Connected World's

Operation Nighthawk's

Debrief Room, Delta Headquarters Command Center.

"Gentlemen, thank you for coming"

Lieutenant General Norman, the commander-in-chief of the Second Battalion Marine Headquarters, Second Marine Division, as he entered the room, officers appeared to be waiting for him

"The mission this time is quite beyond our predictions, as we know it, the two girls are residents of Japan and from their information there are at least 3 more like those who were brought by force into this world and ordered to fight foreign troops they refer to as the demon lord's army, but from the reports of our troops currently in the demon castle, they don't see any military movement into the human territory"

The tap screen in the room began showing photos of three people who confirmed their identities as Japanese residents.

"Three of them are still in the human kingdom of this world, until now we do not know what the purpose of the world's people calling and telling children to go to war, he said, under the terms of Geneva, this is very clearly against the law"

"Gentlemen"

Letjend looked at the officers with a sharp look.

"I want you to infiltrate the territory of the human kingdom and establish contact with all three of them, if possible I want you to bring them back here, avoid unnecessary armed contact, your mission is to take them voluntarily, not force them, do you understand?"

The four officers who will be assigned are the special forces of Marine Special Operation Forces Lieutenant Jason, Air Force Special Operation Joint Terminal Attack Controller Samuel, and two guys from the Ranger Jackson and Lawrence Special Detachment.

"You will be dispatched using the C-2 and plunged 12 kilometers from the government area, there you will be scheduled to meet with SEAL Team 6 who is watching around, is there anything else you want to know?"

Seeing no questions asked, Debrief ended the operation with the general giving instructions to them to immediately prepare to head to the USS Gerald R Ford using a helicopter.

As many as the four special forces, the General gazed at the profiles of the two girls confirmed by the Japanese police as missing citizens for more than two years.

'How can time in this world and our world be different? Does this have anything to do with this alien Solar system?'

Letjend thought when confirming once again the five humans who had the status of missing by the Japanese police.

'I don't know what and why they can summon humans into this world, but the fact that they use teenagers as soldiers, that's very unforgivable'

On the tarmac of the USS Gerald R Ford, just as the helicopter landed, four soldiers were dropped off, they then made their way to the E-2C Hawkeye aircraft waiting for them to be catapulted to number 3 on board the aircraft carrier.

Time that still shows at 03 am, the darkness of the night was not a barrier to operations on board the aircraft carrier.

...****************...

("Go full throttle, sir")

Instructions of the steam catapult operator who saw all the preparations had been completed, the aircraft quickly drove at a speed of 120 km/h in a matter of seconds.

The aircraft then flew away from the aircraft carrier towards the intended location.

at Headquarters, Letjend began staring at the officer in charge of communications.

"First-class officer Sanders, call Lieutenant Fujiwara, tell them about the mission change"

"Ready to Do, Sir"

****************

("This is Command to Alpha Company, are you listening to me?")

"Here Fujiwara, to Command, I listen to you"

In the middle of the night, the squads who stayed outside in the vast expanse of grass immediately woke up when communication from the headquarters was connected.

("Change the plan, you should head south, about 127 kilometers from your position, you're assigned to meet with special forces, that's all. Out")

"Understood"

Joseph and Jonathan who happened to hear that, exchanged glances with Fujiwara as if they were asking him why there had been a sudden change of plans.

"Unfortunately Headquarters didn't explain anything to me"

"Oh, do you want to move again, man?"

Rosella who was out of nowhere could stand in the middle of Joseph and Jonathan without them noticing, immediately gasped in shock.

"Uah! Don't be surprised, Rosella!"

Ketus Jonathan to Rosella who by the way was a very polite act to the nobility.

"Huh.ha.ha... Your reaction is too much" Rosella laughed at Jonathan's laugh.

"Miss Rosella, we're going to this world's people, are you sure you want to come with us?"

Fujiwara immediately cut the two off by saying where they were going.

"Hoo... The human kingdom you mean, interesting, I'm coming"

"so"

Fujiwara, who did not want to extend the conversation, immediately ordered everyone to get into their respective vehicles.

In the darkness of the early evening, Fujiwara was still sitting on the front bench, Jonathan knowing that he had no authority to ask what Fujiwara was thinking, but seeing him who always put on a worried face made him a little uncomfortable, and he was sure that was also what the team thought to Fujiwara.

