The Alliance did not send assistance in the form of several dragon and wyvern rider troops for its troops who were fighting with small groups of enemies. However, two medium-sized dragons were seen behind the troops. The handlers of the two dragons caressed their huge bodies to keep calm and obey their orders.

Between the two medium-sized dragons, one was dark red and one was black. It reminded Nio with a battle against two flying lizards called ‘kings of fire’ dragons. The scales and the ferocious aura of the fantasy beasts they were emitting made Nio think how difficult it was to fight the flying lizard with scales as strong as steel. At the very least, the two dragons were thirty percent smaller than the two fire dragon kings.

Two fire dragons were twenty meters tall, while the average wild dragon was between nine and eighteen meters tall. Then, the wyvern has a smaller body, which is about three to four meters high. Therefore, dragons cannot be used for battles that require agile movements considering their large bodies, so wyverns are more often used in the air force of this world.

“What are you guys worried about?”

Nio tries to tempt all those who he does not believe in the help of the enemy in the form of two medium-sized dragons. Edera and Hevaz are seen as normal as the two flying lizards get closer to the border.

“Of course!” the entire 12th Team and the crew of the three helicopters replied in unison and sounded irritated and nervous after the two flying dragons got closer to them. Actually, some of them wanted to curse Nio because he did not say if the enemy had a dragon.

However, Nio's experience of ever encountering a dragon king of this world was unknown to its members, so they could only hope that person had a good plan to deal with the giant flying lizard until help arrived.

From the beginning Nio did not estimate if the enemy had the help of air power. The plan was to rely on the aviators' capabilities of all three helicopters, then run to let the relief forces clear the rest.

The two dragons spread their wings wide, and quickly approached the three attack helicopters that were trying to attack them with 40mm rockets and bullets.

The two dragon handlers hit the bottom of the necks of the two dragons using a stick that at the end was fitted with a kind of nail. The two dragons prepared to spurt fire onto the two iron dragonflies. The third crew of the helicopter immediately turned back frantically to stay away from the attack of the two flying lizards. The dragon handlers were pleased with their actions which managed to make the three iron dragonflies retreat, but all was not as they had expected…

**

Two high-speed flying objects with smoke tails formed a snake-like trail in the air and then crashed into the two dragons, and the handler fell down and free-falled to the ground from a height of 40 meters. However, the two dragons turned out to be tough enough to deal with that ‘otherworld’ weapon, and they were seen still flying chaotically in midair.

The two fighter jet pilots were wondering about the size of the two dragons after launching an air-to-air missile that had been locked onto a target. According to the information they got, the Expeditionary Force had fought with flying fantasy beasts with a height of 28 meters and a wingspan of 30 meters. However, the two dragons they faced were now smaller than the confessions of some former Expeditionary Force personnel.

Both pilots can guess if the 12th Team and the three relief helicopters have fired a huge amount of ammunition to deal with the thousands of enemies that continue to move to the border line. The two pilots agreed to launch the air-to-air missile again after seeing the two thick scaly flying lizards still flying through the air. According to them, the dragons with scales as thick as the armor of the main battle tank and the ‘cheap’ missiles used by the Peacekeeping Air Force Unit are what makes their previous attacks still not enough.

Once close to the target, the trigger of the air-to-air missile explosion was activated, and the two dragons were hit by the explosion again. However, if the attack could finish them off in a single strike, this job would not be too difficult. But the scales of the two dragons turned out to be still tough enough to deal with the explosion.

One fighter jet pilot from the Indonesian contingent locked one of the red dragons with his HUD, and pressed the trigger. The gatling-type automatic cannon fires its 20mm ammunition at a speed of 8,000 shots per minute. The lead storm that attacked one of the dragons made the red dragon fly around in circles like a helicopter that had a nuisance.

(HUD (Head Up Display system, is a transparent display that presents data without requiring the user to see the target far from the user's point of view.)

The same thing was done by the fighter pilots of the Air Peace Forces Unit from the Russian contingent, and caused the two dragons to lose their balance and ability to stay in the air, and they fell to the ground.

