Jeno Kashleo sat in the passenger seat of a military SUV and took a sip of a cheap cigarette given to him by his team. After a month of preparation, he finally hitched a ride with the 16th Division and headed for the city of Kauldali, a small town in the northeast of the Free Country.

At this time, the chairman was probably making a public speech denying the sovereignty of free nations. The reason for this dispatch was to suppress the riot.

Jeno tossed the cigarette butt out the window and spat out the last puff of green smoke. The city of Kauldali seemed to be a quiet town, and at the moment he didn't see a single citizen in the street, and the sound of the maneuvers of huge quadruped mechs and the engines of vehicles covered the place.

It's like a ghost town, he thought to himself, why should such a country claim sovereignty? Wouldn't it be nice to survive silently?

Just as Jeno was about to stretch his legs, the AA-03 firepower platform at the head drove into a relatively open detour, and suddenly, a tank broke through the wall of a building.

"Ambush!"

"Boom!"

The tank's main battle gun strikes the AA-03 fire platform at close range, causing sparks to erupt from inside.

"Stand back!" Jano yelled at the driver, "Stand back!"

The driver reacted and quickly reversed, and AA-03 then exploded. The originally quiet city immediately became lively, and many people appeared at the construction site on the left and began to attack the Luo Lian army on the main road.

The road ahead was sealed, and Jeno had to get out of the car to fight, leaning on the military SUV to tentatively return fire and observe the enemy.

The attackers were a group of men dressed in a variety of costumes, armed with old guns that had been obsolete, presumably no more than guerrillas formed by the militia. This level of enemy can't suppress them, but they are also Luo Lian's regular army.

The tank slowly turned the battery and prepared to fire the second shot, but was hit by shells flying in the air on the side of the armor. Two AA-02 battleloaders jumped from the rear and dragged the tail flame of the thrusters down in front of the tank, one of the AA-02s again bombarded the tank with cannons, aiming directly at the cockpit and completely paralyzing it, while the other turned to the construction site, and two revoltor guns wantonly slaughtered the militia that ambushed them.

Yes, everything that stands in their way will bleed and die. The weak will only be eliminated, and the weak countries will eventually be eliminated by the tide of history.

"Get out of the car, stunned youths. Jeno greeted. The recruits assigned to him are young recruits with no actual combat experience, but because of this, the recruits will obey their superiors.

Several other squads followed the AA-02 Battleloader on foot, while Jeno led his squad to the side of the construction site and cleared the remnants of the soldiers inside. Some of the dirty work, such as pulling the trigger on a begging wounded, was done by him, after all, only a veteran like him could kill without blinking.

"Lieutenant Jeno, we've been under heavy attack on the main road, where is your team?"

"We're coming over. Jeno dropped a sentence on the other end of the communicator.

Jeno knew very well that the rabbit cubs of the opponent's guerrillas had carried out the ambush tactics to the end, and that clearing the rabbit hole would have to be burned with fire, and they would not be stupid enough to run on the road as a live target.

Flipping through the window into the house, you can soon see the guerrillas in a hurry, and all it takes is a blow to the armbands to make them understand who is the boss. Jeno's squad only needs to clear all the way through and take care of the squad on the street to defeat the ambushed guerrillas.

"Sir!sir!" Of course, it couldn't be all right, "Bob got shot! Damn! he's covered in blood!"

During one of his ramps into a civilian house, a recruit broke into the kitchen and killed an enemy soldier as he was about to launch an RPG. There was also a man hiding in the kitchen, a recruit named Bob who was blocked by a double-barreled shotgun.

"Damn it, drag him back, quick!" Jano yelled, shooting the militia as they went downstairs to help.

When the wounded were dragged out, the shotgun inside rattled again, and the fragments of the door frame were splashed on the ground. Jeno had no choice but to reward the beast with a fragmentation grenade.

The recruit saved a life, but it was impossible to continue fighting. Jeno told the two team members to stay and watch their companions, and they went on their way.

Fortunately, they had almost swept away, and there wasn't much left for Jeno. After killing the last of the enemy, Jeno stepped out of the avenue and joined his troops. They were outnumbered by half as many as they had at the beginning, and they were quickly routed and scattered, with little training at all.

It's great to take it easily. Although it is a small town on the border, it will definitely be a great boost to the morale of the army if it can win.

On the other hand, the main force also overwhelmingly advanced all the way, and the last of the enemy's resistance was driven into a park.

A string of bullets flew overhead, and Jeno cursed and lowered his head, unloading the empty magazine and loading it with a new one. The enemy, using the machine guns of the crashed helicopter as a last resort, tried to repel them. However, Jeno knew that this was nothing more than a dying struggle.

"Hey, get someone to tear it down!"

"We can't do it, call for support. ”

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming soon. ”

There was a loud bang, it was steel twisting, and the warhead shattered. The enemy stopped firing, and an AA-03 firing platform staggered into the park, smoke still rising from the muzzle of the main battle gun, like a lit cigar.

The crowd cheered, it was their first battle, and it was only natural for them to celebrate happily after such a big victory.

A slight smile appeared on Jeno's face, and he quickly pulled down his face again and became serious. He closed his eyes, drew a cross on his chest, and said something in his mouth.

"Lord, accept their souls. ”

He was not really religious and did not need to ask God for forgiveness. He did this to show respect for the dead, even if they were enemies, who were once soldiers who had fought hard. Since they have fought, then they have died a glorious death, no matter how insignificant, Jeno also wants to express his respect.

The waves of air behind him reminded him that their reinforcements had arrived.

Jeno turned around and walked in the direction of the transporter. The hatch of the transport plane slowly fell, and the soldiers who had come in quickly disembarked. To Jeno's surprise, Admiral Karl also stepped out of the transport plane.

"Well done, gentlemen, we have taken the town, and we are one step closer to final victory. Admiral Karl said.

"Victory in the first battle, sir. ”

"Yes, lieutenant, this is not the last victory, nor is it the last time that the insurrection is suppressed. You're doing a great job, come with me. ”

"Sir, shouldn't I stay on the battlefield?" asked Jeno, who had planned to hold out to the end and take their target himself.

"We still have a lot of battles to fight, you can't afford to be in a place like this, and prepare for more victories, Lieutenant. ”
