Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

Roy broke out in a cold sweat. The Medical Knights did not kill any people in the Uka War because they were not a knight order that existed for fighting.

They indiscriminately save all living beings on the battlefield and put life first. This is a knight order that only knows how to save people.

Chapter 205: The Victor's Parade (4k long chapter)

When everyone was cheering for the victory of the Glory Knight, especially when the infected were moved by the battle and willpower between the Glory Knight and the Blood Knight, Big Mouth Mob coughed lightly twice and spoke at an inopportune time.

"A few months ago, which media outlet could have predicted that the champion would be the Brilliant Knight Margaret Linguang, who made a stunning comeback after a surprising performance? Now, the audience's roar has drowned out the entire arena, and today's prize pool has reached an incredible level! It's no exaggeration to say that Brilliant Knight's legendary experience has earned her a fortune that rivals that of a corporation! But of course, we won't just give Brilliant Knight this wealth—more importantly, we will give her justice."

"...Fairness?" The audience was suddenly confused by this. What kind of fairness? Had the Brilliant Knight been ambushed? Or was there some other shady plot going on?

"For this news, please ask the spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Noa Kirilet, who is also Margaret Linguang's close friend, a true businesswoman, and our trusted leader of the Special Championship, to personally announce it. She will also be in charge of presenting the awards."

As the camera turned towards Noah, everyone's eyes were fixed on the face in the camera which could only be described as stunning. Many people then realized that Noah Kyrielight actually had a perfect face, which made people feel a little favorable towards her.

"Good evening, everyone. My name is Noah Kirielight, head of the Kirielight family and spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce. I'm honored to be here to read the Chamber of Commerce's investigation report to my dear friend, Margaret Linguang."

——This is definitely bombshell news, but since it was announced by Noah Kyrielight——then it is probably information that is beneficial to Margaret Linguang, right?

After all, their relationship has been reported everywhere in various tabloids. Even people who don't believe in gossip tabloids can probably tell that the two of them are very close.

"To everyone in the audience, everyone watching on TV, including those who have been watching the live broadcast and following the Glory Knights and the Knights Athletic Championship, the Knights Association officially confirmed the situation yesterday and will hold a press conference tomorrow. But now, we must tell the audience the truth."

Noah looked calm, but his hands were clenched tightly.

In the audience, Maria suddenly felt uneasy for no reason, but her trust in Noah prevented her from saying anything. She just unconsciously held Zofia's hand.

That's right, Noah would never do anything to hurt Margaret. This was their consensus.

So, even though they noticed something was wrong, they still chose to believe Noah.

"Six years ago, the Knights of Glory were convicted of 'concealing their infected identity' and exiled by the Knights' Association! The reason was that they presented a medical report clearly confirming that Knight Lin Guang was an infected person, which was unfair. Therefore, Knight Lin Guang was exiled and stripped of his Casimir citizenship. But today, Knight Glory has finally been vindicated."

Noah's words were calm, but this preface had already caused some people to whisper. What did this mean... could it be?

The doctor sitting in the audience curled his lips. He already knew what Noah was going to do. But if she did that... did she really intend to... die completely in Casimir?

"This is all a conspiracy by criminals. They bribed the Knights' Association to perjure themselves and forcibly expel Knight Yao from the country. As a close friend and childhood friend of Knight Yao, I express my deep indignation and am happy for Margaret." Noah's words were calm, almost frighteningly so. "Yes, here, on behalf of the Knights' Association, the National Council, and the Chamber of Commerce, I solemnly announce to this audience—all charges against Knight Yao are dropped. Knight Yao, our champion, is not an infected person."

There was no excitement, no emotional ups and downs, but Noah knew that these were enough - she was just here to read out the contents of the speech, she didn't even memorize it and needed voice prompts to write the inscription.

——She came to announce the truth, and the absolute truth.

Margaret was not infected to begin with. When she was thirteen... I tried so hard to prevent Margaret from getting hurt. How could I possibly let her get infected?

But the effect of this sentence has begun to ferment. The Commercial Federation made itself announce this matter at this juncture, just for the purpose of making the Knight of Glory no longer a hero to the infected.

The current situation is that the Radiant Knight, as the representative of the [normal people], defeated the Blood Knight, who is the hero of the infected.

Compared to two infected people competing for the championship... this is completely different.

"If you go against your conscience and hide the truth from the world, there is no honor."

Noah had mentioned this to Margaret, and she agreed with him. She didn't want to keep hiding the fact that she wasn't infected. Although it was a bad time to tell it, the truth was the truth, and it should be told at any time.

Margaret stared at Noah on the screen and nodded.

Even if the Chamber of Commerce did not announce this, Margaret would sooner or later make Rhodes Island clarify its true situation.

Margaret also had her own selfish motives. When she was sentenced, she could have applied for another medical examination, but she didn't, because what she saw was that the data and codes on the medical examination report were very familiar.

