The Black Snake Must Die! / The Blades Arrive
"'Sarkaz swear word,' you old woman, let me go! I'm going to blow her up!"
"Um... Miss W, the Doctor is very important to me... to us, so this is not possible~"
"I remember you, little rabbit. It's no use pleading with me. This guy must die!"
"Shut up, W. You are not our enemy right now. A much greater disaster is brewing, and we don't have much time to deal with the problems left over from the past. But if you insist on fighting us, then I will end your voice here."
Amidst the commotion, Kal'tsit unceremoniously had the giant monster beside her tie W up tightly and hang him to the side.
Noticing that the other person was emotionally agitated and was still verbally attacking her in Sarkaz- like manner, she became somewhat impatient, grabbed a strip of cloth, rolled it up, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Even after being hung on a telephone pole, W remained agitated and refused to stop attacking.
Meanwhile, the relaxed group began to discuss the current situation.
Rhodes Island quickly learned that after the Twin Wolves found Maria, they had also captured Talulah alive.
They were simply astonished that Maria had done something so significant without saying a word.
Especially Hoshiguma and Chen, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance, their expressions subtle and somewhat complicated.
Maria... she really helped them a lot.
Upon hearing that Maria was preparing to continue dealing with the Reunion Movement thugs, Chen became restless.
We have to go find her!
"Old Chen!"
Hoshiguma stood up almost simultaneously and stopped Ch'en Hui-chieh.
She knew her companion's personality all too well.
Although Ch'en Hui-chieh may seem rigid and inflexible, she is actually a very sentimental person.
Although Maria was angry with her every time they met, everything she did actually helped them a lot.
Ch'en Hui-chieh has always remembered this kindness.
Upon hearing that Maria intended to single-handedly confront tens of thousands of thugs, she naturally couldn't sit still.
This has nothing to do with the battle!
You have to understand, tens of thousands of people... even if they just stood there motionless, lying down and waiting for Maria to execute them, Maria would still have to swing her sword tens of thousands of times...
This is almost an impossible task.
Not to mention that those thugs would also resist, cooperate, and retaliate against Maria in all sorts of ways.
Just thinking about it fills me with despair.
Ch'en Hui-chieh was almost certain that Maria was going to her death!
However, Hoshiguma held a different view.
"Maria isn't stupid. She can be a bit strange sometimes, but she's always been sensible. What we need to do now is find a way to stop the explosion of Platform 17. Otherwise, not only Maria, but also us, Lungmen, and many more people will be affected... Old Chen, now is not the time to let personal feelings get in the way!"
Hoshiguma's reprimand was very stern; she didn't want her friend to ruin the most important matter at hand because of a momentary impulse.
Ch'en Hui-chieh: "..."
He wasn't an unreasonable person; his actions just now were entirely due to emotional impulse.
But there's also a hint of escapism in it.
As for the reason for running away...
Turning her head to look at Talulah, who was lying unconscious beside her, Ch'en Hui-chieh's eyes became unusually complicated.
Meanwhile, Lappland, who had been given a quick bandage by Kal'tsit, suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"Speaking of which... is this guy a little mentally unstable?"
She turned her head and asked the silent Patriot beside her.
"When I was fighting Lady Maria just now, she kept saying she was Talulah, then she said she was the Black Snake, and something about Koschei... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Lappland was being properly bandaged by Kal'tsit, but right after she mentioned the Black Snake, Kal'tsit suddenly tightened the bandage.
This made Lappland blush, who was in pain.
Even more terrifying, the tall Wendigo, standing nearby, also raised his weapon almost immediately and aimed it at the still unconscious Talulah!
He's going to kill Talulah in front of everyone!
Such actions will naturally bring them more trouble.
Chen, almost without thinking, stepped in front of the Patriot, his expression extremely solemn.
Although she harbored many indescribable feelings for Talulah... for this half-sister, and was even somewhat timid about meeting and talking to her because of it.
But one thing is certain.
She loved her sister... just as much as she loved herself.
She is family!
As for Hoshiguma, she quickly stepped forward as well.
Although everyone has temporarily joined forces because of the impending explosion of mobile platforms, this does not mean that they trust each other.
Especially this Patriot... Even though he didn't show any malice just now, Hoshiguma dared not let her guard down easily.
That sense of oppression needs no words to describe.
Seeing that Old Chen had put him under attack, Hoshiguma didn't have time to think about why the other party was attacking his leader. He turned around, took out his Hannya Shield, and blocked the attack in front of both sides.
"Calm down... everyone calm down!"
While pulling and tugging at the scene, Hoshiguma tried her best to calm down the restless people on both sides.
