Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

[February 26

, 1094 AH] Lige, the otherworldly pardoner, has saved the village several times, leading the cornered Usas mutants to fight against Usas's forces in the tundra.

This is just over a month after he crossed over.

Lige, look at you, it's like another talula.

You adapt to the land so quickly, you don't look like a modern person.

The forgiver's sword is always sharp, and this sharpness makes Lige always unbreakable, but Lige is also always cautious and never crosses the red line, the red line that declares war with the Usas army head-on.

......

At this time, Li Ge was briefly resting with his soldiers.

Liege and Jacob were sitting face to face in front of the fire, holding bowls of steaming beef soup—booty just taken from an Usas outpost.

"Lige... To be honest, I..."

Jacob looked at Lee Ge at this time, a little speechless.

"Just say it bluntly, don't grind it."

Lige finished a small bowl of beef soup in one sip and said to Jacob.

Jacob thought about it, but still spoke:

"... How to say, Lige, I just wanted to remind you... Betrayal is commonplace in this tundra, and if one day... You are weakened, and perhaps some ungrateful jackal will turn its fangs at you.

"You sometimes have subordinates... Too trusting... I'm certainly not saying it's bad, because there are people who are willing to fight to the death for you because you treat them so much...

Liege looked at Jacob and said,

"Thank you for the reminder, Jacob, but fear will not solve anything, I am willing to trust them, but I have also established military law, if you disobey the bottom line, you will no longer be our compatriots."

Jacob looked at Lee Ge and exhaled and said,

"... To be honest, Li Ge, we never thought of fooling around with a demon guy in our lifetimes... Ah, sorry, living with a Sakaz, just... You really are different from the rest of the Sakats, Liger. "

You really know a lot of things... Li Ge, sometimes we can't understand what you say, moreover, you are really strong, just swing a sword at random, and those Usas thugs are all meat scum.

"You can still save people, the wounds and bones of the warriors we have come out, you just use the hilt of your sword to lightly touch the wound, just fine, life and death always seem to be controlled in your eyes as you think."

Li Ge smiled and said,

"Huh... After the prize, your tone seems to be saying something eccentric.

Jacob said

, "Haha, don't get me wrong, Lige, such a tone was spoken by the Usasians,

either fear or reverence."

"Alas, it just occurred to me that maybe not everyone is as you think, and we all have expectations for the lofty goals you and we said... Only, that's too far, Lige, too far.

"Perhaps the undigested grass roots and bark in our belly won't support us in seeing that goal."

"Like me, it's all dead anyway, just to have food to eat and live a few more days, Li Ge, you let me know that mutants can actually live, and live more meaningfully than before."

Li Ge nodded and said, "

I will do my best to open up this land."

But at this moment, a voice came:

"--Leader!!" We caught a traitor on our side, he took our grain and wanted to run away on the sly!

With that voice, a dusty Usas ran up and said to Lige.

"I'll go see, Jacob, you stay here and keep the campfire on my side unextinguished."

Lige said to Jacob, then stood up and went with the Usasian.

After a few minutes of travel, Li Ge came to the sturdy "traitor", who looked just an ordinary mutant, and even had an honest face.

"Why did you choose to do that? I remember that I never failed you.

Li Ge's tone was a little cold, he was clear about right and wrong.

"I just want to live... Lige, I just want to live..." The

Usas mutant was a little silent at first, and then he said loudly

to Lige:

"Lige, who can guarantee that we will continue to walk without a more cruel outcome?" The noble lords drove us to extinction, and then implicated those innocent poor people and children...?

"I'm sorry, Lige, but I really can't go on with you, your actions these days have attracted the attention of the upper echelons of Usas, and yesterday I even saw some kind of terrifying shadow hovering around..."

That lumberyard was opened by the Columbians, and although it was tired and bitter, it was much better than the mine in Usas..." Li

Ge looked directly at him and said to him:

"You can completely discuss this matter with me, why do you take the grain without saying a word and prepare to leave?" I said on the first day you joined my team that this behavior is tantamount to betrayal! The

Usas mutant responded:

"Then you execute me according to military law, Lige, I have no complaints, I am not afraid of fighting, I am afraid of slaughter and abuse without resistance... Usas... It has precisely the capital to slaughter us and abuse us. "

Kill me, Lige, I'm a traitor."

