High School Soldier
Battle on the hill

The next few days, near the border between Tohora City and the capital of Arevelk Kingdom, 1915.

Thousands of Alliance soldiers came out from the five imperfect Gates that opened near Tohora City.

This is a familiar shadow to the Indonesian army that is affixed to the battlefield called the New World. He was the only member of the 12th Team to set out as aid to Arevelk's military forces that would counter-attack against the rebel forces. Nio had given the authority to lead the 12th Team for a while until he returned from helping Arevelk deal with the rebels.

Through the long, grueling, and painful war he fought during his four-year career as a TNI soldier, he gained an additional forging in this world.

Now, he had no idea what was going on near Tohora City that was not protected by the wall. The entire enemy used a weapon that emitted a semi-automatic explosive sound. Fortunately, there was not only him here, because of the thousands of Arevelk soldiers, hundreds of special knights of the Yekirnovo Kingdom, and the 1st infantry battalion of the Peace Army. Regarding the 1st infantry battalion, they came very quickly, so Tohora City was not destroyed by the enemies who had already evolved into a modern army.

“They're an Alliance, right? Have they evolved into World War 2 infantrymen?!” shouted Nio who was starting to regret being the only help from Team 12. Unfortunately, what he was facing right now was not just anti-Guild rebels, but thousands of Alliance soldiers who were already fighting in a PD2-style battle.

Even now, relentless fire from the enemy was heard, and the entire projectile passed through its shelter in the form of a tree trunk.

This damn battlefield is the most terrifying thing mankind has ever created. The sky at noon was indeed clear, but the scene instantly faded away and only a group of enemies were seen continuously raining down on Nio and the infantry battalion with their 7.62mm projectiles. This was another world, and Nio as well as the entire Peace Army army knew they were enemies using weapons from the past. However, the battlefield has now been overrun by firearms, mud, and blood swarming with disgusting flies.

Nio had no idea how could the enemy learn to use modern weapons in such a short period of time. However, he made up his own guess, and began to assume the battlefield of this world was the gate of hell.

He returned fire in semi-automatic mode, then took cover behind a tree trunk. He saw four soldiers of 4 heavy machine gun operators of the 1st Infantry Battalion bravely showering thousands of enemy soldiers with 14.5mm projectiles in 8,000 rounds per minute in open combat, and it was only protected by the twelve elite soldiers of Arevelk who used the armor of the Magical Steel.

The four elite Arevelk soldiers attempt to protect the machine gun operators despite hundreds of times of enemy projectiles hitting their super-powerful shields. It is an experience that will not be forgotten by them, as it is fighting in the open field against modern enemies alongside modern allies as well.

Arevelk's main force to deal with the rebels was not allowed to help, or they would be easy targets for the enemy. They would be the last wall if thousands of enemies turned out to successfully defeat Nio and the 1st Infantry Battalion Peace Forces. Given the number between the two armies is very far, and they only amounted to about 780 soldiers and consisted of four companies, including Nio, while the number of enemy soldiers is estimated to reach 6,000, and has used modern rifles.

Of the A and C Rifle companies that were on the front lines with their four heavy machine guns, it was the B and D Assistance Companies that did the fiercest fighting. The two Relief Companies launched 80mm laser guided missiles that could destroy APCs or medium tanks from their army's four shoulders with protection shots from hundreds of other personnel. Although the pelvic rocket launchers that the four soldiers used were very heavy, with the help of an attached exoskeleton it would make them just like carrying a load of 1 kilogram. A moment later, four long objects shot out with a flame tail behind him in extremely high speed.

The big explosion was created after four rockets shot as fast as mach 1 from the flank rocket launcher of the fourth infantry battalion soldiers hit the ranks of hundreds of enemy soldiers. The 10-kilogram warheads loaded on each rocket are designed to destroy armored vehicles, inflicting enormous damage on the enemy's side.

When the explosion occurred, simultaneously hundreds of limbs and organs scattered after being thrown in all directions. Unfortunately, that did not make the rest of the Alliance's forces surrender, and continued firing 7.62mm projectiles from their new rifle, the M1 Garand.

