Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

"You! Why would I want to poison the Great Elder?"

"..." Latatos fell silent. At this moment, his recklessness had harmed him. Reason? Wasn't the reason already before his eyes?

【Transfer of power】

Chapter 27: Famous Scene

"Hmph... It's true that your Perlochi family has always been on good terms with the Manju Court, but you've also leveraged your connections with the Manju Court to gain numerous privileges in Kjerag! The people present here are witnesses!" Enthiodis's strategy of hitting the downed man was truly masterful. Under the leadership of a master of rhythm, he had practically driven Actoros into the abyss. "For the past few years, you've exploited your privilege to constantly suppress me. I've endured it until now, and you've all witnessed it firsthand. I originally thought you were simply worried that Shivaash would become too powerful and impact your own position—but I didn't expect you to have such nefarious intentions!"

As a perfect victim, Enchiodis's words were almost convincing, while Perlochi had almost lost all his say after the Great Elder was poisoned.

"..." Latatos gritted her teeth. She was indeed an ally of Perlochi, but if she spoke now, it would mean becoming Enthiotis' enemy, and by extension, Shelag's enemy. Even though she knew that Actos would never do that, she couldn't even say a word of support.

"Assassinate the Great Elder, assassinate me, and your two families will just divide Kjerag equally—what a brilliant plan!"

"Enthiotis! You are slandering me!" Actos's anger could no longer be suppressed. The hell was that he even thought that Enthiotis had come to his senses and turned back. He was too naive.

"Slander? It's true that you, Axtus, are on good terms with the Manzhu Court. It's true that the Brontao family now sides with your Axtus family. It's true that the Great Elder agreed to return power." Ensiodis pointed at the Great Elder, who was being urgently rescued. "And now, it's also true that you poisoned the Great Elder!"

He turned and looked at the crowd, "I would like to ask everyone present, is it me who is slandering others, or is it Actor who is quibbling?"

——What a great show.

Roland, who was hiding among the people, sighed. He hadn't expected that Enthiodis would be so ruthless as to force two families into a desperate situation and make himself a victim.

The people at this moment had to believe it even if they didn't want to. After all, seeing is believing, the Great Elder was poisoned in full view of the public.

The crowd was in high spirits, and the atmosphere was as if they were going to behead the two family heads on the spot as sacrifices to Yelagund.

This scene...seems like I just saw it not long ago.

It's just that the person who caused that situation at that time wanted to concentrate all the hatred on himself, and now, Enthyodis is venting all his anger on the two family heads.

-

"...Enthyotis, is it really necessary to be so ruthless?" Noah heard everything about the ceremony through Roland's communication. Although it is true that the whole thing was essentially planned by Nothis, Enthyotis, you are too cooperative, aren't you?

Do you really intend to rule Kjerag in a dictatorial manner?

At this moment, a chaotic sound came from the headset. Roland turned around and saw a man walking towards the platform. Behind him was a whole team of warriors from the Brown Tao family.

"Warriors—it's time to rescue your master."

The person leading the team was Nosis. He had no expression on his face at this moment, he was just leading the team. His appearance naturally made more people start to imagine.

Nothis was expelled by Enthiotis, but then appeared here, and behind him were the troops of the Bruntao family - the meaning was obvious, Nothis betrayed Enthiotis and defected to the Bruntao family.

His appearance finally made Latatos on the stage unable to remain silent any longer. She stared at Nosis who suddenly appeared, and she hated him so much that she almost bit her teeth.

"Enthiotis, you have gone to great lengths to package yourself as a perfect victim and speak high-sounding words on the stage. Aren't you ashamed?" Nosis's voice came, mocking Enthiotis who seemed to have declared victory.

Enchiodis didn't give up the show either, and said, "Traitor, what brings you here?"

"My stance? My stance is, of course, revenge on you." Nothis chuckled. "Latatos, what are you still hesitating about? Are you really planning to surrender?"

If Latatos had some leeway and could have surrendered to Enthiotis in exchange for a chance to survive, now... she has no way out.

"You...are really awesome."

"Don't look at me, look at these people—they won't let you go, or your Bronto family go. I'm thinking about you."

The current Enthyodis is truly perfect.

Seeing the people from the Shivaash family rushing forward and planning to capture everyone, Latatos was finally faced with a choice.

