Unnamed Memory

The first report of the battle was brought to the base about two hours before dawn.

Moreover, the base, where the first level of alert had been laid by sentries for half an hour before that, enters the scheduled interception with the hasty movement.

Upon hearing that a rebel manned unit had entered the northeastern underground passage, which was not large enough for the drone to enter, Alphas was nervous and exalted.

Immediately, as expected, a dispatch order is issued to the corridor, and he leads the troops to start moving underground.

From Radhik's methods of warfare so far, manned troops are likely to come after the communications system first. And then he comes out to disable the operator. Alphas therefore proceeded with his troops by choosing a route connecting Teito's third communications base to the Northeast Waterway, which is also underground. The rebels are jamming surveillance camera lines, which means they go after them while putting a small sentry ahead of them.

Sentinels, half of which are manual controls, are not very useful on the field of battle in the open, but make sufficient sense in places full of such passages. A soldier with athletic skills, who belonged only to two Alphas troops, moved a sentry transmitting the ceiling while checking the map of the underground passage on a small terminal. Listening to that report, Alphas instructs the troops on the speed of progress.

Fast moving. But even though the movement was the same as usual, the air that could get in was different.

Alphas makes me want to laugh bitterly at the signs of soldiers who really make me gaze at whether it's right to fight the rebels.

They seemed to want a grasp of the truth and action based on it, while trying to behave as usual, but somewhere.

Alphas breathes, feeling a silent question on his back that he can't even say he wants to.

If he, as commander, also has strong trust from his men, says to his men, "Let's do this," they may be relieved by it.

But in this case, Alphas himself is still inconclusive.

As much as he wants advice on what the hell to do. Alphas evoked the voice of a woman familiar with her ears.

She said she wouldn't get involved anymore until we settled.

Is that because she is not a person?

He makes the war between those she evoked current and thinks its significance.

Unprecedented rebellion has so far resulted in fewer casualties, contrary to its size and speed.

That would be because when the battle begins, few surrender before fighting within the Imperial Army, or fall back on Radik's side.

And more than that, Radhik had skillfully used manned units in every fight to hold the manipulators in blood, and none of the drone fights had clashed between manned units so far.

This will be the first battle between people. Perhaps this result will be engraved in history, whichever wins.

Alphas was nervous and repellent about it, but was driven by the urge to compete with Radhik just a little bit.

Combat between the Imperial Army. Fighting a former companion also conceives the taboo temptation to win or lose in action with an acquaintance.

The Alphas lagged behind the inexplicable thought of how far their command was compared to the man who overturned the defeat once decided, the man even said to be a hero.

He asks for the next report to change the route to proceed. One of the more than one moving sentry detected an unregistered sentry.

This would definitely be something the other party is moving. Alphas ordered the soldiers to move the sentry.

"Retract that sentry. See how the sentry over there reacts. Have you noticed the other side?

"Probably not yet discovered angularly"

"Then keep taking positions where they won't find us for another five minutes."

This order may be harsh on a normal operator, but the soldier at the time has also been with Alphas for a long time and is accustomed to his commands and orders. He nodded back to his men, acknowledging with a confident look. Look down at the short machine gun in your hand and spread the map in your head.

Normally, the sentry will advance the marching route, so normally, the enemy's manned units will follow the sentry.

Alphas knew, however, that Radhik had used precisely that common sense to use the sentry several times before.

From as far as he can move the sentry, he sets out another route to the communications base and points his troops there.

Radhik, who has repeatedly avoided fighting between manned units and aimed at the manipulator units, stepped on to say that this time as well.

During the designated quintile, Alphas grasps the surrounding conditions through the sentry. And when he made his guess strong, he commanded the soldier again.

"We're ahead of this route. Retreat the sentry. So, the sentries earlier deliberately let them discover over there."

"Yes, sir."

If this hadn't taken Alphas' reading off, the situation would have been more than five minutes in advance.

At least the opponent doesn't know the enemy is approaching the same route. As a precaution, Alphas prepared the other route's sentry for encounter.

A primitive encounter that relies solely on the human five senses. But the advantages are also different from those we know we will encounter and those we do not. He conveyed that to the troops from a cold point of view.

