High School Soldier
140. A massive attack !

“Alliance Forces continue to launch dirty attacks!”

The Expeditionary Force and the volunteer forces that continued to accept all the enemy's tactics, which seemed disgusting to them (perhaps indeed so), clearly began to lose patience bit by bit.

As the battle progressed, slowly the fatigue felt by the Expeditionary Force soldiers and the volunteer forces got worse. On the other hand, the Alliance Army utilized the exhausted condition of the army to dispatch a large number of its troops, and continued its offensive tactics three times a day, almost twenty-four hours in a row.

When having a large number of troops, the tactic is indeed the best choice.

The Expeditionary Force and the volunteer forces had already begun to reach their physical and mental limits, and there might even be no sleep at all since the war began. Fatigue body condition slowly makes the body like being hit continuously when the soldier must defend the fortress when attacking.

There were no reserve forces owned by the Expeditionary Forces and volunteer forces, even almost all male refugees fought with very little experience.

There was an expression that soldiers would not fight if they were hungry, but the condition of the Expeditionary and Voluntary Forces was now very exhausted, starving, and sleep deprived. No wonder the officers could not bear to hear the grievances of the soldiers.

**

The Alliance felt that the Expeditionary and Voluntary Forces were less responsive in some of the attacks, and they would take advantage of the gains.

“One more attack, Holy Land will we hold again...!!!”

The one who shouted earlier was Maslac, he was confident that with the superiority of his large army would end this battle.

First of all, he will make the enemy's morale go down. Maslac will tell the TNI and Indonesia that wherever they hide, they cannot escape the sword of the Alliance Forces.

“Waiting victory!”

Hero Envy Theodore who led one of the corps was very pleased with the present situation. Where if the Alliance wins this final battle then the heroes will be returned to their home world.

**

Tonight became the busiest time for the Alliance air force base.

In a separate place, the ropes holding the wyverns and war dragons were removed, and the Alliance air force saddled all over their flying lizards. The saddle was firmly attached to the bodies of the dragons and wyverns, and some people checked the readiness of these flying lizards.

Now, the Alliance Forces will see the effects of the new weapons that weapon developers created with the help of the knowledge of the heroes.

The dragon riders climbed their mounts, while carrying some clay jars on their backs. Inside that clay jar was the Alliance's new weapon.

The flight commander asked the entire pilot, “Is everything ready!?”

The entire air force dragon riders of the Alliance inspected the surroundings to monitor the safety and readiness of their comrades, and there seemed to be no problem. The flight commander held his hands up high as a flying command.

“We will reclaim the sky of this world from the people of another world!”

The aviator commander pulled the bridle firmly, and his wind-mounted dragon roared and spread its large wings. The dragon kicked the ground forcefully while flapping its wings a few times, then flew above the ground. This was followed by all other Alliance air force pilots.

The entire aviator lowered his head until his body came into contact with the dragon's back to reduce air resistance. Dragons and wyverns need hundreds of flaps of wings before they reach the desired height.

A number of dragon and wyvern aviators flew into the sky. The airmen gathered from all the Alliance Forces member countries, with a total of nearly 900 flying lizards taking off one by one. Hundreds of flying lizards are a very rare sight, and probably will not happen again other than in this great war.

In fact, the number of deployed flying lizards numbered nearly 3% of the dragon and wyvern populations in the Alliance member countries. Most of the flying lizards deployed today are dragons and old wyverns, and avoid the use of young flying lizards to prevent extinction.

Only the two-month glow that the aviators relied on as illumination, but the darkness of the night did not make the fliers easily get lost. Fortunately, the Expeditionary Force fortress was a well-lit place.

“Right the night and destroy that weak fortress!”

The flight commander picked up the whistle in his pocket and blew it as hard as possible so that the entire aviator could hear it. A number of dragons roared in response to the whistle, and the screams of the flying lizards filled the night sky with a terrifying voice.

The flight commander pulled the harness and ordered his wind dragon to fly down. The other airmen who heard the whistle followed their commander's manoeuvre, and flew towards the Expeditionary Force fortress.

