"Arrows!!!!!" The screams of Rias's voice were heard from the soldiers' barracks where at this time due to time running out, Rias started to train the archer army that she would lead to the arena where they would risk their lives.
" Shooosh..." Dozens of arrows simultaneously shot from the archers' bows.
In an instant dozens of arrows directly pierced the target that has been determined as far as 100 M.
"Shoot again...!! Rias orders.
"Shoohs...shoosh..." This time the arrows were released again but not in the same position, where some arrows seemed too late to be fired.
" Stop!!!" Rias's loud voice interrupted the archery soldiers who were practicing.
Staring at Rias's face which was filled with dissatisfaction, the soldiers immediately realized that this time they would definitely receive bad things, due to the carelessness of some of them who were late in releasing arrows simultaneously in the third round of their archery.
Coming towards them, Rias who was full of dissatisfaction immediately said, "What's wrong with you guys!!!! Only 3 rounds of shooting arrows, but there's still a lot left!!!
Explain to me, what do you mean!!!! Rias snapped very seriously, and the archer soldiers who received a strong reprimand from Rias were quite surprised by what they were facing right now.
Because in the usual time Rias was training them, they had never seen such a severe expression from Rias when they made a mistake, so then at this moment they felt something was wrong, it's just that they didn't know what to answer.
"Why are you silent!!!? Talk!!!" Still screaming loudly Rias looked at the dozens of archers standing in front of her one by one.
Still not receiving a response then Rias said again.
"Ohhh...good....you guys are already brave!!!" This time, Rias seemed to be preparing to issue a punishment order.
On the other hand the archers who saw Rias's expression became afraid hearing that they would be punished.
"Captain....wait...wait...captain" one of the soldiers stepped forward trying to represent the others.
He was trying to persuade Rias not to give punishment to them.
"What??? What are you going to say???" Rias replied to the soldier.
"Ahhh....this is captain...this!!!" Not knowing what to say, on the one hand he was confused and scared so in the end he just didn't know what to say to Rias.
"Haaa...you're back!!" Rias snorted in annoyance letting the soldier return to his lines.
"Do you know what our mission is tomorrow???" Rias asked out loud.
"Shakes head" as a sign they don't know.
"Tomorrow we will go to war!!!" Rias answered.
"Ahhhhh" screams could be heard from the soldiers present, they never thought that Rias would drop such a great surprise on them.
"Captain, did we just win the war?" asked a soldier.
"That's right captain, why do you look so scared" the others shouted.
"With a strong enough fort, we should be able to defend well" the others joined in.
"Do you know where the war we will face????" Rias sneered at them.
"For a moment everything was silent" like in response to what Rias said, they didn't know where they would be fighting and who the enemy would be with.
Seeing that they were all silent, Rias then said again.
"Tomorrow we will fight in the special arena!!!
As for our opponents of all races, in this case there would be orches, dwarves, demons, demi humans, elves, angels, or even humans too!!!
Not to mention that only 100 soldiers can participate!!!
If we win we are saved but if we lose we die!!!" Rias's voice was loud and immediately resounded in every ear of the archer soldiers.
They suddenly became shocked and surprised too, they only thought that in the end they would fight on their island, and in defensive mode, but the cruel reality was that they would fight in a place they didn't know about.
Moreover hearing from their captain Rias' explanation that there would be other Races they might have to face.
Hearing this they were quite scared, because remembering the last war they had to survive the attacks of the orches these warriors understood the ferocity of other races, not to mention that currently they were outnumbered and able to survive due to careful preparations and support from the strongholds and civilians who help them fight.
Until in the end they can win the war, they are very happy.
However, this time it was clear that something different was happening, where they had to face an unknown enemy in a foreign place.
" So how, are you guys scared!!!" Rias exclaimed again.
" If you are afraid, then practice seriously!!! Don't make small mistakes like earlier, because in war the small mistakes you make will cause devastating chain effects, and just remember if you are careless your friends' lives will die, or worse it's sad that you guys died first, so here I'm going to say again.... bring out all of your abilities!!!! Don't make trivial mistakes like that!!!!! .
