There's no point in fighting any more. The guerrillas are gonna kill us.
Sarkaz Mercenary
Fall back! Abandon the city! We lost! It's over.
W
Says who?
Sarkaz Mercenary
You're alive...
W
If I went down that easy, I couldn't ask you to come with me.
Sarkaz Mercenary
Why? Why should we follow you?
W
Hah. Need me to spell it out for you? You're free, ya goof.
Sarkaz Mercenary
...Huh? Free? What are you talking about?
W
You don't have to kill for anybody anymore. And it's not like I'm your boss now either, I'm just saying you can tag along with me.
W
You're done being hired muscle. Now you fight for yourselves! Oh, but still, you can't just be killing for fun. I'll blow your ribcage open if you do.
W
What I'm getting at is we don't have to listen to the bitches who just want our blades and bows. The ones who don't care if we die, as long as we take a bunch of lives with us.
W
But me? I'm built different. I appreciate money, and they gave us lots.
W
The thing is, we're still alive, and we can get more of it. Don't need to go piling up cash on gravestones.
W
See some haters? Kill 'em. Kill anybody who looks at us the wrong way. Kill anybody who wants to hurt us. Just wipe 'em all out.
W
Not for Reunion, not for all the devils, not for anybody.
W
We make our own way in the world. Maybe we wanna go to Yan and learn how to play Go. Doesn't matter. It's all good.
Just a minute, kitten. Is that your aircraft? What's it doing?
Rosmontis
Oh, I know...
Rosmontis
It must be here to take Talulah. Ah, there it goes... we already have her.
Shieldguard
What? You took Talulah?
Shieldguard
No, we can't allow that! Rhodes doesn't have the right!
Shieldguard
She must stand trial! She can't just walk away!
Rosmontis
Sorry... this is how it is.
Rosmontis
You want revenge, but you can't have it.
Rosmontis
We can't put her on trial.
Shieldguard
But you're taking her from us. You stole our chance to execute her!
Shieldguard
Kitten, don't be so quick to show off what you've learned...
Shieldguard
Hatred runs in our veins. The hatred of Reunion and all the Infected brothers Talulah killed fills us with the rage that gives us the right to try her.
Shieldguard
Only us. No one else.
Rosmontis
Will you give her a fair trial?
Shieldguard
We are justice. Talulah can't escape us.
Rosmontis
Okay then, Mister. I'll make you a promise. We won't hand Talulah over to anyone but you and Reunion.
Shieldguard
What are you going to do with her?
Rosmontis
Even I don't know. But I can make you that promise.
Rosmontis
Because I know we're doing what's right.
Rosmontis
Kill me now if you have to. I believe in Rhodes Island. I'll stand in for her.
Shieldguard
What are you talking about?! Don't talk like that.
Shieldguard
Look, kitten, if you think there's any difference between your loyalty and ours, you've got another thing coming. I Trust you. You'll be a glorious fighter someday.
Shieldguard
Go on! For you, I'll trust Rhodes Island, just this once.
Shieldguard
But you remember. I don't care if it's Talulah or the Lord of Fiends... if I hear you've stepped out of line even just once...
Shieldguard
If I hear you've done harm to the downtrodden people of this world, we will hunt you down, we will strike you, and we will kill you all.
Shieldguard
Especially Talulah. Don't use her for evil.
Shieldguard
We'll spike their heads on the highest point in the city, to honor the Captain, our great warrior, who died here alone.
Shieldguard
This isn't how his story was supposed to end.
Rosmontis
It won't come to that. Rhodes Island wouldn't do that. Even if they tried, I wouldn't let them.
Rosmontis
Someday... I'll be just like you said. I'll be able to pick out who's good and who's bad.
Rosmontis
No one should suffer the loss of a loved one. I'll do what's right. I'll be the judge.
Rosmontis
I think I almost have my own standard.
Shieldguard
We believe in you. We believe your promise, kitten! Young as you are, you're a lot stronger than so many spineless grown-ups.
Shieldguard
Alright, we'll hold off on destroying Rhodes Island for now. Because you're there.
Rosmontis
Pinky swear?
Shieldguard
Huh? Haha, okay. Pinky swear.
Rosmontis
Hm.
Shieldguard
If I had a daughter, she'd be about your age.
Shieldguard
Kitten, the other girl, the Lord of Fiends... the Cautus. If she can really keep doing good...
Shieldguard
You can count on us. If you ever get into trouble, we'll be there. Because the Captain... the Captain and Yelena... they chose her..
