Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Grani muttered to herself, "Hmm...maybe she came for another mission?"

“The bounty hunters seem to have been routed,” Coral said, lowering her guard slightly when she heard that it was Grani’s colleague. “We’d better run.”

After all, this person in front of him had saved him and had come because of his plea for help.

Although someone with such a pure purpose seems to have come straight out of a knightly legend, Chlor has no one else she can trust now.

For now, she had no choice but to trust her. Besides, Coral felt that she didn't seem like a villain who had come for the knight's treasure.

If I had to say why, it would probably be because of the pure light in her eyes.

Yes, that's it. As for why I didn't suggest going to find the powerful Skadi...

Koro had never seen whether Skadi's eyes were just as pure, nor did she dare to look.

It's really terrifying; right now, all she wants to do is run as far away as possible.

Upon hearing this, Grani recalled the 'glorious' achievements of this colleague that his Rhodes Island predecessors had been explaining to him.

She was still somewhat skeptical (laughs).

She had been in Rhodes Island for a while now and was familiar with the atmosphere there.

We're all good people, it can't be that bad...

"Let's get out of here as soon as possible. Since there are other agents in this village, things might be easier."

Seeing her confidence, Kelore had no choice but to follow her.

'It shouldn't be that scary...' She looked at Grani, who was incredibly friendly, and felt a little more at ease.

"Could you contact her?"

Since that colleague is so powerful, maybe the village can too...

“Um, this,” Grani hesitated for a moment, then said as she pushed open the door, “Let me think about it.”

Then he stood face to face with several bounty hunters outside the door, staring at each other.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Before Grani and the others could react, the bounty hunters hurriedly signaled them to be quiet. "Don't attract that jinx!"

They were so nervous that they didn't even recognize the tomboy in front of them as the one who had wrecked their place earlier.

Even Chlor didn't recognize her.

"Is it really that outrageous?" Grani asked, shielding Chlor behind him as he tried to get information out of her.

"No bounty hunter would want to run into her! Anyone who dares to stand tall in front of her probably hasn't seen her destroy an entire city!"

After hearing this, Grani and Chlor were both stunned.

This is even more outrageous than the Rhodes Island version!

"No, who are you?"

Finally, the bounty hunters weren't completely blind, and they recognized the two.

Seeing this, Grani decisively led Chlor and broke through towards Skadi.

At this point, don't worry about whether it's scary or not.

It's important to save your life.

However, after rushing a distance, Skadi didn't see anyone, but instead encountered an unexpected person.

"You two, cover your ears!" the person, shrouded in heavy armor, said in a muffled voice.

143 Memories of the Past

"Someone...save...me...I...am...infected!"

The captain, who had been swaggering around in Drip Village with a group of men, felt despair when he looked at the white-masked man in front of him.

"Why did you hit so hard?" a white-masked man complained to his companion. "Take it easy, your body... sigh."

"I really didn't do this..." the black-robed, masked sorcerer, who was being complained about, stubbornly insisted, "I hadn't even cast the spell yet when he tripped and fell..."

"..." The white-masked man who had spoken earlier glanced at the warlock in the group.

Do you think I believe it or not?

Fall? He's supposed to be a bounty hunter leader with decent skills, how could he fall and get himself hurt like this?

He's about to die.

Seeing the Reunion Movement members acting as if no one else was around, Grani silently broke out in a cold sweat.

"You guys..." Big Bob saw this and was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Grani.

"This is... the Reunion Movement?" She swiftly raised her spear, pointing it at Chlor and Big Bob, the self-proclaimed bounty hunter she had just met, and said, "Watch out!"

"Uh..." Big Bob paused, looking at the small Kuranta standing in front of him without hesitation, shielding him from his injuries.

“These guys aren’t your average bounty hunters,” Grani said nervously, standing guard in front of Big Bob. “I’ve heard my Rhodes Island colleagues talk about their atrocities in Chernobog.”

"We've run into some trouble..."

Hearing this, Big Bob also gave up the idea of ​​being completely open and honest.

The short man in front of me is a good person.

Even though he knew he was infected, he never looked at himself differently, and he never gave up on himself, even when he was being hunted by bounty hunters.

Even when faced with the terrifying Skadi, she didn't abandon herself.

Now, even in the face of the Reunion Movement, which she perceives as ruthless killers, she still stands firmly in front of her.

Despite his small stature, he was so reliable.

Unfortunately, someone with ulterior motives like myself is destined not to walk alongside her.

Big Bob looked at the small man who stood firmly in front of him, a hint of shame flashing across his face behind the mask.

I am destined to let her down.

but not now.

He took a deep breath and shouted at the Reunion Movement members facing him, "Words are useless! Let's fight!"

Hearing this, Grani was stunned. "Brother, you weren't this reckless when you fought the bounty hunter before..."

Although she felt that the Reunion Movement members on the other side were not good people, she was still prepared to talk to them first. After all, there were so many of them, and she was injured, while Laura had no fighting ability.

The Reunification Movement members on the other side looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is the captain... planning to keep acting?

Alright then, what can I do? He's the captain.

"Quickly, quickly!" a white-masked man shouted cheerfully, "Arrest them all!"

In the blink of an eye, the two groups were locked in a fierce battle.

But Grani soon realized something was wrong.

This is... way too easy!

Do these integration movements really uphold martial ethics? They've all tied themselves up with Big Bob, but Laura has no one to protect her now.

But none of them actually tried to take her hostage.

"This is a bit strange..." Grani said, waving his spear while glancing at the surrounding battle out of the corner of his eye.

"This guy's crippled!" a Reunion mage shouted excitedly to Big Bob. "Take care of him first!"

The Reunion Movement members around him approached Big Bob with malicious grins.

But that battle... it was more like training than a battle...

Grani swore she had never seen such a martial spirit in an enemy; every move he made avoided wounds and vital points!

Now that things have come to this, she has a general understanding of the situation.

His techniques gradually became perfunctory.

Sure enough, the Reunion Movement members who were fighting against him also softened their blows.

really……

I guess right now, only Chlor, who doesn't have much combat experience, thinks it's very dangerous.

But Grani didn't directly expose him. After all, it was Big Bob's own choice to act, so she might as well continue to play along. There was no harm in it anyway.

Or rather, Grani felt much more at ease.

After all, the Mortica Mountains are so vast, who knows how many bounty hunters are entrenched there? If I rely solely on my own strength, it will be difficult to protect Krol from them.

But it's a different story if you have an entire combat squad.

Although the Rhodes Island veterans, including Meteorite, told her about the Reunion Movement's brutal acts in Chernobog, they also said that not all members of the Reunion Movement were like that.

Take the famous Patriot guerrillas, for example; they have always been protecting civilians.

Judging from the appearance of this group of Reunification Movement members, they probably aren't some vicious criminals.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be playing house with me here. They could just defeat me with overwhelming force and then force Chlor to comply, wouldn't that be better?
