Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

As a crossbowman, Faust was undoubtedly excellent.

["Ino, I will live, take you to live with me, it's cold here... But it did not cut off all life.

["Look, Ino, over there... Behind that snow stack, there is a snow badger, this snow stack is a good place for snow badgers to hide, just pay attention to the silver white on the snow badger's tail, you can easily find them

..."[

"Sasha, are you really all right...?" Your current body... It trembles like wheat blown by a cold wind.

"I'll be fine, Ino," (the voice is clearly strong, the cold wind pours into his thin body in his worn robe), you see, wind, aim, fire.

[Huh——(The arrow hits the prey, and the prey doesn't even have time to let out a scream)]

["Wow... Sasha, you are so good, your arrows are as accurate as the archers of ancient Victoria... And I... Nothing, like a useless burden..."[

Don't say that, Ino, your Source Stone skill will help me sooner or later, Ino.

"Until then, my arrows will give you a chance to live under this man-eating snowfield."

————————————————

Faust's archery stems from the icy wilderness, and the refinement of skill comes from the instinct to survive.

Integrate the captain of the sports Phantom Crossbowmen, Faust, and join the battlefield.

"Whew..."

Faust inhaled a long breath, and with this movement, the arrows on his crossbow swirled with wisps of purple light.

This is one of Faust's source stone skills, and its essential principle is to release an acceleration energy through his own hands, which is purple in color, and when combined with arrows, it can cause great destructive power.

This is almost a source stone technique tailored for Faust.

At the same time, he can also control this acceleration energy around him, blurring his figure, which can not only increase concealment, but also greatly enhance the possibility of dodging attacks.

But this is the limit of Faust, this acceleration energy is not so easy to control, he can only use it in these two aspects at most, but as a cadre of integrated sports, such strength is enough.

Yikes!!

[Faust pulls the trigger, and the arrows that fly past are like purple meteors] Once these arrows

plunge into the center of the herd, they begin to penetrate all the way, and they also begin to detonate in stages.

Bang!!

These purple arrows not only have powerful penetrating abilities, but Faust specifically uses explosive arrows, and the two characteristics of explosion and acceleration are applied together, and their improvement is not a little bit.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ballista battery carried by Faust also joined the battlefield with air-dropped drones flying in the sky.

Shout! Shout!! Shout!!!

As soon as these ballistae landed, their self-loading mechanism allowed them to automatically vent their fire in all directions without the need for personnel to operate, and large swathes of herds fell under Faust's ballistae.

These ballista batteries dropped by drones suddenly reduced the pressure on the snow monster team, and many front-line warlocks and soldiers could withdraw to rest.

Yikes!

Then, Faust used the acceleration energy to maneuver in a few vertical leaps on the battlefield, and came to the eyes of Frost Star.

"Frost Star, bad news, Tallulah betrayed us."

Faust stood in front of Frost Star and said to her.

At this time, Frost Star and because of the explosive use of the Source Stone Technique just now, the infection level of the whole person skyrocketed, and at the same time, a strong sense of weakness swept over.

"This voice... Are you Faust? Her

eyes now saw only a blurry cyan figure, and the heavily infected ore disease had begun to affect her optic nerves.

"It seems that you are really fateful... Ahem... Faust, you can be proud to escape from her flames.

Faust saw Frost Star's state at this time, and immediately replied:

"Your health is very bad, Frost Star, leave it to me for the time being, I still have some air-dropped drones left, which will arrive in about a few minutes and lay more ballista batteries."

"In addition, Frost Star, Mephistopheles urgently needs a doctor for first aid, he was directly stabbed head-on by Tallula's sword, and is now on the verge of death."

Faust tilted her figure slightly sideways so that Froststar could see Mephistopheles' bloody face and weak face, and although Froststar was almost out of sight, she could still guess Faust's intention through Faust's movements.

But Frost Star did not respond directly to Faust, but was silent, his perception of Faust was quite good, but for Mephistopheles... It's very bad.

After all, Mephistopheles did not regard the people of the integration movement as adults at all, and in his eyes, only Faust and Tallulah were worth cherishing.

Moreover, Mephistopheles' source stone technique is to control the herd.

"Ahem... These herds, is Mephistopheles' handiwork? Frost

Star spoke again, his icy voice filled with chills.

The casting unit above the warm snow in his hand was already shining with a clear blue light, and in the battle just now, four members of the snow monster squad were killed by the attack of these herds.

If it was really Mephistopheles who did it, Frost Star would never forgive.