"I'm sorry if I'm being unethical Lieutenant, but may I speak plainly"

Rosella, sitting in the back, falls asleep and Jonathan has a chance to talk to Fujiwara without a care in Rosella's interruption.

"Please"

With permission from Fujiwara, Jonathan says what he thinks with his eyes still fixed on the road in front of him.

"I know if you're worried about this assignment, but can you be a little more relaxed? If you continue to feel anxious how we may not be concerned with our situation"

With very formal language, Jonathan tried not to be disrespectful to his superiors, and the response from Fujiwara was exactly what he thought.

"Then what should I do? After going through that, are you hoping that I don't care about what happened yesterday?"

Fujiwara's face looked blank as if he was still in shock at the situation

That's right, when the monster tried to attack them, who took command without the permission of the squad leader or NCO on duty, it was Jonathan who arbitrarily ordered the team to react quickly.

Normally Jonathan must accept the consequences of why he took command without the permission of the Sergeant who served as the second chain of command in the squad.

"No, I didn't mean that, Lieutenant"

"So?"

"Well, I'm just saying, if you keep doing that, how can we possibly calm down? You're our leader, you better remember Lieutenant, we're Marines, we're trained to think it's all useless shit"

His words in a very clear tone of tone would definitely expose him to military punishment if Lieutenant Fujiwara was upset by his attitude.

Punishments such as burning human feces or cleaning up an entire vehicle in the Mechanized Infantry Regiment squad are

two of the most infuriating sentences in the Marines.

Seeing Jonathan's expression that looked as if he was starting to fear that he would be punished because his tone made a thin smile form on Fujiwara's face.

"Fufu.... Looks like you need me to punish you later at the base, Corporal"

"Eh!? T. .wait for the lieutenant, forgive my attitude"

Panicked by Fujiwara's change of speech, Jonathan begins to talk with a stutter, the only thing he tries to avoid during his two Marines is getting stamped NJP-ed on the biodata list.

Once there's that record, then compensation when you leave the military could be halved every month.

But without Jonathan knowing, Fujiwara's facial expression was much more relaxed than the one that had a grim expression.

As the team moved back towards the meeting point destination, in space at an altitude of 25 thousand feet above sea level, the E-2D aircraft was almost near the point of descent.

With the time showing at 0340 am, the rear cargo door of the reconnaissance aircraft was opened featuring 4 humans in military tactical uniforms, ready to plunge whenever the pilot gave a warning.

("Hopefully succeed, Boys")

The four soldiers then jumped out of the plane, in the dark of the night, they plunged into the quiet sky.

("See your altitude")

Said the Squad leader when he saw the height pointer that was on his arm, each of them started to prepare to pull the parachute when the height reached 5 thousand feet.

Jumping altitude above a height of 25 thousand feet, categorized as the most dangerous but different for those trained in this field.

("Open the parachute!")

The four humans then drifted slowly to the land beneath them. It didn't take them long to land and prepare as if nothing had happened there.

("Comms check")

The Squad Leader radioed the other three, the three of them replied with a nod, they began to walk through the forest where, along the eyes, only the swamps were present.

("This is Recon 4/1, to Raidsoc, do you guys confirm?")

Just as they stopped at the edge of the swamp, the Squad leader began to communicate with the SEAL forces that were around this area.

("I repeat, this is Recon 4/1, Raidsoc, do you guys confirm?")

There was no answer at all, until radio communication began to connect after a moment of silence.

("Here Raidsoc, we're in position, safe area, please continue")

Their meeting point was about 200 meters away from their current position, as the team began to walk again, the bushes seemed to move by themselves, before long the bush showed who he really was

"You guys are pretty fast"

Praise one of the Seal Team members disguised as a bush, the other five also came out of their hiding place and started to gather with the team.

"I'm Jad, the leader of Seal Team 6"

The man named Jad shook the hand of the squad leader who had just arrived here.

"Jason, that's my name, MARSOC, 314 Specialist"

He then pointed to the other three, "That's Samuel, our JTAC, the other two, the boy from Ranger Jackson and Lawrence"

"Ok, then, come with us Jason, we've got a job to do"

Jad then led the combined team towards the actual location.

