Fantasy Self-Defense Force (13)
Not only the black blue around the right eye yesterday, but also a red palm print on the left side of the face today. In addition to this www.biquge.info cheeks are also covered with blood marks on five claws that look like they have been scratched by a cat. The victim's face showed such a tragic picture.
"So, what happened?"
In the middle of the night, after a big commotion that almost toppled the roof, standing in front of Pina were the Self-Defense Forces led by Itami, Miss Poses, who was escorted to Pinna, and the maids in the mansion.
Her Royal Highness Pinna Golanda, the Imperial Princess, now felt like swallowing a burning stone, and felt a burning pain in her abdomen again, and asked for an explanation as to why Itami had more scars on his face. Although she was terribly afraid, she had to ask stubbornly from her position.
"Who else but that guy?"
"Oh, everybody knows that, don't you, Miss Peruccia. β
After Kurata echoed, Peluccia and the maids stepped back for the time being.
"The injury to my right eye is pre-existing and has nothing to do with today. Lori's testimony of Reilai and Durga also stepped aside.
The remaining one is Miss Poses, who was escorted by the Self-Defense Forces with her hands cut behind her, and Kurata and Kuribayashi followed behind in order to hold her down.
Poses bowed her head, "Yes, I did it," and admitted in a sobbing voice like a mosquito.
In comparison, Pinna's sigh was so deep that everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
Not only did her stomach hurt, but her head was about to blow up, and Pinna had to reach out and hold her head.
"Oh my God, how the hell is this going to clean up the palace?!"
"Well, we're just here to take the captain back. I'll leave it to you here, and we'll leave when dawnΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Tomita said so, but he didn't know what Pinna was facing, and spoke so lightly purely to reduce trouble. For him, what he saw tonight was just a beautiful woman he liked, rushing up to the sea and slashing Itami to this extent.
But Tomita's expression is as serious as an ultimatum for Pinna, "do whatever you like".
And when Leilai translated, the flat tone that lacked modulation and frustration was even more powerful to enhance the effect of this threat.
"It's so bothering!"
Pinna couldn't let them go back like this, so she kept making excuses to comfort everyone, such as saying that please stay and have breakfast together, and that I hope you will accept the hospitality of the palace, and so on.
Kurata continued to add with an apologetic attitude.
"Actually, Captain Itami has been summoned to testify before the Diet, so he has to leave for Japan today. β
At this point, Leilai's translation was transposed due to a problem with the choice of words.
"Captain Itami was ordered by the Neon Senate to return to China to report, and he has to return today!"
Hearing this reason, Pinna showed an expression like a "shout" in the famous painting.
In the Empire, only those super elites who embarked on the path of birth were able to step into the Senate and embark on the path of honor. If they are people who are expected to become leaders in the future, even if they are still in a low position, they will be given the opportunity to report to the Senate on the state of the war, or even directly meet with the emperor to express their opinions.
And when she knew that Itami would actually be summoned by their senate, she immediately misunderstood that Itami was such an elite talent with an important status.
It's actually annoying such an important big man, and if it goes on like this, it's over.,If you don't find a way to deal with it well.γ
At this moment, Pinna made a judgment in an instant.
She clenched her fists and jerked up straight, showing her determination.
"Then, please be sure to let Hongu go with you!"
ββββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββββββββββ
The wilderness around the hills of Arnus, farther out of the six-pointed Star Fort, was exactly like a field defense textbook, with communication trenches and bunkers of all kinds, barbed wire and pillboxes as dense as paranoia, and all who tried to approach them were turned away.
Then there is a forest on the south side of the hill.
This is a refugee camp where Relai and other refugees from Gota Village live, and although it is said to be a forest as a backdrop, it seems that the forests in the special area are not much different from the forests of Japan, and it is probably impossible to point out the differences if it were not for a specialized botanist.
On the east side of the hill is the site of the civil works where the runway and hangar are being built.
An empty self-camp area has been set up in a corner of the base, and several F-4 Ghost fighters can be seen assembling in the camp.
