“…… At present, the entire alliance has entered a state of war, and has put on a counteroffensive posture on all fronts, especially in Europe, and the radical groups have once again accused the Confederate Congress of not reacting quickly after the Paris attacks to cause the tragedy in Washington and Pittsburgh...... In addition, there is speculation among analysts that the final negotiations between the League and the Privy Cavalry will be concluded in a matter of days......"

- "Alliance Weekend"

Jeunse. Mino didn't go back to the ward, but came to Linya with crutches. Paterson's hospital room.

Jeunsy didn't say hello, but saw that the door of the ward was unlocked and walked in directly, and sure enough, when the blonde girl entered, Linya just sat on the bed in a daze, looking more or less desolate.

Jesse sighed softly before speaking.

"Linya, you're alright."

"Hmm...... I'm fine. ”

Linya was stunned for a moment, looked at Jesse who walked in from the door, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Your crippled look is really funny." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Jesse looked at the expression of the flaxen-colored short-haired girl and responded with a helpless smile, but she didn't know if this helplessness was because of Linya's joke or because of Linya's state.

Jeunsy walked to the side with a cane and sat on the chair next to the bed, in fact, no one could be blamed for the empty room, and the only able-bodied person, Reyanna, naturally had to accompany the youngest Helis.

"I've just seen Logan, and my vital signs haven't changed much."

Jesse was silent for a moment, she tried to say something else, but the blonde girl, who knew her friend well, finally chose to get straight to the point, albeit a little cruel.

"There's no way around it...... Linya was also silent for a while before giving an answer. At least...... We saved a lot of people, after all, if Icarus fell...... There is no place on earth where you can stay out of it. ”

"If ......," Jesse closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't stop you if you want to leave." ”

"If I leave, it's because you don't need me anymore." Linya turned her head to look at Jeunse. Then he narrowed his eyes and gave the girl a smile, "But we made an appointment, right?" ”

"Yes."

Jeunsy nodded heavily, followed by a long silence.

"Jeunse, can you give me that answer?"

After a long time, Linya whispered. "The request I made to you before going to Istanbul...... The thing you said to think about. ”

“…… I remember. ”

Jesse's voice trembled slightly, but she nodded again, "I remember." ”

"In any case, Ling Yu can't be allowed to stand up and call on the cavalry to participate in the war as the son of God, I understand that religious fanaticism will ruin a qiē."

Jesse closed her eyes. Reach out and take Linya's hand on the bed. Stick it in your face, "I promise." ”

Linya grins, as if trying to give Jesse a friendly smile, but is eventually overwhelmed by sadness.

"I survived the energy crisis so easily...... Now it's a world war again, and the cavalry can be left alone, so why should they take advantage of others...... What the hell is wrong with this world...... Mankind...... What the hell is going on......"

Linya gently removed her hand from Jeune's face. Then on her knees, clutching the quilt tightly, the girl with short flaxen hair lowered her head, her voice trembling with pain.

"I don't understand, why. Why won't the world let us go? ”

"Why...... There is no place where we can simply live...... Why...... Why ......"

"Linya ......" Jesse gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and then let go.

"I know...... I know...... I know what you're going to say! Linya stretched out her hand and covered her eyes, wondering if it was to hide her tears, "What war, what justice, what survival and truth...... I've heard enough...... Already...... Enough is enough......"

"Linya." Jess was silent for a moment, but finally chose to speak, "I'll submit your transfer report to the Knight Captain later, and I'll arrange for you to serve as a liaison in the Washington area, so that you won't be too far away from Logan." ”

Jesse stretched out her hand, took Linya's hand, lowered her head, looked at Linya curled up on her knees like a little girl, and sighed, "Besides, I've asked Knight Captain Sauron to pick up your family, they will move to Iceland, and it will be fine." ”

"You need to get a good rest, and leaving combat duty is a good option."

Jesse took a breath and raised her hand to gently stroke Linya's back, "Anything else...... Don't think about it. ”

Linya didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Jeunse didn't say anything more, just sat quietly by Linya's bedside, holding her hand.

No one knows what the blonde girl is thinking.

***

In Philadelphia, in the drizzle, a black C23 had just landed at the airfield attached to the Army's Third Comprehensive Physiology Research Center.

The C23 transport plane painted by Kronos did not attract much attention, and after more than a day of intense transport, most of the critically wounded who needed to be evacuated quickly had already arrived, and the others were either not seriously injured or transferred to other regional hospitals.

The busy airport has just gained respite, and naturally no one cares about this C23 transport plane, which is a little smaller than the C292 and does not look like a medical plane.

Although it was one size smaller than the C292, the still huge tail hatch slowly opened, and a black armed jeep drove down, followed by a compact armored personnel carrier used by paratroopers, and finally a truck, and another armed jeep in the tail.

It's just that the captain of this team is not in the team.

Sauron. Instead of wearing the signature knight's uniform, Rasmussen wore a black suit with black-rimmed glasses. His golden hair was dyed brown, and the knight's sword was carried in a suitcase with the logo of the Kronos Company painted on it.

Because it was not a surprise operation, the personnel cabin got off the plane first, and by the time the convoy drove out, Sauron and the others were already waiting beside them.

