Army Units.

So a few wizards used a swamp spell, turning the ground under the feet of the ten men to a quagmire, making the unsuspicious men fall victims to that trap.

 

Even though those men seemed as if they didn't understand what was happening, they still opened their mouths trying to warn their friends about what was happening while holing some weird long things and starting to look around them searching for any weird movement and waiting for their friends to come and help them.

 

But unfortunately for them, the wizards didn't give them the chance, as they used a soundproof barrier to stop any sound from passing through.

 

That barrier was a normal spell which any wizard can use after a bit of training, but it was quite weak as any wizard with any amount of accomplishment in the field of magic would be able to deal with it, and it could only trap one person at a time, so it was rarely used in fights.

 

But even a spell like that had its uses, like that moment against those men who seemed normal without any signs of being wizards, so ten wizards in the team targeted those ten men.

 

One of the men inside the soundproof barrier was able to notice that something wrong was happening as he looked around him and saw that even though some of his friends seemed as if they were shouting he couldn't hear anything, so he moved his hand to his side and after he brought it in front of him again he was holding a small round object, he removed something from that round object and threw the later far away from him.

 

The wizards and warriors didn't understand what he did but a few seconds later a huge explosion was heard from the place where that round object fall, the wizards and warriors were all surprised at first but they all soon understood that their plan of finishing those ten men without alarming the other people had failed, so the wizards all turned their wands toward the those ten men who were still stock and fired their spells.

 

There was a lot of different spells released, some were fire based others were wind, lightning, water, all types of attacks were release at the ten men who could only watch in amazement as such different types of attacks moved toward them.

 

So before their friends even made it to where they were, they all got killed leaving destroyed corps behind them.

 

When their mates finally made it to where they were they only found some badly damaged corpses and nothing else, a man there who seemed to be their leader started giving orders in a language that they weren't able to understand.

 

After that they all retreated to the building that they were using as a temporarily base while keeping an eye at what was happening around them.

 

When they finally entered the building their leader shouted a few orders and as he did the men inside started getting busy, but soon enough the building fall into silence, as if no one was there.

 

As the wizards and warriors were waiting for a chance to start their attack,

suddenly three warriors among them fall to the ground died with their heads destroyed.

 

That was a surprise to all of them and they hurriedly tried finding places to hide, while that was happening a few mages were trying to release a searching spell, it would have taken only one real veteran wizard with enough Mana to release it but they were actually just new wizards without that much Mana so they had to work together to release it.

 

The academy did have a lot of real wizards who had at the very least gone through two or three wars, but those were kept for dangerous missions and they were rarely used, so this time not understanding who much importance the Headmaster had given this mission, the servant thought that only those one hundred new wizards were enough, after all they still had three hundred warriors behind them.

 

Anyway, after the spell was finally ready to be released, the hand of the wizard who was controlling the spell, started releasing a faint blue glow, seeing that he nodded to the others with him before putting his hand on the ground and as he did, something like a wave which was only seen by him started moving through the ground till it reached the building where the soldiers were.

 

After it made it there the wave stopped under the building and a faint blue light, only the wizard who had a control over the spell was able to see, started appearing over the bodies of the soldiers inside, it seemed that their bodies were releasing a pale blue light.

 

The wizard looked over the building and saw that on top of its roof there were three men lying down while holding some something in their hands, he wasn't able to see what it was exactly as his spell wasn't strong enough but he was able to remember those weird long things that every one of those men were holding and he guessed that they were them.

 

He also found that they were looking at their location and he understood that the three warriors that died were killed by those three men, so he warned the people there to stay in a hidden place, a place not seen from the roof of the building where those men were.

 

Then he and some other wizards started getting ready to finish those three men.

 

He first told them about the specific location before finally they started a spell to deal with them.

 

They all worked together to make a fire spell, this time it wasn't one they weren't able to use so they had to work together like the searching spell, instead it was a spell that would get stronger the more wizards there were.