Now that they've been ruined to this point, the emotion that you expect to be felt when you walk through the door to another world is probably gone.
If you really want to say it, the emotion you feel through the portal is probably lower than that of the American rat who looks like a fantasy park.
No, it's not that there is a lack of entertainment, after all, for ordinary people, the style of the amusement park is always much more comfortable than the camp gate of this station. For the self-defense officers, who have been accustomed to this kind of murderous barracks atmosphere for a long time, this scenery is nothing more than a continuation of daily life, but for ordinary people, it is also another world where the atmosphere is not quite right.
It can be said that in front of the portal, no matter the scenery inside and outside the door, there is no difference of any degree now.
So for Pinna Golanda and Poseth Goe Paresti, the Arnous Hills themselves have become otherworldly.
Pinna made a request to apologize to Kenjun and his superiors for the unexpected breach of the agreement, and Itami complied with the request, agreeing to take the princess with her.
But Itami didn't have time for Pinna to drag and tear all the way to Arnus with her horseback attendants and other large teams. Therefore, Itami put forward a condition: "Only Pinna and another companion are allowed to ride in the high-speed vehicle together." In fact, what Itami said in his heart was that he hoped to use such difficulties to make them retreat.
However, Pinna, who is worthy of a cheerful personality, entrusted the security work of Itarika to Poseth and Pennyzhu, and the maintenance and management of the county of Vermar and the acting officer of Hammidon, and announced to his subordinates that "I will go alone", putting on a resolute and determined attitude.
But sure enough, everyone couldn't let go of the princess to go deep into the enemy camp alone, and Poseth and Penny Bead vied to volunteer to go with the princess. Pinna finally named Poses to come with her, hurriedly packed her luggage, and then forcibly got into the high car and set off.
So the tall car drove at a fast speed and quickly to Arnous.
The landscape of Arnous was very different from what they had known it to be.
The hills, which used to have nothing but dirt, have now given birth to a walled city in the blink of an eye.
Pinna and her group were greeted by a helicopter in a training flight overhead, flying in a three-plane formation with a noe (close to the ground) and making sharp turns. Hovering in the air with the power of the engine, the wind whipped up by the main rotors seemed to sweep the ground away.
In the midst of this, the train of the Third Reconnaissance Team also braved this gravel and dust to rush across the newly paved road.
After crossing the OPL (Outpost Surveillance Line), it will come into the control of the Self-Defense Forces.
They are located in a vast space known as FEBA (Frontal Edge of Combat Positions), a vast wilderness of uninhabited wilderness that is now used as a training ground for exercises and training. It is also a cemetery where the corpses of pterosaurs can be found everywhere, and a workplace for the children of refugees in Gota.
The first thing that catches your eye is the formation of a team of self-defense officers, and the flag-bearers holding high the team flag in front of them to count the numbers. They were traveling in the opposite direction of the convoy and quickly passed by.
"One, two, one, two!"
"Mighty!"
"One, two, one, two!"
"Mighty!"
"Consecutive answers, one, two, three, four, report!"
Almost like this, the team members shouted loudly.
The detachment was quickly left behind by the convoy, but before it could turn its head and see them off, there were only skeleton buildings on the side of the road.
In consideration of the possible future attack on the capital of the empire, he asked Master Cato to supervise the work and tried to reproduce the ordinary structure of the houses and cities in this world.
These huts and simple skeletons, modeled after private houses, were used as training facilities for soldiers to prepare for street warfare.
At first, Pinna couldn't understand what the SDF members were doing.
In this world, the so-called battle is a battle in which knights or infantry take up short soldiers and rush towards the enemy with a shout of "ha-ah-ah-ah".
Once the enemy comes into contact, it's time to show your personal martial arts. Knock down the enemy that appears in front of you with swords, spears, or shields. Unlike the barbaric Frontier Horde, the Imperial Army did not allow its soldiers to engage in such random battles, but maintained a tight queue, maintaining a command structure under the command of a centurion, and constantly exchanging ranks between the front and back rows. In contrast to the enemy, who could only fight until they were cut down or exhausted, the Imperial Army was able to continue to have soldiers with sufficient stamina stand in the first row, and evacuate the tired and wounded to the rear to regroup.
