Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

The Mountain Snow Ghosts' equipment is the best, and it is the excellent equipment provided by Victoria. Although they still lack high-quality training, Enchiodis knows that he will not lack these soon.

The Grand Duke's promise meant that as long as he became the actual controller of the Snow Region, he could obtain resources from the Grand Duke continuously.

Of course, he wouldn't betray Kjerag, but now he needed the Grand Duke's support to accelerate the rebuilding of Kjerag's industrial base. Kjerag had to open the gates, step out of the mountains, and embrace the dawn of civilization.

As for...faith?

Enthiotis glanced at Enya from a distance, who had her back to him, and slowly closed his eyes.

Faith lives in every Kjerag's heart, but it only needs to exist.

A better Kjerag is the most important thing.

But these are all later stories. Now he is a winner, and a winner needs to declare his victory.

"People of Kjerag, I'm deeply sorry." Enthiotis stepped onto the platform and surveyed the crowd. Previously, there were two other family heads on equal footing, but now, he was the only one. "On this sacred day, such a heartbreaking event has occurred. But—through this opportunity, we have discovered who the true traitor to Kjerag is."

Enchiodis learned public speaking when he was studying abroad in Victoria. He also went to listen to some famous speeches. He knew how to mobilize the atmosphere and how to persuade others.

"Those are Latatos and Akhtos!" His voice was filled with anger, which aroused the anger of the people. He didn't know how Noah had done it and made himself everyone's enemy. In fact, this kind of thing... was much more difficult for himself.

"They are dissatisfied with the changes brought about by the return of power and even attempted to assassinate me and poison the Great Elder in order to seize all of Kjerag. This... is undoubtedly the greatest blasphemy against Yelagund! Although they were not executed on the spot just now, this matter will not end here."

"Aktos and Latatos will receive a fair trial!"

—Judgment! Judgment! Judgment!

The crowd was excited, and the people, whose emotions were easily aroused, shouted their own words. Those who were placed in the crowd could make the whole crowd boil with just a wave of their arms.

"But, while I deeply desire to apprehend these two traitors, I have no intention of provoking a quarrel." He spoke again, and when he did, he drowned out the crowd's cries. "Kjerag is Kjerag of Yelagund, Kjerag of all the people of the Snow Mountains, not my Kjerag."

"Therefore, the subjects of the Perlochi and Brunto families, please rest assured. The civil war you all fear will not happen." Ensiodis even graciously lowered the banner of war. "From now on, my Shivaash family will only send troops to [protect] Manzhuyuan, awaiting the Great Elder's awakening. We will then discuss Kjerag's future with him and the Saint. But I at least hope that the subjects of the Perlochi and Brunto families can recognize who Kjerag's true enemy is."

“I believe that when we are united in purpose, we can find a better path.”

By then - we will definitely be able to welcome a better Kjerag!

Enthiodis, at this moment, truly became their leader. It was as if, at this moment, there was no Perlochi or Brontao anymore—only Shivaash.

People shouted his name, forgetting that this was originally a celebration to return power to the saint.

Yaer, who witnessed everything, sighed leisurely.

For a moment, she was angry, but she soon knew what Enthyodis was really thinking.

Enthyodis... He told many lies, but only in the last two sentences did he mean them sincerely.

The people supported him not because of his lies, but because they were impressed by the convenience he brought to Kjerag.

Rather than a coup, it is more like a people's choice that has been accumulated over time.

Change... is really coming.

She also needs to return to Enya in time, because Enya needs her company now.

In most cases, Noya's guesses were correct. She even guessed that Enthiotis was indeed trying to change Kjerag's current situation, including Nothis's actions, but she couldn't stop them. In fact, even if these were uncovered, they were purely open conspiracies.

Since Actos and Latatos would never trust her easily, it would be useless even if she guessed the whole picture earlier. It would be more accurate to say that Actos and Latatos had already lost completely since Enthiotis turned the tables and proposed to return power at the Council of Three Clans.

