Chapter 111: EX 111. CHARGE!!!
The air crackled with anticipation as Vanguard Rebecca Sky, Vanguard Raven Stone, and Supreme Heir Nikko Yakomoto stood before the entire army of soldiers, their towering presence commanding every ounce of attention in the field.
Each of them was an embodiment of power, dressed in the uniform of their ranks, a canvas of medals, badges, and the marks of countless victories and accomplishments. Their attire was a testament to their endless journey through countless trials, a history of blood spilled and battles won.
The crowd of soldiers, from the lowest Trial Cadet to the highest Combatant, gazed in awe at the three figures standing before them. They had heard of their legendary exploits, but seeing them here, in the flesh, was an entirely different experience. These were the individuals who had shaped the fate of the Federation, who had led their people to victory countless times before, and now, they would lead again.
Among them stood Leon and his squad, observing with reverence. The weight of the moment was almost too much to bear, but Leon couldn’t help but whisper to himself with a slight smirk, "They really know how to show off."
His words were quietly shared among his squad, but no one could ignore the palpable energy radiating from the three figures.
Rebecca, her aura spreading like an ethereal tide, stepped forward. It wasn’t just her presence, her aura enveloped the entire field like a heavy fog, giving the soldiers an undeniable sense of her authority. The murmuring stopped instantly as her voice rang out, powerful and unwavering.
"Soldiers of the Federation," she began, her voice calm yet filled with the weight of command, "the time of battle has arrived. But this time, we no longer fight the demons alone... but our own."
A wave of confusion and unease rippled through the ranks. Soldiers exchanged glances, muttering amongst themselves as they tried to make sense of her words. Rebecca’s eyes never left the crowd as she continued.
"We have discovered that the demons have been turning fallen soldiers into demons," she said, her voice cutting through the murmurs like a blade.
The entire field went silent for a moment, before chaos erupted.
"How could they turn our own into monsters?"
"Those lizards should be exterminated from the face of the world!"
