Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

Broken Bones - a cadre of the Integrated Movement Assault Force, was witnessed many times in the outer ring area of ​​Longmen.There is intelligence that he is participating in a special operation in the area. It can be said that he is one of the guys that Superintendent Chen of the Longmen Guard Bureau wants to catch the most.

"other people?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he originally felt a bit of joy in his heart for finding the target, but he immediately frowned under the gas mask.

"Is it the so-called Rhode Island? Or is it the loser of Longmen?"

Shattered Bones asked.His hands unconsciously touched the Originium explosives and their launchers that were used as weapons on his waist.

He is one of the radicals in the integration movement who is particularly keen on retaliating against non-infected people.And at this juncture when he finally found Misha and was about to reunite, he couldn't possibly use his anger to kill all the enemies who stood in his way.

But then, the answer given by the Integration Movement soldier to Broken Bone's questioning surprised him.

"No, they seem to be from other places. They have very good equipment, and their skills are also... All our followers in the past were dealt with by them."

Although none of them were life-threatening, most of them suffered from impaired mobility, and some even suffered from paralysis-type poison. It can be said that not only this operation, but even the next ten days and a half were unable to fight normally.

There is no doubt that this is the result of deliberate selection with extremely strong purpose.

"——Want to delay us? Dreaming!!"

....................................................................................

[12: 16]

"Over here! Those non-infected people are over here! Don't let them escape, get them quickly, ugh!!"

Before the Integration Movement soldier finished shouting, a powerful crossbow arrow penetrated the protective gear and destroyed his knee. Then the anesthetic attached to it was quickly injected into and sealed the infected person. The ability to resist made him fall to the ground like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

After completing another kill, the sniper opened battlefield communications.

[Narcotics reserves are running low, Lord Geraint.Moreover, we have observed a group of relatively disciplined integrated teams approaching here quickly, and there seems to be a commanding class among them - do you want to get on the rail crossbow and snipe him? ]

"It's not necessary for the time being. We don't need to affect His Highness's plan for such a lack of dangerous target; when the ammunition is used up, we will come down and participate in the protection of the mission target."

[learn]

Quickly, Geraint completed the exchange of intelligence and the addition of follow-up tasks.

But having said that, judging from the fact that the number of non-lethal weapons and ammunition carried by the scout team was actually insufficient, the number of people involved in the integration movement actually exceeded his expectations.

This is not a number that can be achieved by normal infiltration, especially when the dragon gate itself is under martial law.Therefore, the integration movement must have carried out a second expansion here, and many local infected people in Longmen must have been absorbed by the integration movement.

This is not surprising.

After all, no matter which city they are in, the infected are at the bottom of the social pyramid, and they are the kind that are in another level than the poor.As a result, he suffered from the conflicting vents of those who were also at the bottom but were in a higher position.

Under such circumstances, even if the integrated movement of organizations that support infected people still cannot solve their problems, it will be enough as long as they can make them see some hallucinations - because it is difficult for infected people to even see hallucinations.

With the help of this "home of the infected" that Chernobog was captured; even a discerning person can see that it contains huge dangers and loopholes, but even if it is a fantasy, most infected people will ignore everything, Reach out to grab that ethereal life-saving straw.

This is the fundamental reason why the integrated movement can expand rapidly.

Either it's revenge against the non-infected, or it's the desire to get the future...

"This cannot continue. Those integration movements are always chasing us."

After using her Origin Stone skills to create an invisible barrier and blocking a wave of spell attacks launched by the Integrated Movement Warlocks; looking at the Integrated Movement troops that could be observed with the naked eye, Amiya thought for a moment and made a decision. .

"Miss Saff, Mr. Geraint. Please take Misha back to Rhodes Island first. I'll stay and help you buy some time."

"Queen? Yes, but leave it to us."

Although he did not carry any weapons, Caprini could still easily knock down the Integration Movement-infected person who was attacking the team with a short knife using only his battle-experienced martial arts skills and physical strength.

"My Lord's order is that Amiya from Rhode Island bring the target back, and our round table will play a supporting role during this period."

"Just like Sister Gawain said, Amiya." Geraint smiled and slowed down his pace to follow the team.

"Unless it is helpless, the Knights of the Round Table have never had the habit of letting their children marry for themselves. Otherwise, if His Highness finds out, I will be severely punished..."

As he spoke, the Knight of the Round Table, who placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, turned around to face the dozens of people in the integration movement led by Broken Bones behind him.

However, he didn't seem to have any intention of calling back the scout team for reinforcements.

The figure preparing to break off alone made Amiya feel a little worried; she even thought of ACE in Chernobog last week who was prepared to risk his life to protect himself from the integration tyrant - although he was lucky enough to have O Zward's rescue was a false alarm, but will it be the same this time?

Amiya didn't know, at least when she got up in the morning and called the doctor to say hello, the quality of the communication was not good.It seems that the red dragon is busy with other things, and may even have left the dragon gate temporarily.

and so……

"Is it really okay? Only Mr. Geraint...can he really block so many integration movements?"

