Listening to Rosemary's enlightened words, Hellagur still couldn't accept it. He once fought for fame and glory, and after serving in the army for many years, he witnessed the cruelty of war.

Later, he killed his good friend in the war, but before his death, that good friend entrusted his daughter to his care.

At that moment, he couldn't even hold the sword in his hand.

Later, he chose to return to the battlefield, retired, and brought his adopted daughter to the small remote town of Chernobyl, where he opened a clinic specializing in treating infected people, especially their children.

He told himself countless times that he was fighting for his homeland and peace.

He also sang emotionally in his EP, "I am willing to protect the smile of a child even if I am covered in wounds."

However, when he witnessed with his own eyes a child under the age of 15 stepping onto the battlefield and even killing the enemy skillfully and cruelly, Herag realized that he was still a fragile person.

"Even so, you can't... you really can't--"

"But does death treat anyone as a child?"

Before Herag could finish his stammering words, he was interrupted by Rosemary who felt strange.

Rosemary pointed at Amiya, and the infected members around her said in confusion:

“War and infection, will they let them live just because they see children?

When Amiya and I stand on the battlefield and the enemy sees us, whose first impression is "child"?

To them, we are the 'monsters', right?"

"No... no... this is obviously... just your opinion."

Under the hood, Hellagur's eyes were already red, and he tried to deny Rosemary's words with a slight cry.

Rosemary tilted her head. She really didn't understand why the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel mentioned by brothers ACE and Scout was so fragile.

"Doc, it doesn't matter what I am. I just want to do something meaningful with my family."

Then she took out her command terminal and found a photo in the gallery. It was a photo of ACE holding her in his arms and laughing, with Scout teasing her beside him.

"Do you know Scout? Do you know ACE?

But I haven't seen them for several days. I heard they went to Chernobyl and never came back.

I was the one who applied for this combat mission, and Sister Huang once opposed me.

But I want to see with my own eyes what kind of thing is preventing them from returning home.

I have forgotten many things, but I just forget, unlike the doctor who has lost everything."

"rosemary......"

Amiya was about to remind Rosemary not to say that, but Rosemary gave her a look, indicating that she knew her limits.

“Doctor, what I have lost are only bits and pieces, many things I have seen, many sentences.

But those feelings, those... I can't put them into words, only Amiya can understand the feelings...

But he never left me.”

Herag didn't say anything. At this moment, he truly understood the meaning of the name of this main chapter.

This land is just a cradle of suffering.

Chapter 225: Cradle of Misery (13) Prophecy, Return of the Phantom Crossbowman

Hellagur is indeed a natural born warrior, but being a natural born warrior does not mean that he is destined to be great.

At least, at this moment, Helag listened carefully to Rosemary's story before choosing to escape.

When he exited the story mode and returned to the game lobby, Nayin was already lying on the table crying.

Upon asking, it turned out to be Rosemary's pot.

Regarding this situation, Hellagur didn't know how to comfort his adopted daughter. After all, this kind of situation was too common in the suffering-filled land of Terra.

He opened the forum and took a look. Sure enough, there was a similar topic post in the latest hot posts. He clicked on it and saw that they were all complaining about the sufferings they or the people around them had experienced.

Here, being infected by Originium is just the basic condition, and there are many cases of families being destroyed and even lives lost.

But this is also a good thing. Herag knows that there are too many people in this land who are depressed but have nowhere to tell. Having a place where they can tell their experiences anonymously is much better than keeping it in their hearts with nowhere to vent.

The same is true for Nayin. Although she was raised by herself after her parents died, she was displaced and homeless for a period of time.

Nayin was equally strong. She cried for a while and then cheered herself up. She used the game coins to buy a cup of her favorite drink and sipped it slowly, which brought her some good mood.

Herag didn't say anything either, just looked at her quietly. Seeing her, Hera finally realized something was wrong, so she bought a glass of Herag's favorite cocktail as a tribute to her.

The old man nodded with satisfaction and accepted Nayin's new idea. He was old and his liver was not working as well, and the storage in his warehouse was not as much as his adopted daughter's.

