Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Ms. Cintrea, please help me remove my armor."

Claude shouted to the girl in white in the tavern. After hearing this, she immediately came to his side and began to untie the straps that secured her armor.

He took off all the armor and placed it on the wooden rack. Claude moved his shoulders. He was now wearing a black shirt. He unbuttoned the first button of the shirt. Claude turned around and invited Xinteleya: "Let's have something to eat together."

There were no strangers in the tavern at this time. It closed early today. Sister Lin Guang, Miss Zofia and the old guys who often came to the tavern drank together to celebrate. The atmosphere was also very warm and everyone was very happy.

Xinteleya happily accepted the invitation. The few days here were the most comfortable days she had spent in recent years. She only had to clean once a day, and the rest of the time was at her own disposal. She could even use this task to push off other tasks assigned by her boss. She could use this time to eat what she wanted and relax without being disturbed by anyone. Xinteleya, who had never had so much free time before, had more genuine smiles on her face.

Claude walked to the bar and naturally sat in his usual chair.

Martin looked at him and smiled, "Same old?".

"Same old as always."

A glass of beer was placed on the table. Martin looked at Xinteleya again. "Miss, what do you need? Thanks to you for taking care of my tavern these past two days, today's beer will be treated to you. Feel free to drink."

"I'll have a lemonade." Xinteleya sat next to Claude and put her hands together on her knees.

"Mr. Claude, what did you do before?" Xinteleya suddenly spoke to him.

"I used to be considered a silly boy from the country. Although my family had been knights for generations, our financial situation became increasingly poor until we were left with only a manor. After my parents passed away, I sold everything in the manor and came here to survive." Claude spoke of his identity and experience in this world.

"I've seen your competition, Mr. Claude. You're so strong. Have you been training since you were young?"

"I guess. I'm good at this."

"I'm a little curious about you, Miss Xinteleya. You obviously have signs of exercise, and it looks like very high-intensity exercise. What did you do before?"

Xinteleya panicked a little, but she didn't show any emotion on her face. She revealed her disguised identity.

"I used to be a natural disaster messenger, following my master in field surveys, so I had relatively high-intensity training. Later, I felt that the job was too hard and dangerous, so I came to Casimir to look for a new job."

"Oh, really? That job is really hard, and your work means a lot to us. You have done something meaningful."

“Hahahaha…” Sintrea laughed dryly.

"By the way, are you satisfied with your current job?"

Xinteleiya's eyes lit up. "I'm very satisfied! My previous job was much more tiring than this one, and my boss always assigned me extra tasks, the salary was low, and I had to work overtime for free. Even my life was not guaranteed, and my boss always had a half-smiley face that made me angry..." Before coming here as an undercover agent, Xinteleiya had never known that work could be like this.

Claude looked at Xintlia who was talking incessantly in a daze. He didn't expect that the place where she worked before was so bad.

"That's good. I am also very satisfied with your work. If you are willing, we can cooperate for a long time." The other party's professional level is indeed worthy of her salary.

Cinderella looked at the white and strong forearms exposed by Claude's sleeves rolled up to his elbows, holding the wine glass and bringing it to her lips, thinking that this target was really eye-catching. Just when she was about to say something, a figure wearing a heavy black dress sat down next to Claude. The other person's dazzling golden hair shone under the light.

"Claude, congratulations on your victory." Margaret raised her beer glass and said to Claude.

"Congratulations to you, too, Margaret." Claude raised his empty glass and clinked it with the other party.

"You are indeed very strong. I am looking forward to our fight. Don't let your guard down or you will be eliminated before you face me." Claude joked.

"Of course not, I will do my best." Margaret's expression was a little serious, and she obviously didn't take it as a joke. She continued, "Claude, I actually have something to ask of you."

"what's up?"

"I would like to invite you to teach my sister Maria swordsmanship. Before, my aunt and I have always taught her, but after this competition, I don't know if I can stay in Casimir, so I want to ask you for help. Your swordsmanship is very exquisite, which is honed on the battlefield. I don't know how you got this swordsmanship, but I believe in your character. You are a noble knight."

"Of course it's no problem, as long as she is willing to learn. If I teach her swordsmanship, I won't let her down. She will definitely have a hard time." Although the sword is not the most commonly used weapon on the battlefield, it is sufficient in this situation.

"Of course not. Maria is also a hard-working child."

Wow... my ears

During the conversation, there was the sound of heavy rain hitting the ground outside. The rain that had been hanging for many days finally fell.

Right

A New Beginning: Chapter 11: Strong Winds and Rough Waves

The rainstorm has been going on for a long time. It started last night and there is no sign of it stopping. The mobile city has opened up all the drainage systems, but the water on the streets is still deep enough to submerge your feet.

