土星戰役才剛結束，新月軍仍馬不停蹄，火速前往失聯的木衛四「卡利斯托」殖民地。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHsxOuG3md
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYIGThYXto
離開穀神星的補給船陸續趕上本隊，狼刃與奧賽羅也以企業傭兵身分加入陣中，頂替傷重臥床的桑德斯駕駛高雷霆。雖有和平重工背書，來路不明的他們還是難免被懷疑。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9F98YQj36

月輪旗艦馬勒亞普的環形廊道內，複製人女士兵茵坦走入賓客居住區，跟守衛交接情報後，悄悄來到神秘客的寢室外頭。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6w7ICdArl
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCgOYAuAkA
「……擔心母后安危，讓他失去戒心了嗎？」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGUdWGRJZ
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmKUlFcJaE
現在的新月軍核心經不起間諜內部破壞。茵坦想起莎拉⸺她親手處決的摯友，不禁抓緊制服裙擺。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhAQr3CzBi
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2IOCihb1n
湧上的情緒很快就被消除，女複製人低頭提醒自己：經過戰場鍛鍊的她已經有所成長，更熟悉腦部感應晶片的用法。茵坦閉上雙眼，把意識集中到耳膜部位，隔著牆壁捕捉房內聲音。首先傳來的，是那個邋遢科學家的話語。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwbJBje95Z
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVD9F8kDfQ
「……記得札廣帳簿裡的資料、『跳躍』之前的局勢吧？我們能從『結果』反推，決定現在目標……但首先，木衛四……」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOOx4KFFeL
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48S9vcDuG1
「傷亡無可避免。」面具男子如此回道：「帝國想藉此激怒薩邁爾。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAqJWuTLML
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R13SW5Zfg
「反推？他們在說什麼……」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntsI1c5ezm
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0qWz8r87L
聽那語氣，兩人簡直篤定卡利斯托的淪陷。茵坦不解，也深怕預言成真。她不敢去觀測未來，因為，看了越多，就越了解，時間盡頭只有一片黑暗。第一次，在莎拉身上浮現的是背叛與孤獨；阿納費耀陷落時，昂天皇帝的聲音裡面，則是虛無與毀滅。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ezGe3tVT
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUT5fqSk5T
但這次，牆壁對面的兩人不太一樣，她竟然能感到……無法撼動的「真實」，還有背負命運的「勇氣」。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ufF7OpQQq

「乘組員注意，本艦即將解除躍進航行，脫離後，全軍進入一級戰備……重複，一級戰備……」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMic4I5EyS
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx1lUWLy6n
聽到廣播，茵坦正想轉身離開，寢室艙門就突然開啟。狼刃看著女複製人尷尬的側臉，很快就理解她的意圖。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekekdcseKp

「高蓮茲駕駛員，監視傭兵也是妳的職責嗎？」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivu5UzybCK
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w41Leg5VH
茵坦甩過頭，不想理睬，向前走了一步又忍不住停下來。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnqOhq8Ohz
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZz0iC05W
「我問你……」明明是危險的陌生人，卻讓她忍不住開口，「如果……知道悲劇註定發生……我們應該反抗，還是提早接受事實？」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLITYaYBu6
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeQdo2RQDm
「哼……」狼刃愣了一下，動身越過女士兵，頭也不回地說：「接受吧……接受一切、繼續前進，就是最大的反抗……在下用高雷霆出擊，後面就交給妳，監視員。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6FiyRDXHf
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJQT3pWMZ
茵坦用鼻頭嘆息，再次起腳，試著跟上那個沉甸甸的背影，「別衝太前面，傭兵。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPqr1ScbGC
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCBEPY2sxN
「呼……」靜觀兩人對話的亞克博士鬆了口氣，笑著關上房門，「那傢伙，只是戴個面具，連語氣都變啦。」

數十艘匕首形的戰列艦在馬勒亞普兩側散開，橫向擴展戰線。負責先遣偵查的「星河改」艦橋觀景窗被防爆隔板遮蔽，戰術螢幕顯示出地表格線，還有一行斗大的訊息：敵我識別更新，最高級電子戰防衛。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYIOFiFWK9

探照燈掃動白光，艦載機依序出擊。狼刃操縱高雷霆打頭陣，靠著大推力噴嘴快速掠過岩石波浪，首先衝進模組方塊堆疊成的建築結構。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM50drysEpU

