Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

At this time, halfway through the expected route ahead of Rankopel, there was a pile of rubble.

Rubble piles are the most common sight in the Rem Bi Wilderness, where large and small rocks pile up into one small mountain after another, bonded together by weathering and rain.

This place has many uses, a resting place for business travelers... Or, the best place to ambush.

At this time, more than a dozen mercenaries had already occupied the place, and they had already received news through hidden channels that Rankopel and Fika were going to go to the Steel Radish Mine next.

These mercenaries were all burly, wolf-eyed, and it could be seen that none of them were good stubble, they were all old hunters who had been rolling in blood and dirt for quite a long time.

They had all converged at this time and were ambushed in this rocky beach.

“...... Marcello, I really didn't expect you to betray the Iron Eagle... I thought it would be Foster's Ruper cub, huh... It seems that loyalty is really cheap as thin among mercenaries.

A mercenary flipped through the information in his hand and said to a bald man on the other side.

"Hehe, each other, the iron eagle has recently distributed less and less materials and rewards, and the fall is just a matter of these few months, what about you, Scotty, are not also the second in command of the absurdity?"

The bald man pouted and said to him:

"At that time, I still heard from a distance that you were snot and tears fell with excitement when you first entered the mercenary group, didn't you end up becoming a traitor who ate inside and outside?"

......

Yes, these two are not a mercenary group at all.

Even...... None of these dozen people belonged to a mercenary group, but a scattered elite and traitors.

From their conversation, it can be heard that this group of mercenaries of more than a dozen people did not act with the large army, but secretly broke away from their mercenary group and chose to eat alone.

After all, the profit of this single order is too high, you must know that the mercenary group has always been cold-blooded and ruthless in dealing with traitors, but they are willing to take this risk this time.

But among these mixed mercenaries of more than a dozen people, there was a bounty hunter, and it seemed that his status was not low, standing side by side with the mercenary leader.

At this time, they had set up an ambush and were observing the situation ahead.

"Is this kid really worth so much? The steel radish mine is now a big hit, three percent of the shares, just the expected dividends, more than a dozen of our brothers will not have to worry about the next life.

The leader of the mercenaries holding the telescope said to himself in a somewhat incredulous tone.

He is the second-in-command of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and now he is also here, because he used to have a good character in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and he was elected as a temporary leader by others.

"That's worth a lot, let's just say that I didn't plan to go out of the mountain to do this ticket again, but to be able to force me out of the lair and take the risk to do it, it would definitely be a big profit."

The blind bounty hunter among the mercenaries grinned.

The bounty hunter, nicknamed Wilderness Rattlesnake and his real name was Daquil, has been a bounty hunter for nearly thirty years and is active in this area of Rembito.

Being able to work in this line of work until now, the experience and intelligence accumulated by him can be said to be far richer than ordinary people imagine.

"Let's all have a good way out, right? We can really say that we have robbed the list of the three number one mercenary groups now, and the words have been released over there, if we are caught, we will all have to be skinned alive.

The mercenary leader squirmed up and down with his hand holding the telescope, his tone still a little worried.

"Don't worry, I know this place very well."

Daquil's foot stomped on the ground and replied

, "There is a large weathered underground cave and passage under our feet, and there is only one entrance I know, and there are traps over there,

so we can leave directly from the ground."

"The three top mercenary groups, Blood Wolf, Iron Eagle, and Desolate Poison all have to be played by us, even if they send people to find us later, we will have long been hiding far away."

"Since everyone has decided to do this vote, everyone should understand the principle of high risk and high reward, right? Now we either develop together or finish together. The

leading mercenary put down the binoculars in his hand and said to him:

"... Cheng, anyway, there is no way back, instead of living a poor life and a hard life, it is really better to die, the life of the rich man over there is better than Colum ... Really TM erosion.

"Alas, to put it mildly, I don't hate them, I only hate myself for not being them."

Daquil immediately replied

, "That's normal, man, people hate privilege not because of the privilege itself,

but because they don't have it."

"You can listen to other countries, and they are all the same, and many people cry out about unfairness and unfairness all day long, but it is also because they are unfair at the bottom and not at the top."

"The blood money we earn from taking risks is not used for charity, it is for pleasure, to gain privileges, to go to the unfair top, to work."

Then, after Daquil finished speaking, he took out a black box the size of a finger from his pocket, and after opening the package, it was a cake made of some black plant debris.

That's chewing tobacco.

Formal cigarettes are actually not cheap because of the cost of cultivation, and many mercenaries or bounty hunters use its substitute - chewing tobacco.

