Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Right now, I am just... an infected person."

"You..." Bai Ye hadn't expected that this person would be so impulsive.

“The army of the Ursus Empire slaughtered my parents and took away my family… I can’t sleep without exhausting myself every day, because if I have any spare time, the nightmares and hatred of the past will overwhelm me. I have to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow to make sure I don’t have nightmares.”

Aya's tone was calm, as if she were talking about something completely unrelated to herself. However, Baiye knew that she was serious.

“You need a doctor, right? I know that. Both the Shield Guard and the Yeti are short of field medics. I can fill that role temporarily. I want to witness and confront my past nightmares firsthand.”

As Aya spoke, she stared intently at Byakuya.

“…I understand.” Bai Ye nodded. “Take care of yourself. On the battlefield, I don’t have time to pay attention to others.”

"Don't underestimate me. Also, don't tell my teacher about this." Aya had her own thoughts; this was purely a personal grudge and had nothing to do with Rhodes Island.

“Then put on the Reunion mask.” Bai Ye nodded. “Don’t expose yourself.”

Honestly, he didn't know whether he should stop Aya.

However, in the end, he chose to respect Aya's decision, even if it was somewhat reckless and might even lead to facing Dr. Kal'tsit's wrath.

……

"set off!"

White Night has once again gathered the players.

He led a large contingent of five men rushing towards the scene of the incident.

Although Team 5 was a bit bloated and the players were somewhat disorganized, they were not slow.

Bai Ye unleashed a group speed boost using Originium Arts, enveloping all the players in the wind. Their steps were light, and they moved swiftly across the snow.

The sword sheath, serving as a spellcasting staff, once again performed reliably, allowing Bai Ye to handle even when casting spells on so many individuals simultaneously with ease.

Of course, this is also because after Bai Ye increased his personal level, he raised all his attributes to over 50 points.

Normal players cannot do this.

Because Bai Ye gains more attribute points per level than the player, he can afford to allocate those points evenly.

After his mental attributes improved, Bai Ye could clearly feel the enhancement of his innate magic, as if he had grasped a portion of the Wind God's authority.

To the players' astonishment, Bai Ye was flying almost touching the ground, his feet nearly dangling from the air.

Perhaps, he is already able to fly.

He just hasn't realized it yet.

……

When Bai Ye arrived with the players, the Yeti Shield Guards and Infected who were on reconnaissance missions were already surrounded by the enemy.

However, to Bai Ye's surprise, although these enemies were numerous, they were not particularly strong.

This does not match the description given by the Yeti who came to inform us, which claimed that they were able to "directly find and accurately attack our scout sorcerer."

"Quickly divide the battlefield and stop the other troops."

Bai Ye gave the order to the players, then charged towards the reconnaissance team.

"Are you all alright?!" Bai Ye's feet landed on the ground, splashing up a few snowflakes.

"Thankfully, no one has died." The shield guards held up their shields, but seemed wary of something. They looked around cautiously.

Bai Ye frowned as he looked at the soldiers surrounding the infected.

These enemies were clearly soldiers of the Empire, yet they tore off their unit numbers and army group insignia from their uniforms, thus concealing their identities.

"Let me see whose dogs you really are!"

Bai Ye took a deep breath.

Chapter Seventeen: The Eagle's Edge

Bai Ye stood alone in front of the shield guards, facing dozens of enemies surrounding them.

More troops were kept out by the players.

On the sword sheath behind Bai Ye, the casting unit began to flash with a deep blue light.

……

"Is the big boss about to unleash his ultimate move?!"

"Happy Wind Man!"

"Is that the glowing thing behind it the Eye of God?"

Why are you everywhere?

Because the players and other enemies are still in a standoff, they even have the leisure to watch White Night's performance.

Because players record every video of Bai Ye's actions, they have a wealth of information about him. The Valletta Society even produced a video analysis to speculate on the skills and spells Bai Ye possesses.

Most players now know that the prelude to Bai Ye's spellcasting always begins with the glowing of the scabbard on his back.

……

However, this time, Bai Ye didn't make as much of a show as before. He simply raised his hand and made a fist out of thin air.

Nothing seems to happen.

A moment later, the enemies standing in front of him began to suffer excruciating pain. They clutched their throats and struggled desperately, like fish thrown ashore.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

Bai Ye knew that other enemies seemed to be hiding in the darkness, and these people in front of him were just bait to stop them.

Even the soldiers of those outer army groups are just appetizers; the players can hold them off for a while. The most crucial point is that they still haven't appeared.