In the middle of the dark night, a team of 10 men who came from the SEAL Team and the joint special forces of MARSOC, JTAC Air Force, and Ranger, were, then came to the edge of the wall in a kingdom.

"look at the sound of your footsteps"

Remember Jad to the troops when they will climb this wall. The wall that had a height of about 200 meters was a bit of a barrier for them, yet they easily climbed the wall.

("Contact, 12 o'clock, don't fire")

Shortly after Jad gave a warning, the team began to stop from climbing letting the guard walk past them.

With very dark conditions plus lighting around is just a torch making a special advantage for teams who are sneaking in.

("Avonance around")

Just as they reached the top of the wall, they quickly lowered the rope and descended using the rope, moving quickly but unhurriedly making their every move barely audible to anyone.

"The target's house is in front of us"

They moved trying not to be seen by anyone, the darkness of the night almost disappeared as the moon began to shine on the streets. The team quickly got into the alley where they were watching from outside this house.

("Visuals?")

Say one of the Navy Seals while watching the windows, looking into the room of this empty house.

("Faith")

They entered through the window with no sound at all, shortly after they went inside. The team began to gather in the main room where they waited for their next instructions.

"Alright, since you're all here let me explain the situation"

Jad begins to take something out of his pants pocket, all of his attention drawn to the table where Jad shows them what he finds.

"As you already know, our mission is to secure the three people who are from Earth, the three of them should be in this city, they are nothing more than ordinary teenagers, so limit the use of violence as much as possible. I'm in charge of XO on this mission, do you understand?"

they nodded without any protest at all.

"Good, now there's something else I want to tell you all"

The sharp gaze with the dim light in this room made all of them even more serious.

"The intel I got, this kingdom will be attacked in less than 7 hours from now. I know what you think, wars between kingdoms should not be our problem, and you are very right, our main mission is to put the salvation of the three men of the earth first, but looking at this situation, I doubt that they will cooperate with us. So I ask you to keep an eye out and do nothing unless the situation forces us to disassemble"

"Are you all clear?"

Another guess is the answer he got, the team started preparing themselves, this house is their main point to operate, he said, for now these special forces can only wait here until their targets are seen.

Although it is very unreasonable why they should wait, but because this is an order from the team leader, the team can only follow what he ordered.

****************

"Tokiwaki, we need to find Suzu and Riria!"

In a room where the meeting place of a team of Brave Heroes sent by a kingdom from another world, Kirisu Tokiwaki, Amane Rin, Shizuku Houki, are three of the five heroes who came from another world.

At the moment they seem to be in a state of unease when their two friends who until now have not returned from their mission.

"Rin, have you heard any reports about Suzu and Riria?"

Amane Rin, he replied by shaking his head at Tokiwaki who was beginning to fret.

"Well, tomorrow morning we're going to the union, we're asking the mercenaries for help in finding them both"

Tokiwaki's proposal was answered by nodding the two, they could not stop the fear about the posibility of what happened to their two friends.

As the early morning feel began to cool, Tokiwaki stared at the window where the moonlight seemed to shine on this city.

'It's been almost two years in this world'

He thought that when he saw two colleagues who began to look depressed, he could not pretend not to know what they felt about the reality in this world. At first the five of them thought the world would be filled with fun adventures, but it did not take long for reality to come to them.

The reality is that in this world you can die if you are careless, die if you are not vigilant, and die if you are too vigilant.

'I can what.....'

He growled in silence when he saw the sword that the kingdom had given him when he had been trained for 3 consecutive weeks by the royal knights.

But those who do not know what will happen will drop them deep into the deepest nightmares.

That morning, at exactly 0450 local time, someone hit the bell as hard as possible to make the entire area that had been silent immediately turned gripping.

"ATTACK!!"

From Tokiwaki's room, he instantly woke up when a shout by the knights running along the road started to echo.

"what's going on!?"

Tokiwaki quickly headed downstairs where Houki and Rin seemed to be confused.

"Tokiwaki, I felt a surge of mana energy from the main gate"

Houki said as he cast a magic spell from his wand.

"Not wrong, the attack came"

Trying to remain calm, Tokiwaki stared at Houki who seemed to want to say something.

"How much?"

The question that sounded too to his main point, made Houki have to put on a gloomy face.

"Too many" he said.

"....."

