Hello, Arknights

Ling Dengxian and the other two simply ate some animal meat to replenish their strength and then set off again. They woke up in the middle of the night but were still unable to walk on their own. Ling Dengxian looked at Dua.

"I'll go ahead and clear the way." Kuranta picked up the hammer without looking at him.

"..." Ling Dengxian and Ye Ban looked at each other, and Ye Ban smiled bitterly: "Sorry."

"It's nothing, come up." Ling Dengxian stretched her tired arms to signal that she was fine.

Ye Han did not ask the question in the end, because she knew that in his eyes she was probably just Safra, a patient with a similar situation to his own.

When Ling Dengxian was adjusting his posture to carry Yeban on his back, Duva's expression moved slightly. He took out a black object inconspicuously, put it to his ear naturally, and tapped it with his fingertips to indicate to the other party that he was listening.

"...Okay, I got it, right away." After listening for a while, Duva's face became serious, and he did not lower his voice. Ling Dengxian and Ye Ban cast doubtful looks at him.

"Let's go! The situation has changed. We can't go back to Qicheng Town for the time being. Let's change direction to avoid the natural disaster." Dua frowned and motioned Ling Dengxian to follow him.

"Ah? Why—"

"There are enemies. Enemies that cannot be entangled."

The two were still full of questions. Duva sighed and said, "If you hadn't encountered that bloody monster, then it would not be the enemy but the rescue team."

Ling Dengxian was still somewhat puzzled, but Ye Ban had already guessed something, and his sudden realization was filled with helplessness: "Then we are really unlucky."

"But how did you know that?" Ye Ban asked Du Wa vigilantly. After hesitating for a moment, he still did not hold the crossbow at his waist.

"Bunuo just left town. Ling knows him." Duva didn't mind her caution and just started clearing the weeds on another road.

"Uncle Buno? Why did he just leave?"

"He wants to make sure of something, and he has some skills, so nothing should go wrong." Duva's tone was not as uncertain as his words, as if he was just saying casually, "Bunuo will not forget to bring his knife and fork when he eats."

"Uh..." Ling Dengxian once again cast his gaze on the heavy weapon in Dua's hand and began to think about the meaning of this "some ability".

"What else did Buno say?" Ling Dengxian started to hurry on his way with Yeban on his back, and Yeban asked another question.

"How should I know? He wasn't the one who informed me." Duva didn't even turn his head.

"Ah? Was it Uncle Bach who contacted you just now?"

"Not really. He's been busy."

As if he had anticipated that Ling Dengxian wanted to ask something, Du Wa said calmly, "It's not other people in town, it's someone else."

Hearing the implication of "don't ask any more questions" in Du Wa's words, Ye Ban tactfully stopped asking, but Ling Dengxian asked out of inertia: "Who is that...ah!"

Ye Han pinched him to signal him not to ask any more questions, but failed to stop him. Du Wa raised his eyebrows and did not answer directly:

"She? It's a Pero."

What no one noticed was that the blue-black figure among the long-lipped sleeping beasts left the team silently.

Viscount Mandel's estate.

"I heard that you had a quarrel with a commoner not long ago?" The dusty figure sat down without any hesitation and reached out to pick up the tea to quench his thirst.

"I can still keep an eye on my own fang beasts, and I've also dealt with the relevant compensation. At that time, the Duke's spies came, and it would be easier to divert their attention by creating a small incident." Viscount Mandel rolled his eyes, and the Filin woman said unhappily to the middle-aged Kuranta in front of her, who was about the same age as her: "But can 'you' be quiet? I'm your friend, but I'm not one of yours. Isn't it too much to order me around so many times?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. There is a reason this time..." The Kuranta man took off his hat to reveal a slightly tired face and forced out a dry laugh.

"Haha, if there is no reason, I won't pay any attention to you."

"Let's get down to business. In addition to Qicheng Town, does the Duke have any other arrangements?"

"I don't know." Viscount Mandel's answer was quite straightforward. The guest was stunned for a moment, and she said helplessly: "The guy's actions this time were quite secretive, and I couldn't find out the specific distribution of the manpower at all."

"No news at all?"

"We can only be sure that this operation is very important to the duke. There will not be only one team taking action, and the henchmen dispatched must be extraordinary."

"There is no doubt about that. There has already been one in Qicheng Town." The man nodded. The woman spread her hands to indicate that she really could not help much. The man nodded again and stood up to leave.

"Just leaving after asking, isn't that too heartless?"

"If you can give up your title, I wouldn't mind if you came with me." The man paused, "Because I like you, too."

"Come on, you are so narcissistic." The woman blushed and ordered him to leave.

"...Yes, yes, I am narcissistic." The man left with confidence, covered in dust.

Mandel stood up and watched the other person leave through the gap in the curtains. Both of them knew what the other was thinking, and getting married could only be postponed to the future.

Bach was very envious of Bruno, but he knew that Mandel was different from Rona. She didn't have much skills and wanted to help in other ways.

He pressed his temples in the dust raised by the passing pack carts. The dust at the corners of his mouth was a little dry and bitter.

Soon, he disappeared around the corner of the road.

The encounter between the Triangle Group and the team led by Deputy Commander Sheldon was premeditated. To be more precise, the Triangle Group was ambushed.

Triangle and the others did not expect that after their position was exposed, the target not only did not speed up their escape plan, but instead immediately sent a detachment to raid them. Snare drum and oboe were severely injured at the first moment. Snare drum was hit by two arrows and oboe's right hand was cut. Triangle tried her best to take the two away from the battlefield, mandolin provided cover, and bass distracted the battlefield and took away the firepower of five people.

"How are they doing!" Mandolin fired three arrows in a row and killed an enemy, estimating the time for the upcoming close combat.

"I'm fine! Give me my crossbow." Oboe stood up. She didn't force herself. She reacted quickly just now. Although she couldn't dodge, the wound was not deep and there was no problem holding the crossbow.

"But Xiaogu..." Triangle could hear the sound of the approaching battle and quickly bandaged the wound on her lower abdomen. The arrow could not be pulled out. Xiaogu's face turned pale and she had cold sweat on her forehead.

"Don't move. How about your mandolin?" He loaded the arrow onto the string with the triangle iron and opened his mouth to bite a dagger.

"Leave the remaining ten or so small ones to me. Can you kill the big one?" Fidelia steadied his position and shot several sharp arrows, knocking down several people. Then he put down the crossbow, drew the scimitar at his waist, stepped over the enemies who were still struggling and screaming in pain not far in front of him, and chopped the crossbow in the hand of one enemy into pieces with one knife, knocking down another enemy with his backhand.

She would use her blade to teach these mercenaries what the consequences of a surprise attack on the Stormtroopers would be.

As for Triangle, as the team leader she failed to protect her members due to negligence, and the crossbow and sharp edges will express her anger.

Sheldon clenched his hunting knife. He had to get rid of the tail of the team as soon as possible. He couldn't slack off when facing the angry Filin in front of him. It's not that the enemy in front of him was so difficult. He could probably repel him. If he wanted to kill him, he would need the cooperation of other mercenaries.

What he was worried about was the large force that was chasing them. According to intelligence, neither Dashita nor Horn were able to deal with them, and they had no chance of winning without the cooperation of other soldiers.

With a "clang" sound, the sword light and the fire light reflected each other.

Ling Xian and the other two also encountered unexpected events, dangerous events.
