Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Clearly, both she and the Black Cloak Commander believed that if a fight broke out today, Xia Yu would definitely die here.

However, the losses suffered by the Black Cloaked Warriors were too great; perhaps less than one-tenth would survive, so they dared not engage in battle lightly.

This is quite normal, since Xia Yu has never revealed her true intentions to outsiders.

No more than three people even knew that he could fly.

The previous precautions have been effective.

Others will only see him as one of the world's top warriors, just like Patriot at his peak.

Instead of treating it as a moving natural disaster.

Clearly, the latter is more eye-catching than a legendary warrior like Patriot.

Although Xia Yu doesn't deliberately suppress herself now, she's not so arrogant as to let everyone know her name.

Sometimes, keeping a low profile and making a fortune is the best approach.

While a tense standoff was raging underground, things were also moving quickly and efficiently on the surface.

The Yeti's princess has already prepared her territory.

Let's put an end to this farcical battle.

62. Why?

“These are the only people left,” Faust said, bowing his head with remorse. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright, you’ve done very well,” Frostnova said awkwardly. “The fault doesn’t lie with you.”

She didn't know how to explain to Faust that Mephistopheles was dead.

Although I felt he deserved to die, Faust... he was a good boy.

He had just suffered such a devastating blow, with so many of his compatriots dying around him...

Unlike Mephistopheles, Faust genuinely treated the infected as brothers and sisters.

All of this was caused by 'her'.

Tallulah.

Looking at her fellow countrymen, all of whom were injured, Froststar's eyes revealed a look of ambiguity.

Why did you become like this?

A painful sound interrupted Froststar's thoughts.

He was an ordinary member of the Reunion Movement. His right hand was twisted into a strange arc. When he saw that his penis had attracted Frostnova's attention, he quickly shut his mouth.

He knew that Frostnova, like Patriot's Shield Guards, disliked people like him.

Faust, standing nearby, looked hesitant, as if he wanted to ask something.

Froststar noticed this and quickly said, "I know you're tired, but now is not the time to rest."

“You take them back to Chernobog, and I will stay behind to cover your retreat.”

"You must bring them back to Patriot and tell everyone exactly what happened to you in Lungmen!"

Faust swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

“Now is not the time, so many brothers and sisters are waiting for me,” he comforted himself. “I’ll go back to Chernobyl first.”

Actually, he already had a general idea of ​​the answer in his mind.

It's just that I don't want to believe it.

“Be careful,” Faust could only say to Froststar at last. “I have a feeling things aren’t that simple.”

"Although the Royal Guard is besieging us, they are intentionally or unintentionally gathering everyone around me and only driving them away. They have never shown any intention of besieging us."

"I'm worried they have a backup plan."

“I’ll be careful,” Frostnova nodded. “You should leave now.”

"While I can still fight."

“Hmm,” Faust replied softly, bowing his head.

As an officer, he was aware of Froststar's health problems.

Perhaps, today is our final farewell.

-

Faust's feeling was actually correct.

The Guard Bureau was indeed allowing him to take advantage of the chaos to absorb the Reunion Movement members who were fleeing everywhere.

And indeed, I followed behind them, watching them flee towards the slums.

A little thought reveals that Lungmen must have set up a scheme in the slums, and their decision to let Faust gather his men was simply a ploy to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

After all, if a few scattered rioters scatter, it will be difficult to clear them out in a short time.

However, Black Cloak, which was meant as a backup plan, was lured away by Xia Yu, causing Wei Yanwu's plan to fall through.

But now the situation is clear.

The Longmen side can no longer completely annihilate the Integration Movement.

Wei Yanwu's planned glorious victory was downgraded to a major triumph.

But none of this affected his goals, since the Guard Bureau had already proven that Lungmen had the power to protect itself.

It's nothing more than a few more words of wrangling in the imperial court.

That being said, the Guard Bureau will not let Reunion leave so easily.

Once they have reorganized their lines, they will launch an attack.

"Are you sure you want to come with us, Nine?" a member of the Reunion Movement asked curiously. "Are you a local from Lungmen?"

"Now that we're here, is it possible to go back?" Jiu sighed. "Actually, Longmen isn't any different from other places."

"Or rather, this is how the world is; where is there really a place that can accept infected people?"

“That’s true,” the person who asked the question first nodded and sighed, “I originally lived in a count’s territory in Ursus. Because the count had an infected daughter, we were treated quite well back then.”

"But later the count was defeated and taken away, and the mayor took over to rule us. Gradually, the surrounding environment began to change."

"In the end, we infected people had no choice but to flee our hometowns and wander around."

"Wandering?" Nine asked doubtfully. "Didn't the Reunion Movement take Chernobog?"

"Take it down?" The infected shook his head. "Chestron is already destroyed. It's all ruins. Besides, how could Ursus just stand by and watch us take it over?"

"I guess we'll be heading back to the snowfield soon."

"So that's what you all think?"

-

Chen stared blankly at the message that Jiu had sent to his communicator.

"I had too high expectations for Longmen, and so did you."

"I'm leaving. Oh, and don't go check the drainage system."

she left.

Together with the remnants of the Reunion Movement.

The successive blows left Chen somewhat dazed.

She already knew what was in the sewers.

This city isn't all that great.

Xia Yu had seen through this long ago, which is why he helped the Reunion Movement to lure the enemy away from their stronghold.

In his eyes, Lungmen and the Reunion Movement are neither good nor evil; neither side is a good person.

Needless to say, the Reunion Movement's actions in Chernobyl alone show that they are not the saviors of the infected as their slogan claims.

And what about Longmen?

The Reunion Movement's actions in Chernobyl have drawn widespread condemnation, so why are there still people willing to help them?

If we exclude Wei Yanwu's turning a blind eye and those with ulterior motives, what about the remaining people who wholeheartedly support the integration movement?

If Lungmen is truly a paradise on earth, then why would the people of Lungmen help the Reunion Movement destroy their own home?

To put it bluntly, Longmen was just a city ruled by feudal nobles who practiced a capitalist system.

Wei Yanwu would protect the interests of the big capitalists and nobles, but he would never look at the people at the bottom.

Neither of their buttocks is clean.

This incident was merely a power struggle among the upper classes, not a class revolution.

Therefore, Xia Yu can cause trouble without any burden.

"That's the Yeti Squad?"