“Target visible!”

The anti-aircraft artillery operator prepares the ammunition, and directs the cannon barrel upwards. Unfortunately, this weapon is the target of the attack of the dragon riders. In addition to air defense weapons, self-propelled cannons and artillery are targets of attack.

The Alliance air force forces flew in a safe direction, and flew close to their target.

As they were about to hit the target, all the airmen dropped clay jars on their backs. Each pilot dropped three clay jars over the target.

The jars dropped by all the airmen fell to the ground near the target. When the clay jars hit the ground, it instantly caused a huge blaze.

This was the new weapon of the Alliance Army that the Hero of Anger proposed Rio. This weapon is more familiar with the designation ‘bom molotov’.

The material of the new weapon is very simple, using only flammable substances such as wine with very high alcohol content and oil mixed. White phosphorus is also mixed, and this substance will ignite when it hits the ground, and will burn the flammable mixture.

Although this weapon did not cause damage to the weapons of the Expeditionary Forces that were the target of the attack, some airmen dropped Molotov cocktails on refugee houses and makeshift tents set up to treat wounded soldiers and refugees.

**

When Edera was startled by the noise, she climbed up the western tower, and she saw thick black smoke billowing around the west side to the south of the fort. Not only in the area, the fire also raged in barracks, makeshift tents, refugee settlements, and even hospitals that treated many wounded soldiers were also surrounded by a fiery red fire.

Refugee settlements and the previous Expeditionary Force fortifications were a peaceful place. Seeing the peace being taken away, Edera clenched her hands tightly. There were a lot of people inside the building that were on fire, were they all safe?

Suddenly Edera crouched on the watchtower while protecting her head as soon as she heard a loud impact sound. After that, when he had confirmed that there was no second impact sound, Edera stood up and turned to the source of the impact sound earlier.

Edera looked towards the impact, and all she saw was that part of the fortress wall had collapsed.

“Giant catapult attack!?”

There were hundreds of large chunks of rock thrown continuously from the giant catapult of the Alliance Army, it seemed like they were carrying very many artillery pieces in the form of stone. The Expeditionary Force also counter-attacked by firing some of the remaining mortars and field artillery. But the smoke was thick enough to close the field of vision, and the gun sights could not see well.

Having a lot of catapults is not a problem even though there are a lot of stones thrown off, you can hit a striking target such as a fortress wall.

Edera thought that the Alliance was a very stubborn opponent.

The Alliance forces ignored the reduced 40,000 troops during this war, and continued to attack relentlessly. A small defeat would only lead to minimal losses, then the attacking aggressiveness in battle gave the Expeditionary Force an unexpected blow.

In the presence of the Alliance Forces who did not stop the stone attack from the giant catapult, there were only refugee settlements and fortresses that were already in a miserable state. As far as the eye could see, after the hail of stones given by the Alliance Forces, what was seen was a pile of rubble and the corpses of refugees and soldiers. The sound of flames burning dry wood and houses rang out, and the moans of the injured people. The smoke was filled with the scent of blood, accompanied by the sound of despair.

“Bu! Where are you? Bu!” a little girl separated from her parents stood weakly weeping, and stared at the shelter the Expeditionary Force gave her family. And the burning house that the little girl mourned roasted her parents.

“Quick bring your valuables! Run from here!” some Expeditionary Force soldiers who were aided by some mercenaries shouted like that.

“Oh...my foot!” an elderly refugee leaned against an electric pole with a badly injured leg.

Edera and the Expeditionary Force soldiers and volunteer troops wanted to answer everyone who was asking for help now, but the first thing to do was to stop the enemy attack. The troops must fight as quickly as possible and stop the movement of the enemy more freely. While hearing the miserable cries of the people, Edera rushed to join the volunteer forces.

**

The war situation was clearly dominated by the Alliance Forces.

A number of siege towers for the assault of the fort were installed on the walls of the fort, and the Expeditionary Force soldiers and volunteer troops could see the large forces of the Alliance Army steadily crossing the walls.

