Vialis Village

The alarm bell rang on the desk beside my bed. I looked at the clock, and it told me 06.00. I pushed a button and looked down at my bare feet.

I still wore my uniform like the one I used when I went to kidnap Charlotte.

I made the bed then head to the shower.

I didn't need to summon anything this time because the accommodation is always available in the bathroom like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.

I took a quick breeze then dress up in my regular casual outfit; a grey shirt with black trousers coupled with black shoes. After I dressed up, I walked out of my room.

Taking the lift downstairs, I got greeted again by a different receptionist. This time, it was a male.

"Good Morning, General Galliard," He said by saluting to me.

"Morning, Do you see the other generals?" I asked him.

"Only General Meyer and General Blackwell, sir," He said respectfully.

"Where are they?" I asked him.

"In the officer's office, sir," He said.

"Thank you, lieutenant," I said to him.

I walked out of the building. There was two experimental fighter jet taking off: The X-02S and the CFA-44. I wondered who piloted them.

When I finally arrived at her office, I got greeted by her. She was wearing an ABU uniform, I wonder why.

"General Galliard, It been a long time, isn't it?" She said as she shook my hand.

"Long time? I've left you for only two weeks," I said to her as I sat on a chair in front of her.

"Whose daughter did you kidnap last night?" She asked me.

"Vialis village landlord's daughter," I replied.

"I see," She said as she poured coffee to two cups.

"Do you see the others?" I asked her as I grabbed the cup.

"General Blackwell? He is doing a recon now," She answered.

"Why? Isn't it the job for his subordinate," I comment.

"That man couldn't stand sitting in his office all day long," Meyer said.

"I see, what plane does he use?" I asked Meyer.

"Mig-31, Its speed is good for recon," She answered.

"Why not the SR-71?" I asked her.

"He has a taste for Russian aircraft, don't worry though, his aircraft could reach Mach 4.5 since it was modified and modernized a lot," She said.

"Ok, where is my group?" I asked her.

"General Nikitovich and Alexson were taking off just now. General Gabrilvitch has breakfast just now," She said.

"Taking off? With what?" I asked her.

"The X-02S Wyvern with "Archlight" railgun and the CFA-44 Nosferatu with "Inferno" All-Direction Multi Direction Missile," She replied.

"What is the warhead and bullet types of the bullet?" I asked her.

"Fusion Warhead and HEAT 30 mm Vulcan rounds," She said.

"Haha, what they're going to hunt? A dragon?" I laughed.

"Maybe, they said that they are going to the Taniel empire," She said.

"It must be General Alexson's idea," I said.

"What are you going to do now?" She asked.

"I'm going to Vialis village," I said as I left her room.

"Bye," She said as she continued to read the reports.

I left her room afterward. The receptionist greeted me again, I replied to her, but this time I requested some favor from her. I ask her for a particular VIP vehicle.

"Excuse me, Could you do me a favor?" I asked her.

"Sure, what is it?" She asked me.

"Could you prepare an armored VIP car for me?" I asked her.

"What is the type of car does sir want?" He asked me

"Anything as long it is armored," I said to her.

"Ok, someone will park it in front of the cafeteria for you, sir," She said to me.

"Thanks," I said as I left her.

I walked out of the building and saw jets were flying here and there. Although, I could see some of the infantry were having training with their MBT and IFV. We didn't have a navy because the one that has aquatic territory was the Tanerian empire, which could invade Soniel at any time.

I walked to the canteen and saw Cecile was still wearing her CADPAT uniform, and she was eating an onion soup with five pieces of toasted bread.

"Good morning Cecile," I said as I pulled a chair in front of her.

"Morning Wilson," She said.

"Why are you still in your uniform?" I asked her.

"Well, apparently after you left. We went to the Vialis village to enjoy the nightlife," She said.

"And?" I asked.

"We spent too much time, so I only get one hour of sleep," She said.

"That's too bad. Want to visit Vialis with me?" I asked.

"With what?" He asked me.

"With a car," I said.

"Sure, let's go," She said as she finished her breakfast.

"Let me get breakfast first, you better take a bath first Cecile," I said as I stood up and walked to the server.

"Sure, why not?" She said as she got another cup of coffee.

I grabbed the onion soup with three pieces of bread on the plate. When I looked back at the table, Cecile had disappeared.

I sat on the table, and a sergeant gave me an envelope and put it on my table. I started to eat my soup with my right hand and opening the envelope with my left hand. It contained a car key. The brand was BMW.

"I hope it is the seven series," I mumbled as I put the key in my pocket.

After breakfast was over, I put the plate aside and saw Cecile entering the canteen with a whiteish blue shirt and a light grey long skirt with light brown shoes. Her hair is in a ponytail, as always.

"Wilson, let's go," She said.

"Who will drive?" I asked her while holding the car key on my hand.

"Of course you will, I can't drive with a skirt," She said.

"You got your point," I said as I walked out of the cafeteria.

I walked outside and saw the BMW Alpina 7 XDrive. It was a very luxurious car. I wish I could sit on the back.

I walked to the driver seat, then I turned the engine to on. The engine was way smoother than the one in the Chevrolet. It is a luxury car, after all.

Cecile entered the back seat, and she enjoyed the massaging chair pretty thoroughly. The interior was more luxurious than the suburban after all the price was twice of suburban.

I drove out of the base to the Viali village. It was a 5 km ride, But the car is pretty comfortable, and the road was in good condition. I could drive all the way to Costellia if I want to.

