What happened to the Delta Force? It turned into Arknights!

Han Fei heard his teammates talking behind him, but he wasn't in the mood to speak.

He was now more concerned about something else—had it gone bad after all this time?!

Theoretically speaking, it should have rotted.

Based on the time it took for Zhou to fall, so much time has passed, he's been stinking for several rounds, let alone one!

However, Terra and GTI special operations operators really can't be compared.

The latter's main problem is muscle weakness; which special forces operator can't run for a minute?

The former, on the other hand, is a genuine Terra Superman. Not to mention characters like Blaze and Saria, who specialize in bungee jumping without ropes. The distance they jump from is enough to kill a GTI player eight times over, but Terra Superman is completely unharmed, landing alive and kicking, heading straight for the battlefield.

Furthermore, a game in the continent takes at most half an hour, while a game in him now takes almost a week.

Shouldn't the time it took for him to fall to the ground be extended?

That's why.

It's hard to say whether Hadley smells bad right now; maybe he's already smelling bad, or maybe he can still be saved.

After some time, the group emerged from the valley.

Han Fei looked around and it took him a while to find Hedley.

He jogged over, immediately stabbed himself with the hormone gun, and heard a beeping sound.

Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Terra Superman was indeed different; this didn't even smell bad.

The loading time was indeed long, considering he was shot down in one shot by an AWM.

About half a minute passed amidst the beeping of the emergency call.

Finally, the monotonous and rhythmic electronic sound stopped.

Hadley, who had been lifeless like a stone statue, trembled very slightly.

The movement was so subtle as to be almost imperceptible, like the unconscious murmur of a sleeping person, yet it clearly indicated that the flame of life had been rekindled.

Han Fei put away the hormone gun, took a few steps back, and said, "You talk to him. Don't disappoint me."

After saying that, he walked away, looking like he didn't want to get involved.

Han Fei, of course, did not immediately trust Ines.

In fact, Han Fei knew very well that if he were there, the two of them would never discuss those important topics in front of him.

In that case, we might as well create an environment where they feel safe. That way, Texas might even hear some important intelligence.

Texas understood Han Fei's intention and listened intently to their conversation.

Apart from the slight breeze, there was no other sound. Thanks to Lupo's talent, Texas could hear the conversation on the other side clearly.

Remy was more decisive than Texas; she simply raised her hand, held up the AWM, and used the high-powered scope to observe the two men's every move.

Ines and Hadley did not talk for long; after only a few minutes, they ended their conversation.

Han Fei saw Ines turn around and walk over, and asked, "Did you hear any important information?"

Texas shook her head and said, "No, she just talked to the man about the oath, explained why he was saved, and gave him some words of persuasion, that's all."

Han Fei was somewhat surprised and said, "That's all?"

"Ah."

Texas nodded slightly. "I'm pretty sure I heard the whole conversation."

Han Fei naturally trusted Texas, so he turned to Remian and said, "Sister An, what about you? Did you see their little tricks?"

"No."

Remian pulled her face away from the scope and said, "I didn't see any whispering or hand gestures; they seemed pretty well-behaved."

"That's strange, is he really that honest?" Han Fei said in surprise.

“It’s normal for her to be honest, right?” Remule asked, puzzled. “After all, she has the witchcraft of that king of the royal court.”

As she spoke, Ines had already returned to Han Fei, and said calmly, "I have persuaded Hadley, and he will not cause you any more trouble."

"Is it that simple?" Han Fei blurted out instinctively.

Ines sighed, "Because we don't want to fight each other."

"If he really wants to take revenge on you, then based on my loyalty to you, I must protect you. At that time, we can only kill each other."

“I don’t want to see that happen, and neither does he.”

"It's that simple."

After she finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the air. Ines looked at the silent Han Fei, and seemed to guess the lingering doubt in his heart.

She took half a step forward, her voice carrying an almost cold calmness:

"Want to test the power of an oath?"

Han Fei was indeed somewhat curious about this oath, and without much thought, he immediately nodded and said, "Let's give it a try."

"it is good."

The instant Ines responded, her body seemed to react even faster than her mind—her right hand flashed towards her waist.

It was an instinctive action to draw a weapon, even though her weapon had long been confiscated and had not been returned to her, she still instinctively reached for her waist.

This is a habit honed through countless battles.

The moment the hand was extended, a piercing scream, so shrill it was inhuman, suddenly tore through the air.

An excruciating pain, as if pierced by millions of red-hot steel needles from the deepest part of one's soul and torn apart by an invisible giant hand, erupted without warning.

The pain was so intense, so pure, that it instantly destroyed all of Ines's will and strength. It was as if all her bones had been removed, and her legs could no longer support her as her knees slammed heavily into the ground.

Ines's body curled up uncontrollably, convulsing and trembling violently, like a withered leaf on the verge of breaking in a storm.

Cold sweat instantly soaked her forehead, and she bit her lower lip tightly, but she still couldn't stop the painful sobs that came from the depths of her throat, as if her soul was being torn apart.

"hiss."

Seeing Ines's miserable appearance, Han Fei subconsciously gasped.

The horrific scene before him demonstrated to him, more directly and terrifyingly than any words, the cold, cruel, and chillingly absolute binding force contained in that oath.

Han Fei quickly said, "Alright, alright, no need to try anymore."

Ines remained silent; she wanted to tell Han Fei that this punishment was not something she could simply stop at will.