" Ok, take a 10 minute break, and the training will continue after the break is over" Rias dismissed the soldiers to rest for a while, she was really upset inside her heart, she felt very scared and also disappointed by what the archer troop she led was doing.
How could he save or protect Danis, if his soldiers couldn't properly understand the war instructions he commanded.
This could be said to be something fatal, where she didn't want that to happen, not to mention there was a feeling of anxiety when Rias had to imagine Danis in a life-threatening situation.
######
In a different place, today something similar is happening.
Maximus is also doing training for the sword troops he will lead, it's just that the place is different, not in the barracks but in the middle of the forest where he asks his troops to carry out a war simulation in the forest.
He who directed his men had an idea, where swordsmen as melee troops must have agility and also flexibility wherever they are, and one of them is in the forest.
Where Medan is full of trees and shrubs, is very suitable for ambushes as well as defense, so that in this case it makes them sword warriors, have a wider and more open insight.
Up in the tree, Maximus was looking at the two sword troops currently fighting, they were divided into two teams by Maximus with one team wearing red armbands and one team wearing blue armbands.
Currently amidst the thick forest, the sound of swords rang out along with the screams of the soldiers fighting.
Even though it is a simulation, Maximus still makes everything real, where the swords used by these soldiers are not wooden swords, but are still swords made of iron with blunt blades.
This was used to maintain the authenticity of the practice that was currently underway," clank...clacnk...the sound of clashing swords rang out in the quiet forest.
"Quickly take a position!!!!.....don't let them succeed in ambushing!!!" Ordered a team leader to his men, this time they use blue arms tasked with blocking ambush attacks carried out by troops with red arms.
" Ha...nonsense!!! This time you all have to die!!!" The leader of the red team shouted, leading his team to continue pushing into the blue ranks, with the aim of defeating them.
After a while.
"The leader is not good, the right wing troops have been killed and the left wing troops have also been surrounded" a soldier from a member of the blue legion reports to his master.
" Ha...damn!!! What's with them being so easy to beat!!! He groaned angrily.
"Quickly withdraw the remaining troops, we will retreat" ordered the master.
"Okay chief...retreat.....retreat!!!" shouted the soldier, only then the sound of fast footsteps coming towards them was heard.
"Not good, run chief!!" Exclaimed the soldier it's just a pity, the reminder is too late.
"Where are you guys going!!!...
"Quickly surrender you are surrounded!!!" The red team leader orders dozens of soldiers to surround the 5 members of the blue team.
"Give up???? Don't dream you guys!!!! We'd better die than have to give up!!! "Angrily the leader of the blue team replied.
"Ohhhh... you still don't know who you are, even though you're clearly cornered but you're still annoying!!! Then go ahead and finish them all!!!" The red team leader ordered.
"Ok ok...quite stopping...time for evaluation...! Maximus' shout was heard and instantly both teams ended their simulation.
Outside the forest, in an open area near a river, Maximus looked at the two teams that had been fighting.
"Evaluation of the results of the battle that occurred, the red team won and the blue team lost" Maximus' voice made a decision heard between the two teams, suddenly this made the soldiers from the red team happy.
"Hahaha...we did it!!!!" Shouts of victory in unison from the red team were heard, on the other hand the blue team bowed their heads in shame because they lost.
"Okay shut up, now the results of the evaluation....
For the red team, the ambush strategy with the formation of crab claws was carried out well.
On the other hand, the element of surprise from behind also plays a role in giving surprises and fatal blows to the other team.
But even so the sloppiness in communication can be seen as the most visible weak point, for that to solve the problem of communication between troops, the rest is minor and safe.
Meanwhile for the blue team, you are conservative in the defensive strategy, where you as the team being attacked are slow in making decisions and causing the defensive formation to collapse.
Rest one hour, and we will move to another place" Maximus finished his evaluation.
