"Commander, the Alpha Squad is here!"
A deep voice echoed through the area as a burly man strode into view, each step heavy with authority.
His eyes swept the battlefield, locking onto a familiar face.
"Milson," he called out, his voice low but unmistakable.
Milson looked up, meeting his gaze directly.
"…Uncle Roger."
Roger's eyes narrowed as he shifted his attention to the man standing beside Milson, Ace, who was casually complimenting a little girl, completely unbothered by the surrounding chaos.
Roger squinted, studying him carefully, then his eyes widened in recognition. A hint of disbelief flashed across his face.
He turned to the Sigma Squad commander. Their eyes met.
The commander gave a grim nod.
Roger took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and shouted:
"Everyone, into formation! For the Kingdom! Charge!"
Liu Mei took the dagger back from Ace's hand, her fingers brushing his with an unusual softness. Then, without a word, she stepped forward.