That's not my medical report...it's Noah's.

Although Noah was not in Casimir at the time, if she returned as an infected person, she might encounter more trouble. After weighing the pros and cons... Margaret finally chose to admit it and left Casimir.

Noah's actions were in line with her, and she was also prepared to face the wrath of the infected -

The news quickly spread among the crowd, and the emotions that Noah perceived began to become distinct. There were audiences who were simply happy for Margaret. They didn't care about the infected person, they just thought it was a good thing that Margaret was not infected. They also withdrew the previous accusations, which showed that Margaret now had the confidence to call herself a double champion. Although it couldn't be compared with the gold content of the Black Knight's three consecutive championships, at least this was her second championship.

"Originally, it was Master Linguang who made the decision... To protect the young and energetic Margaret, he deliberately allowed Margaret to travel. At the time, Master Linguang also said... In the past, Kuranta had to embark on his own journey to heaven, and Margaret is now on her own journey to heaven."

Old Martin explained, "Don't worry, Margaret will take good care of herself."

"No! Who is the accuser? Who framed Margaret? Who was it--" At this time, the audience also began to raise questions.

However, compared to this problem, more people who are infected are becoming angry after being confused.

"Isn't the Brilliant Knight an Infected? Did she... lie to us? To gain our support?!" The Infected were suddenly awakened from their dreams. They had imagined the finals would be a showdown between two Infected, the perfect way to prove that Infected could also stand at the pinnacle of knighthood. They were filled with hope, believing it would be an exciting duel, but they discovered that the person they were rooting for wasn't actually on their side.

Betrayal? Deception? Could this be a plot set up by the Chamber of Commerce?

Deliberately concealing the true situation of the Knight of Glory, wanting to insult the infected in this way at this time?

Noah could fully sense this thought, and this time - she did not choose to absorb these malicious speculations, which she could not absorb enough.

Once doubt arises, it is much more difficult to rebuild trust.

"...Margaret...you..." The Blood Knight wanted to say something, especially to tell Noah's plan, but he suddenly closed his mouth. For some reason, he felt that he couldn't say it.

It was obvious that if Margaret had just said it, she would have been able to prevent this tragedy...but she couldn't say it.

It was as if someone was controlling his mouth, and when he raised his head and met Noah's eyes, he knew.

"Here, I'll lend you my shoulder. If you really can't help it, don't say anything." Margaret, still assuming the Blood Knight was just badly injured, carried him up. "Actually, if your condition hadn't worsened... I might have been the one who lost."

"...This is meaningless," the Blood Knight sighed. Soon, he found he could speak again. It seemed Noya simply didn't want to tell the truth—or rather, couldn't say it in front of Margaret. "Do you think I've fought all this way to this point just to use my oripathy as an excuse?"

"No." Margaret shook her head. "Because I also know a very strong patient. Although she is sick, she is much stronger than most people."

"...I know." The Blood Knight nodded. "However, the infected won't trust you. Once trust is broken, it will be very difficult to rebuild it."

"...I know, but this is necessary." Margaret nodded. "This is their plan."

"They have halved the prestige you built up among the masses. Perhaps those normal people will like you more, but those infected... they will definitely be wrapped in anger. You can't blame them for being sensitive. They may have been deceived countless times." The Blood Knight responded.

"Do you think so too?" Knight Yao asked with a smile.

"Me? Ha..." The Blood Knight laughed bitterly. "An infected person fights for the infected, while an ordinary person fights for the infected. Who is more noble?"

There will always be people who understand this truth, but public opinion will ignite their extremism, and the next Knight of Glory will have to face it alone.

"...Speaking of which, why hasn't Noah left yet? She should have finished her speech by now." At this moment, McGee, who was sitting in the stands, suddenly frowned. "What on earth is going on?"

"Tonight will be Casimir's night of championships! In two hours, the Brilliant Knight, Margaret Linguang, will receive her medal at the Wall of Champions—" At this point, Big Mouth Mob forcibly took over the broadcast, "And tomorrow, the official closing ceremony will be held! Please don't miss it!"

"...Dikaiopolis."

"Ok?"

"The place of conferment of honors is where the knights belong."

"If you want to teach them a lesson, you can choose to be absent—to show your attitude."

"I won't, because I've run away before, and I know running away doesn't solve any problems."

"then you……"

"Can you hold on? We need to walk a little distance. Let's go together."

"..."

The Blood Knight remained silent, but he understood that this was a true mockery, a mockery of the Chamber of Commerce for not understanding what a knight was.

At least he was laughing.

"Interesting—I'll be happy to accompany you."

"Next... please... eh?"

Noah also laughed. She guessed correctly. Margaret was indeed... more stubborn than she had imagined. She actually wanted to carry the Blood Knight along to the awarding ceremony. Of course, the official would not recognize such a farce of sharing the championship.

