Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

Isud wore a suit of Exquisite Power Armor, mixed into the Combat Nuns' flank, wielding a Chain Sword, and was locked in combat with a Lord of Lust beast cavalryman.

Her movements were smooth and fierce, yet carried an imperceptible stiffness—not Isud's way of fighting.

But "Mu Ren Yi Hao" controlled by Lena.

Lena came after all; she mixed into the Imperial Cult's forces and came personally to save him.

Isud's gaze penetrated the clamorous battlefield, precisely meeting Lin En's gaze.

In that instant, Lin En saw in her eyes emotions that a "puppet" should not have.

It was that clear-headed, rational consciousness that always silently supported him from behind.

Her eyes held relief and a trace of barely concealed deep affection.

Seeing Lin En was unharmed, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

That tiny, almost imperceptible change in expression was precisely captured by Lin En.

Only he could understand—that was her relief after confirming he was safe and sound.

A warm current surged in Lin En's heart, even though his body still could not move, even though he was surrounded by Chaos.

He no longer felt despair, because he knew Lena would never abandon him.

The clever Lena realized something had happened to him the moment she lost contact with Lin En.

And the connection between the Bug Swarm's Consciousness Network and the Tearing Worm by Lin En's side was also forcibly severed by an unknown power.

Lena could not accurately determine who it was, but she roughly guessed that Lin En had most likely fallen into a Chaos trap.

But she did not impulsively lead the Bug Swarm to force their way into the Bravius Main Hive.

She clearly knew that doing so would not only completely expose the Bug Swarm's existence, rendering all of Lin En's previous layouts to integrate all of Bravius's powers futile,

but would also face full resistance from the Main Hive's garrison upon entering the city, delaying the precious time to rescue Lin En.

She chose the smartest and safest way.

Lena immediately, through her identity as Governor's Wife Isud, contacted Carter and Imperial Cult Archbishop Goodwin.

She did not expose her Bug Race identity, merely acting in the name of Governor's Wife.

She conveyed to both the news that "Governor Sir is suspected to have encountered danger at Saint Galus Castle."

Carter's loyalty to Lin En had long penetrated to the marrow; upon receiving the news, he immediately assembled all his elite PDF Forces.

He blockaded all roads around Saint Galus Castle, strictly forbidding anyone from entering or leaving, while laying heavy defensive lines in the Outer Areas.

To prevent the enemy from breaking out, and also to prevent other forces from taking advantage of the fire to loot.

And Archbishop Goodwin, as the highest leader of the Imperial Cult in Bravius, after receiving Lena's news,

immediately mobilized the Imperial Cult's armed forces specifically for dealing with sudden Chaos incidents, advancing toward Saint Galus Castle at the fastest speed.

The two respectively mobilized armed forces to counter mortal forces and Imperial Cult armed forces to deal with sudden situations.

And Lena herself controlled "Mu Ren Yi Hao" Isud, mixing into the Imperial Cult's forces.

She personally came to this core land of Chaos, only to confirm Lin En's safety, or to provide him a trace of help at the most critical moment.

This act received Goodwin's tacit approval.

Just as Lena led people to rescue Lin En, outside the Forbidden Wall on the Brevis Icefield.

Lei Ou led a lightly equipped Vanguard Army force, having just finished mopping up a remnant Green Skin force.

Lei Ou, who had an instinctive desire for battle, even if the remaining Green Skins no longer needed the Vanguard Army to strike, he still couldn't help but go out to "stroll around."

The snow was covered with Green Skin corpses; he stood on the roof of the Leman Russ Tank, raising his hand to wipe away snow foam and bloodstains from his face.

He looked at the tall silhouette of the Forbidden Wall in the distance, a relieved smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

This mop-up went smoothly; large-scale Green Skins were becoming fewer and fewer, and the situation on the Brevis Icefield had completely stabilized.

He thought that after returning this time, he would report the recent battle results to Lin En at the first opportunity; then Lin En would surely show a rare smile upon seeing the battle report.

Just then, the attack came without warning.

Not from Green Skin remnants, but from a human attack.

A thick crimson light beam descended from the sky, carrying world-destroying might, precisely striking the Leman Russ Tank he was riding.

Boom~!!!

A violent explosion sounded; the tank's heavy armor instantly melted and shattered under the high temperature of the light beam.

Metal fragments mixed with flames flew everywhere; the shockwave of the explosion violently hurled Lei Ou away.

He rolled several times in the air, heavily crashing onto the cold snow, a sharp pain came from his chest, and a mouthful of fresh blood uncontrollably spurted out, dyeing the white snow beneath him red.

Lei Ou propped himself up and climbed up from the snow, ignoring the pain on his body, and fiercely raised his head to look at the sky.

In the sky, a huge Gray Knight Mecha landed heavily, kicking up layers of snow.

The mecha's surface bore the emblem of the Saint Galus Family—that was a figure he was extremely familiar with.

Aiden.

Aiden, a veteran Holy Knight of the Saint Galus Family, and also a confidant personally sent by Karadong to the Forbidden Wall to protect his safety.

He had followed Karadong for over ten years, steady and reliable in character; Lei Ou trusted him extremely, regarding him as his right-hand man.

But at this moment, this familiar Knight Mecha emitted a cold and unfamiliar killing intent.

After Aiden's mecha landed, the Gatling Cannons mounted on its arms began to slowly rotate, and the cannon mouths emitted a dangerous red light due to overheating.

The cold cannon mouth pointed straight at Lei Ou.

Lei Ou looked up at this familiar knight mecha, his eyes full of bewilderment and incomprehension.

A surge of fishy sweetness rose in his throat, and he wanted to shout, "Aiden, what are you doing?".

He wanted to ask what had happened, and wanted to know why the person he trusted most would suddenly attack him.

But he no longer had the chance.

Cannon fire sweeping across the sky had already arrived, and the Gatling Cannon's bullets poured down like a violent rain, carrying the power to tear everything apart, shooting toward Lei Ou.

"Adult, run quickly!"

Lei Ou's bodyguards reacted extremely quickly, immediately standing in front of him, raising their shields to form a temporary defensive line.

And the few armored vehicles also reacted, standing in front of Lei Ou and the Guard Team.

A burst of bullets fired by the Gatling Cannon easily scrapped the vehicle standing in front of them.

Still dozens of bullets penetrated the vehicle, bullets striking the shields.

The shields shattered, and the bodyguards were torn apart by the powerful impact, turning into minced flesh and blood mist.

But they used their lives to buy Lei Ou a few short seconds of escape time.

Lei Ou knew he had no time to hesitate, and turned around to run wildly toward the Ice Plains Deep.

The cannon fire behind him followed like a shadow, constantly exploding on the snow beside him, kicking up snowflakes and gravel all over the sky.

Aiden's knight mecha walked with steps, closely following behind him, launching an undying chase against him.

Lei Ou's heart was filled with confusion and anger; he did not know what had happened.

Was something wrong with the clan side, or what, why Aiden would suddenly betray, and what was the situation at the Forbidden Wall now.

He knew nothing at all, but he knew one thing.

Must stay alive.

Stay alive and escape, find the answers, figure out the cause of all this.

His footsteps dared not stop, even though the wounds on his body were constantly bleeding, and his stamina was constantly being overdrawn.

Because the clan was still waiting for him, Brevis still needed him, those vanguard army soldiers who trusted him and followed him were all waiting for him to go back.

So in the wind and snow of the Ice Plains, he ran desperately without stopping for a moment.
