"Come on, I won't be able to explain to the leader if we let this team go."

after an hour......

Dubin looked at the gradually darkening sky, raised his hand and looked at his watch, confirming that it was only morning in Ursus, not evening. Amiya followed beside her, looking at the sky with dark clouds over the sun, she could feel the emotions coming from above.

"——The sky is getting darker and darker, and the skyline seems to be pinched by clouds... The air is clear, but the dark clouds are motionless, as if they are drawing out all the oppressive feelings from everywhere and concentrating them in one place."

Amiya stretched out her hand to feel it, but she couldn't even feel the flow of wind.

Du Bin concluded: "The natural disaster is indeed, and it is about to befall this city." Then she looked at this mobile city that was originally built to avoid natural disasters with confusion. She knew very well what it meant for a mobile city to not move until a natural disaster approached, but there was still a doubt lingering in her mind, and Chen Huijie also had this doubt.

"Even if they want to split the mobile city, they should have started preparations weeks in advance. Could it be that... the Integration Movement had already planned to..."

"Not very realistic. The current integration movement does not demonstrate the elite force qualities needed for a secret takeover." ACE shook his head and denied Dubin's conjecture.

Chen Huijie thought of what she saw when she went to deliver supplies to the Reunion Movement, which was currently recuperating in Yan Country. A Wendigo led a large shield-bearing troop to repair equipment. According to her uncle, this was the most elite troop in Ursus - the Shield Guard. The other Reunion Movement soldiers also showed the feeling brought by years of fighting. If it was them, they should have the quality of an elite troop.

This guess was soon confirmed when a reconnaissance agent hurried back.

"There is an enemy light armored unit stationed ahead." Doberman and ACE, who were discussing the nature and leader of the Integration Movement, looked at each other and hurried to the front to observe. Chen Huijie and Amiya signaled the Rhodes Island team to stay on guard and quickly followed.

Four heads slowly poked out from the ruins, looking with some headache at the Integrated Movement Light Armored Forces defending across the road. After confirming the number of people on the opposite side and their garrison positions, they withdrew their gazes, leaned against the wall and began to discuss in a low voice.

ACE took out the map and looked at the evacuation route and said, "We can't avoid it. This is the shortest route on this path. If we take a detour, we will waste a lot of time."

Dubin has gone back to gather his men. "Then there's nothing to say. Whether they are pawns or thugs, we just need to drive them out of the battlefield."

Chen Huijie was studying the battle interface. She knew very well that it would be better to use a warlock operator against an armored force. It happened that she drew a three-star warlock, Steward, when she was doing her tenth draw.

She carefully read the battle prompts, which told her: "If you want to change the identity of an operator during a battle, you need to consume an energy called deployment cost. This energy can be restored over time, and can also be obtained through vanguard operators on the battlefield. And after each operator is replaced, you need to wait for a period of time before you can resume use. For example, after replacing Steward, SilverAsh needs to wait for 100 seconds of CD time before he can be replaced again."

After estimating the time and the transformable operators on hand, Chen Huijie chose to transform into Steward first to let SilverAsh enter the CD time. Amiya was no longer surprised, although she was still very curious why the doctor transformed into operators he should have never seen before, and she didn't even recognize the silver-haired Film.

Doberman and ACE soon came over with their team members. They quietly drew their weapons around the Integration Movement's defense line. The warlocks were also accumulating Originium skills to prepare to attack those with light armor first. Chen Huijie even used the combat videos and Lungmen coins obtained before to pull Stewart to level 24.

(When Le approached Wei Yanwu to discuss the use of Longmen coins as the currency in the Arknights game, Wei Yanwu was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days.)

But the next second, regardless of being exposed, ACE brother quickly stepped forward and used his shield to help a warlock operator block the crossbow arrows shot from other directions. The crossbow arrows hit the shield and splashed fierce sparks.

Doberman even shouted: "Enemy shooting! Be alert!" Amiya whispered worriedly: "This is... a trap..." Chen Huijie looked at the thick fog that continued to spread from the back and guessed that the other side should have a cadre who used the fog source stone technique.

The Rhodes Island team quickly built a defense line on the spot, forming a circle around themselves to defend against the Integration Movement that had surrounded them at some point.

