Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

After saying this, the woman who suddenly appeared walked towards Chloë on her own, completely ignoring the soldiers around her. The soldiers immediately surrounded her, and pointed their sharp crossbows at her head, waiting for Claude's order to shoot her to death.

But she didn't care at all, just like those heavy crossbow arrows that could easily penetrate armor didn't exist, she only had her target in mind. It wasn't until the sound of the sword blade rubbing against the scabbard sounded behind her that she suddenly seemed to sense something, and turned her head to look at Claude with a vigilant look.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute Mr. Claude! I know her."

At this critical moment, Grani stopped Claude, then stepped forward and stood opposite the woman.

Grani was very surprised at this time: "Skadi, why are you here? Did you accept the same mission as me?"

The silver-haired woman called Skadi frowned, but still faced Grani and said her second sentence.

"Give me the chief of this Dishui Village, now!"

"No, I will never hand her over to you. She has very important things to do. I will never hand her over to you."

But Grani did not hesitate in her answer. She looked Skadi in the eyes with a firm look, waiting for a reasonable answer from the other party.

But Skadi's expression was very interesting. She did not explain her reasons, and her brows were furrowed, as if she felt it was troublesome to explain. After a long time, she saw that the other party was really unwilling to give in, so she sighed, stretched out her hand to hold the hilt behind her, and seemed to have decided to start snatching directly.

The heavy sword was as light as a piece of paper in her hand, but she slashed into the ground easily, causing a huge noise and filling the sky with dust... Yes, not stabbing, but using the sword body to directly cut into the ground mixed with countless stones, leaving only the hilt outside, using one hand.

"This is a warning. Leave her to me."

She was still so frugal with her words, but now everyone knew how strong she was, and the soldiers' formation became tighter. The soldiers in the front row raised their shields, and the crossbowmen in the back also switched to more powerful armor-piercing crossbows and explosive crossbows. The temperature in the green primeval forest of Casimir began to drop rapidly, and Skadi soon found that her boots were frozen to the ground. She broke through the ice with a little effort, but the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice without knowing when.

The temperature was still dropping, and the ice began to spread over the surrounding trees. The instigator of all this was a woman from Carter. Behind her was a spear made of solid black ice, pointing at her body from a distance. The extreme low temperature had made her feel uncomfortable.

Skadi had a bad feeling in her heart. It seemed that she couldn't easily take the village chief of Dripping Water Village away today. But she still didn't explain anything, but silently clenched her sword.

Although the people in front of her were eyeing her covetously, most of Skadi's attention was focused on the black knight at the back of the formation. The other party was still sizing her up and had no intention of taking action.

"Miss Krol is our protector. If you want to take her away without a legitimate reason, I can only regard you as an enemy. I hope you can consider the consequences of doing so and whether it is worth it."

Claude kept a distance of 30 meters from the opponent, not because of caution, but because this distance was just enough for him to launch a charge. The blade of the spear flashed a dazzling light in the dark jungle, and it pointed at Skadi's chest.

The atmosphere was tense, the crossbowman's finger had already pulled the trigger, and the black ice spear behind Yelena began to tremble. Grani looked around anxiously, wanting to get closer to Skadi, but she was a little afraid. But she quickly gathered her courage and rushed towards Skadi.

Claude, who had just launched the charge, immediately stopped, his heavy boots sinking deeply into the mud, lifting a layer of the ground. Skadi, who he had expected to attack, did not make any move, allowing Grani to rush in front of him.

"What on earth are you doing, Ms. Skadi?! If you don't explain, we're going to fight. We're all kindhearted people, why are you killing each other here? Please tell me your reason."

Grani held Skadi's hand tightly to prevent her from drawing her sword, but she knew it was useless. She could easily be thrown away by the opponent's strength, and there was only one explanation for why she could hold Miss Skadi's hand, that is, she didn't want to hurt herself.

This made her even more anxious. Miss Skadi was so dull that she was unwilling to tell them why she wanted to take Carol away. If this continued, a real conflict would break out between them. Mr. Claude, who didn't know the truth, would definitely not hold back.

