Grand Knight Commander: We've decided to send you to Lungmen to wreak havoc on others

"This kneeling is a tribute to the knights who died on the battlefield, a mourning for these knights who died unjustly."

"All knights of Kazimierz, join me in mourning our heroes, and in mourning those knights who died unjustly."

After the Grand Knight Commander finished speaking, the entire arena fell into a mysterious silence. After a long while, a Campaign Knight was the first to kneel down on one knee and lower his head, following the Grand Knight Commander.

Gradually, after the first one, there was a second, a third... In various places throughout the Grand Knight's Dominion, Campaign Knight began to express their grief in the same manner. Before long, everyone in the entire Grand Knight's Dominion who was watching the execution, whether they were Campaign Knight, Competition Knight, civilians, or Infected, did the same thing under such an atmosphere.

In an instant, a sea of people, all kneeling on one knee like the Grand Knight Commander... Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, this live broadcast was being shown to other countries, including Rhodes Island.

"... As expected of Grand Knight Commander Ioleta, she possesses unwavering pride, yet knows exactly when to bow her head, expressing remorse without losing her authority."

On Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but sigh. Amiya, who had been following the situation in Kazimierz after hearing about Chen Qi's attack, understood Kal'tsit's words and asked:

"Dr. Kal'tsit, are you saying that the Grand Knight Commander is using this method, learning from Victoria's approach, to reunite the people of Kazimierz?"

"It's not just about winning over the hearts and minds of the people of Kazimierz; what she truly wants to unite is the entire Kazimierz." Kal'tsit clearly understood that the Grand Knight Commander, who chose to bow his head at this crucial moment, was not truly admitting his mistake; she was using a strategic retreat to advance.

"The Commercial Federation's conspiracy was probably seen through by the Supervision Committee long ago. The Grand Knight Commander deliberately let this assassination attempt against Director Chen Qi happen so that it would become a recognized fact, allowing her to use this opportunity to pin all the blame on the Commercial Federation and deliver the final blow."

"Just watch, Amiya, today in Kazimierz will be another day of bloodshed... The Commercial Federation will likely be wiped off the land of Kazimierz forever."

As Kal'tsit finished speaking, sure enough, after ten minutes of mourning, the Grand Knight Commander slowly stood up again. Then, she turned her gaze to everyone around her and asked a question with resounding conviction:

"Fellow citizens, these fourteen knights have betrayed their promise, but I stand here today to say that their sins were beyond their control."

"Because we discovered the people behind them! These people, impersonating Silvermane Knights and acting on the orders of the Supervision Committee, assassinated the renowned Sir Chen Qi, attempting to frame the Supervision Committee for everything! It's the same organization!"

"This name is familiar to all citizens of Kazimierz: the Commercial Federation!"

As soon as the Grand Knight Commander finished speaking, another uproar erupted in the crowd. However, before they could react, they saw the Grand Knight Commander take out a thick document from his robes, hold it high so that everyone could see it.

"This is the evidence! The Knights of the Supervision Committee have now obtained this intelligence! It clearly details the crimes committed by the Commercial Federation over the years!"

"This isn't just about the crimes that led to the current plight of these fourteen Campaign Knight. I will read aloud, one by one, all the crimes we've collected!"

"How did these hypocritical merchants gradually erode our nation, dragging our proudest knights into the abyss?"

After saying this, the Grand Knight Commander opened the documents and, facing all the citizens and knights of Kazimierz, read aloud, word by word, the irrefutable evidence of the crimes committed by the Commercial Federation, which the Supervision Committee had collected over the years.

This day will be the day of reckoning. In the past, the Supervision Committee could turn a blind eye to these things because of the support and changes provided by the Commercial Federation. But now, facing these businessmen who have completely lost control and even attempted to seize power in Kazimierz, it is clearly not what they want.

On this day, she will utterly destroy the Commercial Federation! She will devour them with the fury of the people and the knights!

