No one dared question this army that guarded their homeland with their own lives.

Merrick lowered his saluting arm and spoke in a steady tone, “When I first took command of the 9th Legion, we had almost no working communication gear. We had no warships, and our defensive shields were on the verge of collapse. Few precious records survived from the eight legions that came before us. But we will carry out their will.

“I am just a father, like millions of other men. Only if I stand on the front line can my wife and children stay alive. I once found an ancient scroll in Wasteland City. One line has stayed with me ever since. “Though death awaits, I march on for those I love.””

As he spoke, he could almost see Gillian standing right in front of him.

[Though death awaits, I march on for those I love.]

Viewers flooded the comment section with that exact line, many typing it through tears.

Yet the troublemakers still refused to back down.

[The 9th Legion deserves our respect, but you are still a convicted killer. Are you using these soldiers’ blood for political gain? Shame on you.]

[If you truly repented, you would step down as commander and return to your prison to atone.]

[You murdered your teacher and insulted his wife. Standing on the ground where these heroes fell is an insult to their souls.]

[Merrick, you keep twisting every subject. No wonder everyone calls you a murderer. Listening to you makes my skin crawl.]

Ordinary viewers fought back fiercely in the live chat.

[Only the Department of Justice can rule on Commander Cole’s guilt. No man who can build such a disciplined legion could be a criminal. I would sooner believe every Phoenixkin is a parasite than believe he committed that crime. I will skip meals to sign petitions for his retrial.]

[We demand a new trial! Reopen the old case right now.]

[You keyboard warriors will end up chained to typing boards in the afterlife.]

Beastmen all across the Outer Planet called for the case to be reopened, exactly as Gillian had predicted.

Gillian sent, [I believe in you. The soldiers and townsfolk believe in you. The 9th Legion will file an appeal with Capital Planet and push for a full retrial to clear Commander Cole’s name.]

Merrick stared at the line of text and offered a sharp legion salute. Warm light sparkled in his eyes like countless stars.

He said, “My wife believes in me. The 9th Legion soldiers believe in me. The people of Wasteland City believe in me. That is more than enough.”

[Commander Cole is totally using the moment to flirt and show off their love.]

[I have goosebumps all over my body. I can’t take it anymore.]

[Why limit yourself to women? I want a husband just like Commander Cole.]

[Wait a minute-aren’t you a male beastman?]

Gillian’s cheeks flushed hot.

He never hesitated to voice his love for her openly. How could life with one person be the same as with another?

A sharp alert chimed from Gillian’s wrist terminal.

Vivienne had sent a private message containing only a short video.

The footage showed Merrick lying unconscious outside her door after being pulled from the

ambush.

Half his body was severely burned. He spent three months recovering in the Legion barracks. During that time, he watched the 8th Legion fall apart completely after their commanding officer died.

Food shipments dried up entirely. Wasteland City did not have enough supplies to feed nearly a billion beastmen.

Chaos swept through the city within a single month.

The new commander appointed by Capital Planet lacked any real skill. On his first day in office he was trapped and eaten by hordes of level 8 tainted beasts during a siege.

Sill badly injured. Merrick led a small squad and fought the monsters back.

Six months later, beastmen with clan connections packed up and fled. Countless ordinary civilians, elders, women, and children starved or collapsed from hunger on the streets.
