High School Soldier
130. Weapons of mass destruction are called heroes

After a week of battle against the wind dragon king, the entire Expeditionary Force soldiers were carrying out their duties normally. At the moment after the battle, Nio, Sigiz and Zariv were immediately interrogated, several witches were also involved.

According to the testimony of the witch refugees, they said that after forming the Alliance Army, the Empire rushed to gather witches from all over the country. And they were also called to the capital for that reason. Their testimony shocked the interrogator. If the story is true, then this army will act immediately.

The interrogated witches also added if the purpose of gathering the witches as intermediaries ‘ hero call’. Regarding the mentioned ‘hero’, it instantly hastened the Kingdom of Arevelk and the Country of Yekirnovo.

Nio was also interviewed before his wounds healed, where he also reported a kidnapping victim who was still being held by the enemy. The Central Headquarters took Nio's statement seriously, partly because of a captive who was taken by the name of Sonia.

After hours of interviews, Sonia was taken to the soldier's health center and spent some time on treatment, or because it would be troublesome if the media sniffed Sonia's whereabouts.

“Battle the other day makes it clear if the enemy has no intention to reconcile. They do everything possible for this war.”

Sucipto said that with a bitter expression, and seemed to dislike the battle against the wind dragon king. Despite the victory, the battle in Aibu City was considered an embarrassing result for the Otherworldly Expeditionary Force.

“Many talented soldiers were killed, they are really savage enemies!”

“I'm sorry, all because I was caught by the enemy.”

Sucipto turned his head towards Nio who was standing in front of him with some body parts covered with bandages and said, “This is not your fault.”

Then, Sucipto looked at Radit who could be saved during the battle in Aibu City.

“Yes. It was a bad and unexpected battle.”

Radit's facial expression seemed ordinary, or rather he held back anger over an enemy that seemed to be getting stronger.

Nio did not say a word to Radit's words, which the ambassador said bitterly. The Alliance army had lost hundreds of its soldiers during the battle in Aibu City. Even so, the Empire had warned its alliance that the green forces possessed an overwhelming strength compared to their combined forces.

Do they think the Alliance Army can defeat the Expeditionary Force? They are stupid enough to dare to attack a country with a level of technology that is adrift for thousands of years.

Nio suddenly remembered the many families standing in front of the memorial built after the assault incident with a sad lament. And the enemies he killed, maybe they had a family waiting for his return.

Even in Indonesia, the “Association of War Victims and Karanganyar” Incident established after the dispatch of the Expeditionary Force, has become the strongest group calling for revenge on the enemy. If so, it is not strange that a similar situation occurs in enemy countries whose armies have been wiped out by Indonesian forces.

“But, after the statements of the witches, one after another evidence was found to support their statement. Some of the famous and strongest magicians disappeared from the entire country of the Alliance Army, that was also before the event of the hero summoning.”

Neither Sucipto nor Nio were quite sure that it was all a coincidence.

“No doubt, the enemy may call the ‘hero’ as a weapon of mass destruction that uses magic.”

“So, do you think that ‘hero’ is inanimate?”

Radit swallowed his words again after a poignant reply from Nio. If Radit's words are true, it is certain that the war will last longer and be devastating.

“This Holy Land has been approved as an Indonesian territory. That way, all Expeditionary Force movements here can be said as ‘defense’. We are commanded by the President to protect the Republic from the threat of all potential adversaries, and to explore the world. In other words, the battle we are fighting should not be against it as long as it gets permission from the President, and the battle is self-defense.”

In other words, this is not a war with an enemy country, but a security activity of the country. However, the existence of ‘hero’ in question is still a big question mark, and only certain people in this world know about the ‘hero’.

After the war was over, the feelings of Fariz and the girls of the 1st Cruiser Squad were very unfounded. There were many Expeditionary Force soldiers who were killed, and two of their comrades became people on the list.

So, instead of being depressed inside the barracks, Nio orders them to invite Zariv, Sheyn and Sigiz to buy new clothes because their clothes are damaged after the battle.

All the girls of Team 1 explorer accompanied the other world girls were walking in ‘kota refugeean’ which has stood many shops selling goods from Indonesia.

The girls of Team 1 explorer who went to the refugee area after a long time, were amazed by this change.

As they stepped on the almost-small town refugee road, what the girls remember was temporary housing filled with dozens of people, and yet too neatly organized.

If the media covered this area, they would definitely mention it as ‘kamp concentration prisoner of war’. Fortunately, after Chandra's death by a group of journalists, the Expeditionary Force no longer allowed the media to enter the Gate.

The refugee mood is gradually improving. The number of homes for refugees is increasing, and public facilities such as public bathrooms, waste processing systems, drainage channels and clean water processors are getting better.

That's not all, the refugees get jobs from shops established by the Expeditionary Force and sell products from Indonesia. Their expressions were quite bright towards the Expeditionary Force soldiers, although they were aware of the fact that there were many soldiers killed during the battle with the wind dragon king.

At first glance, the refugee area had turned into a city.

After the girls of the 1st Cruiser Squad deliver the three otherworldly girls to order clothes for them, Dinda suggests going for food. There is a food store that sells everyone's favorite food.

