Arknights, but the family has fallen again

"Me!? I think you're the thief crying thief!"

Lin Guang knew that the per capita quality of her hometown was far inferior to that of Sakota in Lateran. She even saw with her own eyes that some people took advantage of the chaos just now to steal, rob, and even rob.

But now is definitely not the time for reckoning!

"Listen to my orders!"

These elite soldiers who were fortunate enough to come with our ship understood and stomped their axes on the ground.

Boom!dong dong!

It's like the heartbeat of the moving city itself.

The originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. While they were surprised, they also realized another problem in their sober state: this voice sounded so familiar!

But before Lin Guang could take another step, suddenly, the glass door in front of the administrative building was broken by a black shadow!

There was another cloud of smoke.

The drone in the air, however, was like a fish in water in the dim smoke, hanging far behind the black shadow.

"Ahhh! Killing!"

"It's the Sarkaz!"

"Who touched me!?"

"My bag!"

The group of "lumpen proletarians, urban petty bourgeoisie, thugs, bigots, sophisticated egoists, fools and deceived normal people" that was just about to be controlled has once again become a mess.

After the riot control and mediation, Lin Guang had confirmed that some people in the crowd were actively manipulating the situation. These flag bearers, hired by Gale Industries to stir up trouble, had already come to view the current events as another unscripted live performance.

Even though Lin Guang felt that the figure looked familiar, firstly, she had received orders from Otto, and secondly, she was unwilling to give up and let the crowd that had already been controlled go.

"Whatever the cost! Maintain order!"

Following a loud shout from the temporary commander, the soldiers fine-tuned their weapons.

For the tough Terrans, a slight adjustment to their firearms would prevent bullets from killing them. So, these weapons, manufactured on the Longmen landmass under the guise of "police riot control weapons," could actually be used directly to suppress riots.

The dull, subtle sound of gunfire, with a slight leaky feel, continued.

They finally calmed down temporarily.

Gale Industries' security chased Tolan and stopped in front of the smoke again, while Zwonek police also arrived late.

Behind the security were the branch executives, and then Otto and Desiree.

After seeing this scene, those who made money from the parade suddenly realized: Oh no, are they going to be deducted money?

These villains did not expect that if Rhodes Island had not acted in time, more than ten people would have been trampled to death, and dozens or even hundreds of people would have been injured or even severely injured.

Even they themselves can make plans here despite the "wounds" of the leaky air gun, thanks to Ott's desire to take root in Zwonek.

On the one hand, these casualties were nothing in Casimir; rural conflicts were far more brutal. On the other hand, Zwonek was currently in the final mile of its "Lehtanian Friendship City" campaign.

A little parade against the infected was harmless—at least that's what Gale Industries' money said. But with such casualties in the city... what would the Leithanians think?

More importantly: What if that damned Chesper gets an excuse to bring the War Knights into the city management?!

This meant that once casualties occurred, the city bureaucrats would do everything they could to suppress them. And these were resources they had already devoured, or were about to devour.

The top brass whispered to each other, and when the smoke cleared, the Zwonek police slowly came in with loud speakers, ready to evacuate the crowd.

Ott waved.

Lin Guang also breathed a sigh of relief: "Handover!"

The soldiers loosened their formation, allowing the Zwoneks to take over the crowd and slowly evacuate.

At the same time, Lin Guang frowned and pretended to listen. Soon, she took a long axe and disappeared.

The mayor wiped his sweat and forced a smile through his wrinkles: "Thanks so much to Rhodes Island for their help!"

The police chief was quite perceptive. He burped with a gloomy expression, "Burp! I think the knights are investigating the wrong people. Why are they investigating the Leitanians?"

"Hiccup! Well-trained, with an Ursus accent, and those axes!" Clearly, he had some personal feelings mixed in: "That person who sneaked in wasn't a Leithanian spy! It was Dr. Hiccup Khan from Ursus!"

"Damn wild horse bastard..."

