After entering the lower district, the team's formation began to change.
The Shieldguards moved to the front of the team, while the Rhodes Island party trailed behind them.
Everyone was tense at this moment, as indoors was different from outside.
Once discovered, it would immediately turn into the bloodiest street fighting.
Moreover, their side, at most, numbered less than a hundred, appearing as insignificant as ants before an elephant when facing more than half of Reunion Movement plus that mysterious Ursus regular army.
At this moment, everyone held the Electro Seeds that Kanna had given them in advance.
Patriot and the Lungmen side curiously watched the small, faintly lightning-emitting contraptions in Rhodes Island's hands.
After all, only Frostnova had personally witnessed and faced this thing.
Everyone else was seeing it for the first time and didn't understand why these Rhodes Island personnel were holding such a thing instead of weapons.
Fortunately, Patriot's curiosity wasn't strong, and Penguin Logistics, who were the most curious, didn't follow along.
After all, they still had a large cart of goods out in the wilderness.
In addition, this time Rhodes Island was on a joint military operation with Lungmen, so even if Exusiai was very tempted, Texas wouldn't let her participate in such matters.
After walking a certain distance, the group suddenly discovered a figure sitting on the ground not far away, with many corpses extending from the edge of their vision.
The person sitting on the ground was startled when they suddenly saw the Shieldguard appear from behind, almost getting slashed in the back by the pursuing Sarkaz.
Fortunately, she reacted in time, lunging forward like a dog pouncing on food, dodging the fatal blow.
Then, she quickly ran towards the Rhodes Island side.
Upon nearing, ACE and Ascalon vigilantly stood in front of Doctor and Amiya.
"W! What are you doing here?" ACE nervously watched the American cockroach approaching not far away.
"Ah? Me? Just as you see!
These sons of bitches dared to betray me!
When I get out of here, I'm going to pull their guts out of their *ssholes, then wrap them around their necks and hang these sons of bitches!" Spitting out blood from her mouth, W cursed the Sarkaz who were chasing her while hiding to the side of the Shieldguard.
The Shieldguard, who were initially wary of the sudden appearance of the person, relaxed when they realized Rhodes Island knew her and let her slip past.
And those Sarkaz pursuing W, upon seeing her hide behind the Shieldguard, decisively abandoned their mission and retreated the way they came.
"Didn't I hear you were doing well in Kazdel? How did you get stabbed in the back by your own people?"
ACE was still a bit surprised by W's disheveled state.
After all, when Princess Theresa was assassinated, the princess's chef, W, almost went mad.
If it weren't for everyone's intervention, Doctor, as the commander, would probably have been placed in the princess's coffin to be buried with her.
That's why he instinctively blocked in front of Doctor the moment he saw W, fearing that this always somewhat radical woman would remember past events and come to trouble Doctor again.
And the reason they tacitly protected her was that after leaving Babel, they heard W had traveled almost all of Terra, sending all those who participated in the assassination of the princess to be buried with her.
How could Rhodes Island, who inherited Babel and Theresa's legacy, stand by and do nothing when she encountered danger?
After entering the protective circle, W also saw Doctor.
Upon noticing W's gaze, ACE vigilantly looked at her.
"You'd best not have any ulterior motives, otherwise, we can save you and we can also throw you out."
"Tsk!" W withdrew her gaze from Doctor and surveyed the suddenly appearing team.
"So, you're the Shieldguards Talulah mentioned who suddenly entered the city! Hmm~ Just you guys?
Where's that Patriot guy?
If he's not coming, are you entering the city to die?"
Although W saw the Aegislash and Glaceon floating in mid-air, she clearly didn't recognize them.
At this moment, she was curious why the Shieldguards, Patriot's most elite subordinates, would be with Rhodes Island, and why Patriot himself hadn't come.
Everyone glanced at Patriot above them, then Ascalon walked up to W.
"What are you doing here again?
What's your relationship with Reunion Movement and Talulah?"
"Ascalon? You're actually here!
Where's that old hag Kal'tsit!" W's eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Ascalon, not expecting her to leave Rhodes Island.
However, seeing Amiya, whom she was shielding behind her, she understood.
If SWEEP, which Rhodes Island created as a belated remedy, appeared on the battlefield, there could only be one situation: the person they were protecting was here, and Amiya clearly fit this deduction.
"As you can see, that guy Scout killed Garrison earlier, who was the temporary leader of us Sarkaz sent to support Reunion Movement.
Hreid is going back to Kazdel to apologize, so I just took over the team here.
I didn't expect these sons of bitches to dare betray me and defect to Talulah... Hmm!
You wouldn't be here to cause trouble for Talulah, would you?"
W, who had hidden by the wall, was leaning there with her hands spread, ready to rest, because she had already sustained serious injuries from her previous battle with Talulah.
As a result, she encountered these traitors after coming down, and she was almost exhausted.
After being rescued, she planned to slack off, rest a bit, and then slip away, but when she got to this point, she suddenly realized Rhodes Island's objective.
"That's right, our goal this time is to defeat Talulah, the leader of Reunion Movement, and then, relying on Patriot's prestige, make Reunion Movement withdraw from Chernobog and separate Reunion Movement from this Chernobog conspiracy."
Seeing W's eyes light up as she looked at his group, Doctor answered her question very straightforwardly.
He judged that W's betrayal must be related to Talulah, so perhaps she could provide assistance to his group.
Hearing Doctor's words, W temporarily put aside her dislike for him, "You're planning to go from here to the central city, right?
I can lead the way for you!"
"No need, we have Shieldguards familiar with the terrain here to assist us.
We know how to go..." ACE, who was always wary of W, refused.
"You'll definitely need me, after all, to escape the pursuit of those ungrateful wolves, I used a little trick, so probably all the paths you know can no longer be used.
But I can help you open a new path!" W raised her hand and made a tiny gesture with her index finger and thumb.
After hearing her words, ACE looked in Amiya's direction, because if W stayed, it would pose a certain threat to Doctor.
