The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

"It doesn't matter. I will take action." Miku ended everyone's doubts with one sentence.

Miku looked at the gloomy sky in the distance and said to himself:

"The most benevolent and kind Demon King, the merciful Blood Demon, these two are enough."

91: Heroic Core

When Amiya summoned the Rhodes Island operators who were providing tactical guidance to the infected workers and expressed her wishes.

Instructor Du Bin, the commander of the accompanying security force, was the first to stand up and express his opposition.

The reasons used were the same as those Miku had given before, but they were given in more detail and the focus was on Amiya's own safety.

Even compared to those infected workers or the mercenaries signed by John's mother using the Red Label Agreement, the Rhodes Island operators who escorted Kal'tsit and Amiya to Columbia can be considered elite soldiers who have experienced many battles.

But including Amiya and Kal'tsit, there are only twelve people together.

This number of people would not be able to make even a single splash on the battlefield of this corporate war.

Not to mention that according to Amiya's plan, they had to break through the defense line of John's mother's troops, find the infected people in this urban area, and then bring them back to the factory.

When going out, you may be able to rely on stealth skills to sneak out, but when coming back... even if the number of infected people in the current block is reduced tenfold, it will be impossible to sneak back.

It was necessary to break through the defenses and establish a safe passage, which would have to be maintained for a considerable period of time.

This kind of task can no longer be described as unreasonable, it can be completely regarded as the commander's wishful thinking.

Of course, these complaints remained in Dubin's mind and were not spoken out.

Dubin simply told Amiya in a tactful way that this task was extremely difficult, to the point where it was almost impossible to accomplish.

Other Rhodes Island operators who were more experienced than Doberman also showed solemn expressions.

While thinking about how to complete this almost impossible task, he also hoped to use this attitude to persuade Amiya to give up this idea.

It is clear that with the current morale, even with a plan as detailed as possible, it may not be able to be completed.

After thinking a lot in her mind, Amiya finally gave up and repeated Mr. Blood's words to persuade her in front of these Rhodes Island operators.

Instead, he said in a very serious tone:

"The Doctor has agreed to this plan."

As soon as Amiya said this, all the Rhodes Island operators present, except Doberman, showed relieved expressions.

The pressure caused by this almost impossible task disappeared in an instant.

Dubin, who didn't understand what was going on, asked curiously:

"Even if the doctor agrees, he can't change the predicament we are facing."

"Don't worry, Instructor Doberman. Since the doctor has agreed, we will definitely be able to return victorious." The Rhodes Island operator on the side said to Doberman.

"Does the doctor have any other plans?" Doberman still didn't understand why others were so confident.

Dubin, who joined Rhodes Island because he was infected with oripathy, did not experience the Tower of Babel era like the others, and could not understand where the others' confidence in the doctor came from.

"Of course, the doctor never lets us down." Because similar things have happened too many times, the Rhodes Island operator didn't know where to start, so he didn't go into details and said confidently.

With their morale restored, the Rhodes Island operators began to formulate a detailed battle plan.

First of all, they definitely cannot walk on the surface. John's mother's troops have been conducting tentative attacks relying on their numerical advantage.

In that kind of environment, any stealth skills are useless.

Then the only option is to go underground... the completely impractical option of going in the air doesn't even have a chance to appear.

Judging from the current situation, the commander of John's mother on the opposite side is well aware of what kind of disaster will happen if he confronts Rhine Life's mecha head-on in the narrow underground pipeline area.

So even though everyone on the ground was in a state of panic, the underground pipeline area was still very quiet, and there was not even any tentative attack.

"Is there any record of the route we took before?" Amiya asked.

"I've recorded it." A female Pelo operator with her hair covering her forehead made a gesture to indicate that it was all right.

"Can you ensure that you won't be discovered by the outposts when you cross the defense line?" Amiya asked.

"Those John's mothers' defenses have many loopholes. If it's just us, we won't be discovered by those outposts."

Dubin said confidently.

After joining Rhodes Island, Doberman was specially recruited as a guard operator based on his outstanding service experience and served as an instructor for new operators of Rhodes Island.

This is why, despite having the least experience on this trip, Doberman still became the captain of the team.

Relying on his experience in mobile city operations, Doberman made the more experienced Rhodes Island operators who were traveling together this time also approve of Kal'tsit's personnel arrangement.

When I came here before

It was found that on the one hand, the time for rescuing patients could not be delayed, and on the other hand, there were many infected workers in the team.

Even so, it was not noticed until the last area of ​​the defense line.

"Very good, then we will choose to use stealth to pass through the defense line from the underground area." Amiya decisively finalized the plan.

"What happens after we get out? What happens after we find the infected? How do we gather them together and bring them back?"

Dubin dutifully pointed out the most important and difficult part of this task.

"…Right now we are completely in the dark about the outside intelligence. Even if we make more plans, they will be meaningless." Amiya said to Dubin after a moment's hesitation.

Simply translated, it means to act according to circumstances after you get out.

Knowing that what Amiya said made sense, Doberman frowned, and without asking any more questions, he began to organize his combat equipment.

With Miku's permission, the operators of Rhodes Island can use Rhine Life's weapons at will.

This stocking factory also produces various protective equipment.

After a while, these Rhodes Island operators changed into a complete set of equipment that was not more advanced than the equipment issued by Rhodes Island, but was more suitable for the current environment.

Huafalin, who was traveling with them, did not change her equipment. She was still wearing a black sleeveless vest, sun-protective gauntlets, and a small black shoulder bag.

According to Huafalin, with her strength, these equipments are just limiters.

