Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

After arranging Amiya and ACE, Suika turned her attention to Scout, the master of assassination.

Chapter 396: The Intelligence War Begins

Hearing Suika's words, Scout straightened his chest, even though in previous competitions, he was indeed at a disadvantage, winning less and losing more.

But that was just a competition. When it came to the real battlefield of life and death, Scout said that he would never be inferior to others in his life.

"Remember, my request is simple...Hold her back and don't give her the opportunity to attack others."

Then she glanced at the three veteran operators who were not good at frontal assaults and set her sights on Lin Guang.

“Knight Yao, your mission is very important.

After the competition begins, I will lead a large force to attract the opponent's attention from the front.

And you... I need you to go around and raid the opponent's flag location from the opposite side and rear.

Your mission is very important and directly affects the success or failure of this battle, so I'm counting on you."

Finally, she turned her gaze to the remaining three elite operators.

"None of you three are experts on the front lines, but as elite operators you all have your own strengths, so I'll give you the freedom to play your part."

After hearing what Suika said, everyone agreed.

As she herself said, what she is good at is not commanding but fighting, so she puts herself on the front line.

Lin Guang, who is extremely fast and good at maneuvering, fights on the flank.

She did not deliberately give orders to Mantra and his team, who were good at special operations, but let them play freely.

Although her command seemed very rough, at least she was doing a good enough job compared to those who pretended to know everything and tried to maximize the power they had.

After arranging the tasks, everyone was about to leave, but Suika called ACE and Amiya.

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Amiya asked after everyone had left.

After looking around the room, Suika said with a strange look on her face

"In fact, our competition started the moment Kal'tsit agreed.

To be honest, that person paid much more attention to us than we imagined...

You said so, the girl in the corner."

Hearing Suika's words, Amiya and Ace both turned their gazes towards the corner of the wall that Suika was staring at.

It seemed that there was nothing in the corner, but after she finished speaking, they felt that there seemed to be something in the corner.

"Aren't you going to come out?"

Suika asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry..." A soft female voice came, and along with her voice, a person appeared in front of the three people.

"Ms. Lion Scorpion!" Amiya recognized her at a glance.

As a member of PRTS, the lion scorpion, who is also good at stealth operations, appears more Akalin under her Originium skills.

To be honest, it’s not that no one noticed her, such as Mantra and Scout, but they saw Suika’s gesture before they could say anything, so they didn’t point it out.

Most of the others were distracted by Suika at the beginning, so they didn't notice that there was an uninvited guest in the room.

The lion scorpion was indeed a person sent to gather intelligence. She was feeling lucky that she was not discovered by the other party, but she did not expect the result to be the opposite.

But since it was pointed out, she didn't hide it any longer.

"Kel'tsit is really cruel! Even though our side is already so weak, she still sent people to gather intelligence."

Suika looked at Amiya, and although she complained, she also admired her.

After all, the hawk is using all its strength to fight the rabbit. As a thousand-year-old cat, if Kal'tsit didn't have some skills, she probably wouldn't have "friends" everywhere, and she wouldn't even be able to sit in the position of commander-in-chief of the "Demon-hunting" coalition.

"Then, Miss Scorpion, according to the drill rules, I have to declare you killed in action!"

After finishing her complaints, Suixiang looked at Lion Scorpion, who nodded with tears in his eyes.

Although she is not bad in terms of combat ability, she is not good at frontal combat.

Especially in such a narrow place, it was not difficult for ACE to control her.

So she unfortunately became the first "casualty" in this competition.

After watching Scorpion leave pitifully with the sign that read [Killed in Action], Suika looked at Amiya.

“Although the official battle begins tomorrow, the intelligence war has already begun.

So, ACE, Amiya's life is in your hands."

Amiya nodded and left the house with ACE.

Suika burped and wandered towards the Rhodes Island Bar.

On the other side, in Kal'tsit's office, Ascalon was sitting on a sofa not far away, looking at the information about Suika in his hand.

This intelligence was most recently updated with oral accounts from individuals who returned from the Reunion Movement a month ago.

From the information inside, we can know that in addition to the clone and weird toast that Suika showed before, she is also extremely strong.

He also has the ability to fly and conjure food out of thin air.

Although she looks very versatile, Ascalon said that if Suika's level is just like this, there will be no suspense in this competition.

At this moment, the door was seen opened, but no one entered.

"Lion Scorpion, how's the intelligence going?"

Askalon didn't feel strange, but asked to the air.

But the next second, she saw the lion scorpion holding the sign and waving it at her, then walked out with a look of grievance on his face.

“I told you, don’t underestimate that Suika.

The fact that the Reunion Movement treated her as a guest of honor and that she helped the Reunion Movement out of trouble several times proves that she is not as simple as she usually appears."

Kal'tsit didn't even raise her head, as if she had already guessed the ending.

"Then do you think she can be trusted?" Askalon looked at Kal'tsit.

"Since Kokoko doesn't think there is a problem, then I trust her judgment." Kal'tsit raised her head and replied.

"I'm sorry, forgive my rudeness.

After all, if she really wins, I can't accept Amiya going to such a dangerous place as Chernobog."

Ascalon then remembered that Suika was also an operator of Rhodes Island.

