Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, the intelligence investigation and heritage methods of such top powers are far from what ordinary people can imagine.

Since they were able to send such troops to Garda during the special period of the battle for the War Apostle, it was natural that they had already speculated about the ruins here, and even if they didn't hit, they wouldn't be far away.

Both sides naturally have back hands in their hands, even if they don't pick it out, everyone knows it.

After that, Elise closed the door directly, but made a reservation with everyone before leaving, and nine hours later, the three parties gathered in the council hall with their respective troops.

Outside the council chamber, you will be greeted by the collapse of the ruins and the marks of the violent explosion.

In the ruins, the remains of the mechanical structures were carried like numb ants to the designated arsenal.

While most weapons are no longer usable due to damage, they are worth the time and resources spent on repairing, and even those alloys that have been smelted and purified from the wreckage can be used to make body armor and power armor.

At the same time, they also had to clear the dead from the rubble, and the cold and harsh environment of the underground space was not easy to give birth to plague due to the decay of the corpses, but everyone who died in the battle, if possible, should be buried immediately as a sign of respect.

In addition, some civilians affected by the war because of their houses also need to dig out the heating equipment and food as soon as possible, otherwise they may not be able to last for a few hours under such a scorching cold, and the City of Glimmer will also give some assistance in this situation, but after all, life still has to rely on itself.

Since the conference hall had already issued a warning to the whole city, there would be a more intense war in 9 hours, and the entire city of Glimmer was mobilizing the whole city.

Even the weaker males mostly spontaneously rushed to the makeshift shacks outside the arsenal to sort the wreckage of the mechanical bodies and make more usable equipment as soon as possible.

At this moment, most of the people in charge of cleaning up the rubble are only old people, frail or crippled women, including children, and even some young children who are still seven or eight years old, many of whom have just lost their fathers.

But no one cried out loud, and in this city, life and death are the most normal scenes.

And time is precious, because in 9 hours there will be a decisive battle that will affect even more extensively, and maybe after that, you may also become one of the fallen ones, in that case, you will not be alone.

Due to the extremely limited space in the entire Shimmer City, and the ground is all solid metal, it is not realistic to settle in the earth here.

Soon, the bodies that had been dug up from the rubble were piled up into a hill in the streets, doused with buckets of combustibles purified from combustible garbage and some precious fuel oil, and then set on fire.

The fire quickly spread through the mountain of corpses, and then gradually engulfed all the corpses, burning fiercely.

It was only then that a slightly suppressed whimper was finally heard from the crowd.

It's just that reality doesn't leave them much time to grieve and remember, and it doesn't take long for someone to start shouting and leading people to clean up a new piece of ruins.

This... It's war.

The winner devours everything, and the loser loses everything.

And no matter whether you win or lose, you can't avoid death.

Lily watched David stunned at the cruel and sad scene in front of her, and couldn't help but comfort:

"It's good to be grateful, after all, they made a sacrifice to accept us, but don't feel too sorry, because even if we don't come, with the speed at which Alice breaks through the blockade, I'm afraid the City of Glimmers won't be too far from being destroyed."

Hearing this, David pursed his lips and touched Lily's head, "So, let's do what we can, end this nightmare, and if everything goes well, we will have a good harvest." ”

"Eun." Like a cat, Lily stood on tiptoe and rubbed her head against David's hand.

As if he had suddenly thought of something, David frowned and said to himself, "It's just... I always thought that Elise's plan wouldn't be so simple, wouldn't... What key is she hiding from us? ”

"Oh, when Elise touched my head, in addition to a letter to Sylvia, she also sent me a compressed file package, as if she wanted me to pass it on to you..."Lily said suddenly.

"For me? Why didn't you say it earlier! David's big hand, which was still gently caressing Lily's head, instantly turned into a violent tremor of punishment, and knocked down!

"How many times have you said it, don't knock my head, the hard drive will be bad!"

Lily immediately stopped doing it, covered her smoking head, and said aggrievedly: "And I'm not telling you, Elise was also mysterious when she handed it over to me, obviously she didn't want others to know, and I'm not stupid..."

David suddenly looked at Lily with a look of surprise, as if to say, it turns out that you also have times when you are not mentally retarded?

"What kind of eyes are you!" Lily seemed to understand David's thoughts, and the processor almost went down due to an instant overload of information flow...

"Ahem! Said in the house. ”

Davy also knew that this was not the time to joke, so he pulled Lily and walked to the rest room arranged for them by the quartermaster of Shimmer City.

In the living room, he happened to meet Edward and Wren who had just treated their wounds, and in the face of their warm greetings, David nodded slightly in response, and took Lily into the innermost room in a hurry, slamming the door shut, leaving everyone with a confused face.

"It's true that a shot after the war and a cigarette after the war is true, but there's no need to be in such a hurry," Wren muttered to himself, rubbing his chin.

Miller behind him also showed a puzzled look, and then glanced at Sakura Tsukichi who was sitting quietly on the sofa, "I said... If you want that, isn't it the wrong person? If I'm not mistaken, Mistress Lily seems to be a robot..."

Edward, who was smoking a cigar on the side, glanced at the two old drivers with his mentally retarded eyes, and said in his heart that the realm of the head is beyond the guess of you mortals.

And Grea, who was cowering in a corner of the living room like a hill and licking her wounds, also looked up at everyone in confusion, and saw that they were all quiet, staring obscenely at the door as if trying to catch something, so she silently lowered her head and continued to lick her wounds, but gave David a small report in the center of her mind.

So the next second.

Bang!

With a popping sound, a dumbbell broke through the door and smashed the hapless Wren directly into the wall...

Sitting on a couch with a mummy-like black man, Miller's head turned to look at his colleague who seemed to be silent, and began to swing.

Xu was too nervous, a broken blood vessel on his head ruptured again, and he was bleeding arrows, and the amount of bleeding was huge...

"Medic! Medic! Edward jumped to his feet like a burning butt, and was the first to escape.

"Fuck off! Don't spend all your days thinking about what you don't have. At that moment, David's voice came through the crack in the door.

The rest of the people in the living room scattered in an instant, and finally Grea, who was the kindest, remembered something, tore Wren out of the hole in the wall, and dragged him out...

Seeing that it was finally quiet outside, David in the bedroom turned his head and said to Lily, who was embarrassed by being misunderstood by everyone:

"Alright, you can give it to me."
