Platinum has begun to suspect that she may be suffering from neurasthenia.

If the Brass Ghost is real, and it is indeed this exaggeratedly large "knight," then she might become "Platinum Sauce," and the Unarmored Alliance wouldn't be able to protect her even if they wanted to.

Aside from his exaggerated physique and attire, there was nothing strange about this person, and the connection between him and the brass ghost seemed far-fetched.

"I feel like I've been dragged into a terrible conspiracy..."

"Let's just find a chance to run away."

However, opportunities to escape are not readily available, and the Wuzhou Alliance is clearly not a place where one can come and go as one pleases.

Platinum murmured as she and her subordinates disappeared into the shadows, though Lodin had seen it all.

Chapter 81: What you choose is your life.

After the Infected Knights Act was passed, the Infected in Kazimierz were allowed to participate in knightly competitions, and their status was even lower than that of the most obscure independent knights.

These infected gladiators weren't even performers. In the arena of the gladiators' matches, they were merely tools for the amusement of Kazimierz's bloodthirsty spectators. They were beasts in the arena, no different from the pincers used in the gladiators' matches.

A gladiator wielding a one-handed axe is fighting an infected lone knight whose armor is badly damaged and in extremely poor condition.

The gladiator knights wielding one-handed axes disregarded the rules and brutally slashed at their opponents' vital points.

He has been convicted of fouls several times for his brutality, and has avoided the jury's punishment several times by contributing corporate funds. He is the youngest son of the ancient knightly family of Ingra, and the ruthless "fighter" Olmer Ingra, who becomes more and more courageous in battle.

In Olmer's eyes, these infected knights were like gladiators in a gladiatorial arena, and he didn't need to consider the consequences when he committed violence against them.

Do not believe?

The cheering audience is the best proof that only the most bizarre battles can make their increasingly numb hearts feel a new thrill.

As for whether the infected knight lives or dies, no one cares. Even if someone does care, it's only because some unlucky guy made a mistake and placed the wrong bet, and is worried about losing a month's salary, so he's awkwardly cheering for this poor infected knight.

Only the infected, huddled together in front of the dilapidated television, passionately cursed the National Assembly and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as those still-corrupt aristocratic lords.

A cruel glint flashed in Olmer's eyes. If the consequences could be settled with money, then it was just a matter of spending money.

The broadcast of this match wasn't even cut off; such sensational footage could bring the media the traffic they craved, the more controversial the better.

"Isn't this still treating our fellow countrymen like animals, torturing and killing them for pleasure?"

Laurentina glanced at the screen outside the arena. Clearly, this was not an equal fight; it was more like a scene of nobles going on a hunting trip, with the prey being a two-legged beast suffering from Oripathy.

"The National Assembly has long ceased to speak out for the laws of Kasimir."

"The Business Federation has betrayed the history of the Qazimirs themselves."

“Those who hold the title of knight have abandoned their duties.”

"Then I will tear off their fig leaf."

Even before his transmigration, Lotin disliked the distorted social atmosphere of modern Kazimierz.

It is not about making the Kazimierz people dwell on the past, but about reminding them not to forget their roots and origins as they move forward.

【Nautilus, the Knight of Light】, from history to legend, from legend to rumors among merchants, is just one of many histories abandoned and forgotten in Kazimierz.

The tourists, guides, and ticket scalpers crowding the arena entrance made way for Lotin's arrival.

His unusually large size made people think it was some kind of trendy cosplay, but the majestic aura emanating from this giant knight made it impossible for everyone present not to take him seriously.

"Hello, would you like to make a reservation or buy tickets on-site?"

The ticket seller forced himself to remain calm, facing the approaching giant knight with a highly professional demeanor.

Lotin did not answer, but walked past the ticket booth and headed straight for the main entrance of the arena.

Security personnel stepped forward to stop them, with stun batons and shortbows already prepared. At that moment, Laurentina used Originium Arts to gather a flash of light on her staff. The terrifying light had an effect similar to a flashbang or stun grenade, temporarily incapacitating the security personnel.

The Unarmored Alliance, who were lying in ambush on the upper level of the arena, were also thrown into disarray by the sudden powerful flash, causing them to miss the first opportunity to snipe.

The walls of the arena were shattered by giant hammers and swords, sending debris flying that struck the rusty knight Olmer.

"How is this going?"

The popular commentator "Big Mouth Mob" was still trying to come up with all sorts of smooth excuses for the bloody match scene, but then the broken walls and the sudden appearance of a huge—Knight?