This is an open conspiracy that looks like a conspiracy, and if Shivaash didn't have such widespread public support, it wouldn't be possible...

Noah was somewhat impressed by Enthiotis's ability to seize opportunities. Judging from the current situation... the main reason why he invited the Doctor and himself was because he didn't think the Doctor and himself could do anything.

Indeed... Normally, this has no solution.

Noah sighed. She had originally been thinking about taking a vacation... but in this situation, there was no point in taking a vacation.

"...Hmm..." At this moment, Mo Xi, who was lying on the bed, finally moved. "...Where is this..."

"This is Kjerag, a place that has been turned upside down."

Chapter 30: Noah's Explanation

"What the hell just happened?!" Moshi stood up in panic. She had actually prepared to kill Enthiotis to avenge Nosis, even at the cost of her own life. To prevent Lady Hulus from being implicated, she even considered jumping off a cliff to commit suicide. But instead, she was brought here, and the person before her... seemed to be Enthiotis's guest. In other words, she had fallen into Enthiotis's hands after all!?

She even considered biting her tongue to commit suicide... But Noah seemed to have guessed her reaction and said, "Actually, biting your tongue to commit suicide won't kill you. You'll just die from breathing difficulties caused by bleeding blocking your trachea. I can easily fix that situation. Secondly, there's a possibility that you'll go into shock from the pain, which I can also fix." Noah explained, "So, biting your tongue to commit suicide will do nothing but cause you pain. Give up."

"...This..." Mo Xi was suddenly confused, "...This is how it's played in the movie."

"So that's a movie." Noah smiled. "Well, since you've given up on committing suicide, let's talk. Don't worry, I'm not on Enthyotis' side."

"...Stop lying! Aren't you Enchiotis's VIP? And you're working for Enchiotis!" Moshi said angrily, "I don't believe a single punctuation mark in what you say."

"I am indeed a guest of Enchiotis, but as for working for Enchiotis...wasn't it the Perlochi family who forcibly abducted me? I just cooperated." Noah spread his hands. "So, they can classify me as Enchiotis's employee. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

"..." Mo Xi was actually convinced instantly. It wasn't that she was soft-hearted, but Noah had a certain persuasiveness when she spoke. She was very sincere, as if speaking from the heart. It was hard not to believe her words.

"Alright, alright, enough small talk. I've already figured it out—you, are you from Nothis?" Noa asked. "Even if you try to argue, it's useless. After all, it won't help. Enthiotis has completely taken control of the situation in Kjerag thanks to the assassination you orchestrated."

"...How could that be? Lord Nosis?"

"He was caught. My friend took a picture - do you want to see it?" Noah pulled out a photo. "It's pretty horrible - and Kuro took the picture himself."

"...Why is this happening?" Moshi lowered his head. "I just want to help Lord Nosis get revenge..."

"Actually, I just think you've been deceived by Nothis." Noah sighed. "He was originally a partner of Enthiotis. It's completely different from what you think. He was just using this roundabout way to cooperate with Enthiotis. Your sacrifice... to be honest, is meaningless."

Noah, who put himself in Nothis's perspective, completely understood Nothis's layout and reasons. Like Enthiotis, Nothis had gone abroad and seen the outside world. They were childhood friends and playmates. They were simply replicas of himself and Margaret. Their friendship would not change because of misunderstandings between families. Even if someone suddenly spread the rumor that the Linguang family killed Noah's parents, even if the entire Casimir believed it, Noah would not believe it.

Even if it were the other way around, Margaret would not believe such rumors.

Therefore, their friendship must be much deeper than most people think. And this friendship and tacit understanding also formed the outline of the plan for the Snow Mountain Incident.

Miss Yaer was a formidable scout. Under her watchful eye, few could keep their secrets. Yet, this time, Nothis and Enthiotis had forgone all possible contact that might expose their secrets, relying instead on a tacit understanding to plan, preventing even Miss Yaer from seeing the truth. As for the reason—perhaps Enthiotis was right, he simply wanted to clear Kjerag of stubborn forces, allowing him to modernize as quickly as possible, transcend barriers, and reach the outside world.