Amiya stopped a guard operator who was on guard and asked quickly: "Where is the reconnaissance operator?!" The guard operator shook his head. They were surrounded and did not receive any warning from the reconnaissance operator. I am afraid that they have already...

In the thick fog, a red-haired woman holding a dagger and whose face could not be seen clearly walked out. Beside her, a member threw a blood-stained protective mask with a missing corner in front of them.

The red-haired woman said, "Rhodes Island? We have caught up with you. This time we will crush you to pieces."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Reunion Movement next to her rushed up waving weapons. Facing the encirclement of the Reunion Movement, the Rhodes Island team was like a lone boat in the ocean.

Dobin wielded a whip to whip away an unprepared Integration Movement, while commanding the sniper operators to suppress the enemy's charge. ACE took the heavy-armored operators to a defensive posture and stood at the forefront. Chen Huijie changed back to a silver-gray posture and rushed to the front with the guards and vanguards. Amiya commanded the warlocks to kill the lightly armored members.

But the enemy was too numerous and some members of the Rhodes Island team were already exhausted. Just when they were in trouble and Doberman was about to release a flare that had been hanging around his waist, a childish but hoarse voice rang out.

Chapter 17 Mephisto

"Wait a minute, wait a minute—"

Hearing this, the Kingslayer, who had been watching from the sidelines, looked at the direction where the voice came from and gestured for the Reunion Movement to retreat. Only then was the Rhodes Island team able to take a breath and rest.

Chen Huijie looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw an underage Liberi holding a staff and leading a team of Reunion Movement members rushing towards them. He felt that the man looked familiar and his heart sank to the bottom.

When the Liberian youth saw the King Slayer standing in front of him, he smiled and said, "After clearing out the Southeast Fortress, I heard about you and rushed over immediately. This place is now within my jurisdiction, King Slayer."

The Kingslayer was silent for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

The young man looked at the Rhodes Island team, his smile gradually becoming more dangerous, and he said word by word: "It's time to leave them to me, right?"

The Kingslayer remained silent for a long time before he asked again, "Mephisto?" as if he wanted to confirm whether he was serious.

Mephisto continued with a pure smile: "You have no reason to refuse, right? Some small insects that accidentally flew in... are they worth your personal pursuit? My troops have received your intelligence, and you have fulfilled your responsibility." Then he stepped back a few steps, turned his body to the side, and made a gesture of seeing off the guest.

"Next, please go back. After all, you are responsible for the core energy area and its periphery."

The Kingslayer stared at Mephistopheles, but Mephistopheles kept laughing heartlessly. The Kingslayer felt disgusted just by looking at his laughing face. She finally reminded Mephistopheles, "Do less unnecessary things!"

Mephisto only said one sentence casually, and the Kingslayer had to withdraw his troops. "You have other things to do, right?" The Kingslayer remembered the task given to her by the leader, snorted coldly, and left with her troops after saying "I can't wait to watch your miserable defeat", while Mephisto's troops took over the Kingslayer's troops.

What caught Amiya and the others' attention was that these new troops remained silent and their movements were very stiff, like zombies.

The Rhodes Island team watched this farce and did not dare to let down their guard. After all, the enemy's troops were still several times theirs. While they were on guard and resting secretly, wondering what the enemy was up to, the young man named Mephisto came up, bowed politely to them, and then said with a smile:

"Hey, the Kingslayer's tone has not been very polite. Please allow me to apologize on her behalf. You can call me 'Mephisto'."

Hearing this, Chen Huijie finally remembered that when she went to the Integration Movement base, she saw a Liberian boy with a bitter face writing something in a small room with an open door. There were several well-made musical instruments next to him. Tallulah, who took her to visit the territory, told her that the boy was called Ino.

The reason why she remembered him so clearly was that she had seen him at the announcement of the trilogy, and his stage name was Mephisto. The reason why she had never recognized him was that the innocent and well-behaved Ino was completely different from the Mephisto with a sick smile and an uncomfortable aura.

If that's the case, then there should be a young Fidelia next to him, whose name seems to be Sasha, or Faust? She remembered that the other party seemed to be using... a crossbow? !

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie secretly felt that something was not right, because they were still on Chernobyl Street, surrounded by tall buildings, which was very suitable for crossbowmen to fight at high altitudes.

