Kapitel 7: Taking Supplies Mission
Erend touched his waist. But there was no dagger there. He thought is it still possible to use Systema's power here? This place doesn't seem like a place in the real world.
Even though Erend could feel the soft grass, the sweet scent of flowers, and the warm sunshine, he knew that he had just fainted on the battlefield.
And in front of him was an Elf who wanted to talk to him? That's new.
"What's your name?" The Elf girl asked in a friendly manner as if she wasn't talking to the enemy.
"Introduce yourself first," replied Erend.
"Oh, that's right." Aurdis looks taken aback. "My name is Aurdis."
"Aurdis, huh? You're the first Elf I know the name," said Erend. "I don't want to say my name."
Aurdis frowned. "Why?"
"I just don't want to do it." Erend folded his arms across his chest. He didn't need to be friendly to the enemy, right?
Aurdis who had never received this kind of treatment from anyone felt surprised. She who was a Princess was usually always treated with respect. But this human?
"Now free me from this Elf Magic." Erend looked at Aurdis.
"Wait." Aurdis tried to control herself. "I haven't asked you anything yet."
"I don't want to answer."
"But-"
"You are my enemy," Erend said firmly.
Aurdis looked up at him and their eyes met. But Aurdis could only see the determination from him. He really didn't want to say anything.
"Now," said Erend. "Free me."
Erend's behavior made Aurdis, who originally just wanted to talk, become annoyed.
"I will not set you free." Now it was Aurdis' turn to fold her arms under her protruding chest.
Erend snorted. "Then, if I kill you, maybe I can get out of this place."
Aurdis widened her eyes. "You want to kill me?!"
"Why not? I've killed a lot of Elves. Adding one won't mean much."
Aurdis knew that the man in front of her was serious.
"Answer one of my questions and I'll get you out of here," Aurdis said. "It would be easier than us fighting here, right?"
"It all depends on your question. Maybe your question will force me to fight," replied Erend.
"Okay." Aurdis sighed. "I'll just ask what your name is."
"I don't want to tell you," Erend answered quickly. As if there was no need to think about anything.
"Why?!" Aurdis was irritated.
"You pointy-eared creatures can use Magic. Who knows what you can do with my name?"
Aurdis pursed her lips. It was true that Elves could use real names to drop Magic.
"But I didn't mean to do that!" Aurdis said.
"Ha ha ha!" Erend laughed humorlessly. "You'll have to learn trickery again. It almost worked."
"Really! I was just curious because I was curious about the power you have!"
Aurdis' words made Erend's face turn stiff. He looked at Aurdis seriously now.
"What do you mean?" Erend asked.
"You have a mysterious power, right?"
Erend was silent.
"That power, show me-"
Before Aurdis finished speaking, Erend immediately lunged at her and raised his fist.
"AAA!!!" Aurdis shouted.
What happened next was a white light flashing out blinding Erend.
"WAAAAH!"
Erend looked around at the surroundings. He had already returned to the medical room inside the bunker. A nurse came up to him with a surprised face.
"What do you feel?" The woman asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Uhmm..." Erend looked around in confusion. He was quite familiar with the atmosphere of the medical room. This means he's really back in the bunker now.
"I'm fine," Erend replied. The nurse breathed a sigh of relief. She is a beautiful young woman.
The reason for her being here was quite strange according to Erend. She said she only wanted to help the soldiers. Even though she could hide peacefully within the walls. Her name is Alice.
"You fainted on the battlefield. Do you remember that?" Alice asked.
"Yeah. I remember some."
Erend imagined what the Elf he slaughtered on the battlefield last night looked like.
"What about the others?" Erend asked.
"They're much better than you so you don't have to worry," Alice replied.
After that Erend was allowed to leave the treatment room because his condition was already fine.
Eren did feel like he was recovering and when he looked at his MP, he saw that it indeed had recovered. It seems that resting recovers his MP dan maybe HP too.
Billy greeted him with a tired mumble.
"You don't look worried about me,"
Erend said as he sat on his bed.
"I knew you'd be all right," Billy replied.
"What you did last night was pretty awesome you know that?"
"Yeah, I know. But I almost died doing it."
"A little more I thought you were going to die. If Lt. Boartusk hadn't ordered us to charge forward, you would have been dead," Billy said.
"Yeah, about that. Thank you." Erend smiled.
"Don't thank me. I was prepared to let you die if the Lt. didn't give me orders," Billy said flatly.
Erend Chuckled. He knew Billy wouldn't do that. It was all just sarcasm that he gave off as usual.
Time flies. What Erend did was spread throughout the bunker and he was nicknamed Mad Dog because of his crazy behavior. Erend just laughed when he heard that.
That morning, Lt. Boartusk summoned all of his squad members for the next mission they were about to undertake.
"We will take supplies of ammunition, new weapons, and food. I finally managed to persuade our Handler to give it to us. But still, we have to take it ourselves," said Lt. Boartusk.
A few of the soldiers sighed. The humans within the walls didn't even bother to deliver supplies to the people who risked their lives protecting theirs.
This is nothing new. It's just that everything still feels sad and provokes their anger. But then again, they had no choice.
"Drake! You will lead this mission."
"Yes, sir!" Erend immediately answered.
"Good. Get ready and get going."
Lt. Boartusk concludes the meeting for this mission. The soldiers went into their respective rooms to prepare.
They all gathered in front of the bunker a few minutes later with full weapons and armor. There are ten of them in total.
Lt. Boartusk couldn't risk sending too many people because the Elves might attack unexpectedly.
Billy was driving the truck and Erend was beside him. The soldiers who participated in the mission this time were all new recruits except for Erend and Billy.