She would rather recklessly erupt again with the Source Stone Technique.

But Faust shook his head and said to Frost Star:

"No, it is probably Tallula's handwriting, and she almost stabbed Mephistopheles to death when I went to the conning tower in the center of Core City just now."

Faust's title for Tallulah has changed from leader to his first name.

The chill in Frost Star's eyes was even worse:

"You're lying, Faust, Tallula's

Source Stone skills can't manipulate the herd at all."

"You want to excuse Mephistopheles?"

Faust looked directly at the chill in Frost Star's eyes and responded,

"What do you think is the benefit of such a lie to you and me now?"

"Listen, Frost Star, Tallula's means are as varied as her face, she can manipulate herds, in fact, I don't think it is much surprised."

"After all, Frost Star, she is Draco, a pure-bred red dragon with noble bloodline."

Frost Star paused when he heard this, and said,

"Faust... What about your team...?

Frost Star looked at Faust and asked, she actually had a bad premonition in her heart.

“...... All sacrificed, in the dragon gate.

Faust closed his eyes and replied.

This time, Frost Star did not speak, and the warm snow blue light in his hand gradually dissipated.

The temptation is over.

It seems that Rankopel is right... Maybe there was really an evil god who devoured Tallula's will, otherwise Tallulah would never have done such a terrifying thing before.

She and the patriots also had speculation in this direction for a long time, but now it has really become a fact in front of them.

"I suspect that Tallulah lost her mind a long time ago, and my team had several obvious chances of being saved at the Dragon Gate, but they all died because of Tallula's deliberate abandonment."

Faust said to Froststar.

Frost Star didn't speak, and the white rabbit just bit his lip in pain.

"Mephistopheles urgently needs treatment, Frost Star, please."

Faust said, even though his tone was a little anxious and panicked at this time.

“...... Take him to treatment. Froststar

finally spoke, not to mention that Mephistopheles did contribute to the survival of the integration movement, and no matter how violent and cruel Mephistopheles was, he should not have died at the hands of Tallula.

"Yes, big sister..."

A member of the snow monster squad immediately lifted Mephistopheles behind Faust to find the doctor, but he didn't take a step after picking up Mephistopheles, just looked at Frost Star.

"Big sister, you also go to rest... Fight, the battle is over, big sister..."

he said with a slight cry in his tone.

"You also rest, Frost Star, don't hold on, count me begging you, the snow monster squad is really lucky to have you as the leader."

Faust looked at Frost Star, who was almost unable to open his eyes in front of him, and said to her.

"I..."

Froststar said as she tried to barely stand up, but before she could finish speaking, she lowered her head, her body tilted suddenly, and Faust quickly supported her.

"What a stubborn white rabbit who is as stubborn as his own source stone skills... If I wanted to say such bad things about you before, I'm afraid you would have already pasted me and Ino's mouths with ice..."

Faust said a rare joke.

"She's overusing her Source Stone technique..." Faust

pointed to Frost Star's back—the Source Stone crystals on it had even begun to turn into thorn shapes, like ice picks, forming twisted crystal clusters.

The degree of infection of Frost Star has completely entered the advanced stage, at this stage, mutants will face sudden severe pain and spasms almost at any time, and every time they use the Source Stone technique, it is equivalent to accelerating their own death.

But Frost Star never hesitated and never regretted it.

"Please treat her well, she may need a long time to recuperate."

Faust handed the Frost Star, who was leaning beside him, to the member of the snow monster squad.

"I see, thank you, Faust!"

The snow monster squad member said gratefully.

Then another snow monster was summoned to hold Mephistopheles, and as soon as he carried Froststar on his shoulder, he and another member of the snow monster team ran all the way towards the Doctor's location.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this time, more ballista batteries arrived on the battlefield through Faust's air-dropped delivery drones, and these ballistae began to deploy rapidly as soon as they landed, venting fire in all directions.

Woooo

Countless arrows the thickness of children's arms flew out from the ballista battery, intertwining into a fierce web of firepower.

At this time, the Sakaz mercenaries who followed Faust also caught up, they joined the battlefield, and after strong reinforcements, the battle situation was stabilized at once.

The battle ended completely after about thirty minutes, and it can be said that Froststar eliminated ninety percent of the source stone living corpses with almost one person's strength, while Faust was responsible for the final ten percent of the finish.

Although occasionally one or two scattered source stone corpses would attack, this level of attack would be enough for one to three Sakaz mercenaries to take them down.

Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted.
