Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

After the patriot said these words, it was as if time had stood still.

Even some of the surrounding mutant guerrilla fighters and shield guards stopped their movements and looked at the patriots and Herag, and the atmosphere froze for a while.

"Excuse you two. And

just then, from afar, a member of the integration movement suddenly arrived.

"Piloko..."

stood up the patriot, Piloko was a squad leader he knew, still trustworthy in character, and often informed himself of news in the city.

Piloko listened to the voice, and under the mask should be a young man, and he said in a high voice:

"Report, commander, long time no see, leader He has just issued a proclamation announcing that we have completely captured Chernoberg and has launched a briefing to all known communication channels. The

patriot nodded, but said nothing.

"The integration movement has won, but I don't seem to feel the slightest look of joy on your face, Bozokasti.

Herag said to the patriots.

"Should I... Joy

..." the patriot muttered

, "If Usas wants, any city will be bulldozed by a torrent of iron shoes..."

"It's just that the war has begun, and I can't turn back if I want to regret it, oh, General, maybe I'm stupid, but now, if nothing is done, the mutants' shackles will only get heavier,

and finally every mutant can't breathe."

"The consciousness of struggle cannot be lost, otherwise, it will lead to destruction, General."

Herag nodded and said,

"Then it seems that you are well aware of the current situation and know what you should do." The

patriot said:

"Yes, we, fight for survival."

Then the patriot turned around and asked Piloko,

"The integration movement in the city is now targeting civilians?"

The patriot looked at the list, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

The number far exceeded the patriots' expectations.

"It's just a small part. The

patriot put down the list and said to Piloco.

Piloko said hesitantly:

"This... As for the specific implementers, it is actually difficult for us to investigate, many compatriots hate the Chernobergs so much that they can't report..." The

patriot interrupted Piloko:

"Violating discipline and attacking civilians?"

But those Chernobergs are so cold, if it weren't for them, many mutants wouldn't have fallen to such a point, commander, I beg you..." The

patriot interrupted Piloko again, and his tone became even colder:

"Attack the civilians?"

The patriot again said to Piloco:

"Order, hang, all the main personnel, let my soldiers, do it."

"Warning, Mephistopheles, the Murderer.

Piloko said with some hesitation:

"But... These numbers already account for nearly one-third of the people of the integration movement, and hanging them all would greatly reduce the vitality of the integration movement, and mutinies could also occur. The

patriot stepped forward three steps, his huge body less than half a meter from Piloco, and the shadow cast almost covered Piloco's entire person, and his thick voice declared coldly:

"All, hang, if any, mutiny, my warriors, will crush them." Piloko

said with some trepidation:

"... Be.

The patriot said again:

"The

rest, remember." Pyroko

replied

, "Remember, have you remembered?" said

the patriot

, "Repeat the crime, put to death, tell the leader of this,

go."

Pilocco immediately replied

, "Ah,

understood!" and

he trotted away.

The patriot sat down again, turned to Herag, and said:

"Ah, by the way, you said earlier that you were going to go ...

Herag nodded and said,

"That's right.

The patriot paused for a moment before he spoke:

"It's just that picking this kind of time, entering Chernoberg, Rhode Island, will be regarded as an enemy by everyone."

Herag asked

, "Why did they do this?" and

the patriot replied

, "I don't know, but Rhode Island is now in the center of the storm, General,

please be careful."

Herag replied

, "Don't worry, Bodrokasty,

I have a sense of proportion."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Herag said:

"By the way, you said more than twenty years ago, you wanted to try it with me.

The patriot hesitated and responded,

"Now?

"My armor, you can't cut it, it's not fair.

Herag said to the patriots:

"This armor is already quite worn, and its performance is far less than when the army was constantly maintaining." The

patriot said:

"Armor, Usas's, however, I, the traitor of the empire, it, only, more and more broken, that one, my friend, Os, also died a long time ago, in the vast snowy fields."