In Kjerag, a place where politics and religion are combined, only Enthiotis can do this. After all, no matter how bad their relationship is, Enya is still Enthiotis's sister. If she succeeds the Great Elder as the religious leader, Enthiotis will naturally gain a say.

When the religious leader and the actual leader are all from the same family, there is no one in Kjerag who can stand in Enthiodis's way.

Therefore, whether it was the poisoning of the Great Elder or the assassination of Enthiodis, it was all planned.

Ensiodis was cruel to others, and even crueler to himself. The assassination attempt was true, but he was confident he wouldn't hit a vital part. He even used this method to frame the Brontao family, and the poisoned wine... Although Noya didn't quite believe it, she probably thought there was a traitor in the Perlochi family.

In short - Enthiotis's plan actually started when Enya became a saint.

Accumulate strength, establish reputation, discuss the return of power, and the Snow Mountain Incident.

The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. This plan had actually been finalized long before he came to Kjerag.

So Noah did not try to stop this incident from happening, because it was meaningless. When planning reached this point, there were not many loopholes left to exploit.

All she could do was try her best to prevent the ensuing civil war.

The Doctor rescued the two family heads, who would then restrain their own subordinates and prevent the civil war from starting immediately. This was a way to buy time, and Noah and the Doctor were on the same page, both acting to prevent the civil war.

only……

"Honestly, I don't think Enthiotis did anything wrong," Noya said. "Even though he and Nothis deceived everyone, what they were trying to do was indeed beneficial to Kjerag's development. Furthermore, Enthiotis is an excellent leader. With him around, Kjerag's future may not be without its potential."

And there was nothing for him to blame Enthiodis for. He had manipulated the emotions of the people of Casimir at will, tied all the chains of hatred to himself, and then ran away at the speed of light.

Compared to me, who was still thinking about running away, Ensioudis even planned to take everything on himself...

Enthyodis, Nothis, and myself are essentially the same kind of people.

But Kjerag is not Casimir, Noa believes, and there is still room for maneuver.

"So, we need to communicate, communicate well. We must prevent further civil war from occurring in this situation caused by Enthiotis," Noya said, shaking Moshi's hand. "So, I need your help. Moshi, do you wish to see Kjerag plunge into a complete civil war?"

Chapter 31: Giving

Noah Kyrielight.

Casimir is a sinner, a person who slanders the glory of the Knights, a clown who deceives and fools the public, and finally even flees in panic.

This was Noah's reputation, and while Noah himself didn't care how bad it was, Moshi inevitably discovered it while investigating Noah. Could she trust the man who had once been a close friend of the Radiant Knights, but had ultimately betrayed her and fled here?

As Noah explained Ensiodis and Nothis's plan, Moshi herself was also thinking. She agreed with most of what Noah said, even accepting that Nothis was lying to her. She had some inkling of this, but she didn't want to admit it. Even though she agreed with it in her heart... she didn't want to dwell on it.

Lord Nosis… If you tell her everything, she will do it even if it means dying.

But Lord Nothis chose to conceal it. He... perhaps no one believed it except Enthiodis.

After being abandoned, Noah reached out to her, and she suddenly hesitated.

Mo Xi is Nosis's loyal warrior, a true loyal warrior. She can die for Nosis. She will not have any complaints and will give everything to help Lord Nosis.

But now, she had to consider one thing - whether to betray Nothis.

That's right, accepting Noah's invitation... is a betrayal.

She trembled, unable to utter a word for a long time. Perhaps she didn't find being abandoned so difficult to accept. What she found difficult to accept was...why did Nothis lie to her?

Why did you hide it from her… If you told her, she would do anything.

“…” Noah did not urge her, but put his hand on her shoulder and hugged her tightly in his arms before she could react.