"Security, security!"

"Big Mouth Mob" tried to call for security, which was a wise move, but the security guards couldn't get in anytime soon, and even if they did get into the arena, it wouldn't change anything.

"Where did these terrorists come from, so arrogant as to openly disrupt the knightly arena?"

In the smoke from the collapsing wall, Olmer could not make out the figure of the uninvited guest.

"The Corrosion Knight Olmer Ingra".

"You dare call yourself a knight?"

A giant knight, over 4 meters tall, emerged from the smoke, his enchanted armor, gleaming in gold and silver, shining brightly even under the complex lights of the arena.

This is the arena for the Knights Tournament, and it's also the place where the most Kazimierz people are watching.

He will break the shortbows and daggers of the Unarmored Alliance here.

Since [Heart Steel] hasn't started charging, this Bronze Rust Knight is most likely just a large wild monster.

In the midst of shame and fear, the anger stemming from the shame ultimately prevailed.

Crimson Originium Arts wrapped around his hand axe, which he swung down at an angle that was difficult for his opponent to avoid.

The moment the shield activated, the giant's enormous hammer and axe slammed down with an eerie speed.

Using the W skill to refresh basic attacks is a technique that Lothing uses quite often.

The energy injected by the passive skill [Overwhelming Force] has been transformed into a dazzling radiance of holy light, while the rooting effect remains. Since Lothar's ability power is approaching 300, the magic damage added by the passive skill and W skill is also quite substantial.

An excruciating burning pain instantly spread throughout Olmer's body. In the original Arknights game, his magic resistance was only "D", so his body was quickly burned away.

"Stop right there! Knights' arena is not a battlefield for killing!"

Spokesperson McKee mustered his courage, walked to the commentary booth, picked up the microphone, and called out to Loting.

He couldn't help but connect the giant knight before him with the brass ghost mentioned by his father, the chairman of Rose Newspapers.

"What then is the opponent killed by this Bronze-Rusted Knight?"

Why did his trials, repeated one after another, all end inconclusively?

Loting retorted dismissively, his attention actually focused on the Unarmored Alliance lying in ambush on the upper level of the circular arena.

"He chose this path himself, so he should bear the risks."

"What he chose is his life."

On a terminal, a business association director remotely answered Lottin's question, but in Lottin's view, it didn't count as an answer at all.

He seemed to believe that Lotin would soon be perfectly dealt with by their assassins.

'I will ignite your dreams.'

Luo Ting could easily indulge in simple verbal abuse and enjoy it to the fullest, but unfortunately he didn't want to waste any more breath.

"Very well, let your henchmen come forward!"

Chapter 82: The Titans' annihilation plan was agreed upon by the Unarmored Alliance.

"We're still responsible for security at the Major, but your report doesn't seem to satisfy the bigwigs at the federation, Pegasus."

"The salary the board pays you isn't high enough for you to squander like this, is it?"

"Blue Gold" Roy brought "Platinum" Hinterlea some rather bad news: her report clearly hadn't managed to fool the Federation.

"If that person is really just a foreign tourist dressed in strange clothes, you should go and rule out that possibility yourself."

The fact that the opponent made one of the "Platinum" members of the Unarmored Alliance hesitate to fight is certainly a highly suspicious point.

"Your original mission was to suppress those unruly infected knights, but you failed. That's why I'm giving you this easy and pleasant task."

Platinum, of course, hadn't forgotten this incident. Before she received this absurd mission, she was tasked with suppressing the unruly Infected Knights during the Major's qualifying rounds.

After all, in the eyes of the gentry of the business federation, the only use of these infected people was to work themselves to death or become gladiators in the arena.

As Platinum watched her somewhat frivolous boss leave, she knew she had to take this step. She could only hope that he was just an ordinary, oddly dressed Iberian tourist.

Unfortunately, the opponent was now standing right in front of them, and after killing a gladiator knight, directly provoked the Unarmored Alliance.

Melting a skilled gladiator knight was accomplished with a single strike, not from the impact of a hammer and axe, but from some extremely dangerous Originium Arts.

Silver-white Originium Arts swirled along the arrowhead. Pegasus's vision had locked onto the tall knight. Was the opponent an innocent tourist sacrificed by the Commerce Federation, or a truly dangerous and suspicious individual? The answer lay in this single arrow.

An absurd mission, an absurd objective, an absurd assassination.

Before she could draw her bow and shoot, another obsidian-colored flash streaked past.

A burst of golden light erupted, and a silver shield surrounded Lottin. With his health exceeding 3500 points, Lottin's shield became even more resilient.

