Hello, Arknights

Chapter 376 Support

This was the first time that Frost Star left the land of Ursus and set foot on a foreign land. It was also the first time that he saw the world outside the country that was covered with ice and snow all year round.

On the way, she saw many things she had never heard of or seen before. When leaving, Tallulah told her not to make a fuss and to focus on the mission, but she really couldn't resist the new things that came one after another. Unable to hide her curiosity, she was as lively as a child who had not seen much of the world in the eyes of the Yeti team.

She should have had such youth, but reality is always unsatisfactory.

"...Sister Frost Star seems to be a very cute girl." Yang Ge, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly expressed his feelings. The other members of the Snow Monster Team agreed with him. In the past, Yelena always had a stern face on the ice field. The pain brought by the mineral disease, hunger, and the death of her comrades were all the reasons why her smile was restrained.

But he seemed to ignore the fact that the person he was talking about was also present.

"Yang Ge, you might be even cuter if you can say that." Frost Star smiled and the temperature in the car dropped sharply. Big Bear, who was driving, couldn't help but yell about being cold. Considering safety issues, Frost Star just pinched Yang Ge's shoulder hard to threaten him, and then continued to look out the window.

"Sister, is White Dove also in Rhodes Island, which is cooperating with us this time?" In order to change the subject, Yang Ge mentioned his former companion again.

Frost Star was lost in thought when she heard this. How long had it been since she had seen the man they were talking about? She still remembered everything he had told her, which made her look up at the dimly lit night sky, her gaze rising from her feet, towards the horizon of her future.

She always had a feeling that he seemed to have come to Ursus specifically to change some fate, but it was too absurd and fantastical, unless he knew what would happen from the beginning.

To drag the inner guards, fight the weirdness, and curb the evil dragon flame of Chernobog, she also chose him at the critical decision point.

She couldn't help but want to get closer to that somewhat legendary man, but there was one thing that still bothered her. When Bai Ge first saw her, it seemed that the shadow of another person was reflected in his eyes.

Seeing that the eldest sister was silent, the snow monsters knew that she was thinking about something and stopped disturbing her. Big Bear concentrated on driving and following the Red Knife Squad's convoy. Soon, they saw the people who were going to pick them up.

The scenery behind the flag with the Rhodes Island logo was no longer pleasant, and the Snow Monster Team felt a heavy sense of oppression.

"Hello, I'm Outcast from Rhodes Island."

"Reunion Movement, I'm Frost Star, he's Red Blade."

"Friends from Reunion... no time for pleasantries. We hope you can help us set up a temporary camp for the infected. We need enough military force to eliminate the threat." The first one to come forward was Outcast. His serious expression quickly got the Reunion team into shape.

"Threat? Victoria's bloody war is still not under control?" Hongdao pulled his coat and couldn't help but become more alert.

"Didn't you encounter those monsters all the way into Victoria?" The Rhodes Island operator at the side was surprised.

"No, the refugees did see some, but they didn't see any of the monsters that were rumored." Frost Star shook her head.

"…Rivets, maps."

The Rhodes Island operator who was summoned immediately brought a topographic map of the surrounding area. The elder Sakota spread it out and asked seriously, "Could you please mark the route you took on the map?"

"No problem," Yang Ge quickly drew a striking route with a marker. The knowledge level of the Snow Monster Team had not yet been improved in the integration movement that had just started, and Frost Star could not replace Yang Ge in the task of terrain survey.

"...You guys are on this road... Come here, Rivet, what's the name of the nearest position?"

"Wait a moment, Ms. Outcast. This is... Changquan Town in Xiaoqiu County."

"...something happened." Outcast immediately made a judgment. The doctor was taking Huang and her team to Xiaoqiu County to search for the missing Rhodes Island stationed operators, and the abnormal distribution of blood-colored monsters undoubtedly indicated that they seemed to be gathering in the Xiaoqiu County area. The situation was very bad!

