After the dispute over the mission ended, all the personnel involved in the mission began to go about their duties.

Due to the danger of this mission, and the fact that Robin's current physical basic abilities have all reached the third order, everyone decided to participate in this mission with a heavy infantry armor after discussion. And the part about the heavy infantry armor fell all on Robin's head.

In fact, with the current conditions offered by Colonel Archier, Robin can directly apply to Colonel Archie for a new Republic-standard armor: Defender 2 Heavy Infantry Armor, but Robin still stubbornly believes that the first heavy infantry armor in his military career should be the most suitable armor modified by himself. Therefore, he had to speed up the process of repairing the two damaged Federal Patriot 2 heavy infantry armor that had been assigned to him before the battle date was determined, and as for the scarce parts needed for the modification, he was ready to use Colonel Achill's promise to provide war supplies to blackmail the stingy colonel.

Aside from Robin, who devoted himself to the modification of heavy infantry armor, Colin, who had always been in charge of the team's information and communications, plunged headlong into the Pluto War Department's data system, copying all the terrain information required for the operation, the distribution of enemy forces, and the armament of weapons, and storing it in his personal information system for careful reference, which can be used to formulate relevant infiltration routes and retreat routes.

In addition to negotiating with the difficult Colonel Archer on issues such as material supply and airborne troop support, as one of the main combat forces, he was also responsible for teaching the recruit and accompanying him to do a series of tactical simulation exercises.

In a Marine Corps equipped with heavy infantry armor and capable of reading combat, the task of the fireman is actually very heavy. On the battlefield, the fireman, who is mainly responsible for fire cover, can be described as a humanoid battery, equipped with weapons such as a shoulder mounted individual bazooka, a detachable six-wheel Gatling rapid-fire cannon suspended on the right arm, a semi-stationary miniature grenade launcher on the left arm, and in addition to rockets, energy clips, and equipment within its own light infantry armor, the fully equipped fireman looks like a shrunken heavy loader from the outside. And it is precisely because the fireman must carry so much equipment that all the firefighters in the squad are tall and big men with a body of two meters.

Compared with the muscle towers in his usual impression, Aivan, who is only one meter tall and in his early seventies, is simply a dwarf. Surprisingly, though, he was short but stocky. The base strength has even reached the second order, and the movement speed and reaction are far beyond those ordinary muscle towers. After all the armament was completed, although it looked a little funny because of his short stature, Lee, who had conducted many tactical simulation exercises with Aven, was shocked to find that this kid who looked like a muna was actually a saboteur who was more ruthless than anyone else. And because of his own role as a gunner, his firepower control is far more sophisticated than that of ordinary firefighters, and that kind of continuous firepower even allows him to fight ordinary three firefighters alone.

For Robin and his Marine Corps, it was undoubtedly a huge surprise to dig up such a treasure as Aven, with such strong firepower cover, coupled with ace snipers Lee and Colin, electronic warfare experts, Robin's four-person squad has far surpassed those full special operations squads.

At the same time, Cecilia, who was jointly and severally liable as her immediate superior, was finally released from her ban. After the incident in the hospital that day, Cecilia and two other captains repeatedly asked to see Vice Admiral Aldrich, the commander of the Pluto Army, because of his concern for Robin. However, her plea was not forgiven by the lieutenant general, and Lieutenant General Aldrich gave Cecilia a seven-day ban on the grounds that his rule was not strict.

"Robin, are you there?" In front of Robin's room, Cecilia had just returned to the ship's crew station, and she couldn't wait to visit Robin.

"Here we are."

Soon, Robin's voice and the noise of some metal objects being bumped into the room can be heard.

With a 'whoosh', the automatic door unlocked itself and opened, revealing Robin's tired face with deep-set eyes and a beard behind the door.

And seeing Robin actually like this, Cecilia immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Robin! How do you ......"

"Huh?"

Cecilia's expression made Robin subconsciously touch the mustache scumbag on his chin, scratch his head and smile: "I've been busy these days, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"Are you okay like this?" Cecilia was already worried about Robin's body because of Leona's incident, but now when she saw that Robin, who had always been energetic, was actually such a haggard look, tears immediately fell uncontrollably.

"I'm fine."

Seeing that Cecilia was actually crying, Robin hurriedly wiped away Cecilia's tears. Although he hadn't slept for several days, since he had nuclear energy in his body, his energy was surprisingly abundant, and his sleep state was much better than before, and it seemed that he could enter a deep sleep that only high-level brain developers could enter anytime and anywhere. Now, he only needs an hour or two to replenish his energy to its best, so he doesn't worry about getting sick at all.

But Cecilia didn't know about such a thing, so she still stubbornly took Robin's hand and dragged him to the side of the bed, wanting him to rest immediately.

