Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

Regardless of the image of the knights who have been marginalized by the merchant federation in the daily propaganda received by the ordinary people of modern Casimir, at least in the memory of all this generation of Casimir people, the knights of battle are He is still a hero fighting on the front line to protect his family and country.The Ursus-Casimir War has not been long enough to fade into popular memory.

The bright and cold moonlight reflected on the armor of the Silver Spear Pegasus, but in everyone's eyes, it was not the moonlight, but the light emitted by them, which illuminated the darkness at this moment.

Audiences with better psychological qualities broke free from the previous influence the moment their figures appeared. These viewers who came back to their senses discovered that there was another low-key figure, just like Silver Spear Pegasus. When I got up and arrived at the arena, that person was none other than the leader of the Supervisory Committee - Grand Knight Captain Russell.

She didn't say anything. She just nodded to the Nightmare Chaser Knight who stood silently in the center of the arena, then shook her head. Then the six Silver Spear Pegasus walked out from behind her one after another, and the Knights took them away politely. Tora, a large-scale mass incident, took away Faros, who was still standing silently on the spot, and also collected the fragments left by the mysterious mechanical shattering.

"The Grandmaster personally took action..." the knight on the left sighed in the box.

Markowitz beside him nodded, "I think it is necessary to meet Ms. Russell..."

"Go ahead, Markowitz, and do what you can."

……

The next day, almost all newspapers reported on the "four-city partition" that was almost exactly the same as three years ago. The official explanation was the same as that year. The core city power furnace was attacked by unknown persons and the core cooling cycle was offline. , was forced to shut down automatically, and switched back to being powered by each mobile module itself.

Faced with this emergency situation, the Silver Spear Pegasus Knights, who had moved to a nearby garrison, should urgently enter the city to maintain order.The situation in the city has now been controlled.

There was another piece of news that appeared on the front page and second page of almost all media reports at almost the same time.That was the Lantern Knight Falos and the Nightmare Chaser Tora who competed that night. Because they caused adverse effects on the audience and judges outside the venue during the competition, they were all taken away for review.Moreover, the incident that broke out at the competition venue was solved by the Silver Spear Pegasus urgently called by Grand Knight Captain Russell. They eliminated the dangerous factors on the competition venue and maintained the order of the competition venue. No spectators or judges were injured.

……

In the Supervisory Committee responsible for this review, Nightmare Chaser Knight and Falos were placed in different inquiry rooms. They were all notified that the Grand Knight Commander would meet them in person.

Sitting on the chair, Xu Yu's mood was very calm. All actions were carried out according to Alpha's plan. However, even Alpha did not expect that the Nightmare Chaser Knight, a coward who was not yet a minor, would react to fear and fear. Shadow's control ability is so powerful, and with the help of the right time and place, his influence almost spreads to the huge competition venue.

"This sudden change has almost turned this arena into his home court. He unleashed his abilities without restraint, causing such an impact. It is unexpected but also reasonable."

110. Major Tournament Part.14

The four-city partition was advanced. This planned turmoil was supposed to happen later, but for some reason, the Red Pine Knights and others seized an opportunity.

That was the opportunity for the Unarmed Alliance, which was operating among the great knights, to suddenly cease.

From the internal communications intercepted by technical means, they could learn that there have been obvious differences between the Wuzhou Alliance and their superiors. The Federation of Commerce asked the Wuzhou League to continue cleaning up infected people and gave actual instructions. However, the Wuzhou Alliance has been pushing back on the grounds that it has recently suffered serious losses, its organization and morale have not yet recovered, and it needs new technical and tactical equipment support.

The newly appointed Platinum Chief took the lead in giving up the mission objectives that needed to be secured. This was only one of the evidences. There were also more abandoned safe houses, as well as several conflicts within the Wushu Alliance, which were discovered by the operators responsible for investigation.The chaos is real, not a show or a trap.

It is not surprising that the Wuzhou Alliance would adopt such an attitude. Information collected from many parties shows that the Wuzhou Alliance has not yet found out the specific cause of death of the black iron leader. Although they have inferred that he was killed by A certain direct-aimed weapon was used to snipe at an ultra-long distance, and the direction of the attack was roughly determined, but who was the person who launched the sniper, what weapons and techniques were used, and how did the equipment flow into Cassie? Mir, no one knows.

