Calm down! Say it again slowly.

B- but... all of them... they're all dead!

What's happening? What happened? I can't see! I can't see anything!

Gah!

Say again!

......

Report!

Who's there?!

...that smell. Don't panic! Everyone's still here!

Listen up!

Aaah! It's red! I saw it! I saw the red!

Calm him down!

I... I want to go home... I want to go back to Ursus...

There's ghosts here! And monsters! I saw the shadows... of two women!

Aaaaaagh! I want to go home!

We shouldn't have come, Crownslayer!

Do you copy? Answer me!

The layout of these slums is confusing, but don't let the enemy confuse you. We are perfectly safe!

(How is our position still exposed with all the fog?)

There remains the traitor's position. I am aware.

She is in Lungmen. Kill her. Make a name for yourself that your enemies should fear.

......!

After you've killed your rival, then what? Don't forget your true enemy.

——Who?!

Bring her to me!

Sorry, Swire, bring you who?

Bring her to me!!!

Erm?

(Who is she talking about?)

(I don't know, maybe...)

That pink-haired sewer scum! Dial 100800-00200-rct211-93001! That's her number!

(How did she memorize a number that long?)

(That number is familiar... Is it that one lady...?)

What are you two whispering about?!

Hello.

What are you up to, you filthy rat?! What have you done?!

And why do you suspect me?

I'm glad it wasn't you. Phew. You had me worried there...

......

......

Suspect you of what?

If you're talking about the special forces, that was me.

......

Lin Yühsia, I think I misheard something. I misheard you, didn't I?

The L. G. D. has its business, and we have ours.

Wei Yenwu has you to keep order in Lungmen, and we are here to remove that which Lungmen does not need.

You know what this team did in the slums?

They helped you deal with Reunion quite efficiently.

That buffer zone was your father's blood, sweat, and tears!

It's all thanks to him and his work in the slums that Lungmen is what it is today!

Do you know their objective?

You've made it very clear. The slums are full of places for Reunion to hide, not to mention their invasion route. You'd level them!

Isn't that right?

We're working with Rhodes Island now. Reunion is no match for us! You don't have to do this!

Jumping to conclusions before I even have a chance to explain...

While Reunion is certainly no match for us, they're still not a problem for civilian forces to solve.

We must use the true power of our city to eradicate this threat. This is how I face the invaders.

Why can't you put your faith in Rhodes Island and our own L. G. D.?

Why should we trust Rhodes Island? And why dirty the hands of the L. G. D.?

What do you mean dirty...?

Don't tell me you had no other choice. That's your father's land.

It takes so much more to build than to destroy!

Breaking a pane of glass takes one person one second... Do you know how long it takes to make one? How many people are involved?

Swire.

Hm?

Do you know what it is the people fear? Do you know what it is that scares the chambers of commerce?

What's wrong with you? Aren't we facing off against Reunion?

You really don't understand at all.

Fine. Filthy rat... I don't understand. Might I humble myself and request that you grace me with an explanation?

The Infected... are growing in number. The people fear the Infected, and they don't care if they're Reunion or not.

In short, don't go looking in the sewers.

Huh?

Hello? Are you there?! Stinking, shit-eating rat!!

You dare hang up on me! Sei puk gaai syu ah! How dare you hang up on me?!!

What do you mean? That's impossible.

Your herd is shrinking.

The initial attack was ferocious and terrifying, but... We're not really sure why, but our scouts report their numbers aren't growing.

Unfortunately, the group that suffered the most from this tactic was the Reunion squad that sustained the initial attack.

Who? Who did this? The L. G. D.? The L. G. D. could never suppress my herd!

But our people...

I took the L. G. D.'s tactics and equipment into consideration. Facing my herd should have delayed them at least two days. So who is it that's done this?!

People in black raincoats.

Captain!

Faust!

Crossbowmen, reform the squad! Mine and a few other teams have scooped up a lot of Mephisto's people.

...Why?

Together, we can hold back the L. G. D.

Faust, Faust... are you hurt?

(Why did you leave back there?)

...Because I had to.

And I'm glad to see how many of our people you've brought back with you. You'll put them to good use against the L. G. D. I'm sure?

They won't attack us, but I can't control them. I've been wracking my brain over it.

There aren't many left though.

We will need more of our people to protect us. We must defeat those L. G. D.s if we're going to escape.

Hm...

Mephisto, don't use those Arts again.

But didn't you say we have to survive, Faust? Isn't that what's most important?

...Then why did you...?

......

Why did you say you would die for that monster, back at the L. G. D. Headquarters?

Crossbowmen.

Ready.

Take him.
