They might not understand much, but seeing Mr. Gu's state, they could also guess that the situation of the esteemed Governor was probably not very good.
Therefore, the loyal soldiers spontaneously started to protect Mr. Gu. Around him, they left an approximately fifty-meter-wide clearing, forbidding anyone to approach, including themselves.
When the Phoenix Battle Group and the sisters of the Sainte-Lys Nun Association arrived, the outer ring of soldiers still hesitated, but that's when a political officer stepped forward.
He looked like a company-level political instructor, holding the rank of a lieutenant, not really a high-ranking official.
Clearly nervous, he stood in front of the Phoenix and the Battle Nuns.
Yet, he bravely did so.
"Please halt, Governor..."
Before he could finish, Georgette's voice burst forth from her helmet: "Step aside!"
She didn't even stop her footsteps, intending to bypass this mortal soldier.
She was anxious.
