Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

That was the old general Herag.

As Herag walked, the surrounding shield guards recognized the old general and stood in two rows on either side of him, and he came to a stop two or three meters in front of the patriot's eyes.

"Long gone, Bozokasti.

Herag was the first to speak to Bodrokasti.

"General... I didn't expect, it's really you. The

patriot's tone was rare with obvious joy.

"yes, I haven't seen you in years.

Herag's tone was a little heavy:

"I didn't expect that we all contracted ore disease. The

patriot was silent for a moment and said:

"You actually remember mine, name, general."

Herag replied in a natural tone

, "Of course, if you hadn't rushed into the Wikasaya fortress with your shield guards against a blizzard that would have blown away the trees, I, Barclay, and Semyon,

would all have died at the hands of Pigassos, Casimir's silver spear." The

patriot did not take pride in hearing this, but said:

"That is, my warriors, brave and fearless of sacrifice, the mountains in the wind and snow, advance, crush all enemies into dust."

Herag suddenly asked in a somewhat puzzled tone:

"Why, the way you speak is very different from decades ago."

"I've seen you speak generously in front of the soldiers, when your tongue can make Barclay, the bald butcher, applaud you, but it's not an easy task." The

patriot was silent for a moment and replied:

"Infected, changed the vocal cords, and now, it is difficult for me to speak continuously, it is ridiculous."

Herag gazed at the patriot in front of him and said to him:

"And your current identity." The

patriot said:

"Yes.

Herag replied:

"The partisans of the Northern Plains ... The leader of the tour will actually be you... I thought that a dozen Wendygory, the most unlikely is you, Bozokasti. "

Bluebeard Alyosha, of that cavalry division, he once bet with me that you would serve as a natural Usas soldier until the marshal, only he is now sleeping in the ground, forever. The

patriot paused when he heard this, and his tone became a little hoarse:

"I'm just a lieutenant... General, times ... It's different.

Herag said in a serious tone:

"... Your loyalty, military merits, and tactical planning at combat meetings... You are one of the best field commanders in Usas, especially when it comes to positional warfare.

The patriot's husky voice slowly flowed from his already broken vocal cords:

"You... Over-honored, General, and, after all, I'm a Sakaz, General. "

It's mine... Bloodline, although I... I didn't care, but also... Unshakable.

Herag ignored the patriot's self-modesty, but said directly to him:

"If you can't even be a colonel, almost all the senior generals of Usas should be court-martialed."

Herag's tone suddenly dropped a little when he said this:

"Huh... Although, most of them are already dead. The

patriot said to Herag

, "Then I have lived longer than all of them, General, your colleagues,

almost all dead."

"And, His Majesty has said, a soldier serves the country and the people, not a military rank.

Hearing this, Herag

said, "But, Your Majesty, he said that it is not blood that condenses the Usasians, but faith,

but now?

"

Usas, blood-blinded beast... Under its feet, the beasts, on the land, galloping, claws, tearing the earth, roaring, shaking through the heavens, in comparison, I, are nothing.

Herag said

, "So the army is not the reason for your departure,

Bodrokasti." The

patriot replied

, "Yes, I don't care, I just want to, side by side with my warriors,

to fight for fellow mutants."

The

patriot suddenly fell silent for a moment, and said to Herag:

"General, sit, wine, some leftover, I brought from the north."

Herag nodded, the two did not care about the dust and dirt ground, and when he had fought alongside the Patriots, Herag even piled up the corpses of his enemies with him as chairs.

The two sat on the floor.

However, the patriot has been unable to remove his helmet, and his helmet has cracked dozens of times in countless battles, and dozens of times it has been bonded by source stone crystals, and this helmet seems to have truly become another of his appearances.

He could only disassemble the lower part of the helmet a little, revealing the chin that had been covered with the crystals of the source stone.

"Bodrokasti, you..." Seeing

such a serious level of infection from the patriot, even Herag couldn't help but sigh a little uncomfortably.

"It's okay, General, I, don't care about that. The

patriot replied, pouring a glass of wine for Herag with his own hands and handing it to him.

"I... Thought you were dead, General.

Herag took the glass, drank it slightly, and said,

"Haha... Incognito is also a kind of death, and the current me has no connection with the past.

The patriot said with some hesitation:

"Here, Chernoberg, a retreat?

Herag said to the patriots:

"Chernoberg is no longer suitable for habitation, whether or not it has been hit by natural disasters."

The patriot replied

, "I heard you were leaving?" Herag

said in a somewhat low tone:

"The

clinic has suffered a devastating catastrophe, and although we moved ahead of schedule,

we still lost something.

