Bronya and Serval, walking through the Silvermane Guards' restricted area, had no idea that their actions were being shamelessly eavesdropped on by a group of people hiding in the mechanical room.
"Cocolia's power in Belobog is a bit too great."
Listening to the Silvermane Guards not stopping them at all, but instead greeting Bronya along the way, March 7th whispered.
The others also nodded. It was no wonder Cocolia could arrest them without any evidence and no one raised any objections. The Supreme Guardian's status in Belobog was too high.
The two arrived at the front line unimpeded and met Serval's younger brother, Gepard Landau, the Silvermane Guards' Captain.
"Supreme Guardian, and Sister, do you have any instructions for the front line?"
Gepard spoke to Cocolia neither subserviently nor arrogantly.
"Captain Gepard, open the gate. We need to go out."
Bronya, feigning Cocolia's authority, spoke to Gepard.
"But... didn't the Supreme Guardian say no one is allowed to leave the restricted area?"
Gepard's words startled a few people. Cocolia had indeed sealed off the restricted area in advance.
However, Bronya didn't lose her nerve and continued, "That's why I came personally. Open the gate, this is very important."
Gepard looked at Cocolia for a while, then at Serval: "I understand, Supreme Guardian."
Then he turned around and said to the other Silvermane Guards: "Open the gate!"
As Gepard spoke, the heavy iron gate quickly opened, and Cocolia and Serval stepped into the wind and snow.
"Supreme Guardian, do you need some Silvermane Guards to protect you?"
As the two stepped into the wind and snow, Gepard suddenly asked.
"No need, we'll be back soon."
Bronya answered with authority, then disappeared into the wind and snow with Serval.
"Phew... that scared me. I thought that Gepard would see through us."
March 7th patted her rather ample chest with lingering fear, and Dan Heng also nodded: "Indeed, but thankfully it's over. Once they're far enough, we can go over."
"Ah? Aren't we waiting for them to find the Stellaron before we go?"
Takatsuki looked at March 7th speechlessly: "There should be quite a few monsters along the way. Are you just going to let the two of them fight?"
"Hehehe, I forgot."
March 7th stuck out her tongue and acted cute.
After the two were far from the Belobog front line, Takatsuki widened the passage, letting the others go through first.
"You're finally here. I was wondering how to notify you."
Serval, seeing the group walk over, curiously approached the passage: "How is this thing constructed?"
Although she hadn't been a researcher for a long time, Serval still had great curiosity about such things.
"I don't know either, I just know how to use it."
As Takatsuki walked over, the passage completely closed. March 7th excitedly said to Bronya: "We heard your performance just now, it was amazing."
"Ah... you all heard it..."
Bronya said a little shyly, then deactivated her transformation and returned the Gaia Foundation to Takatsuki.
"Because we had to confirm how your plan was going and if you would encounter any danger."
While saying such high-sounding words, he took back the Gaia Foundation, making the people next to him look at Takatsuki speechlessly.
However, Takatsuki still ignored everyone's gaze and said, "But we need to deal with the little tail behind us."
"Little tail?"
Everyone looked back and indeed saw Gepard approaching with four or five Silvermane Guards' personal guards.
"As expected, the Supreme Guardian just now was fake. But Commander Bronya, why are you with these wanted criminals?"
Gepard looked at the three members of the Express.
"No, little brother, how did you find out we were fake? I didn't even see any flaws in Bronya."
Serval spoke from the side, clearly trying to buy time, but Gepard's single sentence instantly silenced her.
"Commander Bronya's imitation was flawless, but big sister, your little habits when you lie still haven't changed."
"Huh..."
Everyone immediately looked at Serval, who then laughed awkwardly: "I didn't expect my little brother to know me so well. As an older sister, I'm very happy."
"Alright, Captain Gepard, since you've followed us, I won't hide it anymore."
Seeing Serval play dumb, Bronya knew she couldn't rely on her. She walked to the middle of the two groups and said to Gepard.
"The current Supreme Guardian has been controlled by the Stellaron. Some time ago, I went to the Underworld and saw the truth about the Stellaron hidden there. The source of this cold wave is the Stellaron, and the Supreme Guardian has been controlled by the Stellaron's power. Gepard, you should also be able to feel it, the Supreme Guardian's change."
Gepard looked at Bronya and didn't speak. After a long pause, he said: "This is just your side of the story. Why don't we go confront the Supreme Guardian together?"
"Hmph! Why are you so stubborn! If Cocolia finds out, won't she know about our plan to secretly seal the Stellaron and solve the cold wave?"
March 7th put her hands on her hips unhappily: "In the end, we still have to fight!"
"Wait, March."
Takatsuki blocked March 7th and took a few steps forward: "Gepard Landau, right?"
"Who are you?"
"Me? You can just consider me a resident of the Underworld. Everyone here came up from the Underworld. I heard Bronya say that your Landau family has been elite City builderss for generations, bearing the glory of preserving the people of Belobog, not guarding the Supreme Guardian. Am I right?"
Gepard nodded at Takatsuki's words.
"Then look at the people behind you. Although they are also Silvermane Guards who preserve Belobog, they are also people of Belobog. Over the years, Cocolia's actions have been seen more clearly by these people. They more or less have friends and relatives in the Underworld, right? Why don't you ask them what they think?"
Gepard looked back at the Silvermane Guards who had followed him. He hadn't noticed that these soldiers were whispering. Hearing Takatsuki's words and Gepard turning around, they immediately stopped their small movements.
But soon, a Silvermane Guard bravely spoke up: "Captain Gepard, what that person said... I think it's very true. After all, because of the Supreme Guardian's orders, many brothers have been left on the front line forever. Perhaps..."
"Impudent!"
Gepard loudly interrupted the soldier, then looked at Takatsuki: "I will judge what you want to say, but if I just let you leave..."
He slammed his shield heavily on the ground, splashing many snowflakes.
"That's impossible."
Takatsuki smiled at the loophole in Gepard's words: "Of course. If you want to preserve the people of Belobog, then come with us and see what the Stellaron really is. You can decide for yourselves whether you need to be an enemy of the Stellaron."
