Nearly two hours later.

Robin slammed the door in a rage and left the Army headquarters, flew onto an automatic maglev parked at the door, and hurried back to the No. 9 warehouse of the TR-735.

After more than two hours of combat discussions with Principal Achille, Robin finally got a glimpse of what it means to be inch-wise. Originally, he thought that Colonel Archill was just trying to borrow his strong combat power and let him participate in a raid force to carry out sabotage operations behind enemy lines. For such a task, Robin would have also approved. But I didn't expect that this stingy Colonel Archer didn't arrange any surprise troops at all, and the so-called sabotage operation behind enemy lines was simply tailor-made with him as the main body.

In Colonel Achill's battle plan, Robin and his squad were to go behind enemy lines as a task force. Moreover, because the target location is beyond the combat radius of the Republic Army, there is no way to get combat supplies and all-round support from the War Department during the operation.

Once the operation begins, the Flying Force will send a small transport plane to paratroop Robin and his squad to Area 94 on the edge of the battle. On Colonel Achill's operational map, Area 94 is a hilly area with complex terrain with small Federation troops stationed in the mountains in the form of outposts. All Robin has to do is use his special operations capabilities to lead the team through this area and trek through the 700-kilometer defense line of the Federation Army in a straight line, and then find a way to infiltrate the Union Army's air defense base and destroy the Union Army's hangar and radar system.

Throughout the battle plan, Colonel Achill's so-called support was to provide some combat supplies, arrange for an aircraft to see him off at the beginning of the plan, and arrange for his paratrooper group to cover them if necessary when breaking through Area 94. In addition, all other tactical arrangements need to be improvised by Robin, who is the captain and main combat force.

Judging from the battle plan alone, such a crude plan of action cannot be regarded as a plan at all. But the sabotage of special operations has a large random surname, so Robin didn't care too much about the strength of support. What really cared for him was that he was not the only one involved in this operation, but the infantry squad under his command, which meant that not only him, but even Colin and Lee, who had nothing to do with this matter, had to participate in this operation.

Considering the dangers of this mission, Robin was furious with Colonel Archiel about it. The explanation available is that before talking to Robin, Colin and Lee voluntarily offered to accept joint and several liability and apply for the opportunity to atone for their crimes. Therefore, they took the initiative and volunteered to participate in this operation. This made Robin immediately furious, and he hurriedly left the army headquarters, and he wanted to question Colin and Lee why they made such a stupid decision.

'Bang! ～’

In the dormitory area of Warehouse Nine, Robin, who hurried back, ignored the surprised eyes of many of his colleagues on the TR-735, went directly to the dormitory where Colin and Lee were, kicked and smashed the automatic door of the dormitory, and broke into it.

"Huh?"

In addition to Colin and Lee, there was also the two-man cannon crew deputy of the TR-735 ship, Aiwen. Before Robin kicked the door with a terrifying sound, the three of them were around the tactical computer to analyze the terrain of the enemy theater and discuss the many materials needed for the mission. And after Robin angrily kicked the door and broke into it, their discussion was undoubtedly interrupted, and they all looked up in amazement, looking at Robin who suddenly returned.

"Robin! ～”

Lee, who was the first to react, saw that Robin was back, and immediately stood up in surprise and wanted to give Robin a warm hug, but before he could open his hands, Robin grabbed him by the collar like an angry bull and slammed him down against the wall.

"Why volunteer for this operation? This has nothing to do with you at all, do you know what you did? You're going to kill everyone! ～”

Robin's roar could even be heard throughout Warehouse 9, and the curious crew stopped what they were doing and gathered in front of the dormitory to see what was going on.

"Robin, calm down. This matter was not Lee's personal decision, but we decided together after discussion. Colin saw that Robin's emotions were a little out of control, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Robin away.

But with the current strength that Robin has, how can Colin pull it. Moreover, Robin, who was still angry, swept Colin away, grabbed Lee's collar, glared him in the eyes and said, "This mission is going deep behind enemy lines, do you know what that means?" This means that we may face untold enemies, Lee, and I want you to go and ask Colonel Archer to withdraw from the operation right away, as well as Colin and Aven, and so do you! ～”

"Bastard! ～”

Lee, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly smashed a fist on Robin's cheek, and then the collar that was being crumpled by Robin, roared angrily: "Enough of playing prestige, who do you think we are?" Your sidekick? ”

"Li ......"

"I know, you're stronger now. You look down on us, do you? Do you think we're going to hold you back? Do you think that those of us who slept in the same tent with you are no longer warriors, but cowards who can only hide in the safety of the rear and wait for your triumphant return? ”

"No, you're mistaken, I definitely didn't mean that." Sensing the dissatisfaction in Lee's tone, Robin hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself.