"Friends of the Reunion Movement, do you have experience setting up camps for the infected? No, your emergency response skills for the infected are not as good as ours..."

"We can provide military support." Hong Dao saw her concerns and said concisely.

"Mr. Red Knife, you haven't seen those monsters yet... We might be able to handle them, but for ordinary warriors... they're not suitable for a head-on confrontation.

"Especially in close combat, they are very dangerous killing machines."

Froststar glanced at the horizon and seemed to see some disturbing signals. She immediately made a decision: "Captain Red Knife, you and your team stay here. I'm good at dealing with large numbers of enemies. I'll take half of the Yeti team and join Rhodes Island in the reconnaissance and rescue operation."

"...Okay, I understand. I'll come and support you as soon as things stabilize here."

……

Changquan Town, crumbling fortifications.

Even though the blood tide's blow was more severe than expected, the Infested Legion managed to hold on, thanks to Horn and Madeline's emergency reorganization of the team.

After being infected, warriors with defensive Originium skills took turns to withstand the bloody charge from bottom to top, while the infected with long-range attack capabilities were a minority, and they also stood on the specially built high platform to provide gap support, delay and focus fire on special individuals. The main casualties were still caused by the heavy firepower brought by the team from the Xiaoqiu County garrison, mobilized by Horn and others.

There were also various Deep Pool Wizards in the rear who could use Originium crafts to reinforce and repair fortifications - only Rafushini's team had this number of outstanding wizards who could take on this task - but the monsters broke through the bottom fortifications more and more frequently, and the huge claws tore the wizards who were repairing the fortifications to pieces or smashed them away, making it increasingly difficult to hold the position.

However, within two hours, the losses of the infected regiment were less than expected due to reasonable arrangements and rotation of the front lines. However, the situation was still not optimistic. Even though the casualty ratio was almost one to ten, the number of bloody monsters did not decrease. People's energy recovery was far less than the consumption under high-pressure battles. When the battle line was fought to the limit, the action of "Deep Pool" became particularly important.

Every time she puts all her strength into it, she can burn a large area of ​​enemies. Even if the enemies on fire cannot be completely eliminated at this stage, they will be swept off the fortifications by the impact force.

The scales that escaped the net will also be knocked down by the warriors, and the battle line will be eased. Madeline, Bagpipe, and White Dove will take the opportunity to snipe the special individuals in the blood tide, and at the same time finish off the individuals injured by the "Deep Pool". Then, under the cover of artillery fire from the rear positions, they will meet the "wave" in the next round of blood tide attack, thwart the offensive of the first batch of monsters, and then return the battle line to the front-line soldiers who have been replaced.

Even this rotational combat mode gradually made the infected legion feel exhausted. Human energy is limited. As the soldiers sacrificed their manpower and the resistance decreased, it became more and more difficult.

"Lafushini! Flame!" Ling Dengxian swung his sword and cut off the head of the extremely tall blood-red monster, but the monster's movement before death was due to inertia. Ling Dengxian tried his best to knock away its claws, but the sharp blood bone spurs on its body still pierced his chest. Fortunately, he exerted force in time to break free from the "death hug". The smell of blood spread, and more monsters rushed towards him.

Draco swung his spear, and flames burst out from the tip of the spear. Her face was a little pale. She had consumed too much energy, and the fire attack this time had very limited support for the white dove. Rafshini wanted him to retreat quickly, but she opened her mouth and spat out a pool of blood!

The expected blazing flames did not descend, and Ling Dengxian was instantly surrounded by monsters. He did not have enough time to break through the siege!

Purple flames suddenly erupted on the battlefield, and the swaying flames looked like a dancer dancing.

A new team took the front line. Without anyone noticing, "La Fushini" still stood, and another round of flames fell from the height, but the color was different.

Ling Dengxian suddenly looked up. Although they were very far away, the visitor's attention was on him, so she raised her eyebrows.

"Really? You don't take 'death' seriously."