The weather was gloomy, and the neon lights on the street illuminated people's faces. On the roadside advertising screens, well-dressed men and women were still trying hard to promote various knight peripherals and products. The Originium Energy Car kept splashing water, causing passers-by to curse. The garbage piled up on the roadside was washed away by the rain, leaking black sewage.

Such bad weather could not stop the enthusiasm of the crowd, colorful umbrellas and raincoats crowded on the roadside, rushing towards the arena. After checking their tickets at the entrance, they entered the venue one after another, bringing a huge wave of cheers.

Margaret wore a transparent raincoat, covered her white armor, and put her weapons in a waterproof bag. She entered the venue through the contestant channel.

Four large screens arranged in a circle above the arena were broadcasting event information, and the host was using highly guiding language to guide the audience's emotions and heat up the atmosphere of the event.

Margaret sat on a bench in the waiting area, her hands folded on the hammer handle, quietly waiting with her eyes closed, rain dripping from her raincoat to the ground.

"Let us welcome the powerful knight Margaret Lin Guang!!!"

Margaret stood up and walked out of the waiting area.

“Wow!!!! Whoosh!!!!!!!!!”

The audience cheered for her majestic and beautiful figure.

"Her opponent is... the powerful Knight of Withering and Corruption!!!"

There was an uproar, no one expected that Lin Guang would have two opponents.

Some audience members felt that something was wrong and were about to protest, but another group of audience members cheered loudly, drowning out their voices.

Margaret calmly looked at the knight opposite her who was emitting an ominous aura. There were traces of drug transformation on his body, but it was not profound, as if it was just the beginning. It was like a half-finished product that was used in a hurry.

This is certainly unfair, but Margaret already knew what she was up against and was aware of it.

"The family motto is: Don't be afraid of hardship and darkness!"

Suddenly, a sun rose in the arena, dispelling all the rain and clouds.

A streak of light flashed by with a dazzling brilliance. The astonishing speed stunned the opponent.

They were not experienced knights, but were just specially modified, relying on their stronger bodies than ordinary people and the Sarkaz's innate powerful Originium skills. Facing such a powerful attack, they hurriedly prepared to respond, but how could they resist it in such a hurry?

Before they could use their powerful Originium skills, the golden hammer hit the chest of the Heavy Corruption Knight hard, even denting the breastplate. Before they could even use a counterattack, they lost their combat effectiveness.

The golden light, like a landslide or tsunami, covered the Withered Knight. His ominous black power quickly melted away like dirty snow under the sun, and was then swallowed up by the golden power.

The heavy hammer hit the grass heavily. Margaret Linguang looked up at the audience in the arena and those who were observing in secret. Her heroic and awe-inspiring figure shocked everyone, and no one dared to make a sound for a moment.

The spokesman in the box had a gloomy face. He knew that he had messed up and that what was going to happen to him would definitely not be a good outcome. But he still took out the terminal and made a call.

The host didn't say a word at first, but he soon realized his mistake and forced himself to start explaining.

"Unexpectedly, Margaret Linguang defeated her opponent easily and won a complete victory!!"

"Successfully entered the finals!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The swords collided and separated at the first touch. One of the long swords flexibly drew an arc, bypassing the opponent's shield, which was stiff and blocked by the sword blade being pushed away, and slashed at the opponent's shoulder armor.

"The shield in your hand is not for you to stand still and get hit, but to create conditions for you to attack. Your steps should become more flexible, and you should not stand there stupidly."

Claude swung his sword and dodged calmly, his footsteps slightly moving to avoid the dull blade of the training sword by a millimeter. He kept talking about various techniques and key points.

Maria's golden hair was wet with sweat, and her breathing was a little rapid. Claude took two steps back and put away his training sword.

"Okay, take a break and drink some water."

Maria let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked towards Claude. She sat on a chair in the garden, watching the heavy rain pouring down outside, and took the warm salt water that Claude handed over.

"Master Claude, what do you think a knight is? My sister and uncle often talk about the spirit of chivalry, but I never understand."

"I can't give you a definite answer. Everyone has a different answer to this question. If you really want me to explain it, I can only tell you that in my opinion, knights represent war and protection." Claude looked up at the sky, as if he was looking at something that had left him.

"War?!!!" Maria looked very surprised. This seemed far from what she usually heard.

"Yes, in my opinion, we are prepared for war. We become knights for war, for fighting, for honor, and to protect what we cherish."

"No matter what we say, at the end of the day we are born for war."

"And it seems to me, Maria, that you do not want to be a knight?"