Herag said

, "That's why you have that codename,

and you stand up against it when it's wrong."

The patriot once again poured a glass of wine for Herag and said

, "I dare not say so, General,

and I dare not call myself by that."

Herag took the glass handed over by the patriot and replied,

"'Patriot'... The war in Usas ...

"Naturally, our wars are just, otherwise countless sacrifices will be meaningless."

"Actually, General, we all know the real answer, don't we

?" Herag's hand holding the wine glass shook suddenly, and a few drops of clear liquid spilled out of the glass.

The patriot continued:

"But they cannot die in vain, their death must be meaningful.

Herag drank a full glass of melancholy and responded,

"But you have stood up against Usas. The

patriot replied

loudly:

"What I am against is the empire, not the land, not the people, not Usas itself." "

If it is, the Lord of State, creating the status quo, he is the enemy, we will hang him

;" "If it is, the parliament plots, we will overthrow the parliament;"

"If it is, the army, create confrontation, we will destroy the army."

"I fight for justice, General, Usas was righteous in the past, and the war of mutants now, too, is just, justice, and always belongs to Usas, not the empire."

Herag put his hand on his chin, pondered for a moment, and said

, "Fight for justice, but this alone, you have not changed in the slightest,

Bodrokasti."

The patriot shook his head and said to Herag:

"Hatred, too deep, general, too deep."

"If you don't fight, hatred will cover it, and all the eyes of Usas, the anger in everyone's heart, will first set themselves on fire, and then be roasted alive."

Herag nodded slightly in affirmation and said again:

"The integration movement is more scattered than I thought, and your requirements for military discipline are higher than most of the Usas team.

The patriot said to Herag:

"The

vast majority of the integration movement is not soldiers, generals, they lack training, they must be rectified, disciplined, and worthy of fortification, my warriors, with me, mountains, and they, just one by one, a touch of the sand dunes."

Herag said to the patriots:

"The confrontation continues to intensify, there will be no longer a chance for either side to appeal, maybe you are right, Usas does need a wake-up call." The

patriot immediately replied:

"The general can too, help us."

But Herag shook his head when he heard this, and said:

"No, patriot, I will not step into another war.

The patriot was silent for a moment and replied

, "Yes,

it is, war."

"You, you don't want to fight again, I know that.

Herag said in a smooth tone:

"There is nothing left between me and Usas, everything has been lost with time.

"I've been... I don't care about this country as much as I used to, Bodrokasti, forgive me, what you see now is just a coward with no ambition. The

patriot immediately spoke

, "No! No,

you're not!"

I won't, to this day, I can, understand you..."

Herag was stunned for a moment and said:

"What... Grozwal he ..."

I'm sorry, he's a very good guy.

The patriot shook his head and said to Herag:

"Why are you apologizing?

"Ah, yes, this knife in your hand, you adopted, daughter of an enemy commander.

"My daughter, who is older, next time you can bring her with you so that they can meet both."

Herag chuckled and said

, "Oh,

I hope they can get along."

This time it was Herag's turn to pour a full glass of wine for the patriots.

The patriot raised his glass and said to Herag:

"General, I am sorry not to be able to fight side by side with you, again."

Herag also raised the memories in the cup, touched each other, took a long breath, and replied:

"... Listen, Bodrokasti, 'patriot'..." "

Usas does not become strong or weak on his own.

"Thousands of generals have tried, all of them trying to become the masters of the fate of the empire, and all of them have failed miserably, and some have no bones left.

"And the majesties of the past generations have also not escaped the pit of fate." "

The empire is struggling to reinvent the glory of the emperor in the midst of turmoil, that beautiful phantom... Hmph, wizards can describe the future of the country, Rigoletto can predict the course of battles, and politicians understand the changes in natural disasters..."

"I have not attended a so-called political gathering, not once, neither of parliamentarians nor of the military.

"Their self-confidence put me to shame, their arrogance made me feel sad, all who thought they could win were defeated, and everything who thought they could live died." "