A fierce battle ensued within the fortress, and the commanders of the Alliance Army corps raised their swords to order an attack. The generals of the Alliance Army did not seem to be afraid of being in the midst of the resistance that the Expeditionary Forces and the volunteer forces had put up.

But, the volunteer forces along with the Expeditionary Force soldiers could not allow the enemy to attack.

While climbing the stairs that the Expeditionary Force provided, the volunteer soldiers waited for the Alliance soldiers on top of the fortress wall. They carried homemade weapons stored on plastic buckets. The enemy soldiers who climbed the walls were doused with some sort of oil and other flammable materials, and some soldiers lit torches and dropped them among the oil-soed enemy soldiers.

In addition to burning the enemy using oil, fire throwing weapons that still have little fuel also spew fire as an increase in killing power.

Despite seeing the sight of dozens of friends being roasted alive, the Alliance soldiers who dared to climb the stairs and saw their comrades falling after each other from the top of the wall as burnt corpses.

Surrounded by overwhelming fire and heat, the battlefield quickly turned into a deadly inferno.

Unfortunately, the Alliance Army attacked from all directions at the same time, and it was impossible to face them at once. Hundreds of Expeditionary Force soldiers and volunteer troops closed the hole created by the enemy.

The Expeditionary Force fort was about to fall…

It was caused by the attack of the 9th corps of the Alliance Army led by the Hero of Anger, and finally managed to open a path by breaking into one side of the fortress. In order to destroy one side of the fortress, the attack left thousands of soldiers of the 9th corps of the Alliance Army killed.

However this was not a matter of fighting spirit, but the number of troops on the side of the Alliance had already greatly decreased. Even so, there were no errors in command, and the damage the Alliance suffered in a reasonable amount of range. The power to destroy the Expeditionary Force and the volunteer forces was more than enough.

Of course the strategy to close the perfect Gate that the Expeditionary Force had mastered was a very good choice. This strategy was designed to defeat the Expeditionary Force.

When the perfect Gate controlled by the Expeditionary Force is closed, no reinforcements from Indonesia will come.

There is no obstacle to changing strategy. The Alliance Army's goal was to reclaim the Holy Land, reunite the Yekirnovo State into the bosom of the Luan Empire, and destroy the armies of the other world for the peace of this world.

“Command the whole army to make a total attack. The decisive battle, the time has come!”

The top brass of the Alliance ordered a total attack without hesitation, nor did they hesitate to include reserve troops and monsters in the battle.

The main force led by the nine heroes passed through the side of the destroyed fortress, and a large army finally entered from outside the fortress.

**

The rover squad 1 was one of the few Expeditionary Force parts to have any remaining bullets in the magazine. Although the entire Squad members shot at the target and killed the enemy soldiers, the shot did not have a major impact. The enemies who entered the fortress were too numerous to fight with the remaining ammunition.

“Jass! Why does this head hurt so much!”

Nio's body had already reached its limit due to the stress of going through battles every day, lack of sleep, being injured from fighting head-on, and lack of nutrition. Nio's body, brain, and mind shouted, “Have a break jerk!”

But, suffering from not only Nio, almost all of the soldiers were having more or less the same problem as him.

When the attack command trumpet is sounded by the enemy, hundreds of thousands of Alliance soldiers enter the side of the destroyed fortress, and make all the soldiers who fight are forced to retreat to the watchtower, where the archers are stationed.

“Do not make enemies approach! Fight them!”

All the soldiers used their weapons as well as they could, and the archers responded by showering the enemy with arrows, but that was not very helpful.

The Alliance forces brought in siege weapons such as balistas and crossbows into the fortress, and killed the soldiers who tried to save themselves.

Other than soldiers who had rifles or ranged weapons, the volunteer troops could not face the enemy.

Meanwhile, the lovers of the 1st Cruiser Squad, Sidik and Fariz shot at the enemy with a pistol bullet that only a few grains left. The deputy commander of the 1st Cruiser Squad, Liben also put up a similar resistance, while checking on Nio's whereabouts.