They don't yet know the strength of the Patriot's team.
But they knew that the Rhodes Island team was about the same strength as their own.
This means that if Rhodes Island struggles to fight the Patriot, they will face the same challenge.
But they no longer have time to waste on internal strife!
But Patriot have their reasons for doing so.
His worst fears came true.
Talulah... has been completely assimilated by Koschei!
Patriot had already expressed his concerns when he was talking to FrostNova... As a captain in Ursus, he was well aware of the chaotic mix of gods and demons within the Ursus Empire.
Among them, the immortal Black Snake is one of the most dangerous!
Once caught and infected, they will all eventually go down the same path!
Crazy!
Like a Black Snake that can't be killed no matter what... His physical body has long since perished, but he continues to live on, in the minds of all those he has infected, through a thought, an idea, a idea, and then assimilating them into himself time and time again!
If that's the case... if that's the case, then things make sense.
In the past, Talulah could indeed suppress Koschei; she was a fighter who battled in the snowy plains.
But before they knew it, Talulah had already been defeated by the Black Snake.
That also means that Talulah is no longer standing in front of them!
It is the immortal Black Snake, Koschei!
With this thought in mind, the Patriot no longer hesitated.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly raised his halberd!
Black Snake... must die!
Chapter 198 The Blades Arrives
Rhodes Island and Lungmen are now on the same side, but the Patriot's Snowfield Guerrillas are not.
They wouldn't even obey Talulah's orders, but instead steadfastly followed their captain, Patriot.
When they saw that the Patriot were about to attack Talulah, they hesitated for a moment, but still trusted the Patriot.
Seeing that Lungmen intended to stop them, they quietly surrounded Rhodes Island and the others.
With just one order from the Patriot, they could immediately launch a full-scale attack!
Amiya, seeing the situation deteriorate so badly, couldn't help but become anxious.
"Please..."
She stepped forward, trying to persuade the people present.
But Kal'tsit and the Doctor, both serious, stopped the girl.
The two reliable adults exchanged a glance, then silently gave each other another look before Kal'tsit stepped in.
"We have a much bigger crisis at hand, and we shouldn't focus our attention on the internal strife we're currently facing..."
"Lady... crisis is looming before us!"
Patriot didn't turn his head, his eyes still fixed on the unconscious Talulah in front of him.
As a former member of Ursus, Patriot knew all too well the danger Koschei.
Not only is the opponent's bizarre ability still unsolved, but also the inherited will!
Koschei, a nobleman from Ursus, was also an extremely conservative politician...
Although he always liked to portray his actions as love for Ursus and his country, as a true Patriot who had entered the war, he knew all too well what kind of monster this guy really was.
He would stop at nothing to defeat the enemies of Ursus he considered his enemies, and even more than once, in pursuit of an impossible revenge, he issued orders to the Patriot to exterminate them.
He didn't care about life; in fact, life wasn't even a number to him.
Such a personality combined with the ability to be immortal is extremely terrifying in itself. What's even more terrifying is that Ursus is now mired in a quagmire. When Patriot left, he heard from various people more than once that those fat-headed good-for-nothings in Ursus planned to launch a war to resolve the increasingly extreme contradictions within the country!
Whether for the sake of the Reunion Movement or for the sake of Ursus, which he had once served, he absolutely could not allow such a madman to continue living!
While he's still inside Talulah's body, it's time to kill her completely!
"..."
Upon hearing Patriot's words, Kal'tsit hesitated for a moment before offering her advice.
She understood the reason for the Patriot's apprehension; even she herself loathed Koschei, that madman.
But she also understood that the Patriot was right.
This is indeed a rare opportunity to eliminate Koschei.
His ability does indeed allow him to revive in different bodies time and time again.
However, such capabilities cannot be unlimited.
Originium is not a panacea.
Most likely, it's some kind of distance limitation; once one body travels too far, it can't activate the other body in time.
Now that it has been confirmed that Koschei is inside Talulah's body, this place is not within Ursus territory where Koschei has been operating for many years.
In other words, this is the best opportunity to kill Koschei!
After a long silence, Kal'tsit glanced at Chen and the others beside her.
Chen, who was completely unaware of what was going on, gritted his teeth.
She didn't know what Patriot and Kal'tsit were talking about.
But she knew that the person lying here now was her childhood friend, one of her few remaining blood relatives.
I've already hurt her once.
This time, she absolutely refused to leave!
Taking a deep breath, Chen stood firmly in front of everyone as if he had prepared for the worst, even placing his hand on the Chixiao, which he had never mentioned before!
A sharp glint gradually appeared in his eyes...