"Don't think of this as a betrayal. Wanting to act for others... is not something to be ashamed of," Noah said. "I understand. Wanting to act for others, wanting to protect their dreams, I completely understand."

"...But...he..."

"I trust you, Moshi," Noah said. "I'll tell you what to do. I'll be honest with you about everything. So, don't be sad. You now have a new responsibility."

"The story you started must be ended by your own hands."

-

"How is it? Is your face okay?" At this time, Enthyotis and Nothis finally met. The two brothers who had been talking in silence for a long time felt a little awkward when they met.

“…You can actually watch from the sidelines.”

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. That was the Black Knight—she could have taken down most of us here by herself. If she was truly determined to oppose us, could you or I have stopped her?" Enthyodis couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Nothis's swollen face, and could only wave his hand. "And, to be honest, while your actions were efficient, they were certainly too hasty. I had no choice but to cooperate with you... Honestly, there are probably still many flaws."

"You're still too cautious." Nosis, with half his face swollen and red, no longer looked as handsome as before, but his tone was still calm. "First of all, we lack someone who can use force to break the situation. We can only rely on the Mountain Snow Ghost Army."

"Indeed, if I had been able to get the Black Knight to join us, it would have been perfect." Enthiotis nodded. He certainly thought about poaching Noah's people, but Noah's ability to control people might be much stronger than his. To be honest, the Black Knight didn't beat him up, which was a sign of respect for him being Noah's partner.

"And...where's Moshi?"

“…was taken away by Noah.”

"..." Nothis stood up silently and was about to walk out the door, but was stopped by Enthiotis. "It's no use looking for her now. You've hidden so many things from her. She definitely won't want to come back with you."

"..." Nosis turned his head speechlessly, "There's no need for you to mock me like this. I know what I did."

"Really? I thought you really didn't care about her, but you still got anxious. I told her at the beginning... it's okay for you to tell her the plan." Enthyodis was actually very optimistic about both Moshi and Nosis, and even wanted to bring them together at one point.

But as a science and engineering guy with low emotional intelligence... if he was asked to please Mo Xi, he would understand it as strengthening Mo Xi's loyalty.

Although he did give a dagger in the end, what Enthyodis had asked him to give was actually flowers...

Enthyotis really thinks that his brother is good in every way except that his emotional intelligence is too low. As for Moshi who has always been in love with Nosis, he can only say that he is helpless.

"I'm doing this for the smooth implementation of the plan," Nosis defended, "but... I can understand that she might not want to come back."

"...Moshi won't be wronged by her. She's a very soft-hearted person." Ensiodis advised, "You should also know that it might be safer to stay over there."

"I understand." Enthyotis's words did calm Nothis down. If he thought about it carefully, he should have thought of this.

He had always been rational, but at this moment he inexplicably felt a sense of guilt... This guilt made him even give up thinking for a moment.

This is a very strange thing, at least for Nosis.

"Then, let's get your face healed first. You can't leave it swollen like this forever." Enthyotis watched Nothis's handsome face turn into half a pig's head, and the corners of his mouth rose again. "I'll find the best doctor."

"It's fine for me to come alone. You don't have to get involved. It wouldn't be good if others saw you and me interacting." Nosis turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to his gloating brother. "Besides, I can handle my own affairs. I don't need you to interfere."

"Okay, have a good rest and wait for you to come back." Enthyodis nodded and stood up. Before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Nosis, watching him looking at the wind and snow outside the window, with emotions flashing in his eyes that he had never seen before.

——Is all this what you wish?

Nosis?

Enthyodis left the room where Nosis was imprisoned and soon arrived in front of Manzhuyuan. In order to control this place, he used the excuse of protecting Manzhuyuan to forcibly send troops to control and block the place.

Essentially, he was already invincible.

Everyone thought he was the victim. Nosis's arrangement and his own reaction were perfect. He didn't know whether Noah and the Doctor would bring him any surprises.

I don’t know...how to break this perfect situation.

"Don't let me down...my ally." He said and closed his eyes in the heavy snow.