The air suddenly fell silent, and no one made a sound. Only the subtle sound of ice freezing lingered in the fallen leaves in the jungle. In this extremely tense atmosphere, it seemed like a century had passed. Finally, Skadi's lips moved slightly, and she uttered an almost inaudible word.

"key."

"what?"

"The key to the treasure. I want that."

Several people turned to look at Carol, and she nodded, indicating that the key was indeed with her.

"We still can't give it to you, Miss Skadi. The entire Dripping Village is waiting for the treasure to save its life. We can't turn a blind eye to the lives of those villagers."

"Can't do this."

She was just as frugal with her words, just as inaudible, but Skadi finally said the fourth sentence since arriving here.

"You can't use that key to open the treasure. The moment you open the treasure, the key will absorb a large amount of blood. With your physical condition, you will die on the spot."

"Only the bloodline of Casimir can use that key. Anyone else using that key will only damage it. You will die if you try to open the treasure. Give me the key."

Like a broken jar, Skadi no longer maintained her cold and taciturn image, and told all her reasons and purpose in one breath.

Claude shook his head helplessly and raised his palms. The soldiers immediately lifted the encirclement. The temperature in the air quickly rose, and Yelena also released her spell, but her expression was obviously a little strange, just like an explorer who went through great pains to open a treasure chest, but inside was a shriveled apple that had been bitten twice.

All I can say is that Miss Skadi had made a deep impression on them in less than 10 minutes of her appearance.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 136: The guys who refuse to give up

"Is this the treasure? It's more ordinary than I thought."

After explaining the situation to the hunter lady, Koror agreed to give her the key after opening the treasure chest. As for the problem of the key absorbing a large amount of blood from the user, there is more than one Casimir here, especially Claude. With his physical fitness, he can completely break the key when it absorbs too much blood.

Without Skadi's obstruction, they successfully reached the treasure and found it after a little effort. The bounty hunters who were watching along the way did not have the courage to fight against the elite soldiers of the Reunion Movement, and until they found the treasure, those bounty hunters did not appear again.

"Then I will open it. I am a Casimir after all."

"Please be careful Mr. Claude. If there is any danger, please let go of the key in time."

…………

Claude reached out and took the key from the village chief. He squatted down and inserted the key directly into the lock, then turned it slightly. There was a complex mechanical sound coming from the box, and the key in his hand also ejected several spikes that pierced his fingers and began to suck a lot of blood.

I don't know what structure and material it is made of, but in that instant, this key sucked away nearly two liters of Claude's blood, and it was still asking for more. The box didn't move at all, and it seemed that it could only be opened if it was fed with enough blood, so Claude still didn't move, but his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With a click, the complex device containing the treasure finally made a clear sound and opened a gap, and Claude also released the key in his hand. Skadi was right. The blood drawn in this instant was enough to kill a healthy person, let alone the skinny Kroll.

Even with Claude's strong body, he felt a little dizzy at the moment, but fortunately, the strengthened bones would bring him faster blood production, and the blood would be restored in about three or four days.

The box slowly opened as the machine operated, revealing the golden contents inside. Thousands of ancient Casimir gold coins were piled up inside. This huge amount of wealth was enough to allow the village to have no worries about funds in the next few decades and to purchase various facilities for the village. It was an amount that no one could ignore.

Claude picked up a gold coin, feeling the heavy feel of the precious metal in his hand, then with a flick of his finger, he flicked the coin back into the box.

"Well, let's take it back. I think it will be of great use to us."

Skadi also came to the box, squatted down, silently pulled out the key, wiped the blood off it, and then put it in her arms. She looked up at Claude and opened her mouth to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't make a sound. She stood up silently and walked out of the cave alone, wanting to leave them alone.

Claude waved his hand, and the two soldiers lifted the box together. A box of gold was certainly heavy, but for the strong Ursus, it was not beyond their ability to bear. The group walked back the way they came. They were fed up with the bugs in this forest. The girls in particular sped up their pace in the hope of getting away from those sticky bugs as soon as possible.

