Глава 3

There's a location near the front of the mines that will be great for setting up our ambush.

My casters will provide cover for you... You know what to do, don't you?

I'll use my troops to draw them here.

Don't miss this opportunity~

I understand.

...Take care of Misha for me.

Sure thing~

Hmph... Anyways, good luck.

第二十六关（前）

So, what do you think about Penguin Logistics, Amiya? We're pretty good, aren't we?

Yeah, you're great!

W-woaaah!

It feels pretty embarrassing getting complimented by a little girl!

Watch your mouth. She's our client.

Oops, sorry about that!

Don't worry about it. It's you who we should be thanking!

So, we've met up with Rhodes Island.

What's next?

I might need the L.G.D. to come to a decision before I give my input.

Is that so...

I'll ask them to come take a look over here then.

This terrain...

Reunion must have lured us here on purpose.

Nothing but sand and rocks in this wasteland. It's got all the makings of one of those movie showdowns.

The only thing that's missing is the enemy, huh?

Hoshiguma, stay here and back up Rhodes Island.

Hm? Very well.

I'll take the L.G.D. and change positions.

If this stalemate continues, we won't be able to control Reunion's escape routes.

Understood.

You take care as well.

--Wooah, that was a really strong wind.

Ugh... The visibility's getting really poor too, I can barely see ahead of me...

Don't go any farther.

Reunion might wait for us to fall into their trap before they attack again.

We can't let that happen.

How about this, Amiya.

Liskarm and I will fight for control over the high ground around here and scout out the enemy.

Until we notify you, stay in this position.

Just don't rush out to us even if looks like the fighting is getting intense, Amiya.

I know. I'll make my own judgment call.

Doctor, you keep an eye on her too!

We'll be in touch.

The ruins are empty. The high ground is currently undefended.

That's curious, does Reunion not have any commanders?

Franka, is something wrong?

Those place was supposed to be easy to defend but hard to attack.

There's no way that Reunion hasn't set up an ambush...

Die, traitors!

Tch... No sense of honor.

...Franka!! Behind you!!

I see Reunion forces coming up from the nearby ruins!

*cough*... I couldn't see... her sword?!

How... is that possible...

Haha!

Did you really think you could ambush us from there?

Don't you think you're underestimating me?

...Blacksteel...!

Fall back! Hurry!

I really thought there'd be more Reunion goons up here. I was even walking on tiptoes.

Turns out it's just a bunch of cowards. How disappointing.

You're going to get disappointed over that?!

More importantly, we have to go after them! Don't let them get away so easily!

Amiya, what do you think?

I think... it's best not to risk it!

Let's let Penguin Logistics stabilize the situation before we decide on the next thing to do.

Exusiai, can you prioritize securing the high ground?

Sure thing! I'm on my way!

Good, continue pressuring the enemy. Don't let Reunion stage a counterattack!

Reunion is trying to regroup after retreating a bit.

They're... bringing something out!

Watch out.

That thing...

is no ordinary thug!

I never expected Reunion to be working with...

Could that be...

Working with who?

You're right, this Reunion soldier does look different...

Could it be...

(Liskarm, we're currently working with the L.G.D.... It's probably not the best time to be talking about sensitive topics!)

(Ah, understood.)

(I'll tell you my theory next time!)

*yawns*...

Everyone, please get ready!

This... might be a very difficult battle!

第二十六关（后）

What the hell...

All that, for only a single Reunion squad...

And a really big guy.

Now that was the highlight. I'm totally exhausted just from dealing with him!

Impossible.

How could so many Infected vanish so quickly?

Was that giant guy just a diversion?

Did Reunion manage to completely evacuate this area in such a short period of time?

No... Madam Ch'en should have blocked off their escape route...

I'm not seeing the designated waypoint.

Something... isn't right about this.

Weeds, ruins, sand dunes...

All of which are potential spots for an ambush...

But, I'm not seeing anything.