Later on, the two dragons proved that their reputation was not just for weapons. They then got back up and spread their wings in preparation for another takeoff. Even without a handler, their defensive and fighting abilities were excellent. Even though they are captive dragons, they are still members of the ‘Flying Lizards’ race, and the Alliance claims that their air force is the ‘Lord of Heaven’ with the number of flying lizards and their aviators reaching into the thousands.

Meanwhile on the ground, a fight between a small group of 12th Team and thousands of Alliance troops still occurred.

All team members disembark from the vehicle, except for the automatic gunner who is assigned to operate the weapon from inside the vehicle, and conduct relief fire. Hendra, Nio, and Arif rain down on the enemy with explosives fired from grenade launchers, and other members protect them by shooting at the enemy. The anti-tank rocket launcher that the team had left two units, Nio then ordered Yogi and Agus to use the weapon.

Yogi and Agus were hesitant to use this weapon for enemies who only wore metal armor with spear weapons and long swords. They think this weapon has an impact that is too brutal if used on troops with technology adrift thousands of years from the TNI. However, they did not want to get scolding and punishment from Nio, as well as they did not want to fail at their first battle in this world. They did not care if this special weapon to destroy the main battle tank was used to deal with the Alliance's armored cavalry troops.

The new members saw the two of them carrying a disposable anti-tank rocket launcher after retrieving it from the second and third tactical vehicles. Before shooting 'em, Yogi and Agus check the trigger of the explosion and set the weapon to ready-to-fire mode. If the weapon hits the enemy's cavalry, there will be pieces of human and horse flesh on the battlefield as a result of the explosion produced by the anti-tank rocket.

Enemies with more than four thousand approaching the border line that Team 12 defended, all armored vehicles protect Yogi and Agus who still set the target. As if not knowing the effect of the tank-destroying weapon, the enemy cavalry continued to move valiantly accompanied by a shout while lifting the spear and sword upwards.

“What are you doing?! Quickly fire before they approach the border line!” in the end Yogi and Agus still get scolding from Nio because they both took too long to aim.

Nio stood at a distance of ten meters from the border line while firing a bullet from his rifle. He had spent two magazines because he had to protect both members who took too long to aim for targets that clearly reached thousands of it.

“Shoot fast, moron!” the one who shouted the word was not Nio, but Bima who looked like a person who had let out a rage that had been held back for centuries.

**

This army only had two commanders, as the other three had died after being hit by an attack from the enemy. They could only concoct formations carelessly while advancing in the hope of crossing the border line to destroy a small number of enemies, as well as avenge their three commanders who died before.

The few remaining archers raised their bow in the rain of lead, and fired arrows from a distance of one kilometer from the border line so they were sure they would not miss. However, one of the iron dragonflies released a burst of lead and killed dozens of archers who had carried out the attack.

“What are you doing, My Lord? You should take immediate cover.”

Nio saw Hevaz flying six meters above him as well as Edera who had been in cat mode standing beside him. He was always shooting at enemies trying to get close to the border line, so he did not realize that there were hundreds of arrows on it.

His entire subordinates shouted at Nio to take cover under the vehicle or in a safe place from the rain of arrows. However, before Nio ran from his current position, Hevaz fluttered his giant scythe towards the arrow that shot downwards, and threw down all the arrows so that none of them hit the 12th Team.

They were fascinated for a moment after seeing the protection Hevaz had put in, but they still had to repel the enemy's movements and would praise Hevaz's actions later.

Later, Nio gives way for Yogi and Agus to launch an anti-tank rocket.

They both do not know what the enemy's purpose is to fight with Indonesia and its allies, but they still cannot let the enemy cross the border even though they are only armed with swords and long spears. Yogi and Agus shouted like crazy and launched rockets that shot at a speed of 3,000 meters per minute.

They both fired their rockets within a distance of more than a kilometer so it was impossible to miss. After the rocket booster ignited for a while, the anti-tank warhead hit one of the best-passioned horsemen and exploded, filling the border zone with a thick cloud of smoke.

The warrior wearing the finest armor was one of the most beautiful commanders, his body instantly turned into pieces of flesh and his armor into pieces of metal. The resulting shockwave thickened the surrounding soldiers, and fragments flying at high speed struck dozens of other soldiers and left them dead instantly.