But...it's an attitude.

The infected and ordinary people walk side by side, sharing the glory... attitude.

"……put on a show?"

"Isn't this just a script? It's too fake."

"Now he's just redeeming himself. Knight Yao is still a liar."

Indeed, Noah understood this kind of psychological activity, this kind of questioning. She had listened to so many people's inner voices, and she was deeply aware of the suspicion and ugliness in people's hearts. Those words and actions that would normally be corrected by themselves were, in front of Noah, like stripping off clothes, naked.

Traitor - Traitor - Radiant Knight is a traitor among the infected.

——Shining Knight, it’s great that our champion is not an infected!

Completely different psychological activities appeared in Noah's heart almost at the same time.

But she also heard a few suspicions...so rare that they could almost be ignored.

If the Radiant Knight is not an infected person - why has she been fighting for the infected people until now?

Is it because of these… clear-headed people that Margaret acted this way? No… it is precisely because of these clear-headed people that Noah… did not completely despair of this world.

Noah did not despair about Casimir.

But now, she wanted to watch Margaret's slap in the face of the Chamber of Commerce - it would be a very loud slap.

The Brilliant Knight supported the Blood Knight as they came to the street. Some curious people followed behind them. Tourists who recognized the two on the street also started taking pictures of them. But the strange thing was that no one stopped them. As if they were directed by something, the crowd dispersed in front of the two of them, as if lining up to welcome them - like triumphant knights.

"Have you ever thought about the significance of doing this, Brilliant Knight?"

"I just want to take the title of knight back from them."

"Ha...So what do you think a knight is?"

"A knight is a noble being who illuminates the entire earth. In other words, a knight isn't something that can be canonized by some association—"

Margaret smiled and said, "I don't think I'm the best knight either - in fact, there are many who are much better than me."

"Maybe that's the case, but you are indeed the most dazzling one."

"Are you laughing at me?"

"No, I admire you."

The slap was so loud that it made those self-satisfied bigwigs furious.

Therefore, their road will not be smooth.

Sure enough, people had already started gathering in front.

Chapter 206: The Long Night

"Let the Wuzhou Alliance stop them - otherwise if this continues..." McGee immediately began to use the power at his hands to let the Wuzhou Alliance prepare to intercept.

Although this was somewhat outrageous, the higher-ups probably wouldn't understand. After all, to them, the title of knight and the championship were essentially just decorations, gifts bestowed upon the knights.

As a result, someone actually slapped them in the face in such a place, which was already very infuriating. Anyway, the current requirement is - at any cost.

Stop that person for me!

But... neither of the two Qingjins can be contacted.

What would happen if this continued? McGee didn't want to see this happen. He wasn't a bad guy, and he didn't want to see the Business Federation attack the Blood Knight or the Radiant Knight. After all, she had heard the question and answer between the Blood Knight and the Radiant Knight during the previous match.

He was somewhat touched, but Knight Yao was too radical - her current behavior was to throw the Chamber of Commerce's reputation on the ground.

"...Is this road really so long?" The Blood Knight could hardly recall the scene of walking this road a few years ago. He just remembered that there were reporters and flash lights everywhere, and he walked to the destination in a daze and received the medal. It even made him feel like a sacrifice.

"You are injured, so we can't move fast." Knight Yao replied.

"...That's true." The Blood Knight sighed, "Besides, there's no guarantee we'll even reach our destination... Neither you nor I have the strength to continue fighting."

They were certainly not joking casually, because in front of them, the team of the No-Horned Alliance had begun to assemble, and their purpose was obvious - to stop the two people and prevent them from going to the Wall of Champions.

"Block this street—Brilliant Knight, Blood Knight, countless crossbows are pointed at you now. Could you please... just turn back?"

The leader of the No-Horn Alliance spoke up and promised, "As long as we follow the Federation's instructions, we don't want to take action against the two champions."

"...It seems your actions have indeed angered some people," the Blood Knight said jokingly. "Go ahead, I'll stop them."

collapse--

At this moment, an arrow landed between the Helmetless Alliance and the two champions, and this arrow—

"I never thought I'd have to clear the way for the knights one day..." Cintrea complained, then said into the microphone, "Get down here—you guys combined wouldn't be enough for me to shoot at. Choose for yourself, do you want me to shoot your heads off one by one, or get out of the way?"

Although she is no longer a Platinum Lord, she is very familiar with the actions of the Heroesless Alliance - so her threats are very effective.

"Where are you looking? Scum of the No-Horn Alliance!" Several knights dressed in competitive knight uniforms immediately appeared in the crowd and launched an attack on the No-Horn Alliance team.

"The arrows can't touch our champion." The arrivals were none other than the Red Pine Knights. As infected, they had already gained legal status, but at this point, they could no longer remain silent. "Take a shot."
