Human government is the only one who has the rights to use naval, or battleships. However, the military under the USA is acting on its own personal interest without the government's knowledge, or so many thoughts.
If they think about it, these ships are very private as they cause chaos in the human countries—mostly the Naval Ship: Destroyer. That ship is equipped with guns, missiles and rockets that can shoot from a far distance.
The military can use those equipment with or without the government consent. The Military can do much as that, so it should be obvious that they have taken the ship without that permission.
If that's the case, their boss might be someone in the position of admiral. "But how though?" Cassandra asked.
"They can use the destroyer by deceiving the government or stealing it from the army's cabin."
Cassandra shook her head. "No, I mean, how can they act upon or without the authorization of the government? I believe the destroyer is a highly classified naval battleship—one that shouldn't be used when not going to war, if the government is really not involved then they couldn't shoot a rocket or missiles, they aren't a private institution, they are working for the USA."
She didn't realize that, since she had seen the information so she underestimated the information from conspiracy theories. Unlike how she knew it, this might sound like a case without evidence, however, she needs to consider the facts that are hiding in front of them.
"It's highly possible," Doris said beside Cassandra. "We don't have a bad reputation with the countries but our existence might be too much for them. Considering that they are advancing from the digital era to where they are now, they must think of us as a hindrance or something they can't control."
So they are telling her that it's highly possible for the USA to conduct that order without them knowing about it. Lyrica also guessed that right, they can do anything when it comes to one enemy, with this many soldiers—she's sure not half of them serve the USA, they can gather allies from the union, these enemies are just what it looks when it comes to a full scale attack.
But this is just a small attack. They can stop it by stopping the one pushing the buttons—demon on loose.
"Let's also assume the demon's possession that just happened, shall we?" Valerie asks.
The others nodded. "We need to prioritize the mission—kill the demon, send back the humans to avoid unnecessary killing. Valkyries can be repaired but humans can't, as such is why our priority is to make sure there is less casualty."
She looked at them. "Both us and the humans, understand?"
They all saluted. "Understood!"
---⌜•••⌟---
It was a brief planning but they did so to ensure the success of the plan. Lyrica will be their eyes, Cassandra and Valerie will be the one to attack the boss, the others will defend them but while they are hiding.
They need to reduce casualties by avoiding any contacts with humans unrelated to demons. There are few possessions here but some of them had possessed higher ranked soldiers.
"Wait, stop, someone's sensing Gloria's signal, deactivate it!" Lyrica warned and they looked at Gloria who nodded.
Once everything settled, they all went silent, hiding beside a wall. The others looked at each other and nodded—understanding what the other person said, Valerie did so with Cassandra.
They cannot talk, neither move, so they all talk using their eyes and facial expression to say or tell what they have to say. Leaving them in a complete stealth mode, the others cannot use any transmitter that isn't connected to Lyrica's server.
That means anything not connected to her can be detected through the enemy lines or radar .
The enemies left the area without knowing the presence of Valerie's squad. Unlike humans who have gathered a hundred of allies, the Valkyrie have sent hundreds on different missions and cases around the human realm.
It's usual that there are fewer left to defend this base, others went on a mission while others are still in the process of recovery. The enemies must have thought that since most of them are gone, the base is vulnerable to attack.
They were confident in winning this battle that the results were very clear. Despite the disadvantages, the Valkyrie is a product of metal and is a mechanical robot, they have been trained, destroyed, fixed, lost their mechanical body parts and almost didn't make it through.
That's the big difference to a normal human who's incapable of doing what a mechanical robot can do. With the size of their army, they thought the disadvantages were low, but what they knew is that quality is better than quantity in many cases.
The destroyer, for example—has a long distance artillery on their backs, with those strong forces, they were able to blow up the entrance of the island but the island didn't do anything, they've thought of using the same artillery—long distance missiles.
Destroyer won't sink that easily, it has a durability to surpass any attacks, one missile can't sink that ship but as many as it can—that's a different story.
To enter the destroyer, they must bypass the divided groups that are protecting the entrance to the ship. Valerie looked back and breathed it. "It's well guarded," she whispers.
"Can we just use that tactic?" ask Gloria.
They all look at her. "So, what will we do now?"
"I have a plan but I'll need your consent," Valarie said while tilting her chin.
"You have our word."
She nodded and opened the map which appeared on the air. She then used her mind to manipulate the map where the destroyer had been located. Then she put red and blue dots on each of the enemies and allies.
"See this, I'm putting red dots for enemies and blue for allies. As you can see, the place where the ship is located was well guarded by different and divided teams. Our top priority is to kill the demon's, erase humanity's memory regardless of the demon's and reduce damage to humans and us."
She gulped. "So, I think we know what to do," she pointed at one of the red dots. "We also divide our teams, one for diversion, one for protection and one for an attack. We need deception in this battle, I need this team to take all of their attention out of the ship, make sure they all follow you, the other protects the back of the attacker and the attacker will complete her objection."
This simple formation is called "stole the enemies time" and given by the percentage of success, the Valkyrie accepted the plan and all nodded.
Valerie gives a long glare. "Give us as much time as you can to make sure they won't suspect anything."
She looks at the deception team leader's eye. "The protector's job will be silencing the enemies—I mean, make sure they won't shoot a bullet, or make a noise that might alarm the enemies. Like an ambush, it should be eliminated, right?"
Then she looked at the other person. "We attack at their blind sight," she said. "Once the enemy's attention gets diverse from the fleet ship, we will proceed with exterminating the soldiers that are in the way. You must keep the others busy as much as possible, use means necessary—then do it swiftly and efficiently."
"Will do!"
She nodded and breathed out. "I'll give a signal when we find the right time to commence our plan, so don't do anything reckless, Lyrica will be monitoring the sight, once the signal has been diverse, it is time for us to make our move."
"Roger!"

They waited—the clock tickled, it was something to do with the altar below, a young man stood at the circle of the altar with his hands across his chest. Another one was writing on the altar with his hand.
"I didn't sign up for this, Ares."
The older man looks at the young man, and he smiles. "Should you have taken this lightly, I won't throw you back in, Lukas."
He glared and smirked. "I was on a difficult quest, I would go there if I was finished! What the hell do you mean take this lightly!?"
Ares smiles mockingly. He never would make Lukas this pissed off if he just said he would go, now he's here throwing him in the Human Realm. It's hard to say this since Caleb couldn't make it, he asked Ares to go there or make Lukas go perhaps.
"You can finish your quest later on, I'll vouch for that but for now, you must go back and help those girls. Demon's are trying to evolve again, we must eradicate them before they take over the Human Realm."
"Tsk!" He mumbled and breathed out. "I am not a gentleman to save a damsel in distress, and they have Valerie there for Peter's sake!"
That's true but even Valerie couldn't control her Aria, even if she can manage well with Espers power. There are different types of demon's, the one who fights heads on and the one who goes into hiding or possessing anyone. The Espers power is stronger enough to stop a demon, but it also has its flaws.
Valerie is unstable, her Aria could berserk in any moment if she isn't being monitored. One wrong move and she'll lose herself, that is why they can't lean on Valerie's strength, even if she's strong enough to defend everyone.
"Brat, just do this job and next time, I'll teach you one of my sword techniques, got that?"
Lukas shifted his look in another direction and stared. That's true, he's been trying to make Ares teach him one of his legendary sword techniques. It's not a bad deal either, now he feels a little satisfied but he still knows that this is a trap.