染血的工程機具、被電動閘門夾斷的屍體，所到之處無不瀰漫著死亡氣息。當戰團前鋒進入街區深處時，倖存者的訊號終於隨著一架機影出現，但它二話不說就開火射擊。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdxquKRahP
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUw0o4Tzpg
留守的巨脈機兵被AI侵蝕，但裡面的駕駛可能還活著。高雷霆滑行閃避同時瞄準它的四肢，拔出震盪太刀將之破壞。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wx0QK4e6M
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNHfFkR0Jt
「在這等著，援軍來了。」剩下軀幹的巨脈噴著火花飄落地面。狼刃關閉廣播、確認它的座艙完整，準備離開時，又不斷收到對方的求救訊號。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqJfV6d3wd
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNsT7WzD5w
「唉……知道啦，我看能不能撬開艙門。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5pWrt1RI
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKAGOjBOz
高雷霆轉身接近機兵，求救訊號馬上變成能量過載警示。下個瞬間，一道激光直接貫穿巨脈胸口，破壞了駕駛艙與中控系統。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4K9uy2k35

「嘖……」狼刃向射線源頭看去。負責空中支援的高蓮茲舉著狙擊步槍，頭部攝影機在硝煙中閃爍，接著，又毫不留情地擊滅另外一架「殭屍」機體。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMf6uTTnV1

「受感染那一刻就沒希望了，繼續掃蕩。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwyP2iMDQO
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAvQrKCwpE
「太天真了……嗎？」解讀完冰冷的暗號通訊，狼刃駕機躍起，望著燃燒中的殖民地慘狀。憎恨已久的新月軍正在自相殘殺，卻沒有給他帶來任何喜悅。如果連自己都會感到不忍，更別說身為領袖的薩邁爾了。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZjlH3nwp
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULM9U8syIE
不遠處，大量感染機具竄出基地。元帥坐機高盧米涅張著雙臂，緩緩飛越它們，一邊把情緒藏在鋼鐵外殼裡面，一邊控制導引鞭刃貫穿所有「敵人」。油血濺上發著藍光的六眼鏡頭，留下好幾道淚痕。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfD93ZxJWr
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelCWPaTn7C
巨人在黑煙之中行進，巨船在失去光輝的城市上方盤旋，地獄般的光景，連深空星辰都避而遠之。當掃蕩行動接近尾聲，最後一台受感染的電腦被銷毀後，官兵們只能聚在木衛寢宮外默哀，等待喪母的領導者恢復精神。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2j4gkAzc2

「帝國……該死的……」亞克博士穿著太空衣，飄過跪著接受整備的三架戰團機體、避開數不輕的裹屍袋，終於進入宛如廢墟的本殿入口。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgPtv6biXM
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41SkXIwVuY
關上氣密閘門、開啟磁靴，科學家脫掉頭盔走到狼刃旁邊，壓低音量說道：「烏霸……新月高層要決策了，你得順應現場情緒，又不能讓薩邁爾衝動行事……別問我怎麼講，我最怕人多。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwTPInUMb4

王座上的薩邁爾‧吳‧瓦迪馬面容憔悴，完全不像外環居民口中那個無情暴君，就只是一個抱著母親屍體的無助男孩。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ieXcDtjD

無視茵坦在王座旁的怒瞪，企業傭兵鏗鏘有力地打破頹靡，在元帥面前單膝下跪。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXgc8ndCYI
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ymxwb7pkn
「新月必須直搗黃龍，吸引金度出關防衛，同時，穀神星雇傭部隊會兵分多路，從公轉軌道上下夾擊原初智……間諜難防，情報洩漏可能性高，此舉能分散風險。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2nGMnOFBq
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHEYZr2nhk

薩邁爾坐在原處，沉思了一會兒，輕輕抱起艾莉亞夫人的遺體，讓醫務兵幫她蓋上布巾。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywQcOZwWCQ
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz27oWrPV62
混著白絲的秀髮在無重力下飄動，母親的手指離開了孩兒掌心。她與地平行，以永眠之姿退出舞台，不需再費任何力氣去挑起世間疾苦。接下來，就交給活著的來承擔。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1wgMxT6Er
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIsgiOsilG
茵坦站到元帥大人身邊，猶豫是否要碰觸他的臂膀，還是要出言安慰。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwiPf04fxZ

「這個混亂時代，我只能仰賴妳的預感。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNR06YjlQk

薩邁爾率先開口，轉頭看向女士兵，問道：「狼刃……是否值得信任？」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAghxp6vFJs
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ob4cRnQ3
「我……相信他。」茵坦挺起胸膛，第一次如此堅決地直視元帥大人。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrfY98Ojr8

