Fire And Water
Cp 60 # The Land Mine

Time continued to pass until the morning began to dawn the Martian army of hundreds had moved to the battlefield by following the tanks and artillery that were run first from the personnel while Nikolaus and joko were in the top row rear by using a 4x4 car to climb the mountain slope

However, when their Tanks reached the mountain slope they unwittingly hit the Land Mine installed by the Martian army which caused an explosion to destroy the tank that was in the front row

𝘿𝙪𝙖𝙧....

𝘿𝙪𝙖𝙧.....

𝘿𝙪𝙖𝙧....

The sound of an explosion from the ground made the entire army panic and scatter while looking for a place to hide behind the rocks around, even the sound of the explosion was heard into the forest that saw Nikolaus and Squad Lian still behind

"What's that sound?" confused Nikolaus while looking towards the slope

While Joko just silent while watching the movements of Lian in front of Lian was also confused because the explosion was so large that the explosion occurred so suddenly even the explosion was accompanied by a hysterical human scream

Confused, Lian told the soldiers to speed up the steps to the top of the mountain, so that they could ascertain what was happening there, until not long they reached the top and saw the scattered carcasses of tanks and several bodies lying on the ground with their bodies intact

Miya, and Sina immediately vomited on the spot while Lian could only curse with what happened, "Damn, what actually happened why something like this could happen!!" muttered Lian with attention to her surroundings

Not long came the car that became the vehicle of Nikolaus, because the road was uphill enough to make them up longer than others, but after until Nikolaus directly down followed joko from behind

The atmosphere was immediately silent as Nikolaus began to clench his palms as the explosion that had occurred had almost destroyed all the tanks and artillery even the remaining troops had to be drained due to enemy traps, with emotion Nikolaus shouted with one word

"Suckers.." he cried until it was heard until the warship owned by Mars even his voice made Samuel wake up from his sleep.

The awakened Samuel rushed out of the room to meet the general, aiming to discuss the next matter, even though he was walking with a staggering body

But lucky when he came out he saw two soldiers standing guard in front of the room, to his surprise the soldier immediately said, "Master Rian, how are you?!" tanya was still surprised by Samuel at the time

"I'm fine" Samuel replied with a limp body seemed to want to fall to the ground but before the collapse Samuel's hand was held by dika

"Thank you" Samuel continued in a limp tone

"Where do you want to go?" ask dika

"Meeting with your general, because our time is not much anymore, if not quickly then all our struggles will be in vain" explained Samuel

"But sir"

"Let me call the general" was cut off from the fellow who was then assigned to guard Samuel

"Alright, I'm counting on you" replied the man before leaving them

"Mr Rian, you should rest, I'm sure the general will come by himself" said Dika, holding Samuel's hand

"No need, just take me to the war room I'm sure he's there" Samuel replied

"But sir your condition is still very weak?"

"Thank you for worrying about me but I'm fine"

"But"

"Help me, this is for the good of all of us" said Samuel who put on a face full of diligence but looks pale because the condition is still not fit

"Well, if that's the case, I'll take you to the general's place" he replied as he walked slowly towards the war room with the shoulder carrying Samuel's arm

While in the war room saw the general and 6 members of the meeting who were gathered in one place, with a serious atmosphere the General said, "From now on we will fight more seriously than we did the day before so I beg you to cooperate in the future"

"Each general" replied simultaneously from the 6 members while saluting

"But general, how can we defeat them?" ask one of the members of the meeting

"You take it easy, because according to the information from Rian, if the enemy forces are far below us and their tanks are already 70% we destroyed, so there is a chance that we can win, it's just that we have to be able to look for reproaches in order to reduce the casualties from our side"

"Then, what about the man named Rian?, instead of him being on our side so I hope he will come to our aid"

"That's a problem I don't know, because right now Rian is still lying weakly in his bed so I can't bother him, especially after seeing the incident that night" replied the general

The speech made everyone who was there silently contemplate but while they were still silent suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door coming from outside the room while saying, "General, the general has something I want to say!!" shouted from outside in a tone like a panicked person

Not only did the general of even 6 commanders seem confused by what they heard because it was not a polite action for a subordinate to the superior with emotion move one of the commanders opened the door there was a soldier with irregular breath

Confused the commander said, "What's wrong with you, do you know what this place is" the commander growled with a cynical look

"Not emotions, we better ask first what he wants to tell" the general's voice with a soft but firm word until the commander of the army who was there immediately removed his view of the army

"What are you coming here for?!" ask the general as he walks closer to the soldier

"Anu, man,.. Lord General, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous but I want to let you know that Mr. Rian is conscious and wants to meet you" the soldier said with steady breaths

"Then I will go there, and you will return to the post because soon we will face the enemy" ordered the general who immediately left the war room to meet Samuel

But before the two of them until they had first met Samuel who was still carried by his army, "Rian, why are you here?, but?, the rules of your condition are still less fit so you should take more rest" the general advised with concern

"I'm fine, general"

"What do you mean!!, look at you as the dead" the general argued

"But there are things that I need to do because our death is only a thread if not allowed then the end of us all" said Samuel who made the general silent

"Already the general, you better gather our commanders in the war room because there are things I want to tell you" Samuel continued in a limp tone

