"did you really talk to her?" ask Anastagi
"i told you i did! Gusurg wasn't lied after all. 01 is stubborn" said Kurt
"what about the other lady? what's her number again?"
"13? well, she's not give me cold shoulder but somehow she shunned me"
"did she say something?"
"just good work out there. the usual"
Being in this squad who was assigned as a bunch of ragtag and misfit was a dead giveaway about how hard this can get. Among all squad unit, only Kurt who raise his hand for this kind of role. No one stop him. After all, he used to be leader of his squad back in regular army. On the other hand, there is rumor that every captain of this squad tend to die the moment they take the job.
"absurd right?"
Anastagi sigh "in prison we always lying about stuff but superstition? damn, this is childish"
"Kurt, mind if i interrupt?"
"Gusurg? yes, what is it?"
"we got a job...again"
Anastagi didn't take this well "man, can we at least have a drink first? i barely breathing after last battle!"
"i'm sorry but you know the drill of this squad" said Gusurg
"shit..."
"alright, Gusurg, call the ladies from last battle to join us. and if possible, try to ask someone else who interest in this fight"
"well...shit me to the bone. no chance huh?" mutter Anastagi
Once again, the previous squad didn't change in their strenght of number. But unlike before, this battle is in the forest, which mean no heavy armor will join the fight. It also apply to squad 422 however.
"we just sneak and focus on element of surprise. they got number but if we keep our head level, we can surprise them and possibly end this battle early" said Kurt
"how so?" ask Anastagi
"they got themselves in line. not bother to hide"
"should we throw a grenade and be done with it?"
Kurt shake his head "no. we run out remember? i ask the R&D but no luck in grenade supplies"
"guess we play quick and the dead then" said Gusurg who bring rifle since he can't bring tank here
The battlefield offer many cover from tree, bushes, tall grass and even some shade. Squad 422 uniform mostly dark in color so it's rather advantageous for their advance. The imperial soldier were march toward border and if left alone, they could sabotage route of logistic not far from there. Unfortunately most of regular army currently away on the northern bridge and the border of ashlone forest so no one other than militia or squad 422 themselves are the option left.
"damn! that 01 lady really steal the show!" said Anastagi
"he ain't called ace for nothing you know" said Gusurg
"say, that weapon of hers. is that her works?' ask Kurt
"it is. no engineer even R&D get to touch that thing. let alone repair or mod it"
"i hear Darcsen were creative when it come to the arms but...to see it myself. no wonder back in prison Darcsen always on constant watch" said Anastagi
"eh? what did they do?" ask Kurt
"making weapon. from plastic fork to needle gun. it's a wonder they never consider to make a key to escape" said Anastagi
It was easy win since 01 mowing the enemy mostly and giving distraction for other to handle the rest. Even so, they not get away without a hit. Kurt were in cover after some stray bullet hit his left chest, Gusurg took 3 bullet and covering, Anastagi too take a hit but going to cover after a bullet graze his face.
"man! they desperate or dead set? where's 13?" ask Anastagi
"in here. sorry they raining on me" said 13
"hey Kurt, i see some small tube on your belt. is that supposed to be grenade?" ask Gusurg
"no, it's smoke one. i fear we may cross fire each other so i save it in case we need to retreat" said Kurt
"hey what the hell you guys doing!? did you left the fight!?" shout 01
"we kinda sitting duck here. what about you!?"
"where you guys at!?"
"at the...what is this again? ah whatever. i'm near the question mark looking tree bark!"
"you mean X?"
"yeah the one near soldier using strange weapon than other. shoot it!" shout Anastagi
It only a moment before the ringing sound of gunfire cease to silent. Peeking out his head, Anastagi found them all dead. Meanwhile 01 assisting 13 to finish the job. Only after that the enemy decide to retreat even though their number are still enough to face squad 422.
"good lord...that was intense than in the prison. maybe because we can't fight hand-to-hand?" said Anastagi
"whatever it is, we lucky we got 01. it is sight to behold to see her in action" said Kurt
"yeah you better find a way to put a leash on her. else everybody at the base think you're more relying than reliable" said Gusurg
"right, we got our ass saved by that ace twice after all"
Back at the base...
