A firm foothold
Sistine stomped out his cigarette and followed in silence. By this time he had calmed down, but his face still looked indecisive."Are you going to do about Sister Bailey?"Sistine nodded."Good, the wound is healing fast." Whitney's tone sounded satisfied.Sistine gave his a look and nodded imperceptibly."You turn around." Whitney Willow said to Lucio.Stein Field Base is the Federation's westernmost military base by far, and the closest survey base to the Himalayas. At 4,200 meters above sea level, it is a highland area with thin oxygen and a cold climate. The base has a small population of no more than 30 people year-round, half of whom are prominent geologists and climatologists in the military, whose survey and research data can be considered a very valuable asset to the entire Federation.Besides, he didn't like Missy, and perhaps, neither did the original Lucio. He would never be swept away knowing that he was deeply afraid of the woman inside his and was constantly on guard.

Release the soldiers
Sistine, frantic to the point of storming out, drew the gun on his belt and put it against Kalar's forehead, gritting his teeth and saying."You can't deal with it!" Lucio warned Whitney.Whitney pulled up his radar and saw several armored vehicles still struggling, green dots dense within them, apparently those reserve mechs still trapped inside, uncommanded, and they probably didn't even know what to do."Yes, it was Major General K'Audrina Ruiz's orders. He told me to close the gates and wait for help."Whitney's eyes suddenly went to the medical cart, and his mind was made up. But the immediate task was not to think about that, but to ponder what to do to save his life.There was a thumping and tapping sound from the roof, and Lucio and Whitney grabbed the helmets at their feet almost in sync, quickly putting them on and activating the oxygen supply. The front driver's seat had been destroyed, and the airtight oxygen system inside the car was damaged, so their back seats wouldn't

A bloody battlefield
"Fire!" Whitney ordered on the spur of the moment.Leigh, how are you doing? I'm really worried about you...With that thought, he immediately stepped forward with the intention of searching for the other armored vehicles. But just then, his eyes inadvertently skimmed to see a thick purple liquid dripping just between the medivac and the steel drawbridge parapet.Whitney's writing fingers curled for a moment, hesitating, and ultimately not telling Lucio about the mysteriously dead fifth monster. This event is not as simple as just two opposing sides; in addition to Whitney's side, who wants to protect Bailey, and the enemy's side, who wants to silence Bailey, there is an unknown third party that exists, and that person, perhaps between them, Whitney cannot confirm who it is or what the other side is up to, so he has to hide it from even Lucio until he knows everything."It looks like we're going to have to struggle to recover the body, the sonar device should be on his. At least there

Electromagnetic railguns
Luckily, Whitney had grown up and scavenged all the weapons on site before the insect wave hit, saving time picking them up now. While Lucio was equipped with a dead soldier's powered exoskeleton, after parking the car, he jumped behind the body of the overturned armored vehicle, laying down over 30 small and large guns that he could use, 6 standard short-handled sabers, 1 long saber, and 3 crossbows within ready reach of his hands. With two guns in each hand, he stood across the front of the line, looking away from the rapidly approaching wave of insects in the distance, his face as heavy and immobile as a mountain."Scout, did you really not see who killed the fifth monster?" Calar angrily reconfirmed."I'm not sure about that, he doesn't have a rope on his!" Whitney said."All soldiers, this is a supreme authority order, stop the shelling immediately without fail!""......" Calar was silent, opening his mouth to say something, but his upper and lower jaws chattered and he ultimatel

Ares Region
"Heh, I'm still really good. I'm not immune to bug poison though, you forget, I was poisoned with Gug poison and was unconscious for five days as usual." Lucio laughed.As it happened, he was visited by Dr. Aelita, so he finally found a savior. With Alita's approval and company, Lucio, in his hospital gown and holding the mobile IV stand, finally made his way out of the overcrowded ward and headed out of the hospital, intending to get some air.Aelita followed his gaze, understanding what he was thinking, and said with a sigh."So, the third squadron can't go back now either, can they?"As they walked on in silence, Lucio saw countless ragged, filthy people gathered outside the hospital gates, perched in the plaza at the entrance, sitting or lying in simple tents underneath worn and dirty cardboard boxes or mattresses, haggard and withered. Lucio's pupils contracted and he stood still, his face sinking.Lucio ate defeat, looked at the ceiling darkly, rod simply do not speak. In fact,

