The last lives to save

21st of Capricornian. Unknown Territory. 02:00 of Afternoon.

Masha and the Group manages to capture two Watchtowers and a village. For their last Operation. Command told them to do it in the dark. Masha knew the team would need at least a good rest before hauling their last round.

Masha: Rice Basket. Be advise we'll be taking a break here. Command told us to commence at dark. How copy.

LPN Missile Cruiser Ship: Copy. We'll take a break as well and prepare the Missiles. Good day, captain.

22nd of Capricornian. Unknown Territory. 02:00 of early morning.

Masha: Did you Comrades get a good sleep?

SPF, MID Troops: Yes Comrade Captain.

Maria: Ready to go, Captain.

Masha: Alright. Let's get the Party started, Girls *lits the Signal Flare*

LPN POV

LPN Gunner: Captain. Our Comrades just lit the flares. Orders?

LPN Captain: Launch them now.

As soon as it said, LPN Ships launched the Missiles. The reason as to why the Missiles from LPN would have to launch is to "speedrun" this Mission. Masha, Maria and their team would have to take note to "take caution" as they weren't informed what kind of Missile are they using, even assured it wasn't a Tactical Nukes.

Enemy POV

???: What the? Are the Goddesses are punishing us for something?

???: Oy: What are you doing? Move out

???: This can't real. This can't be real.

???: Huh. Guess I'm gonna die now.

Khaistan Imperial Guard POV

KI Guard 1: What the heck is going on over there?

KI Guard 2: Um. Dragon Attack. I dunno. This doesn't concern about our Empire anyway.

KI Guard 1: Well. Aren't they are umm... Subjects of ours?

KI Guard 2: Yeah but to be real they are just barbarians being powerless. Leave them be and let them die.

KI Guard 1: You're right. As long as we have more land for our Empire. Besides they'll gonna conquer that anyways.

But the KI Guard Command have a bad feeling about this scene they were seeing right now.

KI Guard Commander: I hope they weren't the Sky Monsters attacking there.

Back to Masha, her Group and the LPN, the Missile turned out to be cluster Munitions albeit "nerfed" to avoid civilian casualties. The Missile attack lasts only a Minute.

Masha: Advance. Go go go.

LPN Sailor: They're moving.

At this point. The Seaborne Troops were ordered to attack as well. The territory revealed to be a Neighboring Kingdom and a Tributary land to the Khaistan Empire. Noises of Explosions and Gunfire were ringing all over the Place. Masha and her Group proceed with their Objective and to their luck, they found a large number of Captive Slaves. This time in a underground place that appears to be a prison of sorts. A Seaborne Troop Regiment accompanying the Group decide to help them out in escorting the Captives to safety.

Masha: This way people. We'll get you all home.

Elf Captive: Thank you.

Fairy Captive: Thank you for setting us free.

Orentsian Captive: Ah. Finally. I've been answered.

Other Captives: *chattering noises*

As Masha and her Group moving in to check for more, they also encounter the Enemy forces. Some were even try to alarm, not knowing it was already shut down from Missile Attacks earlier. The nobles who were caught to the fight were at first surprised. How could this happen to them? Are these so-called Sky Monsters decide to pick them up? No one really knew why. They knew however they will die.

LPN Seaborne Troop Commander: Kill the hostiles. Spare no one.

Everyone: Yes, Lieutenant.

The Nobles decide to fight them anyway and indeed die. Some were just decide to surrender, accepting their fate to be a captive. The Command wasn't sure on what to do with the Nobles, but since they surrendered, Command allowed their Troops to capture them.

Noble: I surrender. Don't kill me please.

LPN Seaborne Soldier: Get on the Ground. Don't do anything stupid.

Noble: *shivering voice* Y...yes understood.

The other civilians and soldiers also decide to surrender, knowing they don't stand a chance. By the time the attack was over, Masha and the Group finished rounding up the captives and brought them to the Civilian Barges to take them home to their respective countries, and foresaw the situation.

Masha: Wow. Everyone surrendered eh. I wonder why?

Maria: At least we don't need to commit warcrimes here. Unlike in other places.

Then the Ruler of the Land suddenly approach the LPN Seaborne Troops. At this point, it was already 6 in the morning.

Ruler: I will do anything. Just spare me. Please.

LPN Seaborne Commander: Huh? What do you want then?

Ruler: Anything. My wealth. My people as your slaves. Anything.

LPN Seaborne Commander: Well. Let's see. Hey Captain Pugachova.

Masha: Hmm?

LPN Seaborne Commander: What shall we do to this old dude?

Masha: I'll handle this.

LPN Seaborne Commander: Sure thing.

