章節 9: Counter
Seeing everyone was coming near the stairs. I felt very incompetent in myself, nor could I fight, nor could I lead.

Thinking that I should, do something and behave like a leader, I processed the current situation. I understood that staying on the terrace was not an option as bullets from rifles were making big glaring holes in the railing.
"Let's go down"
Saying this I turned and went down. All the soldiers also followed.

The sporadic fire continued to hit the residential complex. But we all had entered the complex, so it didn't matter. But I was thankful that I choose a building with its staircase in the middle, otherwise, we would be stuck on the rooftop.
"Guys I know that we have not introduced ourselves, but I surely know, that I am no expert in war, so I will leave this battle to you guys, of course with the veterans commanding."
Hearing what I had to say, all the four veterans, looked more than relieved.
We had come to the second floor, at this time.
I went toward the middle lobby on the second floor, as the veterans followed, while the rest of the soldiers came pouring into the lobby.
I looked at the veterans and slowly said, " I am Phil, and do tell me how I could help you".
I knew that I was just a liability right now, and couldn't help them with anything related to fighting. All I could do was help summon them somethings, in my pitiful budget of SP, which even I clueless about.
"Sir, I am Lieutenant Cory Keith, platoon leader of 1st platoon, 1st, infantry division.", said one of the fourth veteran ranked officer.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. I will let the Staff Seargent Nick, and his assault squad be here with you and explain the situation. While I command of the rest of the team with staff sergeant Buttowski and Kyle. "
"Okay go ahead, lieutenant", This was I could say.
Hearing this three of them went back and started to take their men to lay simple defence. Only Staff Seargent Nicks was left standing here, with his team standing a little further away.
After a short pause, seeing Lieutenant Cory Keith, taking some men downstairs while the rest went to different apartments on the 2nd floor, I turned toward Nicks " Hello Nick."
"Sir", a short and concise answer.
"So why don't you tell me something about this platoon of yours." I was really curious about them, where were they from, what did they do before being summoned.
" Sir, you don't have to worry, these guys are nothing for us, it's just that we don't have the proper equipment with us, otherwise these guys would be dead by, now", just hearing him speak till hear made me embarrassed after all I was not able to even provide them with proper equipment.
" We are 1st infantry divisions, 1 platoon, that make us kind of elite in our division. You already met Lieutenant, the other two Staff Sergeants. Our platoon has four squads, led by us four respectively."
"The 1st squad is a coms squad and has 10 members, it is led by Lieutenant himself. The second squad is an assault squad and has 8 members, which is us. The third and fourth squads are a general army squad and have 9 soldiers each, led by Staff Sergeant Buttowski and kyle."
" So your squad is the assault squad?", I asked in fascination. But the second these words came out, I couldn't help but think that I destroyed my whatever was left of the image in their minds.
Hearing this, Nick slightly chuckled and sir, " Yes, sir".
I knew that I had lost my image, but I couldn't stop now, so I continued, " So what type of weapon did you used?"
" Ah, we used M16 rifles and M4 carbines."
"Okay let's see", I said as opened the system. The system 'magical' windows expanded in my vision, as I clicked the on the rifle card. I really wanted to continue studying every weapon here, but I knew that now was not the time. As I scrolled down, in the third row, there was an M16 rifle. It was priced 50 SP each, but now was not the time to think about this, so I clicked on the M16 rifle card. Again the summon screen was in front of me, a pop-up box appeared it had a box in which 1 was written. With two small boxes, one each on right and left having '+' and '-' sign.
Thinking of summoning 36 rifles, I clicked on the '+' button many times at once. Till thirteen there was no problem but after that, the '+' button went grey. I knew that was my SP limit, but still, I felt that I had wronged my soldier, as couldn't even provide all of them with proper gears.
Sighing I selected a place on the floor just in front of us and clicked summon.
Again it asked:
1) Summoning all units at once
2) Summoning one by one
3) Summoning in group
It was now that I understood the benefit of other options. If I had to summon these weapons, then I would need to go back to the terrace because the gun could only be summoned in horizontal length, the system was again shitting with me, but the other options were proving to be useful now.

I was telling 'sir', about our platoon, when he asked me about our weapons, then he said 'okay let's see', and then went silent. After 15 seconds, when I was going to ask him if something was the matter, he bends down, but what baffled me was that an M16 has appeared in front of his hand, He picked it up, and handed to me, by the time I took it from him a new M16 had appeared in the same spot.
Stunned me and my men were just watching him, as he bent and picked up the second M16. But this was not the end when he picked up the second one, a new M16 appeared in its place. I was too stunned to even take the second M16 from him. Luckily Evans stepped up from behind and took it.
I also woke up from my daze. But this was not the end, the man in front of us continued, till he made 13 M16s magically. Looking t these guns I didn't know what to say.

When I picked up the 13th rifle, I looked toward Nick " I can only summon, only these many weapons, right now. We will have to make do with these."
Nick and all his men were stunned when I summoned the gun but had recovered till now.
"You should pass some excess weapons to others, and prepare for a counter-attack because it's not my style to passively defend."