However, Liben did not find Nio among the soldiers fighting the enemy. The uneasy feeling of not finding Nio made Liben unable to aim properly.

“Retreat to east side!”

Liben understood it was an order, and allowed the troops to regroup positions.

“Retreat! Backward!”

As Liben climbed the walls of the fortress, he saw the battlefield below. The conditions were terrible, the Expeditionary Force soldiers were forced to fight with swords and knives against the enemy. Among them, Nio fought with the sword and shield he snatched from the enemy officer he killed.

Nio's condition was just as miserable, part of his body had been covered by the blood of comrades and opponents. His field uniform absorbed a lot of blood, and made the young man very upset.

Nio had been separated long enough from his squad, and was fighting on the open battlefield with soldiers who had run out of ammunition and volunteer soldiers.

He suddenly realized, almost three years he had already joined the Student Army, one of the TNI commandos. Then, unexpectedly Nio was caught in this terrible battle, with less obvious rewards than money.

However, he did not care whether there was still Indonesia or not behind him. Nio could only continue to advance slashing at the enemy wearing thick armor, as he had already ‘adjur’ fought so far.

How can I fight even if the country I protect is unclear because the Gate is closed? Thinking about it made Nio's stomach nauseous.

From a layman's point of view, Nio and the other Student Army soldiers were heroes. Ever since the war with the other world began, they had survived on the battlefield. If they are still alive, they are smart enough to avoid death. They probably just did not want to die in vain without a fight, so decided to become a Student Army soldier.

They are tired and tired of being angry with the government that is willing to regulate about the Indonesian military. About weaponry, personnel, and logistics are all arranged by a group of people who want to be called ‘vice of the people’. But, thanks to the political elites meddling too much in sending troops to another world, this is what happened.

But, the Expeditionary Force was fortunately filled by brave Indonesian men and women who were trained to suppress their fears when fighting with the enemy. Some soldiers might choose this place to be their last resort, and their death was not a bad, but noble way of dying.

This is a landfill…

They were banished here and forced to fight until they died…

The reinforcements will never come…

This is the finish line for them, those young men will die here…

The Expeditionary Force soldiers did not even have such thoughts, but the volunteers were ‘pity’ towards those who thought that way.

The Expeditionary Force did not fight to protect anything. The fallen soldiers had a wish, which was to ask their surviving comrades to fight. They have a 1% chance of getting help.

There were many Expeditionary Force soldiers who did not know how to surrender.

If aid from Indonesia comes, they will again have a purpose to fight. It protects the people of the country, as well as the pigs of the political elite who order the youth to protect them.

Being a soldier definitely meant being ordered to the battlefield of death, with the aim of protecting others without knowing what was going on in the future. Even if the soldiers managed to survive, they would return to the battlefield of death next. They were practically ordered to die.

How big is this country called Indonesia? How rich is the nation? What can those corrupt political elite pigs give to the soldiers who are fighting here?

What can pigs ‘vice of the people’ do without President Suroso?

There are many young men who defend the future by fighting here. From the beginning they did not want to be sent to this other world. All they had was the order to fight desperately until the crushed body was chopped off by the enemy or trampled on by the enemy's giant monsters.

Although they were promised honor even if they managed to survive this war, the piglets never kept their promise.

If all the Expeditionary Force soldiers here were depleted, if the soldiers who were still fighting were to fall, they hoped that if any help came their families could be given safety and security, he said, and life is worth more than seeing the bodies of their children, husbands, wives, lovers destroyed here.

“Stop, you've been fighting too hard. My son..”

The voice that was unclear whether the one who said it was a woman or a man suddenly stung in Nio's mind. Of course Nio only considered if it was part of his hallucination due to lack of sleep.

Nio still slashed at the neck of the orc in front of him brutally, even though the words were still agitated. It was as if the voice would forever haunt Nio even if he died.

“Stop, Nio. You can rest now..”.

There was an endless battle in front of him, so Nio had no time to cry over the words that sounded in his head.

“Close gate! Don't let the enemy in!”

