<p>#1 『Fallen Land』</p>
<p><br />
Under the lead colored sky, grey ground which cannot be thaught any creatures
can live in.<br />
This huge deseart area called “Sea of Ash” is the ruin of the city group which
was extinct in world war,once upon a time.<br />
Corpses of skyscrapers ――that should be called symbol of glory in that time――
are projecting from ashes everywhere.</p>
<p>About three figures can be seen by the debris of ancient ship whose length
is about 20m.</p>
<p>“...1500 meters ahead, near the water tower. There are three tankettes , two
BMPs, and four... no , five BTRs. One Enhanced Mechanical Company, isn't
it?”</p>
<p>A soldier who is lying down under the camouflage net tweeted with
adjusting his night vision goggle.</p>
<p>“Rishek, Estimating enemy influence isn't our work. We only have to
report.”</p>
<p>A Corporal who was near the soldier said.<br />
Aparrels of them were similar to imperial soldiers , but there were not any
decorations such as epaulets and mantles.<br />
Sweating uniforms were dirty with sands and ashes.</p>
<p>A Private First Class called Rishek crawled out from camouflage net and left
from fill which he was using as a hiding.<br />
Taking out a box of cigarettes from trousers pocket and start smoking with
hiding fire with his hand.<br />
After reporting to Unit Information Center by his radio, the Corporal awaked a
WAC who was sleeping with holding her rifle.<br />
They had been observing that tract since eighteen hours ago, and finally found
a enemy group that backs up the information from ComI unit.</p>
<p><br />
“They must be stealers that are ransacking our territory.”</p>
<p>Corporal Darrell said with putting camouflage net and containers of ration
to his backpack.</p>
<p>“「Our territory」... But in fact, we have nothing to do with that, aren't
we?”</p>
<p>Rishek said that WAC named Refla after removing his goggle.</p>
<p>“They are waiting us 10km away.If we are too late, they will leave us
behind.”</p>
<p>Darrel said with silly.</p>
<p>“How terrible this job is...”</p>
<p>Refla tweeted. </p>
<p><br />
Crundult Empire Army 8 Division 2 Mechanical Recon Company.<br />
Now, this unit has been privatized by a rural nobility.<br />
And contains large by many mercenaries that are imperfect as majority.</p>
<p>This time, these three were moved to search enemies that are despoiling
excavation plant that are occupied by nobilities illegally.<br />
This is never a regular maneuver.<br />
Mercenaries were popular among nobilities as soldiers that are frxible and
disposable.</p>
<p>This three soldiers are quite different each other in terms of their
career.<br />
With Refla, she has not even an experience of Boot Camp.</p>
<p>Suddenly, a roar of guns pealed.<br />
And consecutive gunfires by machone gun follow that.</p>
<p>“Shit... What the hell?”</p>
<p>Rishek creeped to the fill he was using a somtime ago after loading night
vision goggle again.<br />
Staring the enemy's side, he breaked off.</p>
<p>“...Hey, are you okay?”</p>
<p>Darrell asked.</p>
<p>“What... What the fuck I'm watching?”</p>
<p>A Yagra BMP which is blowing up fire from cupola and some bodies of Arkilian
soldiers that scattered near that BMP were projected in magnified vision of
goggle.<br />
A Tankette Dacker's barrel of firing gun was pointing something hazy like human
figure.</p>
<p>That figure walked to Dacker in difiance of direct hits by 25mm shells, and
touched the aromour plate of that Tankette.<br />
Just then blood of crew blew up from all opening of the body, and Dacker
became silented.<br />
The thing turned around attended infantries, and they stoped their moving with
kneeling.</p>
<p>Despite their suffering, the thing looked at here ―― mercenares lying
down.<br />
It cannot be possible to find marcenaries in this distant, in addition to they
are only putting their heads from fill.<br />
In spite of that,the thing keeps glaring them.</p>
<p>“It can wait to report. We should run to rendezvous point right now.”</p>
<p>Darrell said with paling his face.<br />
Holding their rifles and backpacks, three mercenaries started running to
Southern West.</p>
<p><br />
It was six hours later the Attack An Craft named “Kalliope” which carries them
arrived at garrison.<br />
It is because, the pilot afraided at being seen by “that thing” three talks
about and fly very low altitude.</p>
<p>As soon as rusted landing gears of that craft touched down to surface of
hanger, some officers ran up to there.<br />
Mercenaries were exhousted and sat down after exiting from side entrance of
ship.</p>
<p>“What did you see, Ah!?”</p>
<p>A lieutenant pressed them, and asked loudly.<br />
