"Stay in position! Don't let them surround us!"
Amidst a fierce fight in which 13 knight troops from a kingdom fight hundreds of men who appear to be from criminal organizations, a woman with silver hair appears to be commanding her besieged army.
"Aragh!"
One of the knights was hit by an attack from the enemy, the knight was instantly seriously injured causing their formation to start breaking apart.
"Haha! Look you! You're gonna die here!"
Laughter of a leader of the enemies who saw one by one the knights were seriously injured and some died from losing a lot of blood after being hit by slashes on his body.
"Grp... How dare you!"
The silver-haired woman snapped with fury very clearly visible on her face
He with his strength returned to attack the enemy who seemed to be relentless.
'grr...'
"The word of light!"
With the power of coating his sword, he swung the sword towards the enemies who attacked them, instantly the 10 enemies were torn apart by his attack.
"Princess Tiara!"
When one of the knights shouted towards her, the woman named Tiara immediately turned around quickly, but her reaction was less rapid as one of the enemies seemed ready to swing a sword towards her.
"See you, Princess"
Unable to make any more noise from seeing the sword swing towards him faster than his body's reaction, Tiara could only prepare himself for the attack that would injure him
But the pain did not come at all, it was precisely the sound of thunder that was very loud echoing around which everyone who was silent froze.
"Huh?"
Tiara looked at the enemy who was about to slash his sword, now lying on the ground motionless and also not breathing with a small hole appearing to form in his head.
"From you all! Ahaha!"
Then a new voice came making all the attention go to the newcomer.
In the distance a man held some kind of iron rod then one person he knew very well who it was.
"Queen of the Devil, Rosella!?"
The Knights looked surprised when they saw Rosella walking up to them with a dark aura enveloping her body.
"Basic insects!"
The enemy who was upset by the presence of the newcomer, immediately invaded Rosella, but Tiara who knew very well that the demon queen Rosella was an enemy of mankind that was very dangerous, he could only be silent, he could only be silent, both of her hands trembled in fear when she saw Rosella's figure.
Until something she didn't think happened, though,
"Low ground"
Rosella with an icy tone began to attack the enemies who had suddenly made her even more speechless.
'Why he...'
Rosella attacks the enemy who was besieging them blindly, the fire attack that coats her sword quickly killing the enemies who had surrounded them mercilessly.
As Tiara was immersed in her own thoughts, a man in a strange suit seemed to approach them, wearing a green uniform on a strange cloth and wearing a helmet, the man seemed to walk calmly observing them.
"Who are you!"
With an intimidating intonation, Tiara instantly looked out for the strange man, the man seemed to show no hostile attitude towards her, she said, The man actually raised both hands up indicating that he did not intend to attack or act anything on them.
"I'm sorry if I interfered in this, but you were seen being attacked by them. Can you forgive our leniency?"
Said the man in a very stiff language, Rosella, the demon queen who finished with the bandits who had surrounded us, started walking towards the strange man.
"Heh.... It's easy"
Rosella said with a proud tone to the man, but the man who looked like an ordinary human, just sighed as if he did not feel afraid at all to the Demon Queen Rosella.
"Uhm.... Who're you! Why can you be with 'her' "
Tiara said as she looked at Rosella, but the man just shrugged his shoulders as if he had given up on the topic
"It's hard to explain, but she's somehow coming with me"
"Ah!? hey, what does that mean? Do you think that I'm troublesome!?"
Unable to accept the answer from the strange man, Rosella began to look angry, Tiara saw Rosella's angry expression begin to creep in fear, but as she turned to the man, Tiara saw Rosella's expression of anger began to creep in fear, he did not believe what he saw.
'Eh!? He's not afraid at all!?'
...***************...
Right now, somehow I, Corporal Jonathan, could be in a strange situation.
When we were going back to Headquarters to report on my assignment and follow orders to get Rosella to meet with Lieutenant General Norman, we were somehow able to face off against a group of Knights who seemed to be surrounded by hundreds of humans who looked like a collection of street criminals.
At first I thought they would be fine, but that changed when I saw that four of the 13 knights were seriously injured and one of them appeared to die from blood loss due to a deep cut
Seeing that dangerous situation, I had no choice but to attack them.