Tokiwaki directly came out of this house with a sword on his back, he ran as fast as he could towards the main gate.

"You're too reckless"

Rin said when he caught up with him, Tokiwaki who did not answer, he kept thinking about how to act as soon as possible to protect this city.

'Why should I be a hero!'

The bait was in mind when he saw the smoke that began to billow at that gate. He had been a hero in the face of various things that his thoughts were unable to accept. Since he was brought into this world when he was 17 years old, his thoughts were very different from what he thought today.

"Rin, Houki..... I, I'm gonna protect this town"

He said in a tone full of confidence, but hidden feelings of regret and fear that remained enveloped him as long as he was in this world.

As they arrived at the gate, the three of them stared intently at what was there.

"..... Rin, Houki, I think we should be serious"

Tokiwaki when he saw the scene where many bodies were lying on the ground, began to clasp tightly onto the hilt of his sword, in front of them hundreds of demon-like creatures seemed to run amok trying to destroy the walls of this city.

"Houki! Make barier! Rin, immediately evacuate the residents to a safe area!"

"Good"

"Good"

Both responded quickly to his orders.

Houki who has a role almost the same as Riria/Priestess, namely Battle Mage, so he can use some Priestess abilities with Battle Mage role status.

"Oh loving and protective World Realm, bless me with your strength, Divine Protection!"

The fence made of light that stretches long through this city, the fence is an absolute shield that is able to fend off all physical and magic attacks so as to protect those behind the fence of light.

"Hehe.... Look at this, Blizzard!!"

Rin's icy elements instantly formed a variety of ice rocks that quickly attacked the creatures that entered the city.

"The power of nature, I ask you, give me your heavenly power"

Tokiwaki's sword quickly shone brightly as if dawn was happening here.

Tokiwaki quickly darted towards the demons, with a single slash he managed to cut through the dozens of demons in front of him.

"Yeah!!!!! The Sword of Phoenix!"

Tokiwaki's sword began to be enveloped in the burning flames, he ran and dodged every attack that came towards him, counterattacking with the strength he had, the dozens of creatures he defeated without pause.

"huh.hah"

Tokiwaki cursed when he saw the total number of enemies growing, the wall that protects this city also began to appear to be destroyed in a moment, he could only give time for the evacuation to be completed led by Houki and Rin.

In other words,

"I should be able to hold them here alone"

Amid the chaos of this invasion, panic quickly swept through the sleeping city.

In the throne room, the King who seemed to be asleep very quickly was awakened by one of the knights kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we were attacked"

The King with a sharp face stared outwards where thick smoke billowed from there.

"Prepare the whole unit, we have to defend the city"

"By pleasure, Your Majesty"

The king along with his representatives began to walk down the castle corridor with their quick footsteps towards the armament room where he for the first time in 20 years re-worn his armor again.

'Who would have thought that I should wear this again'

He thought when he saw himself who had finished wearing the iron armor he used to wear while still in the royal knight union.

In Tokiwaki's position, he began to run out of breath because of the many enemies he had to fight alone.

"The Word of Phoenix!"

Once again he forced himself to use the fire element which greatly drained the magical energy present in his body.

"Yet... Still not!"

His impact on the endless enemies.

The fire quickly snatched into several empty houses making the atmosphere more chaotic, the evacuation process is still carried out, he said, luckily, the energy barrier from Houki was still able to hold off the demons who were trying to break through deep into the residential area

'Not yet, not yet! I need to be stronger!'

When he could barely stand up again. His hands began to tremble due to exhaustion, even his legs began to refuse to stand up, but Tokiwaki still continued to force himself to stand up and fight against the waves of creatures that kept popping.

In the midst of the chaos, something seemed to appear behind the smoke

"Damn it!"

The figure of a giant creature with a body height of 2 meters more began to break down the royal wall followed by a loud roar that seemed ready to destroy whatever was in front of him.

"Gerrr....."

Tokiwaki who was no longer able to stand up, stared at the monster with a sharp look.

"He .he... Sorry to keep you waiting"

Rin and Houki come to his position with Rin putting on a face ready to fight.

