After the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot.
The braided woman named Zora and Kane led the way for Rorschach and others.
Rorschach used gestures to make everyone more vigilant, while driving the power armor to follow them.
Soon after, the people who climbed a small hill again finally arrived at the rebel stronghold.
It is said to be a stronghold, but it is actually a cave large enough to accommodate a family dug out in a sheltered position under the hills.
Then a wooden fence made of trees was built around the outside of the cave.
The return of Zora and Kane attracted the attention of some sentry personnel.
When they saw the black metal giant following two people.
The extremely shrill warning whistle sounded above the pale sky.
Immediately afterwards, middle-aged and elderly people with shabby clothes and pale faces due to lack of nutrition ran out of the cave one after another.
There are only three to four hundred of them armed with old firearms.
But even when faced with power armor that is far beyond common sense.
They still did not hesitate to aim at the tall figures of Luo Xia and others with the broken weapons in their palms.
However, before Rorschach could say anything.
Zora, who was holding Kane, immediately ordered everyone to put away their guns.
After the other party briefly introduced the identities of Rorschach and others' allies, the expressionless middle-aged and elderly people gradually returned to the depths of the cave.
Ten minutes later, we were inside a cave belonging to Zora.
Rorschach, who slowly took off his metal helmet, stared at Zora, who was sitting opposite the burning fire and coaxing Kane to sleep, and was silent for a moment.
It wasn't until he was sure that Kane was completely asleep that he whispered in a confused tone:
"Are you the current leader of the resistance? Are those middle-aged and elderly people the resistance of La Tovilia?"
"What have you relied on to resist for so many years? According to the intelligence information on the Internet, haven't you already occupied most of the agricultural areas in the country and are planning to launch an attack on the capital city? Why is the reality different from the propaganda on the Internet?
Does it fit?"
"Yes, a month and a half ago, our team's future was indeed bright, but now, I can tell you clearly that today's resistance army no longer has any capital worthy of the covetousness of outsiders like you."
Zora, who gently stroked Kane's hair with her palms, seemed to have a sneer from the corner of her mouth.
She stared at Rorschach's inhuman blue wolf eyes and said in a low voice:
"A small operation to seize supplies and cut off the enemy's supply routes unexpectedly turned into a fatal betrayal."
"Several high-ranking rebels who have been fighting with us for some unknown reason suddenly chose to betray our leader Victor to the Harlem family."
"Victor's capture not only led to the loss of nearly half of the resistance's combat effectiveness, but the agricultural area that was already controlled was also quickly recaptured by the Harlem family, and stricter guards were implemented. We who had hurriedly retreated quickly
We were in a situation where we were running out of ammunition and food.”
"And in order to rescue the leader Victor, basically all the young combatants in the resistance army died in the battle!"
"Failed rescues again and again in a short period of time have left only those old bones in the entire resistance army who would rather starve to death than return to the rule of the Harlem family."
"So, it doesn't matter whether you are good people or bad people."
"Because, no matter where you come from, no matter what you want to do, you are still late after all."
At this moment, I listened to the slightly desperate words of Zora, the temporary leader of the resistance.
"I see...it seems that the reality is quite different from the truth I guessed before."
Rorschach, who subconsciously narrowed his eyes, suddenly whispered in his mouth:
"But do you think we're late? Why do I feel like we've just begun?"
"Really Zora? To be honest, are you people still willing to fight for La Tovilia and your homeland?"
Rorschach's words were not finished yet.
Zora took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions, and said without hesitation:
"If it weren't for saving Victor, the spiritual leader of the resistance, if it wasn't for that slim hope, we people would have chosen to die with the Harlem family's army!"
"Instead of curling up in a cave and lingering like an animal like now!"
Rorschach, whose face was illuminated by heavy firelight and flashed in and out of light, suddenly placed his palm on the metal helmet beside him.
His gaze slowly crossed the flickering fire.
Staring at Zora who had widened her eyes, she said softly:
"very good."
"What if I say that I can help you rescue the leader of the resistance? Of course, that is under the condition that the other party is still alive."
At this moment, his eyes changed several times.
Zora, who finally seemed to have made a decision, gradually became solemn.
She asked Rorschach in a solemn tone across the fire:
"So, what price will La Tovilia have to pay?"
"Loyalty! Loyalty to myself! Loyalty to humanity itself! It's that simple!"
Rorschach slowly drove the power armor and stood up.
He stepped across the burning fire, lowered his head and looked down at Zora below and said.
At this moment, Zora, whose eyes became firm, gently put down Kane, who was in a deep sleep.
She also slowly got up from the ground with her braided hair.
Without hesitation, he stretched out a palm with rough fingertips towards Rorschach.
"Although I don't believe that your conditions are really that simple, we have nothing to fear as we only have one life to live for!"
Wait until Rorschach's metal palm tightens with the opponent's hand.
Luo Xia, who vaguely remembered something, suddenly asked Zora in front of him:
"The leader of your resistance army, what is his full name?"
"Victor von Doom!"
——
Valkyrie, ten kilometers away, quickly took off.
Iron Man David will drive the transport plane to the Twin Islands base and transport enough food and other supplies back.
After both parties have reached an initial trust and agreement.
These remaining rebels, who were only the old, weak, sick and disabled, temporarily became Rorschach's men.
At this moment, Rorschach's eyes were fixed on Craig who began to use panacea capsules to treat some sick and injured patients.
And Zora was standing nearby, responsible for maintaining order in the team.
Some vague murmurs that were carried away by the wind came out of his mouth:
"I just said that La Tovilia sounds familiar... Why didn't you think of it as the hometown of Dr. Doom before?"
"But is Doom, who has not yet become the complete Doctor Doom, so weak? Or has my existence changed something?"
"If Dr. Doom exists, then his nemesis, Mr. Fantastic Reed, and the Fantastic Four also do exist, but their reputations are not yet famous?"
Rorschach, who squinted his eyes slightly, suddenly took a deep breath.
The whole person seemed to be in a state of deep thought.
"If I hadn't mastered the technology related to space navigation, and I didn't even have a complete spaceship, I would have really wanted to stay away from my home planet..."
"But since I can't walk, why not speed up the progress of the Astartes surgery? This simulation should be the turn to strengthen, right?"
"I hope the Emperor can bless everything well..."

The Marvel plot is long enough for now, it’s time to write a simulation.
