High School Soldier
Chirping, but much more sadistic

The day of sending additional troops to the company defending a post in the Yekirnovo Garrison arrived. All soldiers prepare their own weapons, the holo display on the helmets of all soldiers shows the personal condition and condition of the battlefield. Most people sneer at the large, yet primitive number of enemies.

Unlike the people who look down on the enemy, Nio said, “I don't want to miss anyone anymore. That is, do not let one of you die from arrogance, like they” while pointing at a group of soldiers who laugh at the enemy.

“We have been together since the beginning of the formation of a special team. Saying goodbye is hard, right?” Zefanya said that, and Nio responded by looking at the top of the helicopter cabin while nodding and smiling.

There were many questions that the Russian girl addressed to Nio, but conditions did not support her. The battle that might break out made Nio order all his subordinates to prepare themselves, instead of relaxing and relying on technology to defeat the enemy.

He lowered his head, as a courtesy, gratitude, as well as hiding a girl's fondness towards Nio who was battered protecting her and the rest of the team. It might be overkill, but Zefanya felt she had to do it. There were many Russian soldiers and powerful allies he had met, but Nio was different.

Containers of ammunition, supplies, and living necessities for a month for all 002 Aid Company personnel and 12th Team lined up behind the cabins of large transport helicopters. That would indicate that the message of the troops in the Yekirnovo garrison about the enemy moving to their post was not a lie, and the fight might break out.

Kim Baek-Ki came up to Nio, and said, “Can we talk for a while, Lieutenant Nio. You too, deputy commander of the 12th Team.”

The man's face made Nio uncomfortable, but it was different from the gaze of Baek-Ki's subordinates regarding his physique. The North Korean officer's words sounded as if he was taking Nio and Hassan to an emergency meeting and needed very quick and precise decision-making.

Nio and Hassan stood up, and followed Kim Baek-Ki to the back of one of the containers.

“About a message sent by one of the Peacekeeping Company in Yekirnovo, the enemy forces moving worried me.”

“Once we come, the welcome possibility is not the post commander, and we will directly fight.”

Hearing Nio's calm words, it was as if he was setting off for an ordinary battlefield, making Baek-Ki somewhat uneasy.

“We're going there to be a temporary extra team, right? We can't avoid a fight,” Hassan connect.

“I checked all my subordinates. The result, they worry about.”

Baek-Ki's way of talking is suspicious, making Hassan very curious. Meanwhile, Nio understood the meaning of the words of the commander of the 002 Aid Company.

The three of them could still hear the sound of laughter from a number of subordinates of Kim Baek-Ki, which so upset Nio.

“They are very stupid, Major. Because it considers the enemy still weak as before.”

“As you said, Nio. When our order was sent to one of the posts in the Yekirnovo Garrison, they laughed, and thought the fight that would be faced would be easy. They actually consider it unnecessary to deploy many troops, and will win easily with just one missile attack.”

“They seem to want the start of the American movement, and make the issue of HAM if their desire to launch missiles is fulfilled,” Hassan said with a worried face.

Kim Baek-Ki's goal in getting Nio and Hassan to speak is to prevent his subordinates' stupid confidence. In the end, it was very difficult to restore the common sense of his subordinates, and he only hoped that his entire army would struggle while still caring about the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy.

The hologram screen on the large transport helicopter cabin is filled with thousands of red dots that continue to move to the post of one of the companies in the Yekirnovo Garrison, indicating the presence of enemies. The number of points continued to increase, and the distance between these additional troops with their destination was only 5 kilometers. The post, which was at one of the border points between Yekirnovo and the Luan Empire, was destroyed and was waiting for relief troops.

The central battlefield management system that obtains information from the outpost sends various information about the invading enemy.

The Alliance's heavy infantry filled the frontlines. Behind them was a mixed cavalry unit consisting of an army of ordinary horsemen, heavy cavalry with thick armor, and rifle-wielding horsemen. Five kilometers behind the force was the main enemy force, with the same sequence. Based on that brief information, it was possible that the Alliance's forces numbered over 100,000 soldiers.

It was clear the Alliance was trying to repeat human wave tactics such as their first raid on the TNI Expeditionary Force. However, the central control did not include the enemy's tactics and their objectives after the attack, and only advised tactics to confront the Alliance.

Nio thought they were deploying a large army to a post that was defended by an army as large as a company, not only because the company only numbered less than 300 soldiers, but they deliberately fished and challenged the troops in Girinhi Fort, Girinhi Fortress, the closest facility to the post.

Nio clicked his irritated tongue. Because once the 002nd Aid Company and the 12th Team that had great power in Girinhi Fortress were deployed to help the friends out of the nest, the Arevelk troops in the fort would lose their help with their great strength. The massive attack on the post was just bait, and the other Alliance forces were probably preparing to storm Girinhi Fortress.

“We will land in 5 minutes. The battlefield was extremely chaotic, and the comrades' forces were almost destroyed. Please prepare!” said Nio with a loud tone.

The battlefield management each unit commander received made them say the above.

All the soldiers loaded magazines on their rifles, put on personal protective gear, and prayed.

Nio put on a flat, cold, gripping face. Causing Hevaz, Sigiz, and Zariv who have the ability to feel the aura of others to put on a gloomy face, and difficult to breathe.

“Ah... I will die, right?”

The company commander who complained was overheard by Nio who jumped to kill one enemy infantryman who was planning to kill him. But once he saw the emblem on the cloth tied to Nio's right arm, and the flag attached to the radio communication transimi antenna of one of the soldiers, made him realize.

His eyes widened, and he dropped the – remote controller to blow up the entire post area and for the enemy to be destroyed – when realizing the soldier who killed the enemy soldier in front of him.

