That's true as well, only I think they did not pick random Hunters to do that job. I mean, it is true that the Rose would settle everything, but it would require the best Hunter around, not to mention the important and most know, to forsake his life and use a weapon of mass destruction. No, I believe the Rose was an extreme measure they devised for a scenario in which the mission proved to be much more difficult than predicted and the time suddenly became a problem, as it did when the selection began and the citizens reached the palace.

Besides, Morel and Knov are most likely weaker than Knuckle and Shoot in combat, but they were chosen because, again, they were the best support Netero could hope to find, and Knuckle and Shoot would not have gone very far without their strategic advice.
