Chapter 86: Republic of Zoravia

Bell was well aware of the Kingdom Zugspitze, nestled within the southern mountain range. It had once been a member of the Southern Coalition, but communication with the rest of the coalition had ceased. Legend had it that the civilization was wiped out by an ice dragon attack, but Bell wasn't convinced. And now, what he saw confirmed his doubts.

Peering out of the window of his jet, Bell beheld a surprising sight. Where once it was believed uninhabitable, the mountains were now dotted ...

Chapter 85: The Eldritch Gamble

In JB Frostwood Hangar 6, Bell readied himself to confront the unknown alongside Lisa. Nestled within the hangar awaited a Gulfstream G950 business jet, devoid of armaments, but Bell harbored no intention of combatting whatever abomination or group awaited him. His sole desire was to swiftly uncover the truth and return to the coalition's southern warfront, where his primary aim remained: thwarting their adversaries at their source.

Clad not in combat gear but in a simple white shirt, f...

Chapter 84: What Should I Do?

Seven Days Later 

Bell was seated in his office, cradling a steaming mug of tea in one hand while the other held two pills that Lisa, having visited a psychiatrist, had provided. He swallowed the medication, his mind racing with the gravity of the decision before him. The thought of launching a nuclear strike lingered at the forefront of his thoughts. Yet, he harbored serious doubts about its efficacy. Even if by some miracle it succeeded, there was no assurance that the eldritch e...

Chapter 83: It's All Gone

"BELL! BELL! WAKE UP!" Lisa's shout felt both distant and close, like an angel lifting him out of purgatory. Suddenly, he felt a jolt on his chest, and his eyes snapped open, revealing the command room. His command staff lay on the floor in recovery position, with Lilith being the first to stand up and check the radar screen.

Most of them wore expressions of confusion, but Bell was different. Tears welled up in his eyes from the horror he had just experienced. It wasn't a fleeting scare...

Chapter 82: Disaster Of an Eldritch Origin

Bell floated in an empty hallway with dim light. He kept walking in the hallway as the floor behind him fell into the void. He wasn’t sure how he ended up in here, but he felt something he hadn’t felt for a long time. The numbers kept broadcasting on his ears on eerie tone, alongside with flashes of red text every time ...

Chapter 81: Alpha Strike Against The Jamming Facility

In the dimly lit meeting room, the command staff sat in tense anticipation, their focus riveted on the large screen displaying the radar feed. Projected by a powerful projector, the screen showed a detailed map dotted with symbols representing aircraft. Each symbol marked a plane loaded with anti-radiation missiles, prepared to neutralize enemy radar installations.

Lilith coordinated the strike, and now, she was only here for the result of her plan. Whether this ended in failure or not ...

Chapter 80: The Origin of The Numbers

Well, how could Bell forget that? Hussar had been a soldier for Zugspitze before he renounced his allegiance to it and the Empire dismissed it as a lost kingdom. That meant the kingdom was cut off from communication and held no diplomatic sway in the continent anymore. From the outset, it was an odd kingdom nestled in the northern mountain range, but it seemed like just another highland kingdom. It was never particularly advanced, especially compared to the Empire. 

During the war,...

Chapter 79: The Numbers

The mysterious number station continued its relentless broadcasts, its cryptic messages becoming increasingly concerning. What initially seemed a curiosity escalated dramatically when the source from the mountain range took actions Bell hadn't anticipated. Now, the situation had taken a more disturbing turn for Bell personally. The sequences of numbers transcended the limitations of radio waves, infiltrating his thoughts as voices that whispered directly into his mind, straining his sanity. 2024-02-27 00:13:31 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 78: Patrolling Over Maruno River

As Bell continued to circle above in his F-15S, the scale of the military build-up below was a sight to behold. From his vantage point, the organized chaos of preparation unfolded like a meticulously crafted play. Despite the jamming that rendered his radar screen partially useless, the visual confirmation of ground forces in action was both reassuring and awe-inspiring.

The terrain around the Maruno River had transformed dramatically. What was once a serene and undisturbed natural land...

Chapter 77: The Implication?

After reading the report from Aya, particularly the alarming details about Anika Faber and her Nazi affiliations, Bell couldn't help but feel concerned. Aya had boldly emphasized the urgency of eliminating Faber, even suggesting the drastic measure of dropping a 2,000 kg bomb on her. If only Aya had been aware of her own dark past, Bell mused.

Nevertheless, he decided to entrust the task entirely to the RAA. They were more knowledgeable and experienced in handling such matters than the ...

Chapter 76: Operation Northern Blackout

=A Month Later=

Back at the JB Frostwood command center, the atmosphere was bustling with activity. People moved about, either acquainting themselves with new surveillance and reconnaissance technology or grappling with the reality of the army's rapid expansion, all in preparation for a potential threat that may or may not materialize.

The primary objective of the operation was to establish a defensive line, predominantly utilizing natural barriers. This defensive strategy unfolde...

Chapter 75: Just Another Policy

As Bell and Lisa entered the restaurant, they couldn't help but notice the elegant attire of the other guests, a stark contrast to their own more casual outfits. Lisa wore her standard camouflaged uniform, albeit without the ballistic vest, while Bell remained in his pilot uniform. Even the goblins in attendance were dressed to the nines.

Navigating through the restaurant, Bell and Lisa found themselves in the midst of familiar faces. The sight of Lisa, Lukas, Hanna, Amelia, Harris, Hus...

Chapter 74: Aftermath Of The Nuke

"Today's hunt was successful, I presume. You're cleared for landing on Runway #1," came the control tower's voice. Bell expertly maneuvered his F-15S to touch down at Joint-Base Frostwood, steering the jet toward an unoccupied hangar, identifiable by the #23 atop its entrance. As he navigated his aircraft to its designated spot, Lisa awaited him, perched on her BMW I7, her anticipation visible. Bell exited his jet with the assistance of the ground crew, still clad in his flight suit, and appr...

Chapter 73: B61 Nuclear Bombs

After Bell finished recounting his extraordinary tale, the women sitting in the cafe shared a collective sense of bewilderment. Sylva couldn't wrap her head around the bizarre world Bell found himself in. Hanna marveled at how many times he narrowly escaped certain death, while Lisa pondered the stark contrast between Bell's world and the modified Earth that Aya had entered, as described by Gerhard. It was clear to all of them, however, that Bell must have been an exceptional pilot to have na...

Chapter 72 Extra-2: Bell's Mercenary Cabal

"Alright, where was I?" Bell paused mid-sip, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "The world was reeling from a post-magical calamity era, with the ring of fire split in two, monsters running rampant, and a prolonged volcanic winter nearly driving that world to extinction. When the remnants of the old world began to rebuild, this was the result."

Despite the harsh conditions, Bell remained in service to the cabal, knowing that abandoning them would mean certain death. Even attempt...

Chapter 72 Extra-1: Bell's Mercenary Cabal

The sight of their leader, resembling Aya in every way, sparked questions in their minds. What had happened to him? He appeared incredibly fatigued, as though he had endured a lengthy war. Bell took a seat in the chair Aya had occupied earlier, prompting Lisa to be the first to inquire.

"For heaven's sake, what happened to you?" Lisa asked.

Bell sighed deeply. "If you ask me to do that again, I swear to God I won't. I prefer the conventional route."

Hanna chimed in, curious....