At this time, Amiya and Mephisto also broke down their talks, and Dobin fired the flare without hesitation. Mephisto shouted arrogantly, "Noble guests, I am honored to invite you to participate in this game." With a wave of the scepter, those stiff-moving Integration Movement troops shouted "Ah...ah...", "Kill...kill...them" and rushed up like a tide.

Just as the Rhodes Island team was engaging the enemy, Mephisto calmly came up to Chen Huijie, who was knocking down a member of the Reunion Movement in a silver-gray posture, and stared at him with a weird smile.

After looking for a while, Mephisto withdrew his gaze as if he had confirmed something, and said to Amiya, who was obviously the team leader and had summoned another spell to attack one of his subordinates: "Actually, we know what you did in the core area." Amiya widened her eyes in surprise when she heard this, and Chen Huijie also kept this sentence in mind.

Mephisto saw Amiya looking at her, smiled, turned his head and gestured to Chen Huijie who was fighting on the side, and said: "The guy you rescued from the core area, who can mimic the appearance of others... makes people... very concerned. I am very curious about what my skills can turn him into."

Chen Huijie thought of the word that Talulah said when she introduced Sasha's Originium skills, Originium activation. She had vaguely guessed the reason why these members of the Integration Movement were so stiff. This made her feel angry and she couldn't help but touch the place where she was originally infected with Originium.

Mephisto walked up leisurely surrounded by his subordinates, and the Rhodes Island team had to retreat step by step. As he walked, he raised one hand and pointed accurately at Chen Huijie who was fighting in the crowd and said:

"The King Slayer only cares about what you're going to do and where you're going. I'm different. I only care about... what are you? Where do you come from? I can't even feel any Originium reaction in your body. This is really interesting."

Amiya's heart skipped a beat. Can one feel the reaction of the Originium in the human body? Doesn't that mean...

Mephistopheles didn't care about all that. He noticed that Chen Huijie was staring at him, which made him feel even more excited.

“Yes, you, right now, you who are staring at me… I can feel that you are a little different from us.

What kind of device in that facility has the ability to preserve life?"

Mephisto became more and more cheerful, his steps became more cheerful, and his smile became more and more morbid.

"I'm very, very curious~~!"

Mephisto stopped and raised his staff. His men rushed forward with roars as if stimulated, and their strength increased, putting even greater pressure on the Rhodes Island team's defense line.

Mephisto whispered to the Rhodes Island team with a relaxed look. "I'm not a cold-blooded person... Come on, guests from Rhodes Island, leave this person to me as a gift? In that case, although it's regrettable, I can let you go, okay?"

But all that was left for him was the Rhodes Island team struggling to hold up the defense.

Chapter 18: The Knight of Glory Arrives

Faced with Mephisto's overwhelming troops and their fearless attacks, Rhodes Island's defense circle became smaller and smaller. Operators were injured and forced to retreat from time to time. Then other operators further contracted their defense circles and were under greater pressure.

Du Bin looked at the breakthrough point she had found, but due to lack of manpower, she could only take a defensive stance and was unable to break through. As for the doctor who had originally placed high hopes on the commander, Du Bin looked at Chen Huijie who was fighting crazier than anyone else on the front line, and sighed imperceptibly. Sometimes she didn't know whether the decision to rescue the doctor was right or wrong.

Amiya wiped the sweat from using spells for a long time and comforted everyone firmly. "Please hold on a little longer. Use firepower to suppress the enemy shooters first. The enemy vanguard will be dealt with by our warlocks."

But her voice was soon drowned out by Mephisto's crazy laughter, and the other party pointed excitedly with his staff: "That's right, that's right! That's it! Next, f3, e5." The noise was so loud that Dupin cursed in a low voice, "You disgusting kid."

Mephisto then issued several orders in succession, and ACE, Amiya and others could only respond based on their own experience. The doctor, who was originally in charge of the command, cooperated with her feathered beasts on the front line like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and fought even more vigorously, forcing Mephisto to mobilize a large number of troops to suppress them.

In the end, Mephisto successfully hid the Warlock behind a large shield and dealt a heavy blow to the unsuspecting members of the Rhodes Island team. This caused a small number of operators to lose their combat effectiveness. Thanks to the timely reinforcements from ACE and Chen Huijie, the defense line was not breached.

