A Safe Journey Home / Suika Is Unbeatable at the Drinking Table

"They're not enemies, they're allies. Lift alert."

The convoy quickly approached the other side.

"Scout!" Upon seeing the person on the roof of the car, Chen Hui-chieh, who was in the lead, smiled.

"Miss Chen... what's wrong?" Scout jumped in front of Chen after the car stopped.

"Knowing you were going to evacuate from here, I asked my uncle to give me a group of people to come to the border to pick you up..." Chen said with a smile, pointing to the people behind him.

Chapter 418 Safe Return

"By the way, where's that girl, Suika?"

I heard she was involved in this operation too; Hoshiguma has been talking about it for a long time."

After Chen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the dense crowd, somewhat puzzled, but did not see Suika's figure.

Given Suika's personality, she should have appeared long ago when she saw me.

Hearing Chen's words, Scout turned his head to look at Amiya beside him, too embarrassed to speak.

Although Suika volunteered to cover the retreat, how could he possibly explain to Suika that when Rhodes Island had about a hundred people evacuating, she was left alone to face Ursus's army?

Sensing Scout's gaze, Amiya opened her mouth, but found that, like Scout, she couldn't bring herself to say, "Suika chose to stay behind and didn't follow."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Seeing the hesitant look on the two people in front of him, Chen's heart sank, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"During our evacuation, we encountered an attack from Ursus's High-Speed Battleship, and Operator Suika chose to cover our retreat alone..."

The Doctor honestly told what he knew.

After saying that, Chen took a step back in a daze.

Alone covering the rear

Facing High-Speed Battleship

She clutched her chest, feeling a sharp, indescribable pain.

"Then... where is she?"

Where is she?!

Chen's gaze gradually sharpened, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Just then, the Doctor's communicator buzzed, followed by a clear and familiar voice.

"Hey, can you hear me?!"

What are you doing standing there? The Ursus are catching up behind you. Keep retreating!

Everyone instinctively looked back and saw that, in addition to the "Good Kid" helicopter carrying Rosmontis that had been overhead, the "Bad Guy" helicopter carrying Logos was flying in from a distance.

Meanwhile, Suika was sitting by the open door of the helicopter, waving to the crowd.

In that instant, the tense atmosphere vanished completely.

Chen realized he had misunderstood something.

She looked apologetically at the Rhodes Island side.

"Perhaps we should retreat first, since the Ursus people are here."

Doctor spoke again.

"Oh, alright, everyone, follow me. The Great Yan border troops are on their way. We'll be safe once we meet up with them."

Knowing that Suika was alright, Chen felt much more energetic and immediately told Amiya and the others.

The group set off again, continuing southward. Just as the Ursus pursuers behind them could be faintly seen, the prominent Great Yan army flag stood like an impregnable wall on the hill ahead, filling the entire field of vision.

Led by Chen, Rhodes Island swiftly traversed the passage left at the foot of the mountain and entered the territory of the Great Yan.

The Ursus army, which had been pursuing them, stopped far outside the attack range of the Great Yan army formation.

Only then did the Rhodes Island team finally breathe a sigh of relief.

News of the convoy that escaped from Chernobog and ended up in the territory of the Great Yan quickly reached the Ursus Military command.

Upon receiving the news, the Old Nobility felt a wave of despair wash over them.

Logically speaking, the arrival of the Great Yan border guards should be considered a success for their plan.

But that's not actually the case.

Because the Great Yan army only stayed within its own territory and did not cross the border agreed upon by both sides.

If they choose to attack, they will be the aggressors.

The invasion of the Great Yan would not receive the support of the young emperor, and the other side could use this as a reason to refuse their request for reinforcements.

Their original plan was to let Chernobog enter the Great Yan territory, so that they could use the excuse that Chernobog was Ursus's property to enter the Great Yan. Then they could find some excuses and friction to justify their request for reinforcements.

However, due to Suika's presence, Chernobog stopped inside Ursus, losing its crucial excuse.

This pursuit of Rhodes Island only worsened the situation for the Old Nobility.

The loss of a High-Speed Battleship was heartbreaking for them. It not only meant that their control over eastern Ursus had weakened, but also that they had lost an important trump card in their fight against the young emperor.

In addition, Suika's actions severely damaged the soldiers' morale.

After a night of fighting, their side had consumed countless weapons and ammunition, yet not only were they left without a single survivor, they also suffered heavy losses.

In this battle, the Old Nobility not only failed to gain any of the expected benefits, but also paid an extremely heavy price.

Upon hearing the news, Grand Duke Baikal was so enraged that he vomited blood and collapsed unconscious.

While the Old Nobility of Ursus were weighing the losses of this battle and licking their wounds, the Rhodes Island group was holding a celebratory banquet inside Lungmen.

The food at the banquet came from Suika.

The drinks served at the banquet also came from Suika.

Although Chen said he wanted to host a welcome dinner, Suika said that she shouldn't spend money on things that could be obtained for free.

Besides, food bought outside might not be as varied and delicious as what she can whip up with a snap of her fingers.

After seeing the room full of delicacies from all over the country, Chen finally chose to keep quiet.

