The branch chief said, glaring at the wolf in the screen with disgust.
"There have been no invaders in this area for several years. So someone proposed a plan to build a new human military base... but this beast came to hinder us."
The more dispersed the base is in response to the appearance of invaders, the easier it is to deal with the sudden appearance.
With this background, the human army is quite active in the construction of bases.
What happened this time should be part of it, but it seems to be hindered by the wolf in question.
"Don't you know what his purpose is? Did he himself say anything?"
"That beast can talk?"
“I’ve been exposed to non-human birds that speak human language before.”
"...At least there have been no similar reports from people who had direct contact with him."
"Have you ever come into contact with anyone who is still alive?"
Mist finally felt relieved, and his reaction made the branch chief look a little unhappy.
Mist was anxious whether there was any slip of the tongue, and Ajid had no idea how the branch chief would react.
"...Before the survivors, no one died from contact with that guy..."
"……There's none?"
"Ah, that's right. There are only injured people, no dead people... That beast seemed to be laughing at me and left without killing me...!"
Although he hindered the construction work, he left without killing anyone.
From the outside, it may seem like a good thing that there are no dead people, but for the party being beaten - especially the person fighting the opponent, it is humiliating.
Although I noticed that the branch chief was hostile to the wolf, it seemed that it was not just because the construction was hindered.
"We have named this beast 'Gray 1'. Please note that materials, etc. are labeled as such."
"There is a name for identification. Is this an inherent individual?"
"I've had contact with them ten times so far, but they don't appear to be in groups. After all, it's probably just that guy."
"In order to conquer that, conquer and fight?"
"It will bring out something like a clone. Don't you also have such an individual?"
Like the large invaders of artificial islands and the slimes of North America, their numbers are constantly increasing.
Considering that the opponent's maximum number is still unknown, it is reasonable to fully mobilize combat power to attack.
"We will discuss the specific combat content later, but let me tell you one thing first."
The branch chief faced Ajid and Mist again, and the atmosphere was much sharper than before.
His attitude made both of them nervous, and he spoke heavily in front of them.
"Theon Istar will not be allowed to participate in this battle... In addition, I request that he be monitored while your troops stay at this base."
The branch chief said lightly, his eyes stern.
"Although we know that our superiors recognize him as a facilitator, we do not trust him and do not want people who cannot be relied on to participate in the battle. ... If you cannot accept this condition, please 'Mistoltin' leave this base immediately."
Although it is not impossible to understand the branch chief's thoughts, it is too one-sided.
"I understand your thoughts... However, precisely because the enemy is not human, Istar's power is needed."
"Who can guarantee that people other than the person in question will not side with Gray 1? Let them participate in the battle, and can you guarantee that they will never betray them at a critical moment?"
When he said this, Xiaojing had no room to refute.
Even if he confirmed it with Xion himself, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't lie, and besides, these wouldn't be enough materials to convince the branch chief.
"...Captain, I also agree with the branch chief's opinion."
"Mist?"
"Although they are a common enemy, no one can guarantee that he will not betray himself in a battle with others. He himself also said that depending on the opponent, he will not fight. I think that in a situation where there are many uncertainties, Under the circumstances, non-interference in combat is the best option."
Misty has never made such a claim, and the request from the branch chief, the person in charge of operations, cannot be ignored.
"In this case, what I want to say is that it is dangerous to rely on others to fight against others. If you rely too much on him, once he disappears in some form, the combat effectiveness will drop significantly. We need to rely on human strength to confrontation."
The branch chief's words hurt Xiaojing's heart.
In fact, it was because of Theon's power that the battle so far had been able to be overcome with minimal losses. Without him, the Mist would likely have sunk.
However, there is no guarantee that Theon will continue to assist us in the future.
Theon himself may leave, and the relationship may break down due to the treachery of the human military.
At that time, can "Miststan" continue to win the battle with Annie as before?
Because he was angry, because he was unhappy, he killed him
——I know this is not good ethically, and there are only losses in terms of gains and losses, but I still followed my heart.
—This is how Theon Istar exists.
After dozens of terrorists disappeared without a trace, Theon's words in the banquet hall came to mind again.
The moment his heart leaves the human army, Theon's cooperative relationship with the human army may disappear without a trace, as if it never existed from the beginning.
Does Xiaojing really have a way to stop him?
It was easy to say before the Yadong incident, but now Ajid does not have this confidence.
Having lost Theon Istar, I don’t think there is anything I can do to change Theon’s will.
(…it’s also necessary to keep a little distance)
In any case, "Miststan" has no option not to participate in the battle.
Perhaps taking this as an opportunity, Ajit should reconsider his future relationship with Theon.
Aki sighed deeply and replied that he would accept the branch chief's request.
To escape the uneasiness in my heart blankly.
"That's it, I understand."
After having a conversation with the branch chief at the base, he called Theon to the bridge and told him that he would be monitored until the end of this battle and his movements would be restricted. As a result, he got such a cheerful response.
"...Anything less?"
"Nothing? I don't say that, it's almost the same as my reaction during the assassination commotion."
Theon was attacked by the human army and thought he could not be trusted and lost his means of attack, but he still did not give up the rescue.
The branch chief refused to participate in the battle because he could not trust Xion.
Indeed, it is just a reversal of stance and the same thing is said.
"He wouldn't immediately say he wanted to kill me. He should be a very calm person, right?"
"It would be nice if you had no objection..."
The same is true for the assassination attempt. Theon's malice and hostility from the human army goes beyond tolerance to indifference.
"That's why we won't be so hostile."
It can be said that it was precisely because of his excessive indifference that Theon's anger was not touched.
If he had reacted like an average person, the relationship might have been completely broken by the time of the assassination attempt.
This is very convenient for human armies, but for Ajit...it's a bit complicated.
Theon, who usually behaves in a childlike manner for his age or more than his age, can sometimes come across as a distant old man.
A teenager who is not yet an adult smiles and says "nothing can be done" and accepts unreasonable demands. At least for Xiaojing, it is uncomfortable to watch.
"Well, there is a group of people standing behind, which means surveillance will start soon after this, okay?"
"Yes. After that, infantry troops will be sent to monitor you and you will not be allowed to enter the central area including the hangar and bridge."
"Where's the time?"
"Until the battle is over. I won't tell you the specific battle schedule."
"Hoo~ You are so thorough."
Although completely excluded from the mosquito net, Theon did not seem dissatisfied.
"Is it okay to go to the cafeteria and shower room? Well, just think of it as a rainy holiday and let me have a good rest."
"Well, you don't have to do anything...it's okay if I don't use your power."
"Yeah, I can take it easy too."
I don't know if he didn't notice Misty's sarcasm, or if he noticed it but turned a blind eye. Facing Theon, who always looked relaxed, Misty's expression became a little serious.
"…If there is nothing on your side, would I like you to leave the bridge immediately?"