"And what do you mean?" Li looked at Robin coldly, and pointed at Colin and Aven, who were silent: "Do you think the three of us are no longer qualified to fight side by side with you?" What other reason do you have to refuse our participation in this operation, apart from this one? ”

"I ......"

Lee's resoluteness left Robin speechless for a while, in fact, he didn't understand why Lee and Colin were involved in this operation. But because of his own relationship, let his comrades take unnecessary risks, this is something Robin can't accept, the huge self-blame makes Robin's heart feel as uncomfortable as if blocked by a stone, so he wanted Li and Colin to quit as soon as he came back, but he didn't expect their attitude to be far more resolute than he thought.

“……”

Looking at Colin and Lee, who had never wavered, Robin could only sigh. He sat down weakly in his chair and looked up at Aven, who was hiding behind the two of them, looking a little mune.

"Aven, you are a gunner on the ship, and in terms of organization, you do not belong to our Marine Corps. Why are you here to be part of this operation? ”

Evan is the deputy gun officer of the TR-735, and although he is also a combatant, he is not part of Robin's squad in terms of organization. And because of Aiwen's surname Gemuna and his lack of conversation, he has always had no sense of presence on the ship, and Robin has almost no negotiations with Aiwen in his impression, so in his opinion, it is just that Lee and Colin strongly asked to participate in this operation, but there is no need for Aiwen to participate at all.

"I ......"

Evan looked nervously at Colin and Lee, and then at Andy, who was secretly standing in the crowd with a ashamed face outside the door, finally mustered up the courage and stammered: "Without you and the Marines, I would have died a long time ago...... And...... And I'm also a fighter...... I was trained as an infantry and got good grades...... And...... The Marine Corps lacked fireman...... I...... My firepower is very good...... I'm not going to hold you back......"

“……”

Listening to Aven's staccato words, Robin couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Robin doesn't really know much about Aven. I only know that he and Andy, the main gunner, are classmates and graduated from the same training camp. Compared with Andy, who is tall and thin and sleek, the short but sturdy Evan is very inconspicuous, and because his surname is Germuna, he is not very good at getting along with people, basically Andy has the final say on everything about the cannon crew. But in fact, in terms of firepower control results alone, Evan as a deputy far surpasses Andy, the main gunner.

"Ai Wen asked to join by himself, Robin, Ai Wen has been in the army for more than two years, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to put forward his own wishes, you can't bear to refuse his first will in his life." Li patted Evan on the shoulder with encouragement, and then glanced at Andy, who was extremely ashamed in the crowd outside the door, with a contemptuous gaze, and said loudly: "Evan is a brave soldier, I have tested his infantry qualities, and his results are very good, not even worse than Little Bart of the previous squad." Robin, you can't refuse a soldier to show his bravery, and Evan is qualified to be part of our squad. Originally, Andrew wanted to join, but he was not well injured that time, and his current leg is still lame, so I refused. ”

"Lee is right, although Evan did not graduate from the infantry training camp, he has the potential to become an excellent infantry fireman. And our team is currently lacking a fireman who is responsible for fire cover, and I think Evan is up to the task. Colin pushed his glasses and stood beside Aven.

“……”

Robin knew that Colin and Lee couldn't lie to themselves about this kind of thing, so what they said about Evan should be true. Moreover, he also noticed Andy, who was hiding in the crowd outside the door, and Andrew, who was standing by the door frame, blushing several times and trying to rush in.

Andrew was a recruit who was assigned to the TR-735 from Charon with Robin, and after that space battle with the Federation Army, Andrew was the only soldier in the Marine Corps to survive except for Robin and the other three.

Robin knew that this young but bearded Greek was a brave warrior, just as his name means brave in Greek, and that he would never miss such a mission if he could. But his unhealed body obviously dragged down his test scores, and Lee and Colin did not hesitate to exclude him, after all, as comrades who had fought side by side, they also did not want to see someone die in vain.

Glancing at Andrew, who was flushed with gratitude, Robin held back the emotions rushing in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay...... You convinced me. We have fought together, we will fight together, and we will fight in the future...... So, I will never allow any of us to die in battle! ”

"Don't worry, your worries are purely unnecessary." Hearing that Robin finally compromised, Li suddenly patted him on the shoulder excitedly and said, "Every time you fight, you fall first, and every time you are half dead." In contrast, our vitality is much stronger than yours, so we won't die if you die! ”

“……”

Listening to Lee's witty teasing, and then looking at the smiles on the faces of others, Robin's heart was full of mixed feelings.
