A week later,
I've been here for a few days now, finally,
The Amdis Alliance
After going through a period of training that was quite difficult and exciting, we were all given a small pin in the form of a golden horse by Commander Lucian.
Typical logo of Amdis city.
Both of his legs were raised to the sky which symbolized spirit and unyielding. This is in the sense that we are officially already a member of the Amdis alliance.
--
At 10:35 in the morning.
Several members of the alliance were ordered by Commander Lucian to suddenly gather in the meeting room as there was an important matter to discuss together.
Me, Louis, and Simas were ordered by Commander Lucian to head for the meeting room immediately.
"I haven't finished my bread!" exclaimed Simas, who was in a hurry to eat because there was a sudden meeting.
The sound of footsteps was clearly heard in every corner of the meeting room. Most of them I don't know very well and just say hello to names.
Tumben once Commander Lucian called us.
After a few minutes, Commander Lucian and Captain Jan entered the room. The smell of chocolate smelled right in my nose as Captain Jan passed me by.
One of the seniors carried an old large map and spread it over a round table. It's full of code I don't understand on that map.
"This time we will have an expedition" Commander Lucian said. Suddenly the atmosphere became silent for a moment. There was only Commander Lucian's voice echoing in every corner of the room. The continuously rotating fan was watching this meeting.
"Ekspedition to Kimo Village" he continued, showing a region with a long wood.
"We must take over the village from the demons before they take over more territory than humans!" emphatically. "This village is quite filled with high forests and most likely many demons nesting within it."
"The jiang is a great time to go on an expedition because they are quite weak during the day."
Captain Jan was just observing Commander Lucian's conversation. His face looked serious.
"That means we have to get back before night time?" ask one of the alliance members to Commander Lucian while raising his hand.
"Yes" he answered briefly. Suddenly the meeting room was full of whispers of people.
"Now we'll split the team first" he said.
Each member is divided into several squads and accompanied by its squad leader. One team has 8 teams. There were 2 Alta, 2 Ignatius, 2 Odora, and 2 Greer.
Squad Commander Illyana leads the rear-line squad. Commander Lucian and Captain Jan are among the frontline squads who will lead the expedition.
"Clement, you're leading a left-wing team!" commander Lucian called Senior Clement to lead the left wing. His face was expressionless and flat upon hearing the orders from Commander Lucian.
I'm on a team with Squad Commander Clement, along with a few others I don't know. Louis and Simas were in the right wing.
This was my first expedition, though,
I fear.
My heart is beating fast.
Suddenly a hand touched my shoulder. Louis smiled at me.
"Don't be afraid." he whispered. "You can do it!"
I just smiled and looked down, still feeling agitated and trying to convince myself.
We began to strategize the expedition using small, colorful beams.
"We will split up when we start entering the forest there" Commander Lucian said. "Your location will be detected in the GPS that you will use later."
"Commander Lucian," I asked. "Sorry I cut, why don't you use some kind of colorful powder shot?"
Everyone's eyes were on me.
"Don't, it could stimulate the enemy's hearing even further!" firmly answer. "It's better to use GPS to detect the location."
"Then from that, now you are rushing to make preparations to set out!" commander Lucian exclaimed, telling us to hurry to prepare ourselves. Eventually the meeting dissolved and we all left the meeting room.
I walk with a restless feeling. Not quiet. However, I must face.
I immediately rushed back to the dorm room and picked up an AK-47 assault rifle, a gift from Mama Mathilda. I always carry that rifle because it's in memory of her who's gone.
Then, I also took a pistol and some bullets that had been designed in such a way as to kill demons and other tools that were useful for this expedition.
I saw Alexa watching me. Suddenly he hugged me from behind.
"Don't leave me!" alexa exclaimed with her sad cute face. His tiny hand touched my stomach causing a tingling effect from his fingers.
I turned around and bowed towards him.
"I'll be back, Alexa!" my spoken. Trying to cheer him up. "Party part doang."
However, he just fell silent and watched me who was busy preparing myself.
"Bye!" I said as I stroked her cute hair and left it in the dorm room.
Just by myself in the middle of the hallway of the dormitory carrying an AK-47 assault rifle I put behind me and headed outside the alliance headquarters. While walking in the hallway, I saw Rin staring at the window.
I watched what he was watching. Only a group of humans ran there and there busy preparing for an expedition to Kimo Village.
