The city lord's face turned ashen as he looked at the servants lying on the ground.

"Jessica, I'm warning you one last time: if you dare leave this house, don't ever come back!"

"..."

Jessica remained silent in response to the city lord's warning.

"I'm sorry, Father. I have always followed your arrangements, but this time, I ask that you respect my choice."

"you you......"

Upon hearing Jessica's words, the city lord trembled with anger.

"Abigail, let's go."

Jessica then turned and walked towards the door.

"Goodbye, uncle."

Abigail smiled at the city lord, waved her hand, and then followed Jessica.

"Lord, in that case, we should head back now."

Seeing that Abigail had left, Lionel stood up and spoke to the city lord.

"Commander, please wait, I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"I hope you can take good care of Jessica and make sure she doesn't go to the front lines of the war. If possible, it would be best to arrange for her to work in the logistics department. I will reward you handsomely."

"Well, we'll see. I'll try my best."

Lionel nodded, then left with his group.

"Brother, don't worry. Although this is just a comforting thought, you can rest assured that Miss Jessica has Miss Abigail taking care of her."

"How can I not worry about that? What would you think if your Buddy started making a fuss about joining the army?"

"I'll break his legs!"

"Achoo."

Just then, outside the house, Buddy suddenly sneezed.

"Are you alright?" Abigail asked Buddy from the side.

“It’s alright. Miss Abigail, let me go with you.”

"what?"

“Buddy, this is no small matter. Aren’t you going to talk to Uncle Ultra about it? Uncle Ultra is inside right now.”

Buddy shook his head.

"If I were to talk to my father, he definitely wouldn't agree. I've already left a letter at home, and I'll contact him again after I get to the army."

"Are you really sure, Buddy?"

"Ah."

"Alright, I'll say it. Commander over there, you don't mind if I bring another person, right?"

"No, it doesn't matter whether you bring one or two."

"Alright, let's decide on that then."

At this time, Otto was unaware that his son had also been kidnapped by Abigail.

He spent the entire morning with the city lord. The two were good friends, and after a morning of counseling, the city lord seemed to have come to his senses.

However, when he returned home in the afternoon, he finally understood what the city lord had been feeling earlier.

"Buddy! You little brat! Are you fucking looking to die? You're driving me crazy!"

However, it was too late. The Third Mech Regiment had already left after resupplying in the morning and no one knew where they were now. Even if they wanted to catch up, it was impossible.

"I hope Miss Abigail will remember how well I've taken care of Buddy these past two days and take good care of him."

Since there was no way to stop it, Ultraman could only pray. Perhaps the only good news was that she had gone with Abigail. Ultraman was well aware of Abigail's abilities, and if Abigail took care of her, Buddy's chances of survival were still very high.

In the evening, the Third Mech Regiment arrived at a desolate valley. They then rested there temporarily.

“Abigail, the arrangements have been made. As per your previous request, the three of us—you, Buddy, and I—have been assigned to a special operations team, reporting directly to the commander. You will be in charge of operating the mechs, and we will handle your logistics.”

"Oh, I see. So, where are we going now?"

"We're currently heading to the industrial city of Leopold, where we'll replenish the mechs lost in the previous battles and receive the latest mechs from the Empire. They say these newest mechs can even fly. I really want to be able to pilot one of those, but alas..."

Jessica said with some regret that although she had indeed come to the army with Abigail, the main target was actually Abigail. She was just an afterthought; how could they entrust such an important thing as a mecha to her to operate unless she could demonstrate sufficient talent?

"It's not a difficult thing. When the mechs come down, you can play with them however you want."

"Is this really okay?"

"What's wrong with you? It's my thing, and I get to decide what's mine."

That's wonderful.

Just then, Buddy walked over carrying several boxed meals.

"Abigail, Jessica, dinner's ready."

"Oh, it's time to eat. I'm starving."

Abigail then took a box of food from Buddy and began to enjoy it.

On the other side, after Jessica took Buddy's lunchbox, she sat down to the side and asked Buddy:

“Buddy, what is it that you want to join the army? Your personality is simply not suited for the military.”

