Chapter 155: Our Doctor Who Brought Kevin Is So Skilled
Ten minutes ago,
"Doctor, Duke Windermere sent a transmission five minutes ago. They have already evacuated White City... What should we do?"
Amiya tightly clutched the translated transmission report in her hand.
"Amiya, look, on this battle line, what have we, Rhodes Island, become?"
The Doctor did not comment on that matter. Instead, she pointed at the flag representing Rhodes Island's main ship on the sand table.
"The spearhead?"
"An overly prominent tactical position will only invite strikes from the Military Commission. So, we have only one path left..."
Her fingers lightly tapped the table. This decision was imperative.
Although she didn't understand why both Kal'tsit and the elite operators seemed so secretive when talking about her past,
at least for now, the Doctor did not want to see unnecessary sacrifices. So, this order was imperative.
"Retreat."
"...Mm, Doctor, I understand. What about Dr. Kal'tsit?"
"She will agree."
"Mm."
As if right on cue, the old lynx walked in from outside and agreed to the Doctor's plan.
Her expression remained faint, her hair split and messy, but the fatigue in her eyes was impossible to hide.
The non-stop surgeries day and night these past few days had placed a great burden on her. Wounded were brought in every day, and relying solely on the ordinary operators of the Medical Department was simply not enough.
For those with severe injuries, veterans of the Medical Department like Kal'tsit and Warfarin still had to step in.
Anton had been working overtime for five consecutive days. But the more these back-to-back days piled up, the less she complained, despite her usual habit of slacking off. At most, she would grumble about Kal'tsit giving her a raise?
"Then it's decided. We..."
The Doctor was about to finalize it. The three people with the highest authority on Rhodes Island were already gathered; there was no need to call a meeting.
After all, it would just be a procedural act that affects efficiency.
But before she could finish speaking, the cufflinks on her hood began to glow with a faint blue light.
"?"
The space behind the Doctor shattered like a mirror. A white-haired man stepped out from within, wearing casual clothes that were vastly different in style from what the three of them wore.
But set against his excellent appearance and demeanor, he didn't seem too out of place no matter where he appeared.
"Doctor, we meet again."
"And Amiya."
"And... Kal'tsit."
When his gaze turned to Kal'tsit, Kevin paused. His impression of this "Kaslana family member" wasn't actually very deep.
Apart from a few brief conversations and that letter last time, their interactions could be counted on one hand; they could hardly be said to have any friendship.
"I thought you weren't coming."
The Doctor pushed back her hood, strands of white hair falling down. It was hard to tell what expression was on her fair little face.
She wasn't angry because Rhodes Island didn't have that kind of standing. He didn't owe them anything; on the contrary, Rhodes Island owed Kevin a great deal.
Both Amiya and the Doctor were very clear about this point.
So, even if he hadn't replied to her message, she didn't hold any resentment in her heart...
Alright, she admitted there was a little bit, but only regarding the act of being stood up itself.
At least reply to the message, even if it's a refusal?
"I was held up by some matters before. And your vital signs did not indicate you were in danger."
Kevin gave a simple explanation.
"Forget it. Treat me to a meal, and we'll consider this matter over, alright?"
The Doctor wore a relaxed smile on her face.
But before Kevin could answer, Amiya chimed in at just the right moment:
"Doctor, with your authority level, eating in the Rhodes Island cafeteria is free. As long as you don't waste food, you can eat as much as you want... Uh, Doctor, why are you looking at me like that?"
Feeling the Doctor's faintly piercing gaze, the little donkey felt somewhat shy and averted her eyes.
"Amiya... sigh, never mind..."
"It's fine. Let's go."
As it happened, Kevin also had some matters to discuss with the Doctor. Having stayed in Yan for a while, he had roughly come to understand the principle that "matters are best discussed over a meal."
"Let's go!"
Placing the command pen on the table—what sand table, what tactics? They had lost their meaning.
Our Doctor who brought Kevin is so skilled! Just coming up with that combo of selecting personnel, accumulating DP, and deployment consumed six boxes of Sanity Potion.
And even then, we still had to worry whether Kevin's skill would wipe out the entire enemy side too quickly, resulting in a shortened duration that sacrificed the Doctor's gaming experience.
"Ah, Doctor, what about this retreat plan..."
Amiya held the original document in her hand. Seeing the Doctor hastily heading out, she quickly called out to stop her.
"Retreat? What retreat? Amiya, you need to pay more attention to resting these next few days. Look at you, you're so sleepy you're getting confused."
The Doctor wore an "astonished" expression, acting as if she had no idea what Amiya was talking about.
"But..."
Didn't you just say it yourself? The face-changing is too fast! Amiya felt wronged. Once again in her young life, she witnessed the treacherous nature of the adult world.
"No buts. You must have misheard. That's settled then. Kal'tsit, I'll leave this to you."
Was this because the Doctor had been suppressed too much these past few days and rebounded sharply upon encountering a turning point?
Watching the two figures leave, Kal'tsit's eye twitched slightly. However, she didn't say anything. She simply walked over to the Doctor's original seat and briefly flipped through the unprocessed documents.
"Dr. Kal'tsit, then what now?"
"To Londinium."
"?"
A question mark popped up above Amiya's head. Go right up to Theresis's face? To serve as target practice for the Fragments Tower?
"I thought my statement was clear enough. Amiya, bring the Rhodes Island main ship close. It's that simple."
Dr. Kal'tsit seemed... unexpectedly in a good mood?
Amiya was stunned for a moment. But out of her inner trust in Kal'tsit, she still headed towards Rhodes Island's control hub.
Since Dr. Kal'tsit said so, there surely wouldn't be any problems, right?
...
Rhodes Island cafeteria. Since it wasn't mealtime, foot traffic was low—one could even say pitifully few.
Taking their trays from Matterhorn, the two sat facing each other.
"...An invitation?"
The Doctor was stunned. She hadn't expected Kevin's purpose for coming would be this.
"Yes. Not just you, but also Ace and W. As for FrostNova... she should also be on Rhodes Island?"
Kevin's deep gaze seemed to penetrate Rhodes Island's thick hull walls and linger somewhere.
"An invitation... of course that's possible. But from here to Gouwu... Sorry, I asked a very silly question."
Halfway through her sentence, the Doctor remembered how Kevin had appeared earlier. Based on her understanding of this man, since he had extended an invitation, he must already have solutions for various potential problems.
"No need to worry. In exchange, I will help you resolve—that."
Kevin raised his head. His gaze, flat and devoid of any fluctuation, turned towards Londinium. There, towering structures cast large shadows upon the land.
Its name—the Fragments Tower!
