The miserable life of Arknights

For a long time, Shirogane stood up from the ground, his body was stiff, as if he had changed his body.

"Don't move." The long-handled knife of the Demon Quest Knight rested on the platinum neck, "Be honest, it won't hurt you."

"Don't worry, I don't, maliciously." Shirogane's mouth was extremely dry, and even speaking was unnatural.

"Even my life, you commanded, saved."

Although the incident happened suddenly, Xuan Tie's first two arrows were blocked by Tianshuo alone, and the third arrow was not directed at him, but Shirogane herself.

Tianshuo forcibly deflected the third arrow, causing the arrow to aim at the right abdomen, and he himself was grazed by the arrow.

"Can you give me a glass of water?" Shirogane now feels particularly uncomfortable, as if his whole body has been burning.

The chasing knight looked at the cup on the side, and then at Shirogane, who was so weak that he could barely stand up against the wall.

Bang!

The long-handled knife was inserted into the wall from the position next to Shirogane's head in an instant, standing on the wall.

Taking the cup away, the clash of armor appeared unusually loud in the quiet of the night.

"Ahem... Why, it feels, so dehydrated..." Shirogane looked at his dry arms, his body had completely changed after being fed something.

She was confused and didn't know what it was, only that something had flowed into her mouth.

“...... Hehe, it's good to survive..." Shirogane looked at her arm and was stunned, she remembered that the arrow destroyed her body structure in an instant, and her arm was directly shattered into pieces....

Now, long back.

Business Federation Building

"The board is angry." McKee sat with Markowitz, looking through the glass at the bustling city.

"It looks like we're going to have a few months less bonus, Mr. Markowitz."

"The bonus ... We have involved so many infected people, knights, and even the lives of the Wuxian Alliance, and the impact is actually only a bonus? Markowitz felt a little sad.

“...... About this matter. McGee got up from his seat and faced Markowitz.

"Come with me, Brother Markowitz, we should discuss your whereabouts too." McGee led Markowitz towards the conference room, "Your remarks about the previous phone call, I thought about it afterwards, did make sense.

McGee pushed open the unoccupied conference room, which was illuminated by a light and a telephone on the desk.

Markowitz stared at the phone for a long time, "Whose call are we waiting for?"

"A journalist's." McGee found a place to sit everywhere and waited quietly, with a lot of time, and could wait slowly and patiently.

"Reporter?" After sifting through his head, Markowitz did not recall the figure about journalists: "Do we still need to be interviewed by journalists?" "

Business federations have the right to refuse all interviews.

"No, you are mistaken, Brother Markowitz, many people call him that, just a title, not really a journalist."

McGee picked up his phone, and it was already time for the other party to call.

Reporter...... Wait, is it .

. "McGee?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, a familiar voice from Markowitz.

"It's me." McGee turned to Markowitz, "Let me tell you, the person on the other end of the phone right now is the chairman of the Rose News United Press ... 'Reporter' Kane." "

Markowitz is next to you too?"

"Yes, it's an honor to communicate with you." Markowitz had already guessed who the other party was.

"Markowitz was taken by me from Meshko Industries at great expense, and he will be my right-hand man, so there are no outsiders here, McGee... You can call me father.

Markowitz looked at McGee, his eyes fickle.

The two looked at each other without making a sound.

"Yes, Father."

"Well, is your mother okay?"

"Very well, father, I often think of you."

"What about you? Are you married?

"I..." The words McGee wanted to say were stuck in his throat and couldn't be spoken. Not yet.

"What about you? Father, where are you now? "

Columbia."

"That... When will you return to Casimir?

"Oh, it's not time yet, McGee."

"Those who are short-sighted do not see that Colombia is the real enemy that threatens Casimir."

"Our newspapers haven't reached their cities, and our voices haven't reached Colombians."

"The speed at which they are developing is frightening, and we have to contain it.... Grab their market. "

The game of nations is so fascinating, McGee."

"But those .... Nobility, bah. Be a stick in the mud.... Victoria, Usas, these powerful nations are painfully ignorant..."

"In!" Markowitz was taken aback by the sudden roll call.

"Are you willing to give everything to the business federation?"

Markowitz thought back to what had happened before.

"You are a capable person, I can feel it just from those reports that are only a few words."

"Are you still interested in those knights..... With compassion?

Markowitz didn't answer, although he knew it would be rude.

"Looks like I got it right."

"Kid, please think about it."

"When the number of Casimir high-speed warships far exceeded that of Usas, when Colombia was filled with Casimir's caravans and goods, when the number of border fortresses doubled compared to now..."

Is Usas still a threat? Is Casimir still weak?

"Of course not."

"The knights are Casimir's moths. Ignorant nobles, glory .... Scold. "

I heard what happened in the Major, did the Supervisory Council think they 'earned face'?"

"Glory and face, give them as much as they want."

"Time and the people are on our side, and it only takes a few games for the people to forget the impact of the Yao Knight and devote themselves to the next round of consumption and entertainment."

"For them, 'arguing which knight is stronger' 'arguing about whether the pricing around the knight is reasonable' is more important than focusing on all the dregs we leave behind."

"The state is on our side. Casimir is already inseparable from the economic foundation provided by the business federation. Those pathetic conquest knights... How many have already voluntarily surrendered to us. "

“...... Boss, in fact, there is a move that I don't understand. Markowitz thought back to the power outage that day.

“...... Say.

"After the blackout, I investigated for a long time, and there were forty-two Silver Gun Pegasus who received orders, but those who came to Cavalellaki... Only twenty-one.

"Boss, our intelligence is missing."
