Once Victor was inside the tent, he saw John covered in blood, tied to a chair, and being tortured by two men. Despite the relentless torment, John remained resilient. Matt was already dead, and his body had been taken away.
Upon noticing Victor's presence, John attempted to break free, prompting one of the torturers to deliver a harsh blow to his face. Victor signaled his men to untie John and drag him outside. They obediently followed his command and freed John from the chair before escorting him out of the tent. The group then proceeded towards Victor's tent.
Once they were inside the tent, they saw a woman who was tied up to chair with two guards right next to her. As soon as John saw the woman, his heart started beating fiercely. It was his beloved wife. Mother of his unborn child. Without even giving any chance for anyone to say something, John said yelling, "I will tell you everything, as long as you leave her alone!"
"That would be the best choice." Victor said smiling slightly. But his smile was terrifying for John. While all of this was happening, Alice finally understood what she did. She become leverage for her husband's attackers. Even though she wanted the child in her womb to grow up and live a happy life, she knew it would be hard without John. So she said to John "Don't give them any information, don't care about us. You are soldier, be the most brave one." She said while smiling dotingly.
Victor felt urge to puke. This kind of relationship was disgusting for him. Victor in his last life had zero relationship with women. All he had was his mother, who was disabled by irresponsible driver. The drunk driver struck down his mother, leaving her disabled. He was 17 years old when the whole responsibility of his mother fell on him. He had no relatives or a father to help him. Took care of his mother alone, fed her at the age of seventeen. Because of that Victor was much more mature compared to his peers.
Victor was also smart, he took the first place on national college exam. He proudly bragged about it to his mother which slightly improved her health before deteriorating. A year later, his mother died while he was studying at the country's best college. He learned that bad news as he headed to his house.
Turning around the corner of a street that leads him to home, Victor was greeted by the sight of crowd. They were all gathered outside his house while an ambulance was parked right in front if his home. Victor rushed to his house breaking through the crowd. Once he was inside the house, he saw paramedics wrapping his mother and putting her inside a black body bag. What Victor felt at that moment was the same feeling John felt after seeing his wife. Despair and fear.
Later on, Victor focused on his studies to honour her struggle to raise him. Victor graduated as first place just like the national exam. After the graduation, Victor began his journey as intern doctor. Ten years later Victor become a neurosurgeon. Another ten years later Victor was the most successful neurosurgeon in the world. Various rich people paid millions just for him to do the surgery.
As always, fame and money comes with trouble. Melanie, who was the girlfriend of the richest person in Victor's country, decided to have some fun. She drugged the alcohol Victor was drinking and raped him. She recorded it all as she thought it was fun. After few months, when Victor completely restored his mental health after the rape, his video was released. The video was showing Victor trembling as he orgasms. Everyone laughed at him and insulted him. Victor's doctors and nurses quit their jobs at his clinic while his patients started choosing other hospitals and clinics.
A year passed but Victor was still struggling. His mental health kept deteriorating and he lost everything he had. He used his money to pay back the loans he took, sold his house to avoid paying high taxes. Last blow that tore him up was Colen. Boyfriend of the Melanie. He learned that Melanie cheated him with Victor. Deciding to punish him, they broke his fingers one by one. Then they broke his wrists before breaking all the bones in his hands.
Victor without money tried his hard to save his hands but to his avail without money no one was helping him. As a doctor, Victor treated himself but it wasn't the same as getting treated by the professional orthopedic doctor. He lived a rough life as his hands was healing.
At the age of 40, Victor committed a crime and performed suicide by cops. He was shot 20 times killing him on spot. The next moment he opened his eyes, Victor was living in a different world with different cultures, names and religions...
"I don't want that kind of bravery! I will give you all the information you need just let her go!" John yelled at Victor. Angered by his yelling, Victor slapped Alice. The sound of the slap echoed inside the tent as everyone kept their mouth shut other than John. He first gasped as his wife got slapped then tried breaking free from the guards holding him down. Alice on the other hand was crying because of the pain she felt. With her teary eyes she looked at Victor, hoping that he will have mercy on them. Seeing her gaze, Victor smiled and looked at the John before saying,

"Your wife is really beautiful John. How would you feel if someone... You know held your wife up." Victor said this while smiling. John at the thought of that shivered.