To Alphas, who commands ahead of the line, unlike during normal operations, they continue to recognize the unusual.

Looking back lightly at those men - he was also attacked by strays.

Can we really fight like this? Can I hit Radik's army trying to avoid interpersonal combat with my own troops?

Because of the patrol, the pace of progress slowed slightly, and the men next door gave a strange look.

"Commander?"

"... no"

If all is truly true Tinasha is right, then we will be danced to follow the will of God who is never there.

When Alphas glanced at the bitterness, he gently tongued and stopped his legs as they were.

"After all, that man didn't trust your information."

Simple main management placed in the northeastern basement of Teito. Radik, in command of his own army divided into two parts from there, spoke to Tinasha, who was sitting behind him.

The woman answers with a frightened face.

"I don't normally trust you...... That's obviously suspicious."

"You're not trusted, you."

"Please don't say it again in a subtle and unpleasant way. It's true."

The plain looking woman wore a white dress to accompany her body today. Clothes embroidered with silver thread with strange tattoos everywhere. In another continent far away, they say magic clothes. Radik doesn't know what that means.

He looked back at the woman equipped only with a dagger and laughed sarcastically.

"So, what are you gonna do if I kill that guy?

"I can't kill you, so I won't do anything."

"That's a lot of confidence. People die of boredom, don't they?

Again teasing, but Tinasha is just faceless and silent.

The man was killed by Xing and turned to the monitor on the command table. After a few seconds, an abominable roar leaks out of his mouth.

Tinasha asked intrigued while wearing her arms.

"What's wrong?

"... trapped manned troops"

A manned unit that had taken the sentry and allowed it to bypass another route.

It seems that the unit had been identified at some point in the march path, and the passage ahead of it was blown up and rendered impassable.

And it wasn't just that, he said, the exit was equally bombed.

Radhik gives a bitter look at the location of the troops that appear to have been trapped between the two collapsed locations.

frustration caused by the backing. The woman's voice chilled the feeling of boiling blood.

"So, what do you do? Do you leave the Rangers there?

The passage with the trapped troops is too thick to escape with the explosives in hand. To Tinasha, who knows and asks, Radhik makes a quick decision when he regains his calm.

"No, let the drone turn. It's a hassle to repair the passage later, but let me pave the way.

Send another unit to the communications base. - And then it's up to the citizens. "

"Really?"

When she breathed softly, she leaned against a nearby wall. Watch a monitor with narrowed black eyes that keeps reporting in.

Alphas, who avoided clashes with the rebels and sealed the passage in the form of a blast, lowered his troops until between third communication bases when he told the main army about it.

You better intercept Radik's rescue, capture the trapped manned units, and leave that execution to the drones. Face it from the front, humans can't fathom drones first.

That is why the commander of the manned unit is required to have an eye to identify the war situation, but Alphas' unit seemed more relieved by itself that it could have avoided the clashes than it trusted him.

With the anxiety he appears to be there, he again finds the situation unpleasant. While traveling down the aisle, Alphas asked his men, who run beside him in a whisper.

"Do you think Lord Radik is more right?

Disintegration of common consciousness over the Keys. Threw out in that vortex, they crossed a bewildered gaze for a moment.

The man under his command laughs bitterly with his awkward eyes down.

"I don't know. I wish someone could tell me the right answer."

"... Indeed"

Everyone even feels lost.

They were put on the board of the game, they went right and left, and they had no idea where to go.

Should we abolish the emperor and remove all falsehood, as Radik is about to exchange? Does that clean everything up?

I think Alphas is ahead of the mission presented to him.

However, it is known that a single officer can do it.

Even if you betray the Emperor, you cannot involve your own troops in it.

Alphas intended his actions only to try to contain human damage as best he could for now.

Retreat to the third communications base, which is still out of the reach of the enemy - but he hears headache news there.

"Citizens beeped up?

"It seems so. A wave of people in tune with Lord Radik is pushing against the palace or something......

Thanks to this, both armies are no longer able to move drones. "

Alphas looked up to the ceiling of the underground passage, as if it were the telecommuter's troubled voice.

A few floors from the basement where I am now is the surface above. Imagine the confusion that was going on there, and he rambled up his forehead.
