That was how the military power in Area 05 was, it was the same as in Area 06 with no major differences, showing how much similarities the two Areas had.
Anyway what was sent to them as reinforcement was a battalion of 720 soldiers, in other words four companies which seemed a lot more then what they expected.
They didn't expect that they would get that much soldiers just to deal with an enemy with a power no more than four hundred soldiers and no strong weapons, but then they thought about it and found that it didn't really matter as having more soldiers would mean that their power would get stronger which also mean that they won't be in much danger, after all safety always comes first.
Everyone in the battalion started taking their positions without making any noise as they didn't want to alert the enemy.
The place that they were in was around 500 m away from the village and the vehicles didn't make that much noise so they were safe, for that moment at least.
The village was in an open space inside a forest so the place where the soldiers were was hidden, also there was only one road from the shore to the village, but because it wasn't in a straight line and they had released many drones to look at the surrounding they were able to be 100% sure that there were no enemies close by and that they had made it there without anyone noticing them, which made them relived as they wanted to use the element of surprise in their coming attack.
General Schmidt was there personally to take control over that mission, while Admiral Herbert was left behind on the shore with the rest of the army to lead the soldiers there if anything unexpected happened.
General Schmidt looked at the drone taken videos about the area around them and the enemies in it before finally saying:
"We will split to four companies, each company will take a side around this village and then we will start closing up to them, none of them should even think about leaving, make sure of that, the places where I want the companies to be at are here, here, here and here, so hurry up take your positions and wait for my orders." As he said that he specified which places he wanted each company to stay at in a map that was hurriedly made.
Getting their orders all the companies leaders saluted him before leaving, they understood that their leader wasn't feeling well, seeing how even though they expected that they won't even have a strong threat in that Area they had already lost two squads before even starting the war, they didn't want to make any mistakes no matter how small they were, first so they won't make their leader angrier and second so that they can be safer.
Because there was no road to take and they didn't want to make much noise while they were moving, they had to move on their feet slowly to the positions that Schmidt pointed at in the map, leaving the vehicles away.
It took them a while to finally make it to their locations as they were moving slowly in order not to alert the enemy and all, but they made it to their locations safely in the end and they weren't found out by their enemies so the first step was a success making the soldiers release breathes of relief and Schmidt quite happy.
Schmidt was in a vehicle in the woods watching all what was happening using the drones and giving orders to the soldiers from there.
After each company took their positions he finally gave the order which they were all waiting for:
"Move three hundred meters close to the village, remember do that slowly and carefully."
Getting his order the, companies' leaders all passed them to the soldiers under them who started slowly closing up on the enemy without making any noise, Schmidt wanted to first to close any escapes routes for his enemies before starting his attack.
So it wasn't till he saw that all his teams were on their positions that he passed his second order:
"Use panzerfaust 3 to attack those which are outside, each company will release fifteen missiles while the others should stay on high alert in order to fire after the other enemies appear."
Hearing his words everyone their showed surprised expressions, they never expected that their leader would be so ruthless to use the panzerfaust 3 against humans who didn't even have guns, they only had swords and arrows to protect themselves.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
The panzerfaust 3, 'PZF 3' is a German anti-tank weapon, and it was one of the strongest of its kind in the world, in their army each squad had a few on them so of course they knew that they would use them, but to use something like that against barbarians was simply like using a sword to slay a chicken.
Yet it was on order, and an order which showed just how much anger Schmidt had at that moment so they didn't dare taking it lightly, not that they would have done that as that thought never crossed their minds, after all in Area 05 going against military orders was one of the highest offences in an army, it would even lead to the execution of the person who did it, and in some rare cases even the families of those who defied orders would be punished.
So fifteen solder from each company aimed their PZF 3 at the unsuspicious enemies and awaited the orders of Schmidt to attack.
The number of enemies outside was around three hundred and thirty it seemed that the others were inside buildings, the majority of those outside were people who were wearing armor which covered just their torsos, leaving their arms unprotected.
