Arknights' Lock of Heaven

If the effects of these drugs were made public, the Sarkaz would go crazy for them!

As long as Rhodes Island can hold onto this drug, in time the so-called royal court under Theresis will completely collapse!

Which Sarkaz would willingly die from Oripathy?

To put it simply, if Princess Theresa had had such a drug during the civil war back then, the Sarkaz on the other side would have had to kidnap Theresa and defect to their side within three months.

The reason it takes three months is because Kazdel has suffered from years of war and its infrastructure is in terrible shape, which slows down the spread of information.

This is what truly unites the Sarkaz.

Why did the civil war break out? Because Theresa and Theresis disagreed about the future of the Sarkaz.

And what future can compare to this drug?

Unfortunately, it was too late.

If only it could have been sooner... sigh.

However, although Princess Theresa is no longer here, the vision she once showed me remains.

That's why W was willing to come to the snowfield. Can Rhodes Island really hold onto such a huge benefit?

That's the medicine that cures Oripathy!

If you acquire Kazdel, the Sarkaz will automatically unite around you. If you acquire Laterano, you'll be the most devout saint under the gods tomorrow; this medicine is a divine gift. If you acquire Yan Kingdom, you'll instantly become a saint, historians will write your biography, your family tree will be on the first page, and you'll be the first to offer incense at the ceremonies. If you acquire Columbia, Rhine Lab's rise to power is legendary enough, isn't it? You'll become even more legendary than them overnight.

But the prerequisite is that you can hold on to it!

Can Rhodes Island hold out? W is pessimistic about this.

Therefore, she accepted the task with some reluctance.

Patriots has people on his side.

Over 100,000 people, all of them infected!

Moreover, according to the latest news, Ursus is still continuously driving infected people from within the country to the snowfields.

W had been a member of the Reunion Movement and was herself an Infected. She knew all too well the constant fear and anxiety that infected people experienced.

Hundreds of thousands of people are now suffering from hunger and thirst on the snowy plains, worrying about illness and the army's attack.

If the Orwell succeeds, these people will become loyalists of Rhodes Island. We have not only brought them food, but also the hope of survival.

In the lower decks of the Orville, hundreds of thousands of inhibitors lay quietly.

With this power, anyone who wants to mess with Rhodes Island will have to think twice about their own strength.

Not only here, but as long as Kal'tsit is involved, using the name of the Tower of Babel and these potions, it would be easy to raise a formidable army in Kazdel!

For the first time in years, W saw hope for His Highness's ideals to be realized, and hope for revenge against Theresis.

Kal'tsit wanted to play it safe. She told herself that in order to buy time for the world to discover the effectiveness of these inhibitors and thus maximize the development of Rhodes Island, and also to ensure that all infected people could buy enough cheap yet effective drugs, they deliberately diluted the drugs.

It's okay, W can wait. She's had enough of days without any hope of revenge. At least now she has a clear goal.

Ha, it's just waiting.

She's waited this long already, so she doesn't mind waiting a few more years.

Why didn't I go into that meeting room that day?

After sorting out her feelings, she found a clear answer.

Haha, so even someone like me can feel ashamed.

How should I put it? It's unexpected, but it's reasonable.

Back then, he parted ways with Kal'tsit because she was unwilling to take the remaining forces of Babel and fight against Theresis.

After so many years of hard work, I still see no hope at all.

And that old woman actually managed to create such a big news story without making a sound.

Sigh...

Out of shame or something, when I heard them talking about natural disaster weapons, secrets, and the secrets of the Witch King, I subconsciously felt that this kind of thing was not something a mercenary like myself should be listening to, and so I used that as an excuse to escape from there.

Feeling guilty towards His Highness, Kal'tsit proved to herself that her choice was correct.

I am a complete failure.

Seriously, such a worthless sense of self-respect.

W sighed.

The shock I've experienced lately has been too great; my mind is completely muddled. Haha, I never knew I had such an awkward side to me.

Just like Niyan said, since they invited me to the meeting, they definitely didn't mean to hide anything from me, right?

Yes, I can't do that again next time.

After calming herself down, W began to think.