Nayin is a little liver emperor. The stock in his warehouse is enough to buy ten new six-star special nines with a lot of surplus.

The father and daughter sat on the sofa in the game hall without saying a word, slowly savoring their rare leisure time.

Nayin finished her drink first, said something to the old man, and then returned to the main storyline to continue the plot.

Seeing Nayin come in, Herag, who had been eating slowly, stopped pretending. He skillfully grabbed a shovel of free ice from the mall and filled up the cocktail in his hand, then drank it in one gulp and burped loudly after finishing.

"Huh~ cool!"

Hellagur, his mood instantly restored, chose to return to his loyal battlefield.

But before that, he had to be allowed to skip a part of the plot. Although he was confident that he could hide his emotions well, he was faced with a man who could actually read minds, a man who was suspected of telepathy, and a man who was almost a demon.

After returning to the lower level of the core city, he first read the previous plot to avoid any mismatch in his testimony later.

Very good, the excuse of finding a place to calm down is still very effective. At least the three of them did not suspect anything. They just ordered a reconnaissance agent to follow him to the side to rest. They would never let the doctor disappear from their sight alone.

If there was only one person, wouldn't it be easy to control him? After telling the sniper operator that he needed to be alone for a while, he turned his back to him and found a pillar to hold on to under the sniper operator's gaze, and paused the plot.

Now, having made his corrections, Hellagur chooses to continue the story.

The sniper operator who was in charge of protecting the doctor thought it was a bit strange that the doctor felt much better after leaning on the pillar for a while, but he didn't think too much about it.

After all, this is still a battlefield, and it would be a good thing for them if the commander's mental state recovers quickly.

But after all, she was a sniper operator, and she was told to pay attention to whether the doctor had any abnormal behavior. Naturally, the sniper operator secretly reported Hellagur's abnormality to Kal'tsit.

Kal'tsit became suspicious after receiving the news. As far as she knew, there was no one in Terra who could quickly adjust his emotions when he was sad or angry, unless he was acting from the beginning.

However, it was impossible for the Doctor to fake his previous behavior in front of Amiya and Rosemary, so there was only one truth, that is, the Doctor had a method that she didn't know about to quickly regulate his emotions.

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit suddenly remembered that the Doctor would often be in one state just before, and then change into another state the next moment, or even change some positions and movements. This situation is very similar to the Fallen Angel Zakota who ran around with keys in Lateran.

A bold idea emerged in Kal'tsit's heart. She now strongly suspected that the Doctor had the ability to stop and travel through time similar to Mostima.

However, Kal'tsit had no intention of breaking the screen paper. It was a good thing for Rhodes Island that the doctor had this ability, provided that the other party really cared about Rhodes Island.

The shadow of His Highness' assassination is still deeply buried in her heart. No matter how she investigates, she finds that all this is inextricably linked to the Doctor, but she is currently unable to determine what role the Doctor played in it.

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit could no longer sit still, and she decided to observe the Doctor again.

Soon, she found the Doctor who was issuing orders through the command terminal.

"You are here."

"Is it your turn to come to me?"

Hellagur did not stop operating the command terminal and joked.

It is impossible for Kal'tsit to get to the bottom of the matter right now, so she starts with the matter of Rosemary to cover up her own intentions.

"Rosemary is one of Rhodes Island's most outstanding annihilation fighters, using heavy and large-scale equipment to quickly and powerfully destroy the enemy, while also having amazing self-control and strong adaptability."

When Kal'tsit started talking about Rosemary, no matter how cold Hellagur was, it was impossible for him not to take it seriously.

He put down the command terminal in his hand, looked at Kal'tsit, and signaled her to continue.

"Accordingly, the way she treats people and the tone of her voice may make you worry, and her fighting posture is indeed cruel compared to her appearance.

Perhaps it is acceptable for people to see Huang running around with a chainsaw, but the flying debris when Rosemary fights will indeed make some people feel uneasy.

But I can offer you a little reassurance, which may help you feel a little more at peace, if you are persuaded."

As Kal'tsit spoke, she pulled up Rosemary's combat report from her command terminal and showed it to Hellagur.

