High School Soldier
Goal 3: A smile filled with tears

A senseless fight, more than a joke from a world-famous comedian. Candranala's attempt to face Rio was an unbelievable sight, starting the fight against the Hero of Anger was an insane goal of any kind. However, the fact he had survived until now was a miracle.

Candranalas are much weaker in firepower, strength, and number. In this world, fighting against a figure named Hero could not be considered a fight, but since Candranala was the target that Rio was aiming for, she fought back despite barely being able to counterattack, candranala should have been dead if there were no additional troops from the headquarters.

“Mantap. It is unbelievable that they sent that precious asset ..” muttered Candranala in the middle of Rio and the Hero's army that increasingly urged him.

Transport helicopter traverses dense forest – where Candranala fights Rio and his troops – carrying combat robots of various types that are hung under iron dragonflies using bending steel wire. Around the perimeter of the transport helicopters, the invading iron dragonflies rained down on the Alliance troops below using rockets and cannons, making a rain of heaven-breathing flames descend from the sky. As soon as the long fire-tailed object – deadly weapons from the other world – hit the ground, there was nothing next but fragments of metal armor and the painful screams of the Alliance soldiers who met their death.

Once the combat robot operators put on their respective pilot uniforms, sat in the cockpit and both hands held the reins, they were ready to become a mobile metal force that was much stronger than the Alliance's armored Ogre. The number of two-legged combat robots is about 10, and 6 six-legged combat robots – are spider-type, often referred to as spider tanks. The entire resistance weapon is loaded, and the entire operator plunges into the battle.

The spider tank is armed with a 105mm to 155mm cannon, depending on the type. All of the spider tanks deployed in the battle belonged to the North Korean contingent, and the Iindonesian and Russian contingents sent 5 two-legged combat robots, respectively, it is fitted with a 14.5mm heavy machine gun and a portable guided missile launcher on each of the robot's right shoulders.

The Alliance's armored monsters immediately confronted the combat robots, snorting to smoke out of their nostrils, with weapons ready. Unfortunately, it has not been able to make the combat robot operators tremble.

Dozens of butterfly-shaped carrier-less aerial drones flew through the battlefield skies of combat robots, serving as senders of battle-state information over wireless networks, sacrificing for the superiority of the moving metals. In essence, the butterfly serves as an additional eye for operators who can only look ahead in limited view.

The Gandiwa – two-legged combat robots belonging to the Indonesian contingent – stand in front of a row of dozens of armored Ogres as high as three meters. The height of the weapon was about 2.8 meters, almost the same as the height of a medium tank. However, it seemed that the monsters did not sense that the opponent in front of them was threatening.

(olog note: Gandiwa is a holy bow belonging to Arjuna – one of Pandawa – equipped with a tube containing unlimited arrows)

The butterfly drone transferred footage from optical sensors to the rest of Gandiwa, spider tanks, and two-legged combat robots belonging to the Russian contingent, upon seeing the horde of armored monsters numbering in the hundreds dashing towards them. The shocking information left the operators somewhat daunted, but remained confident that their weapons were capable of destroying the opposing monsters.

Then, the gunner on the 6 spider tanks turned his 105mm and 155mm turret gun towards the hordes of monsters still in motion. The cannon roared, fired powerful and devastating bullets, unleashing a high-explosive shell that could destroy a platoon of main battle tanks at the speed of sound.

However, the Alliance's rifle cavalry supported the monsters' attack, regardless of the deafening explosive sound of the Guild's six-legged iron beasts' cannons. A few lucky shots destroy the butterfly drone, confounding the additional vision of the enemy's strange animal operators. The smoke grenades of the rifle cavalry were thrown, blocking the visibility of the combat robot operator.taking advantage of the opponent's strange immovable beast, a company of rifle cavalry rained down on the metal monsters endlessly, and the, until the gun barrel is very hot.

Gandiwa main weapon – 14.5mm heavy machine gun and – anti-tank missile more powerful than SP-1 operated cavalry rifle Alliance. The strange two-legged metal beast's heavy weapon destroyed the Alliance's vulnerable rifle cavalry ranks, and the Gandiwa and the Russian contingent combat robots destroyed the Alliance's momentary superiority of rifle cavalry.