However, the immense pain prevented her from uttering a single complete sentence; only painful whimpers like those of a young animal could be heard from her throat.

Just then, heavy footsteps approached.

Han Fei looked up and saw that it was Hedley who had returned.

The latter looked at Ines, who was curled up on the ground, and said with a solemn expression, "She has already told me about that oath."

"Well, what next."

Han Fei looked at Hadley without changing his expression. "What do you want to say?"

"I want to tell you, don't treat her like that."

Hedley looked up and stared into Han Fei's eyes. "Ms. Lamarle Ducanfaris has guaranteed her loyalty, so why treat a loyal subordinate like this?"

"uh-huh?"

Han Fei met Hadley's gaze without flinching or avoiding it, and said, "First of all, I did not bully her. She is trying to dispel my last concern, namely, whether Lady Ramalyn's witchcraft can really restrain her behavior."

"It now appears to be effective."

"Secondly, this is not under my control, but rather a matter of the binding force of the oath."

"Finally, I have always been lenient and kind to my loyal subordinates, so you don't need to worry about that, and you don't need to teach me how to do it."

The barrage of responses silenced Hadley. After a long pause, he took a step back and suddenly adopted an unprecedentedly sincere tone, saying:

"Please, as a personal request, take good care of her."

After saying this, Hadley bowed deeply, then turned and left.

Looking at Hedley's departing figure, Remuel sighed, "I have to say, boss, we've become a bit like the bad guys."

"What's wrong with it?"

Han Fei glanced at Remule, his expression unchanged, and said casually, "If I hadn't blocked that arrow that day, would you still have these thoughts after your sister was ambushed and hit by the arrow?"

"Uh, you're right."

Reminded by Han Fei, Remy immediately recalled the scene from that day, her expression instantly changed, and the trace of pity in her eyes vanished.

Her memory isn't that bad; she wouldn't be so bad as to forget what happened in the last two days.

Remule still remembers it all; they hadn't even seen Ines's face before they were ambushed by one of her sentries with an arrow.

If Han Fei hadn't acted quickly, that arrow wouldn't have shattered Han Fei's autistic head, but rather Remian's little head.

"That arrow back then was the cause, and the current situation is the effect. There's nothing more to say."

Han Fei turned his gaze away and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's go back to the valley first. After thanking Ms. Lamaren, we should head to the Tower of Babel."

Kazdel is a rather large place, and it's unlikely that Han Fei would be able to visit the mobile city of Kazdel.

—That place is only a place to drop off packages and evacuate.

The only option is to go to the Tower of Babel. There is a power-off evacuation point in front of the Tower of Babel, and there are also abundant supplies inside. It is much better than that mobile city called Kazdel.

just.

Han Fei looked down at Ines and frowned, saying, "Is this punishment not over yet?"

Judging from her current state, she probably can't even move.

Strictly speaking, Ines didn't even complete the action just now, since she didn't have any weapons on her; it was more like she had the idea.

As a result, it was this one thought that led her to this state.

That's pretty impressive. Lamaren's witchcraft is truly worthy of someone who is one of the "Six Heroes" and the ruler of the royal court.

"How about we take her back first?" Remy suggested.

"feasible."

Han Fei reached out and once again hoisted Ines onto his shoulder as if carrying a sack of grain.

The pain was directed at the soul, not at the physical wounds; touching her would not necessarily worsen Ines's pain.

Before long, the team returned to the valley.

Han Fei put Ines down and said, "Ms. Lamaren, I would like to ask how this punishment should be ended?"

The shadows rippled like water, and Ramalen's figure silently appeared, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible surprise: "Oh? You've already crossed the line of your vow so quickly?"

"It wasn't exactly a voluntary act of defiance,"

Han Fei scratched his head and explained, "She wanted me to see with my own eyes how strong the binding force of an oath is, and that's how it turned out."

He pointed to Ines, who was still in pain on the ground: "So, how do we stop this punishment?"

Lamarle's gaze seemed to pierce through the veil and land on Ines. After a moment, she understood: "There is no other way but time can soothe this burning pain from the soul. The deeper her transgression, the longer the punishment will last."

"Ok."

Han Fei sighed, thinking to himself that now it was up to Ines to decide, and he hoped that she hadn't planned on doing something outrageous.

He set that matter aside for the moment and brought up the important matter: "Well then, Ms. Ramalyn, we are about to set off for the Tower of Babel. Is there anything you need to convey? We can act as messengers for now."

"Going to the Tower of Babel..." Ramalyn's voice was as gentle as the night breeze. "I do have some words I want to say to Theresa, and also, to my child."

She paused slightly, as if choosing her words carefully: "If you don't mind, you might as well stay overnight in the valley. It's already dark, and danger lurks everywhere under the cover of night in Kazdel."

Her words carried a calming power: "I will order all the female demons of the royal court to remain silent and still. You may all rest here in peace. We will meet again at dawn tomorrow, and then take my letter to the Tower of Babel. What do you say?"

Han Fei looked at his teammates behind him.

Han Fei did not answer immediately, but turned to look at his companions behind him.

Remuel still acted like she was in charge, smiling as she linked arms with Remuel.

Texas, sword in hand, calmly met Han Fei's gaze, her eyes silently conveying support—regardless of his decision.

After a brief moment of thought, Remyane nodded gently and said softly, "I have no objection. You can decide for me."
