Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

As Amia and Warfarin's conversation came to an end, Rankopel ended his meeting with Kelsey early, and he walked out of the conference room with some blueprints and reports.

......

"Askalun."

After Kelsey was sure that Rankopel had left completely, he called.

A figure immediately fell from the ceiling almost instantly and stood in front of Kelsey.

That was one of Rhodes' covert mobile combat aces, the top assassin in Sakaz, Askalun, whose shadow was active in Rhode Island or the mission area of Rhode Island Command almost at any time.

"Do you think Rankopel... What do you think? Kelsey

looked at Askalen in front of him and asked.

"Very strong, to be honest, I wasn't sure I would take him right away, and he had already discovered me at the time."

Askalon said matter-of-factly.

“...... I know, hard work on you, Askaren, go take a break, and then Rhode Island's series of security tasks will depend on you. Kelsey's

emerald green eyes flashed, and no one knew what she was thinking, but just said so to Askalon in front of her.

......

After Rankopel left the conference room in Rhode Island, he did not stop much, but went directly to Chernoberg, which was driving side by side with Rhode Island, through the fast track.

At this time, Rankopel was standing on a high wall in Chernoberg, overlooking the scenery of this abandoned city, and from time to time he looked at the blueprint spread out in his hand.

The blueprints drawn by the surveyors of Rhode Island architecture were indeed pleasing to the eye, and even though Rankopel had not been exposed to this kind of expertise in this or previous life, it still felt very reasonable.

"It looks like there's going to be a pretty busy time ahead... Scold...... It's better to say that you can't be idle at any time now. Rankopel

closed his eyes, the high walls of Chernoberg had been damaged a lot in the previous natural disasters and wars, but the ground under his feet was still intact, not even many cracks.

Soon all the walls will be restored to their original state.

"Let's try my craft,"

Rankopel said silently, putting the blueprints and documents back to his waist.

After the final battle with the Black Snake, Rankopel fought together with the ancient and obscure blood demon soul and the sword armor, and the blood demon skills have improved considerably.

"Whew..."

Rankopel just took a deep breath.

Crash!!

Then he forcefully opened his right hand, and a flower of blood appeared between the palms of his hand, this flower was like a real plant, so real, as if it was not made of blood.

“——！！"

At this time, Rankopel slammed his strength!!

Boom——!!!

The flower of blood suddenly burst and expanded rapidly, Rankopel raised his right hand, and the flower of blood covered the top of Rankopel's head like a giant umbrella, sprinkling a scarlet halo.

Just a rough estimate, the diameter of this blood flower has reached about twenty meters.

Now, Rankopel has been able to touch the threshold of blood proliferation and activation, when he continued to multiply blood, and every blow of the long sword could multiply blood into a monstrous wave of blood.

Although this is not Rankopel's own power, he has also experienced the terrifying power of his own, and these experiences have also provided himself with extremely valuable reference value.

After having touched the threshold, Rankopel only needs to practice diligently and constantly temper in actual combat, and blood proliferation and activation will be able to be used skillfully one day sooner or later.

Even...... He could do better than Theseus.

This is Rankopel's self-confidence and what he demands of himself.

In the future, he may have to face more powerful enemies, and even leave the borders of civilization to go to places that have not yet been explored on the continent of Terra... What awaits Rankopel there is perhaps something even more terrifying.

Before that, Rankopel had to develop the Blood Demon and Jaston's Source Stone Skills to the extreme, and the blood-colored sword armor himself had to find a way to recall and master it.

He can only rely on himself.

After crossing the continent of Terra, he did not have a system or any guide to help him, his skills were trained one by one by himself, and the experience was learned by fighting strong enemies on his own.

But this is not bad, Lan Feng in his previous life also hated to rely on others.

This feeling of gaining strength on his own always makes Rankopel feel quite grounded.

Buzz....

Rankopel let out a long breath and withdrew his blood back into his body.

There are a lot of things that need to be done by yourself.

......

After this, Rankopel temporarily came down from the city wall, and he had to discuss this construction blueprint with his men, the most important thing being Truth and Gumi.

The two of them should choose to choose two suitable places on this blueprint to open a book house and a restaurant.

“...... Go find my bears.

Rankopel said as he walked along the path on the Chernoberg blueprint, remembering that the bears should have been near the park in Chernoborg's northern district, not far from him.

After about fifteen minutes of travel, Rankopel had arrived at the park in the northern district of Chernoborg, which had been baptized by artillery fire during the war and became potholed and uneven.

But...... Rankopel has seen a group of Usas planting trees, and the soil that had been tumbled up by shells has been gradually filled, and Truth is a member of this tree planting.

Rankopel watched as Truth carefully planted a sapling.

"Ah, leader."

At this time, an Usas who was planting trees spotted Rankopel.

"It's okay, you guys continue to work, it's all hard."

