Mountain Eagle, in anticipation of the dangers that could arise at any moment, discarded his crutch, donned the exoskeleton and flexible armor to help Butcher and Pigeon establish a defensive position and set up ammunition in the designated places.
Butcher and Pigeon were worried about their boss's health, but they wouldn't express it, only working even harder so that the boss would do less.
Actually, from the moment he put on the exoskeleton, the pressure on Mountain Eagle's right leg vanished.
But the thing can't be worn 24 hours a day; once it's taken off, the relaxed leg muscles will feel an increased pressure.
Mountain Eagle's leg injury hadn't worsened; it was just that in this slow delay, recovery time was being prolonged.
Setting up a defensive position on crucial points was not complex – nail a few boxes together with discarded planks, position them on the site, then fill them with rocks and sand. When unused, they could even be planted with flowers and such.