"Rin?" my reproach. His facial expression was shocked as I rebuked him suddenly.
"Bull, huh?"
"M—sorry," That's all that came out of his mouth.
"Review kambet!" I said while patting her shoulder.
"Go first, yeah!" I said immediately leaving his form still silent in front of the window.
"Be careful, Nica!" he said, But I just waved my hand without looking at him.
Suddenly a strange feeling appeared in my heart lately.
Looks like there's something he's hiding ....
"Suudzon mulu!" I tried to think positively and not prejudiced against Rin who started acting strangely. He is, after all, his character like that. Mysteriously.
A gentle breeze blew slowly, welcoming myself who arrived outside the headquarters. The cloudy weather seemed to support my expedition for the first time. Lots of people who walked here and there while carrying important equipment to carry out this expedition.
I saw Louis with his horse.
"Dam!" I held him and approached him. He also looked at me. I saw her who was better prepared to go on an expedition than I was.
"Have you ready!" I said as I looked at Louis from top to bottom.
"Surely dong!" he clenched his right hand. "You too!"
I just laughed with a grimacing heart.
Don't ask back.
Suddenly Captain Jan approached the two of us.
"Ready!" captain Jan exclaimed cheering us both on with his smile that still looked creepy.
"Ready, Captain!" both of us salute in the presence of Captain Jan.
"This is your first expedition" he said, giving us a watch-like device that acts as a GPS to track the location of each team, as Commander Lucian explained at the meeting.
We took the watch and put it on our wrists. Instantly the tool immediately turns on and displays a collection of red dots that settle in one place.
"Whoaah!" I cried while staring at the GPS device that suddenly lit up.
Louis simply observed the device expressionlessly.
"It's to track where you are" explains Captain Jan.
"Okay, thank you, Captain!" I said while respecting in front of him.
"Thank you, Captain!" louis said he was respectful.
"Do your best!" Captain Jan patted both of us on the shoulder and left us both. The smell of chocolate still smelled to the bottom of my nose.
Suddenly Alexa ran up to me and Louis. Breath snuffling.
"Hey don't run away either" I said staring at her blushing face.
"A—aku only ...."
"I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU!" alexa exclaimed with her cute voice half-screaming so that some of the other soldiers stared at us.
"I told you a few times, don't worry!" my spoken. "Believe dong."
"We will both try to be careful on this expedition" Louis said, giving a faint smile on his lips.
Alexa just kept silent.
Fast running time sec–demi–second. Therefore, we must immediately carry out the expedition before sunset.
Each member of the alliance chosen to conduct an expedition conquering the Kimo region from the demons directly mounted his own horse while bringing the greatest hope to mankind.
This is my first time riding a horse. White horses are like milk.
Real pretty.
"Here we go~!" I said with Mario. I try to think positively about what is happening to me right now.
I saw Alexa waving at me with a smile. I answered his hand. Seconds–demi–second form also disappeared because it was blocked by buildings that as it passed.
About 1,000 troops were deployed to carry out the mission.
Because of the rather cold weather, we wear a hood to warm the body more. The wind that blows against the direction of the horse. The sky was cloudy as if watching my adventure just begin. People were staring at us with cheering expressions, watching us marching towards the city gates of Amdis, far from the headquarters of the Amdis Alliance in the city centre.
Very enthusiastic of them!
They seemed to hold hope to us from the dazzling glare of his eyes.
"We will do our best for you!" my spoken. Instantly, you have a feeling of confidence and passion for this expedition.
There was a large symbol of a horse lifting its legs up into the sky, right on the towering brick wall. The gate slowly opened automatically because there was a sound sensor from underground and opened us the way.
Finally, we came out of the Amdis region.
Expedition begins!
Has not been given a warning from Commander Lucian.
We continue to head west. Faces full of ambition and resignation are clearly visible from each of the facial expressions of those around me. There was no talk, there was only the sound of horse footsteps alternating.
The wind was blowing quite fiercely against the direction. I don't see any houses here. Just a vast expanse of grassland, a distant green hill, and a beautiful field of sunflowers were watching us carry out the expedition.
It turns out that outside the city of Amdis is also a beautiful sight ....
I watched every object that came. The fresh green scent was exhaled by the wind to the point of deafening my sense of smell.
It's been about 2 hours we've been moving from Amdis to the West.
The Kimo Village.