The reason why Mudrock is so confident is that he must have a trump card that can deal with these armies.

A weapon of natural disaster? W recalled what she had overheard outside the door.

Literally speaking, this is truly an extraordinary thing, turning natural disasters into weapons...

No wonder Mudrock said we had to set off, otherwise it would affect the city.

Kal'tsit has really been holding back a lot of good stuff these past few years, from the Oripathy inhibitor to this Scourge weapon...

Hmm? No, Rhodes Island... do they really have the capability to develop something like this?

If you're talking about inhibitors, there was a research foundation from the Babel era. Although it was surprising that they actually came up with one, it wasn't entirely unfounded.

But natural disaster weapons... these aren't things you can just make casually.

W squinted, remembering a key figure.

Xia Yu, Special Advisor to Rhodes Island.

is it you?

374

"Still no news?"

On board the Ural, General Boris of the Sixth Army frowned, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "What on earth is that piece of trash Nikolai doing?"

"Five thousand people, a full five thousand people! This is the fourth day, and we still haven't caught two people?"

"Now there's not even any news about them!"

“General,” the adjutant said cautiously, seeing his furious expression, “Colonel Nikolai’s last message was that they had discovered the two men’s trail and they were fleeing into the mountains. They will be caught soon…”

"You'll catch them soon? Then why haven't we heard anything from you yet?" Boris slammed his hand on the table.

He couldn't wait to lead his men and catch up with them right now, not because he was worried about Nikolai, but because the captain of that ship was someone the Grand Duke had specifically requested, and his importance was almost as high as the ship itself.

But he couldn't do that, because the rest of the men had to keep a close eye on the Orville. Otherwise, if he led his men to catch up but failed to capture anyone and the Orville escaped... that would be a real disaster.

Moreover, he didn't really think Nikolai would fail; at most, it would just take a little more time.

But who knew those two could run so fast, and then they encountered some terrible logistical problems.

I should have known better than to spread the news that the Grand Duke specifically requested that captain. I was hoping to cause internal collapse, but I didn't expect it to backfire and turn into this mess.

Sometimes Boris even suspected that the two men weren't running away out of fear, but rather that they had realized his importance and deliberately left to lure him and his men into chasing them, allowing the Orville to escape.

Regardless of whether that's true or not, he's not going to fall for it. It's true they're the people the Grand Duke wants, but right now, the ship is the most important thing. If they don't catch that person, at most it'll leave the Grand Duke with the impression of incompetence, but if they let the Orville escape…

Boris didn't even dare to think about the consequences.

So he was very frustrated and could only vent his anger at his adjutant's incompetence in the office.

But what could the adjutant do? Colonel Nikolai's father-in-law had a close relationship with General Boris; otherwise, how could that colonel, who only knew how to run away, have escaped punishment after abandoning his troops and fleeing alone?

Moreover, even tasks that were practically just taking credit for others' work were assigned to him.

At this time, you must not go along with your boss's words to slander them. After all, they are family. Just listen to what your boss says and don't take it seriously.

Even if General Boris wanted to skin Nikolai alive right now, as long as the latter returned with his men, none of this would have happened.

As for the possibility of not being able to come back... not a single person, from the adjutant to the general, had even considered that possibility.

At this moment, not only should you not slander them, but you should also speak up for them.

“Perhaps their equipment has malfunctioned again,” the adjutant said respectfully to Boris. “You know, four days ago they were all driving there, but according to the report, only two days later, most of the soldiers had to walk, and by the third day, most of the vehicles had broken down.”

“If it weren’t for that, they would have caught up with those two much earlier. How could it have dragged on until now? I think the biggest responsibility for Colonel Nikolai’s inability to complete the mission is the logistics.”

"Excuse me, General, but in all the years I've served by your side, this is the first time I've encountered such a... bizarre situation. You know, all that equipment is the latest."

"The logistics department has really gone too far this time!"

Upon hearing this, Boris kicked his desk, sending it flying.

"Logistics, huh," he said, his expression not looking too good.

He knew perfectly well what his adjutant was saying.

Logically speaking, although the Sixth Army was not very disciplined or combat-effective, it was still the Grand Duke's direct army.
