Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

No one would mind if their future "self" has flaws of one kind or another due to a moment of laziness.

"Koscich, that guy wants to start a war by crashing Chernobog into the gantry to induce the gantry [to attack Ursus territory]... Yes, I admit that I actually want to do that... I'm sorry, Mom, but I really hate Governor Longmen... But don't worry, because it's all over... That man came to save me...

It's like the story in the picture book you told me when you were a child; in the roaring storm, the prince in silver armor sang songs all the way... fearlessly moving forward in the face of death and fire... It's awesome, right?

I guess that’s how mom met dad back then, right?That must be the case.The prince from Victoria, the princess from Dayan...

But I believe that the encounter between my mother and my father was indeed a happy one, but what I met was the best... Mr. Ozwald will be more powerful and brave than my father. That's what I firmly believe... And I think, As long as I think so, you will definitely think so too...if...if you can answer me..."

The slender fingertips continued to rub the cold stone, and Tallu La's face showed a complex expression that seemed to be crying and laughing.

In this lonely cemetery that is difficult to reach even with the cries of birds, the white-haired Drake seemed to want to pour out all the waves rolling in his chest with such garrulous words.

And it was in this child's coquettish babble to her mother that she could never get an answer that her spirit gradually relaxed.

The tough ropes wrapped in circles like a spider web suddenly turned into smooth silk, and then fell off and loosened.

"Mother....

As time passed, Tallulah narrowed her eyes as the warmth of the morning sun gradually spread in the air.

My vision became hazy at some point.

The tears that I thought had dried up long ago could not be stopped for a moment.

She lost her kind grandfather in the village, and when she watched the old man who made her experience the warmth of home for the second time stop breathing in front of her, with flames dripping down at her feet, she told herself that she could never shed tears again.

When the little deer who had been striving to be honest lay quietly in the cold snow and stopped breathing on her back, she thought the same thing... From that moment on, the fighter with obsession gradually fell into despair. Into the abyss.

However, now the tears are streaming down my face.Even though I had the illusion that all the suffering and pain I had experienced in the past was melting and pouring out of my eyes... it was like mumbling in my mouth and I couldn't stop it.

Tallulah sobbed and called, even her face was blurred, but she still remembered the warm, gentle mother who would hug her as if it was imprinted in her soul.

Over and over again, as if there is no way back.

"I'm leaving, Mom."

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

This time;

Led by the immortal evil god hiding in the shadows, the conspiracy intends to collide the cities of Great Flame and Ursus to trigger conflict... Everything is like Chernobog, a city that was once prosperous but is now almost The curtain came to an end like a deserted moving city.

Of course, even if the Black Snake is the immortal evil god of Ursus, the power and resources of Grand Duke Cosiche alone still cannot trigger such a big event, so he persuaded many people who had the same purpose. , long before he was alive.

Grand Duke Baikal, Deputy Division Commander of the Third Army and Governor of Rosin, Viscount of Kerk... and even some internal guards.

This was unacceptable to Fyodor, the current emperor of Ursus.

[If even the "Emperor's Blade" has other thoughts, then who is the master? 】

But what was even more difficult for the emperor to accept was that these collaborators of Cosiche died at home by hanging themselves without waiting for a public trial, and committed suicide in fear of guilt before being executed.

This made Emperor Feodor furious. He angrily rebuked these masterminds for not having the courage to face a public trial. He roared that their bones would be hung from the rafters until they stunk, and no one would be allowed to remove their rotting remains... …This is already a very merciful approach.

If it were the late emperor who came here, these traitors who had touched the emperor's authority would be fed to the scorpions along with their families; they would have to be killed until their heads were rolling in their heads.

After all, if they succeed, Ursus will be dragged into the war again; what will follow is the seizure of power, weakening the power of the Parliament... and then more emptiness that belongs to the emperor and belongs to Ursus city ​​of.

However, how to deal with the two ministers who followed the tide in this incident and exposed only their scaly claws is a matter that Emperor Feodor should have a headache and worry about; it is not the turn of just "the leader of the knights" for the time being. Ozwald to worry about - at least this is not the key issue to be considered at the moment.

After two months of rest and adjustment, it was almost time for the Knights of the Round Table to set out again.

Of course, compared with the size of a large land cruiser that could hold hundreds of people, today's team can be said to have grown to a somewhat exaggerated level - in the past, Chernobog was mainly used, plus the "tail section" abandoned by Governor Longmen "Partially, coupled with the idleness of Ling Ling Zongzong who heard the news...the number has approached fifty thousand.

It can be said that if the Red Dragon had not had the foresight to appropriate the abandoned city blocks that were used to transport teams and divert attention when the Integration Movement invaded Longmen, then the placement and transfer of these people would have become a huge problem.

After all, even if Governor Longmen was willing to generously donate an agricultural base to house the "waste" in the contract for the sake of his late sworn brother, Ozwald was not willing to accept his favor at all.