Rankopel smiled and waved his hand, and then said to the truth that turned to look at him:

"Come on, truth."

Truth immediately put down his tools, quickly walked up to Rankopel, and said

, "I'm coming,

leader."

Rankopel unfolded the blueprint, showed it to the truth, and said,

"I heard before that you wanted to open a bookstore and write by the way."

Truth immediately replied:

"Well, yes... That's right.

She was a little surprised, and seemed to know what Rankopel was going to say next.

"If you build this neighborhood, the flow of people must be very large, the scenery is also good, and it is a good choice to open a shop here."

Rankopel looked around, then pointed to an open space for construction and said,

"How is it here?" Open a bookstore here.

Truth immediately nodded in surprise and replied,

"Hmm! Right here! The place is indeed nice. Rankopel

asked:

"The truth... Can you ask the name of the bookstore you opened... What is it called? Truth

pondered for a moment and replied,

"... Book flavor. Rankopel

nodded and replied,

"What a beautiful name."

Truth responded with a smile:

"Actually, in addition to some books and publications I write, I will also provide some Usas special desserts,

afternoon tea and the like for people to enjoy while reading books."

"Actually... Leaders, while reading a book and enjoying afternoon tea, are usually the daily treatment that only the nobles of Usas, no matter how bad they are, can only be enjoyed by the upper elite.

"But I hope ... This kind of behavior can be like Victory, even ordinary civilians can take a break while reading ... That's my ideal, leader. Rankopel

immediately gave a thumbs up in encouragement and said

, "That's good, I'll remember to give me a discount,

haha."

Truth immediately said,

"This... How can you still collect your money..."

At this moment, Gumi from afar also jumped over, and when he saw Rankopelton, he exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother Rankopel!"

Snap!!

Gumi directly pounced on Rankopel's body with a bear hug.

"Haha, Gumi, long time no see."

Feeling like she had a cute and sticky sister, Rankopel touched Gumi's hair, then put her down and said to Gumi:

"Gumi, don't you want to open a Usas-style restaurant?" I think this neighborhood is quite suitable!

Gumi nodded and replied,

"Hmm! Right next door to the Bookstore of Truth! "

Well, another spot was booked directly.

"Rada! You're running too fast, and we didn't keep up..." At

this moment, around the corner behind Rada, Natalia, Rosalind, and Sonya also came.

"Everyone gathered around! Take a look at this blueprint, if you want to reserve a location to open a store or something, come and see. With

Rankopel's beckoning, the bears suddenly all gathered around, all arrived, everyone you look at me, from time to time let out an exclamation of admiration.

This is their future home, Chernoberg.

Natalia thought for a while, and said first:

"I will open a private school on the other side of the truth, and teach everyone some knowledge that only nobles know... I hope you can use it one day..." Natalia

eventually chose to become a teacher.

"Hah! Then I'll drive next to Natalia! I've wanted to start a boxing club for a long time!

Rosalind said in a bold tone to Natalia.

"What about you, General Winter?"

Rankopel looked at Sonya one last time.

"As the leader said before, let me be the sheriff of Chernoberg, I... He is a rough man, not very good at business and trading, so it is good to fight or something.

Sonya replied.

Lan Koper nodded, she was the only one of the bears who didn't know much about business, and it was indeed the most suitable for her to have him as a guard and sheriff.

"Brother Rankopel! Gumi has an idea!

At this moment, Gumi seemed to have thought of something, his face was very excited, and he said to everyone:

"How about this street being operated by our Usas Student Government Group in the future?" Let's find more native Usas craftsmen and turn this street into a Usasian street! Rankopel

pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said

, "Oh, that's a good idea,

Gumi."

"It seems that this will be a commercial street in the future."

If Chernoberg wants to revive popularity and vitality, the first thing to revive is actually commerce, so that money can circulate internally, and the birth of a commercial street in this environment is extremely important.

And considering that it is a Usas-style commercial street, it must be more distinctive and more acceptable to the local Usasians.

"I'm okay, can you assign my patrol tasks mainly to this neighborhood at that time?"

Sonya asked.

"Of course you can, you will take care of these neighborhoods in the future."

Rankopel agreed to Sonya's request without thinking.

When Sonya heard this, she immediately replied:

"Thank you for your trust, leader,

I will definitely do my job."

Rosalind on the side said

to Sonya:

"Wow, Sonya, what are you talking about so formally, it seems that you are solemnly taking an oath under the statue of Emperor Usas, it is really rare for you to talk like this."

Sonya replied

, "Such things are serious, Rosalind, this homeland is hard-won,

and we must do everything in our power to protect it."

Rosalind thought about it but nodded and said,

"You're right, Sonya, I'm wrong this time, people do have to be more serious sometimes."

Rankopel looked at the time and said to the bears:

"Okay, then it's so decided for the time being, everyone is busy first, construction will start here soon, I will report all your requirements."