But when Cecilia walked into the room, she found that Robin's room was messy and there was no place to rest, not only was the work table in the room full of parts and repair equipment, but even his bed and floor were densely packed with all kinds of metal parts and disassembled replacement circuit boards. The whole room looked like a scruffy man's machine repair room at the moment, standing in this room, let alone lying down, there was not even a place to sit.

Robin...... You're ......."

"This ......"

Robin dodged Cecilia's gaze, and since Cecilia had been grounded and everyone had kept it a secret from her, she didn't know that Robin was about to go on a mission.

However, Robin knew that the order to set out was about to be given, and he couldn't always hide it from Cecilia, so he lightly described a mission plan to atone for his sins. However, in the description, in order not to worry Cecilia, he deliberately ignored the danger of the mission, and only said that it was a simple mission.

"Robin, how can your body go on a mission? You've just ...... Moreover, you are about to go on a mission, why are you still working so hard, you have to rest immediately! ”

Hearing that Robin was about to go out on a mission, Cecilia was so anxious that she was about to cry again.

"Don't worry, I'm healthy, healthy like never before! ~" Robin rubbed Cecilia's head with his dirty hands full of engine oil and smiled, "I'll finish it in a few moments, give me a few more hours, and I'll have a good rest when I'm done." ”

"No! ～”

Seeing that Cecilia was really worried about her body, Robin could only obediently move a stool and sit down: "Okay, then help me rub my head, I really feel a little tired when you say that." ”

"Hmm."

Hearing Robin's willingness to rest, Cecilia couldn't help but smile sweetly, stood behind him as usual, and gently pressed his temples with a pair of soft little hands.

"Robin."

"Hmm."

"Are you really okay?" Cecilia massaged Robin's head, recalling the horrific images she had seen in the video at the flight training center that day, and asked worriedly, "That day...... You ...... that day."

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I've already fully recovered."

Robin knew what Cecilia was worried about, rubbed her cold little hands vigorously, turned his head and smiled, "When did Robin you know be so vulnerable?" I'm a tough guy! ”

"But...... I'm worried about you...... I can't accept that you've been treated so horribly, so can you ......" Cecilia wanted to keep Robin away from Leona and the battle, but remembering what Leona had said to her that day, the words came to her mouth and she couldn't speak.

"I won't have anything to do with Leona again, and I'll let her leave the TR-735 when this mission is complete. But, Cecilia, I'm an infantryman. My life will be full of blood, and every day of my life will be spent killing and being killed. Fighting is my duty, I can't escape it, and from the day I chose to become an infantryman, I was destined to live with it. ”

This was the first time Robin had told Cecilia about the cruelty of the infantry, and although he knew that it might make Cecilia more worried, he knew that one day, Cecilia would realize that she was no longer the innocent teenager she had thought she had left.

“……”

And hearing Robin personally break this cruel reality, Cecilia could only bite her lip hard and hugged Robin tightly: "Robin, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will die in battle." I want to help you, but ...... But I couldn't do anything, and I felt useless...... I even feel like I've become a burden to you......"

Robin...... If it goes on like this, I'm scared...... Fear that one day I will not be qualified to stand by your side......"

"What a stupid thing to say."

Cecilia's true feelings at this moment moved Robin not knowing what to say, he got up and hugged Cecilia tightly, and comforted her ear: "You are very good, you are the heroic female lieutenant who saved the TR-735 twice." It's like that space battle with the Federation Army, I couldn't have done anything without you. Your stage is in space, that's where you show yourself, and you're the best captain I've ever met, always! ”

"......"

Cecilia wanted to open her mouth to say something, but Robin kissed her on the slippery lips: "Don't always think about these unhappy things, we can think about some happy things." For example, after I come back from my mission this time, we will leave Pluto, and then we will go back to the fleet to apply for a vacation, and then go to Earth for a good vacation, how about it? ”

But when Robin said this, Cecilia became even more worried. Because Robin didn't tell him the details of the mission just now, and seeing how busy he was now, the intelligent Cecilia immediately realized that this mission was not as easy as Robin said, which immediately made her feel uneasy.

"Robin, what exactly is the mission this time? Why didn't you tell me the mission details? ”

"Mission details?" Robin was stunned, scratched his head and smiled: "This is confidential, it is inconvenient to tell you." But I promise that this mission will never be dangerous, this is just a chance for Lieutenant General Aldrich to give us atonement, after all, we are heroes, why is he embarrassed to punish us too harshly? So, rest assured, I'll be back soon, and I'm sure the new TR-735 will be repaired by then, and we'll be able to get out of this hellish place. ”

"Really?" Cecilia looked directly into Robin's eyes in disbelief.

“……”

Robin avoided Cecilia's gaze and lowered his head to kiss her forehead: "It's really ......"