"We are about to set off. Remember to have someone check the fuel and power module parts again. Don't cause problems when it starts up. I don't want anyone to see the joke."

Randomly choosing an office that had been temporarily transformed into an intact noble mansion, Ozwald gave instructions to the knights beside him.

"Please rest assured about this, Wang; I personally took people to inspect it yesterday and replaced some pipelines that may have hidden dangers." "

After hearing Ozwald's words, Geraint answered confidently.

Even if you can't promise that there will be absolutely no problems, you can basically avoid situations that shouldn't happen.

But there is one thing that Geraint must report to Ozwald.

"My king, this morning, I saw Tallulah Temple leaving the foundation alone. It seemed that he was going to Longmen to deal with some matters, but he has not returned yet. I wonder...?"

"In that case, let's wait for a while."

Ozwald nodded.

Although it surprised Ozward that Tallulah went to Longmen alone without saying hello to him, to put it bluntly, that was all.

Tallulah Atrias is an independent person with her own thoughts and consciousness; as long as she is not stupid and goes to assassinate Wei Yanwu with a dragon or something...she is free to do whatever she wants.

"If it doesn't work, just postpone the departure for a few days. It's okay to wait until Tallulah's affairs are settled before setting off. We won't rush for a day or two -"

"No, sir. I'm back."

While he was talking, the dragon girl's voice came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door handle was turned, and then Tallulah opened the door and walked in with an apologetic look.

Seeing Tallulah, Geraint put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the former saying "His Royal Highness".

At the same time, Ozwald looked over as a matter of course, and then raised his brows slightly.

Even though Tallulah had tidied up her appearance very well, Ozwald still noticed her emotional fluctuations from the slightly red corners of her eyes.

But Ozwald didn't think anything bad had happened.

Because corresponding to the tears in the corners of Tallulah's eyes, it was the sadness that had been lingering in her brows that finally showed some signs of easing.

"Did he go to see her sister? Or someone else? Wei Yanwu is unlikely, but Wen Yue? Hmm..."

Just when the red dragon was speculating about the purpose of Tallulah's trip, the latter apologized for being late.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm causing trouble for everyone."

"It doesn't matter, just like I said just now." Ozwald waved his hand to Tallulah: "We won't rush for a day or two; in fact, if we set off so late, we said Otherwise, you can still get stuck in Kavaleriaki on the same day as the immigration clearance is passed.”

"So we're going to Casimir?"

When she heard the name of the destination, Tallulah, who had never asked intentionally, asked curiously, with a trace of expectation in her eyes.

After all, it is the country of knights that people on Terra know. It has always been fighting against Ursus, whom she does not like, and resists the invasion of giant bears with the heroic and fearless team of Silver Spear Pegasus knights; together with her hero Ozawa It can be said that Germany made her fortune and grew up there, which somewhat gave Tallulah some beautiful yearning for the place.

"What kind of country is it there? Sir."

"Because there is no relationship with [the former emperor], it is still much better than Ursus."

Of course, Ozwald could see that Tallulah seemed to have a tendency to love the house and the sex, but he did not reveal this intention and carefully chose the words to make a more conservative comment.

The reason why he went to Casimir was, on the one hand, to seek a period of smooth development, and on the other hand, because when Red Dragon had no fixed place in his early years, he received a lot of help from the Linguang family and worked with Snitz. Even Cyril can be said to have a good relationship... But now the Linguang family's situation is a bit bad, so considering the past situation, they have to help.

Of course, the location of Casimir very close to Victoria is also an important reason.

Even if Oswald has no interest in the chair at Londinium, Victoria and Drake are inextricably linked after all; not to mention that Victoria's regent is now Tracy, even if he goes alone In order to observe trends and respond promptly, it is more or less necessary to stay closer.

Otherwise, if you continue to stay at the border of Yanwu, if there is any big move against Drac on the Londinim side, it will be too late to prepare for the news after two or three months.

"But having said that, Tallulah, it seems that I haven't seen your sword for several days..."

After briefly telling Tallulah his next plan, Ozwald looked at the dragon girl in front of him.After a little hesitation, I decided to ask this question.

"Did something happen? Do you need my help?"

"Please rest assured, sir. My sword was not stolen or damaged, so you don't have to worry about me."

Standing in the light and shadow coming from the window, Tallulah had a brisk smile on her face:

"I just buried it (her) in the ruins of Chernobog."

That's right, taking this weapon taught and given by Koscich, along with my past.

ps: Woo hoo hoo, Brother Mizuki passed away.The sky of the machine war collapsed; originally, I wanted to wait until Gulian Taisha's new project to listen to the JAM with all the members present, but the result was that the big brother was gone... ugh, oh, oh, oh... eldest brother, my eldest brother! ! !

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Knights Major: 1 The second young master of the Linguang family returns to his loyal Casimir (forced truth)

*Kavaleliaki, somewhere in an overgrown garden——

"That's it for today's long-term training, Maria."

