Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

Everyone looked at Ayafara and waited for her to announce the outcome that everyone already knew.

“...... The volcano is about to erupt. When

Ayafara said this last sentence, she thought that her voice would tremble, but when she actually said the words, she found that her tone was unexpectedly calm.

It seems that just a mathematician keeps using various logics and formulas to bland calculate the final result:

the volcano is about to erupt.

"What?! And this kind of good thing?!

Just when everyone was a little silent, Dolly's voice suddenly reached the ears of Rankopel and Ayafara—a voice that turned out to be so high and pleasant.

"Mr. Dolly...!!"

Ayafara suddenly shouted to Dolly a little angrily, a volcanic eruption always means that life is lost, and the Rhode Island team is on the volcano at this time.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was rude."

Dolly immediately apologized to everyone, and continued:

"But as compensation, I will also try to help everyone, but don't underestimate me, there are many things I can do here!"

Then Dolly squinted and smiled and did a backflip in place.

"In short... Everyone. Ayafara

took a deep breath, turned her body, her eyes were resolute, and said to everyone in a serious tone:

"There is not enough time left for us, the source stone flower that Mr. Rankopel just picked is already an emergency warning, we must hurry up."

"Now further up... The risk was too great, so I decided to plant the volcanic activity detector directly in this location, and everyone immediately evacuated.

But at this moment, Weis's words made Ayafara look stunned:

"I'm afraid it's too late, Miss Ayafara."

"The reconnaissance drone just showed that more than eighty percent of the mountains under our feet have deformed and ruptured, and a large amount of magma flowing out has completely blocked our back road."

“...... At present, it seems that we can only go up, maybe usher in a turnaround. Rankopel

nodded and also said to Ayafara:

"Hmm... Ayafarah, go on, trust me, and Dolly.

"If things really get to the last step."

"Dolly and I are your turnaround, you don't need to pray for anything else, you rely on something else."

"I'm sure I'll take you away safely."

Dolly floated to Rankopel's side, and said in a serious but somewhat funny tone:

"Of course, of course! Count me in one!

Ayafara was a little speechless for a while, and the extreme realm on the side also said in a confident tone:

"Yes, I can trust Mr. Rankopel one hundred and twenty percent!" Aren't you too? Leader?

"Agree to continue up, please raise your hand!"

Yikes!

Everyone raised their hands at the same time, moving quickly and uniformly, without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmm... Well!

Ayafara took a deep breath, finally suppressed the somewhat moist crystal under her eyes, and said:

"Then please!" Let's keep going! "

......

After receiving the news that it was certain to continue upward, everyone immediately returned to the camp to make final preparations, and then it was time for the last leg of the road to the crater.

"Meh~"

And Dolly rolled around and with great joy, bleating, and soon rolled to Rankopel's feet again.

“...... Are you so excited every time you hear about a volcanic eruption? Dory? Seeing

Dolly tumble over, Rankopel finally tightened the backpack of the volcanic activity detector behind his back and asked Dolly, who was jumping happily on the side.

"Ahhh... That's okay too.

Dolly immediately stopped his movements and floated towards Rankopel, saying

, "The main thing is the sense of surprise,

and the sense of surprise is very important!"

"But Kinawea is a surf spot I went to more than 30 years ago... I remember that after I finished playing with the lambs, there was a very drastic geological movement here, and the whole volcano shook.

"Soon, the crater was covered in rich ash and rock, and it became an extinct volcano, which was a shame at the time, because the environment and temperature here were among the top three volcanoes on my list."

"Alas... In this way... It is estimated that I have not had to play here for decades or hundreds of years.

Dolly's tone was rather pitiful, but he became excited again in the back, and he even jumped and rolled several 360-degree backflips on the spot, his eyes narrowed into a line.

"Ahhh... You said that. Rankopel

looked at Dolly and said,

"It was indeed an extinct volcano before, but later because I had personal needs, I opened a can."

And the cheerful Dolly didn't seem to react, and asked in a jumpy tone:

"Open the can? What do you mean? Did you open a can of beer under a volcano? Rankopel

waved his hand and corrected

, "No,

I mean I opened a tank for this extinct volcano."

"Uh... To be more specific, more than a month ago, a column of gas burst out from a punch high in the air and shaved a large layer diagonally to the top of this crater.

"Then I threw a whole vein of source stone, about ten kilometers into it, and the volcano erupted on the spot... For a long time after that, the volcano should be quite active.

Dolly still hadn't reacted, and he said joyfully:

"That's great, I have fun again, this is really good news, thank you for slicing a large layer of the top of this volcano with one fist and throwing a whole ten kilometers of source stone mine into it-"

As he spoke, Dorly's eyes narrowed into a line suddenly widened, and his originally cheerful movements also stopped.