"Alright, but before that I want you to rest first in the war room because you can't keep standing here" said the general who carried Samuel to the war room

Lian who saw could only sigh and told the soldiers who were there to evacuate for the survivors who could still be saved, after all finished tracing the explosion area recorded there 67 soldiers, he said, 43 Tanks and 23 artillery pieces were destroyed

Even after Nicolaus knew such a report looked angrier in the face and ordered his entire army to go towards the fortress as they would launch an aggressive attack all of it since there was no time left to delay the time

Guided by Lian, he led the remaining soldiers to the front-line battlements of tanks they had brought with him only because almost all the tanks had been destroyed, that is carrying 7 tanks in front and artillery that is behind in tandem with Nikolaus's car

But when they got there, they only saw a crater and some tanks that had become rubble even the trees around the fort had been seen burned

To his astonishment he said, "What is this!!" nikolaus said in a high tone but not long came one of the soldiers facing him while saluting him saying

"Great master, there is no one left here even the tanks and anti-tanks we sent were destroyed without rest, so in the future we have to how, big master"

"Forward!!!"

"Heh" confused all the soldiers who were there because of the words of Nikolaus Although only one word but it is a slightly impossible word

"But the great lord, we can't just go forward without setting up a formation" the soldier argued that he eventually moved the interlocutor to the front of the joko who was sitting on the left of Nikolaus

"Mr Joko, you are our informant so you must guide us to solve our problems" the soldier said to Joko, who was still sitting back

But after hearing the words of a soldier he finally stood up and said in a loud voice, "Everyone heard!!, this situation is already beyond my expectations so I can't put together any information or formations you guys understand!!"

"But what should our master be?, instead of advancing without preparation it's called suicide!!" ask the soldier

"Give me some time, until I can think of a formation that suits us" replied joko who sat back in his chair

Lian could only look while clenching her hands as a result of being irritated to hear the leader who threw responsibility to the subordinates, but when her emotions peaked sina suddenly held her shoulders while saying, "What do we have to do now?" tannya

"I don't know either, and why does your face look pale!!" confused Lian who saw sina's face

"Haha,.. It's okay, just soy sauce" ngeles sina

"Eeh.." Lian's voice replying to sinah even though she already knew she was being lied to

But while everyone was still confused, two people came to Lian and said, "What's the situation?" the question that made Lian turn to look and it turns out there was already Yuno and Riza who had been out of nowhere all along

"Where have you been, not seen from last night?" ask Lian who looks confused

"It's not that you know for yourself that I manage the organization's finances, so everyday I have to be busy with managing our profits" Yuno replied with an annoyed face

"And I was assigned as the head chef in the kitchen, actually I was still busy but because we saw our condition like this, so I brought the group here" along with Riza who replied

"Couple?" confused Lian

"Yes, who else if not our reliable Killer" Yuno replied with a flat face

"Eh, man,.. Aren't they still on duty for the sabotage of Jupiter's state?"

"Of course, I told them, there's no way that this organization would be destroyed before they helped" Yuno replied

"Where are they then?" ask Lian

"They are there" Yuno replied as she pointed towards the enemy ship

"You can!!" confused Lian

"Of course, any mission like this isn't easy for them"

"You're right" Lian now seemed very anxious after hearing the words of her colleague, all because she believed that there was Samuel

"Eh, man,.. It turns out that here there is Sina, it's been a long time since we met ya" exclaimed Riza who was just aware of the existence of Sina

"I-iya" Sina replied stammeringly

"Why you?!" confused Riza who saw Sina's behavior was not as usual

"He's seen the tragic events before, not that you've seen them" Lian said

"Yes I see, and if you look at it again it looks like our tank was hit by a boom mine" Yuno replied

"You're right, and even now we don't think that our fortifications are being destroyed, is it because we're moving slowly!!"

"I don't know either" yuno replied while looking at Nikolaus and mister Joko getting out of the car with a map in his hand

When the atmosphere was still quiet suddenly heard the sound of a powerful bang coming from the enemy ship until not long seen a very fast lesatan hit the mountain slope to within seconds the mountain directly exploding on a large scale

As a result, panic broke out and all the existing soldiers immediately moved towards the deepening of the forest to hide but while they were hiding there was again the sound of cannons but this time the number was so much that they felt like it was rained down by bullets

𝘿𝙪𝙖𝙧..

𝘿𝙪𝙖𝙧..

𝘿𝙪𝙖𝙧....

The sound of the explosion that happened again made the entire army scatter nonstop, even Lian immediately gave a code to her colleagues and squad to immediately leave the place because it was not safe there even the tank was left by the owner because it had not had time to activate the engine

Nikolaus and Joko could only stand by while watching the cannonballs being continuously fired even without saying, the entire fleet had already been destroyed along with the ground

"Sir, we should leave this place because it is not safe for us here" said Joko until they went to find shelter,until then the whole tank and artillery had been destroyed even most of the whole army had to accept a crushing defeat of the enemy because of lack of preparation and training in handling the precarious lazah

Until the sunrise the shots were stopped a lot of fire that continued to propagate to the forest, and the hole is seen imprinted on the fortress and slopes of the mountain which has now become a volcanic crater but lucky army of black roses still left despite living 1/2 of the previous number
