Medieval army combat uniforms did not use clothing that could be used to camouflage the country's most dominant terrain. Because of the war strategy of those who fight using melee weapons, and use a similar way of fighting.

While in the world of origin, there are many world militaries who wear striped uniforms with almost the same color, only the complementary attributes that distinguish the origin of the troops. Most battles are done remotely, and require good camouflage.

While the use of striking combat clothing, such as those worn by the two armies besieging Squad 1, serves to make the enemy tremble and show the origin of the troops.

Thanks to the knowledge of how to distinguish troops in the foreign world, Nio was able to tell the origin of the heavy cavalry troops that were approaching towards Squad 1.

“They are from Arevelk Kingdom..,” Nio pensively thought about whether they were friends or not.

If Sigiz was in the army, Nio would immediately recognize him among the thousands of dragon riders. Because the flying lizard that Sigiz rides looks most striking among others.

“What are they friends?” Chandra looks increasingly anxious as thousands of heavy cavalry troops and dragon riders get closer and create a dust storm.

Nio immediately picked up his binoculars, and set his gaze towards the dragon rider numbering hundreds of flying lizards, complete with his handler. The entire army, both cavalry and dragon riders alike carried flags bearing the emblem of the Kingdom of Arevelk.

TNI troops have made fighting monsters as a tradition, but if the army of 32 people against hundreds of flying lizards, it will be different story. The weapon carried by this army is not enough to paralyze a wyvern, kacuali 8 rocket launcher disposable that has been used 1 piece.

Nio was still monitoring the Arevelk Kingdom's forces in search of the one figure he was very hopeful of. Nio hoped Sigiz would lead the army, and did not aim to attack Squad 1.

If Sigiz and his army had the goal of attacking Squad 1 as it approached the border, then there was no choice but to flee.

To the otherworldly forces, the existence of the TNI was like a mysterious monster. They could easily destroy the aircraft carriers of the Luan Empire and the Hrabro Kingdom, break through the scales of the harsh dragons and defeat hundreds of thousands of troops in just a few hours.

The dragon riders of Sigiz's army seemed amazed by the 1st Squad they saw from above. Because according to the news said directly by Sigiz, the characteristics of the TNI troops in the form of a green striped uniform with a red and white symbol on the left arm of their uniforms.

Sigiz then gave a code for all his dragon-dwelling troops to descend on the troops carrying armored carts. No one hesitated to obey the orders of their Queen, as there were armies that the country feared so much in the continent that were willing to become allies of the Arevelk Kingdom.

“Master Nio, we meet again,” Nio and his troops just stand still with anxious feelings because the troops with the magicians are still chasing them, while Sigiz can still greet Nio with a calm smile.

Hundreds of flying lizards landed slowly, like helicopters about to land and blow away dust. When viewed from the physical appearance of the flying lizards, they come from different types.

Thousands of horses of heavy cavalry troops just drove past Squad 1 who could only stand sculpting. The running horses stirred up a disturbing cloud of dust, and the sound of the pounding of their feet was heart-wrenching. Don't forget the heavy cavalry soldiers also shouted a word loudly.

Squad 1 had just seen how to battle this world army from a distance of 30 meters.

Sheyn saw the Arevelk Kingdom's army move swiftly towards his troops, the number of approaching cavalry troops was hundreds of thousands, and all of them were wearing heavy equipment. While the troops he brought only numbered 120 people, but had been reduced by several tens of people due to the battle against the army of Squad 1.

Some of the soldiers asked Sheyn to immediately order them to retreat, as their lives were being severely threatened. They also did not expect that the Arevelk Kingdom army would start the battle for the first time.

If this battle were to really happen, this would be the first time the kingdom of Arevelk had fought against another country.

Sheyn raised her left hand, and immediately gave the code backwards. His army turned around and moved backwards towards the capital of the Luan Empire.

Sheyn was very surprised because she would not expect to meet the troops of the Kingdom of Arevelk before the war. He had to return to the palace without bringing any information regarding the troops that controlled the Gate, but he had a much more important piece of information. That is, the Arevelk Kingdom army has entered the territory of the Luan Empire.

Sheyn's forces continued to retreat, although the troops chasing them stopped.

The commander of the cavalry gave orders to his troops to stop the chase, as the troops they were targeting were already moving backwards. There was no order to continue the chase, as Sigiz only gave orders to simply repulse the troops that were endangering Squad 1.

Then these troops returned to the presence of their leaders.

Nio and the members of Team 1 did not expect to get unexpected help. They would think if the help they got was from the rover Squad who happened to be near the whereabouts of Squad 1.

