Trouble

Meanwhile on the front lines, an intense fight was taking place, every minute that passed the human forces advanced forcing the invaders to retreat closer and closer to the planetary station, in front of this entire operation was the General of the Arnold Miller regular army, when the invasion began, he was involved in a fierce fight with his soldiers, when he lost communication he really thought he would be finished, but decided to fight until the end, however, soon a drone descended and was able to reestablish the communications.

With the restored communications he was able to reform his dispersed troops and resist until the reinforcements arrived, despite the fact that a large part of the army had been annihilated, they managed to resist using their nails and teeth, seeing the arrival of reinforcements and the invaders losing territory. General Miller wanted to continue the push until they returned the way they came, however, he knew very well that it was an almost impossible operation, after all, with Elisa's help he was able to find out about the current situation, despite the fact that the invaders they lost territory minute by minute, their numbers seemed to never end, unlike the human army that were beginning to tire and need supplies.

General Miller agreed to follow Abel's plan, so at present they were only waiting for the rescue operations in the rear to culminate in order to begin the withdrawal. The fight continued. Elisa sent an alert "General, a huge way of life that it has just emerged from the portal and is heading to this location at this time ", while Elisa spoke a terrible noise could be heard as if a road were crashing against a wall, right from one of the buildings that were several meters away, it could be seen a huge creature coming out of one of the walls, apparently once the creature left the portal it advanced in a straight line crossing any obstacle in its path.

The average creature about 5 or 6 meters, it was quadruped, its head was something similar to a rhinoceros since a horn came out from the tip, however on its sides there were two other much longer horns, around its head there was a crest It formed like a shield, its body was robust like that of a bull, its front legs had short claws, while on the back legs there were structures similar to the hoofs of a bull, at the end it had a huge tail and at its end a huge lump full of huge spikes, the strangest thing about the creature is that instead of skin, it had a shiny cover similar to that of a beetle.

Once the creature entered the battlefield, the general ordered to focus part of the fire on the creature, however, once an attack began, nothing could stop it, neither the spells nor the conventional weapons, the creature crashed into a group of soldiers, devastating everything in their path, seeing this, the general ordered a group of his best magical fighters to intercept the creature with a squad of magicians, although they managed to keep it occupied, the damage that They caused him was minimal, they didn't even make it through his armor, and in the process 2 of his best fighters were crushed by the creature.

While the battle continued to unfold, the general received another alert, apparently the huge non-unique creature, soon more began to emerge from the portal, although they were not in large numbers like the small ones, each of these new creatures represented a huge threat to the human army, seeing this the general asked for help, it was likely that the fence created by humans would soon be crossed and there were still several minutes left for the rescue operations to end.

Inside the command room at DreamTecah, Jian and General Anthon were seeing the situation that did not look good at all, with the arrival of these huge creatures, soon the humans began to lose ground and troops, seeing Elisa's enormous ability to analyze situations and looking for the best answers could not help asking, "Elisa, do you have any proposal to be able to stop these creatures? Elisa replied," Currently we have two counter measures that could work, the first is to use the magic missile artillery stationed in the hill, however, we only have ammunition to fire for 10 minutes, and the plan was to use them during the retreat to allow enough time for the troops to move away from the battlefield, rescue operations have not yet been completed so if we use it at this time the withdrawal will be much more difficult than planned ".

The general sighed, "What is the second option? Before Elisa answered, Abel's voice could be heard through the communicator," General, the second option is me, "listening to Abel's words, both the general and Jian couldn't ask, "What do you mean?" Abel replied, "Reviewing the drone images and the data collected by Elisa, it is likely that the new invaders will use a defense system similar to the armor I am wearing, basically using a network of magic circuits through which mana passes this network is configured in such a way that it improves the integrity of the material and allows the absorption of kinetic and caloric energy, this protects the user from most physical and magical attacks, during tests we could only find two ways to break this type of defense, the first is to attack until the magic source runs out, and the second is to send an attack that exceeds the kinetic absorption capacity, the first option is not I think it is feasible, our troops will probably be exhausted before we can destroy the energy source of any of those creatures, for the second option we have an experimental weapon that we created at the same time as the suit, this weapon is mounted on the tanks that I brought with me, however they are experimental and we have not tested them while they are mounted on the vehicles ".

Once Abel finished speaking, General Anthon asked "So if we use these experimental weapons, what would the plan be? Abel replied, I would have to take the 6 tanks to the front shoot, I would need several soldiers to help me protect the tanks, and that after each shot the weapon has to rest for a couple of minutes ", this time the one who spoke after Abel finished was Jian," and why do you have to go? Elisa could control the tanks while your squad returns to the base, we will ask General Miller to send a squad to protect the tanks ", Abel replied with a sigh" Uncle Jian, the tanks are connected to my suit, Elisa cannot control them, it is also an experimental weapon, and we have not created a software for automatic shooting, so the fire control is also in the suit, if I don't go the weapon could not be used ".

After a few minutes of discussion, an agreement was reached, Abel and the 500 magicians of the guild would go to the battle front, while the remaining 1000 soldiers would escort the specimens and survivors to the base, while the squad divided Lieutenant Alfons and Second Lieutenant Erika approached Abel's group and with a military salute they said "Good luck on your mission, I hope to see you soon." Abel returned the military salute and both groups separated.