I saw exactly a few more kilo meters would enter the area of the forest that was notoriously dense and had high tree roots. As Commander Lucian had told me during the meeting.
"All squads are getting ready to split up!" exclaim Commander Lucian began to prepare cues to each squad.
"START!"
I began to follow the movements of the Commander of the Clement Squad by pulling the rope tied to my horse to control the direction of my path.
Each squad began to enter that vast forest area. My heart is beating so fast. My hair began to stand when I saw the atmosphere of the forest far from my expedition. This forest is much more sinister and dark. Very little sunlight that enters because it is blocked by the roots and leaves are wide so that it causes a lot of puddles in the soil.
I couldn't see the other squads through both my eyes as if we were locked inside this forest.
I saw the GPS on my wrist. Red dots spread out in every corner of the forest. Bizarrely. There was no trace at all.
There are no enemies here. Instantly my mind was filled with many questions about the state of this forest.
"Clement Squad Commander Clement!" exclaim one of the team members with me calling
"It's so quiet!" yells.
"There is no enemy movement at all!" sahut one.
"It seems like they are trying to play around with us" replied Squad Commander Clement.
Suddenly, a large, hairy demon appeared with fiery red eyes and horns as if challenging the eight of us. The creature was standing right in front of there staring at us.
"A—WHAT IS IT?!" I was surprised to see the presence of the ugly creature suddenly.
"Prepare to attack!" exclaim Commander Team Clement firmly while removing his flagship playing card.
I immediately took out an AK-47 assault rifle with a bullet that had been modified to kill demons. Ready-to-target. But something surprising happened.
The demon ... disappeared suddenly out of nowhere.
We were all surprised.
"Eh?"
DHUAARRR
Suddenly, a mysterious explosion toppled all eight of us. Our bodies were thrown away from each other and lay weakly on the damp ground. Our horses fell and some fled.
What explosion was that?
My vision suddenly became blurry and quite made my head dizzy. My head hit the ground pretty hard.
The fog from the mysterious explosion enveloped the eight of us. The scenery around the forest instantly becomes white–th. My eyes were watery and sore when forced to open both my eyes wider. I saw Squad Commander Clement and the other members being thrown away from me. They are completely unconscious.
I am the only one who is conscious.
I tried to get up from this position of my carelessness, but nil because my right leg was sprained. Mama Mathilda's AK-47 weapon was thrown quite far from my current position. I tried to reach it, but it failed and my legs got worse. All the movements felt heavy as if I was carrying stones all over my body.
"Oh yes, right," I said. Instantly I remembered that I was carrying a gun that was quite deadly as well. However, it felt heavy to take the object like it was held by 100 hands.
"Damn!" I began to despair about my current situation. I monitored the GPS, but suddenly it didn't work properly or error.
"How else do I have to be?!"
Suddenly a pitch-black figure appeared among the mysterious smog. Long-haired and horned figure. The horns resemble aries horns. Flying while carrying a human head. The longer I get closer.
"Clement Squad Commander Clement! Wake up to the cake on show on fainting again!" my grunts panicked half-deadly looking at the condition of my team that was unconscious all. I was just stunned to see the horrible sight right in front of my eyes.
Sitting and holding no weapons.
He's headed this way!
His pointed, long nails stuck the head of the person he had just pulled out and swung it back and forth. His gaze focused on me who was drooping weakly on the ground.
"I don't think a demon exterminator like you guys is so weak" he said in a large voice, belittling me. His hand focused on swinging the head of the person he had just decapitated.
I don't know that guy, probably one of the left wing lines.
The demonic woman crouched before me.
I'm speechless.
My mouth is mute.
However, I can't accept him saying that!
He touched my face using his long index finger and scratched my cheek. Blood started to flow out.
"That's so hot!" he said while laughing wickedly. The scent of the carcass clearly smelled from his body.
His eyes began to notice the number of unconscious left-wing troops. He got up from his squatting position and walked past me who was weak.
The demonic woman approached the Commander of the Clement Squad.
Squad Commander! Don't you die!
With my heart pounding, I tried to grab the gun that initially felt heavy because of the energy from the demonic woman. I directly aimed it at his heart from behind.
"Aha, you're after my heart, huh?" the demon exclaimed knowing my actions without even seeing me.
Damn, I was wrong!
The creature instantly squeezed my right hand that was pointing a gun at him with its unusual power.
He knows my purpose without seeing me.
