Captain?

But...

"Talulah ..."

Ch'en Hui-chieh gritted her teeth, beheaded the enemy in front of her, and then decisively looked up at the steel ceiling that was gradually disappearing.

This is simply irrational, even insane.

Anyone with a sound mind and a sense of self-interest would not make such an extreme choice.

But she knew that Talulah... her sister, was actually capable of doing such a thing.

And the goal... is revenge!

The current ruler of Lungmen is Wei Yenwu, who has a younger sister who is the mother of Ch'en Hui-chieh and Talulah.

Originally, she was to marry Edward, Wei Yenwu's sworn brother, and they had a daughter Talulah... But later, for reasons unknown to Chen, the man named Edward died, and her mother was forced to marry her father and give birth to her.

Chen didn't know how to judge the parents who gave her life, but she knew that in her childhood memories, her loving mother was never happy, and her father... was just a cowardly man.

Later, Talulah was taken away by a man, and Wei Yenwu, knowing all this, let it happen.

This made Chen hate this uncle even more...

Previously, she didn't understand why Wei Yenwu was doing everything he could to prevent her from participating in this activity aimed at Reunion Movement.

But later, after learning that Talulah was the leader of the Reunion Movement, she gradually understood many things.

With the current information and intelligence network, she couldn't judge what kind of person Wei Yenwu was, nor did she know whether she felt resentment or pity towards him.

The only thing that's certain is... I have to stop Talulah!

Whether it's for Lungmen... or for Talulah...

She can't keep making mistakes like this...

"We're retreating!"

Despite the scorching heat, Chen made a decisive judgment.

The team members standing nearby hesitated.

But Chen calmly chose to leave.

She knew that since Talulah had made such a choice, it meant that she had no intention of turning back.

It's impossible to find a way to stop this mobile platform here.

The only way is to rejoin Rhodes Island, find Talulah, and seek a solution from her!

"Bang--!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The Doctor was repeatedly ambushed by Guerrilla Troops led by Patriot, only to be narrowly saved by Rosmontis, who was standing nearby.

Pale sweat beaded on her face, her wide eyes constantly observing the situation on the battlefield...

Oh no... terribly awful.

She made many amazing, even miraculous, orders on the battlefield, but she was not omnipotent.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

Even if she had the ability to turn the impossible into reality, she wouldn't be able to solve anything at this moment.

The reason is simple... the difference in strength between the two sides is too great...

On Rhodes Island's side, there were only a few Elite Operator, plus Kal'tsit and Amiya.

On the other side was a complete guerrilla unit!

Not to mention there's also a Patriot that's completely over-the-top!

Even with Kal'tsit and Amiya joining forces, they could only temporarily hold their own against the enemy.

Not to mention their bizarre Originium Arts.

Each time she used it, it sent chills down her spine.

Reason told her that the most appropriate order to give at this moment was to retreat... because facing such a powerful opponent, they needed to gather sufficient troops before launching a counterattack.

But the reality did not allow her to make such a judgment.

Because if they chose to retreat, Chen and the others who had risked entering the energy distribution center would undoubtedly die.

She couldn't do that.

At that moment, for the first time, she felt how powerless she truly was...

She was a commander... but only a commander.

Her physical condition didn't even allow her to pick up a weapon and say the word "fight" to any enemy in front of her. She could lead Rhodes Island out of trouble time and time again during attacks, but when outnumbered, she was just a weak burden that needed Rhodes Island's protection.

Each operator can only use their maximum ability to protect themselves...

The Doctor pursed his lips and clenched his fists in resentment.

Meanwhile, Amiya, who had just barely recovered from her weakness, looked at the black legion before her, which showed no signs of weakening, and gritted her teeth in resentment.

She subconsciously looked down at her palms... and there, quietly, hung rings on her hands...

Each finger has...

"..."

"Don't take it off, Amiya!"

Kal'tsit, who was standing nearby, noticed Amiya's thoughts almost immediately, and she reprimanded her without any mercy... This was a harsh tone that she rarely used on Amiya.

But...

"Don't take it off!"