「沒有理由，就只是這麼覺得。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLQ2I2t2Vj
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60WxocFPda
聽到答案，薩邁爾點了點頭，在女士兵耳邊下達指示，接著就披起軍裝、重執佩刀，走進將士群中。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmS61AgCu
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAFXM3baoc
「遵命。」女士兵手貼胸口敬禮，回過身、面對牆上的先父爾哈特肖像，殷切地低語。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHxlM0glQC

不久後，標註機密會議地點的訊息傳入傭兵寢室。亞克博士看了字條一眼，將之遞到狼刃手中，不忘提醒道：「你成功了，記住，已知劇本的最後，是『地球鎖國』。」
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75yoqVasuc
「沒錯，地球是孤立的……據我所知，火星的關德琳有變節之兆，攏絡她，才是新月應該達成的目標。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjMgKDvRVS
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3OGFAStZR
昏暗的會議廳內，螢幕綠燈照著面具客的半臉。薩邁爾、茵坦，還有數名指揮官看著那名企業使者，還是不太瞭解他怎麼能如此斬釘截鐵。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBAXMX7joZ
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U3HWw6hCg
「要先取得相當籌碼，她才會做出行動。」狼刃繼續講解，揮動四周的投影星圖，把手指停在金星標誌上頭，「因此，我們也要加入原初智攻略戰，確實拿下金星宙域，形成地球包圍網。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoJb5lC5z6
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKhOgt9OqD
「策略反覆不定！」聽完，不少將士出言抗議。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6azbwnbaXe

「且慢，各位……」位居議題中心的薩邁爾平舉右手。他的眼眶微腫，但語氣已恢復平穩。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XHxpQ2LC
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriPleAT5IX
「上任以來，我可不記得有要求你們察言觀色……『正面對決、親手復仇』合情，卻不合理，從身分可疑的傭兵口中說出，反而讓我能客觀看待……也許，帝國艦隊就希望我們這樣做。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70iiTvro3R
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOhrLslZf7
「那就正中金度將軍下懷。」茵坦補充道：「感情用事的領袖，很好預測。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnYtrDMYJk
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhiLrEYkxo
「不過，前線士兵還是需要感情驅動。」狼刃拿回主導，公布大膽策略，「帝國眼線深又廣，只要察覺我軍意圖，就會使用纏結通訊組織對策，欲欺敵、先欺友……不到最後一刻不能透露真相。」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjihw6KPmKm
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZmPu0gFq
「無比縝密的情報戰嗎……」將領們陷入沉思。無時差通訊與AI病毒，讓戰爭跟以往截然不同。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNosOuYo8p

「可是，內部資訊不透明，又可能造成信賴問題，讓層級之間產生嫌隙？」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHoyCkzRAQ
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4nBHuKLG2
「增強信賴，是接著的課題。」薩邁爾走到圈中，環視在場眾人，「新月必須從根部全部翻新，屏除上下、增強左右的連結……我有一個想法，在整備期間會將之完成……有勞各位，對金星攻略保持緘默，解散！」526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TspNjemSy
526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3ZojtQffj
會議結束。將領們排隊走出艙門，讓複製人茵坦感應身上有無可疑「氣息」。薩邁爾跟在傭兵後面，耳語之後才目送他離開。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLAK762b3f

薩邁爾輕輕壓下茵坦的手，沒有敬禮就轉身離去。他明顯在壓抑著什麼，但女士兵不敢更進一步確認。畢竟，戰爭不需要多餘感情。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxacRzTzjR

臨時搭建的戰地醫院能產生離心重力，讓患者的傷口順利凝血癒合。桑德斯‧吳‧瓦迪馬腳打石膏、手拄拐杖，呆立在會客室觀景窗前，看著被戰火摧殘的家園不發一語，直到聽見身後的艙門開啟。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHAxR48XTl

沒等弟弟說完，薩邁爾就怒而舉起佩刀，害他嚇得跌坐在地。見到那副驚恐表情，新月元帥倒抽了一口氣，隨即丟掉武器、跪到地上，把唯一親人抱進懷中。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDLsEJo2PG

526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ZpZK2QZq
「好痛……好痛……」桑德斯哭了。那個擁抱，讓他認清自己的才幹永遠不及兄長，而且，不論如何磨練身心，他都永遠缺少某種領袖必須具備的特質。526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZleM8sKTBd

兩面性⸺統治者的必備條件，是與生俱來的虛偽。單靠溫柔，無法馴服戰場的惡魔。
