Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"I heard that the situation inside the venue is quite dangerous, so only a small number of medical personnel were left outside."

Several people lay at the doctor's feet, who, despite hearing her explanation, still raised their weapons to obstruct her progress.

After she finished doing these things, no one stopped her from going to the outer arena.

The chaos happened very suddenly.

The person in charge did not have the time to pay attention to whether the infected people in the arena could leave the venue.

At this moment, the infected contestants are trapped in the huge arena, looking bewildered and helpless in the face of the chaos outside.

The doctor arrived at a fenced gate leading inside.

There is also a high-voltage current flowing through it, which is a "safety" measure to prevent anyone from being cowardly and wanting to escape during the competition.

The doctor raised his hand, making a chop gesture.

Then, without touching the railing, it slid across its surface several times like a snake.

"Crackling and snapping..."

At the same moment he withdrew his hand, the railing disintegrated into tiny, short bars, leaving only arcs of electricity that couldn't touch his body flickering near the door frame.

The infected people suddenly noticed a figure completely covered in protective clothing walking towards one of the entrances in the stadium.

It has to be said that a PhD student who approaches others without saying a word while wearing this outfit does indeed exude an indescribable sense of pressure.

Few people would willingly approach an infected person whom others would avoid at all costs.

Unless that person intends to do something bad to the infected, such as beating you up and taking you away without explanation—at least that's the case in Kazimierz.

The infected contestants, armed with weapons, watched the approaching, mysterious figure warily.

But when they raised their weapons to point them at him, the doctor stopped, placed his hand on his hood, and slowly took it off, revealing his rarely seen handsome face with a gentle expression.

Under the spotlight, she slowly reached out her hand to the infected people hiding in the shadows, and asked in a clear and gentle voice:

Friends, do you need any 'help'?

[Main Text] Terra's World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament. Debate Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Eight: Deeply Engraved Fear

Spokesperson Charne—who was in charge of all matters during the Special Championship—was essentially representing the will of the Knights Association, the Business Federation, and the National Assembly.

Perhaps to some of the still arrogant knights, he is not worthy of respect at all, but in the eyes of most people, he is still an unassailable figure of superiority.

Despite having attained such status and power, Charné was perplexed that the Commercial Union and the National Assembly had allowed Rhodes Island's "unreasonable request"—he was still far from being a true member of the privileged class.

Even if he didn't know the reason, as the person in charge of the Special Championship, he naturally had to be extremely vigilant about the movements of these outsiders.

During the game, there are many experienced staff members to help manage the affairs on the field. Whether it's suppressing newcomers who don't follow the rules or recruiting outstanding Cavaliers, they can be entrusted with the task.

The shareholders of those companies, for their own interests, will also not allow anything too outrageous to happen in the Major, and will therefore use their own methods.

But things are different off the field. He had already arranged for enough people to monitor the actions of those people from Rhodes Island out of caution.

From the lowest-ranking mounted police officers to competitive riders without a race schedule, and then to some experts who are even more skilled in tracking and investigation.

For security reasons, Charné has already deployed enough informants in the area.

They became wary when Tomat flew rapidly through the sky because of Bardak's aura.

The ensuing tremors threw them into disarray, and the sudden gathering of Rhodes Island personnel at an underground arena prompted them to immediately inform Charne.

—A hollow space running through the interior of the mobile platform connecting three city-states and a large knightly territory allowed all the border-guarding knights to gather.

But they were all dumbfounded.

Because it wasn't some unknown, oversized weapon that hit Kazimir from the outside, but rather it was fired from the inside out.

"Could this be Kazimir's latest weapon!?"

Some of the conquering knights had already reached the land outside the moving platform, gazing up at the cave created by the melting—they did not believe that Kazimierz had been invaded by such a powerful force.

The next order has not yet arrived, and these knights, who are arguably the most martial-spirited in all of Kazimierz, can only wait anxiously.

Outside the Infected Arena, in the area surrounded by numerous temporarily dispatched operators from Rhodes Island, another ring of fully armed knights formed.

The silver-white armor was engraved with the flag pattern of Kazimierz.

They are the city's law enforcement force, second only to the conquering knights—the "Knights of Order."

They have also undergone relatively traditional martial arts selection and formal training, and possess armed forces and law enforcement powers far exceeding those of regular mounted police.

Among them, there were many knights leading their teams.

This is the first time such a grand setup has been implemented in the Special Championship, which has been held smoothly for more than 20 editions.

It was Charny who informed them and dispatched them using the powers of the National Assembly.

"Of all times, they had to pick a time like this to cause trouble..."

Charn's displeasure was obvious.

He looked at the Rhodes Island personnel on the building, dressed in various outfits and carrying different weapons, then glanced at the arena whose entrances and exits were completely blocked, and his gaze immediately fell on an Order Knight returning from that direction.

