105 – Chapter 35. Civil War – 2
-106 –
A squadron of fighters flies through the sky.
Anti-aircraft guns installed on high hills shoot fire.
The colorful magic that embroidered the air engulfed the squadron, and several fighters crashed with their tails on fire.
Qwaang-!
The defense wasn’t perfect either.
From nob le mt l dot com
Powerful magic and bombs poured from the air turned the earth upside down.
The anti-aircraft gun positions and defense lines that were hard to build were destroyed in an instant.
The soldier who was firing at the anti-aircraft gun quickly jumped to the side and rolled into the trench.
Even if the actions and judgments were a little late, even the body could not be left intact.
Like other comrades left behind.
After a while, the soldier stuck his head out of the trench.
I was the only one alive.
The fighters roamed the air in search of prey, and the enemy tanks approaching from the horizon in the distance became close enough to be able to see the model with their own eyes.
This is not a typical Gorgon tank, but large tanks that are intimidating just looking at them.
A soldier has seen an unknown tank fighting three Gorgons at the same time.
Anti-tank weapons have already been hit by fighters and bombers.
All that was left was a single gun in his hand.
The soldier didn’t want to die.
As an adult, he was dragged to the battlefield without knowing the English language of the civil war that began suddenly.
The soldiers held out their arms to protect their parents, brothers, friends, and lovers in their hometown.
The lives of someone’s children, brothers, friends, and lovers who were dragged away like that were lost.
In the early days of the war, the soldiers who were skeptical of the civil war did not actively fight.
As if in the past, lords played ‘soldiers’ with each other’s enlisted soldiers, when one side’s dominance was predicted, the other side was often frightened and retreated.
They weren’t desperate.
Thanks to the large number of troops, even the elite army could easily attack the prince’s army, which was defended by the overwhelming prince’s army.
However, after retaking the island three weeks after the start of the war, things went strangely.
New weapon I’ve never seen before. An army you don’t know where it came from. The constant pouring of material.
When the prince mobilized the elite troops he had been hiding, the situation was reversed like the palm of his hand.
Tanks that deal with three gorgons per unit, fighters filling the sky, and even large soldiers wearing mountain-type power armor.
The young soldiers belonged to a unit that had been severely defeated by them in the last battle. He had seen them up close and directly.
The soldiers in black power armor advancing through the fire nets of the latest cannons created by the Empire’s wizards were fear itself.
As they beckoned, white light fell from the sky.
He survived thanks to bowing his head down the trench just before, but most of his fellow soldiers were killed on the spot.
It was the same this time.
The Crown Prince can’t stop their advance.
The soldier’s jaw trembled.
He rummaged through his pocket, pulled out a gem the size of his little fingernail, and put it into his gun.
A faint blue mark appeared above the barrel to indicate the remaining amount of mana stones.
The remaining number of uses is probably about 20 rounds.
Even he could not expect an effective blow against tanks or fighters.
The soldier bowed deeply and ran through the trench.
After running for a while, I saw an ally preparing to withdraw.
But the soldiers did not join them.
It was intuition.
This intuition played a big role in his survival after two troop annihilations.
Their retreat will not succeed.
The young soldier thought so and hid himself in the shade.
“Get your supplies quickly! It’s a hike that might take several days! Bring your own food!”
“Just grab the magic gem and jump! One weapon is enough!”
The officers were looking at the bottom of the hill at a glance as they hurried the soldiers.
The hill was high, but it was not steep and the road was well paved in the middle.
It was also a strategic point where it would take a long time to bypass this place as sheer mountain ranges were connected on either side.
The Crown Prince was on the verge of retreating, giving up such a key point.
If this place is taken away, the plains will continue to the islands.
It is difficult to build a strong defensive line, so it will be difficult to block their advance.
“If I had a helicopter, I would be able to retreat quickly… ….”
“What kind of dog grass are you talking about? Would a helicopter come to such a dangerous place?”
The number of helicopters passing over the battlefield has drastically decreased since the beginning of the war.
The Crown Prince’s army promised to suppress air supremacy, but the performance of the enemy’s fighters exceeded expectations and did not respond properly.
So the helicopter units of the rumors were hardly seen at the forefront.
And there were other rumors about the helicopter.
“The guys who were fighting in the Velonas Plains last time heard a call to bring a silver helicopter pilot.”
“Oh, I was there too.”
The Imperial Regular Army gathered all their belongings, buried the remaining supplies, and headed for the mountain that led to the end of the trench.
Curious eyes turned to the soldiers who participated in the Battle of the Plains.
“So, how was it?”
“The contents are the same as rumors. There were no loudspeakers, no broadcasts, no shouts. Similar to now, the enemy fighters completely subdued the sky, and the tanks were rushing back and retreating, and suddenly a voice entered my head.”
The soldier patted his head.
Then the first soldier to talk about the rumor secretly tapped him on the arm.
“Not that. You said it was a female voice?”