At this moment, Suika sat between Doctor and Chen, laughing so hard she was doubled over as she listened to them recount what had happened when they first met.

After the evacuation, Suika did not catch up with the Rhodes Island group who were rushing to catch up, but she unexpectedly encountered the plane carrying Logos flying in from the other side.

She transformed back to her original form and flew directly into the cabin.

Logos was also happy to see her. The two told each other what had happened. Suika learned that the reason Logos came so late was that he had rushed back after helping the Reunion Movement get rid of the Ursus army on the other side.

After all, the Old Nobility suffered such a huge loss; if it weren't for Logos' help, Talulah and FrostNova's group might not have been able to shake off the military's pursuit.

After learning that Talulah and the others had safely evacuated, Suika also recounted her experience of coming here.

Although all of this sounds surreal, logos says that once shock becomes the norm, he's no longer shocked.

After all, breaking through enemy lines single-handedly, taking control of Chernobog alone while withstanding the Ursus Military's attack, and destroying a High-Speed Battleship by himself are not things that normal people can do.

Forget about him, his mother is no good, and neither are the Sarkaz Demon Lords of all time.

After successfully rejoining the main group, Suika finally took a blissful nap next to Logos.

When she woke up, the group had just arrived at the Lungmen Outer Ring.

Looking down at Hoshiguma, she jumped off the plane and bounced into his arms.

Then, at Chen's suggestion, they went to the accommodation that Wei Yenwu had prepared for the Rhodes Island group and began the banquet.

Chapter 419 At the dinner table, Suika is the most invincible.

Many people quickly became drunk.

But no one said anything to them, because even ACE was in a good mood at the moment.

Keep in mind that this time they were facing the regular army of Ursus, and on their home turf, and during their retreat they were blocked by High-Speed Battleship.

With all these buffs combined, the final result was that not only did no one die and the Doctor was successfully rescued, but everyone also escaped unscathed.

If such a victory can't bring everyone a night of joy, then there's no victory worth celebrating.

Suika sat in the main seat, drinking very happily.

After all, she was the biggest contributor to this operation, so everyone wanted to have a drink with her.

At first, everyone was a little hesitant.

After all, there were over a hundred people. If each person drank even a single cup, let alone a single sip, they could get a normal person drunk to death.

But is Suika an ordinary person?

Obviously not. She's not just an ordinary person, she's not just an ordinary ghost either; she's a professional alcoholic.

When people came to toast her, she said, "Please, help yourselves, I'll drink this."

Then she would take that big beer mug and fill it up for each person who came in.

The operators who were drinking the Suika Wine for the first time were still in shock, but after several operators had drunk it, she remained calm and composed, calling out to the next person with an air of nonchalance. Only then did everyone realize that she was not joking.

The operators, who had never witnessed Suika's drinking prowess, couldn't resist challenging her after she slammed her hands on the table and declared, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but when it comes to drinking, everyone here is trash."

Seeing this, Logos quietly took out a camera, and then squatted in a corner with ACE and Scout, drinking and watching those "impulsive young people" face the despair, helplessness and miserable collapse of Suika Great Demon King at the table, and taking a picture of the defeated ones.

After finishing her round of drinks, Suika let out a satisfied burp, then walked over to Doctor, who was lost in thought not far away.

Hello, Doctor!

The Doctor curiously sized up the horned loli who appeared before him, holding a wine glass.

From their first meeting, he felt that the girl in front of him gave him a strange feeling.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was that made him feel strange.

He snapped out of his thoughts as the other person approached.

"Come on, even though you've lost your memory, it won't stop us from drinking."

I'll finish it, you can do whatever you want...

Suika familiarly put her arm around Doctor's shoulder and handed him his wine glass.

Looking into Suika's clear eyes, the Doctor downed his drink in one gulp.

Seeing him finish the Suika drink in one gulp, he exclaimed "Good!"

"Doctor is Doctor, much more straightforward than those 'Elite Operator' cowering in the corner."

Suika pointed to the ACE members hiding in the corner, who, upon hearing Suika's words, were not ashamed but rather proud.

He even waved to Suika with a smug look on his face.

Seeing the friendly interaction among the group, the Doctor smiled.

"You know me just like they do?"

Suika turned her head to look at him

"No, this is probably the first time we've met since we left Chernobog. My previous impressions of you were all based on other people's accounts."

Doctor was taken aback by Suika's words.

Seeing how familiar Suika was with the other veterans like ACE, he assumed she was one of the seasoned Elite Operator Amiya had mentioned.

But when Suika said that she was not only not an old person, but not even Elite Operator, he wondered if he had misheard.

Amiya, seeing the Doctor's incredulous expression, spoke up.

"Suika is indeed not Elite Operator of Rhodes Island. Like Radiant, she joined Rhodes Island after you went into slumber."

However, Radiant chose to stay on the main ship and, due to her formidable strength, became Elite Operator.

Suika, however, retained her operator status and chose to disembark and act independently.

This action was taken because we had connections with another of her partners, the Reunion Movement.

When the Reunion Movement encountered danger before, we all went to provide support.