“Come go eat.”

The whole girl was sitting in a food stall selling meatballs and chicken noodles. The fragrant aroma of the meatballs makes Zariv and Sheyn look curious and very curious about the food called the meatball.

“Pak, order his chicken noodles 10 and the meatballs 7!”

“Ready!”

The chicken noodle seller was a staff member of the Expeditionary Force cafeteria who was transferred to this shop, he was also assisted by several teenage Demihuman male refugees. All employees of this stall look cheerful when serving visitors, then a few moments later Nio entered this stall with his brother and was greeted by the owner of the stall and all employees.

He and Arunika sat in separate places with the girls, and ordered chicken noodles and sweet orange ice. The two of them were enjoying the order food quietly while being watched by the girls who were showing envious gazes.

“Agot salty, but this is delicious!”

When Zariv put a meatball in his mouth, he really enjoyed the meatball and was followed by Sheyn who also showed the same reaction.

Nio, Arunika, and the girls of the Cruiser Squad 1 chuckled. “You should also try this chicken noodles!” Nio showed me a bowl of chicken noodles that he had just eaten a few mouthfuls.

As Nio said that, the stall owner laughed happily and caught the attention of the walking people.

“Thanks, boss Nio! This is all because of the help of all my employees as well.”

Then, Nio asked all Demihuman employees, “Do you enjoy this job?”

“At first, I thought ‘what was the job of the waiter?’, but it turns out this job was very fun, boss Nio. As long as we stayed here, there were no such strange rules in the Empire, and made us work quietly. This place is so fun!”

After all, the lives of all refugees and immigrants changed drastically than before they were still in the Empire.

The atmosphere was surrounded by an air of tranquility. Through cultural exchanges between the world and race, Nio felt the warmth of the city that the Expeditionary Force had built.

Recently, a budget meeting for the Expeditionary Forces approved additional budget support for refugee development, and logistical supplies have been increased.

Relations with merchants from the Kingdom of Arevelk and the State of Yekirnovo have been improved, with the cooperation of the Expeditionary Forces and individual leaders of the country. By distributing the supply of goods from Indonesia and the two countries, and forming a control and safety unit, the refugee area has become a prosperous city.

People's faces were filled with friendly smiles, and had more room for each other. They also gradually interacted with the Expeditionary Force soldiers, and some even found a soul mate here.

Nio thought he could forget for a moment the brutality of the war a week ago by looking at this scene, and reaffirmed his position as the refugee in charge.

Despite the injuries, both physical and mental injuries, as long as there was her brother nearby, Nio felt that all the bad things would be fine. However, she cannot always number her brother together, because Nio himself also has a lover.

The Alliance forces had mobilized all the magicians they had, and for the purpose of war. Sometimes, for the sake of winning a battle alone, conscience and reason are no longer used.

That was why, they forced the 9 heroes they summoned from the same world as their invaders to fight for them, bearing the name of the God of War.

In the end, the 9 summoned men agreed to assist the Alliance Forces in this war. Only two of them were really what the war meant, namely Rio and the Israeli army. The rest? They try not to want to understand what war is. They only tried to survive until they were returned to the original world after ending the war.

But, in fact, siding with the Alliance Forces who are at war with the Indonesian Forces is for the sake of maintaining their sanity. Although that means they will have to face the 7th strongest military in their world.

Rio was considering all the factors while observing Salul from the corner of his eyes. As he presided over the meeting today, Salul showed a satisfied smile on his face, which might signify something.

Salul secretly monitors the Baron and the Thai people as he explains his future war plans. The Baron and the Thai, who have a hatred for the Alliance Forces' enemies, make Salul make sure they both remain on his side.

After all, Salul already knew the personalities of the two of them. He had realized among these nine people who hated the enemies of the Alliance Forces the most.

Regardless, since they had chosen to help this army in their war, they needed to learn how to fight. No matter there were two warriors among them, the other seven were just ordinary people living in their respective countries who were at peace after the war. It was impossible for them to start fencing against savage weapons without any training.

Salul had already prepared the names for the hero in front of him, he would explain that later.

“Those heroes, please to stand in front of me.”

The old man seemed to cast a long spell quickly, and a magic circle began to appear by emitting a dazzling light in front of the nine people standing in front of Salul. The mantra Salul spoke was pitched, like a song.

It was beautiful to feel an uneasy feeling when the magic circle in front of her brought up an object. He brushed aside the unapologetic thoughts about Nio, and reminded himself that he had to do what he could for now.

Beautiful discomfort continued to increase, and the thing that appeared in front of him finally showed its form.

A dark blue arrow bow with beautiful carvings floated up, and stopped in front of Beautiful face as if telling the girl to hold it immediately. The other eight people also got their hands on ‘magic’ weapons each, and the one that was most unique was Rio's.

“Why did I get my own rifle?”

Yes, the magic weapon that Rio obtained was his first 20-generation Assault Rifle. Everyone sounded envious of the weapon Rio obtained. But, they could not exchange the weapons obtained with other heroes.

They did not have time to look at the beauty of their respective weapons, as the practice began the next morning.
