"Amiya once said that if conflict can be avoided, we should remain silent—if battle is necessary, then fight to the end!"
Everyone in the tent was suddenly summoned by Kanna. Just as everyone looked puzzled, Kanna spoke... While most people looked confused, Folinic understood Kanna's meaning, her face changing. "What's going on? What's wrong now? Who's the enemy? Where are they?"
From this series of urgent questions, it was clear that Folinic was concerned about this matter. After all, medical work in Wolumonde had just gotten on track. At this time, what was most needed was a stable and peaceful environment, and with so many people in the plaza, she couldn't even imagine what would happen if a battle broke out.
"Unfortunately, you guessed right... If I'm not mistaken, we are about to face a 'forced' conspiracy, a 'ridiculous' betrayal, and a round of 'incompetent' rage.
However, with Nian and me here, everyone's safety can be completely guaranteed. But once fighting breaks out, the already fragile nerves of the crowd, especially the Infected, could lead to a riot. At this time, I need you to control and protect the crowd and everything here.
Weedy, your abilities can be maximized in this environment, but are you willing to dance with little motty by the campfire tonight?"
Kanna shrugged. Although she could intercept them midway if she pursued them at their pace, what was the point?
After all, there's a saying, 'a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against him for a thousand days.' If this person is gone, won't there be a second and a third? Rather than gambling on the uncertain timing of the enemy's arrival, it's better to face this one, at least the enemy's arrival time is roughly within their control.
"To put it bluntly, we haven't shown our strength yet, so some people always think we're easy to bully. This time, we'll hit them hard, make them hurt and submit, and then no short-sighted fools will dare to provoke us again."
Nian also agreed with Kanna's choice. When it came to showing strength, her squad was least worried about it. However, because there were quite a few children in the team, they usually tried to choose a more gentle approach for problems that didn't require fists.
But it seemed that this gentle treatment did not bring peace and goodwill, so Kanna didn't mind picking up her fists to let the other party know what pain and death felt like.
"little motty is very happy! It wants me to tell Kanna-chan that we will prepare a perfect stage, and then we'll dance together!"
Weedy, who was called upon by Kanna, was very happy. She held up little motty in her hand, revealing a joyful smile. Ever since she understood her Originium Arts, most people would feel fear, even at Rhodes Island. Although the Doctors were gentle, their inner fear was completely evident in front of her.
But Kanna was different. From the first time she met Kanna, the only emotion she saw from Kanna was "affection." Because Kanna "loved" her and didn't reject little motty, Weedy had always waited for Kanna's attention. Finally, she had waited for it now, and at this moment, she was so happy she almost fainted. "I must prepare this 'performance' well; I absolutely cannot disappoint Kanna."
Weedy's hand, holding the doll, trembled slightly, making those around her think she was encountering such an exciting event for the first time and that the child was scared.
Just as everyone looked on worriedly, Weedy, with a smiling face, hugged little motty and walked out of the tent, humming a Siracusa song.
"Is Weedy okay? She's so young; if she has to affect such a large area, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it first." Anto said to Kanna, looking at the departing Weedy.
"Don't underestimate Weedy. Her strength is very powerful; she just hasn't learned to use it effectively yet. If you're worried, stay by her side tonight. If something goes wrong, you... well, I don't think you can control it. Gloria, you're responsible for accompanying Weedy." Kanna was very clear about Weedy's strength.
Don't let her young age and constant doll-carrying fool you; Weedy can actually be considered a master in top-tier mental Originium Arts. With just a thought, she can easily control opponents without mental defense capabilities. It can be said that among the entire squad, apart from Kanna herself and Nian, who are unconventional, Weedy's growth potential and skill level are among the highest in the team.
Upon hearing Kanna's words, Gloria nodded. "No problem, I will keep Weedy's mental state under control."
Anto and Folinic, standing nearby, inwardly complained after Gloria finished speaking. Everyone knew that Gloria was the most mentally unstable person in the team, so where did she get the confidence and courage to be responsible for others' mental well-being? "Everyone, get your Electro Seeds ready. When the annual meeting comes, we'll be responsible for protecting the plaza, and then the rest will be up to me."
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in the plaza outside, and under these circumstances, rain would be adding insult to injury for Wolumonde, making it impossible to use Pray for Rain, Kanna would have long since started setting up this spell she was best at and loved.
Outside Wolumonde, in a dilapidated small village, a group of Reunion Movement wanderers were packing their luggage. Since the battle of Chernobog, almost all of Reunion Movement's high-ranking members had disappeared, and most of the moderates had been led away by Patriot, that "traitor," leaving only the radical faction filled with hatred.
Without top-tier strong individuals, these rioters, whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Ursus people, were brutally suppressed by the Ursus regular army.
The people here were "survivors" who had learned the news in advance and fled quickly from within Ursus.
However, their luck wasn't very good. They had originally heard that Leithanien was very friendly to the Infected and planned to try to obtain some assistance there, then consider settling down or going elsewhere. But before they could even act, they ran into this natural disaster.
Although everyone survived by relying on this abandoned small village, many people's oripathy worsened again. At this point, the goods they had brought for "trade" were plundered by the natural disaster. Having lost most of their supplies, they had no choice but to flee.
Just then, the representative from Wolumonde fled into the village.
Originally, these Reunion Movement members were not going to accept outsiders and were very wary, but that man said there were large quantities of medicine and supplies in Wolumonde, and most importantly, the owner of these things—Rhodes Island.