However, there were still thousands of Alliance soldiers who continued to advance while shouting their hatred towards their enemies. Thousands of cavalry were further daunted after the great explosion just now, but their hatred for the enemy grew even greater and almost defeated common sense.

Flesh and metal plates flew everywhere, and dozens of soldiers thrashed in pain. However, no one wanted to stop the battle now, and decided to leave behind the injured comrade.

Nio put up his last magazine, he did not have time to take the additional magazines to the storage tent.

As he made several shots, rumbling sounds rang out from the back of the 12th Team campground. A moment later, the imperfect Gate opened and immediately took out hundreds of cavalrymen carrying the war flags of Yekirnovo and Arevelk.

“Why are they helping? Wait...who told them our situation?”

Nio's face showed an unfathomable expression of confusion, and he was taken aback in earnest. Each squad of Arevelk and Yekirnovo infantry and cavalry came out of the imperfect Gate 20 meters in diameter. Nio ordered his members not to attack them, and said that the entire army that came out of the magic object was a partner.

“Why did they choose to send out Yekirnovo and Arevelk troops? Did they decide to send only two fighter jets?”

Some of them seemed to be in disbelief with what Nio said, but they had seen even more shocking things.

All the horsemen who were seen were women passing through them at high speed, some of them carrying large boxes on their backs. It was the Barisan knights of the Roses, and they were going to make an attack first with their flagship bowsprit rifles.

The entire 12th Team members looked at the knight horsemen with admiring faces, moreover all of the knights from Yekirnovo they saw were women with sniper rifles. Still, they imagine the impact that a sniper rifle produces is not as severe as a 7.62mm bullet from their assault rifle.

Sniffer rifles were not the main weapon of the elite Yekirnovo troops, they still relied on long swords and spears for close and medium combat. They used the sniffer rifles to make up for shortcomings in their arsenal, with the Yekirnovo military having only a small number of cannons, roughly less than 10. So they dubbed the sniper rifle as ‘Tandang Meriam’ because both fired projectiles even though they were smaller than cannon bullets.

Patiently, the Arevelk troops waited for the female knights of Yekirnovo to take their action with their new weapons. Sigiz carried an elite magician with a total of 500 soldiers, and all of them were ready to release magic ‘artileri’.

The filler quickly inserted gunpowder from the end of the gun barrel, then compressed it with a special stick before inserting a marble-sized metal ball into the barrel. After making preparations including turning on the trigger axis, the refiller gave the rifle that was ready to be fired to the gunner. Gunners numbering in the hundreds were aiming at targets that were constantly moving towards them . Sheyn was in the vanguard of becoming the supreme commander of his army, and calmly ordered his subordinates to remain patient until the enemy was at an effective firing range to produce a large attack impact.

Sheyn who had not given the order to shoot had of course made Nio slightly fretted, and he ordered the automatic cannon operator on the panzer to prepare a protective shot for the Sheyn knight.

“Mr Nio, please allow me to help.”

Edera looked at Nio with a sweet pleading face, the same thing Hevaz did. But that will not make Nio change his decision.

“Too dangerous for the two of you who do close combat. At least, wait until Queen Sheyn attacks, then you can help Queen Sigiz's troops after.”

Moments later…

“The enemy is already in the kill zone, destroy them. Shoot!”

Shortly after their queen's order, hundreds of marble-sized metal balls were fired from the Yekirnovo Rose Barrow's crossbow rifle, and they resisted the jolt from the impact of the gunpowder explosion that pushed the metal ball.

Snail rifles do not have high accuracy like assault rifles belonging to the contingent of ‘otherworld’, so they need to shoot from a distance close enough to the enemy ranks. Although it was a very risky thing, Sheyn was confident to Nio that the young man had prepared protection for his troops.

Most metal balls hit the front of the horse's body, causing them to fall and causing their employers to be thrown. Some metal balls managed to hit the bodies of enemy soldiers, and pierced through the bodies after hitting the metal armor protecting them. Some soldiers who had high fighting spirit rose again after being thrown from their horses that were hit by gunfire from the Yekirnovo shooting troops. They ran as fast as they could, but bad luck liked them so much that their bodies were hollowed out after the metal ball fired again hit them.