 

So they all started chanting together all that while another five wizards were keeping a barrier to hide them from the people inside the building as the spell would show their location instantly if they tried activating it normally.

 

After a while a huge fireball that seemed to be three meters big was hovering around two meters above the ground, the wizards controlling the spell all looked at each other nodded before one of them pointed his finger at the three people on top of the building.

 

Even though the fireball was big it actually was fast, as soon as it left the barrier that was hiding what was happening from the soldiers on the building, it made it to the roof top of the building, it seemed as if it teleported there, giving the three men on the roof no time to react before it hit them.

 

As soon as it hit the roof of the building the fireball exploded killing the three men there.

 

Even though the fireball was aimed at the three men on the roof top, because of its power it destroyed most of the top of the building with it showing just how much power it had.

 

And making sure not to waste that chance the warrior that didn't have the chance to act till that point, all used that moment of confusion and the mess that happened to the side of the enemies after being hit by the fireball to attack, they weren't going to waste that chance, they were going to avenge their friends and mates.

 

And as they started running, the color blue covered the ground as on their bodies different sized blue tattoos started glowing, the scene was so breathtakingly beautiful.

 

As the warriors started their attack the wizards were just behind them, of course they couldn't keep up with the inhuman speed of the warriors but they were still faster than the normal human as they used different spells to strengthen their bodies and make themselves faster and stronger.

 

The men inside that building were in a mess as they weren't expecting such a huge fireball to come flying toward them, so after that explosion they were still in a state of confusion and weren't able to react fast enough to the shining men running toward them, it wasn't till the first warrior made it inside the building that they returned to their senses and understood that they were in big trouble, yet it was already too late.

 

The warriors destroyed the men inside with some help from the wizards, and just like that, their fight with the weird outsiders ended.

 

Of course right then they didn't know that those people weren't the same as them and they thought of them as just some thieves, bandits or some unknown faction.

 

And even though they used the element of surprise to deal with the men inside, many of them still suffered injuries , as the weapons that those people used were to different and weird, they weren't like anything they saw before in their lives, which made them wonder about where those people come and how was it that they never heard about them.

 

"Anyway they all died and we collected all their weapons, let us return to the village, I think that their friends would return here soon." after a while passed one of them said to his friend, the other person also nodded and they returned to the village.

 

What they didn't know was that they were already being watched by those that they were talking about, as a few drones were released to see how the village was and what happened to the soldiers that were left behind.

 

Seeing the number of wizards and warriors there and seeing how all the soldiers that they left behind were all died, one platoon leader called General Schmidt and told him about what they saw:

 

"General unfortunately all the soldiers are died, and the number of enemies is around four hundreds, what should we do?"

 

Hearing that general Schmidt fall into silence, he sent just those five platoon in order for them to move faster and see if they can make it their before all the soldiers died, but it seemed that they were still late.

 

Seeing how there was no point in that anymore he said:

 

"Keep an eye on them and wait, we are coming soon."

 

"Roger that." the platoon leader said before the call got cut, he then turned his head and said to the other platoon leaders.

 

"Everyone keep an eye on the enemy we will wait for the other troops to make it here before we attack."

 

Nodding their heads all the platoon leaders left to pass those orders to the soldiers under them.

 

Finally half an hour later the others finally made it there, seeing the number of soldiers that arrived, saying that they were surprised would be a underestimation as they were way more then what they thought would be sent to aide them.

 

The smallest unit in an army in Area 05 was a squad, it usually consisted of ten soldiers, above that would be a platoon it usually has four squads; usually it is armored with machine guns and anti-tank weapons and other weapons like that.

 

After that we have a company, which are usually formed of three to six platoon,

and above that we would find battalion which is usually composed of 3 to 8 hundred soldiers divided to companies, and then we have a brigade which is a major tactical military formation which is typically composed of three to six battalions with supporting elements of course, two or more of this will make a division.

 

And then there's a division which is a large military unite, usually it consists of between 10.000 to 20.000 soldiers.

 

Then two or more divisions would make a corps and then there's an army which is consisted of two or more corps.
