High School Soldier
50. Departure 2 teams

1914 Arevelk Kingdom, noon.

**

Not only the Luan Empire whose government was split into two factions. At least the country has some 'friends' who are also experiencing the same thing.

Some countries even experienced worse things than the Luan Kingdom. Peace factions opposed to war with the other world began to form military forces originating from the territory of the nobility who supported peace.

Countries that experience such conditions are Salodki and Biez. Other countries still look safe even though the state of the government is also in chaos .

Civil war threatens the kingdoms of Biez and Salodki. But the two countries are not getting help from the kingdom in the Andzrev continent, because some kingdoms are still at war with other worlds.

Except the kingdom of Arevelk that still looks peaceful. However, the kingdom refused to provide assistance due to the Gate issue.

The country led by a woman named Sigiz is still not willing to open the Gate in his country. Because the conditions for making that thing are very heavy and will make people angry.

The governments of the kingdoms of Biez and Salodki are still in a state of disunity, but have yet to show signs of the start of civil war in both countries. Because most of the troops are at war with the other world.

Even in the Kingdom of the Sirds, the King of this country named Serca several times received letters containing death threats. But the contents of the letter by him were ignored and only considered a threat that would not occur.

Until his son who was the successor to the throne of the kingdom appealed to his father to seek protection from threats sent by letter.

Still, King Serca did not pay attention to anything related to taking refuge from the menace.

Cloud Palace looks very crowded with wyverns and several dragons flying with their handlers.

The government of this country still insists it will not be at war with the other world, with some reasons that make them choose this attitude.

One of them is a person in a prophecy who is almost found, and the departure of Queen Sigiz to another world to meet people in the prophecy.

If Sigiz had brought as many as 20 dragon riders, it was possible that he was not only aiming to meet people in the prophecy. Only the top brass of the country's military know Sigiz's reason for bringing troops to another world.

Most importantly, his goal to the other world was not to fight.

In the dressing room, there are very many after the battle clothes. But the costume looks only suitable for female soldiers, because the chest is very prominent. In addition, the color on the armor also looks a little bright, very different from the armor worn by male soldiers of the Kingdom of Arevelk.

Inside this room, there was Sigiz who was surrounded by several servants to help him put on a battle suit.

Occasionally he sighed softly as the chest protector was fitted and had to be pressed to fit. Some servants stared at Sigiz's chest with envious gazes because it was tight and fairly large.

Until finally the waiter finished wearing the armor on Sigiz's body. A moment later another servant entered this room, there was something he wanted to tell Sigiz.

“Before leaving, your father wants to meet first,” said one of the palace maids.

“Alright,” replied Sigiz briefly.

While wearing full battle armor and a sword on his waist, Sigiz walked towards his father's room to relax with his face ready to fight. Even if that's not the rain.

The soldier who saw Sigiz walking paused for a moment to salute him. They saluted in a slightly bowed manner and greeted Sigiz in a stern tone.

Sigiz was not surprised by his soldiers who often greeted with a tone of hashtag, because it was the standard procedure for soldiers when meeting their leader.

When the waiter met Sigiz, they also greeted him while bowing with their right hand placed in front of their chest.

Sigiz had arrived where his father used to spend his retirement from being king, which is one of the palace balconies.

This balcony overlooks the territory of the royal capital of Arevelk. If in certain situations, this place can be used as a place to spy on enemies who are below. That's why the Cloud Palace is also called a wing fortress, because it hovers above the ground.

“Dad, I came,” said Sigiz while standing next to his father who was sitting in a rocking chair that looked luxurious.

“Are you ready? It is possible that otherworlders will consider you an enemy as well,” said Hin with a worried face even though he himself asked Sigiz to go to another world.

Holding tightly the handle of the sword at his waist, Sigiz confidently replied, “That is indeed the thing that might happen. But for the sake of meeting the foretold, I am ready.”

Hin then stood up after drinking the wine in his silver-colored glass.

"The way we fight otherworldly forces is very different from our own. And it could be that the foreseen person will consider you an enemy as well" Hin said.

"I will use various means to make him sure that our kingdom is not at war with his world" Sigiz replied with a confident smile.

Hin had already given up on preventing Sigiz from going to another world. Indeed, it was at first he who ordered Sigiz to go to another world. But he was still worried about his only child.

Sigiz then saluted his father in a bowing manner, just like the way the servants and soldiers had given him greetings earlier.

Hin held Sigiz's shoulder, then saw a blue light. The light seemed to be absorbed into Sigiz's body, yet he looked like nothing had happened.

"What is a message to the foretold?" sigiz asked after the blue light disappeared.

"True, you can show it after finding the person foretold," Hin replied as she sat back in her rocking chair.

Hin also mastered some magic, including special news-sending magic. Sigiz also acquired magic abilities derived from both his parents.

The news-sending magic that Hin used was the most powerful and safe. The magic used by Hin works by sending some information into the body of people who also serve as intermediaries.

The message will not leak, even when the person who is the intermediary dies. The message will be seen when the person who is an intermediary says a few words to release the news in his body.

This magic requires a very powerful ability, and not all magicians in this world have such magic. That's why only 2 people have this ability in the kingdom of Arevelk, namely Hin and the Great Witch.

