“What's going on?”
Tense sounds filled the wireless communication of the entire soldier. The members of the Combat Group were so anxious that they instantly acted quickly.
The members of Combat Groups 1 and 2 improved their positions, and some people looked towards the shots, others looked the other way to prevent anyone from escaping their sight.
“There! They retreated towards the square!”
A warning from a member of the Squad of Combat Group 1 led some soldiers to open fire which downed several enemy soldiers.
The monitors on several command vehicles showed estimates of enemy numbers and spread in the capital. Hundreds of camouflaged drones were scattered throughout the Imperial capital. That makes the operation easy.
After receiving an order from the Combat Group Commander, the Squad Commander brought their members to where the enemy was fleeing.
Spread out!
Obeying the hand codes of their leaders, the members of the Squad spread out to welcome the arrival of the enemy.
The enemy that had attacked the Cruiser Regions escorting the representatives looked like they were not Imperial troops. Because they were wearing different attributes to the Empire's army. In this way, the entire Combat Group had no choice but to treat anyone who attacked them as an enemy. No, even if they were unarmed, they should be considered a potential enemy.
“Whoever carries a weapon is the enemy!” the phrase was used in war films to mock all the improbable reasons on the battlefield. When one thought about it, how could anyone rationalize the killing of humans? Anyone who can calm down makes decisions more frightening than a madman. So it is only natural that in war, people are driven by madness, and people who cannot control madness will be considered mentally ill.
In addition, it is a rule that people who do not identify themselves may be considered enemies, and those who do not wear local military attributes will not be given the same rights as armed soldiers.
However, there is a bleeding heart of people siding with those who violate the rules of war, and sympathize with those who use civilians as shields. Those who use civilians as shields will be destroyed. But the party that was used as a shield, instead pointed to the troops who hunted them and called them “killer” and “ cold-blooded animals”.
Indeed, the TNI is here not to repel the forces of the Empire and the Kingdom of Hrabro, but to exterminate them. Whoever uses civilians as shields, they will get nothing but annihilation. Normally, one would blame those hiding behind the civilians for engaging them in battle.
The battlefield is a place where all things like fun, misery, failure, madness, and romance come together into one. To protect comrades and survive, there is one strict rule such as, “If it's an enemy, shoot it!”. But soldiers are required to have good discrimination with their targets, as if they were killing robots. If they can't do that, they are labeled as “cacat” people.
Hundreds of soldiers who formed a line, were shot from the front by dozens of soldiers armed with assault rifles and heavy machinery. The hearts of TNI soldiers feel guilty when facing enemies with technology very far from them. The Imperial and Royal forces of Hrabro had mentally been defeated even before facing the green warrior bullets and grenades.
The gunfire support has begun….
Dozens of attack helicopters fired their rockets and cannons, while the infantrymen opened fire as well. Explosions were heard everywhere, making all the civilians who heard it prostrate while covering their ears.
“It's bad! The giants have appeared!”
“Oh, they're kind of minotaur.”
The gigantic shapes of fortress-headed with heavy armor loomed between the hundreds of Imperial soldiers who grinned against the Combat Group 1 shooters.
These giants held tongakt as big as a telephone pole. Anyone foolish enough to approach them, would be crushed by their overwhelming might.
Lining up and forming defenses like a walking wall, dozens of minotaurs advanced through a storm of bullets and rockets like heavy infantry. The presence of these monsters felt more intimidating than a single cavalry filled with main battle tanks.
Since they did not have a defense strong enough to hold back those monsters, the Combat Group 1 shooting Commander ordered its members not to retreat immediately. He chose to have his troops flank the enemies of both missions and destroy them. The soldiers acted after receiving their orders.
“Quick-fast! We must join Combat Group 3 before the bombing begins!”
The Combat Group 1 shooting commander gets a call from the attack helicopter aviators to immediately carry out the attack before the bombing begins.
A squad of troops filled with monsters, consisting mostly of monotaurs drew closer to the shooters of Combat Group 1. As their Commander had said, all one could do was to continue attacking and praying for the enemy to run out after the entire magazine the soldiers were carrying ran out of bullets.