Seeing that his command had achieved results, Mephisto became more and more crazy. While shouting for Rhodes Island to die, he released his Originium skills to overdraw the vitality of his subordinates, allowing his subordinates' overall strength to reach a new level, trying to expand his results.

Amiya looked at Mephisto in shock. He could issue such precise instructions just by using chess moves. She could feel that these infected people had lost their minds and were left with only anger and pain. However, they perfectly executed all of Mephisto's orders, and they were becoming increasingly unable to resist. She knew very well that if this continued, Mephisto would maximize the advantage of his command, and they could have had an opponent for all of this.

Amiya looked at the Doctor who was fighting bloody battle with some disappointment. It would have been great if the Doctor had not lost his memory and become strange. Otherwise, with the Doctor's command ability, he could have completely crushed Mephisto and led them to another victory.

Just as Amiya and Doberman were racking their brains for a solution, Chen Huijie suddenly raised her head. She could feel that a high-energy Originium reaction was approaching rapidly. She looked in that direction, but saw only a hammer flying towards her at an extremely fast speed. She was so startled that she subconsciously dodged.

Then, a Reunion member who was trying to launch a sneak attack on her flew high into the air, and several other Reunion members behind him who were caught off guard fell to the ground together with him.

This change of events naturally confused Mephisto, because he did not see why those subordinates flew over. He could only ask his companions in confusion: "...... Um... What happened? How come someone... was knocked flying."

At this time, he finally discovered that there was a deep hammer mark on the chest of the Reunion member who was knocked away. Looking at the hammer mark, Mephisto was a little confused: "What... is this?"

Chen Huijie, who had barely dodged the flying hammer, stared with wide eyes at the Reunion member who was hit. The deep hammer mark on his chest told her that this person was doomed to die. She was filled with fear. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have died here during her first resurrection.

Then her battle system sent out an alarm. "Alarm! Alarm! An unknown person with unpredictable strength is detected approaching, please pay attention." This made her look at the strength of Mephisto and ACE. They were both at the elite stage 1st level. How strong must they be to make the battle system send out an alarm?

Then she saw a beam of light approaching rapidly from the sky, and to her shock, the light revealed a person's name: Lin Guang, Elite Stage 70 Level .

The light quickly fell to the place where the hammer had just landed, and then the light dissipated, and a Kuranta wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand emerged.

"Your speed is much slower than I estimated. I even took care of the civilians." Lin Guang sighed as he casually cast three healing spells on the three operators with more serious injuries.

Chen Huijie looked at the powerful figure of the other party, and thought of the fact that she was only a five-star heavy tank and a healer in the operator shop. Chen Huijie suddenly doubted whether Yin Jiao could make games at all. (角! I want this.jpg)

Amiya and the others were so surprised that they almost cried. Seeing that he was about to make the little rabbit cry, Lin Guang hurried to Amiya's side and knocked away several Reunion soldiers on the way. One of them even flew next to Mephisto.

Seeing his subordinates being killed instantly, Mephisto was also confused. Who was this? A cheater broke into the game? This seemed to require the leader to take action, right?

"Amiya, I'm here. I'm glad you're okay. Let's evacuate quickly." Lin Guang bent down and tried to smile, looking at Amiya as friendly as possible and said with a smile.

Dobin was now completely relieved. Fortunately, he brought Lin Guang with him on this battle.

After comforting Amiya, Lin Guang stood up and cast the already cooled healing spell on all members of the Rhodes Island team. After restoring their conditions to a better state, he responded to Doberman.

"The positioning of the flare is very effective. At least my hammer throwing is quite accurate." After hearing Lin Guang say this, Chen Huijie realized that she was standing right where Doberman launched the flare, which almost caused her to lose a blood to a hammer. This made her even more shocked by this Kuranta. What a precise positioning and throwing ability.

At this time, Lin Guang finally noticed Chen Huijie, who was still dressed in silver-gray, and walked over and said seriously: "I guess you are the doctor? Shining Knight Lin Guang is here to greet you."