"Okay, okay! There are 10 APCs located at the base while 700 personal operates the base. There are also two attack helicopters which uses crews consisting four people in each to operate." John said with one breath pleading him to leave Alice alone. Victor squinted his eyes on him before saying,
"I feel like you're lying but I dont know why." He said, slowly caressing Alice's face. Alice was looking at him with anger and fear. Anger towards John, who revealed everything about his base while her fear towards to the man in front of him, Victor. Now that he got the information he wants, what are the odds of them leaving here alive.
"I'm telling you the truth! If there are any differences between my words and reality it's because of your ambush on my convoy!" John said trying to be reasonable.
Victor hearing what he said felt urgency to attack the base. If they reinforced the base, then his preparations would be useless. Even worse they could find his camping location in here. It would be devastating loss for him.
Deciding on attacking the base Victor gave order for his two men who was guarding Alice "Play with her as you two like." The moment words left his mouth John screamed out his lungs as he finally broke free from the hands of the guards. Rushing towards the Victor, John was one inch away from punching Victor's face before he fell on the ground.
After successfully grabbing John and forcing him to stay on the ground, screams of a woman was heard by everyone in the outpost. Victor had already left the tent while thinking about his next step.
His next goal is to destroy the Chalin base and gain more rewards. The Chalin base had four entrances on each side. North, East, South and West. The walls of the base was reinforced concrete and could stand against the siege artillery of this world. But there was also huge disadvantages because of the location. The Chalin base was surrounded by mountains on two side and a forest located at the skirts of the mountain which half of it turned to ashes not long ago.
According to Victor's assumptions and plans, the wall won't stand against his modern weaponry and would collapse in seconds, making the soldiers inside an easy target for his men. Later with the power of the modern weaponry and the advantage of using high grounds, Victor wishes to take down those outdated APCs easily before completely cleaning up the base.
Suddenly Victor remembered the rare summoning ticket he got as a reward from the system. Opening his system and opening his inventory he checked the description.
------
Rare Summoning Ticket
A rare summoning ticket that could be contain anything. Goblin army or a soldier who sings a song. No one knows what's inside before they open.
-------
Seeing the simple and unsatisfactory description, Victor decided to use the summoning ticket later to regret on his choice. With blinding lights, the ground shook as loud engines of a tank heard, followed by the sounds of marching. After a minute later when the lights diminished, Victor saw an army standing in front of him. Later he heard system notification and opened his system to check.
------
Introducing the "Steel Vanguard Battalion" – a formidable military unit comprised of 500 skilled soldiers, accompanied by a potent arsenal of 10 tanks, 5 self-propelled howitzers, and 5 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs). This versatile and well-equipped battalion stands as a symbol of strength, prepared to execute a range of strategic missions with precision and firepower.
------
Reading the description Victor was satisfied this time. Now that he had more strength than he expected, Victor was eager to attack the Chalin base. Victor thought about attacking the base tonight. With this in his mind Victor selected 20 soldiers from the battalion to follow him while selecting another 20 to scout the other mountain.
One hour later both sides returned back to the outpost. Then they gathered around the Victor as he explained his plan. 2 tank would be located at each mountains leaving 3 tank at the open area leading towards the base while guarding the 5 SPHs located there.
IFVs and 3 remaining tanks will attack from the open area with 200 infantry supporting them. Victor also bought few Javelin launchers in case the helicopters located at the base took off.
The 300 infantry will be left behind to protect outpost. Victor bought Javelin launchers and missiles for them. He also extracted the RPGs inside his inventory and gave them.
Victor completed his plan and everyone understood their assignments. The only thing they need now is the night. Once the sun sets, the gunshots and explosions will wake everyone from their sleeps.