“They haven't given up yet?!”

“I can't believe this. They really like being blown up!”

“Those midget brain troops keep advancing towards us, they definitely want to make this place their graveyard!”

“If you want to die better in their own land, and not in the land of our allies, damn pigs!”

Nio's position was near the machine gun operator, and his job was only to carry out protection shots even though he was not a member of the 1st Infantry Battalion. So that he could hear the scolding of four TNI soldiers who moved backwards after blowing hundreds of enemies into small pieces.

There are quite a number of trees on the hillside that can be used as a refuge, as well as natural obstacles to protect the City of Tohora. As the city was on a plateau, and the battle was taking place at the foot of one of the hills near the city, white fog started to descend thickly.

Bullet flares shot from the barrel of a heavy machine gun with a reddish light and formed a fan pattern, so that the shots would spread out and kill more enemy soldiers. Although the falling fog was getting thicker, it was not a problem for the Peacekeeping troops who mostly took shelter behind trees or stones.

Still, the enemy rifle troops who continue to advance like absolutely no fear making soldiers forced to shoot them continuously from assault rifles and machines. This battle was a waste of limited ammunition.

The blood from the enemy flowed like a river, thus creating a red river on the hillside, and tens to hundreds of lifeless bodies of Alliance soldiers rolled on the fairly gentle hillside. When Nio peeked to do a counter-shot, he managed to kill two at once enemy soldiers, but after that all he saw was a hail of bullets from the enemy, again.

“Damn, why haven't they arrived yet?!” Nio grumbled at Hevaz's delay, and the Silent Assassins came to this battlefield.

However, despite their number of infantry battalions with the help of hundreds of elite Arevelk soldiers, the insane enemy riflemen did not make any significant damage, and injuring very few Arevelk soldiers restrains the movement of enemy soldiers.

They pushed the enemy powerfully using super strong shields and long spears, until some soldiers rolled down to unconsciousness or died instantly after their heads hit dozens of rocks located at the foot of the hill.

Nio remembered that at the top of the hill there were dozens of military magicians who were preparing spells for artillery magic, but the process they went through was too slow. Five mortars fired their ammo, and struck the scattered ranks of the Alliance forces to attack the squads defending the other side of the hill. However, it still did not stop their movement, even though the smoke from the explosion covered the field of view within the medium area. But, Nio could see flashes of light coming from the barrel of the enemy rifle trying to shoot at his comrades.

Fire-assistance vehicles were stationed on the other side of the hill, a 15mm light cannon and a 120mm mortar both attached to the tactical vehicle's platform, it does not have a stable place to shoot because of their location on a sloping hillside. Although both weapons are able to produce damage on the enemy side is quite large, but the risk of being toppled or something like that still exists due to the impact of the shooting.

Nio looked back after dozens of red and blue light paths drifted in a parabolic trajectory pattern, then hit the enemy ranks at the foot of the hill, thus producing a rain of human blood and flesh again after artillery magic produced an explosion equivalent to a 10-kilogram warhead.

Not allowing themselves to be obstructed by the cut of comrades' bodies, mud, and rocks that were on the battlefield shrouded by the stench of death, he said, they continued to move without any decent body armor past the corpses of their own comrades and trampled on them. They have strong legs to climb the hill in hopes of killing either the infantry batlyon soldiers or the Arevelk soldiers who helped. The courage and audacity of the thousands of remaining Arevelk troops opened Nio's eyes wide, they appear immortal despite remaining dead in a hollowed-out state after being hit by a 7.62mm projectile from an assault rifle and submachine gun as well as 14.5mm from an 81mm heavy machine gun and mortar. Nio now had a feeling of respect for the men of the Alliance, and admired their struggle even though it was clearly futile.

Explosives of hand grenades were thrown from dozens of infantry battalion soldiers. That melee attack was enough to destroy the bodies of the ten Alliance soldiers. However, the attack only made the battlefield decorated with the sound of dozens of explosions from grenades and mortars and a series of gunfire.