This was her promise. Amiya was not yet able to control that power, and if she forced it, it could very likely cause some kind of irreversible disaster to the other person's body!

That's the one thing she absolutely cannot allow!

"But... Dr. Kal'tsit!"

"I'll take care of all this!"

Kal'tsit's tone was terrifyingly forceful.

She turned her head and stared intently at the tall monster in front of her.

Although the distorted and terrifying face was mechanical, it was actually quite similar to the original body.

The Wendigo, a cannibalistic monster, is a creature that is extremely feared even among the Sarkaz, a race teeming with monsters.

The dark green monster turned back from the battle and stood guard tightly beside Kal'tsit.

But it still falls slightly short when compared to Patriot.

Seeing this, the Patriot did not rashly pursue them.

The shield that was originally in his hand was now missing several pieces... Even he had to admit that the operators Rhodes Island brought this time were an incomparably powerful group of warriors.

But that's all.

Above the sky, the moon rose quietly once again, without anyone noticing...

Chapter 183 Captain?

The power of Patriot exceeded everyone's imagination.

Even Kal'tsit had to admit that, in her experience, Patriot was among the top tier of people.

Putting aside those beings outside the established order, Patriot are undoubtedly the top warriors on Terra.

It could even be said that if the effects of Oripathy hadn't been greater than their strength, they might not have been able to hold on until now.

She had considered launching the final plan more than once... but not yet. Amiya was not yet ready to walk alone, and the Doctor... she didn't trust him right now.

Continuing to fight would only deplete their own strength.

Taking a deep breath, Kal'tsit stared at the monster in front of her and spoke again.

"Bocscar, what exactly do you want to do?"

"..."

Patriot didn't reply; in fact, he paused for a moment when Kal'tsit mentioned the name Bocscar.

Because it's been far too long since anyone has called me by that name.

But after a moment of silence, he simply continued speaking.

"Leading the Reunion Movement..."

"... But that's not right!"

Amiya struggled to get up from the Doctor's arms, clutching Doctor clothes tightly to support her weak body as she gritted her teeth and stared at the terrifying monster-like man before her.

"The Reunion Movement... will only lead the Infected to the abyss!"

"..."

"You've seen that too, haven't you? The Reunion Movement's atrocities will only make the situation for the Infected on Terra even more extreme... Even if you succeed today, you won't survive; the entire Terra will be your enemy... Is this really what you want?!"

Amiya tried to persuade the enormous monster before her, but all she received in return was the Patriot's cold indifference.

"Are you trying to convince me?"

"Yes!"

Amiya raised her head and spoke earnestly.

"What did you use to persuade me?"

"Use the Istina!"

"And why do you dare to assert that what you say is the Istina?"

"This..."

"Cautus, your race, always makes you take things for granted."

Patriot looked at Amiya in front of him.

Although he was very young, the Patriot did not look down on his opponent because of that.

At least, the battle he just fought made him realize one thing.

This black rabbit, which looks like a child, is a genius in Originium Arts with enormous potential.

Perhaps if given some time and experience, she will be able to say something that allows her to listen quietly.

But she's still too young right now.

The Lord and Rhodes Island protected her so well... that he simply couldn't understand why these people were so insistent on having a child as their leader.

In his eyes, Amiya was just a naive and delusional child named Caster...

Just like... FrostNova...

Patriot gradually fell silent.

He remembered that not long ago, he had talked to the other party about Talulah.

They knew that Talulah harbored an evil soul within her... a venomous serpent that could not be slain.

Patriot had mentioned to FrostNova more than once that he was going to take action against that monster...

But FrostNova kept stopping her.

Perhaps FrostNova never knew that the only reason Patriot hadn't taken action against the now-mad Talulah was that his daughter still believed in her, believed that she was still Talulah and hadn't been kidnapped by that evil soul.

But this time... he had to admit that Talulah had gone too far.

So he sought out the mysterious Queen of the Banshee Court and asked for her help.

He even went so far as to use the Umbilical Cord that had helped him resist Oripathy.

On one hand, FrostNova's body truly could no longer hold on, and if there was anyone in this world who could save her, it would only be that one person.