"I heard rumors that you're coming here, I have a few contacts left in this dying city, and helping you get into the city is the last thing I can do for you." The

patriot said

, "I, it's not worth it,

it's dangerous."

Herag replied,

"I'm just... I want to see how my few remaining colleagues are doing. The

patriot paused, and then spoke calmly with a hint of pent-up anger:

"... I will find out, who did it, the clinic's business, not usual.

Herag shook his head and said to the patriot:

"No, rather, since you are here, the possibility of integrating the dominance of the movement is infinitely close to zero." "

No matter how you look it up, the Empire will give you a 'reasonable' explanation, and I've been... No longer belongs to Usas, Bozokasti.

The patriots were silent again for a long time before he spoke

, "General, how is the integration movement in the city now?" Herag

shook his head with his eyes closed, and said to the patriots:

"Most of them are crazy."

"Almost everyone is endlessly burning and looting in the city, as if there is a wildfire that is spreading wildly, and these wildfires are eating everything indiscriminately."

"An entire city and the life inside turned into firewood for this wildfire... Bozo Casti, can you see... These angry wildfires crossed the line, and vicious gunsmoke filled the city walls. The

patriot's eyes flashed red:

"General, I understand that the integration movement must be saved, and I will enter the city and purge military discipline."

Herag poured himself a glass of wine again and said to the patriot:

"It's useless, Bodrokasti... When the fire is up, it will not stop until everything is in ruins.

The patriot also served himself a glass of

wine, saying: "General, you, seem to have become pessimistic..."

Herag drank the glass of wine and sighed:

"Pessimistic...?

The patriot also took a sip of wine, put it down, and said to him:

"General, you, may, join us." "

Usas, to be liberated, mutants and ordinary people, will live in peace.

This time it was Herag's turn to be silent, and after about half a minute, he extended his left hand to his left rear, and the patriot's gaze extended with his hand.

"Look here, Bodrokasti, on my left, the building that was pierced by the source stone after it burst from the surface. The

patriot said:

"Visible." Herag

told the patriots:

"This used to be a shopping mall, and the citizens of the surrounding four or five blocks depended on its goods. "

The patriot looked at it, the ruins standing in scorched earth, steel piercing the cement, like the remains of a giant whose ribs were thrust out, and the valuable parts of its corpse had been plundered, leaving only the dried remains.

"General, the disaster of God, destroyed, Chernoberg ... I destroyed the fortress, destroyed the city, destroyed the hope in people's hearts, but, after all, I couldn't resist the natural disaster, helpless.

The patriot said to Herag, his tone also unusually depressed.

Herag looked at the ruins and said

, "Once upon a time, one end of the colored lamp was tied to the top of its bell tower, hanging down all the way to the fence at the opposite intersection,

and every flickering light bulb was stained with a warm light. The

patriot said to Herag:

"But, mutants, do not, enjoy the right, and the only thing they are allowed to approach, warmth, is the burning fire."

Herag waved his hand and said to the patriot:

"Bodrokasti... You want the light bulb to shine, to illuminate every corner of the earth, to illuminate the heart of every mutant, but I... I just want to build another mall, that's all. "

The patriots are speechless.

It's hard to say who is right about the ideas of Herag and the Patriots, who march with the noble goal of liberating the mutants of Usas and the entire land, but Herag just wants to keep the pure land of the existing mutants.

"General... If you were the same as before, you would never compromise so easily. The

patriot finally spoke, his tone becoming a little moist.

"Maybe, haha, although Rhode Island may not be a place with a bright future, I also lost my feelings for this land very early.

Herag's laughter was full of bitterness.

"You just, do not want to fight with the Motherland, General. The

patriot said to Herag:

"Look at the city, look at the mutants, look at the people who were thrown into the source stone mine, waiting to die."

"And you, you never were, a man who feared fighting... Back then, you and I will be equipped with steam armor, Victoria Marine Division, disembowe, and you will kill enemies nearly twice as much as mine.

Herag did not deny it, saying:

"Yes, but once Usas uses force against us, we will fight back." "

The integrative movement does not behave the same as we fight back, Bodrocasti, look at the city below your feet, the integration movement is waging a most brutal war."

How many Usas die

in a war?"

"The Usas eat the Usas, the Usas slaughter the Usas, the Usas abuse the Usas, and the Usas destroy the Usas.

But at this moment, the patriot suddenly interrupted Herag's words with a loud shout:

"General-"

At this moment, Herag's whole person was stunned, this was the first time in his memory that the patriot directly interrupted him.

"If, Usas, still treated mutants as human beings, then there would be no war. The

words of the patriot are like hammering iron, and every word carries a roar and echo.