Hearing the name of Yao Knight, Chen finally remembered who this Kuranta was. Thanks to the communication platform established by Yinjiao and the strong promotion of the Chamber of Commerce, Chen can learn about Casimir's Knight Competition without leaving home.

The serious-looking and powerful Kuranta woman in front of him was the champion of the 22nd Casimir Knight Tournament, the single-word titled Knight of Glory, Margaret Linguang.

Chapter 19 Breakout

Just when everyone in Rhodes Island was chatting happily, Mephisto, who was tactically ignored, finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, asking how long these people would ignore him, even though the weapons of those basic combat members were always aimed at him and his subordinates.

"So, what's the matter with you, woman? Why did you break into the hunting ground that I carefully arranged?" Mephisto pointed at Lin Guang and roared in dissatisfaction. Lin Guang, who was talking to Chen Huijie, finally noticed this hideous-looking Liberian boy.

Lin Guang temporarily put the hammer in Chen Huijie's hand, and then looked at Chen Huijie's waist bent down due to the sudden heavy object with some confusion. His action of pointing his finger at Mephisto came to an abrupt stop. He had to pick up the hammer first, otherwise the doctor's (Chen Huijie) waist might be broken by her.

After giving the doctor another healing spell, Lin Guang raised the hammer while Chen Huijie was shocked as she was wondering how this woman could throw such a heavy hammer so far so easily. He pointed at Mephisto and rebuked him:

"I have witnessed with my own eyes that the Reunion soldiers who suppressed the Chernobog military facilities were as efficient as machines, while the group you are leading now are like mentally deranged thugs." Lin Guang recalled the two completely different groups of Reunion soldiers she had seen, especially the atrocities committed by Mephisto's men.

"Massacre, arson, hunting... are just to satisfy your own low-level and boring taste. People who can instigate such abhorrent things at this time cannot plan a plan that can defeat the city." Lin Guang seriously belittled Mephisto's command ability, which made Mephisto's expression more and more ferocious.

"From this, it can be seen that your commander most likely ordered you to create chaos, and you acted recklessly in accordance with your own disgusting and low taste." Lin Guang finally defined Mephisto's hobby, and Mephisto suddenly began to laugh, and then whispered an order in a voice that even Lin Guang could hardly hear.

"Faust, punch her mouth through."

Chen Huijie, who understood Mephisto's lip language and knew that the other party had a sniper partner, immediately warned: "Be careful, the other party has a sniper!"

Lin Guang also felt the danger approaching rapidly at this time. She aimed at the direction where the danger was coming from and swung her left arm. A crossbow arrow emitting purple light was knocked away by her shield.

"Blocked Faust's ballista? With just a shield?"

Mephisto looked at all this and found it a little hard to accept. In his impression, even his leader did not dare to face Faust's purple crossbow directly and could only use the Originium technique to burn it. He even saw the shadow of the Patriot in Lin Guang, and to him, they were both equally powerful and incredibly powerful.

But Lin Guang was not feeling well at this time. She frowned and felt the numbness in her left hand. She looked at the scratches on the shield. If this kind of attack happened a few more times, she was not sure that her people would not get hurt.

"It's time to retreat, Doctor, Doberman." Lin Guang was already considering retreating. The order she received from Kal'tsit was only to ensure that the Rhodes Island team evacuated safely. She did not want to waste time getting involved in the conflict between Ursus and the infected.

On the other side, Mephisto did not intend to let Lin Guang go, and roared at Faust to continue to beat the woman into pieces. In the dark, Faust, who had moved to another place, did not say a word, but just pointed the crossbow in his hand at a medical operator of the Rhodes Island team and pulled the trigger.

"This time it's on the right?!" Lin Guang naturally noticed the crossbow arrow, but it was too late to protect the medical operator who was far away from her.

Fortunately, ACE was near the medical operator, and he shouted "Don't even think about it" and blocked the crossbow arrow with his shield. Without waiting for the force to be released, he directed the sniper operators to aim at the direction of the crossbow arrow and fire a volley from the high platform on the south side.

Faust looked at the crossbow arrow shot at him, and silently hid behind the cover. As soon as he hid in the cover, a crossbow arrow flew over his head.

Mephisto became extremely angry as he watched the crossbow arrows shot at his companions. He roared at his men to charge forward and tear them into pieces.