Maria was a little surprised. "Yes, Master Claude, how did you figure that out?"

"You don't like these. I can see that you like other things in your heart. These are not what you are really good at."

"I prefer machines to swords, but I know that the power of a sword is essential if I want to protect others."

"That's right. In this dangerous land, these are things that must be mastered, whether for the sake of others or for yourself... Okay, now that we've rested enough, let's continue."

"Okay, Master Claude!"

High up on the floor, a middle-aged man was looking at them with an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Sofia, a petite girl with a sweet look, came up from behind him.

"Maenna, how are they doing?"

"Hmph, it's just an act that is doomed to fail." Mainna's words were as negative as ever.

"Maybe, but I still admire them. At least they dare to do this." Zofia also looked at the two people in the courtyard.

"Looking at these people always reminds me of you and your brother. They are so similar to you in the past. The first time you went out, you severely taught a little noble who did wrong a lesson. You and your brother were our pride and the most dazzling existence at that time."

"Don't talk about those meaningless nonsense anymore." Ma Enna interrupted her coldly. Then she turned around and walked upstairs, answering the phone while walking and starting her endless social activities.

Sofia was not angry when her speech was interrupted. Instead, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the spacious conference room, several figures were having a heated conversation. It would be better to call it an argument than a conversation. Their attitudes were very intense and they were gesticulating fiercely with their hands.

"I've already said no! Those two infected have just started their transformation and are still semi-finished products. How can they be a match for the top knights?"

"I would say they should just block traffic and make them late, and then kick them out."

"How can they block traffic? They run much faster than the Originium Car. They can easily reach the arena on foot before we can react."

"Why not just find an excuse to disqualify them from the competition and talk about it later."

"The CSRC is putting pressure on us. Now it is no longer up to us to kick them out."

"They have already threatened our authority. I propose to use the final method."

"I disagree. This approach brings too much uncertainty. We cannot be sure what the final consequences will be."

"I agree. Let the Wu Zhou Alliance do it. Afterwards, we can just find some low-level members and kick them out. Let them be scapegoats. The other party won't dare to break up with us."

…………………………In the shadows, the two major forces of Casimir have begun their struggle.

The heavy rain still did not stop, as if it was going to cover the city under water. Claude's armor was covered with a transparent plastic raincoat, which added a touch of modern fashion to him. He had just returned from teaching and was rushing to his residence.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the conspicuous golden light coming out of the arena. He knew that things were not beyond his expectations, and his mood became better.

I walked into the bar and hung my raincoat on the hanger at the door. The warm and dry air of the bar hit me. Miss Sintreya, who I had become familiar with over the past two days, was wiping the tables and chairs in the bar. I greeted her, then sat at the bar and ordered my favorite creamy meat soup. Koval sat next to him. In the heavy rain, he was the only customer in the store.

"Did you just finish training that little girl?"

"That's right. Today we just learned the basics and haven't officially started training yet."

Claude chatted while waiting for his food to be delivered. In the pouring rain, the bar seemed particularly warm and cozy, making him feel relaxed.

PS: To avoid disputes, some changes have been made.

A New Beginning: Chapter 12: Under the Disaster

This world is not safe. He knew from the beginning that this world is full of various disasters. The most terrible and the most powerless to resist is natural disasters. Natural disasters are a general term for various devastating disasters that occur in this world. It does not refer to a specific disaster. There are various forms, such as volcanic eruptions, meteor showers, a huge storm, a rainstorm or a sandstorm. The only thing they have in common is that they will leave a lot of raw stone mines after the natural disaster.

Claude had never thought that he would encounter a natural disaster so soon. In his new life, he had never seen a natural disaster before. After all, if he had seen a natural disaster while living outside the mobile city, he would not have been able to survive until now.

A huge and sharp alarm sounded throughout the city. The Great Knight Territory of Casimir was formed by the merger of four mobile cities, so it was very large. This also meant that when it faced natural disasters, it would often evade them much slower than other mobile cities.

Fortunately, the alarm was only triggered by a small natural disaster, which would not have a big impact on the city. The continuous heavy rain and the sudden strong wind combined to create a terrible storm that swept the entire city. Various huge engineering machinery on the street were opening an emergency drainage channel. The conventional channels in the city were not enough to drain all the accumulated water. Fortunately, this city had taken this into consideration when it was first established.

Although this natural disaster will not have any impact on the city, it is not certain for the people in the city. Claude is now holding tools in his hands, and is reinforcing outside with Martin and other guys. He is holding a steel cable firmly in his hand, one end of which is at a corner of the house, and the other end needs to be firmly fixed into the ground with an alloy mechanical nail.

"Brother Claude, you must hold on tight!"