The Hippogriff is considered an "impossible beast" in the story. It is the offspring of a griffin and a horse—but griffins feed on horses. This relationship was appropriated by the Casimirs as a derogatory term for the Ursians.

His vulgar language was suppressed by others with violence.

If you taste it carefully, you will find that these city bureaucrats all have some smell of alcohol on them!

The mayor said: "Don't worry, we were just at a party... He drank a little too much."

"But he's right about one thing," the mayor said excitedly. "Despite their crude weapons, Rhodes Island's soldiers are truly amazing! I really want to see them wielding proper weapons. I'd like to hire them..."

So, as long as it’s not the Knight Grandpa, it doesn’t matter who it is, right?

"It's more important to resettle the people." Otto stopped the mayor's plan.

Just as the carnivores were celebrating, feeling lucky that a fool had fallen from the sky and actually took the initiative to help them avoid financial disaster, they didn't know that they were inviting a wolf into the house...

"Operator Lin Guang, please proceed to the target location." The terminal instructed.

And the Knight of Glory Lin Guang is following Otto's guidance to find her other "uncle".

In the alley, Tolan lifted the manhole cover.

He planned to make a few more circles before returning to the guild headquarters.

Clang!

The axe blade split the fierce wind, and the long sword in Tolan's hand, which was not very impressive to begin with, broke into two sections.

"Margaret Linguang." Kuranta introduced himself.

Looking at another horse girl holding a long-handled weapon in front of him, the fake smile on Tolan's face completely disappeared.

"The emblem of Rhodes Island?" Tolan said helplessly, "I only do good deeds occasionally. Why are you good people chasing me and killing me?"

"…Doc Otter?"

Damn!

It's the Mind Flayer!

Seeing Margaret suddenly talking to herself, Tolan squeezed out more strength from his body and drilled into the half-open sewer.

thump.

At some point, the crystal shell had sealed it.

"Mr. Tolan." Ott tilted his head: "What did I do to make you disrespect me so?"

Chapter 305: Unify the three major hunter divisions?

Facing Ott's questioning, Tolan instantly hid all the evasiveness on his face behind a smile: "Ah, seeing you like this, I can't come to see you in such a rude state, right?"

"You'd better save yourself from such greasy rhetoric that will ruin your impression in front of your nephews and nieces," Otto said bluntly. "Perhaps we can cooperate—Rhodes Island and the Bounty Hunter Guild."

"……Aha?"

[Won't that eye fall off? ]

Tolan's eyes widened, and even Lin Guang expressed his simple concern.

"To show my sincerity, how about I 'treat' you first?"

No, at most I just dislocated my arm intentionally when I was trying to get out, it’s not really an injury!

Before Tolan could speak, Ott snapped his fingers.

The Hornless Sarkaz's dislocated arm had twisted waves of flesh tumbling beneath its skin, as if countless small insects were crawling around.

Destiny restructured!

Now Tolan understood: five percent sincerity and ninety-five percent threat.

Seeing Tolan no longer prevaricate, Ott began to explain: "The scattered bounty hunters, if united, are a formidable force. More importantly, they are rooted in the vast countryside and small waterway towns. In terms of the fundamental strength they rely on, they are the antithesis of Casimir."

Tolan said, "Although the authorities are not happy to see us, the word 'opposite' is a bit too much!"

He also defended himself: "Besides, we also have a stronghold in the city!"

"So, do you want the heads of Huofei, Huangyan and others?" Otto went straight to the point.

“How did you know…!”

Looking at Margaret's cold face, Tolan suddenly realized.

"By the way, I can't read minds."

In the original world line, bounty hunter leaders such as Fire Lung, Yellow Smoke, and Skull Cavity served as the background for Skadi's appearance in the "Cavalry and Hunter" event that took place in 1097.

It was precisely because several major bounty hunter gangs that dominated the industry encountered the "natural disaster" of Skadi that Tolan had the opportunity to unify the vast majority of bounty hunters in the name of the "Bounty Hunter Guild".

However, before Rhodes Island headed north and the search for the knight's treasure reached its peak, these bounty hunters were still working for local tyrants, evil gentry, and black-hearted giant companies, and there was no way to talk about Tolan's great cause.