Giant catapults and enemy balistas continued to rain down on their artillery. As all the soldiers fighting in the open field heard the retreat command, the entire army moved quickly towards the eastern fortress gate before the gate closed.

However, soon after a burning stone flew in a parabolic pattern and struck the familiar soldier, be it the expeditionary Force, the volunteer forces, and the Alliance Forces.

The limbs of the soldier hit by the rock were immediately thrown, and another soldier's head hit the back of Nio's head which made him fall forward. The strange smell of pangang meat spread, and the volunteer soldiers lost their fighting spirit and stood glued together.

“Quick login!”

Zariv's angry voice echoed, as he ordered the volunteers to rush inside the fort. He had never experienced a battle as bad and brutal as this.

Nio managed to get into the fort after being dragged by two Expeditionary Force soldiers. When the east gate of the fort was about to close, the two gate guard soldiers collapsed after being hit by a 1 meter long arrow released by a soldier armed with a crossbow.

The Alliance forces, both human and monster warriors entered the fortress profusely. Soldiers are forced to do defensive battles by fighting at close range using swords and knives.

Edera desperately faced a large army of enemies, but the gates of the fortress were increasingly wide open. Even some monsters tried to destroy the walls of the fortress with their huge batons to widen the entrance of the troops.

Nio's only eye, his left eye was staring intently at the enemy who was increasingly freely entering the fortress.

“What do you guys do, keep fighting!”

Lux shouted loudly after slashing the head of an enemy human warrior, and ran to help his comrades.

With superb swordsmanship, Lux easily slashes and decapitates enemy soldiers.

Nio grimaced, gripped by an overly piercing fear and penetrating feeling. A deep madness had been etched into Nio's face.

The young man, Nio, stood up with the help of his sword, and slashed the goblin's leg

will hit his head. He then set his eyesight sharp, in hopes of finding one of the enemy troops.

“I told you, break the fool!”

That voice again.Nio had started to get fed up with the voice of someone who kept passing through his brain.

Nio fought against the enemy who decided to make him a target, and slashed and pierced the chest of anyone who was blocking him from searching for Rio.

**

The feeling if ‘win’ will finally come, is changed to ‘belief if victory has come’ by the 9th corps currently led by Rio. At this moment, Rio also had a bit of uneasiness if it happened to have to meet with Nio.

“Theodore, what's the enemy's reaction?”

“Yeah, they seem to have lost momentum in this battle. Rio, it's time!”

All his subordinates reported that the morale of the enemy was down, and the soldiers were already very eager to fight. The words of his subordinates made Rio smile thinly.

“Alright, troops and all heroes will make a total attack!”

It was finally time to do the long-awaited battle. Rio asked all his soldiers to not hesitate, and be confident in victory over the enemy.

“The power of the Expeditionary Force is exhausted, the steel chunks they call weapons are already rotten! Time for an all-out attack!”

The soldier responded to Rio's words with cheers, it was a cheer of excitement.

“All the troops advance, and attack their rotten fortress! Reach glory with your hands! Honor and glory are waiting for you!”

With thunderous cheers, Rio took the lead and started to run excitedly with the other heroes. The Alliance Army attacked the Expeditionary Force with fury, ostensibly to allay the frustrations since the arrival of the troops.

The troops led by Rio shouted like roars of ferocious beasts, and made the soldiers defending the northern side tremble.

The Expeditionary Force soldiers defending the northern flank were shocked by the surprise attack, and realized that the northern flank had become a fierce and deadly battlefield.

The soldiers of the Expeditionary Force stared at the flag of the Red and White fluttering on the north side of the fortress, and wished them the courage of the heroes of the past in defending the flag.

“Do not hesitate! Kill everything!”

“Free all enemies in front of you! Don't leave one!”

The morale of the Rio-led forces increased drastically after the shouts of the Hero of Lust and Hero of Envy.

With the number adrift very far, the troops defending the north side of the fortress could not fight back effectively.

