Bent Fate (An Arknights Fanfiction)

Chapter 81

(Y/N) finally catches up with the rest, not because of his increased determination, however.

The D.S.G. finds the corpses in puddles of fresh blood now leading out of the road, and into the vast tiled grounds of the city square.

They looked back at the Doctor catching his breath.

"Wait..." (Y/N) huffs, raising his palm. "... this should have been obvious.... right....?"

The operators exchanged glances.

"We get it, yeah, but you know, maybe you want us to arrange a certain formation?" Blaze asks him.

(Y/N) lifts his gaze, taking a look around. "We do need to conserve ammunition..."

- "It's them!!" a masked sarkaz yelled, pointing at the Rhodes Islanders. "We're just in time!"

"Fuck..." (Y/N) muttered.

Sarkaz mercenaries blended in with the other Reunion soldiers began appearing on all other roads leading to the square, except for the road the Islander's are on.

"Fuck..." (Y/N) repeats in a more depressed tone.

Blaze pats him in the back. "We've done this many times already."

"That's the point!" he spoke in a guttural voice.

"You mean to tell me they hid themselves and allowed Flamebringer through here?" Meteorite scoffs.

Without warning, the enemies sprinted forward.

(Y/N) gasps, then shouted, "BREAK THROUGH!! GET IN THE TOWER!!"

Texas draws her blade out and leads the way.

Cyclone and the other operators immediately joins her in the run.

"SPEARHEAD, GO!!" (Y/N) yells at them.

"What?!" Onyx asked turning to Blaze for clarification.

"Means to literally form up like we were the tip of a spear." the latter explains, lifting her chainsaw as she moved to the rear. "Texas, I'll take your place!"

Onyx and Liskarm fired forward.

Matterhorn raised his shield high moments before impact, hurling grunts aside as their line collided with the mob.

Silesia cleaves through the enemies on his side with the back of his hammer, with Vanilla on the other side doing the same with her halberd.

Blaze runs faster as they penetrated the enemy's staggered formation, her chainsaw maintained at the front, grinding those who weren't fast enough to avoid her, while those that did dodge the chainsaw are sliced by Cyclone, Morifolium, and Texas.

Behind them, Meteorite and Suffering each fired frag rounds, blowing up some and halting the advance of those behind the explosions.

"GO!" (Y/N) yells at the snipers as they hesitated running at first. "GO!!"

At the second go, he was directing Mostima forward.

The sankta complies immediately. Moving to the front. She aims her wand and sets off a smaller explosion, clearing the enemies on their path.

(Y/N) twists as he ran, pointing a finger. "Exusiai, Satell, don't shoot unless they get closer."

The two marksmen nodded quietly.

Meteorite loads another bolt, but then jerks her head down as an enemy's own bolt whizzes by. She accidentally squeezed the trigger in the process, and her bolt explodes at the face of a sarkaz centurion.