Skadi, who was the first to step out of the cave, suddenly stopped, and swung the sword in her hand, leaving a shadow in the air, cutting off several crossbow arrows shot at her. At the command of the bounty hunters ambushing outside, more crossbowmen stood up and poured their crossbow arrows like rain on the entire cave entrance.

Skadi retreated without a word. Several crossbow arrows still dodged her swung sword and shot at her, but they just tore through her clothes before being blocked by her tough skin and bounced to the ground. It was not until she suddenly bumped into someone that she turned her head and found Claude behind her. The back of her head hit his hard breastplate.

"Please step behind me, miss. I'll go talk to them. I hope these gentlemen still have some sense."

Claude passed by Skadi and soon arrived at the cave entrance. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, the bounty hunters who saw someone coming out immediately fired a large number of crossbows, trying to shoot the newcomers to death. Then, the dazzling lightning almost blinded their eyes.

When they opened their red and swollen eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, carefully poked their heads out of the shelter and looked towards the cave entrance, they only saw charred earth and burning trees. All external objects within 10 meters around Claude turned into charcoal, torn to pieces by the violent lightning, and were emitting wisps of green smoke.

The blinding lightning still lingered on the spear in the knight's hand, containing a hidden power that frightened all the bounty hunters. They all looked towards one of them, their leader, the "Captain".

Under the gazes of the crowd, as the leader of this group of bounty hunters, he could only bite the bullet and stick his head out to look at Claude.

"The guy next to the cave, we are here for the treasure. We know you are very powerful, but we have prepared a large amount of Originium explosives. You'd better hand over the treasure to us, otherwise we will blow up the cave and bury you inside. When the time comes, we will dig up the hole and take it from your corpse. Think about it!"

After saying this, he quickly shrank back, fearing that he would be spotted by Claude.

Claude hesitated for a moment. He clearly heard the laughter of the soldiers coming from the cave behind him. The sound was not loud, but it contained a terrible smell of blood. He stood his spear on the ground and sorted out his words. The opponent's move made him a little confused.

"On the contrary, it is you who should really consider a proposal. Listen carefully: if you stand up and put your weapons on the ground now, you can save your lives. Of course, you must hand over all your belongings as compensation for your repeated attacks on us. There is no room for negotiation. You only have two options: agree or refuse."

After saying this, Claude turned around and leaned against the cave. His hands tapped on his arm armor regularly, quietly waiting for the other party's answer.

The bounty hunters did not regard the other party as a madman, because after he had just demonstrated his powerful strength, many bounty hunters realized a problem. Even if they blew up the cave, the knight was still outside! ! Will they have the strength to deal with him by then? !

Casimir's knights were known for their extremely fast speed and powerful force. If they could not defeat the enemy, even the possibility of escape would become extremely small. At this moment, these bounty hunters became hostages holding the bomb, and there was a great possibility that they would perish together with the enemy.

The guy called the captain gritted his teeth for a while, and finally a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He didn't believe that these hundreds of fully-equipped bounty hunters could not deal with him alone. He gritted his teeth and pressed the button on the remote control in his hand, then quickly shrank behind the rock, waiting for the impending explosion.

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, but the explosion did not come. The bounty hunter could not help but think of a terrible consequence and began to press the remote control frantically. However, none of the Originium explosives they had buried early were triggered.

While these bounty hunters were sweating profusely, Claude watched a white figure flash by in the distant jungle and come behind him in a few leaps. He stood up and pulled the spear out of the ground.

"A bunch of stupid people."

Screams began to be heard in the forest one after another. After more than ten minutes, everything became quiet. Only the insects were still crawling among the fallen leaves, gnawing on the rotten leaves and other edible things.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 137 Return to the Grand Knight Territory

In the morning, the soldiers packed up all their stuff. After spending a day here, it was time to set off. The engine of the armored vehicle had been started. Of course, they couldn't drive this thing into the city, so they could only find a place outside the mobile city to put it.

"Okay, let's go back. Grani, don't forget to tell Ms. Kal'tsit that this village already has enough money to send a commission to Rhodes Island. As long as this period of time passes and the news of the treasure being found spreads, this village should be able to return to peace."

