My Beloved Oppressor — Chapter 51

WE CAN'T GIVE THEM HUNTINGHAM!

WE NEED TO SEND REINFORCEMENTS NO MATTER WHAT!

THERE'S TALK THAT FRANZE IS SENDING TROOPS TO THE NORTH...

ARE YOU SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO STOP THEIR ADVANCE?

THEY WON'T STOP UNTIL THEY TAKE OVER THE CITY.

THERE ARE OTHER MORE PRESSING ISSUES!

CIVILIAN EVACUATION IS BLOCKING THE TRANSPORT OF OUR ALLIES.

WE MUST RESTRICT THEIR MOVEMENT!

ISN'T THAT TANTAMOUNT TO FORCIBLY MOBILIZING CIVILIANS INTO THE DEFENSE NETWORK?!

HAAA...

AH...

WHY AM I SUDDENLY REMINDED OF...

SIGH

APPARENTLY...

...ANNETTE EVACUATED WITH THE OTHERS INSTEAD OF STAYING BEHIND.

I HAD THOUGHT SENDING HER TO THE REAR WOULD BE THE SAFEST...

HOWEVER, THE CENTRAL FRONT COLLPASED...

WITH A WAR OF EXTERMINATION RAGING IN HUNTINGHAM.

IN RETROSPECT, I WAS ALWAYS THE ONE WHO PUT HER IN DANGER.

ANNETTE'S UNHAPPINESS, PAIN, AND SORROW...

...EVEN THIS THREAT TO HER LIFE...

EVERYTHING IS OVER.

SHE IS DRIFTING AWAY.

INTO THE DISTANCE, SO THAT I MAY NEVER REACH HER.

BUT WHY IS IT...

THAT I'M STILL STAGNANT HERE IN THOUGHTS OF YOU, TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

SINCE MY LIFE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT YOU...

...PERHAPS THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS.

ALL THAT’S LEFT FOR ME...

THE ONLY THING I’VE EVER WANTED...

HEINER. ISN’T IT TIRING?

EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

ALL I HAVE LEFT...

WE MUST HOLD THE CENTRAL FRONT.

FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.

FOR THE REMAINING LIFE I HAVE LEFT...

Episode 51

AFTER FRANZE TOOK CONTROL OF HUNTINGHAM'S OUTSKIRTS, OUR ALLIES RETREATED INWARDS.

FRANZE'S AIR FORCE BOMBED THE CITY INDISCRIMINATELY WITH MORE THAN 1,300 BOMBERS...

...REDUCING THE CITY TO CRUMBLING ASHES.

WHO'S THERE!

*franzean

I-I'M A NURSE.

A NURSE?

YOU... PADANIA... COME...

I'M NOT 100% SURE, BUT I THINK HE'S CALLING ME OVER.

...HERE! HEAL...!!

OWW...

UGH...

YOU...

YOU WANT ME TO... TREAT...?

YES!

O-OKAY...

WE WOULD DISTRACT THE SOLDIERS WHILE THE RESCUE TEAM MOVED.

THEY SEEM TO BE WELL ON THEIR WAY, SEEING HOW THERE'S NO COMMOTION.

UGH...

HE'S TOO YOUNG TO BE FIGHTING...

I'D SAY HE'S SIXTEEN, AT MOST...

PHEW...

THANKS.

DID I SCARE YOU? APOLOGY.

P-PARDON...?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE FINISHED.

OH... NO WORRIES.

HE'S FROM FRANZE... BUT HE SPEAKS PADANIAN...?

HE'S STILL BABY. SO HE GOT VERY HURT.

I LOVE PADANIAN FOOD, SO I LEARNED LANGUAGE A BIT.

AH... I SEE.

I MUST LEAVE NOW.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

JUST, THAT WAY...

NO. IT'S DANGEROUS THERE.

WHY IS HE SO PERSISTENT?

THERE'S NO GOOD STAYING HERE LONG.

I SHOULD GET OUT OF HERE...

I'M A NURSE.

I HAVE TO GO--

TELL ME YOUR NAME.

...I FEEL LIKE HE WON'T LET ME GO IF I DON'T SAY SOMETHING.

I'M SORRY, CATHERINE...

IT'S CATHERINE.

CATHERINE!

SORRY, I'M IN A HURRY. MAY I GO NOW?

I HAVE TO GO.

OH! DO YOU SPEAK FRANZEAN?

WOMAN...

...HURRY...

EVEN IF I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR LANGUAGE, I CAN TELL WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.

THIS UNSETTLING FEELING...

I'M NOT... A STRANGE.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL LADY.

TELL ME YOUR ADDRESS. I WANT TO WRITE LETTER.

...WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I STILL HAVE A HOME.

WHAT WITH ALL THE BOMBERS YOU SENT...

HM? SPEAK TOO FAST.

I LIKE PADANIA.

PADANIA LADIES ALL BEAUTIFUL AND NICE.

YOU TOO, CATHERINE.

YOU ARE SEEING SOMEONE? ADDRESS, PLEASE.

...CAN YOU STOP FOLLOWING ME?

HERE'S MY ADDRESS.

...ALBEIT, A FAKE.

GOODBYE! I WILL WRITE YOU LETTER!

BEING CAREFUL!

THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO REJOIN THE RESCUE TEAM.

HOWEVER, WHAT WE SAW OF THE CITY ON THE WAY TO THE CHURCH WAS...

I WONDER... IF SEINSHIRE IS ALSO A MESS.

I CAN’T HELP BUT IMAGINE CATHERINE’S HOUSE IN RUINS.

...WHEN DO YOU THINK THE WAR WILL END?

WHO KNOWS.

BUT IF EVERYONE DIES, IT'LL BE OVER FOR GOOD.

SHHH...

OH DEAR, THEY'VE COME TO OUR RESCUE!

THANK THE HEAVENS...

SHHH, EVERYONE KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN.

WE'LL MOVE RIGHT AWAY AFTER WE TREAT THE BIG INJURIES.

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

ARE WE... LEAVING?

SOON. LET ME CHECK YOUR WOUNDS.

DEAR, I'LL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S WOUNDS...

CAN YOU STEP ASIDE FOR A BIT?

BRAVO 3, THIS IS EAGLE 9.

OUR CURRENT LOCATION IS DELTA, SIERRA, LIMA, SIERRA, ALPHA, FOXTROT...

IF YOU NEED SUPPORT, SAY SO. MOVE QUICKLY AND QUIETLY.

I NEED TO STAY CALM.

IF THIS CHILD LETS OUT A CRY...

PLEASE HELP US, PLEASE SAVE US.

I PRAY...

...PLEASE GIVE US SHELTER...
