Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

"What? A new mission? We're actually going on a mission with this senior?"

Upon hearing Shen Yu's instructions, Roland and Azure Echo were immediately shocked, then found two rocks to sit on and fell into deep thought.

However, at the same time, Don Quixote and Scarlet Cross, who had received orders, also arrived. Upon seeing the Azure Echo, the former immediately stepped forward excitedly and said:

"Hello, are you the renowned Mr. Azure Echo in the city? I am Don Quixote, and I never expected to have the honor of becoming your colleague."

However, faced with Don Quixote's excited introduction, Azure Echo glanced at the Hollow Knight in front of him, then lowered his head dejectedly, resting his chin on his hands, and said:

"Forget it... it's just a few more colored titles, what's the point?"

After witnessing Azure Echo's performance, Crimson Cross, who had accompanied him, frowned in confusion and then stepped forward to inquire:

"I'm telling you, Roland is one thing, after all, he sparred with the vice-captain; Azure Echo, you're a Color-level finisher, how come you have this attitude after just joining the company?"

"Oh, it seems that even after spending so much time in the Red Cross Association, your eyesight hasn't improved at all?"

Upon hearing the words of the Crimson Cross, Azure Echo grinned and then pointed to the Hollow Knight standing beside Shen Yu, observing the city:

“Our new senior colleague possesses power far beyond imagination, and the upcoming mission requires our current highest-ranking officer to accompany him—do you know what that means?”

"What? Could this senior be someone on the same level as the captain and vice-captain?"

Upon hearing Azure Echo's words, Crimson Cross gasped, then found a rock to sit on, and together they entered a state of self-doubt.

Although he had no idea what had happened, seeing these top-notch finishers in this state, Don Quixote seemed to understand something as well. He also found a place to squat down and began to doubt himself.

"Uh... wait, why is this thing contagious? You guys are supposed to be top-tier finishers, can't you be a little stronger? And Don Quixote, what happened to you too?"

After seeing everyone's performance, Shen Yu couldn't help but complain, then used the communication device to contact Dante:

"Hello, is this Dante? Although I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons, the Five Fingers are planning to target Ryoshu in your team—and give me your current coordinates."

After informing the other party of his coordinates, Dante put down the communicator and relayed the next information to the remaining members. However, upon hearing the other party's words, Gregor stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and looked at the L Corporation armband on Dante's right hand, asking:

"So, all those guys with Five Fingers were infected by Ring Fingers and are planning some kind of collective suicide performance art?"

After hearing Gregor's bewildered statement, Sinclair thought for a moment, then carefully spoke:

"Could it be that the leaders recently planned to expand L Company's jurisdiction, encroaching on Five Fingers' territory, and they're planning to strike first?"

However, right after Sinclair expressed her thoughts, Heathcliff chimed in with a comment:

"What? Those guys may not be very smart, but they can make a huge fuss over a barbershop. They wouldn't be stupid enough to declare war on a World Wing so easily, would they? I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to come looking for death."

"Click-clack-click-clack".

"No. According to the commander, the ones targeting us are Five Fingers from another world. And it seems they've successfully infiltrated our former LCE company."

After giving more detailed information, Dante noticed that Ryoshu had been silent to the side, and then asked him:

"Click click click, Liangxiu, it seems like Five Fingers' target is you."

"Ok, I know."

After hearing Dante's words, Ryoshu silently took a drag of his cigarette, then spoke:

"It must be those guys from the Spider House. But the question now is, what are the leader and his men planning to do next?"

"Ha, what are you talking about?"

After hearing Ryoshu's words, Heathcliff scratched the back of his head in confusion, then asked in bewilderment:

"With the boss's fighting ability, he can just go over there and break all five of his fingers."

"Idiot, haven't you noticed that you've been preparing and dealing with something all along?"

After hearing Heathcliff's speech, Otis grumbled unhappily, then looked at the library in the distance and said:

“At first, I always thought that the leader was preparing a large amount of singularity technology to deal with the threat from the library. But after seeing the strength the leader displayed when fighting that terrifying monster in that strange place, I felt that the leader seemed to be facing a threat that was even more serious than the library.”

"Sigh, you mean—we might be facing an opponent of the boss's caliber next? That...that's probably not very likely."

Upon hearing Otis's doubts, Gregorian broke out in a cold sweat; however, Faust delivered the finishing blow:

“That’s true. Putting aside the monster that fought the officer, the place itself was beyond my comprehension—it seemed to be completely beyond the understanding of the city.”

…………

"Oh my, when did our Color Master start using new gadgets? But your outfit has become even stranger, with such outdated items."

With a clang, a long-haired woman in a gold-trimmed red dress and a matching cowboy hat clutched her bleeding left wrist, then pointed to the other person's L company armband and spoke:

“I don’t want to repeat myself—give Charon back now. You have no idea what you’re going to face next.”

As you listened to the other person's words, Virgil brushed the blood off his Heart of Despair, then looked at the other person's right eye, which was covered by long hair, and said:

"I advise you to be careful from now on. My current superior is very interested in relics in the city; if my colleague who wants to be the best employee sees your eyes, he'll probably try to get them out."

"Ha, how interesting—I didn't expect that you, Lady Color, would have such a deep sense of belonging to the company. But I won't give you back the little cake so easily. As for your threats, we are well prepared."

After the other party finished speaking, the surrounding support personnel arrived; Virgil looked at the other party and said:

"The person you're facing isn't me."

"What? No, no, what is that... "

Just as the other person was asking a question in confusion, an unpleasant voice suddenly came from behind:

"Damn it, it's those Five Fingers guys stirring up trouble again?"