"In April 1038, the Commercial Federation withheld funds allocated by the Supervision Committee to rebuild homes for people in various villages and towns whose homes had been destroyed by Catastrophe. As a result, thousands of civilians were displaced and forced into scavenging, and more than a thousand people became Infected. The funds distributed to each township amounted to less than five thousand Kazimierz coins per village!"

"In December 1039, the Commercial Federation's harsh Supervision Committee allocated funds to rebuild the Grand Knight Commander Plot Zero and improve the situation of the Infected. They also secretly opened an underground Infected Knight Arena, manipulated the rules, and secretly executed a large number of Infected!"

"1040 years..."

The Grand Knight Commander read out all the crimes of the Commercial Federation, starting from the year the Commercial Federation first existed in Kazimierz. All the crimes that had not been dealt with or for which there was no evidence, but which were known to be committed by the Commercial Federation, were read out to the people.

As the Grand Knight Commander revealed one heinous crime after another, the initially shocked people of Kazimierz gradually went from shock to silence, and finally to anger.

In contrast, the people in the Commercial Federation's territory, which had long been under the control of the Campaign Knight Grand Knight's Dominion, were being publicly executed for their crimes. They were sweating profusely, trembling, and had no idea what to do.

Today, the top brass of the Commercial Federation feel as if a million pairs of hateful and angry eyes are staring at them, not just from the Campaign Knight, but also from the Competition Knight they themselves have invested in, all glaring at them with the same look.

"In 1051, during the Battle of the Four Emperors! The Commercial Federation embezzled medical and logistical resources, deliberately using substandard tourniquets and medicines, Campaign Knight on the front lines to suffer uncontrollable injuries, resulting in thousands of casualties!"

"Whoosh!" XN

However, after the Grand Knight Commander announced the final crime, the Grand Knight's Dominion was in an uproar. All the people of Kazimierz, knights, Infected... regardless of their status, were enraged by the countless crimes committed each day.

Seeing this, the Grand Knight Commander understood that the time was ripe. Standing on high ground, facing the angry crowd, she drew her longsword, raised it high, and shouted:

"People of Kazimierz, the Commercial Federation's crimes have long been intolerable to the Supervision Committee! But we have compromised time and time again because they have provided too many ordinary people with jobs to make a living. We cannot abandon the interests of the people of Kazimierz just because the interests of the Knights are harmed."

"But now, the Commercial Federation, in collusion with the National Assembly, is attempting to murder Director Chen Qi and pin the crime on all of us in Kazimierz! They intend to send us to face the enraged Sarkaz, as well as Victoria, Laterano..."

"Tell me, do we still need to tolerate this?!"

"Absolutely not!" XN

"Can we still tolerate these insects sucking our flesh and blood, disgracing our chivalry?!"

"Absolutely not!!" XN

As Grand Knight Commander Ioleta finished speaking, she was met with angry roars from everyone. The Grand Knight Commander then turned her gaze to the fourteen Campaign Knight beside her, observing their angry and restless eyes, before asking another question:

"Knights—are you still willing to fight for Kazimierz one more time?"

"--If it can send those bastards to hell, we'd gladly die for it!"

At that moment, a knight spoke up, and the Grand Knight Commander Campaign Knight nodded with satisfaction, his longsword flashing across the battlefield.

The next moment, all the chains binding the fourteen Campaign Knight were severed. Facing these Campaign Knights, reborn, both surprised and bewildered, the Grand Knight Commander raised his longsword, pointed it in the direction of the Commercial Federation, and roared:

"Now, knights! Take up your weapons! Don your armor! Kazimierz needs your strength once more to Protection our honor, our homeland!"

"Follow me, charge at the Commercial Federation! Let's reclaim everything we've lost!"

"Kill!!" XN

As the Grand Knight Commander's words fell, at that moment, the people of Kazimierz, knights, Infected... all ignited with the flames of revenge, regardless of their identities or the vast differences between them in the past, all roared like ravenous wolves after receiving this command.

And they were heading towards only one destination: the Commercial Federation, which had oppressed each of them and was now the source of all evil in Kazimierz!

