第二十八关（前）

It's dangerous to lose focus on the battlefield.

I'm sorry...

I just... am having trouble understanding...

Reunion has bunkered down inside an abandoned mine.

That woman, W, also fled inside.

I can give you some space if you need time alone.

However, the L.G.D. has no time to waste.

Hoshiguma, gather the others.

(Misha...)

Madam Ch'en--

I have one concern.

Concern?

W is a master of explosives.

It's highly likely that she has deployed traps on the battlefield.

I'm worried that... we'd sustain heavy casualties from a direct confrontation.

My suggestion is for Rhodes Island to sneak into the mine while your forces set up an encirclement.

We'll flush out the Reunion forces, and you can arrest them immediately...

And those who refuse to surrender, we'll handle our way.

How confident do you feel about facing that woman?

I'm not sure...

...But we can bear that risk.

We've fought her more than once before. At least we have some understanding of her fighting style.

There are some risks... that the L.G.D. can't afford to shoulder.

We can't afford to lose sight of the mission objective either.

PC94172, take our forces and surround the mines!

Hoshiguma, pick out a few troops to take with you.

We'll each take a squad and move in with Rhodes Island.

Hoshiguma, you and Rhodes Island will split off and pincer them. Destroy their base of operations, and rout their defenses.

I'll take care of the firebases.

For Lungmen's sake, we have to...

...bring Misha back.

...Understood.

I'll gather our operators.

Ch'en, there's a small group of Reunion forces heading out along the edge of the mines.

They're moving pretty quickly, too.

I'll head out first, otherwise we might lose them.

Hurry. Don't let them get away.

Ah, Madam Hoshiguma, please wait a moment.

When they ambushed us earlier, they were hiding some casters among their forces.

I'd recommend taking two of our operators, Franka and Liskarm, with your squad.

They have a lot of experience fighting casters.

No problem.

All right, let's do this, shall we?

What about you, Amiya?

Dr. Kal'tsit told us to...

Penguin Logistics is backing me up, so I'll be fine.

Sounds like a plan.

I can't stress this enough, but don't be too stubborn. Back off if the situation gets too rough.

Amiya?

I know.

We don't have much time left.

This isn't like Chernobog... This time, it's our turn to stop Reunion!
