Chapter 30
The World Federation against the Northern Alliance.
It is unknown what is the cause of the war. However, one thing is for sure. The World Federation and the Northern Alliance will fight with all they got to win this war.
The World Federation and the Northern Alliance had a decent territory. It is wide and has a decent income. They occupy the biggest land mass in the world.
Both the federation and the alliance are decent. However, they are not the best.
There are four colossi in this world. The World Federation, the Northern Alliance, the Desolate Land, and the Pearl Empire.
The World Federation and the Northern Alliance are neither good nor bad. However, the Desolate Land is definitely the worst while the Pearl Empire is the best.
No matter what the desolate land does, they could not compete for resources. And on the contrary, the Pearl Empire did not need to do anything.
All the good things will pour on their lap even without doing a thing.
Then, as of the World Federation and the Northern Alliance, they have to constantly fight with each other to expand their territory for a bit and to gain more.
It is not sure if the cause of this war is the expansion of their territory or not. But one thing is for sure, perhaps the reason did not have too much deviation from territorial expansion.
It has always been like this. However, most of the fights are only preparation for the bigger one.
And the big one is like the one that they have today.
Meanwhile, the fight had officially begun.
The battlefield is already churning with different kinds of explosions.
Some are because of the explosions from the long-ranged artilleries, then there are also those that were caused by the explosion of the destroyed planes. However, most of all are due to the weapons of the combatants from both sides.
Meanwhile, all of those… the platoon 33A8 did not care about them.
"Argh… this is the last, right?"
X Grizzly could not help but groan.
"This is the last, Grizzly," Nate, the platoon leader replied.
There are seven cities in Region 492A and there are thirty-five soldiers in platoon 33A8. And thirty-five divided by seven is five.
With that, platoon 33A8 is grouped into seven.
Each group has five members. Then, each of those groups is to go to a different city and look for some things to report.
Mar, Nate, X Grizzly, Grey, and one other soldier named Ronar.
The five of them are to patrol the farthest city, the Fire Tooth City.
They have stayed there for three days and patrolled a third of the city already. But on the fourth day, in the middle of their patrolling, their vehicle broke.
At the expense of the World Federation, they are allowed to rent seven cars for a week.
This is requested by Nate and was approved by the federation. However, this made Nate and the others unable to slack.
The federation allowing them to rent a car at the expense of the federation only means one thing.
It's not that they are valued by the federation. But rather, the federation considers their mission important.
"Yes, that's the last block. There should be a shop there."
Nate, Grizzly, Grey, and Ronar pushed their vehicle for three blocks while Mar, the cook, is the one driving their vehicle.
The one that should be driving is Grizzly. However, the boyish Mar had decided that she is a woman for this moment.
"What are you all doing? This woman is getting impatient."
Of course, while saying that, Mar did not forget to emphasize the word woman.
"Woman my ass, you're manlier than me. Get off there and push the car," Grizzly was irritated.
However, he is also helpless because he is indeed a man.
If Mar really did get off the vehicle and pushed with them, he would not be able to boast the thing on his crotch.
"Ha ha ha, man, are you jealous of the privileges of a woman? I suggest you cut that thing on your crotch."
With that, Grizzly is momentarily lost for words. But in the next second, Grizzly found the right words to say.
"Why do you want me to cut it. Are you going to play with it?"
Bullseye. But Mar is an expert with words.
"Play? With that small thing?"
"Small thing?"
"Hmmph…"
"Hmmph…"
"HAHAHAHA!"
The other three tried to hold their laugh. But to no good, they could not hold it.
"Come on, you two. Enough of that. We are here."
It did not take long for them to reach the shop.
"Hmmm, this woman is feeling good."
Mar said while walking like a beauty queen on the ramp stage.
However, none among the four boys thinks that she is a beauty queen. But despite that, nobody retorted to her since she had decided to go inside the shop and call for help.
Meanwhile, as Mar entered the shop, she only has one word for compliment.
"Gorgeous."
"The curves. The edges. The design. Whoever made it is surely a genius."
Mar fell in love for the first time.
"You like my shop?" A middle-aged man asked. He is doing chores in the shop.
He is cleaning the work desk and the tools on it.
When he heard Mar's compliment, he stopped what he is doing and looked at Mar.
"Dream on, old man… Anyway, our vehicle is broken. Can you fix it?"
Meanwhile, the old man coughed as he heard Mar say dream on.
"Old man. You have heard those compliments many times. You know they are not for you. They are for me. You must accept that. Otherwise, it will keep hurting."
Smith, the thick-faced robot said.
That's right, Smith's title is changed from the 'good malware' to the 'thick-faced'.
However, despite that, the middle-aged man could not deny that Smith indeed had an exquisite design.
"We'll see what we can do."
Meanwhile, to divert that shame brought by Smith, he answered Mar.
"Meta, look at the car," the old man continued while looking at Smith.
Indeed, Smith had decided to use the name Meta.
Well, he thought that he could easily be found if he used the name Smith. Hence, he had decided to use Meta, instead.
"Got it… miss, where is your vehicle?"
Smith asked.
"Hmmm…" Mar could not help but smile as she heard Smith call her miss.
"Right this way."
Just as they arrive, Smith immediately scanned their car and did his work.
During the whole time, X Grizzly and the others only had one thing in mind. "Oddity."
That's right. It is not hard for them to see that the shop could not afford to buy a robot-like Smith.
Smith's design is truly out of ordinary while the shop could be considered ordinary.
In fact, Smith is the only eye-catching in the shop.
Of course, X Grizzly and the others did not need to say that out loud. But among them, no one could say that they will not report this, Mar included.
"Done."
It did not take long for Smith to finish.
"Okay, how much would that cost?"
Mar is the one who answered because the others are still busy thinking about how to report Smith.
"One Energy Unit," Smith answered.
"Only one Energy Unit? But your job is almost perfect."
Seeing at Smith's finished work, the four boys would like to say the same word, "Oddity."
"No, no, I did not do much." Smith scratched the back of his head. And if he could blush, he might have blushed long ago with Mar's compliment.
"Okay, here." Mar reached out for Smith's hand and passed the Energy Units which the latter immediately accepted.
Smith did not need an energy capsule since he can innately store Energy Units. He can absorb them for him to use later. And… that is what he is doing right now.
"Five Energy Units? Ma'am, that's too much. I will give the four Energy Units back."
Smith tried to give back the four Energy Units, but Mar had already cut off the connection between the energy capsule and Smith.
"Ma'am, I should really give it back… but if you insist, I…"
"Just accept it. They're not given for free. I and my crew want to talk to you."
"When did we want to talk with the robot?" Nate asked inwardly. But at the same time, he also raised his thumbs up inwardly. "Good job, Mar. You really are the woman. Secretly, but openly detaining the target.
"Talk to me? Why?"
Smith is feeling troubled. "Fuck, I managed to evade the federation, but who knows that the military would come to my workplace."
"Fuck, I even choose the most ordinary shop I could find. But…" Smith could not help but lament inwardly.
"Nothing much, we are interested in you."
"In me? Am I that handsome?" Smith acted coolly, but deep inside he could not help but cuss. "Interested my ass."
The same for the four boys. "Interested?"
They thought Mar is up to something good. But it seemed that it is because she is interested.
X Grizzly and the others only had one thought, "Why choose a robot if there are many d**ks in the platoon."
Mar would have given them an answer, if only they had said it out loud.
But... they dare not.
