"The Military Committee members are all veterans... They have the authority to kill if they discover a problem! Even just looking around from the outside isn't allowed! Go back now."

The young man spoke, his expression a mixture of emotions.

But the Doctor smiled, turned his head, and looked at Maria beside him.

"..."

Maria glanced at the two people, said nothing, and continued driving forward.

This made the young man extremely anxious.

As expected... in just a few moments, they entered the territory of the Kazdel Military Committee.

Soon, several Gundam Sarkaz centurions wearing black masks came out and blocked their path.

"Stop!"

They spoke in a stern tone, their strong arms positioned behind their backs, looking as if they might draw their swords at any moment.

This left the young man visibly terrified.

This was the first time he had faced these soldiers, and the fear on his face was very clear after seeing their fierce expressions.

But he hesitated and looked at Maria again.

Seemingly not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the other person, he gritted his teeth and suddenly spoke.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, we're here to deliver supplies..."

"Transporting supplies?"

The centurions clearly had some doubts about this statement, and when they frowned, they shouted sternly again.

"You should know that there are designated locations for transporting supplies... This is not a place for you!"

"I know, I know..."

Faced with the man's stern rebuke, the young man was somewhat timid, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.

"These two are my companions, but they're not familiar with the procedures yet, so I'm here to take them back."

The boy gave this explanation and tried to urge Maria and the others to leave quickly.

The Sarkaz centurion, standing nearby, clearly didn't believe this, and immediately took action as he frowned.

The long sword was drawn, leaving a cold glint in the air.

"Stop!"

"..."

The older boy tried to pretend he hadn't heard and prepared to lead his men to retreat.

The centurion, however, did not have such a good temper. With a single glance, one of his men jumped up and blocked the boy's path.

Blood-red eyes emitted a death threat.

"Stop!"

"..."

The boy fell silent.

After a moment, he looked bitterly at the centurion beside him, his words somewhat conflicted.

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

"... This is not something you can decide."

The centurion clearly ignored this; he simply turned his head to look at Maria, dressed in hunting attire, and the strange woman whose features were indistinct but who was definitely not Sarkaz.

"Now, get out of the vehicles and submit to inspection! If we find that you are not part of the convoy... then I will take you to the Sarkaz Military Commission for Tribunal on charges of trespassing!"

The centurion spoke, his tone stern.

The big boy next to him stared wide-eyed.

"The Military Committee's Tribunal?"

This is no easy crime. Over there, the lightest punishment for being convicted is being sent to the mining area.

But compared to this way of living, the Tribunal is actually more adept at all sorts of ways to die.

Upon hearing that the other party intended to send Maria and the others to Tribunal, the boy's eyes widened almost immediately.

"Wait... I... I can explain!"

He struggled to reach out, trying to block Maria and the others.

The Sarkaz centurion frowned.

He waved his hand, and the people around him prepared to take him down immediately.

But just as he was about to make his move...

Maria finally took action.

But she didn't make any exaggerated moves; she simply raised her head silently, letting the faint light illuminate a small part of her profile.

"Wait! I can explain, I really can explain!"

The boy, still unaware that the situation had changed, remained nervously standing in front of Maria and the others with his eyes closed.

Before him, the Sarkaz centurions who had surrounded him were stunned.

They stared in horror at the face etched so deeply into their minds; in that instant, only one thought swirled in their minds...

It's over...

"Um... I... I can explain."

The boy, still confused, cautiously opened his eyes, trying to explain the situation to these people.

The Doctor, unable to bear it any longer, could only helplessly reach out and pat the other person on the shoulder...

"Huh?"

The boy turned his head, his face full of surprise.

The Doctor, however, simply smiled.

"You're very good, but... you still don't have a chance."

"Um?"

The boy was puzzled.

At that moment, the Sarkaz centurions who had been so arrogant just moments before took several steps back in fear.

Then...

Kneel on one knee!

364

Chapter 364 You are the person I trust.

It's over...

It's really over...

The Sarkaz centurion knelt on one knee, trembling all over.

He could feel his breathing becoming rapid, but he couldn't keep up with the pace of his heartbeat.

The slight feeling of oxygen deprivation caused his vision to gradually darken, his muscles trembled, and beads of sweat appeared on his skin.

He could barely even feel his limbs anymore.

At this moment, they seemed to be completely separated from his chest cavity, and no matter how hard his heart tried, it could not provide warmth to his arms.

He felt nothing but death...

Maria didn't say much about the other person's intense reaction; she simply walked down the steps calmly and silently watched them.

"Da... da..."

The footsteps were slow, yet felt like heavy hammer blows, striking the centurion's heart again and again, causing him to lower his head even further.

For the Sarkaz who were truly involved in the war, no one was more awe-inspiring than Maria.

It is no exaggeration to say that their worship and reverence for Maria is no less than that of fanatics facing their own gods!

However, for those believers, their god is elusive, residing in a distant place.

But for the Sarkaz warriors, their gods... were right before them!

Just a simple eye contact made him feel as if he had already been beheaded.

He could see nothing but the enormous moon that flashed by.

The stark disparity in strength filled him with despair.

But what made him even more desperate was his recent offense to Maria.

Although the importance of the Law in Sarkaz has gradually been emphasized after Theresa came to power, even nobles can no longer kill people at will.

But...

There will always be a few people who are above the Law.

Demon Queen Theresa, Regent Theresis, God of War Nitze, and right now, standing before him.

Miracle of the Sarkaz, Maria...

"Gurgle..."

The centurion silently swallowed, large beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks before finally settling on the ground, kicking up dust.

But he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow.

And it was during this suffocating wait that Maria finally spoke.

"Can we go in?"

She asked a question in a polite tone, but it made the centurion's eyes widen as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Of course, Your Highness!"

"Of course you can come in!"

Just kidding, there are only three people in the entire Kazdel who hold the highest authority.

They were just fighters; how could they possibly dare to stop Maria from doing what she wanted to do?

He was overjoyed that the other party didn't blame him for what had just happened; why would he have any complaints?

He nodded vigorously.

"I apologize for our rudeness just now, Your Highness... Please come in."

As the centurion spoke, he rose tremblingly and took the initiative to open the steel gate for Maria.

His respectful and reserved tone immediately stunned the young man who was still trying to protect Maria and the Doctor.

The hands that had been raised like a mother hen protecting her chicks were stiffly lowered.

Things happened so fast that he was almost caught off guard.

At that moment, the Doctor turned around with a smile.

"I told you..."

As she spoke, she walked past the boy, gently patted his shoulder, and smiled.

"We'll be fine, and... you and she really have no chance."

After saying that, she followed Maria and continued onward, leaving the bewildered young man standing there dumbfounded...

Upon entering the military-controlled area, Maria and the Doctor were quickly led to a lounge.

Several Sarkaz, whose racial characteristics were not discernible, were also present, timidly prepared to fulfill any requests Maria and her companion might make at any time.

But... perhaps because they weren't involved in direct combat, they didn't know exactly what Maria's abilities were. Although they were afraid, they still dared to raise their heads and steal glances at Maria.