How to say, it is generally made by taking some tobacco plants of the same family in the wilderness, plus the residues of the original plant, and adding a large number of food additives.

This is made into chewing tobacco, which, as the name suggests, is chewing tobacco.

Although Daquil has saved a lot of money over the years and can afford cigarettes, he is used to chewing and chewing, and high-grade chewing tobacco is not nothing, even more expensive than ordinary cigarettes, but very little.

"You're right, that's the purpose of making money, so when that Fika arrives, will we directly use explosives or shoot him to death?"

A mercenary looked at Daguil, who was pulling out a chewing cigarette, and asked.

"No, we caught it alive."

Daquil took out the chewing cigarette in the box and put it in his mouth to chew, and said with sharp eyes.

"Catch alive...? It may have to be tiring, but doesn't the employer say that you can die?

The leader of the observing mercenaries asked while adjusting the focal length of the telescope.

"Then I can teach you more, (spit out the residue of chewing tobacco), this person is Fick's younger brother, the first heir of the current steel radish mine."

"Fick naturally wants to get rid of it quickly, and it is even easier for us to kill this little Carters cub, but if we catch it alive, we can try to raise the price in turn."

"My ceiling is 40% of the shares in the Steel Radish Mine, after all, once Fika falls into our hands, then we have the initiative."

"If we bring Fika's affairs to the Rem Pito union, Fick will have to step down."

Of course, they wouldn't have done it as a last resort.

After all, if it is really stabbed, it is just a new owner of the steel radish mine, and it has nothing to do with them, and he can't get any of them.

But you have to try everything, don't you? If they don't, they have nothing to lose.

"This is also, after all, the more money this kind of thing is naturally the better, alas... After this one, we can all retire, Daquil, where are you going to go?

"I'm going to move to a place called Dosores over there in Bolívar, use the money to make connections, open a security company or something, and there's been a lot of investment over there lately, basically making money."

"This is done, all the principal is there, ah, I really want to move to Dosoles quickly, in addition, the promotional brochure over there is really beautiful, originally I was going to go to Xista..."

Daquil took out a chewing cigarette plug into his mouth again and said to him:

"Then I am not far from you, I plan to move to Columby, the pioneers over there have recently died a large piece of blessing, The conditions for immigration over there are now much more relaxed. "

Just go over there and open a bar or something, and then sell some underground intelligence part-time, it can be regarded as my old business changed to a civilized way of operation."

......

The conversation between the two men seemed to be quite confident, giving the impression that the five million lottery had been claimed and that they were now discussing what to spend next.

"Let's go according to the original plan?"

The mercenary asked Daquil.

"Yes, when their wasteland crawler arrives..."

Daquil finally spat out a broken mouthful of chewing cigarette residue and said to all the mercenaries:

"Let's use medium-powered explosive arrows

to destroy their tracks and destroy their mobility, and we will directly surround them and tie up Fika."

"My distant spies reported that Fika's car will pass here in about five minutes, the car is not a military wasteland crawler, and there are only three people on board."

"Fika, a Carters teenager, and a Pelo driver."

The mercenary said with some uncertainty:

"Then what kind of Fika is the first heir of the Steel Radish Mine, is this too bad to fool around outside, or is it pure and naïve fool?"

"If you want to change me to him, this time when I come to Rem Bituo, I must at least bring a brigade of bodyguards, and release several false routes as smoke bombs to confuse our people."

"That's three people in total... According to what you said, one is Fika, one is a driver, and the other is a Carters teenager similar to him, two Carters and Pelo... Doesn't this add up to obvious fat sheep? "

Daquil, there will be no fraud, right?"

Daquil thought for a moment and replied:

"I also sent someone to investigate Fika's experience after leaving Rembito, but it was a mess to see, but at least we got information that Fika was having a bad time."

“...... Rather, it is no different from exile, and as for what happened next, my people only investigated that he seemed to have gone to Usas once and never returned. "

Hah... Usasna place... I know everything.

The mercenary leader seemed to remember something, nodded, and said,

"Huh... This is also, so after we arrested Fika, the other two people still died according to the old routine?

Daquil said to the mercenary leader,

"... Forget it, just stun them, and don't make a fuss this time. This

was certainly not Daquill's kindness, after all, he learned that the uniform Rankopel and Macaoo wore was the standard uniform of a pharmaceutical company called Rhode Island.

Attacking other company employees at this time could cause unnecessary trouble, and if Rankopel and Macao changed into wilderness wanderer costumes, Daquil would definitely kill them without mercy.