Whether the terrain is plain or street, the nature of the battle is no different. The task of the field commander is to motivate the soldiers, lead them to defeat the enemy, and train the soldiers to hone their martial arts.
But it's different here. They were neither equipped with shields nor formed a dense tortoiseshell formation. They often spread out to run, stop suddenly, lie down suddenly, communicate with each other through gestures, and change between stillness and movement freely, and are a very flexible and mobile organization.
At the same time, they also raised iron rods in all directions. It's like a hedgehog.
What were they doing? Pinna tilted her head, puzzled.
But they all had the same iron staff that Itami had in his hand. I guess all the soldiers in Ziweidui are magicians. If that's the case, then that's the secret of their strength."
"But magicians are rare, after all, magic is a special ability. So, that means that the Self-Defense Forces have a lot of ways to train magicians?!" Poses echoed Pinna's exclamation and gave her own explanation.
Pinna could imagine the iron rod spewing fire and knocking down the enemy soldiers. Then, she immediately understood that the purpose of the Self-Defense Forces' training was to hide their bodies and guard against the enemy's movements, and to find and annihilate the enemy in various situations.
Even if they lie in ambush in the shadows and wait for them to approach, even if they try to hide in the second-floor window and release hidden arrows, even if they surround the knights and soldiers who raid their empire at the same time, they will be beaten into honeycombs with fire-breathing iron rods before they can build a heap of power with swords and spears.
"No, the rod is not magic, it's a weapon called a gun or a gun in their language. Poses's explanation was quickly denied by Lelai, who was sitting next to her.
"The Self-Defense Forces are based on firearms. In order to play a better role in battle, combat training has been carried out to this level. β
"It's a weapon, so it's the same thing as our sword or our bow?"
"Yes. The principle is also extremely simple, just seal the lead block and the explosive magic in an iron cylinder and release it. β
After looking at the piles of pterosaur corpses scattered all over the place, Leilai also noticed that their bodies had been punched out of large holes, and various phenomena such as lead and fragments stuck in their scales. According to Leilai's intellect and what he learned, saw, and heard, after rational thinking, he finally deduced the operating principle of the gun on his own.
Hearing this, Pinna suddenly felt dizzy, "Isn't it magic, but a weapon? If it is said that human beings have the ability to produce and manufacture this kind of weapon, then it is possible to equip all the soldiers with this kind of weapon?"
"Yes. So they are indeed a shot per man. β
"If that's the case, then the method of war will be completely different. No matter how many soldiers you have armed with guns and swords, it makes no sense for the enemy to use this method of warfare!"
"Yes. Therefore the imperial army was defeated, and the coalition armies of the kingdoms were also defeated. β
Suddenly, a Type 96 wheeled armored car rushed out and stopped, and after the rear hatch opened, many heavily armed soldiers spit out.
These soldiers, who rushed out of the car, quickly formed a line of horizontal formation, and raised their guns to face the imaginary enemy in front of them.
At this moment, Pinna could vividly imagine the cavalry and infantry being knocked to the ground with a bang and frowning.
"It's too slow!Move faster, run faster!Do it again!!"
With the commander's scolding, the SDF members returned to the car. Seeing this way of training, Pinna couldn't help but think, "Fundamentally, the methods of warfare are very different", which is different from the unknown horror that she saw in Itarica, she now understands the enemy army with her own reason and feels the specific horror.
Turning his head to look at Itami, Kuwabara, and Kurata sitting in the high-altitude vehicle, the thing they were holding in their hands was a non-magical weapon called a gun. In other words, even if it is Pinna or even Poses, as long as you have it in your hand, you can still use it.
If we had thoroughly understood the whole weapon, and if possible, had obtained it, at least this war would not have been such a one-sided tragedy. Pinna and the others understood this necessity. So we have to snatch this weapon, and we have to find craftsmen who can make the same thing regardless of the difficulty.
