Hello, Arknights

"Yes, this is Fishing Cat. Um, the so-called support troops arrived a day ago. I didn't even see a crossbow among the garrisons." The film man held a black object similar to a communication terminal between his head and shoulders, and he himself sat down on the small dock of the town with a fishing rod in his hand. He supported the communication object that was almost not clamped firmly with his hand: "Okay, I promise to evacuate to a safe area before the natural disaster comes. You might as well worry more about Kuranta. He is usually more stable than any of us. Ah, maybe less than you, but you know that guy is no worse than Old Wolf when he goes crazy. Well, anyway, don't we still have Xueya to support us? Don't be too careless in Longmen--"

At this time, the man's leopard ears moved: "No more talking, Youlin'er is here, I have to greet him."

His shoulders relaxed and the black object fell into his hands. It turned out to be a black crystal shaped like an ice crystal.

Looking down at the lake, he sighed, "It's still not as exciting as the streams and rivers outside the town, but this kind of calmness is not bad."

He noticed the cautious gaze, but he didn't look back, he knew how to fish for scales.

When the footsteps emerged from the distance, the film man sighed, "Five minutes, it looks like a big scale."

"Friend, this is Qicheng Town, right?"

The man didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Ha, it's like this. We are a caravan coming from the north. We are going to deliver a batch of goods abroad. But when we leave the mobile city, we are in a hurry and don't have all the supplies. Can you help us?" The other party sounded quite sincere.

"Supplies? Do you need food? How many people are there?" he answered lazily, but his eyes had already moved away from the water.

"Not much, fifty or sixty."

"Well, the people in the town have all evacuated, and there's no food left. Sorry."

The deliberately light footsteps gradually surrounded them from behind.

"Then why are you still in town? Just to fish for scales?"

"Didn't you ask the townspeople why they evacuated in the first place?"

"..." The other party was choked and his voice became much gloomier. "A smart Lin should know not to wade into muddy water."

"Haha, I don't know whether I should wade into muddy waters or not, but as a fisherman, I do understand one thing very well."

"what?"

The sound of metal and leather rubbing against each other merged into the air, making it heavier, but Bruno seemed completely unaware.

"Even if the fisherman does not hide his gaze, some fish will still bite the hook and never turn back."

The other party's face changed and he shouted, "Do it!"

Bruno jumped up with a grin and a loud shout, the scale basket broke silently, a ray of silver light was grasped in his hand, and then his figure met the oncoming sharp edge.

"Some scales are always very good at jumping!"

Border Mountains.

Ling Dengxian was hit in the face by a bunch of branches. Yes, he was quite happy at first when he saw the burnt grass and scattered leaves along the road, which clearly showed that someone had walked by. He thought he had found the way, and then some bastard pulled a bunch of branches as if he wanted to stab someone, and then stab him.

"Gao Fei! My nose is bleeding!" Ling Dengxian was so angry that he quickly took out tissues from his backpack to stop the bleeding. "Damn it, I didn't bring enough tissues. I can only use medical bandages from now on."

"There's no water, so I can't wash my face." Ling Dengxian's nosebleed slowly solidified on his cheek. He shouldn't have wiped it off in a panic. Now he looked very stupid.

"Huh? Why are there so many plants in front? Is there no way out?" Ling Dengxian went forward and pulled the branches unwillingly, only to find that the road was behind and the bushes at the end seemed to lead out of the forest.

After finding the way again, he got out of the bushes without thinking, and then saw people.

The second squad of the investigation team.

As expected, the reconnaissance team of Triangle Iron was composed entirely of members of the Storm Commando, a total of four reconnaissance teams, each with five people. They were responsible for reconnaissance in different areas, with high frequency and rapidity. After detailed discussion, they decided to set a reconnaissance time of thirty minutes, ignoring all irrelevant information and only collecting all traces of people and soldiers. They would turn back immediately after thirty minutes. Facing the natural disaster that was likely to come in three hours, it would take fifty minutes for all of them to evacuate the dangerous section, which meant that even so, they only had two chances to explore.