Hellagur took a closer look and found that it was a statistical report on the number of enemies and kills in Rosemary's multiple missions. Kal'tsit's voice of explanation came at the right time.

“In fact, Rosemary rarely kills enemies now.

While her fighting style appears to be fairly straightforward, her tactics now aim to disarm her enemies.

For example, in the battle just now, all the enemies were successfully disarmed, and only a few enemies that posed a greater threat to us were accurately attacked.

Her ability to control weapons has improved a lot compared to the past.

However, I must remind you that when we can only carry out lethal strikes to achieve certain tactical goals, casualties are inevitable. "

Rosemary's past combat reports did not mention it, but Hellagur knew with his feet that it must not have been a wonderful moment.

However, he is now more accepting of Rosemary's situation.

Kal'tsit noticed that Hellagur's mood had improved, but now was not the time to relax, they still had a lot of things to do.

So she urged Hellagur with a reason that he couldn't refuse:

“Of course, whether the enemies we captured can be truly saved depends on whether we can defeat the command core of the Integration Movement in time.

Only then will we be able to send a rescue team into the core city."

Hellagur heard Kal'tsit's barely concealed warning, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I have another question. Why did she become an elite operator and participate in the battle on Rhodes Island?"

Kal'tsit seemed a little surprised that Hellagur suddenly asked this. She was stunned for a moment before explaining:

"The terrifying Originium skills and amazing perception abilities are not the reasons why Rosemary is an elite operator.

Rather, it is precisely because Rosemary became an elite operator that we discovered her qualities through a series of proficiency tests.

We don’t judge, ‘We should send her to the battlefield,’ but rather, ‘If we don’t let her become such a warrior, the consequences will be disastrous.’ ”

Kal'tsit did not say what the consequences would be, but Hellagur understood.

A controllable weapon is always better than an unstable bomb. Kal'tsit is hinting to them that Rhodes Island is the one who can hold the weapon.

"I'll find out for myself."

Helag did not delve into the matter further and did not make any further comments after stating that he would take the initiative to investigate.

Kal'tsit is not afraid of the doctor's investigation. Their Rhodes Island is now upright and not afraid of the other party's investigation at all.

The premise is to make the current situation of Rhodes Island employing child laborers clear. After all, there are still quite a lot of child laborers in Rhodes Island, such as Rosemary, Lily of the Valley, Amiya, Popka, Gray and others. Kal'tsit really can't deny this.

“Also, maybe Amiya’s pretending to be mature may have given you a false impression.

Young lives that are treated as weapons and feared cannot be regarded as ordinary children simply because of their childish behavior, not to mention that some people have experienced too much.

This land is not picky when it comes to eating people.”

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she turned and headed towards Amiya and the others, preparing to leave. Before leaving, she reminded the Doctor:

"Put together your necessary items. Team R-6 has cleared the enemy at the base checkpoint. We are almost ready to head to the surface."

At this moment, the image of Kal'tsit walking away with her back to him suddenly paused and then shattered.

Herag knew that this was the beginning of a new plot.

But strangely, this transition took unexpectedly long, and he was still in the dark room.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

"Kal'tsit! Stop!"

"Warfarin, I'm about to leave. Whatever you want to say, just get to the point."

Only then did Hellagur know the reason why Kal'tsit was late in the morning. It turned out that she had already had a conversation with Warfarin before that.

This conversation also revealed a lot of information, such as Kal'tsit's actual age is older than Mr. Blood, who has been active in the medical field for decades.

And the most important prophecy: The last Wendigo will die at the hands of the devil!!!

If Hellagur remembered correctly, Bodracasti once said that he was the last pure-blooded Wendigo in the Wendigo tribe. If the prophecy came true, he would die at the hands of Amiya?

No, that's not right. If what was revealed in the main story MV is true, then Bozhuocasti should not have died at the hands of Amiya.

Some people analyzed that the Patriot died of the worsening of Originium disease, because from the Patriot's last movements, which were obviously stiff, and there was Originium light in his right eye, a series of information led to the conclusion that the mineralization level of his Originium disease was very high at that time.