A massive explosion from a high explosive-powered bullet occurred, throwing down less than 80 of the Alliance's armored monsters in all directions. Boulders of protective armor and monster limbs hit a number of civilian homes, and made light damage such as hollow wooden walls or blood that littered the porch.

Six legs of the spider tank stepped up to approach a battalion of armored monsters of the – Alliance that was estimated to indeed number less than 2,000 monster soldiers - with cannons already loaded. The assistant operator of the spider tank fired a 12.7mm machine gun to reduce obstacles, and made more and more monsters provoked the sound of gunfire. It forced the main operator who doubles as a cannon shooter to tear down the tight ranks of the monster army with the superiority of cannon firepower.

Hordes of Orc-type monsters emerged from the right side of the North Korean contingent spider tank line. The smoke from the explosion covered the field of view, leaving the steel spider operators somewhat shocked. Fortunately, the Gandiwa helped the spider tank units destroy the annoying barrier with their respective anti-tank guided missiles. On each launcher, it contains 6 missiles to destroy the main battle tank, and if in urgent circumstances is capable of destroying an infantry platoon.

The spider tank again twisted its turret, and and the slashes of bullets fired pierced through all the monsters blocking its path, creating a gaping hole in every monster body that failed to dodge, and ended in a ruthless explosion.

Patiently, the combat robot operators waited for the gray smoke covering the battlefield to disappear. As soon as the battle fog disappeared, the entire combat robot weapon was ready, as well as a number of giant armored Ogres running with thorny batons raised overhead.

The operator of a Gandiwa was surprised by the arrival of five armored Ogres who let out a terrifying roar from his left side.

“Damn it!” even though he had cursed, but still failed to avoid the thorny slash of one of the Ogres.

The trained monsters of course moved to destroy the iron beasts of the other world, as well as to destroy the additional strength of the enemy. In a relentless wave of attacks, the monsters managed to encircle the entire Peace Force combat robot. In fact, if any aid units attempted to attack, the Alliance monsters that scattered and fought with beast instincts would instantly hinder.

Unfortunately, the monsters that the otherworldly army possessed were not limited to the metal beasts that the Alliance's rifle cavalry and monsters were facing.

A multi-purpose iron dragonfly transports twenty third soldiers of another world country's contingent. Assault rifles and machines while the soldiers rained down on the monsters below, attacking every monster that harmed their comrades on the ground. Some people dropped grenades, like they were throwing money at people downstairs.

Then, two attack helicopters scattered 20mm and 30mm automatic cannon bullets into the Alliance's relentless line of rifle cavalry, accompanied by the torsion of several rockets and smart bombs. Entire bombs as well as rockets bombarded them from the sky, destroying and forcing the opponent to struggle desperately. However, for every single Alliance soldier killed, there would be additional soldiers to replace them. That is, the enemy is charging relentlessly, that is what it looks like.

Combat robots would normally never engage in the crowded battlefield they are today, among the relentless assaults of the opposing side.

Although combat robot parts are abundant, human supplies for war are very limited. But, as the years grew, one of the prosperous countries in the other world turned out to realize that paying attention to the welfare and safety of soldiers is very important.

However, in order to face a battle, a warrior needed determination.

Candranala missed several opportunities, arguing that she was too fascinated by the invasion of the relief forces. Determination began to form, and filled the gap in his heart. Calculation of mistakes, fatigue, and fighting spirit were the same, plus the effort that weighed on his mind and body. Even a veteran would still tire of constantly saving himself from a senseless fight.

“All people split up! Protect Commander!”

Hassan shouted after jumping from his tactical vehicle, his voice unnerving from exhaustion. Boldly, the entire 12th Team paid for their mistake by joining the battle of Candranala against one of the Heroes of the Alliance.

A few seconds later, Edera, Huvu, Ebal, Sigiz, and Hevaz joined forces, with the Silent Assassins perched on the branches of several trees around the Alliance's rifle cavalry besieging Candranala. aid from Zariv and Lux has yet to arrive, as has additional help from Sheyn-led Yekirnovo.

