"Naturally, it's for Misha's guilt! And to make Frostnova understand the preciousness of this item," Kanna continued after Amiya also chugged the vegetable juice.
"If we simply give it to her, both Misha and Frostnova will think this item is not rare at Rhodes Island, which would lower the perceived importance of saving Skullshatterer and Frostnova in their hearts.
Then, when the revived Alex is confined, after a long time, Misha might develop a mindset like, 'Oh, my brother has been locked up for so long, that's enough punishment.'
Without guaranteeing that Alex won't continue to target Rhodes Island, any potential danger must be minimized as much as possible. Therefore, Misha must be made to realize that the item that saved Alex is extremely precious, and Kal'tsit's choice came at a great cost. Then, when she wants to relax the control over Alex, everything that happened today will surface in her mind.
It also makes Rhodes Island's control over Alex more justifiable and natural." Kanna leaned against the wall, leisurely watching the small house in the distance.
Amiya stared at Kanna, and in that moment, she felt a maturity in Kanna that didn't belong to her age.
"Why are you looking at me?" Seeing Amiya's shocked gaze, Kanna pinched her face with a look of distaste.
"Phew, that's great. For a moment, I thought I was facing Outcast or Miss Ascalon." With her face pinched, Amiya recovered from her shock, a smile returning to her face.
"Speaking of which, I wonder how Grandma Outcast is doing in Kazimierz? It's been a while, and I miss her a bit..." Hearing Amiya's words, Kanna remembered that Outcast had left Rhodes Island about two months ago, and she missed her dearly now.
Half an hour later, a group of people emerged from inside, with Kal'tsit holding a Poké Ball.
Beside her, a strange creature was tightly bound in a restraint suit and suspended from MON3TR's claws.
This creature was about one meter tall, its body bound so its appearance was unclear, but its head was completely covered by a large mask, and a bone staff hung behind the restraint suit.
Kanna immediately recognized it. Wasn't this a Marowak?
Thinking that Marowak was also a masked, ill-tempered Pokémon, Kanna was somewhat at a loss for words, and she didn't know what the standard for Poké Ball transformation was. However, from the three she had seen so far, the combat style after transformation didn't differ too greatly from before.
Of course, a grenade launcher turning into a bone staff wasn't much different for Kanna, as both would feel like a tickle if they hit her.
"I'll take Misha and Alex back to Rhodes Island first. The command here will be your responsibility, Doctor, with Ascalon assisting. She'll be in charge of contacting Lungmen. I'm also entrusting SWEEP to you. The subsequent battle for Chernobog will be handled by you, Doctor. When you launch your attack on Chernobog, I will provide support as the situation dictates."
Holding Misha's hand with one hand and handing the Lungmen communicator to Ascalon with the other, Kal'tsit prepared to leave after giving these instructions.
"Where to next?"
After Kal'tsit left, everyone looked at the Doctor.
"Remember that mobile fortress that separated from Chernobog? It's been found. That fortress didn't escape the last Catastrophe; the mobile fortress was directly destroyed by the Catastrophe, and everyone inside died completely.
I just asked Frostnova, and that area is currently occupied by Reunion Movement, serving as a transit point between Lungmen and Chernobog.
According to her, Reunion Movement will arrange cadres there to receive Reunion Movement members and Refugees evacuating from Lungmen. If I'm not mistaken, if Talulah is to continue her plan, then the people there will surely be abandoned by her. So, it's highly possible that we will meet Patriot himself there. At that time, we'll see if Frostnova can persuade him to cooperate with us."
The Doctor pointed to a spot between the two cities and explained to everyone.
"Talulah! You said Reunion Movement's leader is Talulah?" Just then, a shocked voice came from the doorway.
Everyone looked over. It was Miss Chen. She stood at the doorway, looking at the Doctor with surprise, clearly finding the name the Doctor had just spoken unbelievable.
"That's right. According to our intelligence, Reunion Movement's leader is named Talulah, a Draco who is very skilled in fire arts. Does Miss Chen have any questions about this?"
The Doctor was unaware of the relationship between Miss Chen and Talulah, simply thinking that Miss Chen hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated it again... "Include me in your operation." After hearing the Doctor's confirmed answer, Miss Chen spoke with an undeniable tone.
"Miss Chen, the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department has not received orders to go out, and there are still many scattered Reunion Movement members in Lungmen who were dispersed in previous battles. We don't have the extra energy or personnel to deal with this 'Talulah' far away in Chernobog." The adjutant beside her, hearing that Miss Chen planned to leave with Rhodes Island, quickly tried to dissuade her.
"You don't need to follow me. I mean, I'm going..." Miss Chen's hand, resting on her longsword, trembled slightly, clearly showing her agitation upon hearing the name Talulah.
"But..." Hearing Miss Chen's words, the adjutant was stunned on the spot.
As an old hand in the Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department, seeing Miss Chen's determined expression, like someone who wouldn't turn back even if they hit a wall, he decided not to persuade her further. He only planned to report to Governor Wei Yenwu / Wei Yanwu after she left. (Monthly, Group 694, 9361, 35)
Rhodes Island, as an organization cooperating with Lungmen, couldn't refuse Miss Chen's request, coming from Lungmen's Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department as a senior inspector. After exchanging glances, the Doctor walked up to Miss Chen.
"Miss Chen, I don't know what your relationship with Talulah is, but if you're planning to come with us to Chernobog, I hope you won't act on your own. After all, Rhodes Island isn't as grand and powerful as Lungmen; every one of our Operators is extremely precious. I don't want Rhodes Island to pay the price for your impulsiveness. If you agree, I can allow you to accompany us."
Through a few brief interactions and actions, the Doctor had a rough understanding of Miss Chen's personality. Her strength and experience certainly qualified her as a Lungmen senior inspector, but she was also very stubborn and somewhat extreme.
Such a person is like a protagonist in a movie; when luck is on their side, they often succeed relying on their own abilities. However, they can also act impulsively due to their stubbornness and extremism, causing harm to those around them.
