Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

Some call him the merciless scales, who punished the titled knights who slaughtered infected knights, and crushed the infamous Unarmored Alliance; he is a true knight.

The destitute infected were even more gleeful at the Knight's crushing defeat.

Even so, the Kasimir people's assessment of Lotin was not simply based on fear of his infamous reputation.

Margaret Nearl, who had returned to the Great Knights Territory, and a Sarkaz pardoner also learned of the deaths of Silver Spear Pegasus and Grandmaster Ioleta from television.

In a secluded bar on Jinyu Avenue, the owner and bartender, who wears a prosthetic leg, is wiping empty glasses.

This veteran knight, who once followed her grandfather Cyril Nearl, was one of the best knights in terms of both ability and character. Despite her advanced age, she was still willing to view new things with equanimity. She was an elder whom Margaret respected.

Of course, the Radiant Knight recognized "Nautilus." She had witnessed "Nautilus" appear in this manner both in Chernobog and on the Rhodes Island main ship.

But she never expected that their reunion would be in this way.

Lady Ioleta's death came as a surprise to Margaret, and the large number of Silver Spear Pegasus horses that perished in the Great Knights' Territory made Margaret realize the extremely ominous indirect consequences.

In a public sense, she and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) are not truly on the same side; in fact, the SFC is also an object of her struggle.

Personally, the murdered Silver Spear Pegasus, along with Grand Knight Ioleta, were all familiar faces to her, whom she had seen every day since childhood, and from whom her families had looked after each other.

It would be impossible for her to say that she felt no anger, sadness, or regret about it.

However, they were not truly on the same path after all, and she did indeed refuse Ioleta's invitation to join the Knights.

"Nautilus's perfect adherence to the Rhodes Island Accords is beyond question."

The Radiant Knight clenched his temples, repeating an undeniable fact: getting along with Nautilus was simpler than getting along with anyone else.

"Could it be that when Ms. Russell paid her tithes—"

If that's the case, Margaret believes that Nautilus's outburst of anger was not entirely without reason.

According to the rules of the Brass Ghost, tax evasion has extremely terrible consequences, and it is likely that something similar happened between Silver Spear Pegasus and Nautilus.

Out of the corner of his eye, the Radiant Knight glanced at his sister Maria, who was tending to his spear. The usually steadfast and fearless Radiant Knight wavered for a moment.

The annihilation of more than twenty Silver Spear Pegasus warriors will create a significant gap in Kazimir's elite infantry force. However, the main force in modern warfare has long been high-speed warships. In contrast, Ioleta's death will have a more profound impact on Kazimir.

At least when Kazimierz faces a truly desperate situation, the opponent will actually exert their power, just like the giant knights worshipped by the ancient Kazimierz.

Furthermore, he specifically named the Knights of Glory as "the new sprouts to whom the future of Kazimierz can be entrusted." If such a statement had come from a knight of the Board of Supervisors, the Knights of Glory would have simply interpreted it as a political investment in him.

Nautilus's goal was even more direct: he simply wanted to restore the Giant Knights' influence over Kazimierz.

He not only slaughtered the Unarmored Assassins, which greatly reduced the obstacles Margaret faced, but he also shattered Kazimierz's sharpest spear, causing her support to disappear as well.

Is she going to face such a monster?

He was still feeling fortunate that the other party was his ally while he was in Chernobog.

"Don't overthink it, Margaret."

Margaret said this to herself, just as the Doctor sent her a message through the terminal.

"Nautilus never breaks his promises."

Lin Guang repeated the message sent from the terminal, which was only this short sentence.

The doctor knew very well that Lotin was not interested in the mundane affairs of the Terran kingdoms, which was why he dared to make an assurance to Nearl.

Lotin was still waiting for the Radiant Knight to arrive at the National Assembly; the senator dismembered by Laurentina was already the third.

If Loting remembers correctly, that Councilor Duke was the corrupt official who repeatedly protected the Bronze Rust Knight in the original storyline for abusing and killing the Infected Arena Knights. Even after Loting clearly told him to "please be patient, councilors," he still tried to contact the Ingra family to take him away.

Even though the Ingra family would never risk their lives for a puppet erected in the National Assembly, Lotin still allowed Laurentina to vent her urge to cut and destroy on him.