The other people amongst them seemed to be the minority, they were wearing something which seemed like a robe and they also held long wands in their hands, of those three hundred and thirty almost twenty of those who were wearing armors and three of those who were wearing robes and holding wands were keeping watch of the area around them while the others were sleeping.
It wasn't till a while passed that Schmidt's voice was heard against by the companies' leaders:
"Are you ready?"
"Company 01 ready."
"Company 02 ready."
"Company 03 ready."
"Company 03 ready."
After all the companies reported that they were ready Schmidt nodded and said:
"Ok then attack on three... Two... One... ATTACK!" As he shouted the last part, all the companies' leaders gave the orders to attack, and just like that more than sixty PZF 3 were released toward the warriors and wizards, fifteen from the side of each company.
Schmidt watched the screen on front of him with a smile as the missiles kept on moving toward their enemies, but then the look on his face froze and an unbelievable expression appeared on his face as he stood up, he stood up so fast that the chair under him fell.
He wasn't the only one, but the companies' leaders and even the soldiers stood there with unbelieving expressions on their faces.
What made them act like that was the sight that happened in front of their eyes a few seconds before.
While the missiles almost made it to the place where the enemies were, most of them stopped... no not stopped, they exploded it was as if they hit something invisible and detonated, it was as if they hit a wall or something like that.
But even though most of them hit that invisible barrier and exploded at least three missiles from each company were able to pass as it seemed that that barrier or whatever that thing that kept them from passing at first, wasn't able to hold on and it got destroyed.
As you would expect from a general who had gone through a lot in his life, general Schmidt was soon able to return to his senses as he shouted through the phone:
"Shoot! Release other missiles, whatever stopped the first few isn't there anymore hurry up, keep on shouting, don't stop."
His shout returned the company leaders to their senses as they started shouting at their soldiers to shoot again.
As soon as General Schmidt saw that barrier and how most of the missiles were destroyed before even making it to their target he understood that this place that they were in wasn't as normal as they had thought, and he also understood that they had to deal with those people as soon as possible as just that barrier seemed to be a headache for them.
The soldiers didn't dare to waste any time at all, all those that didn't release their PZF 03 aimed it at the confused enemies who were on a mess and fired.
The warriors and wizards were in a mess as they didn't understand what was happening at all.
They had full faith in their barrier as it was made using the power of fifty of their strongest wizards and it would have taken a considerable efforts and power from whoever tried to destroy it to do that which should have given them enough time to react, yet there they were under attack, the barrister was destroyed and they had no idea about how it got destroyed that fast or about what was happening.
The first attack already killed a few warriors and wizards, the second one killed even more adding to the chaos and mess in the village, and without a barrier or anything to protect them, the casualties were even more, making people from Area 05 take breaths of relief as they thought about how they were winning.
But still even as they were winning general Schmidt was still shouting at them to keep on firing the PZF 03 as he understood that the best way to finish this kind of fights, where they understood absolutely nothing about the other side, would be to end it as fast as possible without giving the other side any chance to retaliate.
And that only got stronger after he saw the wizards who were inside the buildings started leaving as they heard what was happening outside and how after getting out, they all started releasing spells, at that moment he understood that they had made a big mistake by thinking that the Area which they were in was a normal place.
The warriors in the side of Area 12 were already straightforward people, they would always get controlled by their emotions easily, to the point where they would loss control of themselves, so when they saw many of their friends and brothers die in front of them, many of them started losing themselves to their anger, till finally it happened.
One of them couldn't take it any more so in anger he activated his power as on his body blue glowing tattoos started appearing all over his skin, as that happened he started running toward one side where he saw the missiles coming from.
He didn't move for long as he got shoot soon after by all the soldiers on that side who were waiting to deal with anyone like that, yet it was only the beginning, as soon after that another one also started moving toward the soldiers from Area 05, he had the same fate as the warrior before him but this time something else happened.
A wizard stood and shouted something, the people front Area 05 didn't hear what he said as they were simply too far away but they were able to see that after he talked the mess on their side started getting under control and they started getting closer to each other, as people stopped being headless chickens and started working together.