"Gusurg do you know what kind of person 01 is?" ask Kurt
"her? not much"
"just say anything you know"
"well, for starter, she's more senior than me. it is said she join this squad almost year ago"
"you kidding?"
"i wish but that's the truth after i ask around. anyway, i don't know what she doing to be thrown here. also, she's not a military person in the first place which make thing more confusing. before you ask, i did ask her. and even though we both Darcsen, she treat me just like he treat you"
"does she has her own agenda? based from what you said, she didn't join any military rank, or even school. she also come clean which the only reason she's here is...on her own will" said Kurt
"yeah but for what? money?"
"did we even get that kind of luxury?" ask Kurt
"hate to say this Kurt, but some of us do join this place for that. anyway, i don't think our ace come here for some ducats"
"her weapon could weight a fortune though"
"speaking of fortune, where's 9999?"
"medic tent. should be discharged by now"
The former prisoner currently touring the base since he barely walk around thanks to twice battle in a row for the first day. He still feel the burning pain especially his face. He still think about the last battle could be easy if they had crowd control weapon such as grenade. It make him think does Gallia made this squad intentionally to be left for dead? by scarce the supplies or delay the order with addition dead sentence on their tail? If that scare anyone from raising their hand for taking role of captain, then Kurt must be eager to die then.
"come to think of it, i don't think that dude was in for a crime either...hm?"
Among passing by soldier he spot something that really sticking out than the other. APC with some decor and variety of weapon lined neatly. That thing isn't on R&D area and not to mention the color are different. It almost like that thing is like a shop. He check the place and it did felt like a shop. Most of the weapon there are unloaded however.
"welcome"
A melodic pleasant tone catch Anastagi off guard. There, he see the smile that he remember owned by a bald prisoner who happen to be both assasin and monk. But this one is etched on small woman with brown hair with regular Gallian military uniform.
"is there something i can help you with?"
"god...she's..." Anastagi clear his throat "no i just surprised see something sticking out. what are these?"
"oh, are you new? guess introduction was in order. i'm supplier from the regular army. you make order, i sent them to R&D back at the HQ and return with a result so your R&D can replicate it"
"is that how R&D work here?"
"any new weapon require special treatment for this squad you see. and of course a passerby can't buy them. you need captain permission"
"captain? shit, we don't have one"
"eh?"
"we lost them. the moment i join this squad, i told that he or she long kick the bucket"
The merchant sigh. but not sad sigh, almost like relief "guess i gonna miss his personal nagging"
"pretty sure she was kinda bit off a second..." think Anastagi "well anyway, i just looking around. maybe when we got a captain, we will talk again"
"in business yes?"
"yeah. see ya around..." said Anastagi before left "that voice maybe sweet but, man ain't she forceful on her tone?"
Another week pass and now they finally taken away from the joyful day to another job. There is a line of the enemy along with small tanks crossing the border once again. Thanks to that surprise the only squad who hold them off is just a militia. Since the Nameless squad are the closest in coordinate, they were ordered to take their load with a reason to minimized militia lost. While also to save face about letting civil facing a numerous well equipped Imperial.
This time around, Kurt isn't take the chance of going straight. Instead, he call everyone of this squad and ask them to join this fight. Of course all the treatment he get was the silence or doubt on the face.
"young man, i know you just escape death twice but i can't trust that kind of luck alone" said old woman with number 03
"do you even aware who our enemy is? they even bring not just one while we only have one. no chance man" said 21
"two shows and you think that gonna please me? you better say sorry because that won't gonna won the queen heart!" said 23
"what she said is not much different from 03. but i won't lie, you did start to pick my interest" said a chubby man with number 11
Anastagi whisper "Kurt, if at least we got another lancer other than ace, we could pull this off"
"that's what i think but we can't do that with our situation now. do you ever fire one?"
"i never throw a grenade in my life. let alone a lancer" mutter Anastagi
Then there's a group who raise their hands "hey, we won't mind join you but with a small catch"
"what is it?"
"i don't want to go with grim reaper. no question"
"grim what now?" ask Anastagi
"it's 13" whisper Kurt "remember what we talked about any captain always dead next second? it stemmed from her"
"the fuck? that blazing lady? Kurt you're not buying it right?"
