Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Bozokas was smitten.

He didn't know that he believed in the existence of the Everlasting Flower and Warfarin because of reason, but because of emotion that he wanted to believe that his daughter was still alive.

But whether it was a conspiracy or the real deal, his mind was in turmoil.

Especially when she heard that her daughter was now in a deep sleep and needed to be woken up by herself.

His right hand, which used to be as strong as steel, could barely grip his halberd.

He wished he could fly to that ship called Rhodes Island right now.

He didn't know how to suppress the feeling of having something lost and then found.

Because no matter what, now is not the time.

It's not the right time.

Bozokasti told himself this.

The people in this core city still need themselves and cannot leave now.

Talulah, or rather Koschke, that treacherous black snake has already shown no mercy.

Tempted by a divinely created weapon that could suppress God, he no longer concealed it. The so-called 'infected' placed in the unified camp, and the constantly being brought into the armory, might have fooled the ordinary infected, but they could not fool Patriot and his Shield Guards.

Why did the Patriots in the original storyline still stand in front of Rhodes Island even though they realized Talulah's sinister intentions?

Because the banner of the Integration Movement must not fall!

So many infected people have gathered under this flag, and it has long been imbued with their anger at the injustices of this world.

Why are countries sending spies here after the Reunification Movement takes place?

Because they need to confirm whether this is truly the infected person's awakening.

If it were another organization, they might have looked down on it.

But the Integration Movement is different.

The patriotic reputation, coupled with Talulah's pronouncements, made them wary.

Others may not know Talulah’s origins, but do those in power not know?

The moment they saw the core city crashing into Lungmen, they knew the answer.

This is just a smokescreen. If it weren't for the meteorite, they might have turned their attention to the border between Yan and Ursus.

For Bozokasti, if the Reunion Movement were to collapse like this, everything he had done on the snowfield would vanish into thin air, and the infected would be broken and forced back to the dust.

He couldn't accept this outcome.

So even knowing Kosich's conspiracy, he could only continue to carry on under the ironic banner of the Reunion Movement.

Bozokastie didn't know how much longer his battered body could hold on.

But no matter how long it takes, he will continue.

We cannot let these tiny sparks of light be drowned out by boundless malice.

In the original storyline, he had already prepared to defeat Rhodes Island, storm the command tower, and kill Talulah.

At the very least, I must use my crippled body to get rid of this cancer.

This remains true even now.

The guerrillas were ready and just waiting for the right moment. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the bear, the shield guards, who were on high alert, would have already stormed the tower.

It also brought hope.

Froststar is still alive.

If you take the wrong path, you can change it.

If you trust the wrong person, you can switch.

A new option has emerged on a path that seemed to offer no turning back.

Froststar is still alive.

It's not just that Bojokasti's daughter is still alive; it's also of great significance to the entire Reunion Movement.

If what Big Bear said is true, the Everlasting Flower not only pulled her back from the brink of death, but also greatly alleviated her Oripathy...

She is the future of the Reunion Movement!

The road ahead is no longer shrouded in uncertainty; at least there is a glimmer of hope.

If what Big Bear said is true.

Bozokasti never hoped for miracles.

He is now in a dilemma.

If Frostnova were still alive, she would be the future of Reunion, but that future remains silent in the dream of death, and needs to be awakened by herself.

But now he absolutely cannot leave the core city. No one knows what crazy things Kosicheal might do when his century-long plan is ruined in a single day.

Bozokast always remained extremely vigilant in the face of such inhuman beings.

But venomous snakes always come out of their holes, and Koschke will always come.

He possessed Talulah's body, and Bodracus was not confident that he could escape unscathed from the battle with Draco, given his already battered body.

If she dies here, even if she removes Talulah, a cancer, from the Reunion Movement, no one will be able to awaken Frostnova as the future star.

My original plan was that even if I died here, it wouldn't matter, as long as this cancer was removed, everything would be worth it.

But now, for the sake of the future and for his daughter, he cannot afford to lose his life.

A difficult choice.

Fortunately, the bear brought more than just news about Frostnova.

“Lord Kal’tsit…” Bozokasti’s gaze lingered as he recalled the scene long ago when he led Wendigo away from His Highness and came to Ursus.

This is what the lord looked like back then.

“Well then,” Bozokastie said calmly, “let’s hear what suggestions the Lord has for us.”

"Tell the guerrillas to release Rhodes Island and bring them here."

-

“It went more smoothly than I expected,” Amiya said, looking at the dilapidated scene around her. “It’s all thanks to Mr. Xia Yu.”

“Indeed,” Kal'tsit nodded in agreement, looking at the shieldbearers who had been ordered to make way.

Seeing the admiring expressions on their faces, Rosemary couldn't help but feel a little curious about the person named Xia Yu.

If I'm not mistaken, she should have met that person before.

Go back and ask Huang.

"Seriously, so confident," ACE said, looking at the unobstructed road ahead. "Are they planning to let us all pass?"

"Aren't they afraid of what might happen..."

“Because the person we’re going to meet is called the **King,” Kal’tsit replied. “That’s enough.”

The people present were mostly elite operators and their teammates. Compared to the original storyline where they were surrounded by enemies on all sides, so they had to streamline their personnel and bring operators who were proficient in infiltration, the Rhodes Island team that was now able to win over Patriot was now all combat power.

They are also absolutely trustworthy personnel.

Even the Radiant Knights could only stay outside to provide support.

“It’s been a long time, Lord Kal’tsit,” Patriot’s massive body stood in the square, “You haven’t changed at all.”

“You’ve changed so much,” Kal’tsit sighed, looking at Patriot. “Your voice…”

“These are trivial matters,” Patriot shook his head. “So, Lord, let’s get straight to the point: what can you offer us?”

“How about a scalpel?” Kal’tsit looked at the Rhodes Island group. “A scalpel precise enough to remove the lesion.”

“Indeed, it is valuable,” Bozocaste nodded, then raised his halberd toward Rhodes Island. “Then why should I believe that you, Lord, are here to help us?”

"Instead of bringing destruction to the Reunion Movement?"

"How can I trust you, no, Black Serpent's pawns, to prepare to turn against us at the most crucial moment?"

"When I needed reinforcements, you, Lord, appeared before me with men, and even brought news of Yelena."

"All of this is too much of a coincidence!"

"I don't believe in coincidences, and I refuse to succumb to fate!"

Patriot slammed his halberd into the ground, his imposing aura rising and falling with the shieldbearers behind him, eventually converging.

It pressed down on Rhodes Island like a towering mountain.

"Lord, give me a reason?"

“If you don’t trust us,” Amiya said, defiantly, “you don’t have to come with us. Rhodes Island has enough power to deal with Talulah.”

“Talulah?” Patriot shook his head. “Even now, you still haven’t realized who the real mastermind is.”

“You mean Ursus…” Amiya wanted to say something more, but Kal'tsit stopped her.

That's not what he wants to hear.
