High School Soldier
90. Dirty plan
20 October 2321, 10:01 WIB/1914 Luan Empire, morning.

Outside the fort, a transport helicopter is carrying out its functions, Peltu Gio holds a list of items brought from Indonesia as gifts for the Royal family. While Nio did the last task that is very easy, namely doing the last check on the contents of the boxes containing woven cloth, batik cloth, some traditional weapons, and other ‘by-by’.
Of all the luggage to be transported, this team can open department stores that will sell famous products from all over Indonesia. Some consider this to be more like a bribe than a gift.
Some luggage are perishable objects, for example jars and carvings of wood, they must be wrapped properly and safely.
In addition, troops also needed funds to perform tasks if at any time the Imperial troops sent more troops. Because the funds will be used to pay for recruited informants, establish bases, and other activities that require funding.
The Indonesian government does not yet have the currency of the Kingdom of Arevelk. Instead, they carry rupiahs in the billions. Perhaps with this the Kingdom will accept everything that Indonesia gives. After all, the use of paper money in this world has not been done, and maybe the existence of the TNI here will change economic history by introducing paper money.
If you study in developing country governments, giving bribes like this will be very easy. However, if you do this to a developed country, for example China when going to cooperate in the economic field, they will say “Oh, meaning you do not mind if we send ships to Natuna?”. So giving bribes to members of the council of developed countries would be a waste.
But, the President hopes to visit troops in other worlds and told the parties who are at war with Indonesia, “Let's see who is stronger.”
About that's how ‘diplomasi’ works, after all now is not the era of colonialism. The government needs to maintain an army in another world, and establish as many close ties as possible with the existing countries of this world. But the problem is that there is a country that continues to send small troops with the aim of scaring TNI soldiers behind the fort, who else if not the Luan Empire.
However, lately they are seen not sending a single dragon rider to spy on the fortress.
After that, the 2nd and 6th cruisers boarded the helicopter as representatives on the orders of General Sucipto directly. Some of the soldiers were still busy loading plastic boxes into helicopters.
Then, firmly tighten the transported box so as not to move during the flight. After that, the soldiers who got the order tightened their seat belts.
Thus, they flew to the Cloud Palace of Arevelk Kingdom.
The Royal Capital is a 20-day ride on horseback and is accompanied by rest. Therefore, a helicopter can take only one day. Helicopters that take off create downwashes that blow away sand and dust.

Before approaching the fortress, Sheyn heard a sound and the wind gusts as it flew over her. That way, Sheyn thought that he was close to the green troops.
He approached everyone wearing a striped green uniform, with a domineering dark green color. However, no one understood what he was saying.
The soldiers Sheyn asked only smiled stiffly, grinning, even showing faces confused by the language Sheyn spoke. However, Sheyn herself did not know whether they understood or not.
Judging from the look on the face of the soldier Sheyn came to, they did not seem to understand Sheyn's intentions. He tries his best, but in the end Sheyn remains unable to communicate with them.
When Shyen found out that her efforts were in vain, she hoped that someone would understand her language. But, he only approached this green soldier on free duty randomly.
After half a day of trying, Sheyn only managed to get close to 20 people. In the end, he realized that he could not communicate with the soldiers in green clothes. He did not even understand the meaning of their words, yet they could at least interpret Sheyn's gestures.
If we change our point of view, and Shyen is now at the enemy base and not at the TNI fort, she will be mistaken for a woman who will give her body just for information. Normal female soldiers would definitely hesitate to go to the enemy headquarters alone, but Sheyn did this for the sake of the peace agreement Bogat promised.
Most of the soldiers here were young men, with the ages mostly 19-36 years old. Sheyn could understand that a young man like them would be attracted to his body, but the problem was the look of his face now. He thought that his face might scare people. The female warrior looked at Sheyn with a cold gaze, and was frightened by the scar on Sheyn's face.
If anything happens to her, Sheyn will take care of it herself. After all, this was for the sake of peace between the Empire and the country of origin of this green army.
Sheyn is not the type of woman who can be seduced by money alone, nor captured by violence. However, if there was someone who approached him politely, he would be serious about considering a man with such a nature. If Sheyn meets a man who is only interested in his body, there is no other option but to kick************they are.
In the end, all he did was waste time inside this vast fortress. Even Sheyn had no idea where the east was and where the west was when inside the fort.
Now, the peace treaty his father promised may be threatened if he does not meet the green army chief. Sheyn just sat pensively between the buildings with a green base. This area is a storage area for weapons and ammunition, and several soldiers are seen conducting checks.
Sheyn could smell the gunpowder from the building behind her.
“The aroma is like explosive powder for cannon.”
However, what Sheyn saw from the window was not a cannon like the Imperial military had. There are so many weapons that look very dangerous and devastating.
Some of the soldiers who saw Sheyn peeked into the weapons and ammunition storage room ignored her. Because there are many locals who visit the fort and do the same. Even female soldiers had become victims of the seduction of adventurers who obtained permission to visit the fort.
Locals who become recruits and are paid to become information providers try to approach Sheyn. They were citizens of the Empire who lived in poverty, and willingly worked for the enemy for their survival. At least they are not paid in rupiah, but with food or things that are commensurate with their work.
“Nona, who are you looking for?”
“I am looking for the supreme leader of this army.”
However, after Sheyn turned around to talk to the two men, they were immediately shocked after seeing Sheyn's face.
“Princess Sheyn, forgive us for barely recognizing you.”
Sheyn stared flatly at the two men who were teenagers, about 20 years old. He wondered to himself, “Why are there Imperial citizens here?”
These two men were examples of the Empire's incompetence in regard to the welfare of its people. Just because it wanted to obtain food and money, some of the Empire's residents accepted the offer to become information seekers for their country's enemies.
Earning money means gaining the trust of the green forces. Those in the work of finding information never get a threat, it is precisely the Empire that always harasses these green troops.
The TNI forces, which now have the official name of the Otherworldly Expeditionary Force, have the authority to kill those who are proven to be threatening these forces. It must also go through the investigation process before punishing the relevant parties. In fact, Imperial residents working as TNI information seekers continued to be monitored.
“There are some warriors who can speak our language, but there is only one person who is really fluent.”
Another world can speak our language!?
Sheyn was really overjoyed, and she even had something to ask the person who could use the local language so eloquently.
From morning until noon, he had asked many people. Unable to communicate with them, Sheyn nearly falls into despair.
“That's a person who can speak our language fluently.”
Nio is seen pushing the main battle tank whose turret parts have been removed to reduce the load. The towing vehicle that was carried was very little, so inevitably the male soldiers with all their might pulled and pushed the body of the tank without this cannon.
Veins began to emerge from their foreheads and muscular hands, while the Combat Group Commanders continued to cheer them up with loudspeakers.
The two men approached Nio and told him if there was anyone who wanted to meet. After adjusting his breath after pushing this nearly 20-tonne vehicle, Nio approached the woman the two men pointed at.
“What are you looking for me, miss?”
Nio wasn't even surprised when there was a girl who had a terrible scar. Because Nio himself in some parts of his face was also injured, including a wound on his right cheek that was quite large.
While getting the wound, Nio felt that his right cheek was almost torn after having a brutal fight.
However, Nio felt that the clothes this girl was wearing signified that she was the Emperor's family.
“Sorry, but can you come with me?”
“Yes, yes, as long as you listen to my words, I will go wherever you want.”
The corner of Nio's eyes twitched after listening to this girl's reply. Thus, Sheyn complies with Nio's request and follows him, as a suspected spy.