'Man, I'd bet if the report on the count of the munitions later at headquarters, I'll be interrogated all-out with the head of the inventory'
LACE Report: Liquid, Amunition, Casualties, and Equipment Report, is a magic paper where if you make a slight error in the report, your salary will not only be cut, but instead you will be thrown into a supporting role at the headquarters without the opportunity to return to the front line and rise above the NCO/Non-commissioned Officer/Sarge Rank & Corporal.
Staff Sergeant/SSgt, at the base once told me when I was first in the marines, if you want to move up the ranks then use your munitions effectively and always remember the reason why you fired your weapon, that way you have a plus to move up to the Commissioned Officer position.
"It's gonna be troublesome"
I sighed then looked at those who looked frozen looking at Rosella's presence here.
"Uhm, I'm sorry did we act so presumptuously by intervening?"
I asked with a very stiff language.
"No, I'm very grateful to have saved us, sir"
The girl with silver-colored hair wearing a harness lining the typical noble outfit seemed to greet me very formally.
"I, Tiara Vunois Claudisse, the third Princess of the Vunois Kingdom, greatly appreciate your efforts to help us, as well as your......"
"... Demon Queen Rosella "
I don't know why, but that smile makes me a little uncomfortable.
The Knights under Tiara appear to have begun to take care of their wounded troops and removed the body of the enemy that Rosella had single-handedly destroyed.
'When I told him, but why did he...'
I could only groan inside my head when I saw all the conditions of the enemy's body that Rosella had taken out.
"He.he... Do you understand how strong I am now, right?"
Rosella with a proud smile seemed very happy with what she did, I who did not understand the meaning of her words could only raise my eyebrows.
"What is that is something that I must take seriously, Miss Rosella"
I went back to the way I spoke to her who got a bad look from Rosella.
"Hump! Why are you calling me that again!"
The protest, but I who do not want to take a headache will comment it only replied in a half-hearted tone.
"Because you're royalty"
"grr... You're so stubborn"
I shrugged my shoulders at the rhetoric from him.
As the two of us returned in silence, Rosella who was staring at the Princess named Tiara Vunois Claudisse from the Vunois kingdom made me a little interested in what Rosella thought about saving the man she hated.
Just before I could say anything, Rosella interrupted me.
"They are the Kingdoms that have always been the first to attack the demon kingdom under the pretext of wanting to save mankind, because their kingdom is next to ours, they felt our presence was a threat"
'So that's the situation'
The process of removing the bodies of the bandits was quite long than I thought, since this world has magic, I originally thought that they would burn the bodies with magic, she said, but they didn't seem to think about it until then.
"Master, um. can I tell you what your name is, our savior?"
Tiara who had finished with the Knights, she began to stand in front of me with the other knights beginning to kneel typical of Knights in the storybooks I had read.
"Please don't kneel in front of me, my name is Jonathan Crish, I happened to pass by in this area"
"Then, then.."
The princess named Tiara Vunois Claudisse then stood up and looked at me with a smile that once again made me a little uneasy.
"... How about you come to our kingdom, I'm very happy if you accept my invitation"
Seeing her invite me, I began to think negatively, I quickly rejected her offer but the Princess named Tiara still insisted on taking me to her kingdom.
"Sorry Miss Tiara, I have another obligation, I am very honored if you are willing to let me continue my journey, another time maybe I will visit you"
"Oh, so, I have great respect for your decision, then, as a form of thanks, please take this"
Tiara then handed over a sort of paper sealed by a special kind of royal rope.
"With this, you can visit our kingdom, I look forward to our meeting at a later time, as well as you.... Rosella de Voir Junois's"
'Oh, I think I made the right decision'
I thought when I saw the interaction of the two who were very clearly hostile to each other.
...----------------...
Demon Kingdom, Slum outskirts.
"Slow down the base Cadets!"
The Corporals were again snapped by the Sergeant when they began to build a frontline base in the administrative specialties of Rosella de Voir Junois.
The frontline base or FOB/Forward Operating Base was built since the agreement of bilateral ties between the Devil Race and [New United States] was formed, the number of personnel sent by Delta Headquarters began to increase.
There are at least 357 Marines consisting of 31st Combat Engineer, 2nd Marine Mechanized Brigade, and 44th Field Artillery Regiment.