The refiller gave the rifle that was ready for use after the gunman made the first shot. The explosive sound of the weapon caused great curiosity for the members of Team 12, and the three helicopter crews felt unable to stay still when help had arrived.

The three helicopters launched the rest of the rockets towards the enemy ranks and the automatic weapon gunners swept through the middle ranks of the enemy trying to escape.

**

After ten rounds of fire and reducing the number of enemies, the Roses of the Yekirnovo Kingdom assigned the task to Sigiz's Arevelk contingent. Sheyn met Nio who was looking at the action of his troops with a look of admiration.

Nio looked at the shoulder rifle on Sheyn's back, and was curious about the feeling when shooting using the weapon.

“Thank you for coming, Queen Sheyn. Your action is amazing, as always.”

Several male members of the 12th Team saw a woman with a scar on her face talking to their captain. They were all picky when it came to dealing with women, so they let the girl talk to Nio (after seeing the former face on Sheyn).

Although Sheyn's heart beat rapidly as she set out and faced the enemy here, but her detachment felt even faster after she heard those words from Nio. He tried to hide his nervous face as much as he could, but the words of some of his subordinates who teased Sheyn interfered with his efforts.

Meanwhile, Sigiz who saw Sheyn had spoken to Nio when he had to face the rest of the enemy forces felt like quickly annihilating the entire enemy, then talked about some things with Nio.

Edera ran fast with Arevelk's infantry contingent after obtaining permission from Nio, with Hevaz flying a few meters above them while carrying his giant scythe.

“Release Magic ‘Artilleri’ you, proud witch Arevelk!”

“””””””””Ya!!!””””””””

The loud noise of the Arevelk warriors shook the hearts of the rest of the Alliance forces which had been reduced by a great deal. Their soldiers who were only lightly wounded had to keep fighting, yet some of them still had the feeling of escaping. However, after seeing their comrades being finished off by a strange weapon on the iron dragonfly, those who had plans to escape decided to stay against it because the result they got would be the same.

The barrage of red and dark blue colored light paths pounded the front row of the rest of the Alliance forces, and killed dozens of soldiers in a single wave of attacks. The ground was noticeably shaking after the second Magic Artillery was launched, although the attack had the power of half of the explosive impact the tank's bullets produced.

“Why are there Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingent teams here?” ask the pilot from the Indonesian contingent.

“Who cares, the more help the better. Hey, isn't that the Flying Goddess?”

The Russian aviator saw Hevaz who slashed a scythe at his opponent's head quickly.

“Really! But I don't want to back down now.”

“So, we'll help him?”

On the ground, Sigiz faced the rest of the Alliance forces who were already far fewer than his troops. Sigiz raised his spear high after releasing the last Magic Artillery. A small wind was felt by Sigiz, as if it was going to propel his fighters.

“Destroy! Don't let them touch our allies!”

Amidst the noise of the battlefield, a mysterious wind carried the voice of the girl across the battlefield in order to be heard by her entire army.

Thousands of Arevelk contingent troops crossed the battlefield after crossing the border. They shouted the spirit of war. After all, in this world fighting each other across border lines was common, most wars were caused by it.

Sigiz's luminous spear eyes were red after being lifted up high, and a calm wind swirled around him. The wind swirled around the troops, making all the arrows that the enemy shot down onto the ground.

His army archers drew arrows while riding horses and released arrows, the rain of arrows resulted in dozens of enemies being pierced by arrows and falling motionless. It also resulted in the fighting spirit of the troops decreasing to the most basic level.

Nio was amazed when the Arevelk contingent led by Sigiz cleared the remaining enemy of less than 3,900 soldiers.

“Don't worry Mr. Nio, this war will be over soon. So that the Change of Years ceremony you can attend.”

Those were the words that convinced Sigiz to immediately clear the enemy troops, and quickly meet Nio who witnessed it.

The two armies then attacked each other.

The spears of the two Alliance soldiers were directed from right and left Sigiz.

Sigiz's horse skillfully dodged the attack. Sigiz raised his spear, and with two lightning strikes, blood flowed from the necks of the two Alliance soldiers.