The interior of the Imperial palace was more similar to ‘village of the demon lord’, due to the lack of lighting in this place and relying only on a few candles that were set up on the pillars of the building's support. The building is surrounded by a natural fortress in the form of several mountains and a large river that is enough for 6 Fregat-class warships to pass side by side.
On the throne, seen Bogat with some nobles members of the military faction and some women who will be used as entertainers. They were all seen grinning when the slaves they got from Indonesia were ready ‘used’ after Sheyn's mission was completed.
Sheyn's job is to create a green army that will come to the Empire to sign a false peace treaty. However, Bogat was not at all worried about the eldest daughter being captured or killed by green troops. All he wanted was to lure the green troops in the Empire and destroy them on the battlefield of his creation. Of course the slaves would be involved in Bogat's plans and the nobles of the military faction.
The comfort women obtained by the nobles came from the Demihuman race, especially the eared and tailed cats. Humans of such races are famous for their charming bodies. That was the cause of the Empire's conquest with some of the tribes of this cat-eared race. Tribes with races like this are spread very much in this world, of course with their uniqueness each according to the continent they live in.
However, several countries, including the Luan Empire made the Demihuman race slaves.
It looks like this room by Bogat has been turned into a brothel, with the object of these cat women. The nobles of the military faction took turns enjoying their bodies, although each had obtained one cat woman.
Before Bogat would join this dirty scene, a voice called out to him.
“Yes noble, if you want to have fun, you do not have to be with such savage and dirty women.”
Some of the cat women sobbed, then limped away with their bodies adorned with bruises.
What undermined their activities was the Imperial Commander Luan who supported Bogat's plan.
“It's okay, we treat all races the same, regardless of their differences with us. The cat woman's body is the best I've ever seen.”
The houses of the Demihuman race humans that the Imperial army had conquered had been destroyed, and some of them were on the verge of extinction. Some of them were scattered throughout the Empire and lived in misery. Very much different from the Demihuman race in Arevelk Kingdom right?
The cat girl races who had been enjoyed by the nobles, thinking if they had betrayed the race and vowed to take revenge on the Empire. Their minds went awry as the Emperor tried to lure green troops into the capital to destroy them there.
“Actually I have a problem to report.”
“What is it, talk!”
“The nobles of the peace faction, they showed signs of supporting Sheyn and made plans to ally with the green forces in order to depose you.”
“It looks like it's not too big a thing, because that green army we're going to destroy in the capital.”
“Are you really going to kill the slaves in front of the green troops?”
“Of course, so morals they must have collapsed because we killed the people of their nation.”