"... It's all over."

On television, facing the knights and citizens surging wildly towards the Commercial Federation, Kal'tsit silently closed her eyes and said softly:

"From this day forward, there will be no more Commercial Federation on this land... The knights of Kazimierz may have truly solidified their so-called 'glory' this time."

"Another country will be reborn after this madness... I must say, no wonder it's director Chen Qi?"

Kal'tsit knew very well that if Kazimierz Chen Qi hadn't exposed the financial shady dealings in "Yes, Prime Minister," causing a credit crisis for the Kazimierz Commercial Federation Commercial Federation, it probably wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.

Even now, Kazimierz can wipe out all the evil in one go and turn a new page entirely because Chen Qi was attacked. The source of all this can be said to be caused by Chen Qi, or indirectly caused by him.

Otherwise, it's likely that Kazimierz wouldn't have experienced such a dramatic change even in twenty or thirty years. And now, Kazimierz has even paid a lower price than Victoria, cleaning up the mess before everything even erupted.

"Victoria, Kazimierz, and the Sarkaz... all have been reborn because of director Chen Qi..."

"Now, I'm afraid all the countries on this land have begun to fear it. Director Chen Qi's reputation will likely make people tremble at the mere mention of his name in the future."

Kal'tsit's guess was correct. Now, after the upheaval in Kazimierz, the only ones connected to Chen Qi, besides Columbia, are the Great Yan, who plan to make good use of Chen Qi's abilities.

Now, Kazimierz's situation has made the Yan Emperor, who had just believed that Chen Qi would not cause any more trouble, uneasy... This is no longer a question of whether he is willing to use him, but whether he dares to use him!

Chapter 185: Grand Knight Commander: We've decided to send you to Lungmen to wreak havoc on others.

"Yes, as you can see! The Commercial Federation of Kazimierz has been hit by a massive riot! Hundreds of its high-ranking Commercial Federation are now completely surrounded by the citizens and knights of Kazimierz!"

"As we can see, behind me are not only angry civilians and Campaign Knight, but also many Competition Knight sponsored by the Commercial Federation, who have joined this campaign against the Commercial Federation. The situation is now out of control!"

The next day, Chen Qi and others, who were filming in Columbia, were hurriedly informed of Kazimierz's whereabouts by Vina.

Because everyone is filming within the scroll of the sunset, time flows much slower inside the scroll than outside. Filming for " To the To the Moon" has been in full swing for some time now, and everything is going very smoothly. With Chen Qi, who has now delivered "Master-Level Acting," playing the main role of John, the progress has undoubtedly accelerated considerably.

Just as Chen Qi had expected, Alina relaxed a lot after partnering with him. Although she was a little nervous during the first day or two of filming, she quickly grasped the essence of the character River.

The two roles that most demanded acting skills have already been settled, and with Xi also handling the most troublesome set design, Chen Qi's progress is naturally rapid.

Now, after witnessing Chen Qi's "true form," perhaps because of the illusion of Chen Qi's Aslan Feranmut, Vina felt that Chen Qi might be related to their Aslan clan. As a result, Vina worked even more diligently on the set, bringing news about Kazimierz to Chen Qi and the others.

It was only then that Chen Qi remembered... that the Silvermane Knights had said they would give him an answer within a week... and the person who reported this "answer" to Chen Qi and the others was Eureka, whom Chen Qi knew very well.

"Hasn't she been expelled from Kazimierz yet?" This was Chen Qi's thought as he watched the pre-recorded video, surprised that Eureka was still appearing on screen. However, the content Eureka was reporting had clearly conveyed enough information.

Without a doubt, the Commercial Federation has been sacrificed. Their crimes are too numerous to count: colluding with the National Assembly, plotting a rebellion, attacking Kazimierz's formidable enemies, and attempting to frame the Supervision Committee... Any one of these crimes is enough to completely destroy the Commercial Federation's leadership.

Grand Knight Commander Ioleta adopted the most inhumane, but undoubtedly most effective, method to vent the long-simmering public anger in Kazimierz and release all the pent-up resentment at once.

