I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future. - Chapter 93
“The 180th Division of Air and Land?! Is that the ‘Steel Wing Devil Legion’?” Sistine was shocked.
“The old general is very angry about this incident. It is not surprising that he sent one of his most trusted troops to deal with the problem. I heard that Lieutenant General Judas is going to lead the team personally this time, and it is estimated that he will arrive today.”
“Judas? The Cold-Blooded Devil Judas Escarte from the Satan Legion?”
Sistine’s expression turned pale in fright.
Park Si-won stared at Rajeev, who was sitting quietly behind the tempered bulletproof glass, and frowned, “Rajeev, are you sure you won’t change your mind?”
Rajeev still didn’t utter any response.
“Let’s see if you can keep being stubborn when Lieutenant General Judas comes to interrogate you in person,” Park Si-won snorted mockingly before getting up from his seat and leaving the room together with Sistine.
Behind the tempered glass, Rajeev remained motionless, a shadow draped over his lowered face, making it difficult to see his expression.

The second thing Jeanne did was go to the leader of the slum, Donna. She has very important and urgent matters to discuss with her.
Jeanne knew that the slums had been destroyed and a large number of deviants were now scattered heedlessly outside the city, and only a small number of people gathered in the square in front of the military hospital.
Originally, this was not a problem.
When the swarm tide passed, these deviants would casually clean up the aftermath and rebuild their homes on top of the ruin.
But the situation suddenly changed, and Jeanne believed that the deviants were going to suffer.
The person who loathed deviants the most in the federation was about to come to the Trudheim, according to his usual style, none of the deviants would be spared.
This person was the “Cold-blooded Demon,” Lieutenant General Judas Escarte, the name that made Sistine shiver inexplicably.
Judas Escarte, the 49-year-old Lieutenant General, was the commander of the 180th Airforce Division of the Western Army, the chief of staff of the Western Army Staff Bureau, and was also General Heisenberg’s right-arm.
The 180th Airforce Division was famous as the Devil Legion, an iron-blooded army—decisive and ruthless.
Their main specialties included air-to-ground lightning operations, paratrooper airborne, fighter bombing, landing blitz, and so on and so forth; in short, they were a force capable of dominating both air and land warfare.
As Trudheim was currently being locked down, only Judas’s team was allowed to enter the city. They would be dropped from the sky, injecting new and powerful armed support for Trudheim.
When it came to Judas Escarte, even Jeanne was terrified.
This man had a very cruel experience in his early years, which caused his character to be distorted and bloodthirsty.
Especially because of this experience, he formed a bloody feud with the deviants.
As long as he was there, even a single deviant’s hair wasn’t allowed to exist.
Originally, Jeanne held a neutral attitude towards the deviants.
She would neither sympathize with them and help the deviants as Frode did nor would she, like Judas, despise or hate the deviants and slaughter them wantonly.
But, this wasn’t always the case.
As an absolute neutral faction, Jeanne had her own rules and judgments. Whether she should follow the law or break it; do good or do evil; it all depended on the circumstances and the goal she wanted to achieve.
And now, the deviants in the Trudheim still play a big role in Jeanne’s perspective, not to mention Jeanne’s enlightenment teacher—Donna Casperia was also one of them, so even without considering their “role”, Jeanne couldn’t watch the deviant lose their life like this.
If Judas came and then wished to kill them all, Jeanne was the first to object.
However, she couldn’t stop a big shot like General Judas if he wanted to kill someone. Although her father was also a Seven Stars General, General Judas might not necessarily give her a face and put down his grudge against the deviant for her.
But it was different when she joined hands with General Frode.
The only one who could restrain General Judas was Major General Frode, the owner of the Trudheim Region.
Judas’s alignment was a firm lawful neutral, and the deviation value was very small, almost a model for lawful neutral citizens.
Compared to him, Frode, who was also lawful neutral, was more inclined to the lawful good faction.
These two were always at loggerheads with each other in the Western Army.
Judas was a few years older than Frode. When Frode was a young man, around seventeen or eighteen years old, the two had a very unpleasant relationship, the beginning of their everlasting feud.
After all, Frode was the heir of General Heisenberg. He was practically born with a golden spoon in his mouth. While Judas climbed from the very bottom, step by step, to his status as a major at that time, it could be described as crawling out of hell to become emperor.
Such a vast difference in background, like heaven and earth, naturally made them unable to see eye-to-eye with each other.
Judas once disregarded his status and taught Frode a painful lesson. In the end, General Heisenberg did not protect his own son, which left a deep psychological trauma on the young Frode, making him both hate and fear Judas. This matter was very famous in the upper-class circles of the Federation at that time.
As they get older, this hatred and fear turns into constant suspicion and fighting. They always made things difficult and tried to get an advantage over each other.
The conflict between Frode and Judas was also very famous in the Western military.
Strangely, although General Eric was most likely aware of their disagreement, he never meddled in it and kept silent.
Last night, Jeanne received a communication from Frode, informing her that Judas would arrive at noon today, and hoped that Jeanne would go with him to join Judas.
In the communication, although Frode sounded very calm, Jeanne could sense that he was actually very annoyed.
Originally, when Trudheim had a major incident, he was already a little bit overwhelmed, and now that his father had actually sent his nemesis to help him, his cheeks felt painfully hot.
Frode was worried that Judas would grab his power as soon as he came, so he hoped that Jeanne would also be present, which made Judas think twice before he made a move.
Jeanne agreed to Frode’s request and made a deal at the same time. She hoped that Frode could help her find Donna as soon as possible, and Frode agreed.
So now, under the escort of a team of guards, in an underground air-raid shelter, Jeanne saw Donna pick up some parts of a homemade gun, assembling it carefully.
