Ark, they don't revolve around you

Long ago, she lived in fear in the slums of Londinium, fighting with others for a mouthful of bread.

The etiquette learned in the court was useless, there was only a fight between fists, and only after Glasgow was established did things finally get a little better.

At that time, if she was captured, Morgan and Indra would definitely come to rescue her, right?

Vina shook her head to get rid of the memory, but her voice was still hoarse.

I remembered what the man said.

Indra died because of you, because she was a crude fool who still believed in stories.

Morgan is stupid too, they are all fools...including her.

There was a noise somewhere, but no guard noticed it, and even Vina herself thought it was an illusion.

But the next second, the sound became clearer and she felt someone following her.

The man didn't say anything, but exhaled like a ghost or evil spirit.

The snow gradually accumulated on Vina's head, piling up more and more.

In the distance, the sky seemed to be brighter, and a hint of white could be vaguely seen.

The lights on both sides went out, and suddenly another pair of footprints appeared in the snow, as if the ghost had taken on a physical form.

A shadow fell over her.

"You... are here." Vina murmured, as if in disbelief.

"Coming." The shadow behind him responded, "Anyway, there's no rush. I'm here to see you off. Victoria's people are unreliable, so I have to do it myself."

"sorry."

"There's no need to apologize because I'm the winner."

Vina exhaled white air and couldn't help asking: "What kind of place am I going to?"

Shadow pondered for a moment and replied softly, "I heard the conditions are good, very suitable for thinking."

"So there's nothing?"

"I hate smart kids." Shadow shrugged.

"Nothing... but it suits me very well." She ignored the clever kid, smiled and whispered, "Thank you."

"Why do you say that?" Shadow tilted his head.

"Of course you should say thank you for coming to see me."

"..."

"People are responsible for their own decisions, you always tell me so." Vina stopped and looked up at the monastery.

This building built by the ascetic monk can be called a cage.

Vina turned her head one last time, looked at the faceless shadow, and bowed slightly:

"Goodbye, Demon King..."

"This is the last of us, Vina," Shadow said.

"Yes." She was still like a princess, "but I'm very happy."

"I'm glad you can come and see me one last time."

The door was closed, and she was sure that the man would not come to peek again, then she couldn't stop crying.

……

……

On the snow, the darkness of the shadow faded away little by little, revealing a person's face.

Zhuang Ning stood for a moment, quietly looking at Londinium shrouded in snow and fog.

The sky gradually brightened and the noise became louder.

After remembering everything, he exhaled white air and whispered: "Now, it's time to go to the next place..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Londinium had disappeared.

Casimir, the dawn has not yet come.

Zhuang Ning reached the top of the tall building, his eyes full of brilliance.

Neon lights flicker day and night.

He smiled. Yes, no matter what happened with Vina, Victoria was over.

It's time to see Casimir's reaction.

At the end of the field of vision, the large screen still shows the scene of knights fighting each other, and the figure standing on the screen is noble and shining.

Zhuang Ning smiled quietly: "Good morning, Grand Knight Leader."

"Good morning, Lin Guang."

……

……

The hall was like a round table, and the doors and windows of the rooms were closed, with no light.

Until a projection lights up.

The object of the projection is a bird-like creature wearing a suit and with heavy ornaments on his shoulders, symbolizing the honor he has experienced.

The President of Colombia gestured, and suddenly, the lights came on.

Projected images emerged one after another, outlining the figure.

"Long time no see, everyone."

"It's been a long time since we last met." The white queen projection sneered.

The Emperor of Ursus said in a low voice: "Incredible technology, you can actually achieve such a miracle."

"It must have been there for a long time, but it has been hidden all along." The Grand Knight of Casimir said in a subtle tone, "Colombia cannot be underestimated."

"This is just a trivial technological attempt. Communication across distance will make us more closely connected." The president smiled.

Due to natural disasters and Originium obstructions, Terra's communications have always been limited to one city.

There is a way to connect via mobile base stations, but it is not often used because it is too expensive.

Colombia was the first to break through the limitations of geographical scope and Originium, allowing leaders from as far away as Leitania, Ursus, and Casimir to gather here.

This technology is truly amazing. If it weren't for the special period, it might even have changed Terra's international situation.

If it weren't for the threat of an additional demon king, the Colombian president would never have been exposed at this time.

It turns out that nothing can unite people better than a powerful enemy.

"Victoria is gone, and their queen has been imprisoned." The president got straight to the point. "You should have received the letter as well. The devil said that the prophecy would not come in thirty days, but in seven days - the countdown in our eyes has never stopped."

"During these seven days, the Demon King will not be at peace. With the Lich Space Spell Points, he can freely cross the border. Please do not take any chances."

"I heard that Queen Victoria already had an unclear relationship with Rhodes Island, and as a result, she was the first to be targeted." The Queen of Leitania sighed.

"No one can tolerate betrayal, let alone a usurper." The Emperor of Ursus said in a deep voice, "So, Mr. President, do you have any solution?"

Everyone saw the bird-shaped president was silent for a moment and finally shook his head.

"Maybe, but not now." The president was cold and indifferent. "The reason why I am anxious to meet you is that I want everyone to discuss why the devil gave us seven days."

"Ok?"

"Do you want to see your prey struggle?" The Knight Casimir, who obviously had hunting experience, said hoarsely, "He already has the strength to crush us. There is no need for a trial. As long as there is enough time, he will destroy our cities one by one.

Perhaps he can start a second trial at any time, just to see the struggle of us ants.”

You can hear the depression in her voice.

After the destruction of Silver Spear Pegasus, she had lost her fighting spirit and became so depressed.

The other two countries, which had lost the Golden Law Guard and the Internal Guard, were also depressed.

"Based on the Demon King's past behavior, he wouldn't think that way." The President remained calm. "I have a guess, but it can't be verified yet."

"What is it?"

"It's just a guess, but if I'm right, the second trial will be far better than the first," the president murmured. "Our civilization will be overturned."

"Subversion, civilization?" The queen laughed softly, "How arrogant."

"Where is the Demon King now?" asked the Emperor of Ursus.

The president cast his gaze towards the Grand Knight of Casimir, projecting a shadow with a sympathetic look:

"It's the Grand Knight Leader."

"Grandmaster Russell, he has chosen you, the Grand Knight Leader, as his second target."

In an instant, the great knight Russell, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had wrinkles on his face, went offline.

Casimir, Conference Hall.

The Grand Knight Commander slowly opened her eyes. The sunlight shone on her face. She could hardly speak, and there was only bitterness on her face.

She waved her hand and was about to call her knight when she heard a voice.

That was a broadcast, resounding in every corner of the Grand Knight's territory.

"Good morning, Casimir."

"Next, it's time to sweat profusely..."

ps: Sorry, it’s only 6,000 words at this late hour.

The reason for the writer's block is that I originally wanted to write about Tara, Abrana and Reed in a good way, but later I found that no matter how I wrote them, they were all rubbish.

So there was no scene where Reed appeared, and Abrana was almost not portrayed at all.

Maybe my level is too low and my writing skills are not good enough, so I just chose to give it a quick glance.

Although I have forced myself to be sentimental many times before, this time it was too disgusting to read.

As we all know, many plots in Arknights are copied from reality.
