Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

Scout remained silent when he heard this, but the Sakhaz traitor became more and more agitated:

"Ridiculous! You want to slander me, you dare to say that I don't believe in the way of His Highness, you damn it——!!

And the Doctor replied

, "But this is what you said yourself, what you expressed,

you know in your own heart."

The Sakaz traitor roared loudly again:

"Filthy foreigners! You are bloody-

" The Doctor's tone remained extremely calm:

"

If you want to hear my opinion, I will tell you, Sakaz people."

"It's definitely not that you lost trust in Your Highness because of me and Kelsey, you are just afraid that you will no longer trust Theresia, and unilaterally blame others."

This time, the Sakaz traitor's tone was trembling, and he said:

"[Sakaz foul language]!! If I really leave Your Highness, then I will also take your head with me!"

The Doctor still had no emotional ups and downs, his tone was still calm, but it was like a bottomless abyss:

"If you are only disappointed in Theresia's preaching and blame me, then why confront you?"

"Is it just the strength of His Highness Fear? Just because he can't change His Highness's opinion?

"You're still confused, you don't know where your destiny is going, but many people will know that they don't care about you, they just want to use you as a bridge."

"I am not really in the realm of the nations, so there will always be someone to check if the Sakaz have other powers."

Then the Sakaz traitor replied:

"... What are you talking about? Ruse? Nonsense? Bad tongue? Induce me to give a confession on the charge of defection. Just to show off your so-called insight and strategy, do you play this well in front of Scout?

The Doctor's words this time made him almost unable to hold the knife:

"No, Sakaz."

"I want you to get out of here alive."

The Sakaz traitor was actually stunned for a moment, and only after a few seconds did he react and said:

"... What the?

"Are you kidding? What the fuck is this joke?!

And the Doctor said

, "I know you, 'traitor,

' your name is Andrés."

"That night, it was Misery, who was badly wounded in your back, who ran back scarred from the front line, with at least a dozen etched bullets on your back, and by the time you arrived at the camp, you were in shock, even more life-threatening than Misery."

"And you used your last strength to inform the enemy of the artillery march route before you fell unconscious, so that we were able to quickly solve the most tricky part of this battle."

"So I'm giving you this opportunity."

The Sakaz traitor named Andrés said:

"... No way! Why should I believe you?!

Scout said to him

, "You have to figure it out,

traitor."

"Whatever the Doctor says, you can only believe it."

Scout clenched the sniper rifle again, knowing that the other party might take drastic measures next, and he had to be able to perform headshots and kill them at any time.

"No... No! Scout, don't be fooled by this man! He let me go just to better slander, and I won't go anywhere.

"You want to slander me as a spy sent by some country?" Or are they secretly harboring evil intentions and wanting to devour the careerists of Kazdale or their minions?! You don't know what I've been through, but—"

Andreas's tone was still fierce, but his hand holding the knife was shaking violently.

"Traitor, do you know what you are doing now, countless battles, only the Doctor can bring us victory, and now the Tower of Babel can not even suffer even a single defeat, your behavior is equivalent to murdering another hero of Sakaz!"

Scout shouted in an extremely stern tone.

"Look at it, Scout! In addition to victory... His eyes are empty! What do we have besides victory ?! Sakaz needs to win, he needs to win, but that doesn't mean we just need a black hole that has nothing but victory!

Andrés also shouted to Scout,

"How do you know that this series of smooth victories is not part of his plot?" There are so many excellent talents around His Highness, but why did he pick this suspicious foreigner?!

But at this moment, a gentle, but cold female voice came from afar:

"... That's enough.

Scout immediately stepped aside and said in a respectful tone,

"Your Highness."

Theresia came from behind Scout and looked at the Doctor, her eyes were gentle, and her tone was the same:

"The Doctor... Are you injured?

The Doctor replied, "

No."

Scout said from the side:

"Your Highness, it happened suddenly, I didn't expect the situation here."

The Doctor interjected

, "No, I told Scout to stop,

or this Sakatz's head would have exploded."

Theresa bowed her head lightly and said, "

I understand."

Andrés looked at Theresia, and his tone became intermittent:

"Your Highness... I...... I..."

Theresia looked at Andrés as well and said,

"Ah... It's you.

"I recognize you, Andreas, and you stood below, in the front row, when I was giving my post-war speech just now, and you listened the most."

"The Doctor is right, you and your warriors have made combat achievements for us, but this is not... An excuse for your current actions.

Andrés only felt his tongue knotting in his mouth:

"... Your Highness, Your Highness... I..."

