At the moment the voice was heard, without Quinton giving an order, the soldiers around him collectively raised their guns aimed at that line of people.
However, Colonel Quinton's face suddenly turned grim, the laughter abruptly stopped, and his gaze, uncertain, fell on that line of people.
"What's wrong, Colonel Quinton? On behalf of the troops stationed in the Fire Hills area from the 104th Division, I thank you for your generous action and yet you seem unwelcoming to us," Jerome said with a smile.
Colonel Quinton's face turned into a broad smile in the blink of an eye as he laughed loudly:
"Haha, how could that be? I'm truly thrilled to see Major Jerome here; you're all excellent warriors of the Federation. Seeing you alive makes me really happy."
With a sincere smile on his face, Colonel Quinton stepped forward and firmly grasped Major Jerome's hands, shaking them vigorously.
Someone unaware would certainly be touched by this warm reunion scene.