"as if!" mutter Kurt before facing the group again "alright. but i also have one term too. i would put 13 out of the squad for this mission ONLY if you can find the person who run twice as fast, capture, and constant report about surrounding"
"what!? no such a person here!" shout one of the soldier
"isn't 11 fit the bill?" ask 24
"i'm flattered but since it's a running, it would hurt my pride and your wish" mutter 11
In the end, no one come around.
"umm...captain, it's alright you know. i won't mind discharged if it raise our chance to victory" said 13
"our main focus is to handle the tanks while also come to mind about distracting the foot unit from interfering the lancer. i seen your effort so far and i like it. change my mind, but i suggest you better not try" said Kurt
"but what about the mission?"
"since push come to shove, guess i take the lancer job" said Kurt
"you can? you not pulling act do you Kurt?" ask Anastagi
"no. last time i use lancer was back at academy" said Kurt
"oh how assuring" mutter Anastagi
And at the last second, another hand raise.
"dude, did you forget there's another hand?" said someone with number 32
"uhh did you?"
32 sigh "dude give us a slack. we want to say we gonna come with you. 24 and 45 decide they come along. and if you ask, my job is a lancer. but remember, i'm a chef before i'm a lancer"
"is that supposed to be...wait, chef!?" think Anastagi
"yeah, let me get the action. last time i want to join but everyone say funny thing about you so now, i want to see for myself are you really suicidal or not" said 24
"ain't she kinda bit jolly with that last word?"
"if it guarantee her join us...i let it slide" said Kurt
"..."
"...hey, is he okay? you look like ghost there" said Anastagi
"sorry. my cough just came in. anyway, i'm 45. if only my sickness didn't kick me at the wrong time, i would join you on the first mission"
"you sure you can handle this?" said Kurt
"i handle this sickness of mine as well as battle. i'm engineer but rather than engineer, i'm more to medic person"
"how ironic" mutter Anastagi "well Kurt, we got three people with us. might as well pull this off as clean as you could. else those three, especially her, gonna agree you just suicidal"
"is that a running joke of me now?" Kurt grumbled "as long they won't mind me bring 13 along though"
"ok, we gonna distract them and make sure to put any enemy lancer as priority. if either one of us losing anti-tank, we either at disadvantage or vice versa. so make sure to put them out"
"07 you sure about this?" ask 13
"about what? bring you along? i told you i'm okay with this. if i did see something off, i would either tell you or put you off duty. one thing you should know 13, i never mince words when it come to squad. any question?"
"no captain. carry on"
"good, i have faith in you"
"here it come. Kurt, your call" said Anastagi
"...NOW!"
First off, Kurt along with 13 escort 32 to the safe area to fire the lancer. Anastagi and 24 were to distract the enemy foot unit. 45 and Gusurg hold the ground to divert enemy tank attention. Unfortunately 01 didn't pay heed about the plan. Even so she know what she doing which still make Kurt unease. Switching between assault and lancer, 01 carry on as nothing could stop her. she end up taking both role as distraction and destroyer.
"man she kill us as whole in this mess" said Anastagi
"you don't say. at least she didn't mess up the frontline" said Kurt
"captain! something wrong!"
"what is it 13?"
"something being shot...but faintly heard..."
"can you clari-"
Kurt ear was ringing so loud that he didn't hear himself screaming. His radio picking up but he didn't heard a thing. The only thing he aware of is every ground blown off by blast. He tried to stand up but to no avail as the ringing in his head numb his sense. Lucky enough, 13 not far from him and take him away from the blast. The other however try their luck to move away while hoping nothing come at them.
"this is exciting but i don't want to die!" shout 24
"just run damn it!" shout Anastagi "Kurt! hey cap!"
"this is 13! captain is alright but he got knocked by the blast! we're safe for now!"
"negative! we need to move away! abandon mission! now!" said Kurt
"what? hey you know the risk right!?"
"i am. now move!"
It was hell. Blast everywhere, tank turn to scrap, soldiers flail and scattered. Nothing pretty about that friendly fire. This however bring so much question to the later group. Why? they were firing their own squad who about to cross the border. Things may not going easy on the paper. But as thing stand, Kurt and the squad were success in retreat and suffer minor injury. Even 01 armor look dent at some part. Anastagi also has his left ear bleed thanks to the blast.
In the medic tent...
