《Is this some kind of joke, God?》Expedition | 4
Advertisement
I watch the village disappeared behind the horizon, we were a good distance away from it. Well, soldiers within half-truck started chatting a bit. Finally, the quiet was annoying.
"Do you guys think they'll chase us?"
"Possibly, Leutnant basically admitted to them that we're an army."
"Hm."
"I liked the name, "The Empire", it represents Germany good!", he smiles.
"I think it's too generic.", one of them adds.
"Well, we can't change it now."
"What's done is done.", one of the soldiers said while looking at the sky.
It's weird to listen to talks between my men not knowing their names. I guess that's one of many reasons why ranks exist, you can just call them by the rank instead of name. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter. We've been driving for another five minutes, the road was moodier and moodier, the damn mood was everywhere. So I decided that we leave the half-truck hidden in some trees, I was a little worried we would stuck in that damn mud, it almost looked like we've entered a swamp form the amount of mud there was.
"Out of the half-truck, hide it in the tree line. We're marching out in 5 minutes!", I said.
Soldiers did just that, they hid the half-truck in the tree line.
"Leutnant, we've hid the half-truck as per your order.", one of the soldiers reported to me.
"Good, we're moving out in T-minus 3 minutes."
"Roger."
I took out a notepad, and quickly drew the way we've come and what I can see from that position. It wasn't a good map, and it wasn't detailed, but it was good enough for me to not get lost in the area. I could her some soldiers talk just before we moved out.
"This place has a lot of mud. Good we didn't bring any tanks."
"Yeah, they would stuck here for sure, and it would be pain getting them out."
"We're moving out!", I shouted.
"Well, guess we'll talk later."
I hid my hand made map, and waited for men to get their stuff. We're created two-column line behind me, each counting 5 soldiers. The hunting begun. We've encountered many slimes. I wouldn't be surprised if we've killed over 1000 of them. I got a decent level boost as well. The whole day we've spend on doing just that, killing slimes for me to get stronger. Ammunition wasn't a problem, for some unknown to me reason it just regenerated over and over while using it up. You still had to pick up magazine and put it in the gun to reload thought, it just regenerated it in out ammunition pockets. After whole day of it, we've came back to our hidden half-truck, it was still there, well it would be hard for people that think this is a horse to drive it I guess.

I've spend the points evenly, form the level ups I got 80, 20 each.
"I suppose I can summon much more troops now."

All of the information will be provided. Additionally, user will have to level up in order to summon more troops, user will start at level 1, with first officer rank of the army user chooses. Summoned entities will call user by that rank.
Holy shit, it seemed like each level the amount just doubles, this is insane, this is basically a cheat! We can basically be a Millitary state at this point! I only have 10 people with me because it fitted into the half truck, but I needed more support than that, I have no idea what will await us while coming back thru that village. I'll summon 3 additional half-truck and 30 men to be safe on coming back, moreover I'll summon a one Tiger 1 tank with crew.
After a moment a big portal appeared, they drove thru portal to us and saluted me.
"Hello Leutnant!", the tank commander shouted.
"Welcome on our small trip, commander. Glad to have you!", I shouted back.
I've welcomed men from half-truck as well. I told the tank to be in the from of our convoy, so 4 half-track would be behind it. I moved to the tank and placed myself into the hatch next to commander, and I've summoned additional one soldier to fill blank in my half-truck. I quickly told the tank commander about our situation and showed him my hand made map. He analized it and nodded.
"We'll be wary of the enemy.", tank commander said.
On radio tank commander said. "Attention to all convoy units, have your eyes opened and be wary of the enemy on the edges of forests and pits. Be wary of buildings in the urban area as well.", I forgot that radios existed in World War 2.