Noticing Pinna's determined expression, Leilai reminded her.
"There's no point in doing that. β
Lelai pointed out the window on the other side of the car.
On the other side of the wasteland, there were huge iron blocks like raging giant elephants, and what they saw was the scene of the roar of the 74-style chariot galloping.
"In their language, the word "small gun" means "small gun". Then on the other hand, there is also the so-called [big gun]. β
They saw the 105mm rifled gun of the Type 74 vehicle protruding from its turret.
"W-Is that one going to breathe fire, too?" said Poseth, groaning, just as Pinna had in mind. She realized that it was what the refugees in Gota Village called the "Staff of Steel" and other powerful weapons.
"Although I haven't seen the fire directly, it should be eight or nine or ten. β
There was no craftsman in the empire who could make something like that. Not only the empire, even if you search the whole continent, you probably can't find it, whether it's in the dungeons of the fairy world or among the masters of the dwarf race, I'm afraid the result will not change. This thing is really a monster from another world, and she is now completely convinced of the story of Yanlong's repulsion.
Iron Pegasus. The Iron Elephant. Who the hell are the Self-Defense Forces capable of mass-producing such things?
"Why are we running to attack such an opponent?"
In response to Pinna's whispered question, Leilai responded.
"Now the empire can step on the tail of the griffin~"
"You, you, don't talk as if it's none of your business. The empire is in danger of survival, how can it be so lightly stated?!" Poses angrily grabbed Lelai's shoulder, only to receive an even harsher answer.
"I'm a Lurudd, so it doesn't matter to me what happens to the Empire. "Lou Luther was a wandering wanderer with no fixed home. Although Relai is now settled, she and her people have no concept of a country or anything like that.
Although they all listened to it, Du Jia, who had been unable to interject, also hurriedly raised his hand: "Then, I am an elf clan!"
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β Lori doesn't have to say anything, just a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry, but I'm also from another world. Eva shook her head.
An empire is an existence that makes the kings of nations subordinate and reigns over all nations.
In addition to making his subjects fearful, the emperor did not expect them to respect and be close to the emperor from the bottom of his heart.
Conquest by force, repression, and domination through violence have resulted in the current system of domination of the empire that makes it impossible for local tribes and sub-humans to submit to this system from the bottom of their hearts.
And it was only now that Pinna recognized the consequences of the Empire's actions.
Pinna was taken to the top of Arnous Hill in front of a building with a signboard on the headquarters of the SAR troops.
It was here that they were separated from Itami's group.
Pinna and Poses, guided by a uniformed female self-defense officer, ascend the stairs to the deepest part of the building.
Then, the two of them stayed in the reception room for a moment.
The environment of the reception room can be said to be small enough to disturb the scenery, and there is no decoration to do, but the benches are very comfortable to sit on. The table in the room looks very delicately made, and I think it was the work of some famous craftsman.
Just as I was starting to feel a little bored in such a static room, there was a knock at the door.
Pinna and Poses stood up straight almost as if they were about to jump.
They saw a middle-aged man who was almost middle-aged come in.
He has gray hair mixed with black and white hair, and his hairstyle is also cut into a sleek short hair like Jianjun, but unlike Jianjun, he has a steady and friendly smile on his face, giving people the impression of being soft but with a hard temperament inside.
In terms of Pinna's sensibility, she felt that the green uniform on his body seemed to be a little too underdecorated, except for a row of colorful chapters on his chest.
To be honest, she found it hard to believe that he would be a general of the army, as a high-ranking person in the army, his chest, shoulders, and whole body should be covered with medals, gems, gold embroidery and other decorations, if she really wants to say it, this shabby appearance is not as good as an ordinary soldier.
But they had already come here, and Pinna had already understood that this army had abolished the attributes of vanity and valued substance, so she did not have any doubts about the identity of the other party.
She immediately understood the identity of the man in front of her, who was probably at the top of this otherworldly army or on the same footing.

One update a day!
There's so much going on, there's no time to update! I'm sorry, but I've got to make up the numbers. (To be continued.) )