“I told you. I who now have the power to destroy all the enemies of the Alliance! I'll smash your ugly face, Candranala!”

The darkness of the forest grew gloomy as the two shadow arms on Rio's back aimed his shadow SS2 at Candranala. The man's face was smiling viciously, and had already imagined what he would do if Candranala managed to obtain it. Destroying Candranala mentally was the best option, and Rio had found various ways to do so if his target was captured successfully.

He smiled like a demon, who was about to take the life of someone who had met his death destiny.

“How? Not too bad offer, right?” rio said again.

Seeing her best friend's ‘mantan’ is really like a stranger, Candranala ponders how to win the fight and return Rio like never before. This fight was a gamble, but at the same time he had gained more than enough help, namely his subordinates and those who had sworn allegiance to him.

“Hey, Rio – “ before Candranala finishes her words, The Angry Hero cuts her off by speaking loudly:

“Call me Mr Rio, my future slave!”

Candranala's face turned crumpled, with her left eyebrow twitching. His left eye was like an army whose heart was wounded.

“I just want to know the state of Beautiful.”

Hearing the name of an unknown girl, the whole girl immediately turned to Candranala with a super curious face. However, in the middle of a decisive battle it is impossible to ask trivial questions like “Candranala! Who is Beautiful you mean?!”, or will end up picking fights like a guy caught cheating.

“Oh, do you have any last words for him?” rio asked with a cynical look.

“Ya, right. He was once our friend, and my girlfriend. When Jonathan knows you and Lovely are fighting with the Alliance .. hah, you can imagine it yourself right? – ”

“This has nothing to do with Jo! Immediately say your last words before becoming my slave!”

“Oy, motherfucker! if anyone talks, don't cut it!”

Candranala's voice was loud, and shocked everyone, and both SS2 Rio's shadow fired several shadow bullets after detecting the threat from Candranala. Threat shots landed in front of the Candranala combat bot, angering him even more.

“I want you and Beautiful back, if there's a chance. I still expect a cool fight with you guys,” said Candranala in a firm tone.

“For what I must return, helping the Alliance find its peace is much more important. We fight to drive out invaders who were once colonized! Fighting for the sake of helpless parties was much cooler!”

“Your words are like the commander of a communist country only. But, war is indeed a confusing thing, where both sides consider each other's opponents need to be defeated, and have their own goals. “

“ Criminals like you don't know the feelings of the Alliance people. I don't want to know what you want, you and Beautiful will be mine!”

“Are you now a same-sex lover?” ask Candranala scoffing.

Candranala smiled, as if she was joking with her best friend in peacetime, when she came home from school with Jonathan in the afternoon. It was a smile tinged with tears, and her expression somehow showed that Candranala had hope for Rio to return to Indonesia, as part of the Indonesian Student Republic Army.

However, it seems that it will be very impossible to happen, Rio and Indah have been set as enemies and traitors of Indonesia who deserve to be killed. In light of that fact, Candranala contemplated her actions which were certain to end up in vain. But, on the other hand Candranala felt her efforts were right.

It was basically someone's attempt to delay his death, as Candranala realized Rio's strength made her easily killed despite getting a lot of help.

Candranala felt she had a chance to save Rio and Indah. Because Rio's reaction after her words was completely motionless, perhaps due to embarrassment or his heart being pierced by Candranala's words.

“But, if you think this will make me fight with you again, then my answer remains no. And quickly decide, you want to die or stay alive then become my slave and fight with the Alliance to get its rights back.”

The forest grew darker after the sun of this world that was about to sink in its place, in order to fulfill its duty of illuminating the other side of this world. Candranala was still standing in front of Rio, and the entire subordinates of the two men were still silent to prepare themselves to carry out the orders of the two of them.

Candranala's face and her clothes were as disheveled, Candranala looked very similar to a corpse. Only his left eye was still shining due to the reflection of the afternoon sunlight that pierced through the forest. He groaned, then advanced with a cold face on Rio with something strange looking at him.

Only smiling Hevaz saw the strangeness in Candranala's cold expression, and the girl smiled confidently.
