Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Walking onto the upper deck of Rhode Island, the first thing that catches your eye is not the two near-earth aircraft that have just returned from the battlefield, wearing a battle-damaged version of the paint, nor is it the blood demon doctor hanging upside down on the bridge and sleeping. Warfarin.

It is a huge city full of technology, so huge that it makes Rhode Island, which is about the same size as a land aircraft carrier docked next to the city, look insignificant.

Perhaps it is because the mobile city in the Terra world has a limited area and cannot continue to expand its area.

In order to accommodate the increasing population, the only way is to trade space for area. The result is that the density of high-rise buildings in this city is comparable to the metropolises in the cyberpunk worldview in Milin's memory, or even worse. Nothing less.

Even in shantytowns located on the edge of the city, the architectural style is stacked one on top of another like a stack of Arhats.

If there were some neon billboards, Milin would even mistake this city called "Dragon Gate" for the Night City.

Neither Milin nor Lapland showed any surprise when Rhode Island appeared outside the dragon gate.

When Lapland joined Rhode Island, it happened to be not long after Rhode Island rescued Dr. Milin from the sarcophagus in Chernobog.

During the operation to rescue the doctor from his coffin, Rhode Island lost too many elite operators due to the head-on collision of the integration movement. The first thing Dr. Milin did when he once again became the combat commander of Rhode Island was to recruit combat operators.

And they use hard currency that is harder than Longmen coins - "synthetic jade" that can be used as industrial components to recruit.

No one knows where the doctor who just crawled out of the coffin got so much synthetic jade. Even if he had left behind, it was too much.

Lapland became an operator of Rhodes Island just for such stupid money... Oh no, he was rich and powerful.

Lapland still remembered that not long after Dr. Milin recruited her, she did not know where she found the signs of the heads of the Syracuse families who had been killed by her and gave them to her as gifts.

Taking into account that elegant set of bad omens, is this really something you can do with money?

Milin, who didn't pay attention to Lapland's thoughts, withdrew his gaze and looked at Skadi, who was standing on the edge of the deck, carrying a huge sword on his back, and seemed to be looking into the distance.

Skadi, who was fascinated by what he was looking at, did not react to Milin's appearance.

On the contrary, the blood demon doctor Warfarin, who was hanging on the bridge and sleeping with his eyes closed, twisted his body and shouted as if he saw a savior:

"Doctor! I really just care about your body, Doctor, and I don't want to drink your blood! As a professional doctor, I can distinguish between food and patients!"

"Is that so?" Milin, who heard Warfarin's defense, smiled and pulled out a sword from Lapland's waist and drew it across his palm.

Bright red blood dripped onto the deck, and Warfarin, who was hanging upside down on the bridge, suddenly let out a beast-like roar after a moment of silence.

The originally red eyes were glowing with blood, and the little tiger teeth protruding from the mouth lost their cuteness and became ferocious.

Warfarin, who struggled like a restrained beast for a while before slowly calming down, said:

"I will tell Kelsey that it was you, doctor, who deliberately seduced me."

"Yes, I did it on purpose, so just keep hanging." Milin, who was not surprised by Warfarin's reaction just now, said.

"Hey, I was just joking. Doctor, please put me down!" Warfarin said quickly when she saw that Milin really didn't care about her.

Unfortunately, Milin acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked straight towards Skadi.

Warfarin made such a big noise, even if Skadi wanted to pretend not to see Milin, she couldn't.

When Milin was still a few steps away from Skadi, the Guards operator who joined Rhode Island as a mercenary took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said.

"Doctor, are you looking for me because of the combat report?"

...Finally it wasn't taken out from the headlights...

"? What battle report?" Milin was stunned for a moment, then realized what Skadi was talking about and shook his head and said: "I also hate writing battle reports."

Milin said this because Skadi likes to use the simple word "complete" as his combat report to submit to the Rhode Island control center.

And because most of the missions Skadi performs are solo operations, few other teammates can help her write reports.

So much so that every time an operator needs to come to Skadi to ask about the specific combat process.

Sure enough, Milin, who took the report from Skadi, saw that there was a line with the word "complete" crossed out by several lines in the report.

The words at the back are neat, but at a glance you can tell that the writer was very reluctant, a combat report like a running account.

For example, at XX time, in XX place, XX enemies were defeated, and how long after that, XX enemies were defeated.

Basically nothing of value can be seen.

When Milin looked at this combat report, Skadi fell into some kind of entanglement.

Because Skadi was hired by Kelsey, he joined Rhode Island earlier, and he has always acted alone.

So this is Skadi’s first meeting with Dr. Milin from Rhode Island.

However, this first meeting with Dr. Milin made Skadi feel a sense of intimacy that he had never experienced before.

This kind of closeness is not the closeness of blood connection of deep-sea hunters, but something similar to the closeness of reunion with old friends.

But Skadi has never found in his memory the experience of meeting Dr. Milin.

Skadi, who couldn't understand where this feeling came from, almost used great perseverance to resist the urge to hug Milin.

Not only was it inappropriate to meet someone for the first time, but also because Skadi knew that he was still being hunted by Haiji, so getting close to someone rashly would only put the other person's life in danger.

So Skadi fell into a wavering tangle.

Milin, who noticed Skadi's struggle, smiled slightly and said, "If you want to hug me, hug me. This is the bond between the two of us."

The deep-sea hunter who almost hugged him because of Milin's words took a step back in confusion and said, "No need, I'm in danger."

"Heir is not a big danger. He is just a member of Lovecraft's family. He can't even beat a dog." Milin put away the perfunctory battle report in his hand and said that Jean Si Katie's expression changed drastically.

"How...how did you know?" Skadi subconsciously raised his hand to hold the hilt of the giant sword behind him, and at the same time looked around, as if he was wary of something.

"I know what I should know. Speaking of which, has Ghost Shark joined Rhode Island at this time?" Milin said to Skadi.

"Ghost shark? Is she still alive?!" When Skadi heard the name Milin mentioned, he finally couldn't help but raised his hand and grabbed Milin's arm and asked.

"You haven't smoked yet...haven't you joined yet?" Milin, who got the answer from Skadi's reaction, said, "Then I'll take you to meet her by the way."

As he spoke, Milin took out his arm and put it on the opponent's shoulder with a movement that even Skadi couldn't react to. The other hand also placed on Lapland's shoulder.

Seeing the three people disappearing on the deck like great transformed living beings, Warfarin who was hanging upside down shouted loudly after being stunned for a moment:

"Oops! Kelsey! Your ex-boyfriend ran away! Kelsey! Kelsey, can you hear me? Put me down quickly!"

"She shouldn't be able to hear you now." Milin's voice sounded directly below Warfarin.

"Hey? Doctor, are you doing magic?" Warfarin looked confused when she saw Milin reappearing.

Although Warfarin's combat power is not very strong, she is still an "old thing" who has lived for hundreds of years and is well-informed. However, she did not see how the doctor disappeared and how he appeared.

"I've always been here, and what's gone is just a phantom of the future... Tsk, double opening is still a bit of a headache. This guy Alori knows how to make this kind of mess for me."

Milin said something that made Warfarin confused.

Before the confused Warfarin could ask, Milin raised his head and looked into the distance and said, "Kelsey can't hear you because she has more important things to do now."

Following Milin's movements, Warfarin raised her head and looked into the distance, only to see an equally huge mobile city appearing on the horizon.