His brownish hair was waving in the wind in the border zone. Every time Sigiz swung his spear, a fountain of fresh blood from the enemy he made.

The archers of the Arevelk Kingdom troops continued to fire arrows, and subverted dozens more enemies. The formation and the large amount they were proud of were gone in an instant.

The cavalry emerged from behind the alliance army ranks, and surrounded them. The enemy was shocked by the attack and fought back frantically when it realized they were surrounded from both directions.

Zariv was in the cavalry line after parting from the ranks of the elite magicians. He raised a dagger that doubles as a means of killing enemies and a magic wand. He started saying what he called ‘mantra’.

He wants to end this war immediately before the ‘indeed’ relief force arrives, or his queen and Sheyn will be rebuked for sending aid without permission.

Finished chanting a series of spells that required long words, Zariv raised the sword of the slain enemy with his magic, and launched it towards the enemy fighting the Arevelk warriors.

The sword shot out like an arrow, but its reduced sharpness was unable to injure the body of the enemy warrior. Zariv thought about how his attack could pierce through the enemy's body.

Then, he thought that fusing his attack with an explosion was enough to result in a crushed impact.

A sword raised the Zariv magic impact arena, and floated in front of him, Then a series of bluish-colored transparent magic rings surrounded the sword hilt.

Zariv launched the sword with magic, and when it touched the body of the enemy warrior, he detonated his magic ring. The ring blast pushed the sword and pierced through the metal armor-protected enemy body.

He then raised some swords belonging to the enemies killed on the battlefield, even though the swords were in a state of disintegration. Then, a sword of tens floated behind Zariv's back, and seemed to follow every move of the girl.

And now, dozens of swords were hovering above the heads of the enemy soldiers he was targeting, then being blasted at full speed from Zariv's strength.

From a distance, Team 12 and the Rose Line Sheyn saw dozens of swords with magic rings surrounding the hilt, as if the sword was hung with transparent strings.

“You annoying enemies, die!”

With a crude saying spell that could not be called a spell, the sword fell like rain towards its target.

The enemy suddenly realized that they were caught in a rain of swords, and this was no joke. They frantically fled.

The Alliance soldiers who felt themselves to be the target of running or racing horses as fast as possible, some of those who tried to save themselves fell hard to the ground.

Although the target was fleeing, it would automatically chase after their target, so the chances of the enemy dying were huge. Dozens of swords flew to the target perfectly. The swords continued to chase after the self-rescuing target, and then pierced through their metal armor, yet it was not enough to finish off the enemy. A moment later the magic ring surrounding the sword hilt exploded.

The explosion creates a thrust and launches the sword into the body of the target. Many of the targets in the sword condition were poking from the back to penetrate the chest despite having been protected with metal armor. All the targets were killed with Zariv's new magic, with the body stuck in the sword of their slain comrade.

“That magic should be banned right?”

Sigiz was goosebumps with the impact resulting from the new magic Zariv mastered. If the Great Witch was here, perhaps the grandmother would immediately punish Zariv for using the dangerous magic used to finish off the enemy.

**

“Oy! Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingents included help?”

The entire relief helicopter arrived, and the entire crew was in a state of confusion after seeing the unbalanced battle between the rest of the Alliance Forces and the Arevelk contingent.

“It's not that good? We can finish off that big lizard, and hand the ground battle to Team 12 and other help.”

Then…

“Blowout ~ now!”

Two 81mm mortar artillery pieces exploded on the heads of two dragons that had been in a state of losing half of their power. The surrounding ground and air, including the two dragons were shaken by the rumbling explosions, and the attacks continued to come without a momentary pause. A large explosion was also heard by Arevelk's contingent troops who were still fighting with the rest of the Alliance's forces. Seeing their two great dragons bombarded endlessly, most of the Alliance soldiers began to lose hope and drop their swords (sign of surrender).

The 3rd Company of Peace Forces tasked with securing the 22nd Border Zone sent out half their forces, including a fire relief vehicle armed with a 155mm Self-Propelled howitzer cannon. Then, help ‘indeed’, which is five attack helicopters firing anti-– 40mm cannon that sprayed on both dragons.