"They had no intention of attacking us, but they wouldn't let us in either, saying they were conducting a rescue operation and that interference was prohibited!"

The knight reported, and judging from his tone, he clearly doubted Rhodes Island's confidence in saying this, repeating it as if it were a boring joke.

Charné, upon hearing this, shared the same thought, but when he gave the order, there was even more anger involved:

"This is outrageous! Tell them this is Kazimierz! Openly causing trouble here is a serious crime, especially during the Major!!!"

"Do we need to use a megaphone to make this announcement?"

"The accompanying knight asked."

"No need! A group of 'unidentified' armed men have occupied public facilities in Qazimir, and they're even openly pointing weapons at us from the outside. What's there to talk about! Let those war knights lead the charge!"

That saves me a lot of trouble.

Charné wasn't actually too worried about these people causing any significant trouble.

Because if things escalate, he will have a legitimate reason to drive all these people away or detain them, which is better than a large group of people secretly making trouble on his own turf.

This handle is quite good now.

As for the sudden earthquake, we'll talk about that later—Charne is still unaware of the cause and effect.

In his view, the most important thing is to eliminate Rhodes Island as a destabilizing factor and allow the Major to continue.

The knights received their orders and, one by one, began preparing their forces with a reluctant attitude, arranging assault formations and countermeasures against Rhodes Island operators outside.

Their negative attitude stemmed from two reasons: firstly, they disliked being bossed around by Charne, a lackey of the business alliance; secondly, they were more concerned about the earthquake, as there was still no news from the border knights and they were unsure of the situation.

Accompanying a lackey to raid the infected arena in order to stabilize the wicked knightly arena is far less important than the true safety of Kazimierz.

"Alright, guys, put on your protective gear. It's not clean inside. If you don't want to get infected, wrap yourselves up so tightly that not even a mosquito can get into your armor!"

A knight of conquest reminded the knights of order behind him.

This veteran warrior is a formidable one, and in principle, such a veteran should continue to play a key role in the Knights of Conquest, relying on his rich combat experience and years of accumulated strength, and like other Knights of Conquest, should mainly operate in the defensive area near the city's borders.

However, an incident that occurred recently at an international summit where he served as a bodyguard alongside high-ranking officials from Kasimir left him with a lingering mental block, making it difficult for him to take up arms for a time.

Although the status of war knights was not as high as that of traditional or emerging nobles, the military achievements they earned through blood and sweat still gave them a certain status and prestige. This is why he was not immediately dismissed from his post and forced to retire after that incident.

Now he has become the temporary leader in charge of maintaining order in the city, and is at Charné's beck and call.

The contrast before and after was huge, but it could be considered a not-too-unlucky arrangement. Of course, a large part of the reason was not that the higher-ups had no reason to feel sympathy for the veteran—it was simply because they also understood what the fear that made the veteran unable to pick up a weapon felt like.

"Sigh, I'll just treat it as a chance to recuperate. I am afraid of that person, but I'm not so afraid that I would back down in the face of a group of thugs."

The knight sighed and thought to himself.

He then drew his sword, raised it high with his hand, which was barely trembling, and swung it forward, about to give the order to charge.

As an assault team, they will, under the cover of friendly forces, engage in fire from the upper floors and then storm the arena from the front...

"Um...?"

However, the smooth blade of his sword reflected a figure on the nearby building.

The knight froze, unable to utter the command to charge. His body suddenly began to tremble. After a long pause, he finally turned to the greenhorns preparing to charge and shouted:

"Retreat immediately!!!"

[Main Text] Terra's World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament. Debate Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Nine: You're Just a Runner, Aren't You?

"Ahem, everyone, you understand what I'm saying, right?"

"What I'm about to say, you can simply nod or shake your head."

The outer area of ​​the Infected Arena was packed with people.

But that wasn't due to the crowding of spectators in the stands.

Instead, a large number of infected people were concentrated on the field where they would normally have to risk their lives to earn a chance to survive.

They were once forced to fight.

Now, they can make choices based on their own will.

In the center of the crowd was an open space.

The doctor stood on a high place—and the pile of objects that created this difference in height was a group of armed personnel from the arena who wanted to attack the doctor.

They could only groan occasionally, unable to offer any protest to the doctor sitting on them.

The visual impact of such behavior was enough to intimidate all the infected contestants present.

"Whether you were forced to come, had to sign a contract, or risked your life on the field, I only ask one question: Did you come to Rhodes Island to obtain the right to survive in a better way?"

"If you haven't signed a contract, just come with us if you want to."

"If you've signed a contract and sold yourself out, and you want to come back, I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract for you."

The bold speech, coupled with a face so different from his imposing manner, momentarily stunned the infected people present.

They made some noise among themselves.

Some people were moved and developed some expectations and hopes.

Some people were suspicious, worried that these strange people who had suddenly barged into the arena might have some other conspiracy.