Almost all of the Alliance soldiers who had climbed the hill to attack them ended tragically due to the difference in strength that was hundreds of years away. The soldiers who were affected by the loud explosion were faced with unbearable pain and mental collapse, so some of the Alliance soldiers decided to shoot themselves in the head. Their actions put an end to the hope of perpetual struggle until the ‘otherworld’ troops return to their home world.

“Ngh! I gota! Shit!”

“Medical! Medical!”

Nio saw a nearby Arevelk contingent soldier get shot on his shoulder, and he immediately restrained the man's leg from continuing to roll down until the medical soldier arrived. He dragged the body of an army larger than him into his shelter amidst the roar of the battlefield. Since the soldier was wearing strong and heavy armor and other equipment that added weight, Nio had to desperately drag the body of the army of the Arevelk Kingdom.

Nio saw two soldiers from the medical squad galloping down the hillside cautiously and accompanied by protection shots from their comrades. Simultaneously, Nio saw one enemy platoon aiming at the two of them.

The medical team was the unit Nio respected the most, in addition to the unit he currently occupied, the Reconnaissance and Battle Corps. Arguably, the medical unit is to be believed no matter what happens, according to Nio. Whatever everyone's view of the medical unit, Nio still thinks that way.

Nio threw a smoke grenade, and caused a very blinding burst of light and caused the enemy to go blind for a moment before emitting an extremely thick white smoke.

A moment later, a machine gun operated by TNI soldiers fired hundreds of projectiles to finish off a platoon targeting two medical soldiers after the smoke grenade that Nio threw released thick smoke. In addition, Nio also did a support shot after seeing ten enemy soldiers trying to chase after the medical soldiers, and finished them all off with one projectile each.

A stretcher lifted by two medical soldiers led the Arevelk army to safety. They were both completely trusted to save the soul of the soldier.

With their incredible bravery, it was indeed fitting for the medical unit to be protected, as they were the ones who would save the other wounded soldiers.

Due to two medical soldiers treating an Arevelk soldier, where they were targeted by gunfire, Nio inevitably had to protect them. The enemy rained down on the rock that became their shelter with concentrated fire, and Nio lowered his head along with the two medical soldiers for not being able to retaliate against the attack. Taking cover behind a rock on standby, Nio and the two medical soldiers smiled weakly at each other as the enemy treated their shelter like a shooting target.

But, Nio's calmness only lasted not so long. After most of the enemy soldiers had run out of ammunition, came a much larger and more thrilling wave of attacks.

It was not a fire aid from the new cannon ‘Baja’ God with a caliber of 300mm or a barrage of fire from a 180mm caliber fire aid drone.

The 10,000-strong Arevelk cavalry bulldozed the entire Alliance army that was still on flat ground and had not had time to climb the hill, but they had run out of bullets. Meanwhile, Yekirnovo's elite knight line fired a barrage of 4mm-caliber gotri projectiles from their sniper rifles.

The cavalry warriors swung their long spears into the bodies of the Alliance troops who were now completely clad in metal armor. The enemy only wore green-colored clothes, without any metal protectors like the previous Alliance troops, and had a rifle weapon without carrying a shield. Without metal armor, the Arevelk warriors and the aid of the Yekirnovo could easily erode the enemy's strength little by little.

Perhaps some of the Alliance soldiers could open fire with the target of the elite knight Yekirnovo who was still in the process of recharging to make another shot, he said, but the protection of the soldiers of ‘otherworld’ can prevent them from dying in this battle. Then, thousands of pairs of horse paws and sword slashes and spear thrusts from the formidable Arevelk cavalry again brought down the morale of the increasingly modern Alliance forces by trampling the body, beheading, and, and pierced the chest with the spear and sword of each soldier.

“Other reinforcements are already here!”

Nio heard one of the North Korean soldiers say that.

A cloud of dust blackened the sky, and the wet ground caused the entire Peace Army's entire bot in charge of defending the dirty City of Tohora. Then, there was the sound of a shout that broke through the battlefield riots, and was much louder than the cries of the Alliance soldiers when the projectiles pierced through their bodies.

It was no wonder to Nio why he was wondering if this was a parallel world or a second world, and it could have been the atmosphere of World War 1 or 2 going on like this. Nio thought himself to be crazy, but the battle in front of him was real.