Standing next to the armored vehicle, Claude waved goodbye to Grani and Chloe who were seeing them off. This village no longer had any troubles. The bounty hunters from yesterday had been defeated by them. With the help of the elite operators from Rhodes Island, this village should be able to prosper soon. Because of his momentary impulsiveness, he had already wasted a day here. Next, they had to hurry on their way.

After a while, the two armored vehicles disappeared from the sight of the two blonde pony girls, leaving only the indentations of the tracks, telling others that two huge monsters had once stayed here.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The Great Knight Territory is a city that never sleeps. At night, this city will illuminate the sky with its dazzling lights of various colors, so that the night sky painted by it can be seen dozens of kilometers away.

Soldiers in black armor surrounded an open space, their swords and crossbows exuding blood. In the middle of the open space, there were three cars parked there. A Kuranta man in a suit and leather shoes looked at the soldiers nervously. He came here to trade. The other party placed an order for three latest vehicles on his company's official website. This was a big deal. The latest vehicles produced by Thor Industries were extremely expensive, but also had excellent quality. In the past year, they only sold one. But the strange thing was that the delivery location specified by the other party was not in the city, but a coordinate dozens of kilometers away from the city.

This deal revealed a suspicious atmosphere, but no one in Casimir would give up the opportunity to make money, so he gritted his teeth, took a few bodyguards, and drove over here. As long as this deal could be made, he could make a lot of money.

When he arrived at the place, he didn't see anyone. Just when he was wondering, these soldiers appeared out of nowhere. When he arrived here, he didn't find any flaws at all, but so many people were hiding under his noses, and none of them noticed the clues. The cold sweat on his back immediately wet his well-tailored suit, which made him shudder.

Seeing the indifferent eyes of those soldiers, looking at him and his men as if they were dead objects, he couldn't help but feel nervous, not knowing what would happen to him next.

"Hey, Boss. Let's run. These guys are murderous. Look at their eyes... I'm sure they have dozens of lives on their hands. If we don't run, we'll die here."

His bodyguard leader, an old mercenary, was standing behind him at the moment, whispering to him in a very low voice. Logically speaking, this mercenary was nearly 5 years old and his physical condition was no longer at its peak, but he still hired him with a high salary because he had rich experience and could help him avoid many dangers.

But after a while, the mercenary squeezed out another word from between his teeth.

"It's too late. We are already surrounded. Hope is all."

As he spoke, his hand moved closer to the weapon on his thigh with barely perceptible movement. He didn't have the habit of just sitting there and waiting to die. At worst, he could take his boss with him, which would be worthy of his salary.

They didn't have to wait too long before a soldier came towards them. He was wearing a black mask and black goggles, with no skin exposed.

"What we want is the R-t54 all-terrain vehicle from Thor Industries. The money is ready. I hope the goods you bring are worth the high price."

The Kuranta man quickly said: "Of course, they are all new cars and have only been driven this time. You can check them carefully."

While speaking, his waist involuntarily bent down, and his expression was already somewhat flattering, but the soldier ignored his enthusiasm and walked to the front of the vehicle. He turned on the portable terminal in his hand, connected it to the data port of the vehicle, and began to check the parameters of the vehicle.

Watching the other party skillfully typing on the keyboard and carefully reviewing the readings displayed on the screen, the Kuranta merchant couldn't help sweating, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel lucky. He had actually thought about doing something before. As long as he slightly changed the parts of the vehicle, he could make a lot of money. Fortunately, the bodyguard reminded him, otherwise they might have become corpses on the sand by now.

After a while, the soldier put away the computer, and it seemed that there was no problem. But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the other party opened the hood of the vehicle again and carefully checked every interface and every screw. He did not stop his inspection until he finally checked that the vehicle production number was one month ago.

"The balance has been transferred to your account, please remember to check it."

These solemn soldiers boarded the vehicle, started it up quickly and disappeared into the night, leaving behind the somewhat exhausted Kuranta merchant who sat on the ground. However, when he saw the arrival information on his terminal, he couldn't help but smile.

"Kolber, I'm going to double your salary when I get back... no, triple it."

