As the vehicle shuttled through the streets of the city, Leo felt a sense of warmth and belonging. Jim's laughter was as bright as the sun, and his large hand landed heavily on Leo's shoulder before enveloping him in a bear hug, the force almost taking Leo's breath away. "Hey! Welcome back!" Jim's voice was full of joy and enthusiasm, but it also made Leo feel a bit suffocated.
Sarah, looking somewhat anxious, interjected with a hint of dissatisfaction and concern in her voice, "Hey, Jim, be careful. Leo hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't be so rough." Her words revealed her worry for Leo, as if she feared Jim's rough actions might hurt Leo again.
Emilly, on the other hand, focused on driving the vehicle, her gaze in the rearview mirror directed towards the back seat filled with seriousness. "Yes! Don't be reckless, Jim!" Her voice was firm and powerful, clearly a warning to Jim's behavior. She didn't want the overexcitement to have a negative impact on Leo's recovery.
In this space filled with laughter and noise, Leo was deeply enveloped in this warm team atmosphere. Even though his body had not fully recovered, the friendship and care made him feel like all the pain was not that important. He tried hard to return Jim's embrace, although not as strong, the sentiment was sincere. In this moment, Leo was even more certain that the team he belonged to was his strongest support and the greatest motivation for him to stand up again.
When Jim finally released the embrace, Leo took a deep breath, feeling the long-lost freedom in his lungs. A smile appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed curiosity and anticipation for the new life about to begin. "Where are we going now?" Leo's voice carried a hint of doubt and a desire for exploration into the unknown.
Jim glanced back at Leo, excitement shining in his eyes as he proudly replied, "We're going back to our base." Jim's brief answer conveyed a deep affection for their base, which was not just a physical space but also a symbol of their team spirit and a fortress for their collective resistance.
Sarah joined the conversation and her voice carried a hint of seriousness and responsibility: "Hey, Jim, take Leo to familiarize himself with the environment. We have a strategy meeting later! Jim, are you listening?" Her words not only served as a reminder to Jim, but also reflected the serious situation facing the Valkyrie mercenary group. Every member needed to quickly get ready to face the upcoming challenges.
Jim seemed to pay little attention to Sarah's reminder, casually waving his hand with a relaxed expression: "Yeah, yeah!" His attitude may seem casual, but it actually concealed his trust and reliance on his team and members. He knew that no matter what difficulties they faced, as long as they were united, they could overcome them.
Leo's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and curiosity, "Combat meeting? Is there a new mission?" His voice revealed his eagerness for the upcoming mission and reflected his concern for the mission and goals of the Valkyrie mercenary group.
Jim, on the other hand, had a playful and excited look, and mysteriously replied, "Hehe! I sensed it a long time ago! When Alex was acting all mysterious, I knew something big was about to happen!" Jim's words made Leo even more curious, wanting to know what this mission was all about and why it was making Jim so excited.
"Big deal?" Leo asked, puzzled. He could sense Jim's excitement, but at the same time felt a hint of unease. After all, as a new member of the team, he felt both anticipation and pressure for such a big mission.
Jim's voice carried a hint of pride, "This is a big mission... we're actually going to assassinate a major worm handler of The Cult of the Celestial Worm at Orlando Star... what was his name again... Ku... Ku?" He seemed to be struggling to recall the target's name, indicating that he wasn't very clear on the details of the mission.
Sarah chimed in, her voice carrying a hint of seriousness and earnestness, "Kukulcan!" Her addition made the target of this mission even clearer. Kukulcan, a highly ranked giant worm in The Cult of the Celestial Worm, undoubtedly posed an unprecedented challenge for the Valkyrie mercenary group.
Upon hearing this name, Leo's mind was filled with doubt and curiosity. This kind of mission was a completely new challenge for him, as well as an opportunity to prove his abilities. However, the accompanying risks and unknowns also made him feel a bit nervous. He knew that from this moment on, his life would undergo a profound change.
Leo nodded gently, his eyes revealing deep concern for the religious war. "The Cult of the Celestial Worm's influence is indeed formidable... Their opposition to the government led by the Star Alliance has been ongoing for a long time. On Earth, we may still feel some degree of peace, but on other planets, the situation is completely different," Leo's voice was deep and powerful, emphasizing the importance and danger of this mission with every word.
Sarah responded with a smile, her laughter carrying a hint of ease but her eyes showing seriousness. "Ha! It is indeed a religious war. The ideology promoted by The Cult of the Celestial Worm holds that the worm god Azum is the only truth in the world for them. They firmly believe that the will of the worm swarm is the will of Azum, and they consider Xyphos to have self-awareness and intelligence just like humans," Sarah's tone revealed her understanding of the complex emotions behind this war, while also reflecting her awareness of the challenges ahead.
Listening to Sarah's words, Leo's worries did not diminish, but instead, he became more certain of the difficulty of this mission. The Cult of the Celestial Worm's power is unfathomable, and their unwavering belief in the Worm God makes conflict with them inevitable. For Leo, this is not just a regular war, but a struggle about faith and ideology.