"What did you say?"

He suddenly looked at Rankopel, with an extremely incredulous look in his eyes, but felt that this seemed to be very reasonable.

"Uh... It's literally.

Rankopel just shrugged and said to Dolly.

At that time, Lan Kepel, who had opened the overload steamed blood under the support of the black snake, was simply powerful to a whole new realm, and the column of qi punched out was enough to flatten the peak of a mountain.

Only in this way could Rankopel barely confront the essence of that terrifying source stone of more than ten kilometers.

After all, overload blood steaming is a source stone technique that is almost impossible to establish in theory, even with the blessing of the black snake, but it is almost certain to die if it is opened -

but during that duration, I am afraid that Rankopel's strength can be compared to the Witch King of Guleitania, and the sword armor of the Blood Hades that he summoned in Chernoberg himself before.

It's really thanks to Amia that she saved herself.

"Well, Rankopel, even among all the people I have seen in history who deserve to be remembered, your strength strikes me by the strangeness."

"But great power shouldn't be without cost, right?"

"I saw the Sorcerer King of Laitania cast spells a long time ago, and in an instant he could take over all the Warlock Towers of the city-states of Laitania, turning these giants into all the parts of the music he composed."

"It's no exaggeration to say ... Rankopel.

"In the hands of the Witch King, all of Leitania was used by him to vent destruction... Musical instrument.

Rankopel smiled, pointed to two-thirds of his already pale hair, and said

, "Yes,

any victory comes at a price."

"But I'm still relatively light, many of the enemies I have encountered along the way are deadly enemies, if I can't bear this price, then I would have buried it in the soil and rotted."

Dory immediately replied with some admiration:

"It's really open-minded, and you have another spirit that I admire, Rankopel."

Rankopel waved his hand and said,

"I think that if I had to choose anyway, the thickness of life is much more important than the length."

At this time, Ayafara and Polar Realm were already shouting in the distance:

"Mr. Rankopel! Mr. Dolly! It's time to go! Extreme

Realm even said while still waving the hand in his hand..." "Extended pink marshmallow."

Rankopel and Dolly looked at each other at the same time and smiled at the same time.

"But... How are you going to direct those little black sheep to listen to you? Dolly, they're still running around.

Then, while walking with Dolly in the direction of Ayafara and the team, he asked Dolly next to him.

"Ahhh... It's simple, with [shout].

"Say sentences that interest them, like a good surf pool on top of a volcano, free ice cream, sparkling gadgets, um... These.

"I've already called them, and now they'll go up with us."

As Dolly said, Rankopel also saw that the little black sheep walking around were also jumping jubilantly and approaching the team up the mountain, and some even went beyond the front of the team and went all the way up.

The red volcano rises from the mountainside, and pink clouds rise.

This fantastic scene also made everyone feel like they had fallen into a fairytale dream, and even the gloomy mood brought about by the imminent eruption of the volcano was much diluted.

"Oh... Rankopel, it seems that I just shouted a little harder, they seem to be a little anxious.

But not long after, Dolly who was walking side by side with Rankopel on the mountain rock said to himself in a somewhat strange tone.

"So what's wrong?"

Rankopel also did find that the speed of the little black sheep beside them had only been a little faster, and asked.

"I'm afraid they're going to give us a ride so they can get there soon... Rankopel. "

And it's ... In your human language..."

"It is a black car that cannot be refused."

Dolly replied.

"Hmm-"

As soon as Rankopel heard the words black car come out, Ayafara in front of him let out an exclamation.

It turned out that a small black sheep running from behind gently arched Ayafara directly onto her back, and then bleated and rushed forward.

"Little

black sheep, little black sheep..."

And Lina, who was holding a small black sheep on her chest and stroking forward, suddenly found that her arms were light, and then her body inexplicably rose, jumping forward quickly.

"Haha... I am the knight of fairy tales today!

And what stunned Rankopel the most was the extreme realm, the little black sheep arched, the extreme realm turned over and rode extremely smoothly, and the transmitter in his hand was actually held by him in his hand and raised into a spear posture.

Then he even took the initiative to let the little black sheep accelerate all the way forward, and even surpassed Ayafara for the first time.

"Well, it's indeed a novel experience, then I'll also experience this 'black car'."

Rankopel shrugged, heard the sound from behind, and landed a backflip firmly on the back of the little black sheep that rushed over, and rushed straight to the top with the rest of the team and the flock.

At this moment, the rugged and difficult volcanic road seems to become a track for the little black sheep to race against each other, and the lord of the sheep hangs safely at the back of the team, but will never be left behind.

The love of my life.

Love is like a volcano.

Oh.

And our little Adele.