………………

Harvey has been working at the city checkpoint for two years. Overall, he has done a good job, at least there have been no major mistakes. Because the Great Knight Territory has a developed economy and a huge flow of people every day, their work is also extremely heavy and their salary is much higher than that of other colleagues.

Just like now, it is already late at night, but the people and vehicles queuing in front of the city checkpoint still go deep into the distant night, and there is no end in sight.

After taking a sip of the strong coffee on the table, Harvey rubbed his eyes and pressed a button next to him. A middle-aged man came in and handed him a form. He carefully checked the data on the form and held a stamp in his hand. If the inspection was qualified, he would stamp it.

"Mr. Chiliev from Ursus, right? You said your caravan has 25 members and three vehicles, and you came here to purchase anti-infection drugs..."

"Of course, here is my certificate, please take a look."

The other party handed over a certificate with the official gold stamp of Ursus on it. The moment he took it, he also felt the unusual thickness of the back of the paper. He let the contents slip into his pocket without making a sound. He carefully checked the certificate and confirmed that it was authentic and that the photo on it was exactly the same as the man in front of him. Without much hesitation, he stamped it with the seal in his hand.

"Welcome to the Great Knight Territory. Please enjoy the prosperity here, Mr. Chiliev."

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 138: Handsome Margaret

Claude flipped through the messages on the terminal, and turned off the ads that were automatically sent to him on the city network one by one. The entire Knight Camp was full of news about the Knight Special Tournament, and the screens in the center of each square in the city also played various news and programs related to knight competitions. Now it is no longer like before. The speed of information exchange in the city is quite fast. No matter what kind of goods and services you need, as long as you can afford the corresponding money, you can find them on the intercity network.

"More than 20 of us are still too big a target. Based on the rental information, I have found 13 options that meet the requirements. Each cadre will lead a team of 3 to 5 people. The distance between these houses will not be too far. If an accident occurs, we can support each other and try not to make any big noise. After all, our identities are very sensitive in this country."

Claude displayed the options in his mobile terminal on the car-mounted computer. Several cadres crowded around him and began to discuss the specific arrangements together.

Because Claude's plan could not be separated from the help of the Linguang family, he decided to choose a place close to the Linguang family. Ceobe and Hart stayed with him and Xinteleya, otherwise the two guys would definitely get into trouble. The Linguang family's mansion is in a good location in the Great Knight's Territory. Not only is the transportation convenient, but the residential density is also relatively low, and the flow of people is less. The only disadvantage is that the rent is relatively high.

Soon everyone had chosen a location and agreed to report the situation every day. Claude also booked all the houses online. This time they brought a large amount of money, which was enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies that Claude imagined.

"Once everyone arrives at your residence, take a rest as soon as possible and recover your strength. Do not let your guard down, Sasha."

The young man with short dark blue hair, Fidelia, immediately turned to Claude.

"Take your crossbowmen with you to clean up the mess. Don't leave any tail behind. If you encounter one, deal with it cleanly."

The young man nodded heavily. Being not good at speaking, he covered his face with a scarf. A shadow shrouded him and his crossbowman, making them like a shadow in the sun and would not attract anyone's attention.

"Yelena, you and the Yeti Squad are stationed here. There is a lake next to it. If you encounter an attack, contact me immediately and I will arrange an evacuation route for you... I'd better tell you now, otherwise it may be too late. Petrova, remember what I say, and don't make any mistakes."

A female snow monster nodded quickly and stared at the screen seriously. But her eyes always looked a little strange, and she couldn't help but drift towards Yelena next to her, as if she was signaling something to her.

Yelena's plain face was a little stiff at this moment, but she still pretended not to see it and remained motionless as a mountain.

"Go along this street and turn left at the third intersection. We will be there to pick you up in about three minutes... Okay, that's basically it. Then... this city is much more prosperous than the city in Ursus. You can go out for a walk, but be camouflaged. Like I told you, activate the rune on your armor."

After saying this, Claude reached out to close the page on the computer, then stood up and got out of the car.

"I'll give you these three vehicles. They've all been processed and won't be discovered by others. I'm the fastest of everyone, so I don't need a vehicle."
