Normal's POV
After all the training and the words that Satria gave to Aditya, a day that could not be said to be positive came, Aditya plunged into battle to defend his country from the Dutch state that tried to colonize. With resistance, all Indonesian fighters advanced to defend their beloved homeland.
"Aditya, whatever happens.Use your experience as your teacher, Indonesian weaponry only relies on this pointed bamboo and weapons that can not be said to be sophisticated but we can steal it!" satria exclaimed, he raised two rifles and threw one at Aditya who was sheltering behind a tree.
Aditya quickly took the rifle and filled it quickly, he could also see the Dutch troops were right behind the tree and their numbers were overwhelming. Only Satria and Aditya separated from the other fighters but they could see Satria and Aditya were in trouble.
Fortunately there was one fighter who held a bow, he used the bow to reduce the number of Dutch troops even to make them split and alert with every tree, they had just learned that one of the Indonesian troops had just been hiding in a tree.
"Aditya.. use this rifle to show who deserves to achieve peace, stealing advanced weapons like this is a pretty good way to celebrate independence." Satria began to aim at one of the Dutch soldiers who was looking the other way and he managed to shoot his head until it was destroyed.
Aditya did the same thing by shooting one of the Dutch soldiers off guard, they manage to survive and the entire Dutch army they see begins to wane but Aditya starts to ask Satria to escape as he sees reinforcements coming, Satria began to approach some innocent citizens and led them to a safe place.
Other Dutch troops came, they started shooting some innocent citizens even to the point of making Aditya surprised when he saw it, he tried to attack but Satria stopped himself by approaching him and dropped the rifle he had almost aimed at one of the soldiers.
"We must be calm. If we want to win then do all this slowly, the process is needed and it will be better if we kill them secretly.one by one..." What Satria had just said made Aditya go silent for a moment.
Satria and Aditya start to escape to safety, some Dutch soldiers start to realize Satria and Aditya are trying to escape, but they are, all the Dutch soldiers immediately aimed at them and tried to shoot them but not a single bullet hit their bodies because Satria and Aditya continued to run by zigzagging and taking cover behind such a big tree.
Aditya starts aiming at some Dutch soldiers behind him using the rifle and he starts shooting at him with the origin in order to hold all those troops, their breathing began to feel heavy as they tried to escape as far as possible from the Dutch troops. Aditya had no other choice but to jump into the ravine before him which had a waterfall.
"Satria, are you coming with me?"
"You're planning something?"
"Yes..." Aditya started to jump forward and he could see the river water was so big but the goal was not to fall towards that river, he had used a pointed bamboo that he was under behind his back by piercing one of the stones that had a large gap.
The pointed bamboo started to enter into that gap, Aditya quickly held it tightly and he started to help the recently fallen Satria by grabbing her right hand, Satria was shocked when she saw Aditya who was filled with sweat as he tried to hold the weight of Satria's body and tried to strengthen his hand.
Once he let go of the spiky bamboo, he and Satria would fall into the rocks so large, causing both their legs to break. Satria quickly began to hold a rock that was safe to hold so that she climbed to a safer place.
Aditya quickly managed to save himself with Satria from all the Dutch troops who thought that he and Satria went into the river, which was, they had no other choice but to use an easier way to approach the river that was within the gorge.
"Good quick thoughts, Aditya. I can't believe that you're gonna figure this out fast."
"If I hadn't seen the gap earlier.we might have gotten into the river but I had a better way, the enemy seemed to think we were falling into the river. That means they have a lot of slits in the back." Aditya sees Satria who is trying to help herself rise towards the surface.
"Teu thought it was (Unexpectedly), my best friend indeed deserves to be a Raden and a squad leader."
Hearing the noise alone made Aditya convinced that the reinforcements of the Indonesian forces came to their surprise, quickly Satria and Aditya began to approach the battlefield again and they were shocked by the many corpses.
Not just the corpses of soldiers, even the bodies of innocent residents scattered everywhere, upsetting Satria so much that he moved closer to killing the entire Dutchman while Aditya kept at the rear by spending the rest, he was also surprised by some Dutch soldiers carrying Infantry trucks.
All the soldiers in the truck were heavily armed and even spent part of the Indonesian troops that had just arrived, quickly Aditya starts to approach one of the trucks and tries to destroy it using the rifle he was carrying and another pointed bamboo he took from the fallen soldier.
It just so happened that the truck was right in front of Aditya, so he was able to attack him from behind by stabbing the back of a trooper holding the automatic firearm, after the soldier he had just killed died, he quickly grabbed a grenade and turned it on and put it in the back seat of the truck.
He jumped back and fell, watching the truck in front of him explode until it slowly retreated towards him and tried to bully him. Aditya tried not to panic, he retreated backwards but was surprised by the Dutch troops who were right nearby.
"Sial--" Aditya widens his eyes when he sees Satria succeed in killing Dutch troops who are close to him.
"Just calm down, I'll help---Aghhh!!!" One shot hit Satria's waist, making her fall over Aditya's body even to the point of making herself speechless.
"Sa-Satria...?!"
Aditya could see the soldier who shot Satria hit the clothes like the leader of the army, the soldier was seen wounded by the explosion from the truck but he could still survive and the rifle he was holding ran out of bullets, the soldier refilled the ammunition and tried to target Aditya.
Aditya quickly grabbed the rifle held by Satria and managed to shoot the Dutch soldier in the leg until it fell next to Aditya, he is still alive but Aditya ends his life by taking out a razor in Satria's trouser pocket and putting it in the soldier's eyes, bleeding himself and dying.
"Satria...!" Aditya began to push Satria's body slowly and seeing his condition, he was immediately grateful when he saw himself still surviving but he got a fatal wound on his waist.
Other Indonesian forces began to approach Aditya and Satria to attack the approaching Dutch forces, Aditya tries to check his condition and Satria himself has resigned that the shot was enough to make himself unable to continue his life to write the history of independence.
"I. I won't be able to survive, Aditya..."
"I'm by your side, man, calm down!" Aditya begins to displace Satria's body and takes her to a safer place so that the bleeding he gets on her waist can stop.
An Indonesian soldier began to give Aditya a gun and he used it to shoot some Dutch troops coming from the front, he could also hear one of the Indonesian soldiers asking the entire army to withdraw due to their large numbers.
"Aditya. is of no use..."
"...you've fought. We fight together..."
"...Indonesia must dare to die to try to achieve independence!"