While the troops that helped Squad 1 to make the Luan Empire army retreat numbered in the hundreds of thousands of troops, with all of them heavily armed.

In the event of a battle against these hundreds of thousands of troops, of course Squad 1 suffered a crushing defeat.

They tried to think about it, and think about how to respond to the awkward situation now. Given that Nio was quite fluent in this world, so the members of Squad 1 relied heavily on him.

Of course they are not bandits, and the TNI will not do that to everyone in the world. Although the TNI forces defeated the combined forces of five countries, they did not continue to attack the capital of the Luan Empire, the country where the Gate opened.

Not only that, even though they managed to defeat an army of five major countries in the Andzrev Continent, Sigiz's forces saw the members of Squad 1 have a face that ‘suram’, the, and will make people think if they are on the losing side.

There are many things that TNI get in their own country, even bad things.

No matter what, the ‘nobles’ in the TNI home country is not as stupid as one would think. Despite thinking about it, the troops Sigiz had brought were really concerned about the gloomy face they showed. The nobles have in common a greedy nature that cannot be extinguished.

After all, the story of the fantasy novel will not be the same as the TNI troops in this world will experience.

Squad 1 was eventually brought into the Kingdom of Arevelk, with the escort of Sigiz's troops. No one knows if this is against the rules or not. Because there is no ‘ ban that soldiers should not enter the region other than the country where Gate’ opens.

Although they were near the border with the Kingdom of Arevelk, but the distance was still about 10 kilometers to be able to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Arevelk.

Nio was still facing awkwardly Sigiz who was both sitting face to face. Because in his feelings, he had now brought his army away from the headquarters. And it's possible that the radio communication signal won't get to this place.

It was a matter to worry about, because if Squad 1 was late returning to their headquarters they would get punished. The lightest punishment is just a pay cut, and the heavy ones are on the screens for a long time.

There was no conversation as long as they sat facing each other, before Sigiz started the conversation.

“Why can you be pursued by the Barisan Roses?” Nio tilted his head in ignorance of the troops chasing his troops.

“The Roses' Line? What kind of team is it?” Nio immediately prepared his notebook to record every important thing Sigiz said.

“They are an army that is all female. One of the elite troops that the Luan Empire had. They are quite strong, although all members are female,” Nio's hand trembled when he found out that his army was fighting a group of women.

But it is not a thing to think about, because in a unity there must be some women. However, what if a union is filled entirely by women?

“Then, your team will go where. It is impossible for an army of this size to be sent only to help us?”

“Honey, our goal here is indeed to help your troops. But there is one more rain from the departure of our troops.”

“What is it?”

“The combined forces of five countries also declared war on us. Before they attack us, we will deploy troops to attack them one by one.”

“So you will fight the Luan Empire first?”

“Yes, but we must ask your commander for permission to cross the area around Gate.”

Nio knew why Sigiz wanted to meet his Commandant, if he did not say the reason for this large army to cross the area around the Gate, it was possible that Sigiz's troops would be considered a threat, and the gun contact happened again.

“But the distance to the Gate is very far, it will take one month trip by horse riding,” Nio like to see ‘peluang’ after mengengengat Sigiz complaints about a long distance if you want to reach the Gate.

Nio also thought, if there are some conditions that will be given by his commander if Sigiz and his troops want to cross in the area around the Gate that has become part of Indonesia. Although the area around the Gate is empty land, there could be valuable mining goods.

Of course the negotiations between Sigiz and his commander will be beneficial for both sides.

If Sigiz obtained permission to cross the area around the Gate, then the troops he led could prevent the enemy forces from attacking the Kingdom of Arevelk. While the advantage in Indonesia is that it can explore more widely, not limited to the territory of the Luan Empire.

“We can take you if you want to meet our commander. However, we also do not know whether he will give permission or not. If hitchhiking our vehicle,” Sigiz's face suddenly brightens after hearing Nio's offer, as he will be with Nio longer.

He was already happy while conversing with Nio, although he should still pay attention to the ethics of a queen. He could not speak like a person of the same age as Nio, despite his current age of 60 years. However, the age of 60 years according to the race of origin Sigiz is the age that is still like a human in the adolescent phase.

That means, if using Sigiz's point of view, he is 60 years old as the 19-year-old Nio.

Sigiz agreed to Nio's proposal, but only Sigiz would leave for the fortress where the headquarters were located. Sigiz's troops had to be willing to wait at this camp until Sigiz had obtained permission to pass through the area around the Gate.

“Alright, we'll leave tomorrow morning.”