“Jessica, I also have things I want to stick to. So please don’t ask.”

"Okay. Then I won't ask."

Just then, Abigail suddenly stood up with a displeased look on her face.

"This stuff is awful. Is army food always this bad?... Oh right, I remember there are those big birds around here, aren't they? They're pretty good. You guys wait here while I go get one."

With that, Abigail turned and left.

Chapter 194 Yet Another Bizarre Move

To be honest, Abigail had quite a few ways to deal with the Sako Fierce Bird, but since she was currently in the military, any inhuman actions she took would inevitably attract attention. So, to minimize such attention, she approached the Second Squad.

"Oh, you're eating."

At that moment, in the open space where the second squad was staying, the squad leader and his team members were eating and chatting when Abigail's voice suddenly appeared behind them.

"You must be Miss Abigail."

At this moment, the captain was still wrapped in bandages, but it seemed that it no longer hindered his normal movements.

"You must be the captain I accidentally blew up, right? I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that mech to explode after being overloaded for a little while."

"It's alright, a minor issue. We'll be companions from now on, so there's no need to bring this up again. By the way, Miss Abigail, is there something you need?"

"Oh, I'd like to borrow your mechs for a bit."

"Lend me your mech?" The captain looked puzzled.

"Yes, the food on this team is really bad, so I'm going to get something to eat myself."

Abigail's words were met with unanimous agreement from those present. Indeed, compared to the delicacies available in town, the army's food was truly subpar.

“But we’re already quite far from Seko now, and it won’t be easy to get back. If you don’t mind, we should be able to reach Leopold tomorrow, barring any unforeseen circumstances.”

"Who said I lent you my mecha because I wanted to go back to Seko? Don't you think there are plenty of good places to eat around here?"

"around......"

Suddenly, the captain realized something:

"Could it be that you're referring to the Sako Fierce Bird?"

"Yes, it's that kind of big bird. I'm telling you, I brought one back yesterday, and the meat was really good. Do you want to try some? There are so many around, it would be a real shame not to bring one back to eat."

"this......"

To be honest, the captain was also interested in trying it; he had long heard that the flesh of the Sako Ferocious Bird was incredibly delicious. However, as a notoriously ferocious monster around Seko City, the Sako Ferocious Bird was not one to be trifled with. And there was another major problem: they were in the military, and arbitrarily moving mechs like this would be punished.

The captain glanced at his team members' reactions and saw that they seemed eager to try; clearly, they also had the idea of ​​capturing the Sako Fierce Bird.

"Captain, how about we go and ask the regimental commander for permission?"

At this moment, a young man standing nearby said to the captain.

"Yes, Captain, I've heard that the meat of the Sako Fierce Bird is delicious, but it has always been a luxury for noble lords. Today we have a rare opportunity, Captain, don't you want to try it?"

For a time, because of Abigail's instigation, and because they were indeed tired of the army's food, they all started to persuade the captain.

"Go away, what are you all thinking about? Go eat your food properly. This kind of thing isn't something you can just do on a whim. You all know how brutal the Sako Ferocious Bird is. Who will be responsible if the mechs are damaged?"

It must be said that as the captain, he has all the necessary discipline. Moreover, just as he said, the Sako Ferocious Bird is extremely brutal, and even standard military mechs would find it difficult to subdue it without sustaining damage.

“Miss Abigail, I’m sorry, but I cannot grant your request. In any case, hunting the Sako Fierce Bird is far too dangerous, and I cannot agree to it without the captain’s approval.”

"Okay, I'll go find that uncle and ask him about it now."

After saying that, Abigail walked towards where Lionel was.

At this moment, Lionel was discussing the next route of the march with a group of officers.

"Commander, according to our reconnaissance company's recent investigations, there are a large number of Sako Fierce Birds along our route. I suggest we change our route."

“If we take a different route, our journey to Leopold will be delayed.”

"However, if we don't change our route, we'll have a hard time dealing with a surprise attack from the Sako birds."

"This is indeed a problem."

Just then, a noisy sound seemed to come from the side.

"What happened?"

At that moment, a soldier walked over and said to Lionel:
