Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

"Requesting support! We are under attack by the infected!"

The Helmetless Alliance was thrown into disarray. The threat from the former Platinum Knight had just arrived, and they were immediately attacked by the Infected Knights. They were completely caught off guard. But before he could say anything, a crossbow arrow blew his earphones apart, even taking away half of his earlobe.

"Perfect shot—" Justina supported from a distance, and their full mobilization naturally forced many people to start thinking, is betrayal more important, or is it more important to let the infected and ordinary people go to the Champions Wall together to slap the faces of those capitalists.

"The direction... has changed..." Noah was followed from a distance in a wheelchair pushed by Kuro. Feeling the emotions surging into his body, he smiled.

"Now, they just have to cross the city, from one end of this main road to the other - it's a great expedition." Noah continued, "Margaret always finds a way. Unlike me who has to plan for half a day beforehand, she always finds a way."

"I can't... I have to go back up." Roy put down his hand that was pressing on his earphones and looked at the smiling man in front of him with a subtle smile. "Next time, next time I'll buy your health package. I'm really busy this time."

"No, you're not busy."

"I'm really busy. Next time, next time."

"I told you—I know a little bit about bone setting." Roland finally opened his eyes. Only then did Roy realize that there seemed to be a broken horn hidden under Roland's long hair.

And Roland…was clearly a Kuranta.

"You guy..."

"Have you heard of the legend of the unicorn?" Roland said with a smile. "Legend has it that a unicorn's horn can grow back after it's broken off—but I think it will take quite a while. So..."

"When a nation's will is broken, how long will it take to be reborn?" He did not draw his sword, but appeared in front of Roy and punched him in the face.

Roy only had time to lean back to avoid the punch, and at the same time, he felt the opponent's terrifying monstrous physical fitness - because he even made an explosion sound.

——Is this a unicorn?

-

"Can I get through?" What Monique faced might not be that exaggerated, but these Silver Spear Pegasus were like a wall, with no intention of giving way at all.

"You can try."

"……cut……"

-

Although the two Qingjins have lost contact, more and more people from the No-Horned Alliance are coming, and the Red Pine Knights are starting to feel like they can't hold on any longer.

Although Cintrea joined the battle, it was clear that this situation was beyond her ability to resolve alone. Kuro was already rubbing his hands in anticipation.

The infected knights didn't take action. Although they were already wavering, facing the Helmetless Alliance also required courage. At this moment, the Wildmane Knight, who had been charging, finally made a mistake, revealing a large flaw in her back. At this moment, someone blocked her from behind.

"Are you okay?" Maria held a sword and shield, helping the Wild Mane Knight block the opponent's shooting, and did not forget to ask about the other party's condition.

"Maria!" Sona, who was already very familiar with Maria, immediately recognized her. After all, she was also the shining Lin Guang—

"I'm here to help you." It's courage, this may be a dominant gene inherited by the Lin Guang family.

"Don't attack Maria!" Zofia, the old knight, the old craftsman, and old Martin all appeared in the team almost at the same time. These old guys have already given up. Today they are going to make Margaret and the others reach the championship wall. It's useless for Jesus to say anything!

"They're crazy!" McGee wanted to mobilize other teams himself. As the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce, he still had authority—including the right to mobilize the guards.

But at this moment, the one standing in front of him was Viviana.

Holding a candle in her hand, she stopped the hurried McGee and said, "Don't get in their way."

She was still as cool and elegant as ever, but she was serious. She was fully armed and even willing to make threats.

"Margaret is doing something great—and you shouldn't stop her."

-

But it was over, not only because people had begun to spontaneously protect the two champions, but also because the arrival of a team made everyone quiet down in an instant.

When these silver soldiers appeared in the team, the Wuzhou League understood that the Supervisory Council's attitude was very clear.

"—Margaret." The Silver Spear Pegasus leading the charge was, of course, Lime. He peered through his helmet at Margaret, who was supporting the Blood Knight. "You still have a chance. Return to the Crusade Knights, and join us."

