"Clean it up."

The short man who took the lead before gave the order casually.

Then he walked towards Gaius, who was receiving simple treatment from Hinata Naomi.

Yes.

The fourth member of this Kirigakure team is a female ninja who is from the Hyuga clan and is an elite genin.

There is no way, the Kai Ninja Village is really short of people now, and the Kirigakure troops do not have high requirements for combat effectiveness.

"Damn it!"

When the awakened man saw this, he immediately fled towards the north.

His speed is very fast, but Hanai Fumio and Tsuruta Daisuke's teleportation techniques are also not slow.

In the blink of an eye, it blocked its front and back.

The Awakened One looked at Hanai Fumio who was blocking the way and was completely anxious and wanted to fight with him.

But Hanai Fumio was not interested in fighting it, so he immediately threw out the kunai he had prepared.

The awakened person felt relieved when he saw that Ku Wushang had neither wind blade nor lightning, and was about to fly it away.

But when I got closer, I saw a piece of paper stuck on it that suddenly started to burn.

"Um?!"

The awakened person suddenly felt something bad, but was still overwhelmed by the instant explosion of fire.

【boom------】

A deafening roar sounded, attracting Gaius's shocked gaze.

But the sound coming from in front of him forced him to look away again.

"I didn't expect you to rush up and commit suicide. It really shocked me. Why didn't you run away?"

Gaius did not look down upon the other party because of his short stature. He spoke seriously and raised his head to answer the other party's question.

"Because I am a general, if I must die, I hope to die together with the soldiers, and"

"And what?"

"I can't save Rome, so I don't need to continue living."

As soon as Gaius said these words, the man seemed to be touched and fell silent.

He didn't speak again until the noise of the fighting gradually subsided.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Gouju Yagura. I am the captain of this team. I have been ordered to protect your safety until everything here settles."

"Uh hello, my name is Gaius Constantius"

General Gaius let Hinata Naomi put a bandage on his chest to stop the bleeding, while he looked at Gotachibana Yagura in confusion.

"Who are you, why do you want to protect me, and why is everything here over?"

Goji Yagura shook his head: "Let's find a safe place to talk about the details. You just need to know that we have no malicious intentions."

At this time, there were footsteps behind him and the emotional words of Daisuke Tsuruta.

"Captain, the frontal combat effectiveness of these awakened beings is indeed very strong. If the two of them hadn't joined forces, they wouldn't have been able to deal with them in a short time, let alone prevent them from leaving!"

Goji Yagura nodded after hearing this.

But before he could speak, General Gaius' slightly hoarse voice sounded again.

"So you have been watching here for a long time, so why didn't you take action earlier, so that you could at least save some people?"

Goji Yagura looked over and found that the other party had tears streaming down his face, and he was looking blankly at the corpses on the ground.

"Our mission is to protect you, not others."

After finishing speaking, Goju Yagura looked at Hinata Naomi: "What's wrong?"

Hinata Naomi replied: "The Purple Butterfly First Aid Pill has taken effect in his body, there is nothing serious."

"Okay, let's go!"

General Gaius was in a very low mood, but he did not show any pretense at this time, and stood up with Hinata Naomi's support.

At this time, he grabbed Goji Yagura's arm, and the latter looked at him in confusion.

Gaius asked in a low voice: "You can bring light to this country, right?"

Witnessing the killing of the Awakened Ones by Goju Yagura and others made him feel hope inexplicably.

"No, it's not us." Goji Yagura replied calmly.

This dimmed the light that had just lit up in Gaius's eyes.

Then I heard Goju Yagura speak again.

"It is the world government that will give you light in this world.

"Just as it once helped free our world...from endless cannibalism."

"World government?!"

General Gaius raised his eyes sharply.

Ignoring the tears on my face, I looked up at the white flowers, bursts of golden light, and the unusually bright moon tonight in the night sky.

"This is it"

"That's right, the world government is coming."

Goji Yagura said no more, and took Gaius, who was in a trance, into the earth and disappeared without a trace.

Only the cool night breeze blew over the face of a soldier who could not rest in peace.

It seemed to whisper in their ears

Your general is safe, you protected him well, rest in peace.

at the same time.

More awakened ones rushed out from all corners of the city of Rome and besieged the Kabaneri troops and the Unsullied Titan warriors.

This caused the latter to also begin to suffer a large number of casualties.

Especially the Kabaneri soldiers who had exhausted their ammunition belts could only draw out the swords behind their backs and fight with them in close combat.

But in terms of individual strength, they are much weaker than the Awakened ones.

He may not even be able to beat the female warriors ranked in the single digits of the Great Sword Organization.

But no one shrinks from the battle because of this. People follow the sword and the sword follows the person.

Everyone is trying their best to use the breathing sword form that they have practiced hard every day to fight against the awakened ones!

"It's almost time, it's time for us to take action."

An-225 transport aircraft hovering in the sky.

Steve Gus stood in the much emptier cabin and said in a deep voice to the twenty-eight people in front of him.

now.

Including his wife putting out the fire.

All Kabaneri Force soldiers and Eldian Force soldiers.

It has completed the airborne mission and entered the frontline battle on the ground.

Vergo looked calm: "Okay."

Yami Tsukahara smiled: "It's been a long wait."

The response from the two left Steve Gus no longer in doubt.

Among this group of people, only these two deserved his special respect, one because of their status and the other because of their strength.

He immediately turned around and walked towards the open stern of the cabin, letting the strong wind blow against his face, blowing the justice coat that he was proud of.

"It's finally starting!"

Miliya, who was following the team at the end, looked at each other with Galadia and the others.

I can see that Tabatha, Cynthia, and Yuma are a little nervous.

It's not that I'm afraid of the battle I'm about to face, but because of the parachute bag I'm carrying behind me.

Although they have received temporary professional teaching, they have not been given time to experiment.

So this was their first time skydiving, and it was a thousand-meter-level difficulty.

But now that things have come to this, we can only bite the bullet and jump!

It didn't take long.

The An-225 transport aircraft followed the instructions and flew over the Palatine Mountains where the Roman Imperial Palace Complex is located, and controlled the altitude and flight speed to conditions suitable for parachuting.