Surging attacks three times a day exhaust the Expeditionary Forces and volunteer forces. Volunteer troops were nothing more than young cadets who were weak physically or mentally. Continuous enemy attacks deplete concentration, emotion, and reaction speed.

The fighting abilities of the heroes surpassed the elite soldiers of the Alliance Army. They easily threw down, and flew the Expeditionary Force soldiers and volunteer troops with their magic.

A wave of assaults of troops wearing strong, heavily armed armor broke through the north side of the fort. They attacked while swinging their swords, and made the Expeditionary Force soldiers and volunteer troops defeated. Soldiers were also frightened by the cavalry troops that charged at high speed and their deadly long spears.

**

“Holy Land belongs to us again!”

All the soldiers banded together to destroy and enter the Expeditionary Force fortress.

The fortress was attacked from all directions, and the enemy could not be contained anymore.

In this attack, the defense eventually lost. Alliance Army soldiers stab volunteers and Expeditionary Force soldiers who escape.

The eight Red and White flags fluttering at some point of the fortress were forcibly lowered by the Alliance soldiers with cheers.

Rio and his troops raided the north side of the fortress, and lowered the flag of the Red and White that was fluttering there, and replaced it with the Alliance flag. The troops defending this side lost their spirits when they saw this.

But, there was still one more flag that had not been lowered by them. A flagpole stood in front of the Expeditionary Force Command Headquarters, and thousands of soldiers defended here to defend the red and white cloth.

Nio along with other warriors fought with swords and other melee weapons with overpowered martial arts. Only the flag deserves to be defended when eight other Red and White flags have been replaced with Alliance flags.

Then, unknowingly dozens of soldiers defending the flagpole behind them were killed. It shocked Nio and the soldiers who were fighting to defend the flag behind them.

The only Red and White One fluttered, watching the youths defend it. Despite fighting such a huge army, should the Red and White be proud of the youth with the help of volunteers fighting for him.

The cause of dozens of soldiers to die suddenly was none other than the Hero of Anger, with his rifle weapon and Abadi Bullet magic.

Nio advanced along with the other remaining warriors to fight against the thousands of Alliance soldiers alongside the heroes. Nio's feeling was messy and showed a complicated expression as the heroes stood in front of him, and he stared intently at Rio who was standing at the very front.

The fight continued, but easily the soldiers defending the Red and White were beaten and many were killed.

Meanwhile, Nio was breathing heavily as Rio walked slowly towards him while carrying his magic rifle. The faces of the two of them showed seriousness to fight each other.

“Our power is not equivalent now. If I used my magic power, you would have already lost. So, I challenge you to a sword fight, Nio!”

The battle came to a halt while Rio shouted like that. When the battle begins with a duel, the troops must wait until one of the dueling parties dies before doing battle. However, the battle still continued when the two young men decided to fight.

Rio's condition still looks fine when challenging Nio to a fight. On the other hand, Nio was in a not-so-favorable condition, his entire body was filled with sharp weapon slash wounds.

But, in order to maintain a piece of red and white cloth behind him, Nio had to face this fight.

“You are now so arrogant huh, Rio. Are you really going to fight with me without using your magic?”

Nio was actually afraid to talk like that, but he just wanted to make sure what Rio would really fight with him without any magic power.

“If I use my magic, the fight will be very fast, and you will die soon.”

Nio gulped until his jakun moved up and down. Sweat ran down Nio's cheeks which were covered with dust and black stains.

Behind him, Nio felt that the fight was still continuing very fiercely.

Lux and Zariv work together to eliminate all of the Alliance's giant monsters. Edera nimbly leaped like a cat to slash the neck of the enemy warrior with her sharp and powerful claws.

After accepting Rio's challenge, First Lieutenant Maid Nio was ready for all the risks.

“I told you, you should just take a break!”

Again the voice of someone saying that sounded in Nio's brain again, and of course he ignored it again.

Rio looked at the exhausted Nio with a relaxed face, but Nio considered if the gaze underestimated his already very tired self.

