Little by little I could understand the situation, Louis was our leader because everyone obeyed his words, Damian was the sniper who was caught by the enemy and was lucky to escape safely, then Alex, Adam, and I were the vanguard who had to conquer the enemy. Now that we were running in a large field with bushes and trees on several sides, it was very easy for us to camouflage. The sound of explosions could still be heard, but the frequency was far away. Still, I couldn't get over the fact that I'd been thrown a grenade, and Louis had warned me that there were mines planted around here. I always complained when I was at Leaflim, about how my days were so boring because I was just working in a stall. However, I was missing that tedious activity again as I tiptoed around to avoid possible mines now! "The terrain ahead is pretty safe, not too many mines like before," Alex said as he got ready to cock his pistol. We were now ducking in these large bushes. "Why is it so quiet? Where ar
This is such an extreme start! As soon as I came here I was knocked unconscious after being thrown by a grenade, realized that there are no supernatural powers in this world, and then witnessed a general kill his own soldiers! That's amazing! What the hell is this? General Collins was still loyal to his position even though several other generals had their guns pointed at him. He had an amiable face that a layman wouldn't believe if told what happened earlier, his blue eyes scanning each of our faces so I deliberately pretended not to see him. "You could be charged with murder!" hissed one of the generals. General Collins casually searched the soldier's corpse instead, putting everyone watching on alert. Soon he showed a rectangular object with alphabetized buttons. Ah, it reminds me of the old-school telephone with an antenna in my world. I didn't experience it because I was born in the modern era, but my mother used to have something similar. "This guy is an enemy spy, infiltrat
"Our target now is to take out the Wisqi army's guard post and seize their transmission device. We can use it to broadcast news to the others, since the hackers are already prepared and have studied the device," General Collins said when we had gathered in the field. I've never seen a hacker, but apparently it's a real profession. If I could choose, I would also like to be reborn as a person who is good at hacking into a system, no need to go directly to the front lines. I then took a deep breath because of my wandering thoughts, maybe this was the effect of the bad food and the pressure on the battlefield that was really pressing on me, even though I hadn't set foot there yet. "You will go in groups of four each. Paralyze, destroy, with whatever it takes, even if necessary with your own blood and tears. We can't let Redsee fall into the hands of those unscrupulous people. We must fight back!" The oration was met with shouts from the soldiers. From their faces, I could tell they w
I was amazed at myself, really! Presumably the experience in the previous two worlds had made me adept at dealing with situations, ah, or was this the power I had generated in this world? In essence, I was able to move quickly to avoid the bullets that were now making holes in the ground. I rounded my eyes, how could this be possible? No human can dodge gunfire! Adam, who I reflexively pulled until we both fell, showed an expression of disbelief as he glanced at me. However, I chalked it up to sheer luck that would never happen again. Therefore, I quickly got up and returned the gunfire while walking backwards slowly. There were only three of us here, Louis who was originally hiding near me was nowhere to be seen. Likewise, Alex is nowhere to be seen. That's good, that way we can at least minimize casualties from our side. The enemy man then laughed as he scratched his long hair and reloaded. "Wow, are you sure you're just an ordinary soldier? The last time anyone could avoid that
"Louis, your hand!" I said, pointing at the blue-eyed man. "Oh, it's just a small cut. I can still move, we better find a safe place first," he replied. Without lingering, I quickly approached Adam who was lying down. His breathing went up and down heavily, but he was able to open his eyes with a groan of pain. I quickly carried him on my back while picking up his rifle that had been thrown quite far away. At the same time, Louis came over and put his arm around Alex who was staggering. Blood was flowing from his forehead and he grinned as soon as he saw me. "Thank God you're alive," he said in a weak voice. Louis then directed us to a house with a solid foundation and enough cover to hide in. "Your head is bleeding, Alex," I said as I lowered and laid down Adam who was still groaning. Alex then touched his forehead while chuckling softly like a psycho. "I just got hit by some debris, luckily it was a brick," he replied. Then they very independently treated each other's wounds
It felt surreal, as Adam immediately opened fire on the enemy man with his rifle. I froze as I watched, the reddish liquid soaking my cheeks and military uniform. As badly as I had fought in Swinggelir, there had never been enemy blood splashed on me. I realized that if this was the first world I had to visit, I'd probably go insane from witnessing this kind of thing all the time. Fortunately, Solace was kind enough to send me to the two worlds first. I looked at Adam, the man who had such a gentle and sweet face could also have such a fierce expression as he swept the blood splatters on his face in disgust. "You're the one who died, damn it!" he cursed at the corpse of the enemy man, which was even more disfigured. My stomach churned at the sight of him right before my eyes. Adam pulled me to my feet. "Are you okay?" he asked. I cleared my throat, only to realize that I was still holding the trigger in my hand, which I quickly put away. If Adam hadn't saved me, would I have refl
I don't know if it's the effects of being tired from the mission or what, but my eyelids feel very heavy to open. I rubbed my face to shake off the sleepiness and realized that it was now a cloudy morning, accompanied by the paramedics going back and forth and the soldiers. I even only vaguely remember entering the tent with my three comrades and suddenly falling asleep due to overwhelming sleepiness. I remember being very suspicious because everything was going so smoothly, but it seemed like my worries were in vain because nothing happened to the headquarters. There were also many soldiers living in the tents and I guessed that all those assigned had returned safely when I saw the paramedic's expression, which was not very sad. I caught the figure of General Collins who was having a serious conversation with another general in the pavilion. I was curious about his role in my military career because he seemed to know me. However, there was something else that was more important, w
Apparently, the ceasefire was real. After Commander Gilbert made the announcement, we were immediately sent home and warned not to do anything that could spark another war during the peaceful period. Although I could see suspicious expressions on the soldiers' faces, none of them protested against this stipulation. Who would refuse a ceasefire? "Periodic notifications will be made, so stand by!" exclaimed General Collins. "Ready!" replied our soldiers. Afterward, the Wisqi left the headquarters area after taking a photo with the two important people from our side, perhaps as a token. They left without saying a word or putting on a friendly face, I could almost feel that dismissive look still plastered there. However, never mind. It's good news that I can avoid the responsibility of being Louis' replacement squad leader. I won't be going to the battlefield for that long either! I've dealt with danger and death too many times, I'd like to live a life of leisure for once. "Report w