Looking at the little Pegasus in front of her who could still hold the sword, but her calves could not stop shaking, Zofia Linguang closed her long whip and called to stop the training.

Of course, she didn't forget to tell the little princess of the Linguang family not to make some low-level mistakes that she shouldn't have made due to inexperience and negligence.

"Don't lie down immediately after exercising. No matter how difficult it is, keep walking for two steps."

Training like this has been going on for nearly four weeks.

The intensity of each day will be better than the day before. Even Zofia, as an instructor, feels a bit like a supermodel, and she has some plans to let Maria give up.

But such endurance training is necessary.

As one of the most prestigious special tournaments in Casimir, the country of knights, or it can be said to be one of the most interesting competition formats in knight competition - [Team Melee]

Each knight group participating in the major tournament will send a representative, and then on a huge arena with a number of people ranging from ten to dozens of people, points will be determined based on the number of hits on the armor of his group's players and converted into competition points. .

This is going to be a long battle.

The most frequent melee in the history of the regular season lasted for a whole day and night due to the fanaticism of the audience and repeated overtime attempts by major companies. The knights were like fighting animals being driven into a cage. Even after being knocked down, they had to stand up again and pick up their weapons again to fight each other.

And considering the halo blessing brought by Maria's surname, there is no guarantee that there will not be any "unexpected accidents" that will cause the situation to happen again, so it is still necessary to do a good job at least for a day and a night without being exhausted to the point of losing it. Preparation for combat effectiveness.

After all, for the fledgling Maria Linguang, team melee is the place where she can accumulate enough points as quickly as possible to allow her to participate in this major tournament.

"Fortunately, Casimir won't hold any large-scale competitions in the near future, so there is plenty of time for Maria to get ready." Zofia sighed to the little Pegasus, no matter how many times she would feel lucky.

The reason for this "surplus" is the Chernobog incident that occurred at the Yanwu border from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

Although the details of the secret are difficult to ascertain, Casimir's spy in Ursus still clearly collected the general information about this incident... Strictly speaking, this is not an obscure secret. After all, several A big noble and the entire Ursus Third Army were punished by the emperor. An action of this scale could not be concealed at all.

Of course; this attempt by factions within Ursus to start another war and regain power is enough to attract great attention for Casimir, who has a deadly relationship with Ursus - -Although Dayan seems to have finished the discussion and doesn't intend to go into details, is there a chance that Ursus will suddenly change his stance?

Therefore, almost in February when the news was received, the lighter entertainment activities were suspended. In order to cope with the possibility of Ursus invading the border again, they were on alert to call on the domestic knights to mobilize the army at any time.

But in addition to Casimir’s official alertness, there is another important reason that has affected recent knight competitions.

That is the city opposite Ursus in the Chernobog incident, Dragon Gate of the Flame Kingdom.

As the leading international trade city on the mainland, Longmen has naturally attracted a large amount of investment and trade activities from various countries.

But as we all know, economic trade and the stability of the local environment are often inextricably linked.

And when Chernobog almost crashed into the Dragon Gate, and even almost triggered a war between Yan and Ukraine; the huge sense of turmoil and potential risks of war caused by this impact caused the Dragon Gate Coin to appear to a certain extent. of depreciation.

After all, honestly speaking, if Longmen, as the issuer of Longmen Coins, is destroyed, then this so-called Longmen Coin... is at best a worthless waste paper that even wiping one's butt feels uncomfortable.

Therefore, the economic impact of the Chernobog incident is far greater than many people imagined.

It can be said that except for isolated rural hills like Kjelag, basically all countries in the continent will be affected to a greater or lesser extent, even countries like Victoria with a gold standard currency.

Casimir is no exception.

Many people who have invested in Longmen have suffered losses including but not limited to: branches being looted or even destroyed by infected thugs, capital injection stock values ​​plummeting, trade contracts unable to be honored...

In this case, even if the level is as large as the Business Federation, and they can grit their teeth and accept the losses so far, they still have to pay more attention to see how Longmen develops next, and whether they need to stop losses in time.

Based on the above, one official and one negotiation... have resulted in the cancellation of many events that were organized by the federation in the past. Even whether this year's major tournament can be held as scheduled is still unknown.

Anyway, Zofia hopes to postpone it.

The longer it was delayed, the more time Maria had to prepare.

Physical fitness, skills, weapons and armor...the more prepared you are, the better.

Zofia is also willing to do her little bit for the little Pegasus who is trying hard to protect the honor of the Linguang family and help her get on the field in the best possible condition.

But Maria Linguang could have had better choices besides her.

"Did that guy say anything? I know that guy came back to the house today... At this point, I no longer expect that wimp to do anything practical to help, at least to say goodbye to my niece who is about to participate in the Major Championship. There should always be blessings, right?”

"...Huh? You ask Uncle Maena..."

Hearing Zofia's inquiry, Maria was stunned for a moment when she was trying to distract herself from the soreness in her legs and feet with what she wanted to eat tonight, but then she showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Because she didn't know how to answer Zofia's question.
