He does not hesitate to do anything; No mercy to anyone......

It's as if you're completely closing off your feelings.

Immersed in a lot of work......

I don't have even the slightest interest in anything else.

This is undoubtedly what Lemuel Lavria was, and is today, every day.

And for his sister Vane, he is like a walking corpse.

And she watched her brother become like this step by step, but she couldn't do anything, which made her hate it even more unbearable-

"Why is this happening?!"

She didn't know, and she didn't know what else she could do to get her brother back to what he used to be......

It's like being forced into the "consciousness of another person" in that familiar body.

And the crux of the problem is a military operation 15 years ago -

and a surprise attack before that......

In that operation, we did win, but on the other hand, the sacrifices we paid were hundreds or thousands of times greater than the number of enemies we had on our hands!

The difference in combat strength between the two sides instantly plunged the entire coalition army into a nightmare panic!

"No, I don't approve of it! If you continue to fight, you will be wiped out! ”

- Someone naturally came up with such an idea and blurted it out without hesitation!

There is no doubt that with the defensive line on the verge of collapse, retreat is the best policy, but ......

At that time; At that moment, everyone received an order like a thunderbolt from the sky-

"No retreat!"

This is undoubtedly an order from headquarters, but it is too callous!

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly stiffened as if it had frozen over......

"So you mean to let us go and die for nothing? I don't want this kind of thing?! ”

This is not only the opinion of the majority, but also the bottom line that everyone insists on......

Such discussions; Such quarrels always go on and on, and no matter how much time it takes, the result is unlikely to satisfy everyone.

"The capital is one step behind us, how can we escape at such a time?!"

"Haven't you thought about this kind of thing? Or are you all cowards?! ”

"If it weren't for the high salary, who would want to set foot in such a ghost place!"

"What did you say?!"

As time went on, the guys who advocated the withdrawal of troops naturally became the target of public criticism-

"Joseph, in that case, do you want everyone to accompany you to your death?!"

Gradually, the discussion turned into a hysterical roar of a group of reckless men......

And they're just trying to vent their emotions, at least on the surface, it doesn't make much difference.

The air in the whole room was also like the top of Mount Tai, which made people breathless.

"That's enough......"

Leela couldn't bear it anymore, and in the blink of an eye, she left her seat and came outside the tent without saying a word......

"Boring, HQ is counting on those guys to win?"

"It wasn't possible in the first place, was it?"

How can such an army, without any concept of "team", win?

But the truth is that even if you see it, you have to be one of them...... It's ironic -

Of course, the quarrel did not die down because of her departure.

On the contrary, it has intensified.

"What's wrong?"

Lemuel followed him outside the tent, and the two stood side by side.

"Ensign, what's wrong? Do you have any comments on the agenda of the meeting just now? ”

"Opinions? That kind of thing has been fed to dogs a long time ago, right? ”

For an instant, Leela couldn't help but think so. Of course, she didn't say this idea directly-

"I just can't stand the atmosphere. Obviously the enemy is close at hand, but they are arguing here? It's unreasonable! ”

However, he also expressed his dissatisfaction bluntly.

"If this situation continues, we will definitely lose, and we will undoubtedly be wiped out...... Do you understand? ”

Needless to say, everyone understands this......

But in fact, no one can change it.

This is the current reality.

"Everyone has selfishness, and this is a problem that no one can avoid."

In an instant, he said something that could never be spoken......

Then, in the blink of an eye, these words ignited Lela's emotions again as if they were adding fuel to the fire—

"But isn't it time to be united?"

"It's weird that even a three-year-old kid can understand the truth, but those guys pretend not to see or something, right?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, Lemuel burst out laughing—

"I see, I see. But ensign, we can't force our personal ideas on others, can we? ”

"They were just trembling with fear...... At the end of the day, that's what it is. ”

"Because, there are people at home who are waiting for them to go back day and night, and I think such people also exist for ensigns, right?"

"So, we're going to work as hard as we can, right?"

For such a gentle questioning, Leela couldn't refute it, so she could only admit it-

"Indeed, my sister is also waiting for me to go back."

"In that case, she doesn't want you to die here. After all, there's nothing here but loess. ”

"It would be too shabby to make such a place a place a home. What do you think? ”

At this moment, Lettilia had a certain understanding of this man's sophistry......

However, although this seems like a clever sophistry, it is not nonsense.