Finally, the gates of the National Assembly were opened, and the bewildered city defense troops made way for the Radiant Knight.

Not all seats in the National Assembly have a full person seated; some seats only have one hand or one leg.

Margaret preferred a fair trial for these people, but most of the National Assembly members who had long since degenerated into mouthpieces for the two major groups did indeed deserve to die.

"Please allow me to ask a question first—"

“She had to die. If I didn’t kill her, she tried to humiliate me by committing suicide.”

Lotin interrupted the Radiant Knight's question, knowing that Margaret would definitely ask it.

"She deceived you?"

"She refuses to accept the exact same conditions as now, but instead tries to take advantage of the situation and continue to flaunt my power to the businessmen."

Luo Ting has never shown any pity for those who refuse to listen when spoken to politely and even try to shift the blame.

"Not only that, she also wants to put me back in the coffin north of Kazimir."

With a hint of anger, Loting gave a brief answer to the Radiant Knight's question, leaving it to the other party to decide whether to believe her or not.

"I understand."

"I will pass your test."

The Radiant Knight raised the lance that had accompanied her to victory in the knightly tournament; she already knew the truth in her heart.

"Please do not break your promise and protect Kazimir."

The biggest lesson Ioletta taught Margaret was not to try to have any unrealistic ambitions in the face of the tithe.

"I will never break my promise, Knight of Glory."

Lotin raised his hammer and axe again.

Chapter 91: This official will test your ability to penetrate the armor line.

The golden light was as dazzling as the real sun. It was the first time that Loting had ever seen someone from the Nearl family use Originium Arts face to face.

The light was softer than that of the [Light Knight Nautilus], yet extremely similar; the opponent's Originium Arts seemed to have been created based on the template of the Giant Knight.

Unfortunately, Cyril Nearl has passed away, and Lottin will likely never get the answer to this question.

“You knew from the beginning that I came here to change Kazimierz.”

"And you seem to really believe that I will change Kazimir."

As the spear and hammer-axe clashed, Margaret quickly realized that continuing to ask questions during the fight was an extremely arrogant act. The hammer-axe emitted extremely chaotic energy, which gradually slowed her movements.

“This is my demonstration, Radiant Knight.”

"I cannot accept that the future of Kazimierz will not include the Giant Knight."

That's why he made the demand that the Grand Knight Commander, the Knights Tournament Champion, and special Kazimierz newcomers like Nearl all undergo the trials of the Giant Knights, in order to prevent the Kazimierz from trying to erase their knowledge of him again.

The fragile wooden floor of the National Academy was simply unable to withstand such a fierce battle. Blackened wood chips flew throughout the National Academy. Soon, as the gate of the National Academy was smashed, the battle between the Radiant Knight and the Giant Knight moved outdoors.

Loud noise.

Loud noises.

Each clash of weapons sparked and severed lines of sight. Just relying on Originium Arts to stop the opponent's death ray was already an all-out effort for her.

Margaret leaped into the air, transforming into a dazzling meteor as she plummeted to the ground, facing a surrounding array of silver shields.

As her shield shattered, the tip of her spear also broke into pieces in a puff of white smoke.

"You pass."

“The Radiant Knight is the one who has passed my test; she is qualified to save the misguided Kazimierz.”

That's enough. The tip of the Radiant Knight's spear has been shattered. This is the effect Lotin wanted.

No one dared to object, no one dared to question. The Business Federation had long planned to expose the truth that Margaret was not an infected person, in order to create conflict between the Radiant Knights and the Nearl family, but their mouthpiece in the National Assembly was now speechless.

Of course, some of them probably no longer have a complete "mouth" organ.

At this moment, the Radiant Knight finally realized the true purpose of Loting's summons.

He was forcing himself to accept a difficult handout, while she was powerless to do anything about it and had no choice but to accept it.

"Where are you going?"

Margaret looked at Lotte with a wry smile. She really couldn't convince herself to be hostile towards Lotte.

First, Kazimierz was in a complete mess, and then Lotin simply said, "Go ahead and do it. I will support your ideas and your path 100%." ​​He also took the opportunity to remove all the obstacles in his path in a very brutal and direct manner.

Margaret doesn't even need to face the dilemma of who should bear the blame.