Shieldguard
I hope you'll prove right. I hope we're wrong.
Shieldguard
But that's not how it'll go. Because we're doing the right thing.
Shieldguard
Time to go.
Rhodes Island Operator
Rosmontis! Thank you, Reunion fighters.... We have to go.
Chernobog's core city has stopped moving. Tell the Sixth, Seventh, and Twelfth Divisions, if they still want to proceed, we'll need...
???
Stop.
???
Or we will be forced to stop you.
???
Not that we would be able to, even if we tried.
???
Only you can put a stop to your nonsensical war machine in time.
'Emperors' Blade'
You cannot resist the blade of Ursus. Not this time.
'Emperors' Blade'
And you, the pawns of an incapable lord, who are you to give orders to us?
Shadow Guard
(Gaulish) And how do you know you are not under the spell of Kashchey?
'Emperors' Blade'
Never speak that language to me again! The age of Gaul is over!
'Emperors' Blade'
Never again will that language be used to communicate between countries! Not a city of theirs remains!
'Emperors' Blade'
Kashchey is determined, a determined champion of Ursus!
Shadow Guard
You cut down the last man so praised by the people of Ursus.
Shadow Guard
You need not be so overly prudent. We can offer you assistance. There are things only you may do.
'Emperors' Blade'
You would ask us to betray our country?
Shadow Guard
Young one... As I see it, you commit treason in proceeding with this plan of yours. What happens next is up to you, but it is Ursus who will suffer the consequences.
Shadow Guard
Having done all this, you must know: the nobles started this war to solve a problem, but war is far, far worse than the problem.
Shadow Guard
Where is it you will find ultimate peace in Ursus?
Shadow Guard
You put an end to that era by your own hands. You know it better than we.
'Emperors' Blade'
——
'Emperors' Blade'
Wei Yenwu's minions. How did you find us?
Shadow Guard
By our own effort. You have a lot to learn.
'Emperors' Blade'
Are you threatening me?
Shadow Guard
No. Only... we have aged.
Shadow Guard
And while you boast of loyalty to your homeland...
Shadow Guard
There are some matters, however loyal you may view them... in which we will play no part.
'Emperors' Blade'
What are you talking about?
Shadow Guard
That which we will not do.
Shadow Guard
(Gaulish) Let's take a step back, young one.
Shadow Guard
The Royal Guard has fresh blood. You have more life ahead of you than we. If this is wrong, you will have time to right it.
Shadow Guard
But you must think of Ursus, so as to avoid the same pitfalls.
'Emperors' Blade'
......
Shadow Guard
Who will right it?
'Emperors' Blade'
We will. You put a stop to your people.
'Emperors' Blade'
And you, old men... You're not in the Imperial Guard anymore. Don't interfere.
Shadow Guard
Indeed, it has been a long, long time since we last were. Such is why we may speak freely. Long life to you, young one.
A joint investigation team from Yan and Ursus submitted their reports two weeks after arriving in Chernobog.
They were clear: there was zero evidence that either of the two countries had anything to do with the tragedy.
They determined that the Chernobog Incident was created and caused by the Infected.
But the vagaries of political conflict meant that any further legal action to be taken against the Infected that might have been circulating in the major cities ultimately died in various legislatures, piles of unpassable bills...
Until finally meeting an unceremonious end in the old secretary's crank shredder during a cleanup.
Thus, the Chernobog Incident silently drew to a close.
I'm not a killer. Go this way. You can't stay here! If the Ursus Army finds you, they won't care if you're Infected or not. They're wiping out the city.
Ursus Civilian
......
Ursus Civilian
So you're the only one we can trust?
Crownslayer
If you want to live... you'll live.
Ursus Civilian
We'll live. Where should we go?
Crownslayer
...Alright. Sure. This way.
Crownslayer
I can't do anything about you hating us. But I hope we won't have any more hate for you, since you also lost your homes.
Crownslayer
Brothers! Here. Take them. They're not Infected, so be careful.
Reunion Member
Crownslayer? What about you?!
Reunion Member
Where are you going...? What should we do?
Crownslayer
Why are you still following me?
Reunion Member
You're a leader of Reunion...
Crownslayer
I'm nothing.
Crownslayer
I want to go back to Siracusa.
Reunion Member
Why? Why would you...?
Crownslayer
I'm weak. I need to get stronger.
Crownslayer
Back when I was leaving Siracusa to go to Ursus, to take revenge for my father, my teacher stopped me. Saying I was weak, and I couldn't do it.