The initial impact has gradually undermined the internal stability of the Wuzhou Alliance. The ordinary soldiers of the Wuzhou Alliance who knew the scene at that time were unwilling to participate in the subsequent actions against the infected. They were working as killers to get paid, but that does not mean that Someone really wants to sell their life.Others, on the other hand, are more inclined to obey orders from the business federation than to obey orders from their immediate superiors.

In addition, in addition to the big bosses, there are also many group leaders with their own agendas. The complicated interlocking interests make it impossible for their actions to be consistent. Various killing jobs that used to go smoothly have been paid high fees. The issues of remuneration and high-pressure management were exposed one after another at this moment.Therefore, the time when the offensive function of the Wuzhou Alliance was paralyzed was much earlier than the "plot" known to Alpha.

Without the Wuzhou Alliance as an important opponent, Sona's partners did not send a request to terminate the operation. After weighing the pros and cons of various parties, Sona decided to act ahead of schedule.As the saying goes, hurry up sooner rather than later. If the Business Federation jumps over the wall and recruits a group of mercenaries to come over, things will be in big trouble.

Rainbow Squad did not participate in this kind of armed attack on Casimir, an important city in a sovereign country. This does not mean that they are very conscious not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The reason is very simple and straightforward. This kind of work is not within the scope of Rainbow Squad. Within the scope of the classified mission messages of sub-black operations, Alpha also specifically mentioned to them that this core conflict would not be convenient for them to participate in it, otherwise the risks they would face would not only be limited to the political risk of information leakage, but also include risk from high-threat enemies.

However, there are some things they can do voluntarily, such as using unmanned reconnaissance equipment for long-distance intelligence support.

So this second four-city partition took place on the night when the game was going on. Except that the time was advanced by one day, its main purpose had been achieved. The Supervisory Committee would use this opportunity to mobilize knights into the city as a card. The Silver Spear Pegasus, the most loyal and powerful knights of Simil, have a deterrent force that cannot be underestimated by any party. Their successful entry into the city means that the Supervisory Committee has taken the initiative.

But, this is just the beginning...

……

In the interrogation room of the Supervisory Committee, Faros raised her head and looked at the elderly knight grandmaster who walked in with a smile.Grand Knight Commander Russell was also looking at her.For a moment, the Grand Knight Commander was in a trance. She seemed to hear two different laughters and feel two different eyes on this calm and elegant Agor man, but this feeling was fleeting. , she could only attribute it to an illusion.

"Ms. Falos, I still remember the brief meeting with you at the title conferment ceremony." The Grand Knight Commander sat opposite her with a kind smile, "I am very curious about you at that time. You still carry an indomitable determination and momentum, no matter your words or expressions, what comes out of you is that winning the championship is as easy as picking up something from a bag."

As he spoke, the Great Knight let out a long sigh, "But now, why would you take the initiative to use those special equipment and equipment that are likely to cause controversy? Obviously you are capable of finishing every game you encounter, but During the Major Tournament, you still insisted on using them. Although your lover is now a senior executive of Brilliant Shield Industry, during this period of work, no Brilliant Shield Industry logo appeared on your equipment. You even Don’t bother to promote your equipment in the main game…”

"So you are curious about the purpose of our actions, right?" Falos smiled sweetly.

"Of course, since I invited you here, it means that I am ready to ask all the questions of concern in person."

Then, the smiling expression on Faros's face became much calmer, she restored her natural and friendly expression, and met the Grand Knight Commander's gaze again.

"Dear Ms. Russell, I think there is one thing. You must wait until you understand my intentions before making any plans, right? You will tell me about the proposal to revise the rules of the Knights Major. As well as the bill to re-standardize the management of Originium skills used by competitive knights on the field, they are already on the desk of the National Assembly, and special emergency regulations have been passed to push these proposals to the stage of waiting for completion and approval. "

"How do you know?" The Grand Knight Commander was calm, but there was still some curiosity in her eyes.