No, she never had a choice.

She opened her mouth… but before she could utter the words of surrender.

call out!

It was a spell, a frost spell transformed into a sharp sword, piercing Enthiodis's direction. The one who cast the spell was Nothis, and he chuckled softly—rejecting Latatos's surrender.

"Nosis, you really disappoint me."

"What a coincidence, Enthyodice, I thought so too."

The ice sword was shattered, and the person who appeared here at this time was beyond everyone's expectations. It was a tall woman, and her appearance here was naturally to accept the orders of her master.

"Noah said that everyone here needs to calm down." Kuro stared at Nosis in front of him, "Especially you."

"Heh... Enthyodis, I'm meeting your new bodyguard for the first time." Nothis stared at Kuro in front of him and subconsciously took a step back. "How do you plan to stop me?"

"Let me correct you, Nothis," Enthiotis sighed. "She does not belong to me. Besides, you may suffer a lot."

In just a moment, before Nosis could even make any move, Kuro knocked him down and pressed his head to the snow.

Noah's order was to calm Nosis's head.

So how do you stay calm?

There's snow everywhere, and it should be helpful in relieving the overheated brain.

Kuro smiled, she liked this order very much.

It was very consistent with her temperament, and...she really hated the look of someone like Nothis who seemed to have everything under control.

If anyone except Noah showed this expression, she would want to rub their face on the ground.

Including Enthyodis.

It was a quick and decisive capture, but Nothis had already achieved his goal. Kuro glanced at Enthyodis and said, "Noya said not to overdo it. You should understand what I mean."

"Of course." Enthyodis looked at Nothis who was pinned to the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I know the limits."

Chapter 28: It's Just Work

Seeing Kuro suddenly appear on Enthiotis' side, Actor finally realized that this was no longer their battlefield. So, at Latatos's request, he had no choice but to resist. Otherwise, if he was captured by Enthiotis... there would be no way to wash away the shame.

"CNM's Enchiodis! Perlochi warriors! Form a line! Capture the traitor Enchiodis!"

"I told you to run with me! Now you still want to fight me in this situation?!" Latatos was speechless. "Can your brain grow anything other than brawn?!"

"...How could I possibly flee before Enthyodis!" Actoros raised his weapon in anger, intending to lead his troops forward to attack the Shivaash forces. Kuro, who was holding down Nothis, sighed silently, "I won't help—"

"I don't need your help, Horned Peak."

"Here." Holding a scimitar and a large shield, Jiaofeng immediately stepped out of the crowd and accepted Enxiodis's orders. "Look after the Great Elder and the Saintess."

"Yes."

"Weiss."

"Here." Weiss, like Jiaofeng, was a talent trained by Enchiodis. Although he promised Noya not to do anything extreme, she didn't say that he couldn't protect himself, right?

"Capture Akhtos and Latatos," Enthiotis added, "and don't kill anyone, or we'll have another enemy."

"Yes." Weiss nodded, and the Mountain Snow Demon Army suddenly appeared behind her. Even the Perlochi warriors would have difficulty breaking through this well-equipped force. Witnessing everything, Ya'er revealed a helpless expression. Beside her, the doctor spoke. "Just as I expected."

"……Um?"

"Everything was planned by Enthiotis, including the appearance of Nothis. The two of them are so in sync that they don't even need to communicate much—" the doctor explained. "The trouble Nothis caused Enthiotis was all a signal, a signal that only they understood. To prevent any problems, they even gave up communication. The indirect communication through actions alone successfully completed this operation."

"...I see." Ya'er finally understood. "You smart people are such a nuisance..."

"Sharp, go down and rescue them." The doctor said, "Like them, Noah and I should have the same idea. Now it's our turn to respond to Noah's actions."

Enthiotis had already won. Even if Actos and Latatos had not been captured, Kjerag would have seen a huge change.

"I don't understand, Doctor. My job is to protect you and Rhodes Island's position. But if we intervene at this time, Rhodes Island's position will be no longer guaranteed. Besides, even if Enthiotis is in power, you will be his guest of honor, and you can even get more benefits. For Rhodes Island, Enthiotis in power is beneficial and has no disadvantages." Sharp didn't like to doubt the commander's orders, but this time he was interfering in other people's domestic politics after all... Rhodes Island was indeed not in the right.

