Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

"There was anger in your eyes, but not surprise."

The Sakaz mercenary who walked out slowly looked at the white-haired girl of the same race with indifferent eyes:"Is it because you have anticipated my existence? After all, the hint I gave you...should be obvious."

"Yes, Captain Hedley’——I thought Tracy would have cut off your head and hung it on the flagpole to set a good example for others."

Even if he meets the person he least wants to meet in the wrong place, his talent for poisonous tongue seems to be innately bound to W, and he reveals it the moment he sees his old friend.

However, Hurd Lei's expression did not change at all, and W's provocation seemed to have no effect on him.

"You have become weaker, W... As usual, you can sense my approach."

Just saying a fact calmly was enough to make the face of the person speaking become ugly, but Hedley continued as if he didn't notice all this:"Also, the reason why I am standing here is because of you. You should be able to guess"

"Yeah yeah……！"

W's voice seemed to be suppressing some emotion, but his eyes were fixed on Hedley's face:"How could I forget... You are just like me... a bad mercenary"

"Mercenaries work hard for money. As long as the price is high enough, they will do anything, right? Hedley and W looked at each other without nodding or shaking their heads. The tall Sarkaz mercenary faced his own kind and former companions silently, without saying a word, but this pressure made W feel extremely unhappy.

"Since you didn't say anything, it seems I guessed something right."

Probably because of the increasing pressure from Hedley's silence, W's hand had unknowingly grasped the grenade launcher at his waist, and his eyes were fixed on the scimitar on the former's waist.

"Let me guess, what did you do to please your new master? I think most of the mercenaries who came here with you are no longer here, right?"

W's eyes showed a hint of ferocity, and Hedley's remaining eye also narrowed.

"No need to be so provocative - I did pay enough, so I'm glad you didn't bring more people to this city"

"What, do you want to bring it here as your qualifications for advancement? W showed a mocking look and retorted:"It seems that I really underestimated your shamelessness, Hedley, you——"

"——Ines is dead."

A brief sentence, but it was as if she was grabbing W's throat, interrupting her words. The white-haired Sakaz girl's eyes suddenly flashed, and she looked at Hedley, and even couldn't help but move her steps. Half a step forward

"Don't think I can——"

"——Mercenaries will pay the price for their broken promises, and she is my price. Hedley finally took out the scimitar from his waist, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he looked at W.

"——Your fate ends here... Take out your weapons, and maybe you can have a chance to die with me."

————Dividing line————

The bombardment from city defense artillery continued. Fortunately, everyone in Rhode Island hid in the complex underground structure of Sadien District in time.

The unstable underground structure cannot stop the continuous bombardment of city defense artillery, but the vast and complex space allows small groups of forces to shuttle through it. Without the guidance of artillery fire, even the city defense artillery cannot overturn all the underground structures of the entire industrial zone.

But Amiya and her group met another group of people

"You are...Miss Horn."

The brown-haired Carters glanced at the figure standing among the refugees, thought for a moment, and prepared to use that old acquaintance as a breakthrough.

"Miss Amiya...Thank you for the incident in Xiaoqiu County. If it weren't for Rhode Island, many people would be displaced."

The horn is grateful to the Carters girl in front of her and the forces behind the girl. As she said, although the final result of Xiaoqiu County is not perfect, it is good enough. If the forces behind the girl had not stepped forward in time, Without a helping hand, many citizens of Xiaoqiu County had no choice but to leave their homes and walk into the wilderness.

——Although it is to fight for a chance of survival, it is no different from death.

"……Xiaoqiu County?"

As expected, the conversation between the two parties was overheard by the male Feilin standing beside him, but it was not him who spoke, but a strange-looking machine in his hand. The words fed back from the machine showed that , there was a third-party force involved in this conversation.

Amiya was not too worried, but Lucille told her that the machine next to her was of very average workmanship. It could be concluded that it was a civilian model, and since the other party had already been careless about it, Wherever the pestle is, the openness and honesty on your part may be the beginning of a good dialogue.

"I've heard about what happened in Xiaoqiu County. Is it that city where you showed off your prowess... uh... what's your name?"

The words coming from the machine were hesitant, as if they were thinking about the name of Rhode Island. While Amiya sighed slightly in her heart, the young male Carters finally sighed and spoke calmly.

"It's Rhode Island, Luo Luo - your memory is really...indescribable."

Felin's eyes briefly stayed on the horn for a moment. When he saw the King of Propulsion, his pupils even flashed, and then he turned back to Amiya.

"Now, it's time for us to get acquainted again - my name is Feist."

Gently raising the machine in his hand to signal, the young man from Filmlin smiled slightly:"This is Luoluo here, my partner."