"I have the ability to know this kind of information, so here, I also plan to tell the truth why I have done this."

"please say."

"My plan is to promote relevant management bills and regulations and put them on the agenda of relevant units to re-standardize knight sports this morning. I don't want it to have huge potential to become a large-scale international event and to promote this The Casimir Knights Competition, a useful window for people from countless different nationalities and ethnic groups to understand each other across the land, was destroyed by the endlessly expanding business federation in just over ten years of development."

111.Olympic

The expression on the great knight's face changed for a long time when she heard Faros' answer. She obviously did not expect to receive such an answer.This is also reasonable. Although Casimir's knight competition can be regarded as an "international" competitive sport in a sense, no one has ever proposed it in this land. A relatively fair model of sports competition can achieve the purpose of promoting mutual exchanges between various countries.

"Are you serious?" Ms. Russell looked at the competitive knight in front of her with a serious expression. There were still too many mysteries about the Lantern Knight. In distant Iberia, Casimir was unable to investigate her background in depth. .Not to mention the foreigner director who was close to her. If it hadn't been for that Colliver who really brought technology and funds and really saved the glorious shield industry that was in trouble, everyone would just put him As a liar.

“Casimir’s knight competition itself, as a sport with the characteristics of Casimir, already has a considerable scale and a relatively mature competition model, and has even created huge commercial success, attracting people from different countries to participate. Participate in it. It has the potential to grow beyond just a regular league, both in terms of visibility and reputation."

Grand Knight Commander Russell listened to her words very carefully, and it was not difficult to see from her expression that she was really thinking about the possibility of the suggestion itself.

"There is also a very important point, Ms. Russell. Fighting and strife are common in this land. It is better to compete on the field than to bleed on the battlefield. And international sports competitions will spontaneously promote Mutual exchanges between people of various countries, even if this exchange is not too friendly, can still break down the barriers originally created between people due to geographical, humanistic and political factors to a certain extent. And this most basic understanding, In many cases, it can even become a lubricant for higher-level communication.”

"This idea is beyond my imagination, Ms. Fallos, I must admit that the idea and suggestion you put forward has positive constructive significance..." The Grand Knight Commander poured a cup of tea for Fallos, " Can you tell me how this idea came about?"

Falos nodded.

"Things have to start from ancient times..." Alpha lied, using the excuse of accidentally wandering into the ruins of the ancestors to tell Russell some re-edited stories and briefly introduced the spirit of the Olympic Movement to her. , and the story of the Olympic Games.

"This is a lofty and beautiful ideal, which opened my eyes... This is a great cause worth fighting for. I sincerely hope that it can really move from your ideal to reality."

千,.!:寻?'."免;?'?费;".:小;;说,..",裙.?:"2?:?5?.?,5:":;5?':?.9;!..!5:!"?,3'!0?:.0　　“能得到您的肯定，法洛丝倍感荣幸。”

There was a kind smile on the face of the Grand Knight Commander, "After all, I am limited to Fan Cong. If I were young, I would definitely put aside what I was doing and run around and shout for it. Unfortunately, now, I can only sit in this position. , as the great knight captain, look after Casimir." As she spoke, she sighed softly, "Everything in Casimir is developing, and the glory of the knights is slowly being obscured in this land. In the dust, many people believe that as a symbol of military nobility, knights should have given up their position to the booming modern industry and commerce in this land. However, the emerging forces that grow without restraint and barbarism, in my opinion, cannot take on a big role... …”

"Ahem... I'm sorry, as people get older, they always like to say more useless things."

"No, Grand Master, your words come from the bottom of your heart, how can they be useless. Moreover, you have always practiced it and performed your duties, which is admirable."

"My child, I feel honored to be recognized by you."

Time always flies by very quickly, and it is impossible for the Grand Knight Commander, who still has various matters waiting to be dealt with, to chat with Falos all day long. After all, official business brought her back to her position.Before leaving, the Grand Knight Commander held Fallows's hands tightly and told her to take care of herself.

