"Do you remember the day we became soldiers?" Fatty's voice was unusually serious.
Every warrior paused for a moment, but their inherent soldier nature prompted them to answer in unison: "Remember!"
"Good!" Fatty nodded, gazing at the sky, and spoke as if to himself: "I remember too! From that day on, we became new people. We were required to swear loyalty to our country and our people! We were asked to follow orders and adhere to discipline! We were trained, crawling and rolling in mud, running while loudly singing military songs in the cold mornings, engaging in hand-to-hand combat under the scorching sun on the training ground, learning to pilot Mecha, learning to kill. We fought against every instructor who mocked us, until we transformed ourselves into true soldiers of the Leray Federation!"
The entire squad was silent as every soldier stood straight beside their Mecha, like a row of steadfast pine trees. Only Tian Xingjian's voice echoed through this steel jungle.