“That’s right. No, it sounded more like a blunt child’s voice than a woman.”
“Heh. A child can use such powerful mental magic?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it was magic.”
The soldier let out a long sigh.
“I have never seen a silver helicopter. Aren’t you supposed to find it on Selmeyer’s side?”
“You don’t have to listen to the demands of your enemies.”
“That’s right.”
He shrugged his shoulders and walked down the mountain path.
The snowy hike in winter was a bit risky, but it was much better than running through the plains being attacked by enemy tanks.
The night in the mountains came quickly.
“Never smoke or light a fire. Eat and drink without using fire, and take care of your body.”
“Yes.”
Although the soldiers spit swear words inside, they responded calmly on the outside.
After dinner, a soldier who knew the geography of this place showed us the way.
To get to the small village near the island, the place of reunion, I had to slowly change direction.
The soldier walking in the lead raised his clenched left hand.
Those who followed hid behind nearby rocks or trees, and those who had nowhere to hide fell to their knees on the snow-covered floor.
Kick- Kick-
With a creepy mechanical sound, a huge object emitting black smoke appeared in the gloomy darkness.
The object protruding out of nowhere like a giant who got up from lying face down in the forest was strangely familiar.
“Arachne?”
“Shh!”
It looked similar to the Arachne, the Republic’s main tank.
But obviously it wasn’t Arachne.
The six-legged chariot was smaller than expected.
Then, whose side is the 10-meter-high legged monster tank in front of you?
As the tank’s barrel slowly turned, the Imperial Army was scattered in all directions.
“Come back! Damn! This is desertion-“
It was the will of an officer who shouted whale whales at the soldiers who ran away without looking back.
A black beam of light, clearly visible in the dark, penetrated the officer’s body.
After that, the soldiers who escaped several tens of meters were no exception.
The magic that spread in a wide fan shape annihilated the remnants who were fleeing in all directions at once.
What was left was only a part of the limb.
The gigantic polygonal tank advanced slowly.
They, who were tasked with annihilating the remnants who had fled to the mountain, had already completely subdued this mountain range.
That meant that almost all roads to the islands had already fallen into the hands of the prince.
“Damn Central Army bastards. It looks good.”
The new weapon that suddenly appeared out of nowhere does not contain a spirit.
There were only a handful of existing imperial troops that could board a sergeant that only had the skills of a pilot.
The soldier who was chosen as the few slapped the black masked person sitting next to him on the shoulder.
“You think so too, don’t you?”
“… ….”
“Sheesh. It’s not fun.”
Most of those who sided with the prince were from the provincial army.
The empire was suffering from excessive centralization policies, and before the emperor’s death, the prince gathered his side, promising the development of the provinces.
So the army from all over the vast empire and the privates of the local lords belonged to the prince’s army.

People who have their faces covered with masks, masks, or masks have been seen frequently these days, but they used to think that it might be a military or regional tradition.
Because there are many strange customs in the world.
These reticent and unsociable people were from what region, and all new powerful tanks and fighters were riding on them.
There were many colleagues who were skeptical of this, but there was no reason to follow them, who were on the same side.
Of course, it was the result of adding a little magic to the confusion of the Asmodians’ perception.
The gigantic multi-faceted chariot re-entered the mountains.
The Crown Prince’s army, who was defeated in the wide plain in front of Yoyo, could only survive by passing through this mountain range, so they could hunt dozens to hundreds of defeated soldiers a day.
And the young soldier of the Crown Prince did not make such a choice.
His intuition told him that a fort built on a hill was the safest.
Hours of hiding in the snowy corners, among the frozen corpses.
An enemy tank unit was passing by.
The young soldier held his breath and fell low.
Crush.
‘Oops!’
I was lying on my stomach for no reason, and then there was the sound of a newspaper that was being covered for cold weather.
The helmet of the Power Armor that passed nearby turned left and right.
The young soldier tensed up and grabbed his gun.
‘Please don’t get caught, please don’t get caught!’
It seems that his prayers did not reach the sky.
The red visor in the dark turned to this place.
The moment you try to pull the trigger with the judge’s plate,
Qwaang-!
From nob le mt l dot com
Pillars of fire that looked like they were going to be blind rose from all directions.
When the enemy who was aiming for him was swept away by a pillar of fire, the young soldier quickly got up.
He ran forward without looking back.
I didn’t know where that direction was.
I just do what my intuition tells me.
Too Do Do Do-
The sound of propellers heard several times when coming up from the rear to the front.
The helicopter unit has arrived.
The soldier glanced up at the sky with delight.
‘Silver?’
A silver helicopter glimmering in the dark, followed by a few helicopters.
He wasn’t the transport helicopter he knew.
Besides, a silver helicopter.
I remembered a rumor that was in full swing among the regular military these days.
I didn’t hear it myself, but there were not one or two people who said they heard a voice saying, ‘Bring a silver helicopter pilot’ from the last battlefield.
