Walking slowly along the corridor leading to the infirmary, Xingji asked Uncle Mi:

"What is the identity of the person I brought back?"

"The captain of the Army's Third Special Investigation Team, Yoji Itami, has the rank of lieutenant."

Uncle Mi replied without thinking. It seemed that he had done his homework in advance about bringing a self-defense team member with him when he returned from Xingke.

"Oh? Captain?"

"Any questions?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, I was just thinking, it just so happens that..."

It seems that the one who survived in the end happened to be the commander who ordered the team to enter Maple Forest. This is really a trick of fate.

"By the way, I haven't told you yet. When I found him, he was in the red maple forest, and at that time he and his team were still fighting a team of two hundred [Professionals]

Woolen cloth……"

At this time, Uncle Mi’s surprised voice interrupted Xingke’s narration:

"Two hundred [professionals]?!"

"Huh? Is this the point?"

"Isn't it? Master! The combat power of just one [Professor] can match that of our team if the intelligence is equal. Two hundred people are a big problem..."

It seems that not only someone in the empire has figured out the weakness of the army, but also the people in the army have figured out the combat effectiveness of professionals, and they have also regarded them as dangerous and vigilant objects.

It's just that Xingke didn't want to hear this, and that wasn't the point of his words.

"Stop, stop, stop... Of course I know this, but don't you care? They are a group of guys dressed in green, and they are a field army organized by the army. They ran into the red maple forest to fight with others, don't you think?

Has their captain lost his mind?"

Only then did Uncle Mi realize that he and his young master were not on the same page.

"Ah...Well, of course I feel this way..."

It’s just that if you want me to die, I will die even if you are just showing off...

Jun Ze, on the other hand, just pretended not to notice and Shen was just pretending, right?

"Right? When I saw it, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak!~ Those who didn't know better thought they were using it as bait."

Of course Xingke was not really surprised or puzzled. This was all preparation for the next sentence:

"However, the on-site commander cannot be blamed for such a situation, right? Maybe it was because the situation at the time had no choice?

I personally think that putting all the responsibility for the incident on the on-site command is the most incompetent... So in the future, the production of combat uniforms cannot be all-color? At least the inner shirt should be made into a warm camouflage color like khaki? Doesn't it have to be matching?

!”

Perhaps he suddenly thought of the grudge between his young master and the military industrial laboratory, and Uncle Mi answered without any doubt:

"I understand, young master, I will report it tomorrow to condemn the military industrial laboratory and ask them to modify the design..."

"Yes! All the responsibility for this stupid thing happening this time lies with the idiots in the military industrial laboratory. Those idiots who get a little bit of technology all day long and know how to transform it into scrap metal without any romantic flavor. For my proposal

Idiots who completely deny the upright walking chariots and humanoid combat weapons...should have more responsibility and responsibility, and no salary increase."

Very insidiously, he dumped all the blame on the most innocent military industrial laboratory, and he felt very good at that moment.

It was at this time that Uncle Mi, who was leading the way, suddenly said:

"Master, we are here."

When Xingke heard the words, he looked up and saw a room in front of him being guarded by two security guards.

That's the room.

With the advantage of their military rank, the two of them knocked on the door and entered the ward without any obstruction.

"Ah, it seems you are recovering well. Can you stand up now?"

When they arrived, the only patient in the room was already standing by the window reminiscing about life.

"Good evening! Your Excellency, General! Your Excellency, Major!"

With a stiff smile, Captain Itami turned around and saluted Xingke and Uncle Mi.

"Hello, young man, it's not easy to survive..."

It seemed that Hoshikatsu's words had stimulated something in Captain Itami's heart. Itami's expression immediately became unnatural and he asked:

"Your Excellency General, my companion..."

"died."

"..." Itami's face became very ugly.

"And the bodies are still in the maple forest."

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Itami's expression turned gritty.

"Tell you something."

As he spoke, Xingke signaled to Uncle Mi and asked him to listen.

"After such a battle, it's a miracle that you survived.

If it weren’t for [I, who was on a confidential mission, passed by and rescued you in time, you would have died on that battlefield!]

Do you understand what I mean? Lieutenant Yohji Itami?"

"...Understood. Your Majesty General."

Although he said he understood what he said, the expression on his face still showed a faint sense of depression.

There was no way, the entire team was wiped out, and part of the responsibility definitely lay with himself, and he was the only one who survived. This feeling was indeed unimaginably complicated.

"Forget it, that's it. I just returned to the base and I don't know much about the cause of this incident. Let's make a memory together.

What kind of mission are Uncle Mi, Itami and their team performing? What’s the reason?”

"...A week ago, intelligence told us that Neon citizens who were suspected of being captured as slaves on Christmas Eve were found in the second prince's summer villa somewhere.

Because there was a precedent for the big prince, we decided to send out a rescue team. Because the distance was a bit far and it was still an unexplored area, we decided at that time that a few elites would come over to inquire about the news..."

"But in the end, we ended up like this..."

Captain Itami suddenly spoke out to end the conversation with Uncle Mi, and seemed to have recovered a lot.

"At first, after arriving at the target location, we just found that satellite communications were suddenly restricted, but we didn't care.

After all, it is already at the edge of the communication range. Poor communication in other worlds is common, so regular contact becomes very unstable.

But after that, our team felt as if it was under some kind of surveillance. After we started taking action, not only did we not see the victim in the intelligence, but we were also chased by people who had already laid an ambush.

We didn't have time to think too much. We wanted to avoid a head-on conflict, but as time passed, when we realized it, we were already surrounded by dozens of shield [professionals].

But in the end, we managed to escape from the second prince's villa area, but the pursuit had just begun...

According to the plan, after we kept breaking through to a weakly defended place, we were forced into a forest.

Originally, if it was an ordinary forest, it would be more conducive for us to avoid pursuit, but... when we identified the direction and prepared to take a detour, we found...

The forest, which is supposed to be an ordinary forest that has not yet completely withered, turned into a maple forest as we walked forward, all red, and we were completely covered in green and had nowhere to hide!
