Hello, Arknights

Chapter 325 Interception

The Columbia Ocean series was created by Iberian designers from Raytheon Industries. It was a project to develop city-breaking spear-type weapons with the primary goal of portability and load-reducing. It was basically successful during the development of the third generation, but not enough to be officially put into use as a high-intensity weapon. After the designer accidentally obtained alchemical fragments from the black market in his hometown, he tried to restore the technology in this project. In the end, it was abandoned because there were too many missing parts, but he was inspired to make certain technological breakthroughs, thus developing the fourth-generation city-breaking spear, which initially possessed the required strength.

Compared with traditional siege spears, this weapon is more specialized in close combat breakthroughs and breaking down obstacles, but the grenade system was removed. Due to the lack of suitable accessories, it was later traded to Victoria as a trial product along with other newly developed weapons. Later, the designer had a breakthrough in thinking, and the long-range attack system was successful in other close combat weapon projects. Out of personal persistence, he wanted to perfect his previous work, and coincidentally, a friend of Longmen returned the damaged weapon to him by chance.

As a result, the repaired and advanced fifth-generation city-breaking spear returned to Ling Dengxian's hands and showed its edge again.

……

"Platinum, the location of the Flawed Light Knight has been synchronized with you. It's the tavern she frequents most. Terror Martin, Monique will act with you and be responsible for intercepting any possible actions of Mainna. Succeed as soon as possible. After controlling the Flawed Light Knight, wait and see the attitude of Lin Guang. We will inform you of the outcome of her life or death."

"…If something unexpected happens, the first priority is to kill Maria Lin Guang." When Roy said this, he knew that his superiors needed Platinum to play a final role - as the "price" to pay for this operation.

No matter how he conveyed the instructions, this sentence could not be "deleted".

"...I understand." Platinum was very anxious now. She ran through the dark alley without having to identify the direction. She knew her position with every step she took. But when she left the arena, she heard an uproar from the audience. Big Mouth Mob exclaimed that Platinum Knight's "escape without a fight" was like a page of the book she wanted to say goodbye to, which gradually burned up.

She wanted to keep this page, so she tore this relationship out of the notebook that was about to be destroyed. She begged him not to catch up...

Since he stopped her from confessing, he must be hoping to preserve this "pure" relationship, right?

"Please, please..." Bai Jin was not that stupid. His subsequent actions were not perfect, and Ling Dengxian's performance obviously guessed her identity. Could this tacit understanding continue like this? Just stare at this aquatic plant with a flower bud carefully stretched its roots in the water through the cracked transparent glass bottle, okay?

Its future is already extinguished as the water level drops. Don't be stubborn and try to break the remaining glass...

It would be more accurate to say that Xinteleya was escaping from Ling Dengxian's gaze rather than rushing to hunt.

Must the story of the Platinum Lord and the Platinum Knight turn into the most clichéd battle of weapons? This was the kind of plot she hated the most.

What she didn't think deeply about was that she and Monique were acting together, but what about Roy?

Ling Dengxian stopped in his tracks, and a flash of dark blue deflected an almost silent arrow. The power from the arrow made him feel a sharp pain in his palm. He glanced around and found that he had already chased Bai Jin out of the central city. Because today was the main competition of the Knights' Competition, there were fewer people.

The arrow he blocked was stuck in the nearby wall, reflecting the dark blue metallic glow.

Before he could think more, the second sharp arrow tore through his eyes, and as his pupils suddenly shrank, it brushed his shoulder as he dodged, leaving a trail of blood.

Ling Dengxian understood that the person who came was the Qingjin Leader of the Wuzhou Alliance, who was more dangerous than the hesitant Baijin Leader. Now this rumored killer was aiming at him.

He leapt onto the ground and immediately made a forward sprint. The enemy was in the dark while he was in the clear. He couldn't even confirm the opponent's location. The speed of Qingjin's arrow was too fast. If he couldn't find his position, he would find it difficult to move forward. The opponent's intention was also very obvious, and it seemed that he wanted to stop him.

After confirming the direction from which the arrow came, he leaned forward, supported himself with his elbows, turned over and hid behind the cover.

"Oh? This agility and reaction speed, aren't they just for show?" Although the Platinum Knight had defeated Rusty Bronze, his performance was no different from Rusty Bronze in Lapis Lazuli's eyes. But now he took out weapons other than intelligence and successfully resolved the attack on him. The most important thing was that he did not flee like a panicked beast. Instead, Roy narrowed his eyes and reassessed the degree of danger of the Platinum Knight.

However, contrary to Ling Dengxian's guess, Roy did not fire the first arrow. His purpose was to use the Platinum Knight as a lure to see if he could lure out some potential people, such as... Ikaros.

Roy cannot and has no reason to achieve this goal by attacking Platinum, and his intention to do so would be too obvious. It is not impossible that Ikaros would choose to watch Platinum die.

And if he intervened in this battle that seemed to be an attempt to intercept Platinum, who had a close personal relationship with him, Ikaros might not be able to guess that this was actually a killing spree set up against him.

In this street where the Platinum Knight couldn't see, there were three teams on standby, including Roy's own direct team. Once Ikaros appeared, they would quickly lock onto his position. Monique, who was cooperating with the Platinum Knight's operation, only brought her own direct team and a reserve team.

In the turmoil at Plot Zero, the team that originally belonged to Ikaros disappeared without a trace. After these days of investigation, it is basically certain that Ikaros took them away, and he did not track down any of them. According to Ikaros's character, he did not want his subordinates to continue to participate in his revenge action out of guilt over the years, so he may have sent them out of the city.

"Boss Roy! We've been discovered by the Platinum Knight!" The urgent message from the communication terminal brought Roy's thoughts back to reality. He was stunned. Although he was thinking about things and strategic deployment, his eyes did not leave the bunker where the target was hiding. Moreover, the opponent's mobility seemed a little too fast!

Once again, he misjudged the threat posed by his target. He finally realized that this guy was not a newborn beast of burden who grew up in a greenhouse and stood in the middle of a dangerous stage relying on his powerful talents and arrogance.

The Platinum Knight, Bai Pingfan, is a hunter like him.

Ling Dengxian did not try to break out from behind the building's cover. Since the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light, he chose to break into the building and broke through Qingjin's lock through the corridor connecting the building to other areas. When he jumped out of the window of the residential area, which was someone else's living room, into another corridor, he discovered that there were other ambushing Wuzhuan League teams. The result of the unexpected encounter was self-evident since he took the initiative.

"Bunuo, let's go. It's time to clear a way for Ling." Two figures heard the roar of the city-breaking spears and took action.
