However, we won't be able to conceal our movements anymore given the size of our forces.

The possibility of getting ambushed when we're navigating through narrow streets is very high...

What's the plan?

We don't have many options...

Dr. {@nickname}, what's your assessment?

All we have to do is destroy them in a head-on attack!;...They can't stop us, probably...;It takes time for the enemy to regroup.

Reunion's forces are no match for us individually.

But most of the time, they try to overwhelm us with sheer numbers.

If we can utilize our speed to constantly press forward while avoiding large-scale fights...

They don't seem to have built any fortifications.

If we're able to charge through their blockade...

Even though it looks like they have a numbers advantage, their loose formation won't be able to stop our advance.

From what I've observed through our past battles, Reunion's communication methods are absolutely primitive.

If we do this quickly, by the time they're able to regroup and mount an effort to stop us...

We'll already be long gone by the time they get into formation.

Sounds good.

We'll storm them, disrupt their formation, destroy their firebase, and then fall back quickly.

Dobermann, are you testing me, or...

It's far easier to deal with threats we can see than to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I take it that these are Dr. {@nickname}'s orders, Amiya?

The situation is clear. I trust Doctor's decisions...

...Trust isn't built so easily from just a single battle.

I do think highly of Dr. {@nickname}, Amiya...

But don't let your guard down. Of course, there is nothing wrong with learning from the Doctor's wisdom, but remember, you can't fully rely on anyone else in this world.

...I know.

Don't get me wrong, Doctor, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you.

But I hope you understand... Amiya still needs to learn and grow.

If you were in my position, you also wouldn't allow her to rely on someone else.

However, know that I've already acknowledged your abilities as a commander.

Thank you...

Also, there's no reason to be so formal. We're comrades-in-arms now.

At least on the battlefield, I've already entrusted my life to you.

Enough with the chit-chatting though, let's hurry it up.

That's right.

There's an old saying in Kazimierz: 'Death catches up to you when you stop to take a break.'

第八关（后）

Chaaaarge—!!

Huh?

—Who's there?!

Tsk, where are you looking? Take this!

Gah!!

Phew...

Reunion's forces are regrouping behind us... they're getting ready to attack!

They can't keep pace with us! Keep charging!

We're almost out of Reunion-controlled territory! Don't stop moving!!

These trifling thugs...

...Can't hope to stop us!

第九关（前）

Phew... We finally lost them.

If we keep up the pace, we'll be out of the central region shortly and arrive at the southern exit.

It's starting to get noisier and more chaotic...

It might be because the Chernobog civilians trying to evacuate the city are running into Reunion.

It seems like a few districts have already been vacated.

But those who didn't make it in time are now being held up by Reunion.

This place used to be a magificent, sprawling plaza.Now... it's been reduced to ruins.

This city tormented the Infected. To meet their end this way is almost poetic.

Almost...

You seem quite sentimental.

Perhaps, at one point...

The sky's getting even darker.

Even the air has the smell... of something burning.

What are you doing?!

...Aaaargh!! !

Civilians?

I can't hear anything anymore.

We can't tell who they are from this distance.

Reunion is attacking them...!

We can't leverage the terrain to our advantage here. We don't have the capacity to save everybody.

Life is very precious, Amiya. Each and every one.

Regardless, we're already too late.

After all, we're in for some trouble ourselves.

We can't catch a break today.

...Kill them all.

A large number of Reunion forces are coming through the exits!

Get ready to fight our way out!

第九关（后）

Indeed. They don't know that Faust is following them. I received some information from one of his scouts.

Rhodes Island is trapped around the perimeter of the city center.

Insects as they might be, they still might take advantage of the confusion caused by the Catastrophe to make their escape.

Given their understanding of the situation in Chernobog, they could potentially interfere with our plans.

... At least, getting rid of them won't do us any harm.

Chernobog bastards! It's because of you, it's all your fault... that us Infected became like this!

Get lost!

Ugh!

These people, it's like they're just waiting to die! !

Why is Reunion going completely berserk?

Why are they sending so many members out here now?!

This makes no sense! There's no reason for them to be defending this place so staunchly!

Rhodes Island Operators, stand your ground! Push Reunion back and open up an escape route!

So that's the 'Rhodes Island' that I've been hearing so much about? Heh... How heroic.

...Huh?

... Falling rocks? At a time like this?

Don't stop moving! Maintain our defensive line!

Something's not right... These rocks are coming from the buildings...

What are you talking about...

It's here! It's here!

Ahaha... salvation has come for us! Judgment day has come!

Ahhh, arghhhh--*CRASH!*

Ahhh, arghhhh--*CRASH!*

They were... crushed by something?
