Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"There's a sound coming from the ball!"

Bagpipe was the first to notice something was wrong.

"what?!"

"Lie down!"

The incident happened suddenly, and Fengpi only had time to knock down the person next to him, while the others basically didn't react.

boom!

The glass in the entire banquet hall was shattered, and the sound of the bomb explosion could be heard almost throughout Xiaoqiu County.

"The power of the bomb is greater than I thought."

Beichen looked back at the banquet hall where flames were billowing and muttered to himself.

"So, when will you show up?"

"Cough cough."

Bagpipe cleared the smoke around him and picked up the horn that was knocked down by the shock wave generated by the explosion.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Horn picked up the shield that fell beside him, moved his numb arms, shook his head and said, "I'm fine. But you're lucky you didn't rush forward this time."

Fengpipe looked back and said thankfully, "Fortunately, the captain's reaction was faster than mine. At least the hall behind the shield is intact."

However, looking at the tragic scene in the banquet hall, the groans of the wounded reached everyone's ears.

"........I can't protect everyone."

"Retreat, retreat first! This is a long-planned attack!"

The colonel was only slightly injured, even though the bomb was clearly aimed at him.

"poet.........."

Horn remained silent as he looked at the body of someone on the ground which was gradually becoming cold.

In the end, he was never able to write the poem of his dreams.

Bagpipe also noticed the look in Horn's eyes. She said with some regret: "Alas, he was standing too close to the bomb, and he was not beside me... What a pity. Not everyone can stand up for others under the blade."

Horn leaned over, reached out, picked up the Victorian poetry collection in the poet's hand, and brushed off the dust.

"How I wish he hadn't died such a meaningless death."

Horn shook his head. Now was not the time to think about this. The colonel's actions had already made it all clear.

He was not escaping just now, but rushing to the headquarters to command the battle. The enemy had already begun to advance, and this bomb was the signal.

Of course, it would be even better if the colonel could be injured or killed.

"Bagpipe, evacuate the survivors before the enemy breaks in...Bagpipe?"

After noticing that Bagpipe had no reaction, Horn turned around in confusion, then followed Bagpipe's gaze and looked out the window.

There was no fire at all. From statues to the town hall, everything living and dead turned silently into ashes in an instant.

As if like real ghosts, an army appeared from the darkness and ashes, advancing continuously in the dead silence.

"'Yan country swear words!' How come my clothes were burned too!"

In the dead silence, someone made a discordant sound.

Beichen cursed as he quickly took out a new set of clothes and changed into them.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and put all the useful things into the space in time, otherwise not only the clothes, but also the communicator in my pocket would have been declared dead.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. It went without a doubt that the only ones who could survive in this situation were the ghost army.

No, maybe now it should be called...the Deep Pool?

"Leader, we have already occupied all the nearby Tara blocks. What's the next step?"

"Ballroom........."

A female voice answered.

"According to the information given by Ms. Mandela, the top brass of the garrison are all there now. However, this explosion may not be able to completely eliminate them."

The Shenchi soldier looked towards the banquet hall in the distance and reported.

"Besides the garrison, who else?"

"Some local people showed us goodwill. They knew some of our secrets. The leaders said that for the sake of the overall situation, we should not leave any of them alive."

Seeing that the leader fell silent and did not answer, the soldier added: "They also said that if you don't do it, they will do it themselves."

Beichen was speechless. Isn't this a naked threat?

Reed, it seems that you, as a puppet leader, really have no dignity at all, and can even be bullied by a jerk like Mandela.

"My fire is still faster. Inform them. I know what to do. I will take over the banquet hall."

"Yes, leader, your fire will surely break the shackles that have oppressed us for hundreds of years!"

Ordinary Deep Pool soldiers did not know that the leader in front of them was not the real leader. They only knew that the leader would use a ball of fire to burn everything that blocked his way, and that was enough.

"By the way, there is a small gift that I forgot to give to Wei Cao."

To be honest, Beichen didn't know whether this was the right thing to do. After all, if the injury wasn't so serious, Reed might not have been rescued by Outcast, and might not have joined Rhodes Island.

If that's the case, then who can help me fill in the gaps in my lack of magic power?

But.....it doesn't matter.

Beichen came out from his hiding place and walked towards the direction of Shenchi’s troops.

"Leader...how could there be any survivors?"

The man called the leader raised his head and looked at Beichen with cold eyes.

"Why.....I can't see your flame."

My flame?

Beichen was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

He had read Weicao's file when he was playing with Zhou before. Her Originium skills were indeed a bit special, but Beichen was even more special.

"Well, anyone who prevents Shen Chi from moving forward will be..."

Before he could finish his words, Beichen's clothes suddenly caught fire again.

"Oh my god, you tm........."

Bei Chen was so angry that he blurted out curse words and almost passed out.

I just changed into new clothes, and you burned them again!

"Ok?"

She was surprised and confused; this had never happened before.

"Hmm? What do you mean by hmm? Can't you just say a few words to me before you do anything? At least ask me what my purpose is!"

Beichen started to complain, but looking at Weicao's wise eyes, he immediately realized that it was useless to say anything.

Beichen crushed the crossbow arrow shot by the Shenchi soldiers, scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Since you have no intention of saying a word to me, I can only beat you up and force the food on you."

"Protect the leader!"

The Shenchi soldiers immediately surrounded Beichen, but Beichen's eyes were always on the leader.