What Alpha and Xu Yu, the initiators of all this, didn't know was that the Grand Knight Commander's inquiry was actually her impromptu idea. Compared with the simple-minded and easy-to-guess Nightmare Chaser Knight, this one has always been shrouded in mystery, and The Lantern Knight with his powerful skills had long aroused her curiosity.Her original plan was to personally come forward to learn about the mechanical golem that appeared on the field that night, to see if this powerful military-grade technology could be introduced to the Knights, and to test that person on the way. Colliver's purpose, but she didn't expect that she would get such an answer here.

And this answer far exceeded her expectations.

……

The modern Olympic spirit advocates that everyone should have the possibility to engage in sports without any form of discrimination.Emphasis on understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair play.This original intention, given that Terra is a land with various social forms, extremely uneven development, and people living in difficult living conditions for a long time, is more like an unattainable ambition than an ideal, and all other more progressive ideals Just as ethereal.

But at least, it is just a spirit based on sports and more focused on specific things. It is already a theoretical possibility on the modern continent of Terra.

After all, the father of the modern Olympic Games, Mr. Pierre de Coubertin, advocated and held the first Olympic Games in [-], which was the years before the two wars and before the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is an era that is falling apart, Tsarist Russia is still alive, feudal imperialism is still rampant, the second industrial revolution is in full swing, and mankind is walking on the road of industrialization and historical evolution.

In contrast, the countries of Terra, at least in terms of productivity, already have the possibility of allowing this ideal to take root.

What's more, in the foreseeable future, the countries of Terra will face challenges from all directions. Countries on the mainland need one opportunity after another to learn to abandon their prejudices and learn to face the upcoming challenges together.

This is why Alpha chose to throw the concept of Olympics to Russell, and she sincerely wanted to promote this spirit and spread it across the land.The Olympic spirit is also a spirit of equality. From a certain perspective, it is also a positive spiritual signal for the vast number of lower-class people and infected people on the road.

There is a long way to go to change the social atmosphere on the road, but every possible positive effort is worth trying.

112. Major Tournament Part.16-The Doctor’s Review

Sitting on the sofa in the hotel, the doctor was holding a tablet computer with the Star of Life tactical network logo painted on it that he rarely used. He was silently browsing the information from various operational units during the Great Partition that night. Report.This kind of report requires absolute confidentiality, so he will use this communication method that cannot be intercepted by existing technology.

The report at the top of the queue is from the Rainbow Team. Their report also comes with data recorded by the tactical recorders they carry, as well as various comprehensive data recorded by unmanned equipment. Among all reports, The one with the highest reference value and authority.

Before looking at the specific records, the doctor flipped through the packaged detailed report and fell into deep thought. Is it necessary for Rhodes Island to introduce a corresponding system to optimize the accuracy of the combat records of field operators, so that Relevant records are more meaningful for reference and learning.

Rainbow Team did not participate in the operation to create a four-city partition that night, but they still provided advisory work and technical support to the best of their ability. At the same time, when the infected people of the Red Pine Knights left their stronghold, they provided safety for the infected civilians. Conservation work.

The technical assistance they provided recorded part of the activities of the Red Pine Knights. As a confidential file, it was passed to the doctor with Alpha's authorization.

The Knights of the Red Pine's intelligence channels and their own contacts secretly tipped them off to the conflicts that broke out within the Uncensored Alliance and their employer, the Commercial Federation. This phenomenon led to the group's ongoing attacks on infected people. The killer organization's internal command and management has experienced temporary chaos, and only a small number of personnel are still in action.

Seizing this opportunity, the Red Pine Knights were divided into three groups. Wildmane led a heavy-duty team with the best equipment and escorted several infected knights disguised as civilians to appear near Lot Zero, successfully attracting Attracted the attention of some Wuzhou Alliance.And these Wuqiu Alliance are already a considerable part of the Wuqiu Alliance that can still maintain operation.

While making preparations, Yanwei contacted the contact person who had decided on the matter through the previous special channel. The other party used internal means to lead the vigilance of the energy facilities in the core city to the Grand Knight Cavaleriaki. Some adjustments were made, and although the operation was moved a day earlier, the other party seemed happy with this unexpected change of plans.