However, the prerequisite for her to continue down this path in Kazimierz is passing Lotin's "test".

Kazimir's future is what he has given him.

"Go to the Securities and Futures Commission."

Lotin was going to the Supervisory Board to confirm one last thing—why the Grand Knights and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board knew so much about the history of the Giant Knights.

“You can’t just dump a Casimir riddled with problems on me.”

Margaret just felt that the other party's behavior was a bit too extreme.

Out with the old, in with the new.

“I have high hopes for your ideals and path, Radiant Knight.”

Lotin had finally managed to fully unlock the potential of this skin. If Kazimierz really self-destructed, wouldn't all the effort he put into leveling up the [Light Knight Nautilus] character have been for nothing?

Therefore, handing Kazimierz over to the Radiant Knight is the optimal solution.

Lotin used the funds he obtained from defeating Silver Spear Pegasus to synthesize [Winter's Arrival]. From then on, mana would no longer be a problem for him, and more health meant faster growth of Heartsteel, as well as higher spell power.

The next piece of equipment is [Endless Hatred].

"Avenge the Grand Knight Commander!"

The old knight, his chest adorned with medals, roared and blocked Lotin's path.

"Why would the Grand Knight Commander know the Giant Knight's secret?"

Lotin's voice was chilling. Ioleta's actions made Lotin vaguely realize that the history of the Giant Knights had been erased not simply because of the changing times, but because of the generations of effort of the knights of Kazimierz.

"Wishful thinking! You'll never know!"

The surrounding members of the supervisory committee desperately tried to hold back the old knight. Faced with Lotin's relentless pressure, the highest-ranking war knight was the most apprehensive.

Clearly, they know more.

Previously, Tora had expressed his envy, wondering why he was the only one still active in the world. However, Lotin learned from a member of parliament who came from the education sector that while the history books contained accounts of the Khan, they did not mention the Giant Knights.

Aside from the inscriptions on the ruins and the oral traditions, the Knight of Light, Nautilus, left no written record. However, the Grand Knight was fully aware that the giant knights' power originated from the knowledge of the Kazimierz people, and even prepared a contingency plan for limiting his own power.

"How many generals does Kazimir have left to squander?"

The hammer and axe slammed into the ground, shaking the hearts of these conquering knights.

Those sitting in the Hall of the Council of Eminence are the people who control all the military power of Kazimierz, and among them, the most senior, the ancient knight families who have served Kazimierz for generations are indeed responsible for keeping the secrets of the Giant Knights.

"What, brave knight of Kazimir, why do you dare not step forward?"

One of the generals was held in Lotin's hand, and he could suffocate at any moment as time went by.

The general's face turned purple, and his struggles grew weaker and weaker.

Lotin's turn of his head seemed to be a warning: "You're next."

"Past offenses will not be punished."

Loting only said that he could forgive the Grand Knight Commander's past actions, but he didn't say that he would forgive past grievances. However, he still said it, because you need bait to catch fish.

"Once upon a time, the Kuranta tribe on the Kazimir plains prospered under the protection of the giant knights."

"They imitated the behavior and code of the giant knights, and thus the knight culture of Kazimierz was born."

"The Great Khan and the Tidehunters' challenge to the Giant Riders revealed the source of the giants' power, and thus, the plan to dismember the giants continued for centuries. The Giant Riders, stripped of the reverence of the Casimir people, were nothing more than giants made of mud,"

"The giant knight eventually disappeared into a small tomb among the mountains, and the knights of the Kazimierz were able to monopolize all authority."

Under pressure, the ancient families responsible for promoting the plan revealed their secret: each family head only inherited a fragment, and when combined, they formed the complete historical picture of the [Light Knight Nautilus] skin in Terra.

Clearly, the information they inherited made it clear that the Giant Knight would not break his promise. Rather than be strangled for hiding the truth, they decided to take a gamble by telling the truth.

They passed this information down so that if the giant knights were to return one day, they would still know the enemy's secrets and weaknesses.

Now everything makes sense. It's not surprising to Lotin that the Grand Knight Commander would have such a mindset and attitude.

These knights deliberately allowed the Giant Knight to be forgotten, thinking that this would strip him of his power.

This struggle has a strong flavor of the conflict between royal power and divine power.