Due to restrictions on large-scale troop deployments in the region, Marines who are here must be extra vigilant in the event of a potential conflict.
In the midst of busyness, some children of the half-human race seemed to play with pleasure and cheer as if their fears yesterday had never existed at all.
Sophia who served as an administrative substitute in this castle had to go the extra mile because the departure of the highest leadership of this region made it a little more stressful than before.
"Argh! My head is about to explode!"
Sophia screamed when she saw the pile of documents coming to her desk.
"Well, you have to work harder than ever, I can't blame you for this"
"Gerr.... You're this"
First Sergeant Alfred, Chairman of Delta Headquarters, FOB Charlie Headquarters, he seemed to smile at Sophia who still had a lot of work to do.
"Are you having trouble with this job?"
Alfred's question though did not sound insulting, but in Sophia's ear, he felt insulted by it
"And whose fault is it that makes my work so much more!?"
His impact while standing from his desk chair, his frustrated gaze slightly made Alfred sympathetic to him.
"I can't say it wasn't our fault, Miss Sophia"
"But, one side of it is also your mistake of deliberately stalling your work"
"Urghs!"
Sophia made no sound of his words, Alfred then took one of the documents on the table. It is true that the cause of the work dealing with documents mostly comes from them, such as licensing over the construction of the frontline headquarters, he said, licensing in domestic affairs and many other matters covering diplomatic affairs between two civilizations
'I don't think he's smart enough for this kind of business'
He thought as he looked at some of the licenses rejected by Sophia. Some permits such as asking to field troops at the headquarters in large numbers as well as some other things that are very clear have hidden intentions behind those words.
"You people, don't take me for granted"
Sophia began to look at him with a suspicious look, "If you do a lot to help our kingdom, but we will not easily bend our knees before you"
Alfred smiled seeing Sophia's response.
"Freedom of tax on trade for us is nothing more than theft, so I hope you can consider that again"
"No"
"Ho.. interesting"
...----------------...
In the room of Lieutenant General Norman, a man appeared to have just entered the room dressed in the formal military attire of the army.
The Lieutenant General instantly knew what this man wanted from the room especially looking at his gaze which seemed to demand an answer to something.
"Clean One, Andrew, what does the U. S. Army want here?"
First Lieutenant Andrew, U. S. Army, Press & Media Center.
"Commander General, I came here on Pentagon instructions regarding your operation in the Rosella administrative specialties, The Pentagon is demanding immediate structural information on the kingdom and potential cooperation on agenda 417"
"Then, does that mean I have to hand over that information right now?"
"Not really, the Pentagon does not provide details on when you should submit the report, but it's good that you should immediately make a detailed report if you want funding for this operation to continue"
"Well, I understand the situation, I'll give you a report right away at the Pentagon"
"Thank you for your understanding, Lieutenant General"
The officer then walked out of the Lieutenant General's room letting him drown in his own thoughts.
'I was expecting this to happen'
With two aircraft carrier groups absent in the area they were supposed to be in, the Press began to demand answers to the original whereabouts of the carrier.
If the carrier group returned to their world, then this base would be extremely vulnerable to prolonged attacks from all sides, not to mention the existence of monster-like creatures roaming freely in this world, making the potential danger of this headquarters will be very vulnerable.
As he was drifting in thought, someone started to enter his room, this time the incoming person came from the air reconization team leader.
"The lieutenant general, Jonathan's report, will be scheduled to arrive at the base at 16:43, along with Rosella"
"Good, is there anything else Jonathan reported?"
The officer nodded while giving a report of the team's results.
"Jonathan also reported that he was forced to use bullets to rescue convoy squads involved in the conflict around the Bravo sector. Jonathan also added that the base he used his bullets, because the convoy that was ambushed was one of the nobles of the Vunois kingdom"
"Oh? So what's the status?"
"According to Jonathan, he was granted access to the kingdom upon the permission of the noble Princess Tiara Vunois Claudisse"
"Very good, I'll wait for the full report if he gets here, all right, disperse"
"Yes sir"
Lieutenant General this time is interested in what Jonathan is doing, if this goes well, then they will have a pretty wide bond in this new world as well
Looking for answers on why they were able to bring people from their world into this world, how many people have been brought here and how long this case has been going on.
