At the border military outpost, the air was thick with tension. Valkyries stood in disciplined formation, their armor gleaming under the faint sunlight that struggled to break through the overcast sky. Soldiers moved with precision, double-checking defenses and sharpening weapons. The border was their first line of defense, and everyone understood its critical importance.
As Alex and Jian Gang approached with their group, a ripple of recognition spread through the ranks. Soldiers murmured among themselves, their expressions a mix of awe and determination as the two leaders made their way to the central command tent, where the Valkyrie officers were gathered.
A rugged man with a sharp gaze and a scar running across his cheek stepped forward from the group of leaders. His posture was firm, his tone measured but laced with respect. "Sir Alex, Sir Jian Gang, welcome to the border outpost. I'm Commander Harvick, in charge of this sector. It's an honor to have you both here."