"Heh... You are old" Reply Tokiwaki with a smile, Houki quickly cast a recovery spell on him, his face that had paled due to running out of magical energy, slowly began to recover

"Thank you, Houki"

"Don't hesitate, anyways we have to quickly defeat them"

"Hum... You're right"

Rin, Houki and Tokiwaki, the three began to appear ready to face the creature with a face full of confidence.

"Houki, go!"

Shouted Tokiwaki as he dashed swiftly towards the creature, very quickly he dodged every blow that came towards him.

A magic circle formed under Houki's feet, the magic circle then displayed a fairly bright white light then it struck at the Monster that had a shape resembling blades of blades that were hovering towards it.

One by one the light attacks penetrated the creature's skin.

"Aarrrghhh!!!!! Graaahhhh!!!"

The creature roars loudly, apparently angry at them, Rin herself helps Tokiwaki attack and slash the creature's skin with their sword, making the creature roar even harder.

"Don't let me!"

Rin who saw the creature was ready to hit towards the barrier of light formed by Houki, swiftly he used both hands covered with ice magic.

"Ice Stickers!"

A magic circle forms in front of his fist, Rin then hits the creature which spontaneously causes it to slam into several empty houses.

"Toki!"

Tokiwaki who saw that momentum, began to add to his strength which he directed all towards the sword that was in his hand.

"hyaah!!!!! Flame Swords!"

Tokiwaki slashed his sword at the creature which instantly split the creature in two as a result of the sword being layered with fire energy from it.

"Huh .. hah ...."

Tokiwaki started to run out of magic energy again, Rin and Houki started to come to him when they saw Tokiwaki who was unable to stand up.

"Let me recover your energy"

Houki started chanting incantations that slowly began to replenish his magic energy.

"Have they finished?"

Rin saw that the creatures did not come again, starting to think that this was over but naively they thought that this fight was over

...****************...

Delta Command Room Headquarters, Delta,

Lieutenant General Norman, along with the commandos of the troop missions in the region, were looking at the situation through live footage from the reconnaissance aircraft as well as the radar plane, the E-2C Hawkeye, which was located in the area, which broadcasts the situation in the kingdom.

"Letjend, it seems we have to send in a squadron of F-18s"

One of the officers proposed when they saw an infrared trace of a collection of creatures approaching the kingdom from the other side of the kingdom, it seems that they are planning to attack from both sides and on the side that they will attack is the northwest side where the safe house location of the troops they sent.

"No need, we can't risk such a plane for this mission"

He said to the officer, it seems that the creatures are getting closer to the northwest gate, the only air asset they can send with a high level of effectiveness is the A-10A Thunderbolt.

"Colonel, order the air force to prepare the A-10, also notify the JTAC team to immediately guide air support"

"Commission Letjend"

At the temporary airfield where the runway was still leveled, four A-10A Thunderbolt II aircraft with AGM & JDAM payloads were preparing to take off.

Meanwhile in the kingdom, Tokiwaki, Houki and Rin who had gathered with the royal forces began to secure the situation, and, but they never would have guessed if something much worse was waiting for them somewhere else.

"Report! The attack is bigger than the northwest!!"

One of the panicked knights kneeled before them, hearing the report the three heroes summoned to this world widened his eyes.

"..how can!?"

Rin and Houki begin to get scared when they hear reports of a far more demonic army invading the northwest.

"G...... !!"

"T.. Tokiwaki!?"

Tokiwaki did not wait anymore, he darted quickly towards the place, a very large attack with many residents evacuated to the region made him growl and curse him.

"Damn it!"

In the darkness of the night, the northwest gate quickly turned into horror.

"Everyone run!"

The knight's order when he saw the gate succeed in the midget, the panicked population ran around unnoticed.

The panic gets worse when one by one the houses are burned and destroyed.

Residents who were silent in fear stared in horror at this attack.

Tokiwaki who still continues to curse and curse himself, can only hope that there are no casualties.

'Why did this happen!'

"Please!!"

A loud shout echoed in his ears, just as he saw someone about to be attacked by the demon, Tokiwaki immediately shot towards him trying to use his body to protect the person.

He could only hope that if he died here, at least he wanted to be able to see his family once again.

Till

("Go loud!!")

A very familiar language, he did not know whether to dream or not, but the sound was very familiar.

He could only think that he must have died from the demonic attack that was trying to attack the people.

But his thinking changes after an unexpected encounter that he will see before his own eyes.
