059. 【Shadow Assault】

"You've been staring at me for four hours. Aren't you going to rest your eyes?"

Yavanna opened her eyes, looking at Nomi, who was glaring at her with one eye. She kindly suggested:

"Relax, I won't run away. You've already taken my compressed biscuits and personal terminal. Traveling in the outer world without transport is no different from seeking death."

"Shut up." Nomi raised a wrench and pointed at her, disdainfully saying, "There's not a single good thing about the Four Nations. Our Rose Army kills dogs and lackeys like you."

"Mr. Li Aozhi is also from the Four Nations, from the Red Arrow Empire. You seem to get along well with him."

Yavanna said calmly, noticing a flicker in Nomi's eyes. She then blinked:

"Is it because you like him?"

"Fuck you (polite Frost-Plated). How could I like such a weak, pretty boy? Don't disgust me."

Nomi shivered with disgust:

"We're just cooperating, each taking what we need, so we've temporarily ceased fire."

"Since the Rose Army can cooperate with people from the Four Nations, I think we can also cooperate with Frost-Plated people."

Before Yavanna could finish her sentence, Nomi stomped on the car door beside Yavanna's head, revealing a ferocious smile from beneath her bandages.

"Yes, of course, we can cooperate—after all, we're still compatriots from a racial standpoint!"

She lowered her head, her face twisted, and the bandages showed signs of tearing:

"—My parents, my siblings, my mentors, and comrades all died at the hands of compatriots! You're talking about cooperation now, so why don't you give back their lives?"

Her knuckles whitened as she gripped the wrench, her eyes filled with hatred and anger.

"Louis, Rowenko, Julei, Oren, Lilia, Teray... The entire village was forced out of their homes and into the outer world wilderness by your Frost-Plated army because there was a rich iron mine in the village. They starved and froze to death along the way. Now you're talking about cooperation? I spit on that! Every inch of Frost-Plated land is buried with the blood and bones of outer world people. You bastards born from sinful soil all deserve to die!"

She was extremely emotional, but even so, she didn't act violently. Noticing Yavanna's confusion, Nomi sneered:

"Think I'd hit you? No, no, no, we in the Rose Army aren't like the beasts of Law IV. We treat prisoners well. No matter how angry I am, I won't do such a thing."

After saying that, she put down the wrench, crossed her arms, and looked down at Yavanna.

Yavanna was silent for a moment, then said:

"I've never abused a prisoner. Never. During interrogations, I use reasoning and evidence to leave them speechless, forcing them to confess. I've never killed anyone. In fact, I've only been working for three months..."

"Oh, now you're playing innocent?" Nomi sneered.

Yavanna shook her head: "I'm not lying. In fact, I think the government and media have somewhat stigmatized the Rose Army..."

"Stigmatized, my ass. We're rebels. Sooner or later, we'll tear down the whole Frost-Plated! Rebuild a country for ordinary people on your ruins."

Nomi interrupted loudly:
