Half an hour later.

In the unfinished frontline base...

"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!"

"Ri~咻!"

You can clearly hear the sound of lasers, Gauss guns and large-caliber fixed cannons resounding in the channel, mixed with the sound of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) grenades detonating.

"Dang! Dang!"

Of course, it was also mixed with faint bursts of explosive arrows.

This indicates that the previous rescue mission performed by Valen made the machine aware of Umbrella.

However, what the machine couldn't figure out was how Umbrella appeared "out of thin air", so sentries were sent to continuously come to investigate and harass.

However, looking at the engineering team who were busy with the construction, they did not panic at all due to the fierce battle, and still completed the progress in an orderly manner.

This shows that the engineers who were sitting in the cockpit, controlling the SCV, holding cigarettes in their mouths, and wearing peaked caps at an angle, did not worry at all about the possibility of losing their position.

At the same time, more "soldiers" arrived here through the elevator, and rushed to various positions in the channel in units of combat platoons or companies.

Especially the "t" position on the north side.

Taking a closer look at these soldiers, they are well-equipped, and some are heavily armed with CMC power armor with a height of two meters and small missiles and grenade launchers.

The main body is painted in white, and the shoulder armor is gray and blue, so the identity of the soldier can be revealed, the Auxiliary Army of the Wrecker Corps.

Coming here via the elevator were a thousand official members of the Wrecker Corps.

As the absolute main force of the legion, the Astartes who are accustomed to fighting in squads are not as "crude" in terms of clothing as the reserves. They have all installed the standard Mjolnir Mark V.

A few platoon commanders and company commanders are equipped with Mjolnir Mark VI.

There are auxiliary troops, rare obstacle clearers, and light and medium armored units transported here, making the frontline base extremely impregnable.

And located near the space gate, there is a large facility built the earliest with a total of four floors.

On its third floor, there is a large conference room...

"These...these are so delicious...Captain!" Mark's loud sigh echoed.

But this sigh always makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if their mouth is full of food that has not been chewed.

I saw the burly captain, Mark and twelve other locals sitting on both sides of the U-shaped conference table, enjoying the staff meal provided by Umbrella.

At this moment, they put on brand new, well-fitting white clothes.

It seems that due to the "bathing" and "cleansing" procedures performed by the technicians, the faces, skin and hair of this group of locals are much refreshed and no longer dirty and messy.

As for the simple staff meal, the reason why Mark is extremely excited is because the meal includes soda drinks, fresh fruits and various meats.

If you look closely at the back of Mark's head, you can see that there is no slot device like the strong captain. Many people who also don't have slots on the back of their heads are no less excited than Mark.

After all, they have not seen the sun since they were born, and they eat "porridge" rich in protein, D, B12 and other vitamins. Even bread is a "precious product."

Even food that people in the main universe take for granted and think is extremely ordinary is a luxury that Mark and the others have dreamed of for a long time.

On the other hand, the captain, a strong man with a Russian accent, had a frown on his face and a solemn expression, which made his beard look slightly "exploded".

Then, the strong man pushed the plate full of food aside and responded to Mark's emotion: "Eat more if it tastes good."

"yes…!"

Mark gave the strong man a standard military salute.

"Hahaha~!"

This funny behavior immediately aroused laughter from the companions.

As the only underage crew member, Zhuang Man and other crew members took great care of Mark. Moreover, he was able to have a good meal after the disaster, making the atmosphere gradually relaxed and light.

Slowly.

"Captain, you know the best..." A bald crew member turned to look at the strong man sitting across from the U-shaped conference table and said with great curiosity:

"Are those guys outside other rebels besides Eden?"

"Impossible, Eden is the only one left on earth." Another short-haired woman shook her head in denial.

"Let's not talk about where they come from..." At this time, the strong man explained his point of view:

"At present, they also regard machines as enemies. Indeed, logically, there should be no other resistance forces on earth except Eden.

But one thing I know is that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and more importantly, you have all seen the machine's upcoming attack. The scale has already exceeded expectations, so we need to...

No, it should be a desire for strong allies to prevent the fall of Eden."

"The captain is right." Mark, after finishing the meal for two, nodded in agreement: "If it weren't for those giants, we would have died long ago."

With a sound of "Wha-!", the automatic door of the conference room opened, causing the discussion to come to an abrupt end.

Everyone turned their attention to the entrance.

!!!

This sight made everyone stunned.

Even the strong captain, who took life and death lightly and was calm throughout the whole process, showed an expression of extreme shock.

I saw Angron, who was wearing a black uniform with a white and gray-blue ribbon hanging on his right shoulder, and red and white umbrella buttons on his collar and cuffs. He bent slightly and lowered his head, and passed through the door that was a bit short for the original body.

Walk to this conference room.

And with a kind smile on his face, he said: "I am very happy to entertain you. I wonder if the meal is still to your liking?"

"It... fits..." Mark, whose mind was blank, replied involuntarily.

The visual shock they experienced from Warren and the reserves has not dissipated. Now they see a giant over four meters tall, which puts Mark and others in a certain degree of "downtime" state.

"That's good." Angron, who could sense the emotion, still smiled, then walked to the front of the U-shaped conference table and continued:

"I am Angron, the Eighth Legion of Umbrella, the original body of the Wrecker Legion. Next, I will discuss some matters with you on behalf of Umbrella and on behalf of my father."

Primarch?

Legion?

Father?

Umbrella?

Everyone who had regained consciousness was even more confused.

While Angron was talking, several civilian soldiers belonging to the Wrecker Corps also arrived in the conference room, helping to clear away the empty dinner plates and water glasses, and brought a chair of suitable size and placed them there.

to the front of the conference table.

The purpose of bringing the seats is that Angron does not want these locals to keep their heads raised all the time, and to avoid the impact of height as much as possible.

Finished.

The original body sat down, glanced left and right, and asked: "I wonder who is the supreme commander here?"

"I." The strong man who had put away his shock and regained his composure said: "Victor Viktor Viknovovich Poliyev, with the rank of major, is the captain of the Abraham that has crashed, and at the beginning

Before the discussion, I have a few questions that I hope can be clarified."

"Of course, please tell me, Major." Angron accepted readily.

"Very well. With all due respect, are you and the soldiers who are over two and a half meters tall human beings... or other beings? What is the purpose of your coming here?"

The strong man captain named Victor said one after another.

Before Angron appeared, when a group of crew members were discussing with each other, or when they were cooperating with technicians to conduct inspections, Victor had already begun to consider the possibility that Umbrella did not belong to this world.

Yes, experiencing captivity, despair and struggle has made a captain who has experienced many battles easy to relate to and even accept the truth of "other worlds".

Therefore, he did not ask Angron "where are you from", but "the purpose of coming".

heard asking.

"Humanity."

Angron replied without any hesitation: "We are human beings, it's just that we are a little different from ordinary people, but more information is confidential, so with all due respect, you have no right to know.

And the purpose of coming here?

There are many factors involved, but the most crucial one is that we know that machines are killing and keeping our fellow humans in captivity, and that alone is reason enough for us to intervene."

Humanity…

As for Angron's self-reported identity, the crew of the Abraham can reluctantly accept it. It should be no big deal as long as Angron and the Astartes are "one" higher.

only…

Where did Umbrella come from?

And who is the father who can raise giant children? Is he a six-meter-tall giant?

Even though Victor didn't care, Mark and other crew members were even more curious.

Angron, who sensed this emotion, did not deliberately explain anything. Then, he looked at Victor and asked with a smile:
To be continued...
