Hello, Arknights

Chapter 289 Knight Code

"The Branch Knight is exerting his strength! He hit two opponents in succession. His movements are so fast that it is unexpected! Need I say more? Friends, gold coins! Banknotes! Cheer for him in your own way!"

The knight who barely succeeded was dodging the pursuit breathlessly. Although he was a little embarrassed for a moment, he was still quite pleased with the words of Big Mouth Mob. When the opponents around him finally stopped insisting on getting back the points and turned to look for opponents who were easier to succeed, the Branch Knight breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look for the next target that looked weaker.

"Wildmane Knight has broken through the blockade! What is she going to do? Infected Knights are always more daring than normal players! Ah! Branch Knight! It's the Branch Knight, and her target is the Branch Knight who was so popular just a moment ago!"

"Bang!" The shield and spear collided, and the infected knight's powerful attack was blocked.

Kuranta swept her lance angrily while charging. If the broadcast had not given the target a warning, how could she have achieved nothing?

The Branch Knight yelled and cursed. The Wildmane Knight was famous for his brute strength. The shot just now made his arm numb. Moreover, he probably anticipated that he was about to end up like this.

"Hey! If you have the guts, how about we fight each other with a single shot?" Seeing that the Branch Knight was about to escape again, Wild Mane shouted and raised his spear.

"Oh oh oh! The Wildmane Knight has launched a challenge! Do you want to bet on the honor of the knight?! Dear audience members! Don't just shout slogans! The sound of gold coins falling is even louder! What? Can't hear clearly? Then try the Avote headphones from Allen Select Technology Company. Even if you are not at the scene, you can clearly hear the sound of the knights' sweat. It supports multiple music recording methods, has super long battery life, and superb sound quality! During the event, you can also apply for the official gold-plated knight image on the case! Buy one! You will never regret it, with a five-year warranty. The special championship special collector's edition is now on pre-sale..."

The sudden advertisement made Ling Dengxian speechless. The ridiculous price of the headphones made him even more silent. The hot scene was filled with cheers from the audience, and coupled with the exaggerated performance of the host, he was really a little stressed...

He didn't understand why people like Li Lingyu and Qi Yunfei enjoyed such an atmosphere, or maybe... he just couldn't experience the joy of being part of it.

He suppressed his presence to a very low level. In addition, he was an unknown newcomer. After dealing with the attacks of several people who also joined the competition through the Red Wine Newspaper, he ran around in the huge venue and successfully created a qualified background board role.

He was waiting, waiting for twenty minutes.

On the other side, the Wildmane Knight was chasing the fleeing Branch Knight. Two of the infected knights who participated in the melee with her were deliberately targeted by the opponent and left the field early... The melee lasted for an hour, and it was not even twenty minutes yet!

The number of infected knights and ordinary knights is not equal. After casualties in the melee, the ratio has dropped to nearly four to one.

The Branch Knight knew that his current performance did not win him popularity, but he did not intend to take risks. A head-on battle might cause him to lose a lot of points. He planned to play it safe and try to get as many points as possible before leaving the game. After all, there would be singles and doubles matches after the melee, so he needed to conserve his strength for the final melee. As of now, his points would be enough to ensure his entry into the special tournament after the final melee as he expected.

Well, after entering the Special Tournament, he would be eliminated after just a few games, but there is a difference between being able to enter the Special Tournament and not being able to enter.

Every knight who appears in the special tournament will receive an additional substantial appearance fee bonus.

The Wildmane Knight was already wounded, but he still bravely continued to pursue, which was also the style of play that gave him the most headaches.

Because he really couldn't beat Yamanong, who was no different from Desperate Saburo.

While he was catching his breath, he was forced to the red line of the field.

“There’s no way out, right?” Wildmane Knight readied his spear and prepared to attack. Branch Knight snorted coldly, “You’re so annoying!”

"Isn't it more disgusting that you are targeting me maliciously?" Kuranta said through gritted teeth, his hair flying with throbbing anger.

He also hated the fact that the Infected Knights were more united than the ordinary Knights.

"There's nothing much to say. If you're too weak but still want to be on stage, don't blame me for not giving you a seat!" The Branch Knight prepared for defense and sneered sarcastically.

Wildmane didn't want to argue any more, as that wasn't her strong point. She just shouted and prepared to trade injuries for injuries to the Branch Knight and drive him off the stage.

When the weapons clashed, the bell representing the end of the twenty-minute support betting rang. A loud sound was heard, and the feeling of being hit was followed by a feeling of weightlessness. The sound of armor hitting the ground stopped, and the two knights stood up with their teeth bared.