Most of these merchants didn't even have time to escape, and without a trial, they died tragically at the hands of the angry mob and the Campaign Knight. Many of them also died under the weapons of the Competition Knight they had invested in.

Clearly, regardless of any original sins, whether it was the Commercial Federation or not, their actions, once exposed, destined them to be unforgivable. The groups they offended were extremely diverse, from the highest levels to the Infected, even their own trained Competition Knight hated them to the core. It's conceivable how corrupt they had become.

"And after that, Grand Knight Commander Ioleta announced the trial of all the senior executives of the Commercial Federation, and all assets, shares, and other businesses of the Commercial Federation were placed under the jurisdiction of the Kazimierz Supervision Committee." Eureka's recording was still ongoing, and as her voice fell, the camera switched, and she appeared in the Supervision Committee.

And now, the person standing before Eureka is none other than the Grand Knight Commander Ioleta, who led this dramatic change.

"Thank you so much, Grand Knight Commander. I caused such a huge mess before, and you refused all interviews from television reporters, yet you agreed to be interviewed by me..."

"It's alright, Miss Eureka. We also need to thank you for the dramatic changes in Kazimierz. If it weren't for your live broadcast back then, which allowed our people to discover clues about the Commercial Federation, none of this would have happened."

Facing a trembling Eureka, the Grand Knight Commander, appearing on camera again, looked radiant and showed no signs of the frantic state he had been in the past few months. He also seemed much more relaxed during Eureka's interview.

"So, what is the content of your interview, Miss Eureka?"

"Ah, yes, the first question is, after the high-ranking officials of the Commercial Federation have all been tried, how will the Supervision Committee handle the matter?" Eureka quickly regained her professionalism and then addressed several questions that were of greatest concern to Kazimierz and the outside world:

For example, will the knighthood system be reinstated in Kazimierz? Will the status of the knightly class in Kazimierz return to its former level?

"--In this regard, I must say that although the Commercial Federation has committed heinous crimes, we should not completely deny the wealth, systems, and policies they left behind."

However, Grand Knight Commander Ioleta, regarding this issue that was of utmost concern to all the people of Kazimierz, uttered words completely contrary to those concerning the campaign against the Commercial Federation, saying:

"Undeniably, the Commercial Federation solved Kazimierz's long-standing financial problems. Their influx improved the lives of the people of Kazimierz and led to Kazimierz's rapid development."

"The Commercial Federation ultimately met such an end because of their lack of regulation. Now, all their businesses will be under the unified supervision of the Kazimierz Supervision Committee, and our parliament will also establish a special department to ensure that all of the Commercial Federation's businesses continue to be developed as part of the Kazimierz state assets."

"In simpler terms, we will retain most of the institutions left by the Commercial Federation, including the Knights' Tournament—but Kazimierz will not only include the Knights' Tournament as part of Kazimierz's culture and economy."

"Therefore, we, the entire Supervision Committee, have made a decision—a better decision for Kazimierz today."

At this point, the Grand Knight Commander slowly stood up in front of Eureka's camera and then announced to Kazimierz and everyone else that Kazimierz would be embarking on a new path.

"The Knights' Arena will continue to develop under the supervision of our Supervision Committee, and we will build it into a stage that is not just for Competition Knight, but a stage that represents honor, advancement, and proof."

"From this day forward, there will be no more distinctions between Competition Knight and Campaign Knight. Every citizen of Kazimierz, whether an ordinary person or Infected, will have the opportunity to become a knight."

"Those who have chosen this path will not be stepping onto the arena, but onto the Battle of Honor! There, you will face all the possibilities that Campaign Knight will face—fierce beasts, enemies, even rivals who are also competitors, or even Campaign Knight are posing as traitors."

"We will simulate real battles in the arena, battles far more brutal and severe than the knightly duels. There will be no outside help, or rather, the only outside help you will receive is the cheers you can hear!"