"Aakhs!" My hand was broken forcibly by him like being crushed by a python so that the gun I had been holding, finally fell out of my grasp.
His sharp nails began to touch the face of the Commander of the Clement Squad.
"DON'T HURT HIM!"
Instantly he was silent behind me.
"GO ALL THE WAY LO!" I snapped at him to keep him away from Commander Squad Clement. Instantly the action stopped.
Bodo I really don't care, the important thing is Commander Squad Clement survived!
I tried to get up from the ground with all my might. Against the powerful energy of that demonic woman. In the end, I managed to stand up but with an imperfect position of having to endure the pain all over my body.
"BY ONE HERE!" my challenge.
His head turned 360 degrees and looked at me.
So serem!
Now we both face each other.
"Just this time I was challenged by a weak human like you," said the demonic woman. The head of the man he had been holding, now he threw no idea where.
I don't care if I have to die here, I have to protect Commander Squad Clement and the others.
Any way!
I must try to defeat this vicious creature in front of me.
Nica you can do it! You can definitely!
The pain in both my eyes due to the mysterious smog and the pain all over my body I had to fight.
I can't keep going like this. That thing keeps underestimating me.
"I'll chop off your head if you lose!" saith. His statement reflected the arrogance that every opponent considered weak to face him.
It's not that easy, Miss Demon!
I took my breath in and exhaled it. I felt a strong energy absorb into me.
This energy was completely different, like a great power.
The demonic woman instantly pulled out her fangs along with her long tongue. The nails in each of his hands were getting elongated and pointed, ready to pounce on me. His eyes were red. His movements instantly quickly hit me.
While shouting.

At 14:26
Right-wing squads during the expedition.
Louis's PoV
They roamed a vast and quite dark forest. Humid Eve really feels. Puddles of water everywhere, because of the sunlight that can not reach the bottom of the forest.
Suddenly a red signal emanated from the GPS on Louis' wrist.
"The left wing is in danger!" simas exclaims while looking at the GPS device in his left hand.
"Dine?!" Instantly he crossed Louis's brain.
He is in danger, himself!
A feeling of panic as well as worry stuck in him now.
I have to get there!
"You must not be reckless! Be patient and stay together" Squad Commander Lewis told Louis, knowing the thoughts of his men.
Louis was forced to obey the orders of Squad Commander Lewis.
Nica hold!
Instantly his concentration on this mission was shattered.
"There's a swarm of enemies coming from one o'clock!" exclaim Squad Commander Lewis. "Prepare to attack!" emphatically.
Stella immediately issued a green shield and added mana so that the team can launch a good attack on the target.
Louis immediately pulled out the iron sword given by Mr. William. This is not an ordinary sword, but a sword that has been modified so that there is a deadly poison for the devil.
It looked as if a swarm of demons with a sizable body were running to attack the right-wing squads using their long fingernails. Their eyes glow red and their tongues stick out long accompanied by long fangs.
They look very hungry.
Even they make a noise that is quite noisy and not good at hearing.
Louis slashed their hearts.
Even some of them jumped up high, trying to ambush one of the right-wing squads. However, their efforts were unsuccessful because they were protected by the shield provided by Stella who played Greer in the squad.
Louis' sword was full of the blood of the red devil.
"Give it!" louis said as he saw thick blood flowing at the tip of his sword.
Anyway, I have to exterminate them!
But, it's strange. They are not finished.
"Commander of the Squad," called Louis to Squad Commander Lewis who was busy slashing the enemy's heart using his flagship large axe.
"They are getting more and more!" exclaim Louis.
"Our plane is surrounded!" exclaim Senior Stanley while launching an arrow into the heart of the enemy. "My land will run out a little."
Suddenly there was a rumble coming from the West.
The sound was enough to make a bunch of birds fly into the sky. The rumbling sounds echoed in every corner of the forest.
Suddenly a swarm of demons attacked us, finally running towards the West. Towards the source of the rumble.
"What's that sound?" ask Louis. He had never heard that voice before.
Like a monster's voice. A big monster!
"Follow their tracks!" exclaimed Squad Commander Lewis told his team to follow in the footsteps of the demons running to the source of the rumble. They should stay careful.
--
Arrive at the source of the sound,
"What the fuck?" louis said when he reached the source of the voice.
Eyes rounded. He stared at the pretty scary scene before him.
Full blood.