But they are not garrulity enough to explain that miserable scene.<br />
Lieutenant keeps pressing.</p>
<p>“Report! Idlers!”</p>
<p>Mercenaries were surrounded by 2 squads of MPs before they knows.<br />
Lieutenant pressed the muzzle of his pistol to Refla's head who was looking
down.<br />
Rishek had lost control emotionally by fatigue and rage.<br />
Suddenly, he aimed his rifle to Lieutenant's chest.</p>
<p>“...What fuckin' are you doing, Private!?”</p>
<p>MPs got set their SMGs all together.<br />
Other mercenaries who were in Kalliope aimed tarrets to resist them.</p>
<p>“No more. Kill them all this fuckers...”</p>
<p>Just as lieutenant was about to order MPs, an officer dressed in inconnu
uniform striked him down.</p>
<p>Motioning MPs to break up, the officer kicked lieutenant's stomach who was
lying down on floor.<br />
Not moving in about 10 seconds, finally he got up and left the hanger after
saluting the officer.</p>
<p>Ignoring MPs who were running out there with scaring, the officer toworded
mercenaries.<br />
She was in dressed in black long coat and lace up boot.<br />
A badge of rank means captain was on her collar.</p>
<p>“I'll hear your report directly later. At first, you should take a
rest.”</p>
<p>Declaring so, she left the hanger.</p>
<p>“It does not make sense but... let's take a bath first.”</p>
<p>Darrell stood up, and undid his pistol belt.<br />
Rishek was staring at nothing with getting set his rifle.</p>
<p>“Hey, savage. Let's return.”</p>
<p>A mercenary who was aiming tarret of Attack Craft slaped Rishek on the
back.<br />
Refla went to woman's dormitory with pilot of craft at quick pace.</p>
<p><br />
Later, the officer does not show up until next noon.<br />
Being ordered to stand by in early morning, mercenaries were havin too much
time on their hands.</p>
<p>“Lieutenant Sachsen is from the Bartels House, isn't he?”</p>
<p>Lying on the up stairs of a bunk bed, Private Kai Hansen who is the tarret
gunner tweeted.</p>
<p>“I'm not interested in such a fuckin' thing.”</p>
<p>Rishek who was sleeping until now answered from below of bed.<br />
Darrell had not come back since he left for PX in 0800.</p>
<p>“Bartels House is owner of us, and manager of that excavation plant. Do you
understand?”</p>
<p>“You are meaning that, that fuckin' asshole knows that phantom?”</p>
<p>After about one minuite silence, Kai tweeted again.</p>
<p>“Well... Actually, It's not unusual that he shouts with his handgun.”</p>
<p>Listening Kai's voice, Rishek started putting on his combat boot.</p>
<p>Suddenly, the door of the room opened.</p>
<p>“That woman is coming. We should ready for her tentatively.”</p>
<p>As soon entering the room, Darell said so.</p>
<p>“...Woman? What are you talking about?”</p>
<p>Kai asked him dubiously.</p>
<p>“That Captain-like-bitch. On a closer look, she must be crazy.”</p>
<p>Again the door opened.<br />
That captain was standing on entrance.</p>
<p>“Well,sorry. I overslept.”</p>
<p>Noone recogmized yesterday, The voice of her was undoubtedly woman
voice.<br />
Seeing her face, mercenaries something odd about that even she had have regular
features.<br />
Tatoo was not on her face which must be got always Empire people's.<br />
And more than enything else, Rishek felt a mystery shiver about her.</p>
<p>“Are you okay? Don't worry. I won't bite you. Why don't you relax?”</p>
<p>Captain said.<br />
Before he knows, Rishek had been standing up and attentioning.<br />
Usually, he doesn't look up to higher.<br />
He watched that phantom with night vision goggle more clear than anyone else
who were there yesterday.<br />
He was feeling something similar to that phantom on this Captain.</p>
<p>“Anyway, you are too confused about your career.”</p>
<p>Captein said with comparing mercenaries' face and a document which she took
out from her coat's inner pocket.</p>
<p>“Drake Darrell. Ex-U.I.Waliunecle Navy Land Force. Alen Rishek. Ex-Military
Inteligeance of South Pannonia.”</p>
<p>Hearing a word of Waliunecle, Darrell made his face tense slightly.</p>
<p>“You are, well... Kai Hansen. Is pronunciation collect?”</p>
<p>“Yes, sir! That is collect, sir!“</p>
<p>Kai answered loudly.</p>
<p>“Don't be humble yourself. I don't belong to military...”</p>
<p>Suddenly, Captain's back of head blew out.<br />
Blood, brain, and pieces of skull were splashed on floor.<br />
About one second later, a sound of gun fire arrived at the room.</p>
<p>“Get down!”</p>
<p>When Darrell screamed, two mercenaries had already lied down on the
floor.<br />
Roars of soldiers sounded from corrider, out of room.</p>
<p>“They are coming from exit of east. And fuckin' sniper is on the mooring
tower.”</p>
<p>Darell said.<br />