Masha: Alright. Before I decide on what to do to you, tell me. Are you an ally to the Khaistan Empire? Or they just happened to conquer your land by force?

Ruler: They.... They threaten us to kill us all if we don't submit ourselves to them. So we have no choice. We weren't like this before. The ruler before me tried not to have slave workers and even forbid its people to buy one. Despite our Diplomatic Efforts, we failed. We badly failed and they choked us hard.

Masha: That's tragic. But you say you're having slaves because you believe the Empire won't harm you. Correct?

Ruler: Yes that is correct. We weren't supposed to.

Masha: What if I told you I can bring you to a land far away from here? Far from the scope of the Khaistan Empire. Where you can be free without having to use slaves. You and your people.

Ruler: Really? If it is. Where? Just tell me. We can do anything for you.

Masha: Alright. Here's a proposal. My home country is looking for... workers. Lots of workers, from Miners to Black Water finders. With huge pay, proper accommodations and even a good shelter. Deal?

Ruler: Yes of course. Anything just to let us live.

Masha: Good. Hey you hear that, Comrade?

LPN Seaborne Commander: Yes, Captain. I'm Svetlana Zyuganova, by the way.

Masha: Fine I guess. Alright. To all who surrendered fear not. You will not be enslaved unlike what these Imperial Bastards did to everyone they see inferior.

Everyone: *chattering noises*

Ruler: Thank you for your kindless, strange lady.

Maria: Excuse me, mister but were you originally came from?

Ruler: I'm a Khaistan. But I don't like Slavery and Bloodshed. I used to be a part of Rebel Knights and......

He revealed everything. He was a Noble who rebel against Khaistan's Harsh ruling who also hates Bloodshed and Slavery. As soon as LPN and the Special Group learns this, The Command, Defense Minister and PPG's Head Chief Director were listening. This finding will be helpful in the future. And due to Masha's offer, which also heard via Digipods. The Lolilandic Government won't have to bother hiring workers for mining and Oil related works. Command decide to told the Joint Forces to escort the surrendered. Their location, is the Lolilandic-Occupied Orcopia. Others who refuse to surrender, and upon learning about what the Ruler had said, decide to act hostile, but were forcibly put down. The Final Mission ended well and the Command decide to write the surrendered as "Rescued Unknown Citizens" and "Anti-Imperial Resistance Captive" for the Ruler. Masha decide to conduct a recon to check what to do next, and confirmed there was no more captives to fish out. Furthermore, they were near to the Empire.

Khaistan Imperial Guard Commander: Oh no. The Sky Monsters are here. Hope they won't come here.

KI Guard: Welp. Not our concern. But this means no more slave there but the land is enough anyways.

Masha and Zyuganova orders the surrendered to board the ship and leave the land. As per deal, the surrendered were heading to the Lolilandic-Occupied Orcopia for work. Command revealed the Government approved Masha's proposal. By this point Orcopia is about to be tapped for Oil and Natural Resources. As Masha, her group and the Seaborne Troops, decide to stay in the waters of the Khaistan Empire. Awaiting and anticipating for possible "retaliatory act" but none of it happened. Even they wait until the next day.

23rd of Capricornian. Open Sea near Khaistan Empire. Special Group POV. 07:00 of morning.

It was another day and no clashes they anticipated occurred. Masha and Svetlana concluded this was due to fears of the rumored "sky monsters" which Lolilandics defeated from their Civil War days. They decided to just sail home.

Svetlana: Command be advise we are sailing back home. How copy.

Command: Roger. You are clear to head home. The Mission is completed.

Meanwhile, Masha decide to contact the PPG's HQ.

HCD Kosygina: Do you have something to report, Jackfruit 1?

Masha (on radio): Yes, Basket. We are nearly at the Khaistan Empire. Awaiting Orders.

HCD Kosygina: Leave the area once. We don't have any clearance to attack the Empire yet.

Masha: Copy. We'll do. Interrogative. We have no more land to infiltrate in.

HCD Kosygina: Roger. We'll send a Rotorcraft to pick you girls up.

Masha: Interrogative. This concludes our campaign, over.

HCD Kosygina: Uh yes. But I'll talk to the Premier on when we can strike the Empire though.

Masha: Copy. We'll wait for that. Out. Also Interrogative. Permission to take a break while waiting for extraction. And uh, were sailing on a LPN Missile Cruiser group by the way.

HCD Kosygina: Copy. You can. Again we'll extract you via rotorcraft. Have a safe trip, ladies. Out.

Maria: So... Is it over now, Comrade Captain?

Masha: Yeah. Time to go home I guess.

With that said, Masha, the Special Group and the LPN Missile Cruiser Group sail its way to home.

To be continued.