Five attack helicopters hovering above the gunner of Combat Group 1 launched a ferocious attack. Even their rocket attacks were capable of destroying 2 Monster army squads at once, this was the best way to exterminate monsters.
However, another army of monsters continued to arrive in addition to the human army. The bullet from the machine gun was not even able to penetrate the armored giant ogre. The bullets only bounced off after hitting their armor, and the hands of the ogres shook the batons wildly and could probably destroy everything.
Some ogres even tried to throw their batons, in hopes of dropping the attack helicopter. But all their throws miss, but if there is a chance one of the batons hits the helicopter, it can cut it in half. Just imagining it being able to make an attack helicopter aviator break out in cold sweat.
Even experienced soldiers feel that this army is not resistant to hordes of enemies in the form of monsters. The aviators and gun operators on the attack helicopters fired their rockets, destroying dozens of giant armored ogres.
Dust and wood chips rained down on one part of the Imperial capital, but rhinoceros-shaped monsters appeared and destroyed civilian homes.

The first thing the 5-man fighter jet airman asked was the situation in the air.
When radio operators from the headquarters replied that dozens of flying lizards were enemy air power, they raised their heads as if they could not believe that they were fantasy animals, rather than fellow warplanes.
The capital is completely without anti-aircraft defenses? The flight officer seemed to be in disbelief with such a statement. Moments later, one of Lettu's airmen recalled that they were fighting in another world that allowed for the absence of air defense.
Those words were so tempting, how?
However, it is better to avoid the foolish mistake of underestimating the enemy, but do not praise the enemy too much. There are many unexpected things that can happen on the battlefield, but all fighter jet aviators are happy to welcome it.
Given the difference in strength between the TNI and the Luan and Hrabro alliance that was so far away, and the entire Combat Group was ordered to exterminate all that harmed the Indonesian people, but we don't have time to think about the impact of today's battle.
The Empire again waged war, risking everything in this war in the name of revenge. It seemed like the leader of this country was half hoping that his troops could win this battle.
But for the good or bad impact caused in this war, the entire Combat Group did not care if Luan Empire and Hrabro Kingdom started the war.
The Combat Group 6 unit which is an additional air power Expeditionary Force was recently formed with a force of 5 fighter jets with wings as wide as 18 meters. It fits inside the Gate, and does not have to be assembled like a transport aircraft.

The 1st cruiser team managed to finish off a Company of Imperial troops that prevented them from meeting Nio.
As dozens of enemies surrounded Nio armed only with fighting knives, Chandra calmly pulled the heavy machine gun he was operating. Hundreds of bullets fired were able to subvert the enemy in less than 20 seconds.
Nio who was shocked by the sudden sound of gunfire immediately landed on the ground while protecting his head.
However, some of the enemies could still stand up and again besiege Nio. But, the creature they surrounded was a lazy and violent warrior.
Nio stared intently at the 15 Imperial soldiers and said, “That is willing to fight me, please come forward!”. But none of them dared to take a step forward. The soldiers under the commander were confused, and they looked at the commander.
The commander's eyes widened in disbelief as the hundreds of Imperial soldiers who surrounded the square were massacred, and the rest fled with mental attacks.
His body trembled uncontrollably as Nio walked closer towards him while chastising one by one his soldiers who were trying to fight against this creature. Nio's strapping body was now filled with incisions from the enemy's sword he had struck.
The weapon Nio was carrying was not a long black steel stick that exploded and could kill his soldiers, in Nio's hands was just a fighting knife. Is he going to die? Why is this plan not going according to plan?
Even though he was a commander in chief, he should be able to fight a subordinate warrior like Nio. And then, Nio pointed the tip of his knife towards the commander, and spoke.
“Alright, Mr. Commander. Like you said, these girls are the ones you captured from my country. That means you should have more captives right?”
With a mocking smile, the commander replied, “Heh! I don't need to answer questions from a bastard like you!”