It means that, they cannot move from this room.</p>
<p>“Where are our guns!?”</p>
<p>Rishek asked with angry.</p>
<p>“All is in the armory near the exit!”</p>
<p>Kai answered.</p>
<p>“Hey, doesn't that bitch have something useful?”</p>
<p>Darrell asked.<br />
Crawling to the body, Kai found something.</p>
<p>“Yeah! A large handgun is here.”</p>
<p>The pistol whose size is as large as SMG was in leg holster on Captain's
thigh.<br />
Kai touched grip of that, and screamed suddenly.<br />
Right hand of body grabbed his wrist.</p>
<p>Ignoring Kai who jumped aside, Captain got up and drew her pistol.<br />
And aiming to top of mooring tower which is at about 400m away from window, she
pulled the trigger.</p>
<p>Bulet flew out from muzzle without any loud sound, and only clank of slide
was emitted to room.<br />
Sniper found something approaching in his scope, but his brain was not so
accurately to avoid that.<br />
The Full Metal Jacketed bullet pierced the lens of scope, and broke his right
eye.<br />
Subsequently it took into his brain, and devasteted everything in that.</p>
<p>Exiting from room, captain began shooting to soldiers who were on their way
running from end of corrider.<br />
Everytime very long cartridge fly out from her pistol, bodies of soldiers
become ripped apart by that.<br />
They were not so applicational, and could not operate this situation.<br />
They cannot even counterfire.<br />
In a twinkling, the corrider became bloodbath.</p>
<p>A lucky soldier who was covered by bodies of colleague, succeeded to fire a
rifle-grenade.<br />
Toward an object which is approaching with drawing a paradola, Captain shot her
pistol.<br />
Without any distortion, the bullet broke the fuse of grenade.<br />
Explosed in air, piece of broken that made bodies of soldiers more
miserably.</p>
<p>Assailant became silented without even magazine change of Captain.<br />
She walked to a body which was the most near fo her, and shot its head more two
round excessively.</p>
<p>She found something trembling with fear on the floor.<br />
It was a tiny culca.<br />
She embraced that and stroked its head with a smile.</p>
<p>Mercenaries cannot do anything except for watching that strange scene.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>#2 『No Bullets Fly』</p>
<p><br />
The sun had already been setting into west horizon.</p>
<p>At an altitude of about 500 meters, a Light Cruiser Freja was moving over
the gentle hill country.<br />
There were no flags which must be fulltering, and also cannot see any crew on
its deck.</p>
<p>Mercenaries were in a cabin with a long desk which seems to be used for
briefing.<br />
Rishek was smoking near the window with watching twilight sky. <br />
Memories of rural distinct in South Pannonia crosses his mind.<br />
There are not any benefits in there since he came of age.<br />
But after the abnormal event these two days, he could not help adoring there
where is his root.</p>
<p>The door opened and a black-haired woman entered the cabin.<br />
Her coat which was dirty with blood and brain until a while ago is very clean
now.</p>
<p>“Sorry to have kept you waiting. My culca had diarrhea... ”</p>
<p>Saying such a negligible thing, she put a map bag on the desk.</p>
<p>“Just in case, I ask you again. Is it true that this six had returned from
3-4 area of Sea of Ash, isn't it?”</p>
<p>She looked toward Darrell who is the leader of this squad.</p>
<p>“Yes, sir. Most definitely.”</p>
<p>He answered.</p>
<p>“I see...”</p>
<p>She tweeted with taking out some documents from the map case.<br />
And she looked up by fits.</p>
<p>“I've not given my name. I am Elvira Jugn. Supposedly, my rank is
Captain.”</p>
<p>And looking mercenaries steadily, she said with smiling.</p>
<p>“Welcome to Gnogge.”</p>
<p><br />
Seven hours ago.<br />
Checking the culca stopped its shaking, she put that on the floor slowly.<br />
And she watched a body which she shot excessively a while ago.<br />
Seeing its epaulets, she frowned slightly.</p>
<p>“Well... this is unexpectable.”</p>
<p>She said to three mercenaries who were standing in amazement.</p>
<p>Mercenaries could not understand what is “unexpectable”.<br />
A woman who was blown up her brain just a two minutes ago is talking to us.<br />
Moreover, any vestiges of that bullet could not seen on her head.</p>
<p>Jugn said to them with rapidly.</p>
<p>“Our cruiser is coming this camp, but... we can't remain here now. Let's run
away.”</p>
<p>“Run away? ...But how can we do?”</p>
<p>Kai could not do anything anymore than confusing.</p>
<p>“I heard that your Attack Craft is fast.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p><br />
</p>
<p> </p>