Crownslayer
I didn't believe it. But it was the truth.
Crownslayer
My brain doesn't work like Talulah's. I'm not as skilled as my teacher. I'm weak.
Crownslayer
Even the cause I believed in... was just somebody's tool. You all know, right? Talulah betrayed us. No matter what the deal is, Reunion is over.
Nine
I don't think this is how the movement ends.
Crownslayer
Aren't you from Lungmen?
Nine
Yes. But where I come from doesn't matter to what I'm saying.
Nine
Whether or not she acknowledges it, and you have to realize it... No matter what happens to Reunion, Talulah already lit the flame.
Nine
And you can't just put it out like this.
Crownslayer
Sure. If that's how it is, I think they're better off going with you.
Nine
Are you asking that of me?
Crownslayer
Let's say I'm entrusting them to you. You might be lying to me here, but these people lost their homes. I won't lie to you.
Crownslayer
They'll be worse off with me.
Nine
Okay, are you willing to come with me?
Reunion Member
...Crownslayer...
Crownslayer
Ursus... us... Ursus.
Crownslayer
The Empire just hasn't gotten to the point where they'll treat all the Ursus like we do.
Crownslayer
Goodbye, all of you. Don't make the same mistakes I did.
I may be mourning us. Or reflecting on mortality and greed.
Rat King
Your sword says something else.
Wei Yenwu
At least my sword isn't cutting your throat.
Rat King
I know you don't mean it, Old Wei. If we were really going at it, who can say which one of us would drop first?
Wei Yenwu
Be serious please.
Rat King
I have to give you a few good jabs, old friend. You know, Hui-chieh and those Infected got it done.
Rat King
You should think things over again, the arbitrary way you go about them. You almost dragged Lungmen into a war and wrecked the whole place.
Wei Yenwu
I'm not sure about that. Even if Lungmen were to choose a certain future, it may yet choke it out over some small thing. A chance occurrence.
Rat King
The city didn't choose her. We should be proud that she chose the city.
Wei Yenwu
They're not mutually exclusive, Kojui. The city chose her too.
Wei Yenwu
Even if it wasn't ready to accept who she is...
Rat King
And you should tell that to her. It's time for me to go, Old Wei.
Wei Yenwu
Wait, Kojui!
Wei Yenwu
Did the Shadow Guard lie to me?
Rat King
Oh?
Rat King
They're your Shadow Guard, how should I know?
Wei Yenwu
I should've known you and Lin Yuhsia were working together.
Rat King
Your Shadow Guard aren't the Imperial Guards they once were. They're human now.
Rat King
Do you think they can stand to watch you make another mistake?
Wei Yenwu
So that means... when I told them to handle the Infected, then you...
Rat King
Shh. Heaven knows. Besides, when you knew we would—
Rat King
Head back soon. That sick old tiger has something for you.
Rat King
—Hui-chieh?
Rat King
Oh, you're here.
Ch'en
Uncle Lin.
Rat King
Look at you, dressed like this, it looks like you're headed right off somewhere.
Rat King
Do remember to visit from time to time.
Ch'en
I'm not sure I can.
Rat King
Then you'll have to write us, let us know you're safe out there.
Ch'en
I will, Uncle Lin.
Wei Yenwu
......
Wei Yenwu
This is where Talulah's father is buried... And your mother.
Wei Yenwu
In the end, they couldn't be buried in the city they loved. Or, in the case of your mother, it was a matter of both love and hate.
Wei Yenwu
I'll never forget the look of this place, Hui-chieh. I think of them whenever I see it... my sister, and my sworn brother, with whom I shared no blood.
Wei Yenwu
They are buried here.
Wei Yenwu
A place too small to house their passion, words too weak to express their remorse.
Ch'en
An unmarked grave.
Wei Yenwu
Yes. Heh... names perhaps mean more to the living.
Wei Yenwu
All around the world, we idealize burial, as all graves eventually disappear. No one knows a peaceful, eternal sleep.
Wei Yenwu
Catastrophe, war, abandonment, and all such things. Should a city disappear, the souls buried within disappear right along with it.
Wei Yenwu
And in the countless settlements that dot the land, I have never yet found one where the descendants knew the location of the graves of their ancestors.
Wei Yenwu
There is a form of burial called the Tombway, it denotes a part of a nomadic city's pathing as the burial ground, where the dead will be tossed from the city, with the passing cycle as a form of honor.
Wei Yenwu
I'm too forgetful. Too many things I forget too easily, too many things I want so desperately to forget.