"And based on the performance of all the knights who participate in this brutal competition, we will help you achieve ideals and values that go beyond simply becoming Competition Knight."

"The Commercial Federation can bestow upon you immense wealth, and so can we, for this is the treatment every hero deserves!"

"And we will give you the honors that the Commercial Federation cannot, because this is also the treatment that every hero deserves!"

"A new era is dawning. If Kazimierz wants to survive in this era, then each of us must become a true knight!"

Under Eureka's recording equipment, the Grand Knight Commander solemnly declared the new path that Kazimierz would adhere to. Naturally, Grand Knight Commander words drew the attention of many on Chen Qi's side, and Młynar, unusually, nodded in agreement, saying:

"As expected of the Grand Knight Commander... She changed the concept of the arena, retaining most of the benefits it brought, but reinterpreting it to make the arena's significance extraordinary."

"In this way, not only will the jobs of the large number of Kazimierz people who rely on this for their livelihood be preserved, but the industrial chain that the Commercial Federation has accumulated over the years can also be transferred to the state with almost no impact..."

"Even the knights won't object... This is perhaps the least turbulent way. After today, Kazimierz will return to stability."

Muttering to himself like this, Młynar slowly closed his eyes, his tone devoid of joy or sorrow, as if everything in Kazimierz was no longer relevant to him.

However, judging from the slight smile on Młynar's face, for Kazimierz at this moment, breaking free from the constraints of the Commercial Federation, resolving most of the problems with minimal disruption, and ensuring the interests of the people and the honor of the knights... is the best possible outcome.

As for honor... compared to the current well-being of the people of Kazimierz, the honor of a knight seems insignificant. What honor is more important than protecting the interests of the weak?

After saying that, a fleeting look of relief crossed Młynar's face, and the invisible pressure she felt from leading the Nearl Family away from Kazimierz seemed to lessen considerably.

While Chen Qi and the others were still listening to the news from Kazimierz outside the painting, inside the painting, Saria, who had already finished her makeup and was ready to film, poked her head out and immediately said to Chen Qi, who was not far away:

"Director Chen Qi, everyone is ready, can we continue filming?"

"Here you are—I must say, Miss Saria, I thought I was a workaholic enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more competitive than me."

Currently, the filming progress of Chen Qi and others in the movie is quite fast. However, Saria herself seems too eager to use this movie to make Kristen see the error of his ways, so she is even more strict with herself.

In her spare time, she studies scripts and hones her acting skills. She even frequently consults with Chen Qi, who has excellent acting skills, to help her portray Doctor Neil Watts, a character who is not very serious but is also very emotional and persistent.

During filming, Saria was usually the most hardworking member of the crew. She would even take the initiative to design more reasonable working hours for everyone on set. With Saria's meticulous assistance, the crew's efficiency did indeed improve significantly.

However, this greatly displeased Nian. She was unhappy with Saria, an outsider, interfering with the production team's arrangements. Of course, more importantly...

"If she keeps interfering like this, I'll lose my job as the technical advisor!"

"Is this woman here to cause trouble?! She doesn't even know how to film, so why does she think she knows more about shooting angles and editing than me, the technical director? Isn't she a researcher?"

Clearly, Saria, the all-around warrior, has given Nian a tremendous sense of crisis, to the point that Nian no longer allows Saria to provide guidance to various departments within the production crew. This, however, has only made Saria more anxious...

"Then let's go back, Vina. The task of delivering the supplies into the painting will be yours. Xi doesn't want to do these trivial things."

"Leave it to me, teacher!"

Now, Vina is completely obedient to Chen Qi's every arrangement. Vina is almost certain that Chen Qi, this hidden "Feranmut," may have some connection with her ancestors, the Aslan clan who came from Sargon. Because Chen Qi's "Feranmut appearance" is clearly that of an Aslan beast!

Considering the dramatic changes Chen Qi brought to Victoria, and Victoria's current steady upward trend, Vina couldn't help but think that all of this was deliberately done by Chen Qi, a move to destroy Victoria's current state in order to establish something new!