Theresia could feel the emotion, her eyes could not tell whether it was sad or relieved, and said:

"You... Don't trust me? Andrés?

"You who saved so many of your compatriots, you who brought back intelligence for us from the most dangerous places, you who have traveled a long road with us, and now... Don't want to believe me anymore?

This time, Andrés even had a hint of crying in his tone, and said:

"I don't, Your Highness, I, I..."

[I didn't even dare to look up at her.

At this moment, Scout said:

"Your Highness, if you interrogate him directly, it seems that there will be no progress."

"Now that the Tower of Babel is in a more serious form, we must immediately confirm whether there are still people in the team who are dissatisfied with you - or problems with Kazdell."

"Please leave him to Askalun."

Theresia said,

"Hmm... Before that, Dr.

"Can you tell me what he just did to you?"

And the Doctor said,

"He didn't do anything."

"It

may be an assassination, but it's not."

Scout exclaimed,

"Doctor——?!

Andrés's tone became utterly hesitant:

"I..."

the Doctor said again at this point

, "He's just been deceived, Theresia,

and would you believe me if I said that he was by far the most innocent one?"

At this moment, a low roar of mon3tr came from Theresia's side.

"Doctor, there is no need for funny jokes here, and Scout doesn't think he's mixed in into a funny joke."

Kelsey also came over and said to Theresia on the side:

"But at least... This Sakaz is indeed not on the list of suspects, Theresia.

Andrés said in a trembling tone:

"You, Feilin, a foreigner, dare to call His Highness by his first name?!"

Theresia looked at Andrés and said,

"... Do you hate Kelsey? Hate the Doctor? Do you hate those who bring us victory and survival?

"Just because, aren't they Sakaz?" Instead of what they did, and what they were going to do?

Andrés replied,

"I... Your Highness, listen to me, Sakaz, it was because of the trust of other bloodlines that Kazdall was burned by that horrific fire, and I began to realize that Your Highness, Sakaz and other races are different and different.

"We are demons, devils, Your Highness!!"

"There are so many excellent people around you, but why, why do you want these two foreigners-

" Scout shouted:

"

Stop!!"

Andrés stopped talking.

"Hmm... I see what you mean.

Theresia nodded, looked at

Scout, and said, "May I ask one more question, Scout,

what is your judgment?"

Scout replied

, "I respect the Doctor and your judgment, but in my opinion,

he should be taken into custody and put in a cell immediately."

"And if it is according to military law, it is summarily executed."

Andrés' hand holding the knife stopped shaking, this is not a return to calm... It's a complete panic.

"Yes, it's just a choice, and we're always faced with countless choices."

Theresia looked directly at Kelsey and said,

"No matter what he carries, he has finally made an action that should be paid."

Kelsey said, "

This will not be the last."

"Theresia, in case this indulgence causes unnecessary trouble, maybe it will also threaten your safety later."

Theresia said, "

He just made a regrettable choice."

Andrés said in a fierce tone:

"No, Your Highness, my Highness, please, please listen to me..."

"I was the first group of Sakaz to follow you, I just don't want to see it... Those people again set us on fire from within, three fires, how many fellow Sakaz were burned, how many Sakaz hopes were burned?

"The covenant of the royal court, the ancient limb bones, the devil's oath... I've seen too much and I just don't want any of the Sakaz to fall into the shadow of internal fermentation again!!

Theresia closed her eyes and said, "

At first, this was something I resisted."

"Vicious tricks, insidious schemes... If it were not for the inevitable path to eventual peace, it would be difficult for me to accept.

"But the Sakaz waited too long."

"For a long time, the spirit of Sakaz has dried up its blood and tears, and withered its heart."

"In the endless war, I have to use such a war, together with tens of thousands of lives, to open up this land, my emotions are shallow after all, so I want to learn more."

"Kelsey, Doctor, and Amia, this is my attitude towards you, we share the same belief, in order to build a true home for the Sakatz, to explore the possibility and method of peaceful coexistence with other races."

"So, I respect the Doctor's choice, and please tell me your conclusions now."

The Doctor pondered for a moment and said,

"This Sakaz has committed an act of betrayal, but not to me, but to the image of Theresia in his heart, who has disappointed him."

"He can't be called a traitor, he's just a pitiful man whose heart has been blinded, and from what I see, since Her Highness Theresia is willing to give freedom to so many people-"

"Then why not let go of this Sakaz who once made great achievements and exile him to this land?"

"Perhaps, he will pick up a new belief, whether yours or someone else's."