In view of the various true and false rumors about the blood demon race, Huafalin's words did not cause any objections from others.

Because these Rhodes Island operators needed to familiarize themselves with the new equipment after changing it, Warfarin, who hadn't gotten anything, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

However, Huafalin did not urge him. She understood that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.

Finally, when Huafalin was thinking about whether to take out the blood bag to replenish his strength.

Following Doberman's order, the Rhodes Island operators, who had packed their equipment, went into the underground pipeline of the Rhine Life Factory under the personal leadership of Kal'tsit and Amiya.

Without encountering any obstacles, this top-level team from Rhodes Island in the future timeline quickly arrived at the hub space of the underground pipeline area.

The Rhine Life Robots standing in this hub space simply scanned Rhodes Island's group with the scanners on their heads and then did not respond at all.

"Over there is the defense line of those John's mothers." Doberman said to Amiya.

What Dubin meant was that after passing this area, we would enter the war zone.

The only one I can rely on is myself. If that doctor has any tricks up his sleeve, it's time to use them now.

We can't wait until this team finds all the infected people before sending in support troops, right?

If you have the ability, do you still want to hold the defense line? Just attack from all sides.

"Yeah, I know." Amiya, who knew very well why Doberman suddenly stopped, looked back at the passage.

She also hoped to see an army ready to go behind her.

But after looking for several times, Amiya still didn't see what she expected.

"Let's go, Amiya. There's no time to lose. The cold wave could arrive at any moment."

Kal'tsit sighed, knowing what Amiya was expecting.

"Okay." Amiya retracted her gaze and nodded to Doberman.

"Okay, everyone has it, ready..." Before Doberman finished his order, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor behind him.

Thinking it was reinforcements, Amiya immediately turned around with a smile on her face.

But Doberman on the side frowned. The footsteps were too messy and did not look like an army at all.

It is not suitable for such special operations missions at all.

As the footsteps got closer, a glimmer of hope flashed across Amiya's face.

The people who came over were not well-trained soldiers, but infected workers who had just been trained as soldiers a few days ago.

"What are you doing here?" Dubin asked loudly, standing between Amiya and the infected workers.

"I heard Mr. Blood say a cold wave is coming!"

"The land was hard decoupled, right? I've experienced this before, it's this vibration!"

"My brothers, they're still out there!"

"You have brothers?"

"They saved me when I was driven here, so how come they're not brothers?"

The infected crusaders, numbering about fifty or sixty in total, said a lot of random things in a disorganized manner. To sum up, they knew that a cold wave was coming, and the hard decoupling of the land would definitely affect the city's power supply, water supply, and heating.

The infected people who are still outside are basically doomed to die.

After listening to these messy explanations, Doberman had a look of suppressed anger on his face. The majesty brought by several days of instructor work also calmed down these infected workers.

The angry Doberman glanced at Warfarin, who only grimaced at him. Then, the instructor, who was very dedicated in all tasks, said to the infected workers in a tone that was almost like a roar:

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"You are abandoning your position! You are deserting the battlefield!"

"If you abandon your position,

Others have made greater sacrifices, and even caused the loss of the entire factory. Who among you is responsible? Who can be held responsible?"

Dubin's roaring speech made the infected workers shrink their necks together.

Although they have undergone a series of physical modifications, the shortest of these infected workers is a head taller than Doberman.

But in front of Doberman, they all behaved like trained children.

Regardless of whether these infected workers accepted his reprimand or not, Dubin took a deep breath and slowed down his tone before ordering:

"Now, soldiers, go back! Go back immediately! Return to your position before the enemy reacts!"

"But..." These infected crusaders were slightly shaken by Dobin's words, but no one turned back.

After saying these harsh words, Doberman, who knew he should be more tactful, continued:

"More importantly, you have only been trained for a short time and are not suitable for this rescue mission. What you should do most is to stay at your post and wait for us to return with your family, relatives and friends."

Finally, Dubin's words took effect, and several infected crusaders at the end of the team turned their heads hesitantly.

Just when Dubin was about to say something else, a voice came from all directions in the spacious corridor:

"So what if they have enough power?"

"Doctor!" Although this purely electronic synthesized sound is different from the voice of the doctor in her memory, Amiya has memorized this voice deeply in her mind after contact with Miku in the past few days.

"?" Du Bin, who didn't understand where Miku was talking from, looked around, but in the empty hub space, there were still only a few Rhine Life mechas squatting there quietly.

When Doberman withdrew her puzzled gaze, she was immediately startled by the tall figure that appeared beside her out of nowhere.

The instructor almost pulled out the whip from his belt, but fortunately Doberman quickly realized that the tall and elusive figure was the Dr. Rhodes Island who was placed with great trust.

After a brief pause, Dubin said to Miku who suddenly appeared beside her:

"This is not a question of strength. This kind of rescue mission requires more experience, which is exactly what these soldiers lack the most."

It is also impossible to train it in a short period of time.

From the messy footsteps just now, Dobin could tell that if these infected workers were allowed to join this mission.

Then all stealth-related methods in combat missions can be cancelled.

"I know, instructor." Miku did not deny Dubin's words, but continued calmly:

"There are 60 people in total, including 15 heavy armors, 15 archers, 15 warlocks, and 15 fortresses."

"..." Not knowing why Miku brought up this matter, Doberman took a quick look at the equipment of these infected workers and found that it was indeed as Dr. Miku said, the four professions were very evenly matched.

"With all due respect, Doctor, this ratio is not suitable for use on the battlefield. This further proves that these soldiers have no experience in special operations."