“Soldiers Gods! You are so loyal! You guys are so hard as jewels! You are strong as a dragon king! You guys are fast like bullets!”

The words that were issued from Hevaz and the Silent Assassins that had arrived a few seconds ago and instantly joined the battlefield by showing their great fight. Nio heard Hevaz humming like that, and made most of the soldiers instantly get their spirits back.

Fortunately, their help was Hevaz who was nicknamed ‘Goddess Fly’ by the Air Force Peace Unit pessel, so no one laughed at the girl's verse.

“Hei! Do the suppressing shot! We have had time to do it!” nio's shout was heard by some platoon and company commanders, so they connected the link for the entire army to hear the instructions from Nio without the man's knowledge of course.

Most of the officers understood and knew that Nio did not want to get an order to lead a company or an army slightly larger than that. So that they took advantage of this battle so that the entire army heard the strategy that Nio said.

After this ongoing battle and helping Arevelk deal with the rebels is over, Nio plans to apply for leave if the requirements are met. Nio feels himself stuck in this battle as punishment for abandoning his team and giving the responsibility of giving the command to Hassan. But, if all the requirements are met, Nio still feels he must get a leave of absence of at least three days.

Dozens of heads separated from his body was a sight that Nio would see if it involved Hevaz at every fight. Meanwhile, the Silent Assassins were moving so agile and nimble, that it was impossible for the Alliance army to aim and shoot them. Sharp claws, daggers, and small arrows as their mainstay weapons killed dozens of Alliance soldiers since their arrival here using Hevaz teleportation magic.

After praying according to each other's religion and beliefs to succeed, Nio and the hundreds of Peace Army soldiers ran while shouting their might down the hill while strafing fire towards the enemy who stood in confusion on the slopes and foothills. Only a person who had experienced the horrors of a battle like this could come up with a plan like this. There was a strangeness felt by Nio, that hundreds of 1st Infantry Battalion soldiers ran even though he did not give orders.

Nio still felt fear, even though there were no snipers on the enemy side.

A young officer, a war veteran in this world, he is extraordinarily wild! For the entire Student Army assigned to this world, they made Nio their role model. As for the Arevelk and Yekirnovo soldiers who had heard that Nio had made the Hero of Anger dying, Nio was a warrior king and adored him.

The rumor that Nio would suddenly run forward while the fight was still going on even though the risk of dying was huge was true, even though it had only happened when he was assigned to this world. Yes, to Hevaz, the soldiers of Arevelk and Yekirnovo as well as some of the soldiers of the Student Army and his subordinates in Team 12, he was an army that had great potential in the future, he was the one who had great potential in the future, and he is the one who will lead an army to victory in a great war in the future.

“Hey, you guys are happy with this, right?! You guys have fun, right?!”

His words were filled with a terrifying fury, he slashed the head and chest of every enemy that decided to fight against him.

First Lieutenant (Student Soldier) Nio Candranala bared his fangs as dozens of enemy soldiers aimed at him. He instantly slashed every hand of the enemy that raised the rifle, and made his enemy die slowly from blood loss.

Alliance wants to get ‘people foreseen’. In other words, this war happened because they heard that Nio was alone in the Arevelk region still using traditional weapons, while the Alliance was already using modern weapons. Most of them worshipped the Goddess of Death and the God of War, but they were trying to kill both figures in one body. Gods cannot die, but Guilds are with him!

Nio killed the enemy, and the enemy killed his comrades. Then, the great First Lieutenant avenged his comrade's death at that very moment with his sword and carambit, while he chose to rest his rifle.

There were thousands of people dead on this hill, as well as hundreds of kilograms of explosives used to defend the city from enemy incursions.

“You jerk, another world person!”

Nio shot the head of the Alliance soldier who said that in front of him in a dying state ten times using his pistol. His face showed a cold expression, and the blood that soiled his face and clothes were patterned camouflage forest of TNI pride. The blood of his enemies dripped from the tip of his sword, and Nio and his comrades ended this battle in less than a day.