We've traveled like before ~30 Km/h, with steady convoy structure. After some time, we were again at the Village. This time there were way more soldiers.
"You there, stop!", one of them shouts.
"Is there a problem?", I ask.
.
.
"No response..."
"So you're the guys that my boys told me about.", a fat, rich looking guy appeared from the crowd of the guards.
"Sons of bitches..."
"Is there a problem?", I asked again.
The guy looked mad, his face started getting red.
"PROBLEM? YOU TRESPASS INTO MY TERITORRY AND ASK IF THERE'S A PROBLEM?", he stomps with his foot.
"Trespass? I didn't knew we cannot travel thru village.", I responded.
"YOU DIDN'T KNEW? WHAT YOU WERE BORN YESTERDAY?", I mean..... almost.
"Look, I don't want any tro-"
"YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INRESPONSIBBLE ACTIONS, GUARDS DETAIN THOSE BASTARDS.", he shouts an order.
I took tank commander radio, "To all units, this is Leutnant, mark the soldiers as Feinds, as soon as they get close to you, DO NOT allow them to capture you!", I cannot allow my people to get detain by those guys.
They I shouted, "For the sakes of your life step back, we will shoot if you come close!"
"YOU DARE TO THREATEN US? DETAIN THEM WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! If they resist... you may kill them", he smirks. That bitch, I'll remember that. They came closer and closer, it's valid to assume these are definitely hostiles, right? They already want us dead.
"To all members of the convoy, open fire on the soldiers in armor." , The hell let loose, all of my soldiers started slaughtering the guards, kars98k, mgs, and a 88 millimeter tank gun fired, a tank shell hit and lots of soldiers died, I suppose that was HE shell, like from the games. I ordered the convoy to start moving, at that moment tank and half-track ran over the bodies of dead guards, you could hear their bones be squished and broken into million pieces. This was a horrible sight, a truly massacred human body... and the smell of death. It could not be described into words, the weird felling I've felt, but they were hostiles.... it's me or them.... yet I still feel weird, I ordered to kill them, I killed a lot of people today. We've got far from village, you could still smell the death smell left on tracks by the bodies, the tank commander had to see that I was lost in thought, and how troubled I was, because he was looking at me for solid minute.
+92 EXP +62 EXP +76 EXP +53 EXP +25 EXP
"EXP, even from humans.", I thought.
"Leutnant.", he still looks at me.
"Y-yes? Commander?"
"You did the right thing.", he says, with a serious look at his face.
"Did I now....?"
"Yes, it was us or them, every officer would do the same as you did.", he assures me
After some time, I could see our base, the soldiers at checkpoint already have opened the gate, I could see snipers at the top, the Machine guns in their place. I guess killing humans is never easy, and it will leave some mental mark on me. I had to do it for my soldiers, it would be way worse if someone of my people would be killed, stay strong. We've entered the base, and I told the expedition crew to rest. I've entered the HQ building I could see Heintz looking at me.
"What happen Leutnant?"
"N-nothing, what's the status of our base, any intruders?", I guess he could see my state.
"No intruders, we've only killed some slimes that were close enough."
"Okay, I can respawn many more people now, so expect more work."
"Understood."
I went to my room, and layed on my bed.
"Tomorrow will be a lot of work..."

8 98Blood and Gold
Having failed to manifest any attunements on the Testing day, Elias is disowned and cast out from his clan, the royal clan of the Holstein kingdom. Unwilling to stay down and to accept the clan's view of unattuned individuals having no power, Elias seeks to grasp onto and change his fate. If he can't move mountains with his fist, can't he at least move mountains of gold? Elias would show his clan and the world that even an unattuned individual is worthy of respect, even that given to the strongest. This is his journey. Darius proved his mettle and showed everyone his potential when he attuned to both the aspects of fire, the royal element, and blood. With a fast-track to general all but guaranteed, the only thing he could have hoped for was for his twin, his dearest brother, to join him by his side. Unfortunately, Elias tested as unattuned, the level that was reserved for weaklings that deserved to be cast out and trampled. Or at least, that's what the clan says. If his brother couldn't hit with the strength of a legend, didn't he just have to hit twice as hard to compensate? Darius would show the weaklings around him just what the apex of diligence and talent looked like. This is also his journey.

8 193Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.