The swarm of demons that were running around initially instantly arrived at the source of the sound, they were all lying full of blood. Most of them have even been heart-wrecked. One of them was half cut off by his neck.
The right-wing squads who had just arrived at the source of the silent voice stared at this terrifying event.
Squad Commander Lewis rounded his eyes with his mouth half-opened. Then he said, "A—ada what really happened?"
It was impossible for the alliance army to slash them all.
There must be something.
"Check every location!" commandant of Squad Lewis.
"Okay, Squad Commander!" The entire right-wing warrior instantly spread to all corners of this mysterious scene.
"Nica! Where're you?" louis shouted with a feeling of worry for the existence of the woman. He kept looking until he met.
Suddenly Louis found a woman lying half-backed. Her red hair covered her face.
"MISS!" louis saw Nica's blood-soaked body. There were many cuts on his stomach. The robe he was wearing had already been completely torn together with his red jacket full of bloodstains.
He lost a lot of blood.
Louis hurried down from his horse and approached the unconscious form of Nica on the ground. He touched the woman's pulse.
Still throbbing.
However, his heart was beating slowly. His body temperature also began to cool.
"NO! NICA, WAKEUP!" louis panicked. He shook the woman's body. Hugged Nica's body in her arms. "PLEASE!"
Unknowingly Louis had shed his tears onto Nica's blood-soaked face.
Then he also saw the army of left-wing squads lying unconscious and full of blood. Including Commander Squad Clement.
What the hell is going on here?
Why are they all lying weak?
And, those Devils, that,
Why did they fall at the same time?
His brain was filled with questions that needed to be answered immediately.
"Louis!" call Dimitri, approaching his grieving self while tightly hugging the still unconscious Nica.
Dimitri plays Greer who gives healing or mana to the team. He also volunteered for the wounded during the expedition. He directly checked the pulse on Nica's left hand with his two fingers. There was no response from him and directly switched to the bleeding area in Nica's stomach. Both of his hands touched the bleeding area so that his white gloves were stained with Nica's red blood.
His blood continued to flow and would not stop.
Fear and anxiety pierced each of Louis's selves. He only saw the action of Dimitri who was examining Nica's blood-filled body. Dimitri immediately launched a force from both hands directed over Nica's stomach which was bleeding heavily. His face seemed to be reciting a special mantra. Suddenly a green light emerged from Dimitri's hands as a secret spell was recited.
Just a few minutes later, the green light dimmed from Dimitri's hands.
"I've stopped the bleeding" Dimitri said as he opened his mask.
"Is he still alive?" asked the curious Louis half-dead.
"I'm not sure" he replied, "Because the wound is deep and serious enough, then he should be treated for a few days."
"His people are torn and must be restored by full rest."
Louis was silent at Dimitri's explanation.
Nica, what have you done?!
Unable to endure the pain in his chest,
So tight.
Nica's body was carried by Dimitri and another volunteer using a stretcher and taken to a special cart that had been made by the expedition using tree wood to transport the injured expedition died.
Greer volunteers and other troops helped each other lift the victims of this expedition to be put in a big wagon. Some other victims were not found. Some of the victims were found, where the dead were already lifeless, each wearing a body-covering bag that they brought from the headquarters.
Louis fell silent and sat in the wagon.
Looking at the form of Nica who is covered in a red hood. His face was sleeping and dreaming beautifully.
If only I had been there with him..
Louis regretted what had happened this time.
"He'll be up in a minute,"
Without realizing that Captain Jan was suddenly present beside Louis. "You look so moody."
It seemed like he had observed Louis's changed actions.
Louis remained silent. Not responding to Captain Jan's words and continuing to look at Nica who was still unconscious. Captain Jan's hand touched Louis's shoulder. He looked at Captain Jan. His face looked reassuring to Louis.
"I'm sure he'll be fine!" he said full of confidence.
Louis only smiled mixed with sadness. "Thank you, Captain!"
He left Louis and continued to take care of the victims of this expedition and interact with other members of the army.
Ruckus
Grief
Covering every member of the expedition.
One of them felt that he did not accept his friend to be a victim on this expedition.
Here's risk!
To become an alliance army, we must be willing to give up our lives to protect humanity.
Finally, Commander Lucian decided that all the expeditionary forces should be forced to return to the headquarters of the Amdis alliance because of the situation that did not allow it to continue. It has been stated that the first expedition to recapture the village of Kimo ....
Fail.