And it was surprisingly convincing, and at the same time surprisingly made her feel unwilling-

"Yes, as you said, my sister and I made an agreement to go back alive, but that incident is completely unrelated to what we're talking about right now, right?"

"The enemy is on the other side of the river, huh?"

"If any of us were to fight at such a time, you wouldn't be ignorant of what the consequences would be, would you?"

- Lemuel did not affirm or deny this, his ambiguous attitude was simply unpredictable.

"Of course, I didn't say anything like that."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, just behind the two of them, the roar that no one expected broke through the night in the blink of an eye!

"What?! Where did it come from? Why at this time?! ”

Lemuel dodged the fireballs and rays that fell like a downpour; While questioning!

"Could it be that the other party has already noticed it?"

Apparently this was a surprise attack that no one expected!

"How can you think about this now, instead of going to the hangar quickly, if it is blown up, we will really be wiped out!"

As they spoke, Leela and Lemuel led their teams to Hangars 32 and 98, which seemed to be just a step away.

Their tactical aircraft are undoubtedly being kept here.

However, upon arrival at their destination, they are greeted with ......

But it was a raging fire, and the hangar at the center of the fire was undoubtedly wailing......

- It's already burned to the point that it's very difficult to get close!

"Hurry up and find a way to extinguish the fire!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lela's voice fell, Lemuel took the fire extinguishing device, and then everyone forced the fire back as fast as they could!

Trying to leave a barely passable path.

"No matter what, we must make sure that the tactical aircraft is intact, if we lose those guys, we will die without a place to bury!"

Under the leadership of Lemuel, everyone fearlessly pounced on the raging fire!

However, this is a surprise attack that no one expected......

- The "beast" has no wisdom.

It is precisely because of this long-standing consensus that no one is guarded.

But at this moment, everyone fully understands the consequences of "self-cleverness......

The fire burned more and more, and no matter how much water was used, it could not be extinguished.

And at this moment, in the temporary command room, those generals who seemed to have experienced a hundred battles in the past are being overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of a large number of enemy troops!

"Damn, where the hell did those things come from?!"

- And there is no doubt that in the face of a menacing enemy, temporary countermeasures will not be of any use!

Maybe this is the so-called "karma"?

"I don't know, the radar hasn't detected the source of the vibration until now!"

This was followed by the roar of various instruments like lightning and thunder. It's just harsh and unbearable, and it can't stop!

"The defensive barrier to the southwest is running out, Captain!"

"Hurry up and contact Lemuel and his team...... Let them hurry up!

"Even if it's a stubborn defense; Even if I'm alone, I'll have to find a way to plug the gap! ”

"At the same time, the transfer of non-combatants has accelerated. Do your best to ensure a safe line and buy time for dispatching combat power! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lemuel's communication device sounded as expected—

"Sure enough, I said it was almost time to come—"

"Then Maz, Yuki, and Gareth, let's go meet them!"

"Yes! Captain!! ”

However, one of them was trembling with fear by the ruins in front of him.....

"Really, what's wrong Gareth? This is your first time participating in actual combat as a corporal, right? ”

"What if it turns out like this? Are you afraid until now? ”

Lemuel mercilessly beat him down as he shivered through the public channel.

"I'm so sorry! But—"

Suddenly, at this moment, Gareth could clearly hear his own heartbeat, and feel the cold sweat oozing from his head.

"No, you can't do it manually!"

However, before he could carefully taste the fear in his heart, he was interrupted by Yuki's roar in the blink of an eye—

"Coward, get out of here!"

"Who? Who do you say is a coward?! ”

Suddenly, he realized that his body could move freely!

"Captain, I'm sorry for the delay, but I'm fine now!"

As soon as the words fell, as soon as Lemuel gave an order, the three tactical planes were wrapped in blue flames one after another and soared into the sky!

"Yuphie, Ekya, we're keeping up too!"

"Yes!"

Immediately after, after them, Lila also ran in a completely different direction with the members of the team......

Because the order given to them was to support and eliminate a part of the enemy that was raging in the medical branch.

"I can already see it!"

Then, in Akya's incredulous exclamations, the three of them arrived at their destination!

And of course, there are crowds of people running around here......

Those guys look like death to these badly injured people!

"Everyone, go to the shelter!"

As soon as Ekya's words fell, the streets began to rise and fall—

Slowly turning the structure into something like steel and concrete, while isolating everyone from their tactical machine!