Taking advantage of the gap in the security force, the demolition team led by Hui Hao easily entered the power furnace, but just as they were preparing to plant the bomb, an uninvited guest appeared - Lapis Monique.

Monique was obviously very surprised that the infected were now here. From the look of her, it was obvious that she was here for business. Hui Hao was too lazy to waste even a single word with this Wuxia Alliance who had brutally killed infected people more than once. , she picked up the MLG grenade launcher given to her by Ashes, and fired all six program-controlled explosive bombs in the bomb nest at Monique in one breath.

This MLG is a newly produced version of the Life Star. It also uses Beilian standard ammunition. This anti-explosive grenade can be used to demolish light armor-reinforced facilities and has a larger killing radius for personnel.After watching the weapons experiment site, both Skadi and Ceria expressed that they absolutely did not want to be blown up by this thing at close range.

And Xiao Hui, filled with rage, fired six rounds at the lapis lazuli Monique.

Monique dodges very quickly. The complex underground terrain allows her to have space to avoid grenade damage. However, Xiao Hui, who has been using handheld artillery for many years, has long been comfortable with this weapon after a period of training. Six The grenade blocked almost all the space for her to move around. Even if it couldn't kill her, it could still peel off a layer of her skin.

Lazuli is still capable. This round of bombing did not take away Monique, but when she retreated hastily, she abandoned her backpack and quiver.The heavy all-steel arrows in her quiver blocked some of the fatal fragments for her, leaving her with only a considerable amount of trauma, and she had to abandon her load and run away in embarrassment.

In her backpack, everyone found a bomb. The Wuzhou Alliance was also planning to blow up the energy center and create a large partition. Unfortunately, they were preempted by Hongsong.

After this small episode, Huihao and his team quickly and successfully completed the installation of the bomb and detonated it.This kicked off the new four-city partition.

……

"Doctor, if their actions are discovered by the Wuxia Alliance, won't they be reported and cause adverse effects?"

"Of course not. This operation was ordered by the Supervisory Committee. If it were just that, it would indeed be somewhat dangerous. However, their combat recorder recorded the entire battle process when they encountered Lapis Monique. This information is equivalent to a Reciprocal deterrence, if the other party uses this to threaten or attack, they can naturally retaliate, and they can also create reasons to blame the entire explosion on the Wuzhou Alliance."

The doctor smiled and said, "Moreover, the media now has a greater focus on the Silver Spear Pegasus entering the city and the loss of Originium skills in the arena that day. They failed to notice the root cause of the large partition."

Little Rabbit nodded, but looking at the doctor's expression, it seemed that the doctor had said something, but at the same time he seemed to have left something unsaid.

……

Next, there was a report, which came from the Grand Knights, and was submitted by Shining. The report provided by Shining mentioned that a local insider contacted Margaret through her relationship.

"Maena Linguang, Margaret's uncle, now works as an employee in a company under the Grand Knights, but he was once a famous ranger in Casimir, a hidden master."

Ma Enna provided some inside information and asked Shining some things about Margaret. The exchange between the two parties was friendly, and Uncle Ma Enna seemed to have heard about Shining's former identity.But knowing some inside information, he didn't care about the identity of the Shining Absolver. On the contrary, he was really just worried about Margaret.

"Mr. Maenna is an excellent person, with strong abilities, humble, compassionate and polite. But for some reasons, he has been suppressing his ideals and committing himself to reality." In the report, The Shining used this The tone describes the man who is no longer surrounded by the golden Pegasus.

"It is recommended that the Doctor devote some attention to this aspect. Mr. Maenna is a talent worth recruiting, and his situation is forcing him to make some changes."

Ami looked at the report and asked the doctor in confusion, "It seems that Miss Steer's report rarely mentioned Mr. Maenna."

"That's because Ma Enna had a private discussion with her once, and Shirter had never fought without using Levantine, so she didn't want to mention it."

"Uh..." Little Rabbit pulled down his ears and covered his eyes. As a non-staff operator, Shirter seemed a bit too casual in this regard.