On one of the attack helicopters, the commanders of the Arevelk Kingdom forces, Zvail, and some of Yekirnovo's top military officers covered their ears, with their shocked expressions when they saw the crippling shot of the two medium-sized dragons belonging to the Alliance.

“What do they do? I have not seen their attacks at all!”

“Could it be some kind of magic?”

They did not realize that this rumbling sound was a sign of an attack on a target a few kilometers away.

However, the cannonballs from the howitzer cannons mercilessly blew up the black-coloured dragon body. The sound of explosions produced seemed to be able to split the battlefield ground.

“Amazing strength of Indonesian troops.”

Zvail the commander of the Kingdom of Arevelk sat on one of the attack helicopters, and through his binoculars he watched the battlefield.

“Ya-Yang Mulia Sigiz?! Geez, why did he come to fight?”

Zvail felt he had to apologize to the Peacekeeping General after returning to the fort. He could not let Sigiz get into trouble after sending troops to the team guarding the 21st Border Zone. Sometimes Zvail feels that Sigiz's behavior does not reflect his age of 60 years.

The battlefield was covered by smoke generated by the explosion of cannon and mortar shells, and from above the helicopter crew and its passengers could see him surrounded and pounded by explosions and artillery destruction attacks.

“This is a miracle, we are very lucky to ally with a very strong country.”

The noise in the helicopter cabin was so great that people had to shout to hear. So, the words of one of Yekirnovo's generals sounded like a little boy whining about being bought ice cream by his mother, and the helicopter crew next to him could only answer as he could.

“We are also lucky to be in this new world, Sir!” answer one of the helicopter crew while nodding.

“Hey, show us what you have other than this!”

The crew communicated to two other attack helicopters and ordered, “Alright, Air Hunters 4 and 5, hit targets in the form of giant flying lizards!”

Thus, two Russian and North Korean-flagged attack helicopters tilted slightly forward and advanced at maximum speed. Both attack helicopters shifted to the attacking position, and then launched their air-to-ground missiles.

The missile is designed to destroy the main battle tank. As the missiles shot out from the sky and struck the backs of the two dragons, the resulting explosion tore through their flesh.

The dragon scales that were famous for their toughness, were smashed easily. Blood and flesh gushed out in all directions, and after another attack of two to three anti-tank missiles, the two dragons were dismembered.

**

Thus ended the battle in the 21st Border Zone.

The people from the 3rd Company approached the bodies of the two dragons to verify the deaths of the two flying lizards. Both fighter jets flew back to base after the battle ended.

After that, the soldiers descended from the five attack helicopters and gathered the rest of the surrendered Alliance soldiers. Eventually, this battle completely ended after the rest of the Alliance Army that numbered less than a thousand surrendered.

The Indonesian contingent, aka the TNI, can be sent for disaster relief operations, respectfully collecting the bodies of dead Alliance soldiers for burial. Moreover, they transported the corpses of the two dragons for research purposes. They were transporting the corpses of dragons under a large transport helicopter that flew off without a hitch.

Nio and the rest of his team were leaning against each other as they watched the activity of the relief force before their eyes.

Hevaz and Edera rested on Nio's shoulder, while the entire men who saw it activated their rifles into full automatic mode and were ready to fire into Nio's head. As for Sigiz and Sheyn they leaned on Nio's back. The absence of Lux in this place used Zariv to sleep on Nio's knees.

For Lux, her being not involved in this battle was a betrayal of her. Nio guessed that the girl was about to go berserk at the headquarters, and nagged every soldier he met.

**

Meanwhile…

“Why the girl?”

Three Indonesian contingent soldiers saw Lux sitting down. However, they immediately stepped away from Lux's face after the girl looked at them with a sharp gaze, as if to say, “What's a wander?! Want me to kill?!”

He intends to crash Sigiz after Arevelk's contingent forces return, and will hold him accountable for being left behind and his chance to meet Nio diminished.

**

Both joy and sorrow require energy. In their exhausted state, Team 12 and the entire relief force had no energy to move. The only thing they did was sit down and watch the relief troops clear the battlefield.

Although there were many girls who used her body as a resting place, she felt that there was no problem whatsoever. He also did not care about the male members and some of the women who were looking at him with gazes of wanting to kill him.