"Then you can fight without distractions! Hey! ”

- As soon as Ekaya's words fell, she rushed into the densest place of the enemy group alone, and slashed with a sword!

"Hey! I told you not to make your own decisions! ”

And in the face of Yufie's warning and rebuke, she completely took it as the wind in her ears-

"What do you say? The wind is so strong I can't hear it! ”

This guy is treating actual combat as a game again-

The question is, isn't this a game?!

Does she understand this?

But then again, with that kind of strength, it probably doesn't really matter, right?

A simple sentence made her stomp her feet in anger!

"Why are you always doing what you want!"

While complaining like this, he kept complaining; On one side, it formed a triangular defensive formation with Lela, one left and one right, clinging to her—

That's what "teamwork" is all about......

"Huh? Obviously, the captain acquiesced, didn't he? So that means you can make a big fuss, right? Right? Captain—"

Faced with the sudden topic, Lila couldn't help but complain-

"Why the hell did I recruit you into the team in the first place?"

Then she replied, "Huh? Isn't it because of my outstanding fighting ability? ”

There was no way to deny this, so she could only smile bitterly.

"Don't overdo it......"

"Yes—"

Akoya deliberately lengthened the end note...... In other words, this guy definitely does not intend to be obedient......

That's why people love and hate.

"Wouldn't it? Are these guys going to consume us? Wave after wave? ”

Faced with Yufie's question, the two didn't even bother to answer.

And as time went on, the tactical machine also seemed to be rolling in a pool of blood, covered in blood!

"Really, did you know that the cleaning costs are hundreds of dollars!"

In the blink of an eye, Yufie, who had just finished speaking, was like venting his anger, chopping the enemy who pounced on him without hesitation.

"This month's salary, I'm going to buy the peripheral?!"

"I said Yufie, don't shout about your otaku fetish at this time......"

Lila laughed and corrected.

Immediately after that, two or three more knives were added to make them completely breathless. However, at the same time, the tactical aircraft also burst out with an expected sorrowful roar because of the huge impact that it had endured for a long time!

"Hurry back! It's no longer here! ”

- "Stand back, but what are the orders we received?" ”

"At this time, it is important to save your life, and I am not going to obey the kind of order that is equivalent to a gag!"

This is undoubtedly the voice of the two of them!

"Then go ahead!"

That's right, until you run out of ammunition......

Because, there is no choice but to continue fighting.

Because you must not choose to flee in order to protect yourself. In the end, after pondering and meditating, she only came to the only conclusion, and that was-

"All together". However, this is an option that can never be chosen......

In desperation, she could only fly into the sky, overlooking the endless increase in enemies......

Leela became in a dilemma in the blink of an eye—

"Even though I still have a neutrino bomb with me, if I use that, there is no doubt that this area will be wiped out......"

"There is even a possibility that this area will be vaporized in an instant!"

But she couldn't think of anything else than this equivalent of "suicide".

So he decisively conveyed the order through a private channel -

"What? Captain, are you serious?! ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuffie and Akoya were no less surprised than a bolt from the blue......

But they also know better than anyone that Rila is more than just talking.

I really plan to do that, and I'm afraid I'm going to use myself as bait......

Sure enough, in the next instant, she unlocked the combination lock of the only neutrino bomb!

Then I dropped it without hesitation! In the blink of an eye, it is as dazzling as the midday sun!

"Yuffie, Ekya, get out of there!"

"Got it!"

Finally, at the last moment, when I watched as I was dragged into the center by a huge, black hole-like explosion vortex, the jade was burned......

The three of them still broke away as if they were in danger.

However, the half of the body of the body has already shown obvious signs of melting!

And just as they were about to anoint the soles of their feet, orders followed......

It's like a prank—

"Second Lieutenant Lettilia, go to support the Falcon Squad now!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's enough! Our bodies are on the verge of turning into scrap metal! ”

"In this case, you still have to support that guy?"

Really. Are those people in the water in their brains?

Of course, Yuffie and Akoya were disgruntled at this moment.

But no one sympathizes with them, and they can only be described as "embarrassed" -

The three of them looked at each other, and even if Leela wanted to refuse, there was no good excuse.

"Got it, get over now!"

So she had to bite the bullet -

And what Lela, who rushed to Lemuel's location, saw a scene of corpses piling up like mountains and corpses all over the field-

"What is this?!"