"Wild Mane and Branch crossed the red line! Eliminated."

"What a pity! I didn't expect that the sturdy Wildmane Knight used too much force, not only knocking the branch that was aimed at his companion out of the line, but also eliminating himself!" said the quick-talking Big Mouth Mob regretfully.

But that was not what Wildmane Knight and Branch Knight learned. They looked at the stage hesitantly. A "knight" wearing a mask waved to them and turned to look at the dusty arena.

Zhizhi turned back to look at the electronic scoreboard, and Mob realized his mistake almost immediately:

"Oh! Sorry guys! Big Mouth Mob made a mistake! That is, anything can happen in this arena!"

There was a round of boos from the audience, expressing some dissatisfaction with Mob's mistake.

"The elimination of Wildmane Knight and Branch Knight just now was actually caused by another knight who seemed to be avoiding the confrontation! Let me repeat it again! The intrigues and deceptions on the field are really hard to guard against!"

Ling Dengxian sighed helplessly. He saw Ye Zong's injury and knew that if she continued to be stubborn, it would affect her movement in the next two weeks or so and affect subsequent competitions. After confirming that her points were still good, she hit the Branch Knight and killed them both with one sword before the latter could counterattack.

Exactly twenty minutes have passed.

He didn't want his unconventional move to be used by speculators, especially chaebols, to make money, so he took advantage of the mechanism that cuts off financial bets after 20 minutes of the game, and started his "eye-catching" actions after that.

There were 20 other jousting knights present besides him, and his plan was simple.

According to the competition system, the points change for a win or loss in a singles match is 5 points, and the total change for a doubles match combination is 6 points. He doesn't intend to bully others... just 2 points per person will be enough.

He spent twenty minutes slacking off and got a rough idea of ​​the situation, so he gave himself 10 points of tolerance.

The qualification line to enter the special championship is 50 points. The selection stage is already halfway through, with only one month left. He does not plan to participate in the individual competition and can only participate in two scrimmages, so he can only take a risky approach.

When he changed his retreating attitude and took the initiative to draw a clear sword light on the field, the eye-catching move immediately attracted the attention of all the knights and spectators.

"Who is that guy... Which knight order is he from? How dare he attack three opponents at the same time?"

"*Casimir swears*! He got it! So fast!"

"*Casimir swears* I was careless! I didn't block it! What was this guy doing before?! Is he here to mess with his mentality?!"

"Surround him! This guy is coming for everyone! We can't let him have it easy!"

There was a wave of uproar in the audience, and questions like "Who is he?" kept coming up.

Because until now they don't know what the title of this knight is.

There was also noise coming from the stands on the side of Big Mouth Mob, and the sound of the roster pages flipping was then transmitted to the stadium through the microphone.

Ling Dengxian never thought about escaping unscathed. At this stage, it is really difficult to retreat unscathed in this limited space. He also knows that if he wants to keep the points to the maximum extent, Bai Yan has to show his skills.

Dodging the heavy axe's sweep, the white sword flexibly tapped the two nearby opponents twice to leave marks, and spun the sword to force the people behind him to retreat. Looking back, there was no longer any escape route around him.

Originium skills are allowed to be used, but they cannot be used against enemies at a distance, and effective attacks caused by Originium skills and creations will not score points.

Then, just wait for the enemy to enter the attack range on their own.

When the dazzling white light bloomed on the field, not only the opponents around were stunned for a moment, but the audience was also speechless for a very short moment because they thought of the other two knights.

"What's wrong? Bai Guang... Is there something wrong with the white Originium technique?" Hei Jiao and Ye Dao looked around, somewhat confused.

Texas's expression didn't change much, it could be said that she didn't care about other people's reactions at all.

"...No, it's not the light of the Linguang family!"

"That's not light, it looks like flame!"

"What a strange flame..."

The audience roared again, but Ling Dengxian finally realized what he had missed... The Casimir people were really good at making associations...

He took advantage of a moment's break to look down at the white flame in his hand, which was not as bright as the one in the Knight of Glory, smiled, and immediately broke through to create an advantageous distance again.

At this time, the excited voice of Big Mouth Mob finally rang out again in the stands:

"Oh, audience friends, please forgive me. This unknown dark horse contestant is so unexpected! I wonder if any of my friends have bet on him. That would be really lucky!"

"It is similar to the Originium skills of the Linguang family! This independent knight who is so outstanding and rivals all the knights in the field, yes! He is an independent knight!"

"The code name is——"

"Platinum Knight!!"

Platinum, who was watching the knight competition to kill time during his meal, almost choked himself to death.