Wei Yenwu
But dare not ever forget them.
Wei Yenwu
And so... I picked this place for them.
Wei Yenwu
I brought my sister to Lungmen, I met Fumizuki in Lungmen, along with Edward, who had fled to Lungmen.
Wei Yenwu
I can't say we made the best of friends, but he was smart, and bold.
Wei Yenwu
Kashchey ruled Lungmen from the shadows, and saw us as thorns in his side. We knew we had no choice but to depose him... it was the only way to give us a future in the city.
Wei Yenwu
Here, this grave, is the farthest Lungmen had ever been.
Wei Yenwu
After we beat Kashchey and exiled him from Lungmen, the city sat a few dozen miles away, bright, and full of hope. Our future awaited us.
Wei Yenwu
We drank, talked, laughed, enjoyed ourselves without a thought to our remaining fuel.
Wei Yenwu
We very nearly died of thirst until Adams, that sick old tiger, coughed up his car to come get us. Boy did he give Edward and I the business after that.
Wei Yenwu
Oh... he wasn't as old then. Nor was he as sick, or ferocious.
Wei Yenwu
But who cares? We were all having a good time.
Wei Yenwu
Lin was laughing... laughing like we didn't have blood on our hands... laughing like we were boys in the time of our lives.
Wei Yenwu
Edward was the scion of the highest Londinium nobility. And we were keeping that secret in Lungmen. But Kashchey already knew, he may have long since started plotting.
Wei Yenwu
He told my jealous twin and the Shadow of Londinium about Edward and my sister... about their relationship...
Wei Yenwu
I was forced to choose between Edward or my sister's unborn child.
Wei Yenwu
I hid it for ten years after Edward died. Only my brother and Kashchey knew. But now, Edward and my sister are both gone from this world.
Wei Yenwu
Someday, a Catastrophe will strike and wipe away everything. No one will remember the tragic lovers buried here. These two, who died because of me, will be forgotten.
Ch'en
I met 'Kashchey.' He may be more evil than either of us know.
Wei Yenwu
I can imagine.
Ch'en
This grave...
Ch'en
...Mother.
Wei Yenwu
It was my fault your mother wasn't so warm towards you. I had to have her marry that Yan noble, to protect her. I should have done better.
Ch'en
It's all in the past.
Ch'en
Promise me, Wei Yenwu. Promise me you won't let Lungmen turn into a grave.
Wei Yenwu
Never again.
Ch'en
As if I could trust a word you say.
Wei Yenwu
I never needed your trust. Hmph... But, you can believe me this one time. Like when I promised to train you.
Ch'en
——
Ch'en
You trained me well. I couldn't have gotten her back without you.
Wei Yenwu
I'm glad.
Ch'en
I don't think you've spoken to me in ten years as much as you did today.
Wei Yenwu
I think we talked a lot?
Ch'en
What I mean is as Ch'en Hui-chieh. Not as Superintendent Ch'en.
Wei Yenwu
Haha.
Ch'en
I'll be off.
Wei Yenwu
What are you planning to do with your sister?
Wei Yenwu
I have no feelings for Talulah anymore. Except guilt.
Ch'en
Good. That's what you should feel.
Ch'en
We're one pair of the countless separated siblings in this world. Most will never be reunited.
Ch'en
Even so, I can't just let her go. I still don't know what she is, it's still not clear.
Ch'en
There's a prison to keep criminals, but Lungmen we know today can't hold her.
Wei Yenwu
I can't make the Lungmen that could. Only you can create an L.G.D. that could keep the Infected and the uninfected together.
Ch'en
It doesn't have to be me. We all have our own part to play.
Ch'en
I know that truth, no matter how correct it might be. If the people of Lungmen don't accept it, then they won't. I've seen too much of the slums.
Ch'en
And if it is possible to build something like that, I'd like to do it with Rhodes Island first.
Ch'en
Talulah... no matter how long it takes, I will get her a fair trial.
Wei Yenwu
You really have grown up.
Ch'en
I don't need to hear that from you, Sir. I don't think it's a good thing.
Wei Yenwu
If I, on behalf of Lungmen, ask you to stay, will you do it?
Ch'en
Hah.
Wei Yenwu
If you and Talulah ever wanted to come back, Lungmen would make the move to take you back, if it can.
Wei Yenwu
There are so many things we can't do. But maybe them, in the future, maybe they could.
Ch'en
I just hope you haven't forgotten what you were reflecting on. That would be good enough.
Ch'en
Say hello to Aunt Fumizuki for me.