Li Ge was a little speechless.

He was indeed a traitor, but he could have chosen a better way to defect - for example, selling their position and direction of march to Usas, he could exchange for better conditions.

The food he took was only his own three-day ration, and he could have taken more.

"You go, I'll give you three days' rations, and after that, you figure it out yourself."

Lee Ge finally made a decision, he closed his eyes, cut the rope that bound him with a slight stroke, then turned and walked away, leaving without a hesitation.

"Lige... I thank you! It's true...... But...... But really..." The

mutant of Usas looked at Li Ge's back, and his throat felt as if a piece of red-hot iron had been jammed.

Li Ge did not turn to look at him, but walked back to the center of his team without saying a word.

"Let me say it one last time."

Li Ge said loudly to his team:

"If someone wants to leave the team, they must first say hello to me, our team is not a plate of scattered sand, you can leave if you want, come when you want."

"We are organized, disciplined, able to listen to commands, able to win battles."

"Now, let me ask one last time, is there anyone else who wants to leave my ranks?! If you have, stand up, I give you a chance, you can leave!

"But those who choose to stay are not allowed to leave the team unless it is not special circumstances!"

Lige's team looked at each other—his team was now smaller than Rankopel's iron guards, numbering only ninety people, and less than seventy capable of combat.

They remained silent for a long time, and three people stood up, and the moment they stood up, the eyes of dozens of people in the audience all looked at them, and these people were trembling as if they were burned.

"Let's go, let's go."

Li Ge looked at them and let out a long sigh, without much disappointment, which he had already expected.

"I'm sorry, leader, I'm sorry... We, we really..." The

men apologized to Li Ge repeatedly, as if they had done something terrible.

"People without perseverance and perseverance should not have stepped into the struggle I made you fight against fate in the first place, you just chose another path, and I have no intention of accusing you of anything."

Li Ge said to them.

"Leader..."

These people suddenly felt helpless.

"Let's go, let's go, I'll give you three days' rations, where you're going, I don't have much energy to pay attention, you have fought for me, I remember."

Li Ge looked at one of the mutants who stood up and said:

"Herman, in yesterday's Usas outpost siege, you were one of the bravest warriors, I personally saw you the first to climb the top floor of the Usas outpost and cut off the Usas flag above."

He looked at the other mutant again:

"Yusto, you still insisted on vigil when the warriors were very tired last night, your eyeballs were bloodshot, and you haven't had a good night's sleep in three days."

He finally looked at the last mutant:

"Sadiq, you are one of the few physicians in the team, since I established this small team, you and I have worked together until now, and at least ten mutants under you have escaped from under the scythe of death."

Li Ge looked at them, there was no anger in his eyes, but he said:

"No matter where you go, I bless you, you have fought for me."

After the Usas mutants were silent for a moment, their voices erupted:

"!! his Usas Empire! Fuck the brutal mutant pickets! Leader! We're not leaving! We're here to fight with you! Their

eyes were firm, their teeth were clenched—Usas was indeed terrifying, and his gaze and vast shadow were enough to strangle alive all the rebellious sprouts of his land.

But they were no longer afraid, and they were still willing to follow behind Lige.

"We fight to the death for you! Leader! You're right! We are warriors! We are fighters!! We don't want to run away anymore! A warrior deserves to die for a meaningful goal!!

They said to Li Ge, their eyes full of flexibility and strength.

"Well, this is decent, this is what a warrior should look like."

Li Ge nodded in an affirmative tone.

Tick

- and just then, the source stone communication machine pinned to Li Ge's shoulder sounded - a scout from far away in his own ranks:

"Leader!

We found a very large ruin ahead! There's a legion of mutant pickets over there delivering supplies, and they're searching for supplies!

Li Ge tightened the long sword of the forgiver behind his back and said,

"... Let's go, fighters. "

It's hunting time."
