Let's go." She ordered, taking the lead as she entered the house.
"Clear. Let's head down, get to Hadir..." She said as she pointed the ladder.
"So they are over?" Otto inquired, asking for everyone's opinion.
"I think so…This is the tunnel where they started isn't it?" Ram pointed out.
"Indeed. Maybe this viewing will finally come to an end…" Rem said with a tired tone.
"I think we all had enough, yeah…" Felix said in a hushed tone, making his mistress pat his head to try and comfort him.
Subaru went first as he grabbed the ladder's handles and started to go down, looking up to Farah before she followed him.
"You lost good people today…" He said with a respectful tone.
Farah unveiled the lower part of her hajib as she crouched down in front of him.
"That is the cost of this war." She said as she closed her eyes in respect." Now, let's take Barkov's airbase so their deaths are not in vain."
"True. That was but one step of the plan." Al remembered, making everyone widen their eyes.
"Oh no…" Emilia whispered in a dread tone.
"We're in for a hell of a fight." He noticed her.
"So are they." She smirked. "Hadir has a plan."
And on these last words, the screen faded to black.
"So the next viewing will be a great battle?" Crusch wondered with a hand on her chin.
"It seems so…They made a diversion now to attack an base." Ricardo answered.
"Man this was already exhausting in his own way, we're going to see a real battle in the other viewing…" Garfiel said, his voice mixing eagerness and worry for his captain…Nah it's his captain. He'll be fine.
"What do you mean? We saw real battles…" Otto replied, remembering the other viewings.
"No." Priscilla corrected the merchant boy as she closed her fan. "What we saw was an infiltration, an ambush and a defense in civilian city. Not battles."
"What Priscilla-sama is saying is true. A battle is when two armies face each other in a territory." Wilhelm followed.
"So the resistance and Subaru…Against the Russians." Reinhard thought out loud.
"Yes, just by adding 'Subaru' to a side, you already know who will win." Petra cheerfully voiced out loud for everyone to hear.
And they all chuckled and laughed out loud to the little girl's words.
They were hard to deny, after all.
OUAH!
That was one hell of a chap wasn't it? You feel the thrill?
Because you fucking better be, I spent all nighters on that shit.
So you all need to know some things.
Re:MW will be put on hold for a little while as I need to focus on the rework of Dragon King and finally have the courage to attack Priscilla if again.
I know a lot of you like this story and eagerly awaits for the updates, but I can't only focus on this. So bear with me.
I thank you all for your support and I hope you enjoyed your read.