Aid a defector
Caral and Gene Roach, two majors, one civilian and one military, were K'Audrina Ruiz's right-hand men, yet now K'Audrina Ruiz is being framed for a mutiny by his own cronies, with a chill and anger that only those involved can understand.When they got out of the car, the warden himself came to meet them and led them into the eerie Glendon Castle. The building was very old-fashioned, with a strong Gothic style, poor lighting, dark and damp, long corridors, low ceilings, and closed railings on both sides, and one would feel depressed in such an environment for a long time."Where are you going?" Sistine asked."And is it a crime for a soldier to give first aid to a mutineer on the battlefield?"His first stop was the Fort Glendon Military Prison, generally referred to as simply Fort Glendon, located in the northwest corner of the Ares Region. This is where military criminals are held, and they are all felons. The prisoners here are military personnel who have been arrested by Military

Negotiations
"Ali, sorry for waking you." Whitney's bracelet id holographic screen showed an image of Lucio lying on his side, just waking up with a frown of confused cuteness, looking so deliciously seductive that Whitney's voice was inexplicably gentle as he spoke.K'Audrina Ruiz parted his lips in displeasure and said."Major Frisman? What can I do for you at this late hour?" The figure of Aelita in a white lab coat surfaced on the video call."Abraham and I were talking about the disposal of the insect corpses that have piled up in and around the city." A sidekick, K'Audrina Ruiz, clarified.The call hung up and Lucio got up, braced himself out of his hospital gown and began to change into his military uniform. As he dressed, he began to sketch the entire terrain outside the hospital gates in his head.Using the cover of the bushes, Lucio scampered under the fence on the left, and then, like a cat, scraped against the wall and flipped up, almost reaching the top of the wall, with a force of hi

Move the hideout
And then there are these mutineers who are so mistreated simply because there are parts of their minds that are not conducive to the rule of the ruler. They cannot even be called human beings, and are no different from domestic animals that are called upon to live and kill when they are useless at mercy? Even for people like Samuel, killing these people was a gift to them, because their deaths contributed to the society and so they were allowed to die, which, when he thinks about it, is even worse than domestic animals."Each man holds a micro-charge and has a gun and saber on him."Lucio, Whitney and K'Audrina Ruiz got into the armored car and watched as the heavily armed soldiers stormed into the hospital and searched. The minutes ticked by and Lucio was in a cold sweat, almost as if seconds were ticking by.Lucio dragged him into the grass, breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to stalk towards the gate."Benefactor! What are you doing here?"Lucio exhibited a black cloth,

Rescued
The two met secretly in Whitney's tent, and no one paid any attention to them outside as the three squadrons of soldiers were in the midst of dismantling their tents and packing up their armaments."Get up!" What awaited him was a high raised whip.With blood stains hanging from his lips, enchanting as if he were a voluptuous rose, he flicked his vermilion lips and said.Lucio nodded cautiously."What I want is not something you will go through fire for; what I want is simple, and I'm afraid you won't give it. I don't want to play too many tricks on you, but I'm afraid you don't believe it in your heart. That's all right; time will tell."Whitney and Audrina Ruiz, even when negotiating with Samuel, would never have explicitly said "we're going to save the mutineers".Lucio lowered his head, closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and squeezed his fists. He could feel that his unusual reaction had caused all of the soldiers escorting his to go berserk. If he moved at all, the battle would

The Special Attack Team
"Then you're still going, wait, I'll find someone to ask." Nola Franks pulled his back.The naming of the streets is also interesting, with the north-south streets being essentially German nomenclature and the east-west streets being England nomenclature, representing the two most heady ethnic descendants at the moment. The Chang'an Region, to which Lucio and the girls were headed, was one of the twelve regions of Gaia's main city, located in the southeast corner of the circular map, and the journey from the west train station in the southwest corner to the Chang'an Region required a journey across the radius of the circular city, taking at least three hours by car.Nola Franks pondered for a moment and said, "I suppose so, your great name of Lucio, the God of War, has now spread throughout the Federation, including some of the bigwigs in the center who have probably noticed you, and your god-like battle record in Ares is there for all to see. Grand Admiral Frisman will reward you for
