Chapter 205 - Aggression And Death

"Sir, we have loss 400 Black Armored Knight as of the moment and it still increasing. We have 100 wounded and we still have 700 Black Armored Knight that are still fighting on the ground" one lieutenant walked up to the commander who was looking at the monitor as the air support was heading towards to the location of Jelkala City.

"We just need to hold on until then. Or else we are going to be in a big problem" the Commander put his hands on his waist and is wishing that the Lion Pride soldiers retreat.

[Eagle bird SQUAD]

"Alright our plan for this is to take out any enemies on the Black Armored Knights Forward Operating Base. Han Zian and Fang Shirong will lead the Red Blood Armored knights. While I and Qi Meili will be the Squad leaders of the candidates. I expect a lot from you two because I know that you guys learned a lot from me in leading into missions."

When he said those last words, he looked at Han Zian and Fang Shirong that were beside a Red blood Armored Knight.

Few minutes have passed, and the pilot radioed. [Attention we are ETA 2 minutes above Jelkala prepare] and the Red light in the whole cargo turns on and the ramp opened.

They feel the breeze of the cold air that was coming inside. The new candidates felt a novel experience, and this is their first time dropping from the air.

"Remember to check. Everyone line up! And check on your buddies. Check their oxygen and gear tap them when they are good." Jin tapped his comms because of the air their voice were not that heard.

With that, all of them started checking their buddies, and all raised their thumbs to signal a "Okay to jump" after that the green light pops out. And the first one to jump was Han Zian and Fang Shirong. "HOLY!" Fang Shirong shouted, as they dropped fast. After that, the Red Blood Armored Knights followed.

After that, Jin raised his hand and ordered to move. And then they all run towards the ramp and jump out of the Eagle Bird.

[On the ground]

"Hey, do you see that? Something over the clouds?" one Lion pride soldier commented as he looked at the clouds.

"What is that? Do you see it?" one of the Lion Pride soldiers looked up and saw multiple entities that is dropping from the sky.

"2nd man, check with headquarters if we have such forces that are dropping from the sky or else we are going to be dead once those above dropped on the ground." The Lion Pride officer ordered as the sun was slowly setting.

"Yes, sir. I will advise the headquarters about the sightings." 2nd man replies as he pulled out the communication box that was in his bag.

"Take cover! Hold them-" an arrow struck the Black Armored Knight from the head and the armored knight above on the ground. "Medic! I need a medic here. I got a man down!" one Black Armored Knight pulled the trigger of his rifle and the bullets fired from the barrel.

He easily killed 1 lion pride soldier that was running towards his position. But suddenly a hooded figure with daggers appeared in front of him and stabs in intensely. He pulled the trigger of his rifle, but it was firing into the air.

He screams in pain as the daggers could pierce through his armor. But with a last try, he pulled out a grenade and in last effort to kill the assassin he pushed the button, exploding the both of them. The Assassin flew back a few meters, burned inside out.

"What the hell, these amateurs? I thought we trained enough forces to combat such expertise, such as players and users, to not underestimate this kind of force. Look at this filth dead. We are losing forces. We need to train them to move."

"What are we training them for? They are not holding out that proficiently, they only have one job, and that is to eliminate the enemy. I thought we trained these people to combat players and users. Then why are they doing their job like? They are dying like ants being killed by a human. And to add to that, we are having too many casualties!"

Detachment, A Platoon leader exclaimed as he sigh in disappointment.

"Advance the 1st squad of Users and the 2nd Squad of Players. We are pushing them in." The Detachment A platoon leader ordered. While beside him was his executive platoon leader, "I will relay the orders to the squad leaders, sir." the executive turns around and walks away.

"Aright, the Platoon leader's orders are precise. Attack and decimate the enemy at all costs. We are in a hurry here because there have been sightings of enemy forces coming from above. And we don't enjoy getting cornered and surrounded. So the first to move and take on the vanguard will be the 1st squad of Users second to attack and support the 2nd squad of players. Move!" the executive crossed his arms as Players and users reply. "Yes, sir!" and they all rushed out from the building as they ran up from the underground.

The first on to land on the ground from above was Fang Shirong, followed by Han Zian and the rest of the Red blood Armored knights. "Alright first and 2nd Fire team, you will be under Han Zian the 3rd and 4th fire team will be under me. Questions?" and the Red blood Armored knights replies. "None, Sir" and they all moved towards the defenses of the black Armored Knights.