"That's enough. If he can't deal with those people without injury, he won't be qualified to be a Knight of the Round Table."

Faced with Amiya's question, the black knight answered calmly.

"His [Blessing] is very good at dealing with situations where the average strength is inferior to his own but there are also a lot of them."

"Intensive Care?"

"You can understand it as a contract to swear allegiance; most of the Knights of the Round Table have [protection] from my Lord - so it is enough to leave it to him."

Under the scorching sun at noon, the black knight breathed out a scorching breath.

Then, when passing by a corner and facing a shadow, she nodded to it almost imperceptibly, and then walked away with Amiya and her group who were still a little worried and looked back many times.

ps: I have to spend most of this month practicing driving, so the updates will be a little sparse (this is also the reason why I didn’t write yesterday and the day before yesterday. After practicing driving, people will come back in a daze)

The Legend of King Arthur of True Terra - The Last Days of Qicheng: 36 The Ring of Horrible Hearts - Geraint

"Boom--"

Continuous explosions echoed deep in the slums.

That was the power of Bone Broken, one of the cadres of the Integration Movement; the Originium product, which was not stable due to purity issues, was catalyzed by the launcher and Originium technology, and exploded with a stronger impact than under natural circumstances, destroying the slums without any construction. The indescribable ruins were destroyed and turned into powder.

"That's really radical, kid."

Looking at the destruction caused by the broken bones, Geraint sighed and waved the sword blade in his hand. The soil and rocks that the sword pressed were pulled up, and the smoke and dust solidified into a solid barrier, blocking the explosives coming towards him.

According to the original strategic plan, the tail tails of the integrated movement were to be dealt with using non-lethal means that could be restored and restored. It was hoped that they would stop the action with the safety of their own compatriots in mind.

But unfortunately, they don't seem to have such an idea; at least they didn't stop out of consideration for their laggard colleagues - maybe they will take them with them when they withdraw from Longmen, but before that, during operations like now, these Infected people who lack mobility are more likely to be captured by the Longmen Guards Bureau because they are unable to protect themselves, and are in a semi-abandoned position.

In addition, it is not just the "burdens" that they have half-abandoned.

Just like an explosion, you need to pay attention not only to the flames in the center, but also to the secondary damage caused by the impact... In the initial explosive attack of Bone Broken Bones, there were many Dragon Gate infected people who were unable to escape due to the suddenness of the incident. They, who in the eyes of the world should belong to the integration movement, were also implicated in it and became victims under the rubble.

"...Before and after the establishment of the Integration Movement, there were two leaders. In order to protect us infected people, they fought against Ursus for a long time.

They said that there are so many Ursans who are also fighting against the Ursas for the infected.But they were not in Chernobog.

Chernobog watched us die with cold eyes——

"Integrate the movement, the enemy who stands in your way is only me, not these innocent people."

"——Innocent? Oh, who is innocent?!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to reload ammunition, Broken Bones immediately let out a disdainful sneer after hearing Geraint's accusation.

"Did anyone object when Chernobog implemented the quarantine system? When we were dragged to the mines, when Ursus dumped us in the mines and frozen fields, leaving us to die in the cold winter, who Have you ever objected? Has anyone stood up and opposed it?! Haha...

We Ussans often say that we should treat our relatives as warm as spring...but treat our enemies——"

Shattered Bones did not continue to speak, but from the Origin Stone that started to heat up again in his hand, Geraint already knew what he had not finished.

"You should be lucky, kid. As a new blood, I have no right to evaluate the king's past actions, and he will probably not allow direct execution. Otherwise, I will punish all of you who slandered my king based on these words. Destroy."

After all, he is a knight who has sworn allegiance. Before his master makes a mistake, it is his mission to carry out his will to the end.

And Geraint could see that hatred had grown into a huge thorn in the hearts of the cadres of the integration movement in front of him, and even the infected people of his colleagues, causing them to hate all non-infected people from the bottom of their hearts, and even wanted to The infected people who intervened to stop their atrocities...these guys have hatred in their hearts, and they will show even greater anger when faced with the "betrayal" of well-intentioned dissuaders.

Perhaps only by destroying their courage to commit violence against others for the rest of their lives can these people be told to stop.

"Okay, just like the story of the Kingdom of Weiyuan that my king once told you, today I will kill Shura!"

The moment Geraint took a step forward with a stern look on his face and his hands clenching the hilt of the sword, an indescribable aura suddenly rose around him.

At that moment, the noisy battlefield was completely silent.

What echoed in it was the knight's solemn declaration:

"As a Knight of the Round Table, the mode of my Geraint's Origin Stone skill is [Shaping], where I use my will to give entities to virtual images and control their shapes.

And the protection given by my king is [Heart of Horror]. I swear to defeat you with this and offer victory to my king! "

"You actually told me about your abilities directly? Have you really been on the battlefield? As a knight who abides by the rules, do you think this is a duel over wine at home~~~"

Putting aside whether the said ability is true or false, such a pre-war declaration is really too stupid in their opinion.