Not only that, but the defense line that originally seemed to be an impregnable wall was torn open a huge gap at this moment!

An innumerable number of enemies are pouring in from this growing gap—

"Where's the Commander!?"

- Is it possible that you are trapped? The guy ......

Or is it ......

Then Leela found out, and just like Yufe's question, Lemuel was nowhere to be found at this moment.

Originally, he and his team should be the backbone of the defensive line.

"Yuphie, Ekya, I'm here for you! No problem, right? ”

Although Yuffie and Akoya agreed, they still couldn't help but complain—

"Hey, as a commander, don't cause trouble to others, okay!"

Yuffie's complaint seemed justified at this moment......

But even so, Leela made the decision to find Lemuel first.

"I'll leave it to you, don't let me down, right?"

However, Leela could never have imagined that such a seemingly inconspicuous decision would be exchanged for her own life......

No one expected the next development, and it directly became a defeated *** in joint operations-

"How long has it been since I remembered this?"

Just as Vane frowned at the turmoil of the dream, she was surprised to find that the sky had already been dyed with the color of morning dew.

At this time, I suddenly heard a knock on the door as if I couldn't get excited anymore—

No, that's probably beyond knocking on the door—

"This is coming, are you in such a hurry and have any bad news that you can't wait to tell me?"

"Also, stop knocking, I hear—"

It was undoubtedly Matz's voice......

However, he denied this without even thinking about it.

"Good news!"

As soon as the words fell, the door opened—

"Good news? Anyway, you calm down first! ”

"Your Highness, he has passed the dangerous period!"

There is no doubt that when he heard such news for the first time, Vane's thinking came to a complete standstill......

The moment she came back to her senses, she rushed to the location of the medical team with her legs drawn.

- There was no doubt that she wanted to confirm it with her own eyes. But that's not to say you don't believe Matz's words.

"Really, really!" So when she fully confirmed this fact, she danced like a child in the blink of an eye......

"In that case, it's almost time for us to make arrangements for our return trip...... I'm afraid that if I delay any longer, something unexpected will happen. ”

"What do you think?"

However, Vane clearly had not yet recovered from his great joy......

It wasn't until Madz walked up to her and stared at her that Vane realized what he was talking about.

"That's right, but have you completed the overhaul and maintenance of the airframe?"

"Yes, it's almost done!"

Looking at that serious and satisfied appearance, Vane couldn't help but be happy-

"Now there is no one else, you don't have to act so reserved."

After listening to her advice, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then in that case, I'll ask you to arrange it, by the way...... I'm a little worried about the situation of Yuki and Gareth. ”

"I'll try to get in touch with that again...... The imperative at this point is to find a way to return as soon as possible. ”

"After all, someone is urging you to keep ......"

Then, as if planned, everything was done, including the handover of the wounded.

- "Come along, too!" Vane, of course, was referring to Natalie and Hatfield.

“......”

"Really?"

"What are you still worried about, didn't you decide a long time ago?"

A simple sentence dispelled Hatfield's concerns.

"I'm sorry, it seems like it's because of us that we're what we are......"

Natalie has always been concerned about Lemuel being seriously injured in order to get the three out of the game.

Even though, no one has ever blamed either of them for this......

"I don't want to hear anything like that anymore, do I? That's the end of it, right? ”

So far, the past is not to blame. But can it really be so understood?

But...... The guilt in her heart disappeared without a trace without a trace in just a few words.

"Anyway, get out of here now. If you have something to say, I'll wait until then. ”

"It's on track as planned, Your Highness the Princess—"

Of course, her guilt can't just be removed with her words......

But it's okay to keep it, right?

However, just when Vane thought that this journey would be uneventful, an alarm suddenly sounded.....

As a matter of course, it gave everyone a head start!

"A large number of enemies appeared from the rear and were about to collide with ——!"

As soon as the words fell, it shook violently, as if the sky was spinning, as if the whole body had overturned! "What about the number of enemies?!"

"Immeasurable!" At this moment, the sharp fangs of the claws that fell from the sky had slowly soaked in from the broken glass fragments of the dome—

"Get out of here! Otherwise, it will be reduced to a meal on the plate! ”

However, almost all of them are already messing around like headless flies......

No one cares about running away...... And even if they had to run, they didn't know where to run now!

It's really bad luck......