"What happened to them? How did you do that?"

The shield guards behind Bai Ye were somewhat puzzled by the unusual behavior of these enemies.

They hadn't made any contact, yet they seemed to be attacked by something.

"Lack of oxygen. Mechanical asphyxiation." Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged, seemingly oblivious to the horrific scene before him.

After Bai Ye improved his mental attributes and Originium Arts skill level, he was able to precisely control the airflow around these people, causing them to fall into a state of oxygen deprivation.

Even Super Terrans need oxygen to sustain life. This is especially useful when facing lower-level mobs.

In order to force out the enemy hiding in the shadows, Bai Ye chose to make the enemies in front of him experience a painful suffocation process. They would not die immediately. In fact, because of the robust physique of the Super Terrans and soldiers, the pain they had to endure was even longer.

"Hush-huh-"

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes.

He heard it; from the snow came low, deep breathing.

That was the sound of breathing through the mask and life support device.

Bai Ye clenched his fist again, and blood spurted from the enemies' necks. Bai Ye had slit their throats from a distance, sending them straight to meet Theresa.

This can be considered as relieving them from the painful lack of oxygen and suffocation.

Bai Ye ignored the red blood scattering in the snow.

He turned his gaze to the distance.

White Night saw black snow.

White flakes fell from the gray sky, turning black before hitting the ground, then shattering and scattering like ink dots on rice paper.

It seems as if a painter from the Yan Kingdom has spontaneously wielded a wolf-hair brush.

Bai Ye's expression turned serious.

"It's them. Why would ordinary infected attract these guys...? Is it because of Talulah's identity? Or... the Black Serpent?"

"There's more than one. Damn it, we've run into these guys beforehand."

Bai Ye breathed in the cold air, which gradually calmed his mind.

Slowly, Bai Ye drew "Arc Light" from behind his back. The blade of the one-handed sword gleamed with a cold light, which made his heart feel more and more at ease.

Show yourself.

"The Emperor's Inner Guard of the Ursus Empire."

Bai Ye called out into the deep darkness in the distance.

Yes, it's daytime now, and even the shadows of the bushes wouldn't create such darkness.

"What--!"

As Bai Ye finished speaking, it was the shield guards behind him who were the first to waver.

"Inner Guard! How could this be! Mr. Bai Ye, are you joking?"

Although he couldn't see their expressions, Bai Ye knew that the expressions under the shield guards' helmets must be quite interesting at this moment.

"What a pity, I'm serious now." Bai Ye wasn't joking; he didn't want to face such a troublesome enemy right now.

They are powerful and difficult to deal with.

Moreover, even if you kill them, you will face a terrible "deathrattle" attack.

Very disgusting.

However, when the emperor's personal guards appeared, he was forced to confront these formidable enemies.

Although her physical attributes are not as good as Skadi's, Byakuya possesses powerful Originium Arts...

"It feels like it might work?" Bai Ye himself wasn't quite sure.

It's difficult to measure one's current strength by the standards of one's past life.

Suddenly, the air distorted.

Bai Ye witnessed a black "spear" slicing through the air, traversing the vast snowfield, and shooting straight towards him.

"boom"

Bai Ye waved his hand, and layers of compressed wind walls instantly rose up. Bai Ye infused his spirit into them, and the black spear struck the air shield, shattering instantly.

At the same time, Bai Ye's mind was also impacted, but his will was firm and his mental attributes were strong, so the impact could not shake him in the slightest.

"It's really them!"

The shield guards' eyes narrowed.

How could the scoundrels raised by the empire be here!

Shouting, the shield guards slammed their giant shields into the ground, embedding them directly into the solid frozen soil.

"Shieldbearers, rearrange your formation! Protect the other soldiers!"

"Remember this, remember this! Don't give him even the slightest opening!"

The shield guard leader's voice was somewhat hoarse, but he continued to roar.

Then he looked at Bai Ye: "Mr. Bai Ye, come in quickly!"

As the most important partners of the Reunion Movement, they must ensure the safety of White Night.

……

"hiss--"

"You did block it."

"You are not infected, nor are you the person we are looking for."

"Another fruitless effort. The information networks in these three cities should be dismantled. They're utterly useless."

The emperor's personal guards have appeared.

only one person.

He was unusually tall, wearing a black overcoat and a black mask on his head, with pipes connecting the back of his head.

A military knife was hanging from his waist.

"The Faceless Lich of Ursus", "The Emperor's Blade", "The Masked Saber Man"...
