Chapter 222 - 8.29
A week after that incident, Altair and General Vega had been fully recovered from their wounds. They were now preparing for the war by tuning their mechs. Altair was fixing some part of his SSS Boxer, and General Vega replaced the machine gun on his Man Drill mech with saw blade again.
They knew the war was near, though it was inevitable because they decided to defect from the Kingdom and started a new kingdom with Sweren as its main capital. Altair and General Vega had been preparing everything since the first day after that incident anyway.
General Vega Satellarnus’ soldiers were loyal to the General, whom they witnessed had fought valiantly against the Zergs for years. Sometimes, the nobles and royal family would like to sabotage the General by sending him lesser supply. This happened because they wanted to take some for themselves like the corrupt officials always did.
But General Vega stayed loyal with the Kingdom, and perhaps, this was the end of his patience. Especially when this was about his fated pair, Altair Roderick.
"How about the General Lieutenants?" Altair asked while fixing his SSS Boxer’s arms.
"Two left us and joined side with the royal family, four stayed, and of course, some old generals also secretly support us because they have been fed up with royal family’s overcontrolling nature and their scepticism with Prince Rigel," General Vega replied.
"I see..." Altair, who was done fixing his mech and jumped. He landed in front of General Vega and smiled, "I’m glad that we have many people siding with us. At least, our chance of winning is higher."
General Vega scoffed, "Altair, are you scared?"
Being looked down on by his omega, Altair reacted strongly, "Scared? Who is scared?! I will take them all down if it’s needed! You don’t need to move an inch! I will kill them all before they can even reach you!"
General Vega chuckled at Altair’s overreaction. His stubbornness and pride were still there, "We will be fine. I love you. You love me. We are a happy family..."