Sigiz was already in the palace courtyard which also contained 20 wyverns and dragons, and also the handler of each beast who was also a warrior of the Arevelk kingdom.

The dragon handlers all descended from their mounts and saluted Sigiz.

Sigiz then returned the salute of his soldiers, then walked towards the silvery-white dragon which was a type of wind dragon.

Sigiz's wind dragons are among the strongest, as well as the greatest aviators of their kind. This type of dragon is also very rare, so only certain people can have it.

All the dragon-riding warriors mounted the royal flag of Arevelk in their respective saddles. That's their origin marker. If lucky, the otherworldly army would probably consider this army not as an enemy.

In order to head to another world, this army had to head towards Luan kingdom. Because the country opened the Gate, and Sigiz already had a previous permit from King Bogat.

Also, the Gate that existed in the Luan kingdom was directly connected to one of the countries in the other world.

There were already two people who would welcome the Sigiz-led forces in another world.

Sigiz rode the wind dragon alone holding a staff tied to the royal flag of Arevelk. The stick was pointed spear. The spear is Sigiz's favorite weapon.

"The whole army, we're going to another world. Get ready...!!!" sigiz shouted, to which he answered the excited cries of his soldiers.

"Ready...!!!"

The entire dragon flew swiftly towards the Gate that was in Luan kingdom.

The underground city of Karanganyar....

**

All soldiers belonging to team 2 are preparing to carry out an operation to retake the District of Mojogedang from the power of the enemy forces.

The entire army had been wearing full combat uniforms each, with some new weapons they had obtained.

Of course, new weapons make victory can be achieved easily. But without a strategy, even the deadliest weapon would be useless.

The entire vehicle to be used is refueling in the vehicle storage garage. Heavy weapons, such as heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, are also being checked.

The previous soldiers' readiness has also been checked. Because if it is not ready and in a bad state or such will interfere with the implementation of operations. It could be, just because you are not feeling well will make soldiers killed on the battlefield.

Even if a soldier only takes a little snot out of his nose, he will instantly be not allowed to follow missions or combat-related activities.

However, that does not mean that soldiers who do not participate in the operation will be idle. They were ordered to keep the underground city safe while the entire personnel were fighting.

At least that way they don't get a blind salary.

Arunika was still standing before Nio who was already wearing more complete combat equipment than before. Even the vest that Nio was wearing was full of equipment and other items.

"I will not forgive you if you get hurt when you come home later" said Arunika as she squeezed the edge of her clothes.

"That's impossible. At least you have to justify your words," Nio replied.

"Can't, you've been hurt too many times on duty. What is the appropriate sentence?"

" 'Then go home safe', so new is true."

Nio chuckled after saying that. While Arunika just looked down like she felt something.

Nio grabbed Arunika's hand and kissed her. But after finishing, Arunika still held Nio's hand.

"Be careful."

"If it's clear."

After that Nio ran towards the line of troops that were ready to be dispatched.

They first listened to a speech from Herlina related to this operation.

At least with the speech from Herlina, the entire soldier became more excited and had high self-confidence.

One of the words from Herlina that made the troops even more excited was "The otherworldly forces are not as strong as the armies of this world. They came only to be defeated."

In his heart Nio said, "If only I had the public speaking skill like him."

The speech from Herlina was finished, the entire army again checked their respective equipment and weapons to avoid the name 'forgetfulness'.

Nio then walked with the members of Squad 2 to one of the soldier-carrying trucks.

"Look...!!" shouted someone who made Nio turn to the source of the voice.

The one who called out to Nio was Nike, behind him were people from the combat equipment maintenance unit who had also seen the departure of team 2.

Nio walked towards Nike and parted ways with his Squad for a while.

"What's wrong?"

"Hopefully succeed, and take care of my brother. I'm still worried about him even though he looks strong."

Nio held back a laugh when he heard Nike's words and said, "Of course. Pray for us."

Nio then walked back to the truck that was already almost full of soldiers and weaponry. But he again stopped when he saw the young women also saw the departure of team 2. It is beautiful in the line too.

"Young...! Eliminate all enemies for our sake...!!!" exquisitely shouted while holding back the embarrassment from shouting out loud.

Nio just smiled as he gave his thumbs up towards Indah.

"And prevent them from making others fate like us," Inner Beautiful.

Nio then boarded the soldier-carrying truck, but he sensed that someone was pulling his backpack.

"Nio, why did you go up there?" ask Herlina who prevented Nio from riding the truck.

"Well, why?" ask Nio.

Herlina forcefully pulled Nio's hand and walked towards one of the armored vehicles.

"The Commander's deputy should be sitting here."

"Well, what's the difference?"

Herlina just shook her head like she didn't understand Nio's thoughts.

"If I give the wrong order, do you want me to?" asked Nio who made him and the driver of the vehicle turn pale.

"Don't talk carelessly. Okay, I'm sitting here."

Nio's reply made Herlina both relieved and pleased, as Nio sat right beside her.

Herlina ordered the entire army to depart via a wireless communication connection that was connected to the rest of the soldiers.

After that, the entire vehicle exited one by one from the underground city and headed towards the battlefield.