If they discover the exact whereabouts of the Iron Eagle Mercenaries or encounter them head-on, their only means of communication will be flares if the communication terminals are unusable.

The meanings of different colors and numbers of flares were determined in advance, but the visible range of the fireworks signals emitted by the flares was limited. Therefore, the large force including Dacita and Horn had to move in the expected direction, but the large force had undoubtedly deviated from the central area and was probably in a transition zone to avoid natural disasters.

After going a certain distance deep, Triangle Iron and his group discovered traces of burning Originium fuel, which was not the standard of their army. After confirmation, they should be the traces of the Iron Eagle Mercenaries. However, footprints were found later. Judging from the number of people, they were not the main team, but a detachment that was intended to confuse the enemy.

"Triangle, it seems the enemy is chasing something and is heading towards the four o'clock direction."

After listening to Xiao Gu's analysis, Triangle stood up with its cat ears, its eyes slightly narrowed, as if calculating something.

"Team leader, are you planning to take over this team?" Beth saw what she was thinking. "It's a bit difficult."

"It would be fine if Cello was here, but she's with the captain." Mandolin did not relax her guard as she spoke. Her Fidiya nature made her always cautious.

"Do you want to send a signal?" Oboe shook the flare in his hand.

"... Let's chase them and see first. Be careful to hide, and then make a decision. At least we shouldn't have any problem protecting ourselves against these enemies. Send a signal after getting specific information." Triangle made a judgment.

The other four thought about it and agreed. If it was Dashita's reconnaissance team, they might not consider this plan. As members of the Storm Commando, every decision they make is based on their own strength. Their combat capabilities that exceed those of ordinary soldiers also allow them to complete more difficult tasks.

"set off!"

It's midnight here.

As the deputy commander of the Iron Eagle Mercenary Group, Harpil was relieved when he saw that the prey he had been chasing was finally caught. Looking at the unwilling look in Safra's eyes, he was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when he thought about the current situation that could not be delayed, he didn't say much nonsense, but waved his hand playfully to signal his men to remove her threat of force.

Seeing the mercenaries approaching him with caution and almost giving up in the middle of the night, just as he was gritting his teeth and preparing for a final counterattack, an untimely voice interrupted this dull scene.

"Hey, I'm out? This is..."

More than twenty eyes fell on the young man who had just appeared. The young man was stunned when he saw the situation in front of him. It was not until the light reflected from the mercenaries' knives dazzled his eyes that he realized that something was wrong.

"Kill him!" Hapil decisively ordered to eliminate all possible enemies. Ling Dengxian reflexively dodged the arrow shot at his face.

Thanks to Fengpi's training, Ling Dengxian dodged the arrow without losing his composure. When he was about to escape into the woods, he saw that it was midnight.

"Yeban?" Ling Dengxian was very surprised, but the mercenaries would not give him time to be surprised. They kept surrounding Yeban, and those with crossbows were all pointed at him. For a moment, Ling Dengxian's scalp went numb: "Is this the treatment for just leaving the Novice Village?!"

This sentence was shouted in Yan dialect, so I felt a little unbelievable when I was stunned in the middle of the night.

The crossbow arrows wait for no one, and Ling Dengxian was forced to stop before he could escape into the woods. He thought quickly and came to the conclusion that he seemed to be in trouble in the middle of the night, but he did not seem to have the strength to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.

"Sorry--" The familiar gaze made him stunned, and in his distraction an arrow grazed his arm, leaving a streak of blood!

Ling Dengxian's expression wrinkled in pain, but he gave up the idea of ​​escaping and raised his city-breaking spear to block two crossbow arrows.

"Damn it... I still want to be a hero." Standing firmly on his feet and keeping a close eye on his opponent's movements, Ling Dengxian swung his city-breaking spear and began his first real "fight".