Ch'en
Oh...
Ch'en
Err...
Ch'en
Uncle...
Ch'en
Take care of yourself.
Wei Yenwu
......
Wei Yenwu
Hui-chieh!
Ch'en stops for a moment, but she does not turn back.
Ch'en
What is it?
Wei Yenwu
The path before you is long and hard. But I know you will master it.
There are lots of similar patents out there, but I think this cream is effective enough to have a market.
Medic
The main point is that even if it's not especially effective, it is very cheap to produce... all the components that came up in analysis were common, wild-growing plants.
Medic
It's a bit of a pain to get them from the northwest tundra, they're spread over such a wide area.
Medic
The inventor must've had more perseverance than medical knowledge.
It is not for the results that we commit to what we do.
Kal'tsit
We do something not because we want to see it done.
Kal'tsit
As a business, this may be a foolish strategy. But we live for more than material gain.
Kal'tsit
Our brave operators have proved that life, and its value, lay not only in ensuring the survival of one or even many people, or in its biological definition...
Kal'tsit
We have to live on in the moral, civilized sense. Because the future of life needs support, and Rhodes Island is that support.
Kal'tsit
We are fighting for a cause that will heal the scars on our world.
No matter what you say, she wasn't an official employee.
Kal'tsit
What of the consequences? What if our operators are outraged at you putting a Reunion operative on our casualty list? It's not something you should do.
She fought for the same goal.
Kal'tsit
Is that all it takes?
Yes.
Rhodes Island fights for the same idea.
Kal'tsit
Okay...
Kal'tsit
I'll do it. You've done your duty.
Kal'tsit
I hope you'll stay as you are now.
Kal'tsit
—And I'd like to apologize for that thing back there, Dr. {@nickname}.
Kal'tsit
The question you asked me back by the sarcophagus. I can't give you an answer. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever.
Kal'tsit
I don't want to hide the truth, but I really can't give you the answer you're looking for, unfortunately. Neither I nor PRTS have a good explanation. I hope you can forgive us.
Kal'tsit
But someday, when the time is right, it will appear to you.
Kal'tsit
Doctor...
Kal'tsit
When that day comes. When you finally know the truth. Will you be ready?
Kal'tsit
Another thing, Dr. {@nickname}.
Kal'tsit
Amiya has taken on a lot of burdens. I hope you could... avoid giving her more bad memories.
Kal'tsit
We should take more onto ourselves instead, those things which we can't even face ourselves. We can do it.
Kal'tsit
As long as you're here. As long as you are like this.
They're not here in an official capacity. The blonde tiger and the green-haired Oni... I think they're probably here to meet an old friend or something?
Closure
But hey, if we carry on like this, we could have the Ursus Royal Guard taking a stroll around the landship.
Rhodes Island Operator
When they came by, did the... patient, react at all?
Closure
Nope.
Closure
I can only ever guess at what Kal'tsit's thinking. Oh, I'll get the surveillance set up, you stand under that camera. C'mon, c'mon~
Even cystybeasts possess a nobility human beings lack. They forage the land day after day, never stopping, never giving up.
Kashchey
Unlike humans.
Kashchey
Humans kill one another for food. Humans harm one another for selfish desires.
Kashchey
As such, human beings use others to determine their own value, to measure their worth. You have what it takes to enlighten them them, you have the right to use them.
Kashchey
You know what you must do. I taught you all that you are... How do you overcome these countless years of oppressive history? The history of humanity is a history of struggle.
Kashchey
Wisdom, ideals, and methods... Your sight is my sight. Surrender your fantasies. Sooner or later, you will return to me.
My chest is an unlit fireplace on a winter day. Only honest words will get my heart beating again, whether or not an unpleasant truth may break it.
Islam Witte
No. Your Royal Guards would never betray Your Majesty. They will remain loyal to you until the world itself is consumed by fire, as long as you are the rightful Emperor of Ursus.
Fyodor
You and I both know those are but empty words. Would that the Guard did more than stand back and watch the old monster die...
Fyodor
Enough! No more platitudes, no more masks, I've grown weary! Witte, you are no fool. Tell me your thoughts! And look me in the eye as you do!
Fyodor
Where are the puppetmasters behind this plot?
Islam Witte
——
Islam Witte
Grand Duke Baikal, Deputy Marshal of the Third Army and Governor General Rosin, and Viscount Kerque.
Islam Witte
Of course, I still lack the evidence to prove that they actually orchestrated the entire ordeal.
Islam Witte
Further, when the Royal Guard went to hang them all in their homes. They found...