‘I hope…….’
The young soldier saw the magic pouring from the helicopter.
As the magic of all the attributes that embroidered the sky exploded on the earth, the terrifying and large tanks were instantly neutralized.
The tanks and enemy soldiers passing the hill fired an anti-aircraft fire, but the helicopter could not reach the floating height.
The helicopters, which had been pouring attack magic for a while, returned with only a silver helicopter.
The young soldier’s intuition signaled that he would die the moment he missed them.
He immediately adjusted the mod of his gun.
「Flame Bullet」
Looking at the blurry text, it seems that there is not much left of the magic stone.
The soldier fired over his head without hesitation and crawled right into the trench.
Magic bullets fell behind my back.
The enemies had not yet been wiped out, so it was natural for them to be found out.
He clenched his teeth and crawled through the trenches, hoping that the pilot of the Silver Helicopter would spot the flare and recognize that it was a rescue signal.
“Ah… ….”
A gun was aimed at the young soldier’s head.
In the end, his intuition didn’t save himself.
Facing his death, instead of giving up, he rolled to his side and stretched out his hand.
The enemy’s gun spewed fire, and even though the waist was pierced, the soldier grabbed the muzzle and pulled the gun sharply.
However, the enemy wearing power armor rescued the soldier from the trench as if fishing.
“Wow!”
The soldier who kicked his side, where his blood was flowing, couldn’t breathe properly.
Enemies wearing power armor began to gather around.
The soldier, who was held by one hand and forcibly raised, stumbled without being able to properly control himself.
This time the young soldier had a foreboding of death.
He closed his eyes as he looked at the gun that was aimed at him and heard someone’s voice in his ears.
“Bow down.”
The voice of a young woman with a small, high-pitched voice.
The soldier bowed his back without knowing a word.
Again, the gun fired fire, and the soldier crouched down with gunshot wounds to his shoulder and leg.
Blood is splattered on the snowy field, which is soiled by the soldiers’ feet.
It wasn’t the blood of a young soldier.
The enemies surrounding him fell one after the other and screamed.
The long sword of the girl who tore the power armor they were wearing was like a piece of paper, and there was a dark burning black flame.
The soldier rubbed his blurry eyes and shook his head.
A girl in silver armor with a flaming sword and gun in the middle of her battlefield, taking down multiple power armored soldiers at once?
If someone said something like this, I would have said I was crazy.
It’s hard to believe even though I saw it right before my eyes.
With that thought, the soldier fainted.
“Ah, what is it really?”
It was good that they drove an attack helicopter unit at night and captured all the tanks there because of the intelligence that an important point was stolen.
However, post-processing was very cumbersome.
A stupid soldier caught by the enemy after firing a flare was bleeding and fainting.
If you leave it like this, you will die soon.
If you don’t save it, there’s no reason to even help you with unification.
Reluctantly, he pulled out an emergency recovery potion and a bandage from the pouch on his waist.
The bandage was moistened with potion and wrapped around the side where blood was flowing, and then pulled the back of the bandage and moved to a position where the helicopter could be floated.
「Seraph 1. Where are you?”
Chermia’s voice came out of the pendant.
“This is Seraph 1. I’m taking care of it.”
「What? Erif. Are there still trains left?”
“No. A few soldiers.”
“You were the one who told me not to worry about every single soldier.”
“There was a friendly survivor.”
Communication is paused.
In the meantime, I called the main body from a suitable vacant lot, put the soldier on the back seat, and I sat in the cockpit.
As soon as the seat belt was fastened, Cermia’s voice was heard again.
「Do you need a transport helicopter?」
“No. Burnt in the back seat I’ll join you right away.”
“Okay. Do you know where the rendezvous is?”
“Yes. See you later.”
「Larger.」
After finishing communication with Chermia, the helicopter was launched.
Before the official announcement that the enemies were demons, the operation of the attack helicopter was better not to be noticed.
I gathered a lot of evidence and sent it to the Holy Kingdom, so Ireana and the pope, who recently became saints, will take care of themselves.
The dark winter sky contained snow clouds.
When a full-scale blizzard begins, a civil war will develop into a war across the continent.
Can the war be over before next year’s opening ceremony begins?
Maybe our sophomore pilot class students just finish their sophomore year and graduate directly from the 1st year. I’ve already done enough in practice.
Of course, if the war spreads all the way to Selmeyer, school starts and graduations will all be useless.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, me and the helicopter unit came out on my own.
The moment the Holy Kingdom is announced and war is declared against the demons, the rebels colluding with the demons become the achievements of the continent.
And the Holy Kingdom, Selmeier, Canael, and the small country Kariya and other allies will rise to annihilate the demons.
It will take a while for Kanbal, who is aiming at his back, but the National Guard will block it well.
When a full-scale war started, there was something I had to do.
The white-haired fighter ace.
You have to catch that vampire.