The arrow was broken, and the Originium Arts, whose output was blocked, instead shattered the arrow itself into dust. Two of the four surrounding shields were destroyed, but that was all.

The shield provided by W skill has not been completely broken yet.

In the original story, the previous champion of the Knights' Tournament, the "Black Knight," also broke the Xuan Tie Heavy Arrow several times, but the result was only a minor shoulder injury.

"The heavy arrow made of black iron, it seems to belong to that person."

Based on his understanding of the plot, Luo Ting deduced that this Xuan Tie was the one among the three Xuan Tie Grandmasters who used the heavy arrow.

Logically speaking, this Xuan Tie should be the one who has ulterior motives towards the Business Federation.

The hammer and axe flashed, rapidly pulling the iron chain. Although the maximum distance was slightly shorter than the default skin, the hooking speed was much faster. The tall knight was flying towards the ambush site of Xuan Tie with agility that defied instinct.

In the face of the passive effect of the [Light Knight] skin, relying on illusions and optical means to conceal oneself is meaningless.

As Lotin's chains tightened, Laurentina leaped off his shoulder and raced along the chains. Finally, she took a leap, and her staff and dagger collided. Even though Laurentina's strength was not as great as Skadi's, the Deepsea Hunter's monstrous strength still managed to repel her.

Skadi knocked out the security guards who rushed to the scene on the ground, and these guards still don't know what happened.

Lothing swung his hammer and axe, sweeping away all the incoming arrows. While the shield was active, Nautilus's hammer and axe still radiated a scorching light. The audience only felt a violent tremor, while the rest of the Unarmored Assassins were shaken to pieces.

Those who were closer were either burned to death on the spot or severely burned.

When Platinum was asked to confront the giant knight, she wondered how much longer she could be used by the Undead Alliance.

Platinum fired the arrow she had been preparing into the air—she was done.

Although most of the escaped members of the Unarmored Alliance met with bad ends, at least they still had a chance to survive. Even though her master was purged by one of the Xuan Tie Grandmasters simply because he wanted to retire.

The longbow used by this Xuan Tie was edged with a sharp blade, which, together with his dagger, formed a fierce slash. Laurentina then gave up on close combat with him and instead activated her Originium Arts to unleash a dazzling flash.

Xuan Tie's protective gear and equipment were quite excellent, so Laurentina's flash did not cause any physical damage; it simply blocked the opponent's vision.

The hammer and axe swung down, and the shield disappeared because the duration of the W skill had ended.

The stacks of [Heart of Steel] have accumulated, and even without the additional magic damage bonus from the W skill, the attack effects from the passive [Overwhelming Force] and [Heart of Steel] are enough to severely damage Xuan Tie's body.

When Lotin had just over 100 spell power, he was able to injure Lungmen Shadow Guard's dominant hand by relying on his passive ability and the dual attack effects of [Heart of Steel]. Now, his spell power has doubled.

"Crack!"

The dagger shattered instantly, the bowstring snapped in a flash, and the black iron slammed heavily against the wall behind it.

His hands were burned, emitting thick, scalding smoke.

"A knight seeking fame and fortune, no, are you perhaps the Brass Ghost?"

Xuan Tie uttered the only sentence he ever spoke to Luo Ting. His position did indeed grant him access to more detailed information than Bai Jin's. The board members of the Business Federation generally believed that the "Bronze Ghost" truly existed, but some of the accounts were suspected of being exaggerated.

After reading the report sent back by Platinum, he already had a rough estimate in mind.

Luo Ting wasn't too surprised by this, after all, there was a precedent where Wei Yanwu guessed that he and [Shan Hai Hui Juan Nautilus] were actually the same person just by looking at his default skin.

"The Unarmored Alliance has finally become the very thing you hate the most."

Luo Ting only responded with one sentence: "To kill him, and to destroy his spirit."

If Luo Ting remembers correctly, this Heavy Arrow Black Iron is the founder of the Unarmored Alliance, and he is also somewhat dissatisfied with the current state of the Unarmored Alliance.

As the Business Federation assigned more and more tasks to the Unarmored Alliance, they also underwent several expansions, and the transformation from outlaws to notorious secret assassins occurred in this process.

They were no different from those knights who got lost in the bright lights and revelry.

Even the Heavy Arrow Xuan Tie himself believes that most of the current members of the Unarmored Alliance are defective.

The giant knight grabbed his head, carried him in his hand, and returned to the center of the arena.
