W
Watchguard (Liang)
I knew we had to keep an eye out for those dirty criminals, yet the captain kept defending them...
W
Watchguard (Liang)
Those dirty sneaks slipped inside when we were changing shifts. They sabotaged our comms and monitoring facilities.
W
Watchguard (Liang)
Thankfully, you intervened quickly and prevented things from getting worse.
Perlica
Of course.
Zhuang Fangyi
Thank you for your help, Endmin. But...
Zhuang Fangyi
We do. Mi Fu just reported a new group of Stockade residents attacking the Field Logistics Depot. They're trying to get close to Wuling City.
Zhuang Fangyi
I'll preach calm and restraint in Wuling City for now. As for the rest ... we'll be counting on you.
Perlica
She knows that we're on good terms with Tangtang, and doesn't want us to be caught in a dilemma.
Zhuang Fangyi
The Stockade residents did more than just disable our monitoring systems.
W
Watchguard (Liang)
Endfielders...? Are the Cangzei pirates still out there?
Chen Qianyu
Well, those attackers ran away once they saw how good we are at fighting.
W
Watchguard (Liang)
Ugh. They spat on Wuling's goodwill and generosity...
Perlica
Do we have another situation?
Zhuang Fangyi
...Hmm. I know.
Chen Qianyu
Heh! I was hoping you'd say that!
Chen Qianyu
Mi Fu definitely has news about Tangtang. Let's head to the Field Logistics Depot right now!
Chen Qianyu
I get the feeling that Tianshi Zhuang is trying to give us a hint...
W
Watchguard (Liang)
We'll get the monitoring center back online shortly. Can you tell Tianshi Zhuang what happened here?
Radio
Chen Qianyu
There — look! Are the Bonekrushers on the move?
Perlica
But how could they attack this place without being detected...?
Perlica
Regardless, prepare to engage hostiles, team.
Chen Qianyu
Stockaders?!
Perlica
Don't get distracted. They don't look friendly.

Qingbo Stockade attacked the monitoring center...
Chen Qianyu
Does that mean Tangtang...?!
Perlica
Don't panic. Let's verify the situation first...

Chen Qianyu
All these people are wearing masks...
Perlica
Fight carefully. We'll need to check them for information we can use.

Sounds like we're getting closer.
Perlica
Endmin, can you perform a scan and look for potential traces?

Chen Qianyu
They packed up and ran at the first sign of trouble.
Chen Qianyu
Someone definitely planned this attack...
Chen Qianyu
But ... could the Stockade residents have avoided those Watchguards and Tianshi on their own?
Perlica
They probably had help ... maybe from someone who knows this place very well.
Perlica
Nothing is certain so far. We must find more information and intel.
Perlica
I think I heard someone.
?
???
I'll never quit...
Chen Qianyu
That's great... After all, it was Tangtang who helped us retake the monitoring center last time.
Perlica
But Tangtang is the Chief of Qingbo Stockade... It doesn't matter if she knows of this incident. It won't bode well for her.
Perlica
None of them are people we knew.
Perlica
I don't think we know any of them.
Perlica
Did something happen ... at Qingbo Stockade?
W
Weak Stockade Resident (Smasher)
Hurh. Just gonna throw us in a cage?
Mi Fu
Tsk. Chatty. Just do your part in the investigation.
W
Weak Stockade Resident (Smasher)
You should know exactly what Qingbo Stockade wants.
Mi Fu
...Bring this lot to Wuling and keep them there.
Chen Qianyu
Mi Fu!
Mi Fu
Why are you here...?
Mi Fu
Endmin, I'm afraid the "Darkmask" card won't work this time.
Mi Fu
Boss got me on this because she wants the situation contained.
Mi Fu
So... You're willing to step into this mess?
Mi Fu
Hah...! I see why my boss and Tangtang both enjoy your company so much.
Chen Qianyu
No way! Tangtang... The Supreme Chief would never do that!
Mi Fu
"Supreme Chief"...
Mi Fu
Now that you've mentioned it, I'm getting worried myself...
Perlica
If you intend to enter the Stockade and investigate, Endfield will offer full support.
Mi Fu
I don't have time to worry about that little kitty... But her ability to keep her people in check worries me.
Mi Fu
The other Tianshi treat Qingbo Stockade as less of a concern than the Aggeloi, but I don't agree...
Mi Fu
Much appreciated. Did my boss send you here?
Mi Fu
Tangtang? Hmph. I've been meaning to find her.
W
Weak Stockade Resident (Smasher)
THIS IS OUR LAND! GET OUT!
Mi Fu
Situation has changed. Time for an actual battle with actual weapons.
Mi Fu
Her Stockaders wounded my people and tried to burn down the Field Logistics Depot.
Mi Fu
There's been bad blood between the Stockade and the City for a decade. If this continues, nothing good will come of it.
Mi Fu
Alright. Then let's be off.
Chen Qianyu
Oh, it's from Tianshi Zhuang.
Perlica
It's supposed to keep out dangers that include the Blight, Landbreakers, Aggeloi ... and even Wuling City.
Perlica
...No response?
Chen Qianyu
This is the way into the fort, right?
Perlica
This gate feels like a physical manifestation of the gulf of misunderstanding.
Chen Qianyu
But the Stockaders I've met are pretty friendly... The Stockade and the City just don't get along, despite all these years.
Perlica
Don't think too much of it. Let's call Tangtang again.
Perlica
That's true. Tangtang does not seem like the quiet and passive type...
Chen Qianyu
So, what about Tangtang?
Chen Qianyu
Guess that's our only option...
Perlica
Alright, team. We should head over once we're ready.
L
Li Zhui
*Sigh*
Chen Qianyu
You hurt?
L
Li Zhui
No. Just that I hardly did anything in this fight...
L
Li Zhui
Captain Mi is probably gonna make me run fifty laps again...
Mi Fu
Ahem. Yes, boss! I'm here!
Zhuang Fangyi
Are you en route to Qingbo Stockade?
Chen Qianyu
Tianshi Zhuang, we're working with Mi Fu to sort out this mess!
Mi Fu
Hold on. Why are you in this channel too?
Zhuang Fangyi
I've opened this channel to Endfield.
Mi Fu
Isn't this supposed to be our private channel?
Zhuang Fangyi
It's alright. Endmin, please look out for Mi Fu.
Zhuang Fangyi
She has a habit of neglecting her own safety.
Endministrator
Erm, perhaps I should block the team from this channel.
Mi Fu
What's the point? It's already done.
Perlica
I don't see anyone...
Chen Qianyu
They're probably helping to put out the fire. We should hurry over and help too!
Perlica
These Stockaders are out for blood. Tangtang would never do this...
Perlica
Let's find Mi Fu quickly.
Mi Fu
Follow me. I know a way to enter the Stockade fort.
Chen Qianyu
Endmin... Tangtang hasn't contacted us for quite a while.
Chen Qianyu
Did she run into trouble?
Perlica
Hmm... The enemy is lurking in Wuling as well.
Perlica
We should go check on Qingbo Stockade.
Chen Qianyu
So many people here...
Perlica
Most were just knocked unconscious. The watchguards spared them.
Chen Qianyu
Maybe we shouldn't keep running around. There's an important thing we need to take care of.