[Inside the office of the Black Armored Knight commander]

"Sir, we are sure that the ones who were dropping from the skies are from the SQUAD of Ru Jin. I think the mayor has re hired them because of their expertise in this battle, Sir." The Lieutenant reported as the commander was skeptical at first.

"Do we really need them here?" he questioned the Lieutenant before saying, "What is the ETA of the Strike force?" the communication officer responded. "The Strike helicopters are 20 minutes away, the Macktoll-4 Jet Fighters are 2 minutes away and the bombers is 15 minutes away sir"

"Well, we just need them for now" the commander looked at the ground and clenched his fist.

[On the ground]

Han Zian raised his book and whispered, "To the Divine light may shine upon thee the wrath of the HOLY creator Smite!" and the clouds opened even thought sun is setting through the horizon from afar. After the clouds opened, trumpets blown echoed throughout the land. Finally death ray from above smite the entire line of Lion Pride soldiers, officers and the deployed 1st Squad users.

They got burned to death as the smite of Han Zian moves towards them. The smite only lasted for 30 seconds before it vanished, the whole 1st and 2nd line of defense that was taken by the Black Lion Pride guild. Was now cleared.

"We are now going to move forward," Fang Shirong ordered, as some of the Black Armored Knights also listened to his command. As their only enemy is now at the 3rd line of defense that was taken from the Black Armored Knights.

The Red blood armored knights pulled their trigger to fire their rifles and support machine guns. But still they face Lion Pride soldiers that is also trained for battle. They fight hard and the intensity of the exchange of fire was overwhelming. From above, it looks like it was a representation of a no-man's-land.

Jin landed where Han Zian and Fang Shirong landed earlier. When they landed on the ground, Jin ordered Cai Dinxiang and Li Xiaosheng to form a defensive line behind the advancing Red Blood Armored knights. Fang Shirong turns around and there he sees Jin walking towards them, and it amazed him that Jin was not even afraid of the flying bullet in their direction.

"So what is the status here, Fang Shirong?" Jin asked as he raised his FXR-Raven and aimed at the firing Lion Pride Soldier on the other side. Jin pulled the trigger, and a compacted fire of bullets fired from the barrel and travelled fast enough to kill 4 Lion Pride Soldiers in a single fire.

"Sir, as of now we have cleared the 1st and 2nd defense lines that were taken over by the Lion Pride Soldiers. And we are still going to push but when-" and an explosion erupted near them, and Jin notice it was a beam of light. But not like the beam of light that his FXR-Raven has. "I see we have an enemy a long range-"

Jin looked up and there he saw a single arrow climbing to its max height. "Take cover!" Jin ordered, and the arrow incline towards their location and soon increased its speed and when it was about to reach their location, it dispersed in numbers. And falls onto them there were some Black Armored Knights that were struck by the arrow on the head on the shoulder and the others at the chest.

"Han Zian, take care of the wounded. Fang Shirong, assist the candidates to flank on the right. I am going straight with Qi Meili with the rest of the Red blood Armored Knights." Jin ordered, "But Sir! That kind of strategy, isn't it suicide?" Fang Shirong questions.

"Negative, Fang Shirong, it won't be because there are a lot of cover and before we do, I will let Qi Meili fire an Arrow volley for cover. And then use the 5 support Armored Knight to use a suppressive fire on the enemy." Jin replied, and Fang Shirong nodded in assurance of the strategy.

After that, Fang Shirong and Han Zian moved to their respected ordered positioned. But the intense fire of the Lion pride soldiers was still consistent. Jin called for Qi Meili, "I want you to use the Volley Arrows and then Rapid Arrow Fire"

Qi Meili nodded, and she sigh after then pulling out an arrow. Jin ordered the 5 support gunner of the knights and ordered them a suppressive fire. And the Support Red Blood Armored Knights pulled the trigger, firing 700 rounds per minute.

Qi Meili then aimed at the trajectory of the location of the Lion Pride Soldier, who were taking cover in the older cover trench of the Black Armored knights.. She whispered "Volley Arrow" and from that her arrow gave out a glow of orange and she then let loose of the arrow.