"Then go and win it."

"But Amiya's belief this time is too strong... I..."

Ascalon also had doubts about what happened.

But no operator was willing to speak out about this.

Because if it is true, it will be a blow to the old people of Rhodes Island and even the Tower of Babel, comparable to the death of Trassia.

So almost all the operators acted like ostriches in this matter.

Those who could not accept it chose to leave, and the rest expressed their loyalty to Theresa's designated successor, Amiya.

But now Amiya is going to bring Blade Master back, which makes these old guys recall the past and their doubts.

This is why, although Rhodes Island had a large number of highly powerful elite operators, only a few actually participated in rescuing Blademaster, and almost all of them were killed in this battle.

Chapter 397 Askalon and Rosemary

Rhode Island is not small, but it is not big either.

The news of the competition and the agreement between the two parties soon became known among the operators through word of mouth.

The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was: Is Operator Ibuki Suika so powerful?

Not only did he dare to negotiate with Kal'tsit, but he also gave up the initiative. If anyone else did this, they would be in trouble for not taking the elite operators seriously.

But her explanation was also accepted by the operators - compared to this competition where no one would die, Chernobyl was a major military stronghold of Ursus. Even if the enemies inside were slightly inferior in quality, they were much larger in number and had more adequate armaments.

If the other party is really well prepared, then compared to tomorrow's competition, Chernobyl is ten or even a hundred times more dangerous.

If you don't even have the confidence to win tomorrow's competition, then there's no need to go to Chernobyl. After all, the danger is much greater than the competition.

After hearing this, Logos reached out and touched Rosemary's hair.

"Rosemary, in tomorrow's competition, try not to hold back without hurting anyone. Can you do that?"

Rosemary looked at Logos in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Amiya and the others definitely don't want to see you hold back like you did last time."

"But Amiya is a friend... My Originium skills will hurt them." Rosemary answered seriously.

"Don't worry, I'm right next to you. If anything goes wrong, I'll help." Logos whispered softly.

Rosemary tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Okay then... but you have to be careful!"

Time soon came to the next day.

Many operators who had free time came to the deck to look at the hills in the distance.

Just now, Amiya and her group marched towards the hill in formation.

And they were facing Kal'tsit's side led by Logos. Of course, Kal'tsit did not participate because she still had to perform surgery on the patient.

After Suixiang and her group went out in a mighty procession, Scout raised his hand to stop the team before they were halfway there.

As a scout, he glanced around and pointed to several places and ordered the warlocks to clean them up.

Sure enough, after a few big fireballs were fired, several mechanisms were triggered.

"I told you there's no need to set up traps. There's no way Scout wouldn't be able to find those things with his skill level." Misery complained while standing next to Logos.

"No, we have to let them find out, otherwise this competition will not be fun." Logos looked at the huge crowd at the foot of the mountain, then picked up the communicator.

"Let's get started!"

There was no sound coming from the communicator, but on Suixiang's side, the scout who was exploring the way felt a chill on his neck. He subconsciously dodged like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, barely avoiding two daggers thrown from the flank.

Looking up, I saw Askalon shaking the dagger in his hand, pointing to the woods not far away, and then disappeared on the spot.

Scout touched his neck. Although he had dodged the knife just now, the feeling of the knife tip scratching his neck still made him tremble all over.

After making a gesture to the team, he picked up his weapon, bent down, and quickly disappeared into the grass.

All this was seen by the "audience" on the deck in the distance, and they became excited.

Ascalon rarely appears in Rhodes Island, but as the head of Rhodes Island SWEEP, she has always been a mysterious figure among the operators.

Scout is well known to many people as an elite operator who works part-time as a sniper and reconnaissance instructor.

As veterans of the Sarkaz, there are almost no mediocre operators who survived the civil war, and those who can become elite operators are the best among them.

Scout has quite a few fans in Rhodes Island.

After seeing him fighting with the mysterious SWEEP people, many people turned their attention to him.

Compared to the spectators, Scout is now completely tense. Even though it is a competition, the pressure brought to him by Ascalon is no less than that of his opponents in the civil war.

The woods were not large, but as soon as he entered he found that he had lost sight of Askalon.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out from my back.

As a professional assassin, he naturally knew that he had lost his target.

Although he knew that the opponent's level was far higher than his, he still felt unhappy about being at a disadvantage from the beginning.

But it also aroused his belligerent nature.

Because he knew that his opponent was Ascalon, he did not bring the exaggerated "sniper rifle", but a crossbow and dagger that were more suitable for close combat.

After glancing around, he shook his body and disappeared on the spot.

The people on the deck in the distance who were watching this side saw two people entering the woods one after the other and then there was no news of them anymore. They could not help but look at each other in confusion.

They originally wanted to learn some skills from it, but since they couldn't even see anyone, what could they learn?

Fortunately, at this time, Suixiang and his group arrived at the foot of the mountain, and a head-on battle between the two sides was about to break out.

"Rosemary!" Logos reached out and gently pressed on Rosemary's shoulder. Rosemary nodded and raised her hand. Four huge tactical equipment rose from the ground and turned into four terrifying giant swords, whistling and rushing towards Amiya's line.
