The sound of artillery fire echoed above the city of Hecaten.

The plague walking corpses continued to attack, but fortunately, the city's defenses had been established.

A circle of repaired walls protected the whole of Hecaton.

The walls were littered with heavy weapons that had come out of nowhere, and the soldiers took turns shooting at the plague walkers, and the whole of Hecaton was in a sea of fire.

Drones that also came out of nowhere patrolled every street in the city.

The white drone, under the protection of the black drone, goes to every inhabited house, or to the barracks.

The black drones with weapons on board emitted an icy radio sound, ordering everyone to follow order.

White drones, on the other hand, are used to heal the wounded or scan everyone for the plague.

Order, security.

These two things that are most important to humanity are returning to the city.

"Twelfth squad, I hope you can go to the northern city wall to participate in the defense."

"Nope! Gru doesn't listen to anyone other than the regimental commander! ”

"It was your regimental commander who gave me the power to dispatch you."

"Gru doesn't believe it, and Gru doesn't understand what power is, anyway, Gru listens to the head of the regiment."

Zabriel, who was in charge of the defenses, was in trouble, and he hoped to get a team of Oglim on the walls, but Oglim was not willing.

Two of the three Burning Falcon and the Fallen Angel battle brothers follow Zabriel, so the scene is a bit awkward in the presence of bystanders.

"I say one last time, go, or be punished." Zabriel said to the clever head.

Annoyed, the clever head got up and pounced on Zabriel.

But Zabriel dodged the lunge, turned around and grabbed the clever man's arm and threw him out with the force of the clever head's lunge.

The clever head didn't wear power armor, or Zabriel would have to consider calling the son of Antaeus.

The smart head who was thrown out and smashed a bunch of boxes got up, touched his head, turned to the subordinates in the team and said, "This dwarf is so powerful, he must have the authorization of the regiment commander to follow Gru." ”

After dealing with the Ogrins, Zabriel turned to look at the Burning Falcons, "Lando, I would like to ask you to fly to the auxiliaries and prepare them to replace the Tyrone Army that will come down from the city wall in six hours. ”

The flaming falcon named Lando leapt to his feet and hurried forward to deliver Zabriel's orders.

……

Lando delivered orders everywhere, and he habitually said "please" to those who were not among their subordinates with Zabriel, and took off his helmet as he spoke.

This habit was developed on Karis.

Although they have been accepted, they are still habitually polite out of gratitude or fear of losing their new home.

After once again using the invitation to convey Zabriel's order, Lando turned around and prepared to fly to the next place, but a voice sounded from the shadows.

"You look like you've lost your most basic dignity as an angel of emperors."

"Serve a Sector, Not an Empire......"

"Like a lost dog flattering to its master."

A nun in red armor stepped out of the shadows, leaning against the wall beside Lando, looking at him with contempt.

"It's not just you, it's the dark angels...... Does their warband know that they came out to serve a heretic? ”

This sentence infuriated Lando.

Lando wanted to endure it, just like he had endured every time he faced a provocation before, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but argue to Iolans: "You know what I've been through and come and accuse me? Get out of the way, I don't want to lose my chance and my brothers to rebuild the warband by killing a nun. ”

"I don't know what you've been through, but I know that for an Astarte, loyalty takes precedence over everything, including fighting brothers and warbands." Iolans said.

The nun's tone was flirtatious.

Lance, who was about to put on his helmet and leave, was furious, and walked up to Iolans and looked down at her.

"If I'm not loyal enough, I'm already in the eye of fear or in the maelstrom of serving a warband, and I'm still doing my duty to defend humanity, how dare you accuse me?"

Every word in this sentence is squeezed out between the teeth.

Lando trembled with anger.

Iolans didn't know why Lando was so angry, but she still stood her mind and tried to persuade a lost Astarte to take back his duties.

"You think you're loyal, but you're a lackey of a heretical leader."

"you!"

A hole was punched in the wall beside Iolans.

"My warband was once extremely loyal, and that loyalty lasted until the end of the warband."

"You know what you are here to believe and bark? If I return to the Empire, I will be put to death and lose the glory of continuing to fight for humanity! ”

Aolans looked at Lando coldly and shook his head, "Is the story of your warband the same as those traitors?" If it's the same, you don't have to talk about it, I've already guessed it. ”

"You slander my fighting brothers!" Lando grabbed Iolanth by the neck and lifted her from the ground.

"My fighting brothers did not hesitate to respond to any call for help, any request to join the war, any request from the Inquisitor."

"Then after a mission to help the Inquisitors in battle, the Inquisitors saw our mutation."

"I don't know why, the burning falcon burns a flame, and this flame doesn't hurt itself and doesn't hurt any good people, but it still becomes the reason why we are suspicious."

Listening to every syllable of anger and grievance, Aolans searched her brain for information about the Burning Falcon, but found nothing.

She didn't even know there was such a warband.

"Then the Inquisitor did one thing to us......"

Tears flowed from the corners of Lando's eyes and dripped down his shoulder armor.

"The inquisitor said he wanted to thank us and let us participate in the celebration, and then we believed it, and it passed."

"It is not glory or reward that awaits us, but another warband."

"In that one-sided slaughter of Terminator-clad Space Marines against unarmoured and unarmed Space Marines, the Think Tank protected three recruits."

"The think tank burned itself to create the portal, and the three recruits walked in."

"The moment the portal closed, the recruits saw the severed warband leader roll over a Space Marine to prevent the guy from rushing into the portal and killing all three recruits."

"And the think tank was crushed by another war group's think tank."

"I'm one of the three recruits."

Lando talked about the past of the warband, and his hands were even harder.

Aolans heard the sound of his force feedback armor shattering, and heard his own bones grinding against the squeezing.

Lando was in tears, his expression fierce.

But he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha...... A single judge can decide whether a warband lives or dies! ”

"He took out a warband with the movement of his mouth, and did what many enemies couldn't! Hahaha! ”

Lando felt from the bottom of his heart that this was ridiculous and sad, and his eyes drooped with tears, but at the same time he burst into laughter.

"Sister Iolans!"

Just as the red-armored nun was about to be strangled to death, a white-armored nun suddenly came to the two of them.

She found it by following the locator of the force feedback armor and wanted to report the matter, but suddenly ran into this terrible scene.

Lando let go of his hands, put on his helmet and walked away.

The nun raised her shotgun: "Stand there and don't move!" ”

Lando glanced back at the nun, then turned and continued walking: "You fire." A member of the Tyrone Army died at the hands of the Inquisition, and I wouldn't mind risking my life to kick off the Inquisition's downfall. ”

The nun immediately tried to pull the trigger, but Aolans, who had recovered from her recovery, stopped her.

"Let him go."

"Sister, let him go."

The nun put away her blaster and ran to Aolans to help her up.

The nun helped Iolans to report the matter: "Captain Grote has found a survivor in the south of the city, a young girl. ”

"Is there any need to report this to me?" Aolans asked.

"No...... But the girl ...... She took out a dozen plague warriors outside the southern walls of Hecatedon. ”
