And with her strength, once she had him under control, if she were to leave this place, it would be a devastating blow to Reunion Movement outside.
Most of those he brought with him this time were his trusted subordinates and members of Reunion Movement who did not agree with Talulah's actions. In his eyes, these people were the purest remaining sparks of Ursus's Reunion Movement, and he could not allow them all to be buried in this place.
Moreover, Kanna's words had touched his heart. He had spent his entire life resisting fate, but just now, he had almost harmed a child because of a "prophecy," which filled him with some guilt.
"You all keep an eye on Patriot. I'll go deal with things outside."
Seeing Patriot agree so readily, Kanna was a bit confused. Had this stubborn Old Fogey also learned to retreat to advance, planning to act against Amiya when she was preoccupied?
So, she quietly exchanged a few words with ACE and Ascalon, who were beside her.
With their strength, and with their guard up, even if Patriot wanted to harm Amiya, it wouldn't be something he could accomplish quickly, giving her ample time to deal with Patriot.
Frostnova also breathed a sigh of relief after confirming Patriot's willingness to cooperate.
After all, she had come to understand and deeply agree with Rhodes Island's ideals over the course of the day. She absolutely did not want her adoptive father and Rhodes Island, an organization that could clearly be friends and allies, to become adversaries.
When Patriot launched his surprise attack on Amiya just now, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Thankfully, Kanna saved the day, blocking the attack and, through her eloquence and formidable strength, getting Patriot to agree to cooperation.
After receiving the Doctor's signal, she exerted force, and the towering ice walls around them rapidly lowered. The entire battlefield reappeared before everyone's eyes.
As the center of the battlefield, the rapidly melting ice walls were naturally seen by both Reunion Movement and Rhodes Island.
Everyone's movements slowed involuntarily, as the clash of the strongest combatants from both sides had occurred within these ice walls. The failure of either side would greatly affect the atmosphere of the battlefield.
This brief pause also allowed the Rhodes Island side to temporarily relax.
When the ice walls lowered, Patriot's tall figure did not appear before everyone. In that instant, all Reunion Movement members gasped in disbelief.
Among them, the Shieldguards, who had followed Patriot the longest, had red eyes and were preparing to launch a desperate charge towards Rhodes Island.
"What should we do!" Amiya also noticed Reunion Movement's unusual behavior. Everyone looked at her side as if they were sworn enemies.
"Patriot's status in Reunion Movement is indeed well-deserved! Kanna, how do you plan to resolve this?" Ascalon jumped to Amiya's side, surveyed the surroundings, and had to admit Patriot's standing among the Infected of Ursus.
Upon realizing he was gone, not a single person present fled. Everyone held their weapons, looking in this direction, ready to drag their own group to be buried with Patriot.
"Cough, cough! I'm about to let out a yell. You guys be sure to cover your ears, okay? Otherwise, if anything happens, I won't be responsible!" Kanna naturally saw the looks in the eyes of these Reunion Movement members. However, she was well-prepared for this. It was a move she had accidentally discovered when fighting a giant beast in Iberia, but she never had an opportunity to use it. Now, this scene was perfect.
Hearing Kanna's words, Amiya immediately reached up and folded her ears down. After all, though Kanna was usually a bit flighty, she never intentionally said anything useless.
And those familiar with Kanna's behavior all made the same gesture.
Frostnova and Patriot, not far away, were somewhat confused as to why Kanna's single sentence caused several people to follow suit. Just then, they saw Kanna's pale blue pupils split down the middle, a silver vertical slit almost dividing her entire eye in two, looking both mysterious and noble.
While the two of them were still marveling at Kanna's eyes, Kanna had already made all her preparations.
She first spread her consciousness across the entire battlefield, bringing everyone into her "sight," then opened her mouth and let out a "Roar!"
Although the cry was not loud, the moment it left her mouth, it was instantly integrated into her consciousness, unleashing the full suppressive aura of Rhodes Island's hungry dragon.
The next second, everyone felt a terrifyingly cold gaze fixed on them from all directions. The predatory amusement, like a beast before a hunt, made everyone profoundly uncomfortable.
Before they could even see what kind of beast was preparing to hunt them, a thunderous sound, as if right beside their ears, suddenly exploded in their minds.
In that instant, everyone seemed to understand what a dragon's roar truly meant.
With just that one roar, the Reunion Movement members on the field fell straight down like reaped straw.
Except for a few powerful and strong-willed individuals who were still dazed and sitting on the ground, the rest of Reunion Movement were all knocked unconscious by Kanna's "Roar!"
Not to mention Reunion Movement, because this move was an indiscriminate attack, even many on the Rhodes Island side fell, for example, Amiya and the Doctor were now peacefully unconscious in each other's arms.
ACE and Ascalon, nearby, twitched on top of the vehicle for nearly a minute before recovering.
"Cough cough! Holy crap, Kanna, that hit of yours was really something!" Even Rhodes Island's most composed ACE couldn't help but curse after being hit so suddenly.
Not far away, Frostnova lay slumped on Patriot's shield. Although Patriot was also shaken by Kanna's attack, he wasn't a flesh-and-blood creature anymore, so such a large-scale, high-frequency vibration didn't affect him too much. He merely looked with pity at his adopted daughter, who had been severely impacted by the blow.
"Ah~ I felt like I saw the Pope waving at me just now…" Exusiai, who had been lying on the car roof, complained to Shirayuki next to her after regaining consciousness, rubbing her head.
Shirayuki nodded with lingering fear. Just now, she too felt as if she had seen Princess Fumizuki / Wen Yue and her homeland, the Higashi, which she hadn't returned to in a long time.
Ten minutes later, everyone on the battlefield gradually regained consciousness. However, because of Kanna's full-screen, super-large-range, invincible AOE, Reunion Movement also sobered up quite a bit. At least everyone understood that after losing Patriot, even though their side seemed to have more people, they might not necessarily be a match for Rhodes Island's group. For example, this little girl who "dealt with" everyone with a single sound was not someone the current Reunion Movement members could handle.
Frostnova, who had just woken up, suppressed the weakness throughout her body and, with Patriot's help, went to the nearby Yeti Squad to wake them up.