Naturally, Geraint's words provoked ridicule from members of the integration movement.

But the laughter soon stopped.

Everyone, including Broken Bones, felt a strange, depressing feeling spreading in their spirits.

The idiot who calls himself the Knight of the Round Table is now like a black hole; in an incomprehensible way, he shows a strong presence that steals people's minds, absorbing all the eyes and attention directed towards him.

The members of the integration movement indeed observed that some unknown gray and black clouds were being attracted from their bodies... more and more, faster and faster!

This feeling made it difficult for them to manpower any more. Using someone's already somewhat crazy scream as a signal, they poured out all the attack methods they could on Geraint.

"Do you understand now? In the integration movement, mortals tremble because of the recognition, and start to panic because they cannot overcome it... until they fall into a huge [fear] called despair. This is the beginning of [Heart of Horror]—— "

Geraint whispered, and while swinging the blade to tear and attack, he stepped forward... causing fear to expand.

The raging shadow wraps around the battlefield and engulfs the warm sunshine, making people feel cold and uneasy, further catalyzing the emotions in people's hearts.

The thinking required to cast the spell becomes confused, the heart beats more and more fiercely, driving the blood to accelerate... The hands are trembling and it is difficult to aim at the target and pick up the weapon, and the feet are weak and difficult to move forward or escape.

Fear breeds heavily in people's hearts in this hotbed, and is eventually attracted to the black hole-like knight, swallowed by him, and becomes food for transfer.

The originally silver-white armor was dyed into a monster-like jet black by the flying black particles, and the long sword in his hand was filled with a bloody red light for some reason... Every time he swung it, it left a long-lasting scarlet in the air. ,

More importantly, as time goes by; contrary to the fatigue shown by the members of the Integration Movement, the power possessed by this Knight of the Round Table is expanding. ,

Even with just a casual sword, the strength and speed far exceeded what he had at the beginning of the war, creating a destruction spell that shattered the entire area woven by the warlocks, but it still didn't stop, spreading a disaster that stretched for tens or hundreds of meters.

It was almost as if he had temporarily absorbed people's power into himself.

Then, use this expanded power to stir up greater fear in the hearts of the infected, and seize it again... to create a cycle of despair like an abyss.

"When fear grows in the hearts of those affected around us, can we use this fear to absorb our power? It's just like the long-eared monster that the woman from Frost Star said about living in the ice field...what? monster……"

Through Geraint's unabashed attitude, Shattered Bones quickly understood the working principle of the so-called [Heart of Horror] protection mentioned by the other party.

But just because you understand it doesn't mean you can deal with it.

The fear that accompanies you from the beginning of life is not something that can be overcome by overcoming it... Courage is the power that allows you to move forward and face up to fear while having it.

Courage or awareness, they go hand in hand with fear and coexist.

Therefore, like this Knight of the Round Table, by forcefully awakening the small fears that start from uneasiness in people's hearts at the beginning, and then seizing power to weaken the opponent and further catalyzing the cycle of fear... Once it is activated, if it cannot win immediately, it will snowball. In despair, until collapse.

He just wants you to know that after you realize the tragic end, in this hell that comes with the passage of time, you will scream in panic and fall into despair.

"Is that why you told us in advance?!"

Shattered Bones gritted his teeth, trying hard to support his desire to scream like his collapsed colleagues.

The fear that spread out from the monster-like knight in front of him had almost destroyed his fighting spirit. This made Broken Bones clearly realize that it was extremely difficult for him to even raise his weapon to aim, and that he had no chance of winning anymore. .

But when hatred is destroyed by fear, the remaining concept called family love is as bright as a beacon in the darkness and is difficult to give up.

When the mother was infected with mineral sickness and refused to let go when the pickets arrived, she was beaten and dragged a long blood trail on the snow; Broken Bones cherished the last family member even more...especially when Misha After being infected with ore disease and becoming his true compatriot.

He can't give up, he's not willing to give up——

The only thing that can be done now, the only thing that still has a chance... is to use the numerical advantage.

"Those who can still move their legs should step back and... go around! He is only one person and cannot take care of both sides at the same time..."

After triggering the launcher that he could no longer hold firmly, and projecting explosives with severe loss of accuracy at the Fear Knight as a means of obstruction, Broken Bones tried to order his only remaining subordinates - even though such orders had an impact on the feared captives at this moment. For them, it means more to escape than to take a detour.

But, it was enough to make Geraint laugh.

"Detour? Hahaha...are you sure I am really the only one?"

The laughter beneath the armor sounded particularly depressing and terrifying.

Immediately, the shadow under the feet of the fearful knight became deeper and darker, and boiled like a giant thing rising from the sea, with countless bubbles rising.

Under Broken Bone's eyes-breaking gaze, his right hand, also covered in armor, suddenly stretched out, pressed it to the ground, and began to exert force...