"What I want to do is to stop the war and save lives."

"...Doctor, I still have to ask you again, is it worth it?"

“It’s worth it, always worth it.”

Although this decision will definitely be criticized by Kal'tsit, the doctor never regrets his decision. After all, since he is in this position, he must try his best to save more people.

"I understand. Execute immediately." Since Sharp had agreed, he naturally found a way to do it. The doctor had great trust in this quiet but always reliable elite operator.

Kuro did not participate in this battle. Her appearance here was to express Noah's attitude. If Enthiotis intended to go all the way, Kuro's fist would fall on his head, and then there would be one more person who could keep calm in the snow.

But Noah also said that someone would help the heads of the other two families, so there was no need for Kuro to get involved.

The position they want to express now is that they are on Enthyotis' side.

As expected, the appearance of Sharp soon changed the situation of the battle. The previous situation was basically one-sided towards the Mountain Snow Ghost Army, but after Sharp rushed into the crowd like cutting melons and vegetables, he forcibly created a path for them.

Latatos immediately seized the opportunity, pulling Actor next to her and yelling, "Stop fighting! We need to retreat!"

"Let go! I want Enthyotis's..."

"What about your subordinates!? Are you going to watch them get killed?! Stupid bear?!"

Latatos's roar finally awakened Actor's sanity. He gritted his teeth and gave what might be the most extreme order in his life.

"Everyone retreat, fight your way out with the Brontao family!"

Although they didn't know why the doctor from Rhodes Island would help them, there was no time to think about it now. They just had to run.

After Sharp left the field, Enchiodis looked at Kuro. "I'll deliberately leave a gap for them to escape."

"Hmph, that's really an understatement. Are you that confident?" Kuro said with a twitch of his lips. "Or do you know that if they can't leave, I'll become your enemy?"

"Both, but I don't want to lose Miss Noya's trust. Even after I take power, I will definitely maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Miss Noya." Ensiodis said, "If Miss Noya can join Kalan Trade, with only two family heads, what's wrong with me letting her go?"

Looking at the two family heads fleeing, Enchiodis was indeed confident enough to speak.

"Now, I'm a general. I'm really looking forward to what surprises the doctor will give me."

"...To be honest, if Noah hadn't stopped me from doing anything to you, I would have wanted to pin you down in the snow to calm you down." Kuro's words basically didn't give Enthyodis any face, and Nothis, who was pinned down in the snow - well, he had no objection.

Even if there was, his mouth full of snow wouldn't allow him to say a word.

This farce should have ended by now.

Sharp, an elite operator of Rhodes Island.

Although Rhodes Island is a medical company, its elite operators are known to be... excessively powerful.

Among them, there are two representatives of the guards. One is Huang, who is in charge of the offensive, and the other is the man in front of him, holding a sharp blade.

Facing him, Weiss directly ordered the Mountain Snow Ghost troops to line up to meet him.

There was no way around it, Sharp's strength had long been engraved in their minds.

"I'm sorry...Captain Sharp."

"Everyone serves his master, and it's all work."

——After all, this is just a job.

Chapter 29: Earth Turns Upside Down

If we were to say who is the most powerless person in this farce, it would probably be Enya.

She is a saint, the one who should lead the people of Snowland onwards in place of Yelagund, but now she has realized that all that happened before was just a farce that had been planned long ago.

The instigator of this farce was his own brother.

He ruthlessly shattered all her mental preparations for this moment, as well as her vision of the outside world. Without even asking her a single question—

Even if she could knock down everyone in front of her now, the people would still ask her to accept the result that Enthyodis had prepared for her in Manzhu Courtyard.

She looked around.

She saw how Jiaofeng deliberately avoided her gaze when he noticed her.

She saw warriors in modern clothing tearing through the ranks of Shivaash warriors and taking Actor and Latatos away.

She saw that everyone's attention was focused on Enthiodis, as if he was the protagonist of this prince's revenge story.

She saw the hope and enthusiasm in the eyes of the people.

And what's in her eyes?

There is sadness, resentment—and anger.

But all this was gone in a flash, and the light in her eyes disappeared again.

Although rescuing Akhtos and Latatos will not affect the overall situation, the people's hearts now belong to Shivaash. Even if these two people unite their own troops, Enthiotis has his own way to deal with it.