"Soldiers are part of the nation," Margaret responded. "Soldiers fulfill their duty, not justice. I will not become a soldier."

"...Indeed, you have made your decision." Lime nodded. "Your sword is good. Don't let her down."

“…Yeah.” Rhyme turned around. “Everyone, listen up!”

"Yes!"

"Escort the Radiant Knight and the Blood Knight to the Champions Wall Exhibition Hall!"

When the Silver Spear Pegasus appeared, everything was over.

This is just one road, but it is extremely long, and Ms. Russell finally saw the girl who had arrived here first.

She was silent for a moment before she tentatively said, "Noah."

"Grandma Russell." Noah nodded and said gently, "They are coming."

"I know."

"They will get here, they will see the truth."

"You..." Russell hadn't heard the name "Grandma Russell" for a long time. She suddenly realized that Noah was here to say goodbye.

"You don't have to..."

"Grandma Russell... Casimir is my hometown," Noah said. "Margaret and I actually have one thing in common: we both like Casimir. Or rather, we like the Casimir in our own minds."

"Is Casimir... no longer your hometown?"

"...Well." Noah shook his head first, then nodded, "Not now, but maybe in the future."

"But if you do this, you may never be able to come back here in your life."

"Then... I won't be coming back," Noah replied. "If you're not welcome here, then I won't come back. I'll go out and travel, which is not bad. I heard it's good for my legs and feet."

"..." Russell was silent. Looking at the girl in front of him who he felt very guilty about, he suddenly understood why Roland came back at this juncture.

"I can't tell you...your parents' whereabouts." Russell closed her eyes. Even if she would be resented, she couldn't tell Noah. "You should live happily for the rest of your life and stop looking for them. That's the best thing."

"Grandma Russell, I know." Noah never resented Russell. At most, she was a little dissatisfied, but she understood Russell's difficulties.

Those in high positions must pay attention to these things... She must hide something.

"Grandma Russell, if you're not willing to help me announce it, I'll do it myself." Nuoya couldn't see Russell's expression, but she could sense it, so she said sympathetically, "But rather than expelling yourself, I'd rather you expel me."

"...The Chamber of Commerce will treat you like a pawn and throw all the dirty water on you."

"I do not care."

"The Knights' Association will also make you a disgrace to the Knights in order to save face."

"That's okay."

"The public won't know the truth because neither side will let any news that questions the result leak out. You will be hated by Casimir."

"As he wishes."

"Are you really worth this?"

“It’s worth it, always worth it.”

Noah turned his wheelchair and headed towards the gate in front of the Wall of Champions, at which point he could hear a noisy noise.

For Casimir, this may be the salute before awakening, but for Noah, it is the death knell before her execution.

To be honest, she was not as calm as she appeared. After so much spell manipulation and fanning the flames, she was indeed exhausted. The feeling of being washed away by a large amount of emotions was very strange, as if her consciousness was gradually drifting away and was about to be submerged, but she had to continue to manipulate these things while she could still maintain her sanity.

Tonight will be Casimir's new life—

And new life will inevitably involve bloodshed.

She didn't want Margaret to bleed, nor did she want the infected to bleed—

So the price...

Just let yourself bear it.

-

The team stopped in front of the Champion Wall exhibition hall. The Brilliant Knight and the Blood Knight, who had walked this route, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like everything had come to the best possible ending. The Chamber of Commerce would definitely retaliate, but not tonight.

Tonight is their victory.

Surrounded by the crowd, they came here, to the holy land of knights.

At this moment, a person appeared in front of them—a very quiet man in a wheelchair, wearing the uniform of a spokesperson for the Chamber of Commerce, standing quietly in front of the two of them.

"Noah..." Margaret's eyes lit up, but soon she saw the music box in Noah's hand. Noah had told her that it was a dangerous item left by the remnants of the Witch King.