"But I still don't see how the guild and Rhodes Island can cooperate."

What's more, you've ruined my business, yet you're using it to discuss cooperation! ?

Tolan complained inwardly.

These words, uttered by Ott, who was possessed by Lin Guang, were filled with hatred and hatred. "Nowadays, bounty hunters are being hired by giant corporations to destroy rural production and life in order to lower land prices. This behavior is extremely shameful."

Lin Guang, however, was moved and said, "Normally, Doc Otter, you have a more practical reason. What is it this time?"

"When giant corporations move into rural areas, whether they use the land for industry or plantations, it will interfere with my positioning of the Casimir office in Rhodes Island. In the long run, the best time to intervene is now."

Tolan was shocked: "When I was asking for information, I heard that Dr. Ott from Rhodes Island was outspoken..."

But I didn't expect that he could be so outspoken!

"Excuse me for asking you a question, why did you kill Zhi Zhuotu just now? Wouldn't it be better to keep him?"

"You lack the channels to grasp the pulse of the upper echelons of the giant corporation and the movements of the Cavaleriaki, but Rhodes Island does." Lin Guang's eyes were indifferent. "Under such circumstances, the harm of cooperating with Zhi Zhuotu is greater than the benefit."

"Damage means...?" Tolan frowned.

"Cooperating with someone who harms the homeland and manipulates public opinion—even if it's threatening, coercive, and condescending—will greatly damage the morale of Rhodes Island," Ott said. "Unlike secular regimes, Rhodes Island's morale and spirit are largely maintained by idealism."

This is completely different from his speech.

"Rhode Island shouldn't venture into the black if it doesn't have to, and shouldn't even venture into the gray if it doesn't have the emotional support to do so."

This is also Ott’s biggest gain after the Lai Village incident.

Rhodes Island can now use the excuse of "human rights over sovereignty" to work together. As a multinational corporation, Rhodes Island does not have the double standard of "sovereignty over human rights", which makes it easy to use.

Tolland smiled, his smile folded with a mixture of mockery, cynicism, and irritation at Otter's recent behavior.

"Dr. Ott, you're so quick to say. Why don't you hand over the evidence of Huofei and Huangyan's illegal involvement in domestic violence to our guild?" Tolan said, "We'll take care of them immediately!"

It turns out that Tolan's primary goal was to secure the final nail in the coffin for Huofei, Huangyan, and the others after their deaths. This coincided with Ott's plan to initiate a class-action lawsuit to put an end to Gale Industries.

These scattered soldiers and brave men greatly hindered Tolan's first step of unifying the bounty hunters.

Besides simply waiting for a natural disaster to wipe out his rivals, Tolan would certainly have to be more proactive. The Bounty Hunter Guild was already unpopular, and if a competitor were to die through excessive and direct violence, Tolan's ambitious project of "civilian dispute mediation" might be exposed to the authorities prematurely.

Ott remained silent.

Toland actually did not use the fact that "Ott had set him up and made him bear another crime" as a negotiation point. It was obvious that this was not an attitude of long-term cooperation.

Even if that scumbag was 99.99% responsible, wasn't Mr. Tolan Cash at fault for taking advantage of the negotiation between Rhodes Island and Gale Industries to force his way into Gale's administrative building?

The sound of two people's footsteps was heard outside the alley.

It turned out that Otto himself and Desiree had come together.

Lin Guang shook his head, and in the sudden feeling of dryness, he realized that Otto had completely left.

"Guild leader, we share a common stance on maintaining the livelihood of Casimir," Ott said. "To this end, Rhodes Island is willing to provide Rhodes Island's international travel credentials to hunters willing to accept the restrictions."

In fact, a considerable number of operators who "went to the island" initially did so for convenience.

Tolan beamed. "Oh, how embarrassing! Hey, Dr. Ott! What are the restrictions?"

He put aside the matter of Otto ruining his plan and prepared to cooperate with Rhodes Island.