"Hey, man. I feel good that you're on this mission," Billy said.
"Is that so?" Erend replied.
"Yeah. You can face the enemy if we're ambushed."
Erend turned to him. "Then you're just going to leave me?"
Billy turned his head with a look of made-up surprise. "How did you know about that?"
Then he chuckled. Erend just snorted.

Kapitel 8: The Elves want to Talk
The distance from the bunker on the front line to the wall separating the Republic of Ascaria from the outside world was quite far.
They had to drive ten kilometers to get there. Then after that, they had to stop for a while at the checkpoint.
Though not anything worth checking out. All of this seemed to be done so that the soldiers outside the wall would not immediately enter.
To get supplies, they still had to drive to the main base. Only then could Erend and the others get off their truck.
They start in the morning. But now it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Erend saluted. "CPL. Erend Drake from the west bunker. We'd like to get the ammunition, weapons, and food supplies."
An officer with a bored face turned to Erend for a moment. Then he exhaled his cigarette smoke.
"Wait here," said the officer. Then he went back.
Erend and the others were waiting in the warehouse. They could see that several boxes had been prepared. Maybe the officer came back to get some documents.
"You want to take supplies today?" A voice made them all turn their heads.
A man in military uniform with a sword hanging from his waist walked up to them.
Erend looked away because he didn't want to look at him.
He is Geralt Colibri. An officer with the rank of Lieutenant was promoted because of his father.
"Yes, sir!" John, one of the soldiers who came with them answered.
Geralt looked at them all disdainfully. Then he saw the presence of Erend who turned his face away.
"I didn't think you two were still alive at this point," said Geralt as he looked at Erend and Billy.
"We're still here, sir," Billy answered with a smile.
But Erend didn't even look at him. It made Geralt feel unnoticed. He walked towards Erend and then drew the sword from his waist.
Erend who saw him walking closer turned around and looked at him flatly.
Geralt jumped suddenly and then thrust his sword. But the sword stopped a few centimeters before it touched Erend's neck.
Even so, Erend didn't budge and kept a straight face. Unlike the other soldiers who stared with wide eyes. Including Billy.
"Heh," Geralt snorted, then drew his sword back. "Cpl. Erend Drake. Can't you hear your superior talking?"
"I hear." Then as if struggling against something heavy in his mouth Erend added. "Sir."
"You," Geralt drew closer to Erend. "Poor and impudent soldier. You're being completely ignorant after the Republic has given shelter and food to your poor family."
"How can I act ignorant, sir? I fight every day to defend the wall while you-"
'BAAAGH!'
A punch landed on Erend's stomach before he could finish his sentence. Erend had taken that hit before. But now the blow didn't feel as painful as before.
"You dare answer back?" Geralt looked at Erend with bulging eyes.
Erend straightened up again. "Sorry, sir."
Billy just watched from the side. He warns his juniors not to do anything and assures them that everything will be fine.
The soldiers outside the walls did not have a real military education. They are only educated in the most basic things in the military world.
The important thing is that they can hold weapons and fight. It was enough to become a soldier for the Republic of Ascaria.
That is what causes their attitude towards their superiors to seem arbitrary.
Erend had no interest in joining the military. He was just doing it so his family could live better life within the walls. Like almost all of those recruits.
Geralt gritted his teeth. Even though he wanted to do it, he couldn't beat up these soldiers because the rules forbid it.
Geralt spat in front of Erend. "Get back to that disgusting bunker of yours."
Then he turned and walked away. Erend was silent and looked at him with a straight face. But in his heart, he wanted to pluck Geralt's head out of his neck and chew it and then spit it out again.
With his current strength, Erend was sure that it was an easy thing.
In the end, Erend could only sigh. And hope that opportunity will come one day.
"You good?" asked Billy who came to him.
"His punch is getting lighter," Erend replied with a small laugh.
Billy just nodded his head. "He is back."
When Erend turned around, the officer had returned with some papers.
Erend filled the documents up then they started loading the supply boxes into the truck.
John asked about what had just happened to Lt. Colibri. But Billy and Erend answered with the same thing. 'It's a normal routine.'
They returned to the bunker and arrived when it was dark. Erend and the others immediately unloaded supplies from the truck.
Everyone welcomed the arrival of the new food, weapons, and ammunition.
They celebrated the arrival of the new supply with happy laughter because that is a very rare thing.
But the celebration did not last long. The portal was wide open while they were having dinner.
The alarm rings loudly. The soldiers immediately ran from their dinner and prepared to fight.
The elf who came out from inside the Portal mounted a Unicorn and was fully armed. But they didn't look like they wanted to fight. The Elves straightened their spears instead of pointing them forward.
An Elf with white hair and the biggest build walked forward along with another Elf who looked older.
The older Elf did some sort of Magic, after he gave the signal that everything was ready, the long white-haired Elf started to speak.
"Good evening, Humans. My name is Aerchon. I didn't come here tonight to fight. Instead, I came to talk."
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Erend looked at the Elf man with furrowed eyes as he noticed a resemblance.
"What does this mean?" Billy mumbled in disbelief.
While they were muttering to each other, Lt. Boartusk decided to accept the proposal.
"This could be a trap, Lieutenant," Billy said next to him.
"Yes, I know. But maybe they do want to talk," replied Lt. Boartusk. "If there's even the slightest chance of reducing casualties, I'll take it!"
Billy could not dispute the lieutenant's decision.
"You and Drake come with me," Lt. Boartusk said. "The others, prepare to fire if you see us being attacked."
Erend and Billy came out of the trench along with Lt. Boartusk. They walked over to the group of elves.
Aerchon descended from his Unicorn. "Good evening, Representatives." The elf smiled. As if he really had good intentions.
