Concerned about the unknown outcome of the war, and in the process of repairing the warship, Siloh has spent more than twenty days on this small island.

On this day, still while the ship was being repaired, the boy suddenly found something black from the cabin. The inside of this thing is round, but the surface of the body is densely covered with thorns, which are very sharp and of different lengths, making it difficult to get started. But fortunately, there is a transparent round hole in the center, as long as you take a long rope or stick, go directly through the round hole, so that you will not hurt your hands when you lift it.

The child came to the deck with such an object and asked Silo, who was repairing the deck, "What is this? ”

Xiluo raised his eyes, and his expression suddenly became serious: "It's really dangerous." It was a weapon, called the Spike Ball, which was invented by the Lepelian people on the mainland. ”

This thing is called a spike because it is usually worn on chains. Strep Balls are not very powerful on their own, but when multiple Strep Balls are strung together on a weapon called a "chain cart", the power is daunting. It is a heavy weapon that can be used both defensively and advantageously when attacking.

The bottom of the chain cart is generally equipped with four or six wheels, which can be used in the field. However, the lightest hammer cart has only two wheels and can be easily controlled by only two soldiers, one of whom pushes and the other controls the spin speed of the chain. The control mechanism on the hammer cart is so clever that even a large hammer cart can easily make the chain spinning ball run quickly without exerting a lot of effort on a single person.

There is a large turntable above the chain cart, and the inclination and direction of the turntable can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the actual combat needs. When in use, the Spike Ball spins rapidly with the tilting turntable, constantly smashing enemies in front of or to the side, stopping them from attacking. The chain cart is very well structured, the distance and direction can be well controlled, and it will definitely not hurt the operating soldiers behind the tank. Another important feature is that it can also be used as a ranged throwing weapon after removing the large turntable above.

If you are unfortunate enough to be hit by this fast-spinning spike chainball, you will be seriously injured or fatal. Of course, it also has the disadvantage that it can only be used best on a wide and flat battlefield, and if the enemy has a chance to go around the back of the chain cart, it loses its most advantageous effect. Therefore, on the battlefield, most of the time, this kind of chain ball cart is used in dozens, or even hundreds, at the same time. Swinging them out in a row and advancing side by side not only hinders the enemy's attack and makes it difficult for the enemy to use their fists and kicks temporarily, but also protects their own attacking soldiers behind the rows of chain carts, effectively reducing casualties.

If used on a ship, this heavy spike ball will be placed on a throwing weapon, mainly for throwing the enemy's approaching ships, with the main purpose of destroying the enemy's ships, causing the ship to leak and sink.

In this world, the Lepeilian people on the mainland have advanced metallurgical technology, especially the Lepeilian people in the eastern continent, they have invented many dangerous weapons, and the chain ball cart is just one of them.

"Why did the Lepelians invent such a dangerous thing?" asked the child curiously.

"For the war. Siloh replied.

"What is war?" the child immediately asked.

"War ......," Siloh thought for a moment before replying, "War is all about killing each other. ”

"Why kill each other?" the child wondered.

"To survive. Silo replied thoughtfully, although this is not the Streamer's view of existence, but it is the reality of Lepeilian's world.

"No, no! Survival doesn't have to be achieved by killing each other. The child immediately retorted.

Siloh was surprised to find that he was speechless. Because, on the road of civilization in the world of Lepeilian, it is the lust of the Lepelian people that has always been dominant, not the intellect. Their penchant for war has reached the point of no return, and they have never thought of other, more tolerant ways of existence, and the mere fact that war is caused by cultural differences within the race is almost enough to destroy itself. Therefore, as long as the streamer still stays in the world of Lepeilian, he will involuntarily get involved in it.

So Silo stopped talking, and only buried himself in mending the broken deck, although this ship was not his, it was his only support to return to the Western Continent. Before that, he had never imagined that one day he would work so hard to repair an enemy ship that had attacked them, but it was all for the sake of returning to the Western Continent.

Not long ago, in order to prevent the enemy from coming ashore, Silo and his people had to take the lead in attacking the enemy before the enemy ships docked, intending to intercept the enemy on the coastline. The two sides fought for most of the day, and in order to shorten the battle, Xiluo found an opportunity to board the enemy ships and destroy all their weapons...... But when he realized that the weather might change abruptly, and planned to quickly evacuate from the ship, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sudden storm caught everyone off guard, and the enemy soldiers on the ship were instantly swept into the sea by the raging waves.

At that time, although Xiluo, who was standing on the enemy warship, did not fall into the sea, he was dragged away from the Western Continent by the waves along with the people and the boat. It wasn't until the storm finally stopped beating that he couldn't even open his eyes, and he realized that the outline of the Western Continent had disappeared from view. He was the only one left on the ship, and none of the enemies on deck were spared. After that, the storm at sea continued for many days, and at last when the wind and sun were good, he had drifted to this nameless island. The unknown outcome of the war has always haunted his heart, and he is constantly worried about his people, and his heart is like an arrow.

After another six or seven days, the ship was basically repaired, and Silo was finally ready to set sail.

But unexpectedly, the child would also board the ship with him. It was only then that Silo realized that the child was really planning to go with him. Suddenly remembered that when he first drifted to this island, the child had thought more than once that he had come here to find him, but then Siloh was so engrossed in repairing the ship that he had no time to think about what the child had said.

To take him away, or not to take him away?Sillo looked back at the child behind him, and asked himself silently in his heart over and over again.

Until now, Siloh has not been able to determine the true origin of this child. What race is he, where does he come from? What if he is taken away like this, and what if one day his people come back here to look for him? Although the Lepelian people on the island do not welcome the child, it is relatively safe, at least there is no war, and the child will not be hurt more.

The situation on the mainland is quite different. Regardless of whether it is the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent, the war has never stopped for more than a thousand years. The Lepelian people have a habit of destroying habitats and killing each other, and have long been accustomed to killing to satisfy various desires. The more advanced the weapon, the less valuable life is in their eyes, and the richer the benefits, the cooler their minds will be. When it comes to manipulating lethal weapons in a large-scale war, they will never care about a small child, especially a child of another race.

Due to an accident, the Streamer has been trapped in the world of Lepeilian for more than a thousand years. They are always looking forward to returning to their homeland, but they are struggling to find a way back, and the time they stay seems to have become indefinite. In order to survive in the world of Lepeilian, the Streamers are forced to accept war. It is difficult to count the number of battles they have fought over the past thousand years, but they have no choice until they can return to their homeland.

In this helpless world, war and death have become the only means and the only way to survive, how ironic and contradictory, it is no wonder that even children cannot agree with it. He was so young, so cute, that he didn't seem to understand anything, but he seemed to understand everything. No matter what race he was, Siloh didn't want him to experience the never-ending war.

Is loneliness more terrible, or is war more cruel?

In the end, he could only say to the child apologetically: "At least for now, I can't take you away." ”

Then, Siloh forced himself to withdraw his guilty gaze and turned to leave alone.

When the boat gradually sailed north, away from the island, the child's innocent little face was still clearly visible in Xiluo's heart. He couldn't help but think of the beginning of the encounter, when the child had asked him with a look of anticipation, "Are you here to find me......?"
