huh?" W said in disbelief. "Let's not even talk about how to save him, why do you want me to kill him myself after I save him?!"

"Only Pi can bring power and blessings." Otto replied, "You must kill that centurion because he has surpassed you, Hedley, and Inès. He has recruited a group of Sarkaz from your mercenary group in exchange for spoils of war to achieve his personal goals."

"I don't believe it." W said bluntly: "It sounds like all this is done for me, so I don't believe it!"

Ott was silent for a moment, then responded, "I do care about you."

The corners of Sarkaz's mouth curved up, and his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.

But Ott played steadily: "But you are right."

If someone reaches the final in advance, how will Crystal Palace open?

Kelsey?

Can Kal'tsit's matter be counted?

Some cats are born to...

W's eyes became fierce and she glared into the void.

"Hmph! I knew it!"

Stinky otter!

Die soon!

She cursed in her heart.

The other Sarkaz sitting in front of her was frightened by the vicious look.

He looked around, pulled another slightly thinner Sarkaz over from the side, and stood over himself.

"Are you ready?" Ott asked.

With a deep breath, W's cute buns also swelled up.

She closed her eyes, then made up her mind, thinking, "Come on! Face me head-on!"

As the saying goes, some words are often said in a joking way.

The number of Sarkaz that Centurion "Spoon" brought with him was not many, less than fifty in fact - it would be impossible to recruit more than that from the camp at will.

The number of Sarkaz that parachuted from the aircraft was even smaller, and including W himself, there were less than ten of them.

"Boss, what kind of flying machine is this? It's so fast!" The naive Sarkaz shouted and danced like a child.

and many more……

You really can't tell.

He continued to yell, "When are we going to get that screwdriver? Better yet, grab this aircraft! Then, boss, you sit in the front, and we'll all sit..."

Why is your accent changing?

"There's a battle to be fought, be serious."

Otto said to Huang and the Sarkaz at the same time.

Huang pouted, and his incredibly hot face was squeezed together with Amiya's face.

"understand!"

With the support of the guard camp and office fortifications, it is extremely easy for a master like Huang to break out of the "siege" of Faust and Mephistopheles.

This was Otto's current plan: to evacuate the Sarkaz troops outside the city, freeing up the attention of Chen Huijie and Wei Yanwu's close associates, so that they would have a chance to perceive Mephisto's mental state.

Amiya quickly took advantage of Huang's distraction and jumped out of her arms.

"The strategic goal of this operation is to delay the integration movement's actions."

Otto said this personally to Sharp, Graythroat, Huang, Earth Spirit and a group of passers-by operators.

"We can't let the Reunion actually capture this stronghold, nor can we let the Reunion successfully escape."

Ott specifically told Amiya, "There is no absolutely correct tactic in this world, but this tactic of wanting both, and even putting the chips on the enemy, is absolutely wrong for most people."

"Eh?"

Although this inconsistent behavior did not surprise Amiya, who had gradually become accustomed to it, it surprised the other operators who saw Otto's teaching for the first time.

The reason why the evil way is the evil way is that it is unstable but has a very high rate of return.

Ever since the hastily assembled spearhead team and Huang, the temporary commander-in-chief, "broke through", the defenses of the office and the guard camp have been appearing shaky.

Appear.

In fact, because Otto is now personally involved in the micro-management on the front line, even this kind of "juggling" with extremely high risks and dangerous factors has a very small risk of failure.