"The handover should be quick. Be careful not to reveal your identity. ”

The young man in the black suit let the guard who had given him an umbrella stand in place, stepped out of the umbrella, raised his hand to signal the leading jeep to stop, and then lowered the window, and the leader wearing the Kronos company individual exoskeleton who was sitting in the assistant's seat spoke, and then took two steps back and waved to the convoy to move on.

This convoy is the secret technical squad of the cavalry team that set off from Reykjavík. by Sauron. Rasmussen personally led the team to escort the medical cabin of a prehistoric civilization.

At this time, disguised as Kronos will save a lot of trouble.

The medical pod on the ark could not be smuggled out lightly, and the scribes had a lot of oversight authority, and even Speaker Isaac couldn't pull it out and run around with a random order.

It's just that Yang Chengze showed a hole card at this time that even Ling Yu didn't know.

Ten years ago, the Kronos company did not know where to find an original medical capsule of a prehistoric civilization. It can be established that this medical cabin was leaked during the winter Arctic war, of course. The reason for the outflow is also very simple, the key originals of this thing have been destroyed.

Naturally, the Alliance and Kronos had no way to repair the original prehistoric civilization alone, so after studying some things that could be studied, they were thrown aside.

Unexpectedly, this iron can, which had eaten dust in the warehouse of the Alaska Research Headquarters in Kronos, came in handy at this time, when the scribe officials loyal to the Knights of the Guard, with Sauron's manipulation and Isaac's acquiescence, caused a "reasonable use of over-guided components". Thus replacing a medical pod with this tin can.

Of course, a broken iron canister that has been piled up in the warehouse for many years naturally cannot be compared with an ordinary damaged medical pod, so in addition to being refurbished and repaired overnight under the guidance of the cavalry advisers. You also have to hurry up and send it back after transforming Ling Yu to avoid goofs.

After all, if the cavalry is not really a Rasmussen.

The knight's politics is really the most ironic thing in the world.

Sauron watched as the black convoy ran through the rain and was guided into the intended area. He looked down at the black suit on his body, and he was embarrassed.

I won't do it, I won't do anything after this incident, my father likes to find whoever he wants, Lao Tzu is not the material to be a politician in his bones, it's a big deal to say hello to Ling Yu, and change his identity to Kronos to get revenge, it's much better than mixing in a group of disgusting politicians.

Sauron lowered his head and kicked a stone from his feet into the grass by the side of the road, making a splash.

Then, a sound came from his vacuum headphones.

"Your Excellency, direct communication from Norway."

"Take it."

Sauron sighed, shook his hand and motioned for the person behind him to get into the car first, then stepped aside and pressed the headset.

"What did you say?"

"Why didn't you know earlier?"

"Is there no other way?"

"Okay...... I know, no, no, you cooperate with the local agency to deal with the aftermath, and I will inform Linya about this. ”

Sauron silently cut off communication, frowned, sighed softly, and then turned to pull the car door.

"Go to the ward first, put me down, and then you go to the quarantine area."

Sauron watched as the driver nodded and started the car, not saying anything more.

At Jeunse's behest, bad news came from the knight who had gone to Yorkmore in Norway to pick up Linya's mother.

Linya's mother, who had just been diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, had spread.

***

"That's it...... Considering the age of the aunt, there is no way to undergo the modification surgery of a mechanical organ transplant......"

Sauron stood in front of Linya's bed, with Jeunse sitting beside him, the sky outside the window had darkened, but the drizzle had no intention of stopping.

"So...... Linya ...... There is a small transport plane on the side of the Kronos company, which I have arranged so that you can go home tomorrow if you need it. ”

Sauron looked at the girl who was sitting on the bed, her eyes red and silent, and her voice gradually became quieter, as if every word he said would hurt the girl more.

"Thank you...... Sauron ...... I'll get ready and I'll leave tomorrow. ”

After an unknown amount of time, just when Sauron felt that the air was about to freeze, Linya finally spoke, her voice hoarse and dry, completely devoid of her former politeness and vitality.

"I'm sorry."

Sauron sighed, then shook his head, and Jess reached out directly, endured the pain in her lower back, and leaned over to hug the girl.

"It doesn't matter...... At least I can get back......" Linya laughed with a lot of effort, and she looked up, "At least, thank you for doing this for me." ”

"You don't have to be out of the woods."

Sauron responded with a smile, he knew about Logan, just because Linya had been in the war zone, and the flaxen-haired girl didn't know that Linya's psychology was already being reassessed within the cavalry.

What she also didn't know was that the General Staff Headquarters had already prepared plans for a large-scale conscription, and Norway was the first to bear the brunt.

Sauron didn't have the courage to tell Sùlinia about this, so he could only silently deal with the report submitted by Jesse.

It is dangerous to send such a young girl to the battlefield, both for her and for her teammates.

"Then I'll arrange it."

Sauron took a breath, then nodded, exchanged glances with Jesse, and walked out of the room.

It's just that many years later, the shadow of this day has been haunting him like a devil, making him wonder if his decision was the right one.

In the end, all he remembered was that it was raining in Philadelphia that day. (To be continued......)