“Student Army?! High School Warrior?”

The soldier in front of him was a bandage wrapped around part of his face, and fought coldly, mercilessly. Even without a rifle, the soldier in front of him fought using his sword, and crippled every enemy that ran towards him.

It evokes the company commander's memory of a High School Soldier who can defeat many enemies without a rifle, roaming the battlefield like a brawling young man, yet much more sadistic.

SS20-G2 from all members of the Relief Company, and 7.62mm gatling-type medium rifles and 12.7mm heavy machine guns mounted on hardpoints in the exoskeletons of a number of soldiers, and portable rocket launchers on the shoulders of a number of exoskeleton-user soldiers, raiding alongside enemy cavalry who had SP-1 rifles. Meanwhile, the support of the 120mm mortar and the unrivalled 230mm howitzer is being prepared. However, the fierce battlefield, making the operators of both heavy weapons rather slow in working.

In the sky, the four great iron dragonflies were spouting a rain of attacks on the Alliance's heavy cavalry. The soldiers in the attack and large transport helicopters fired all the weapons they had, and spread fear as far as the eyes of the enemy could see.

“Sial! Where's the rifle cavalry?!”

The heavy infantry soldiers of the Alliance groaned like that, fighting with desperate cries against the help of the enemies that had not come long ago. Due to the weight of the armor they wore, the mobility of the heavy infantry movements was quite slow, and it was very easy to hunt.

Of course the troops that had just come did not waste such gains, before the enemy rifle cavalry came. The battle against the Alliance had always started with a one-way attack, and a meeting formation.

On the other hand, the Alliance's rifle cavalry was an army designed to break through Arevelk's unique tactics, and deliver rapid shock attacks against enemies from other worlds. Despite the advantages in mobility, enemy combat vehicles are able to undermine their superiority.

“Do not be daunted! The enemy will still chase us even if we retreat!”

“Continue firing! Keep using this stick to defeat the enemy!”

“They are much less than us, don't be afraid!”

The Alliance's infantry and cavalry warriors attempt to suppress the fear of their deaths, attacking the savage enemy who retaliates with taunts from a hail of bullets and cataclysmic explosions. The screams of the battlefield were a nightmare, and filled the battlefield with the sound of the heartbreaking cries of the dead soldiers.

Several long gray smoke-tailed objects floated from the four iron dragonflies, leaving the Alliance forces below awestruck. It crashed and disintegrated once the missile propellant hit the ground, creating a massive explosion of the warheads carried by the missiles.

After that, several medium-caliber 81mm and 120mm mortars, and a 230mm howitzer fired ammunition, releasing a number of high-explosive shells and an air-shaking explosive sound. The entire shot hit the target with astonishing accuracy, exploding and scattering the shell of the bullet in all directions in high speed. The bombardment spread, destroying part of the Alliance army formation.

The artillery attack was nothing but an attempt to destroy the enemy within a short period of time. The armored infantry and enemy cavalry were instantly silenced. The main force that was about to reach the battlefield was destroyed by a barrage of rockets launched from assault helicopters and howitzers.

The weapons Nio used were a sword in his right hand and a 10mm mitraliur gun in his left hand. Lay down the low sword threat, yet it would become deadly if he combined the slash with a medium-range shot.

Although he used two short-range combat weapons, but the soldier showed combat prowess that exceeded all the shadows of those who doubted him. Deciding on a close combat, Nio made the most of his weapon.

If the main army of the enemy joined in this battle, of course Nio would be in trouble. Dodging the horizontal slash of an enemy's sword aimed at his neck, Nio countered it by taking four shots off his mitraliur pistol, and kicking the belly of the dying Alliance soldier. The Alliance army groaned, and invited several other enemy infantry soldiers to avenge Nio's actions.

“!!!”

Nio was surprised and said inwardly, “ Didn't they see there was me here?!”

Mortar attacks that could not be anticipated without tools, made huge explosions and shell shells spread out in all directions. Later, a merciless attack from a machine gun disrupts some of the cavalry.

The mortar explosion nearby was so loud, that Nio thought he might already be deaf. A powerful shockwave killed his opponents, shattering their sturdy iron armor. Dozens of artillery strikes have been unleashed like meteor showers, creating craters and metal showers after pounding the ground.

Several Alliance soldiers emerged from behind the black smoke, with one hand breaking off. Staring at the riveted club that the soldier had raised above his head, Nio stared flatly without a clear expression.

The slash of the wounded soldier was still powerful, and Nio was thrown into the back from the attack. The sword he used to fend off was still intact, with the remaining bullets on his mitraliur gun about two magazines containing 30 bullets.

Standing with the remaining energy, Nio looked at his opponent with a serious look. When he heard a number of gunshots, Nio took the shield belonging to one of the dead Alliance soldiers. He was surprised, there were several bullets that hit the powerful shield, indicating the enemy had actually made it a target.

A sensation that made Nio step confidently. Striking enemies in the open field with the sounds of shouting and death from slain enemies and comrades who are trying to gather courage.

Then another attack began.

Big explosions are happening on the battlefield.

The sturdy armour of the infantry and heavy cavalry was supposed to be able to withstand metal shards, and reduce the impact of the 7.62mm projectile. However, a number of artillery pieces from destroyed their pride, and blew the armored troops away like dried leaves.

The successive rounds of machine guns and artillery tore up the entire Alliance forces in Yekirnovo region. The nearly destroyed army had no way to retaliate against the enemy's underhanded attacks. And that's why, they just attacked recklessly, shooting in all directions, without knowing the word retreat.
