In the pitch-black Wastelands, Abyss City's 500 soldiers followed the armored vehicle ahead, marching in silence.
Petra moved to the back of the formation and said coldly, "Keep up. Anyone who falls behind will be executed."
Andrew, who had been sitting in the vehicle and driving it earlier, had disappeared at some point. Instead, Juno was behind the wheel.
Several soldiers noticed this and could not help getting anxious, their eyes darting around nervously.
One of them was a bearded man carrying a battle axe. He also had a heavy firearm holstered at his waist.
He shouted, "Sir, I need a break to take a leak."
Petra walked over and said coldly, "What did you say? Don't you know what we're here to do?"
The bearded man lifted his chin and said carelessly, "Yeah, I know. We're going to ambush the Cathedral's army. But sir, honestly, I'm not mentally prepared for this! I've only been with Abyss City for less than two days, and you're already making us carry out such a dangerous mission. I'm having second thoughts about joining Abyss City now. Can I return all the equipment, and let me leave?"
Petra said indifferently, "Are you sure about that?"
The bearded man replied, "Absolutely. Mr. Lloyd isn't even around anymore. Who knows if he's sold us out? The Cathedral's army has over ten thousand men, and we're going to ambush them with this small force?"
He scoffed and added, "No offense, sir, but I think we're walking into a death trap! We'd be better off going back to Abyss City and defending the city instead!"