"fuck. the hell is that man? is HQ mention about this?" ask Anastagi
"no. all we got is the imperial cross the border and there's militia under performed thanks to the equipment. that's all"
"still. i gotta say that 13 not so grim reaper. had she not heard that, we may already in the middle of it. she did miss the timing though"
"yeah. and i owe her too...damn. what on earth is going on here?"
"gotta report that. maybe HQ got some news about this too"
Two days later, Kurt is able to stand on his own and he hurriedly write the detail report to HQ about their enemy. Back in HQ, Commander of the 422 squad, Ramsey Crowe, frown when he receive that report. It seems he just accidently sent the pack to the wrong tree. He swear that he sent the letter to stop the oncoming supplies, not going to border and help some militia who apparently, a bunch of deserter meet their demise. Looks like someone twist his chain of command and he didn't like that.
"one, why would the regular care about militia? they always gave them two bits stare and treat them like a city guard and suddenly they want to save them? two, why always him?" mutter Crowe "but something good may come out if i appoint him in something important. maybe i could root that old bastard out too...he's the one who sent 07 in the first place after all..."
"Crowe!" Bark someone at the door
"come in. don't need to bark, that ain't tree you know"
And someone he despise finally stand before him.
"what the hell your squad doing!? they let the militia dead!"
"dead? well we're in war you know"
"how dare you! those are civil!"
"calm your guts General Isler, you make an ass up on your other ass. there is unforeseen event and i don't think it was their fault. it is said a mortar been shot and massacre anyone and that include a 'civil' that happen to be 'militia', or you said weeks ago as brigand deserter. now then, knowing they are criminal plus a dead bed waiting for them, do you think i gonna issue them arrest warrant? not likely, they have their own skin to save although i'm sure that valedictorian guy won't mind doing it"
"so you don't want to sent your squad to follow order!?"
"order!? listen there General, there's this logistic i want them to disrupt so the situation at the north bridge ain't feel so hot. but thanks to someone, my order seems to be sent to void and my squad end up at the wrong side of the hell, saving deserter who left military thanks to certain someone! and guess what? thanks to that order, we got pushed to square one again! and not just that, we also get credit in dirt at newspaper for letting deserter, covered as militia, to fight a whole battalion of imps! congrats! i'm pissed too!"
"your squad fault! not mine!"
"don't be a sore loser. we know who to turn to about this you know it too. beside..." Crowe stand up "our squad were not to be mentioned by any means General. if you try to expose them, i'm sure we got another thing coming. you know the rule of this squad right?"
"you better watch your back Crowe!" said General before leaving
"you also watch the backlash of media General. heard they more fierce than any wife you touch"
Back at the base...
"so our objective now is to takedown the mortar squad? it's simple alright but we talking hard to see weapon here" said Anastagi
"no were not completely clueless for this one. you see here? this is where they at. apparently they sneak very well until they fire that thing. the problem is...here" Kurt make circle on the map
"oh no...open field" mutter 13
"right. we need to take them out but the shortest route require us to go through here. alternative route exist but we may run the risk of same experience last time. we lucky come back one piece that time"
"so are you saying we gonna move onward just like that?" ask Gusurg
"yes and no. see there, a field of grass? we can take cover here. oh, we gonna launch this mission at night"
"hate to pop the idea Kurt but this symbol mean tower right?"
"yes. they probably had searchlight but if we sneak around these grass, they won't see us"
"there's no guarantee does it?" ask 13
"worth taking. but we need assistance..."
"who?
"..."
"01 you heard me?"
"you're annoying"
"well, i just talk to air then. i desperately need your talent on this. really i do. i don't know what you want but if it mean i can take you in my chain of command, i would pay anything. say, if you offer your service, i gave you any strength to catch your objective. info, army, or maybe equipment. name it"
"you really going that far?"
"sure enough you're not come here for some spare change"
"nonsense"
"i'm not. i may not impress you so far but i assure you i never make a promise i can't keep or jump into battle where i'm gonna lose"
"...the last one is true though..."
"yes and i know it won't be enough to convince you but please, just this once, follow my order. if not for me then for other. after this, you can take off as usual"
"...fine, but if you back off from the deal, know that i won't hesitate to pull this trigger even on you"
"you have my word 01"
