Counterattack II

The operation began, the soldiers began to advance through the city, with the help of DreamTech tanks they managed to overcome any obstacle on the way, while the front advanced and repelled the invaders, several teams began rescue operations, despite Of the large number of civilians killed, there were still several who managed to hide for their lives, so the arrival of the soldiers renewed the hope of survival.

On the other hand, the squad, from Abel had taken a detour, inside one of the transport vehicles were the 6 people who were directing the mission among which was Abel, while silence reigned inside the vehicle, Dimitri could not avoid ask "Why did we take a detour? We shouldn't go to the front, after all it would be easier to capture one of those things", they all looked at Dimitri as if he were a fool, but no one answered, after all who was Abel is in charge and he would have to handle these types of questions, after a few minutes Abel replied "There is a lot of chaos at the front, so any attempt to capture is too risky, the main force has already passed this way, however , there are still some laggards, we will take advantage of this to try to capture 5 of the laggards ".

Knowing that he could not refute Dimitri decided not to insist, on the other hand, Erika, also had a question "I would like to ask about the tanks that are in front, before going up I made sure that they did not have any type of hatch to enter, who Does he drive them? ", this time the one who answered was Elisa" they are called ASAV and they are armored autonomous support vehicles, they do not need someone to drive them, since they are connected to the suit that Abel is wearing ", after Elisa's words everyone showed curiosity, for the ASAVs and they asked several questions that Elisa answered.

While Elisa answered the questions, the vehicles stopped, and Abel spoke quickly, "we have reached the first search place, inside the buildings there is likely an invader." After speaking, the transport vehicles opened, and the ASAV aimed their cannons at the building, when he got out of the vehicles, Pedro asked "what is the plan?", Abel replied, "I will capture him, you will watch the area", then he began to move in the direction of the building.

When Alfons saw Abel heading to the building, he couldn't help but ask "is it okay for me to go alone?" Pedro replied with a sigh "for now we should follow his instructions, but if something happens, I hope Lieutenant Alfons will help me to rescue him ", Alfons replied" If I understand, my father also believes that Abel could play an important role within the federation. "

Abel stopped at the doors of the building, then from several transport vehicles several drones with a semicircular appearance began to leave, the size of a soccer ball which went to the building, after a few moments a strange noise was heard and a From the walls came a creature with a rather unpleasant appearance, it was a gray-brown color, and although it was not too large the huge claws and teeth gave it a rather intimidating appearance, most of the soldiers had already been informed of the appearance of the invaders but seeing them in person was much scarier than on a screen.

The creature quickly went in the direction of Abel, however, when it was 10 meters from Abel a translucent blue barrier stopped its advance, as the creature could not react in time, it ended up crashing, while the initial stun passed, it was quickly seen Enveloped by several walls that prevented her from getting out, she used her claws and spits out a disgusting-looking liquid, however her efforts were totally in vain, she was trapped.

The drones reappeared and approached the creature, they made contact with the upper wall in which several magic matrices could be observed, then one of the sphere began to throw a strange gas inside the improvised cage, the gas passed without problem through the upper wall, with the first gas the creature did not show any strange signs, it just kept trying to break the walls without stopping, each sphere began to throw a different gas, just with the fifth gas, the creature showed signs of weakening, then more drones docked and dropped more gas, until the creature fell to the ground.

With the creature fainted, Abel removed the magical barriers, then the drones, threw several strings that tied the creature from all sides and lifted it, finally leaving the creature in a truck-like vehicle that had a huge platform that was found at the end of the convoy, after securing the creature, Abel returned to the transport vehicle, this time no one said anything, after all the operation that Abel has just carried out, it only took 5 minutes, it showed great efficiency and precision.

As the Convoy advanced, the number of creatures increased, at one point they were ambushed by a squad of several invaders, with the help of tanks and magicians they were able to exterminate them, after the soldiers saw the power of the tanks, they were surprised, even the 5 people who were with Abel couldn't help but admire the utility that the tanks presented.

Time passed and after several difficulties they were able to successfully capture 4 specimens, while the convoy advanced looking for the last objective, Elisa spoke inside the command vehicle, "Sir, the heat signature shows a group of survivors not far away that it is being attacked by several enemies ", after locating the group of survivors, the convoy advanced rapidly, despite the fact that their mission was to capture specimens, they could not abandon humans who were in danger.

In minutes they reached a building that appeared to be a school, totally surrounded by several invaders, the tanks started fire, while the transport vehicles opened and the soldiers began to get out, both the army and the guild magicians were well trained, for what the organization was quite fast, the magic fighters advanced to the front, the main weapon of a magic fighter was varied from swords, to spears could be seen and they were all magic tools, once activated they were quite dangerous for the enemy, in the rear the wizards provided support with different spells, they quickly made their way through the enemies, until they reached the schoolyard.

Inside the inner courtyard of the school you could see a group of soldiers, entrenched shooting from the windows of the school, at the entrance a group of several magical fighters were resisting with nails and teeth the envestment of the enemies, around you could see various corpses of the invading creatures and many humans.

Seeing the precarious situation of the survivors, Abel knew that they had to break the fence quickly, so he went ahead of the group then summoned several shields around him and in each of the shields he configured a spell to produce continuous fire is very similar to a flamethrower, but it consumes a lot of mana, so as it advanced it had to replace the shields.

At this moment Abel had turned into a huge fireball that was consuming everything in its path, although the invading creatures were quite resistant, the heat generated by so much fire was enough to turn them into coal, once Abel began his march quickly The convoy advanced behind their backs, after several minutes of fighting the creatures began to flee as they realized that they would soon be overcome, however, while fleeing, one of the creatures was cornered by a group of soldiers, after fighting a couple of minutes she was caught.

After the intense fight, Lieutenant Alfons approached Abel, "A rather risky maneuver, I had understood, that fire spells at such a close range could cause severe damage to its caster", Abel replied "The suit I am wearing, It is designed to protect the user from their own spells, I could not risk using random spells, we are in a fairly small area and could end up injuring an ally ", Alfons nodded and was suspicious of the functions of the suit, he just wanted to ask out of curiosity and to confirm your doubts.

While Abel and Alfons exchanged words, a soldier left the school, after presenting a military salute, he spoke, "I am Lieutenant Quiang Ming, we are thankful for your help, I would like to request support to evacuate 500 civilians who are inside the school ", Alfons also responded with a military salute" Greetings Lieutenant Ming, I am Lieutenant Alfons Williams from the reserve army, we will provide all the help we can, we will return to the base of operations shortly, so I need you to organize everyone so that they accompany us ".

Abel's convoy had no doctors, and among the survivors there were many injured, so it was decided that transport vehicles would be used to move the wounded, and the others would move on foot, they had to move quickly, despite that the operation in general was being carried out with success, it was not known when it would begin to withdraw it so the faster they were on their way back the better.The civilians consisted of several men and women, but most were children, apparently they were Caught while teaching, and the soldiers were nearby during the time of the invasion, this area was a bit far from the planetary station so it was among the last to be attacked.

When the civilians saw that the invading creatures had been repelled and an army squad had arrived they felt relieved, they thought that this would be their end, after the last specimen was secured, and the survivors were settled, the squad started its way back. to the base.