Nio looked at Rio with resignation, while grasping the sword with both hands. Besides going to fight with his best friend ‘mantan’, Nio is still fighting with fate and waiting for the fate that will come to him during the fight later.

Although Rio looked much stronger than before, but Nio still saw a lot of gaps as Rio dashed fast towards him while carrying the sword in his right hand.

Nio took a heavy breath, and ran quickly to clash with Rio. Nio actually felt himself very pitiful when it came to fighting with Rio, his chance of living might only be as high as 5% when fighting the Hero of Anger.

Nio knew there was nowhere to run, even if he ran away he did not know where to go. Nio who forced himself to remain calm accepted the fate that made him resigned to the results of this fight.

For a while, Nio's memory of training with Rio played again. Most of the memories contained when Nio repeatedly defeated Rio while fighting martial arts and practicing swordsmanship.

But…

“I guessed it, you still have a lot of gaps even though you have become a hero, Rio..”.

Rio was not even aware of the attack that Nio was aiming at his neck, it was fortunate that he still had time to dodge Nio's lightning attack. The left side of Rio's neck was slashed by Nio's sword eyes, and drained blood.

Rio's chest grew even smoldering as Nio unexpectedly managed to injure him in one strike. He then stood up and looked at his troops who were still fighting with the Red and White defending soldiers.

Nio then turned his body around, and all he saw besides Rio who fell down was the Red and White Sang who had already dropped half a pole. But the enemy soldiers who managed to lower the flag were decapitated by Edera, and made the fighting spirit of the soldier increase and raise the flag again one full pole.

The troops that entered continuously from the fortress were extremely troublesome, and made a much greater destruction within the fort. The exhausted soldier was almost desperate.

Nio approached again Rio who was already standing up to continue his fight. He felt relieved after successfully injuring Rio, even though it was not enough to stop the fight of the two of them.

“I lost to you, Nio..”.

Nio stopped approaching Rio when he said that, yet it made Nio even more wary.

“But he'll beat you!”

Rio smiled widely when Nio did not realize there was someone behind him. Nio flinched when Rio said that, and turned his head back quickly.

But he lost quickly with the attacks of the people behind him.

Beautiful was already behind Nio as he walked up to Rio to end their fight. He planned to make Nio stop their fight, by attacking Nio using his magic arrow.

Nio who was hit by the light arrow belonging to Indah knelt on the ground, and looked at Indah with a hazy gaze. He was already too exhausted, and was increasingly suffering with injuries to his right shoulder.

Nio firmly gripped his right shoulder which was hollow due to the light arrow from Indah. The blood did not stop coming out even though Nio had already gripped his right shoulder very firmly.

“Sorry to hurt you, Nio.”

That was all he got from Indah after injuring him, and seeing the girl pass him by. He looked over from the left shoulder, and found Beautiful who helped Rio stand up.

“When it comes, you can rest now, son..”

The voice that flashed across Nio's mind started to clear the gender saying that. No stranger voice, according to Nio.

“Mr...!?”

Then, a moment later there were three sounds of explosions flying the Alliance Army soldiers. The huge explosion shocked Rio and Indah, and the troops defending the Red and White Sang.

After the big explosion, in the sky were seen 30 flying objects that issued a tail of smoke behind it.

It was a missile that was supposed to be launched with a rocket-launched vehicle. But the Expeditionary Force no longer had the vehicle because it was destroyed by the enemy.

Then, the rumbling sounds of war vehicle engines sounded very clear. Nio recognized the sound of one of the sounds of the fighting vehicle.

A moment later, a thunderous roar sounded from outside the fortress, and the distinctive roar of the cavalry troops sounded.

“Help…! Enemy help is coming!”

An Alliance Army soldier shouted out like that, and shocked the entire soldiers who were inside the fortress.

The Alliance Soldiers tried to escape upon hearing the news that the Expeditionary Force was getting help, and the soldiers just stared at them in confusion.

Some soldiers think they just misheard it because of the effects of sleep deprivation on the help they get.

But, 40 attack helicopters flashed above them, while releasing dozens of rockets towards the fleeing enemy forces.