Islam Witte
These traitors, lacking the courage to face their crimes and your wrath, they took their own lives rather than bear their due punishment.
Fyodor
Cowards... absolute cowards! Have they not even the meager courage it takes to stand trial?
Fyodor
They must have known! They knew that a trial would reveal their base desires, their corrupted minds, to all the people of Ursus!
Fyodor
And yet... now we will never bring them to trial.
Islam Witte
True, Your Majesty. How regrettable that we must now keep this knowledge behind the curtain, rather than take it out onto the stage.
Islam Witte
Even a stupid burdenbeast will do more than chew grass when roused.
Islam Witte
Nevertheless, the Royal Guard disposed of their remains in the proper manner.
Islam Witte
Their rotten corpses will dangle, stinking from the ceiling. No one will dare take them down.
Islam Witte
Had their conspiracy succeeded, Ursus would have suffered another war, they would have seen their influence increase, proportionally draining the power of the Council... perhaps further degrading our cities.
Islam Witte
We are most fortunate they failed.
Fyodor
Traitors! Death was too good for them. I should feed them to the Flesh Buthidas!
Fyodor
But... that would be a terrible thing. No. We can't do that.
Fyodor
Pardon me, Witte. I didn't mean to lash out like that.
Fyodor
We must not go back down the road of ruin. No matter how much rage I have for my enemies, I cannot exhibit such behavior.
Islam Witte
You did not resort to them during the Great Rebellion. To this day, I feel that only a proper, blood-soaked threat would have stirred them.
Islam Witte
Pure terror is the only language those who terrorize the innocent can understand.
Islam Witte
Although I am personally opposed to such measures.
Fyodor
Unfathomable.
Fyodor
Must I resort to such ancient brutality, such poisonous traditions to stand against the ignorant?
Fyodor
And as these maggots seize the swords and shields of our empire, are even we left to naught but rot?
Islam Witte
Forgive me, Your Majesty. I do not have an answer to that question. From a constitutional perspective, I am not your legal spymaster.
Fyodor
More importantly, Witte, is the legend true? Is the 'Deathless Black Snake' a malignant deity that cannot be slain?
Fyodor
And are there other such deities like it in our realm? What can we do to free our people from this tyranny?
Fyodor
Witte, we stand now in the light... surrounded by darkness! Can we use fire to illuminate Ursus?
Islam Witte
Your Majesty, I must point to one fact. In recent decades, only the Duke of Kashchey, among all the Ageless, shows clear signs of involvement in these events.
Islam Witte
And even after his death, we are unable to confirm her identity.
Islam Witte
That tells us that the Ageless of Ursus... still fear you.
Islam Witte
They fear you and your contempt.
Islam Witte
Nearly a thousand years have passed since we overthrew the Hippogryph. A couple of dying monsters cannot stand against the might of the Ursus people.
Islam Witte
Let them do as they will. They will fail.
Islam Witte
We will find them, and we will destroy them. Your Majesty need not worry.
Fyodor
I hope it all proceeds as you've said.
Fyodor
What of the Infected situation? Any developments?
Islam Witte
Your Majesty is overhasty. You acted too quickly to close the Infected mines the armies held in the northwest.
Islam Witte
It may have been your hope to weaken the Army's supply reserves, or even show a little benevolence—
Islam Witte
But as much as the Army opposes you, your people also oppose this. They fear the Infected.
Islam Witte
It is unwise to go against your people, at this juncture. They by and large despise the Infected, and standing against the Army here could be seen as you standing against the people.
Islam Witte
You lack the resources to pursue this course.
Fyodor
......
Fyodor
Even if it's the right thing to do?
Islam Witte
Even if it's the right thing to do. This is to show leniency to the Infected by shoveling them into the jaws of hell.
Islam Witte
It is time, Your Majesty. Yurodstvo has been waiting at the door for over fifteen minutes. I think you may want to see to him.
Fyodor
Hmph. Raving lunatic with his holy visions! I'll make a proper joke of him.
Fyodor
But before that, Witte, do you think we can do it? Can we make Ursus great again?
Islam Witte
I don't know, Your Majesty. Now is not an appropriate time to answer you.
Islam Witte
But at least you do not lay waste to the world as your father did. That is already quite good.
Islam Witte
Talulah the Infected... hm.
Islam Witte
Should you break the curse of the Deathless Black Snake, then you should be able to break through everything that weighs upon you.
Islam Witte
I hope that one day we have a real chance to defeat the country of the last emperor.
