Bab 842: 842 Who Are The Arisen

They had deliberately separated him and Nico from the rest of the fight, but it looked like they weren't going to send anything out.

"What the feth is the point of that? If they're trying to wipe out everything, shouldn't they be doing their best to kill us as well?" Khalil demanded. 

He was a soldier and a proud one. It did not sit well for him to be separated from a battle like this and watch on the sensors as others fought and died. That wasn't how it was supposed to go. He should be there on the lines with them.