"Noah...you."

"Come in first, we'll talk later." Noah stepped aside, indicating that the two should accept the canonization first. "Everything is arranged. Trust me, Margaret."

Out of trust in Noah, Margaret helped the Blood Knight into the Champion Exhibition Hall, while Noah just listened quietly to the footsteps of the two entering the hall before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"ended."

"Yes, it's all over."

-

"Welcome, Dikaiopolis, Margaret." Ms. Russell greeted the two champions. Seeing that there was no Noah behind them, her eyes dimmed for a moment.

She knew that Noah would leave Casimir tonight, and she...

"Margaret, I will complete the canonization ceremony as soon as possible - you have things to do tonight."

Then, Ms. Russell said, "Tonight is your victory, but someone will have to pay the price."

But, only tonight.

"Tonight's Wall of Champions belongs to the Cavaliers."

And - the long night finally arrived.

light.

Long night, coming to light.

Chapter 207: Leaving (4k)

Why didn't Noah follow in?

Noah herself wasn't entirely sure. Perhaps she felt this was a holy place for knights, and since she wasn't a knight anymore, she wasn't qualified to enter. Or perhaps her disappointment with the knight class had already deeply diminished her sense of identity, so she didn't want to get involved.

Regardless of the reason, she didn't want to disturb the two people's awarding ceremony.

Lime stood to one side, occasionally observing Noah's expression out of the corner of his eye. He knew that Noah might not want him to talk to him. Although his behavior today probably didn't make Noah feel disgusted, he also understood that he and Noah were no longer on the same page.

After being taught a lesson by Maenna, he finally tried to break through his limitations and think from Noya's perspective. In other words, some things that seemed insignificant to him would look different from Noya's perspective.

A person's upbringing, family, and experiences shape their approach to life, and Lime is a prime example. His family is a traditional knight family that values ​​honor over personal feelings. Therefore, he naturally assumes that Noa will find happiness if she marries a young and talented man. He seems to naturally disregard Noa's feelings, like a staid elder who keeps saying he's doing this for your own good—but in reality, he's pushing you forward.

It was precisely because of this that he restrained his urge to talk to Noah.

Being silent now is good for Noah and for myself.

Moreover, when Lime saw the sword at Margaret's waist, he had already figured out some things.

But just when everyone seemed to be relieved, the sounds of receiving new messages suddenly began to be heard from the crowd. The sounds became continuous, causing those who had been planning to wait for Margaret and others to come out of the exhibition hall to take out their mobile phones or terminals. The information on the screens of the mobile phones and terminals was different, but basically they all asked them to pay attention to the latest news on the homepage of the Knights Athletic Championship.

So, they clicked on the content of the message one by one -

silence--

In an instant, silence enveloped the small entrance. As more and more people began to whisper to each other, Noah also felt that the flow of emotions she was controlling had changed slightly.

It was hostility, familiar hostility. It was surrounding it—

Noya took a deep breath. It looked like the Chamber of Commerce had finally seen its position clearly and decided to abandon her as a pawn early. Noya had anticipated this, and it didn't surprise her.

She didn't look back, but Kuro, who had already sensed the hostility, turned around and warned the angry crowd with a dangerous look.

"...Noa Kyrielight, did you frame the Radiant Knight?"

As expected, anger broke through the shackles of fear. After the first person who began to blame opened his mouth, it was like a crack in a dam, and the dam formed by fear and speculation collapsed in an instant.

"You used your medical report... to replace the Radiant Knight's medical report. Aren't you a close friend of the Radiant Knight? Why did you do this?"

"No! She's from the Commerce Federation! It must be the Commerce Federation that had her lurking around Knight Yao! This guy! He's been plotting against Knight Yao from the beginning! He even revealed the truth at that time. Do you really think you can cover up your sins?"

"This is outrageous! The Knights Association has also announced the results of their investigation. It's this person! She replaced the Radiant Knight's medical report!"