The commander said such a thing in order to restore his pride that collapsed after being beaten by Nio. If Nio knelt in front of him and apologized, then the commander-in-chief would make Nio his subordinate forever. But if Nio still showed killing intent, this young man could go ahead and do just that.
Sucipto who heard that Nio kept being called by the non-wearing grill then said, “Nio, make him talk!”
“Ready!”
This was the first time Nio was so happy to obey the orders of his superiors.
The moment Nio stepped up, the commander drew his sword and scratched Nio's face to bleed quite a lot. Nio was surprised, but he immediately calmed down when the commander had confirmed his victory after successfully injuring Nio's face.
"Damn! My face is already full of tofu wounds!"
This scene is a bit rough, and we need to comply with the age restrictions of publication of this scene. However, let's describe it by writing down the cut of the scene only.
On the stage, Nio repeatedly hit the commander who had a height of about 196 cm with a loud, almost formless face, a sound like a broken branch was heard, he said, blood came out from his nostrils and mouth, some of the commander's fingers were broken, while Nio had a joyful face.
Thousands of soldiers in the square were hit by a mental attack after their commander was beaten to the point of almost dying by Nio.
Unable to stand this sight, Sheyn turned her face away. While Bogat and Lukav look furious because their plans turned out to make a lot of troops reduced.
Of course the troops present in the capital square were thinking of stopping Nio. However, when Nio beat the commander, the sound of explosions was everywhere without stopping, they thought that Nio was doing this.
“Stop! Wait, stop! That's sick! My hands and fingers are broken, let me go.”
As a closing strike, Nio beat the commander in the face so strongly that the sound of shouting sounded so loud and heart-shaking. Some teeth were seen near the head of the fallen commander with a face that was almost destroyed.
This terrible scene finally ended when Nio rubbed his blood-soaked hands belonging to the commander.
The corpses scattered in the square, not so bad than the shape of the commander's face after being beaten many times by Nio. Sucipto then ordered his entire army to stop the attack, as he knew that conditions were easing a bit.
Only by Nio's actions did the troops who were about to head for the square prefer to retreat and prepare the force back.
The commander's teeth were splattered on the stage, blood was coming out of his mouth and nose, everyone who saw this was terrified.
Nio glanced at the commander with a flat gaze, and pointed the tip of his knife at his neck.
“If you do not answer my question, this will probably be the last question you will hear for the last time.”
The commander could not speak due to the excruciating pain, and could only nod weakly while moaning in pain. Then, she prostrated herself at Nio's feet even though this was an embarrassing act for someone like her.
“The empire gets 100 slaves taken from your country, and the Kingdom of Hrabro gets 120 slaves from your country.”
Inwardly, Nio murmured, “That's the corresponding amount to the missing victim.”
After answering the question, the commander vomited blood and fouled Nio's shoes.
Hearing the statement of the Imperial Commander, Lukav immediately broke into a cold sweat as the entire green army representative glanced at him. The words of the commander could have plunged the Kingdom of Hrabro into a war that destroyed his country.
Sucipto faced the Emperor who was standing with his head covered in cold sweat. Not only was Bogat frightened, all the nobles of the military faction were also very frightened, even the noble women fell unconscious when they heard the sound of the explosion that occurred long enough earlier.
“Your Majesty, not only kidnapped our citizens, but you also intend to fight with us again. I don't know what god you worship, but I want you to pray for the safety of the Empire.”
After saying that, Sucipto exchanged glances with Nio for his words to be translated.
“Too loving its people, it is the worst weakness of a nation. Your country is not strong enough to fight against the Imperial forces!”
“Indeed our country has many weaknesses. That's why we train people like Nio. Everyone knows that peace is the preparation for war. One more thing, our country has gone through a lot more bloody history than the Empire. Do you intend to fight with us once again?”
Sucipto's words were a threat, even though this general had stopped combat operations after the sun had shone a little.
Bogat calmly clicked his tongue and spoke, “You yourself said that, the Imperial army is much bigger than you! So Indonesia, let's go to war!”