"How is the massaging chair?" I asked her.

"It's good, the tablet is also pretty good function as well," She replied.

"Hehe, this thing is used to transport VIP," I said to him.

"Who?" She asked curiously.

"King, and other government officials," I answered.

"Do you think I am one?" Cecile asked me.

"Yes, you're always the queen in my heart," I teased her.

Her face turned red. She was trying to hide her embarrassed face. She buried her face under the seat to her flustered face.

"C'mon Cecile, I'm just joking. Don't take it too hard," I said as I started to move the car.

No response from her.

"Cecile?" I asked her again.

I drove the car to get out of the military base. The MBTs, IFVs, and APCs, were roaming around the base. When we arrived at the gate, the guards asked us to open the window.

"Good morning sir, may I see your ID?" He asked.

There was two ID that our base has. The digital ones who were kept on the smartphone and the physical ones. I gave them the card. They took some minutes to inspect us.

"Thank you, sir," He said as he opened the gates in front of us.

I drove the car down the hills, which already covered in asphalt and connected to the road, which was made from paving block to Vialis village.

"Cecile? You've gone to Vialis, right? How was it?" I asked.

"A rural village which depends on its agricultural resources. There was blacksmith, inn, and some market," Cecile explained with a hand gesture.

"I see," I said as I turned on the radio.

"What's your favorite Cecile?" I asked her.

"Song?" She asked me back.

"Yes," I answered.

"Songbird by Kenny G," She said to me.

"Yes, I will play it," I said as I swipe the hand with a hand gesture; thus, a saxophone played in the background.

"It synchronized pretty well with the cloudy dark sky," She said.

"Yeah, morning comes slower in autumn," I said to her.

"Why don't you open the sunroof?" I said to her.

"Sure," she said as she pushed a button.

The sunroof that was located on top of our head opened. The Orange light from the sun penetrated the glass.

"Do you see any movement from Charlotte's father?" I asked Cecile.

"Move like what? Mobilizing an army?" She asked me back.

"Yeah, like that," I explained to her.

"There wasn't anything too out of the box. The guard's patrol as usual as always," She said.

"Well, I think the news that his daughter has been kidnapped hasn't come to his ear," I gave my opinion to her.

"Wilson, back on the forest, did you see any dead bodies?" Cecile asked me.

"Why do you ask?" I asked her back.

"It's weird considering the intensity of the monsters that we don't saw any dead students," She commented.

"Now that you mention it, I saw a jacket full of blood in the forest," I said.

"Did you bring it?" She asked me.

"Nope, I smell it, and the blood smell was pretty strong. I left it in case that the jacket was left there as bait for the monster," I replied as I turned left to the Vialis village.

"I saw an unrecognizable remnant of a human body back in the forest, but I doubt that was the body of a student?" She said.

"Why so?" I asked.

"It was unrecognizable, and it stinks," She said.

"I see, what are we going to do today?" I asked him as I made the volume louder.

"I don't know, what's on your mind?" Cecile said to me.

"Going around the town then go to to the slave shop is what I have in my mind," I said to her.

"What are you going to do in the slave shop?" She asked me.

"Trying to buy Natalie with our leftover money," I said as I opened the money pouch.

"Is it enough?" She asked me.

"I don't know, but if it isn't, operation Servum Liberantum is a go," I said.

"Have you ask General Meyer for advice?" Cecile asked.

"Not yet," I replied as I turned right to Vialis village.

I saw the village on the horizon. The village was surrounded by wheat and cornfield. Weirdly enough, I see many sunflower plants.

When I arrived at the village, I parked the car in front of one of the houses. We got out of the car, then walked to our first destination, which was the food market.

We walked to a nearby footstall, which selling a baked potato with melted cheese on top of it.

"How much does it cost?" Cecile asked as she pointed her finger to the food.

"3 copper coins each," The female vendor said.

"I take two of them," Cecile said as she handed her four copper coin.

"Sorry, but I need two more coins," She said to us.

"Sorry, it seems that my master made a mistake. Big apologies, ma'am," I said as I handed her two more copper coins.

"No problem, here you go," She said as she gave me the baked potato with a spoon.

"Thanks," Cecile said as she grabbed the potato.

I ate the potato slowly as I walked into the village. The village was pretty much alive since a lot of villagers were mostly on the field working in their field.

"Do you have some news, Cecile?" I asked her as I chew the potato remains.

"What kind of news?" She asked me.

"Anything," I replied.

"Famine misstruck the Windblows town," She said to me.

"Why?" I asked

"Apparently, it was a pest problem," She said.

"You need some pesticide if I'm not wrong," I said.

"You're right," Cecile said to me.

"Where do you want to go next??" I asked her.

"Anywhere," She said.

"Weapon shop it is," I said to Cecile as I walked away from the food stall.

When we entered the blacksmith shop, we weren't surprised because it was smaller than the ones in the Costellia town region. We were greeted by the blacksmith.

"Good morning, how may I help you?" She asked us.

"Thank you, but we are just window shopping," I said to him.

"I see," She said as she return to the chair in the back of the store.

I looked around every display in the shop and found nothing unusual. Cecile suddenly called me.

"Wilson, take a look at this," she said as she pulled my clothes.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"Look at this," Cecile said as she grabbed something from the cabinet.

It was a Steyr AUG A3-CQC Carbine rifle. I inspected the rifle, and the barrel was clean, and the condition was all good except that the magazine was empty.

"Sir, the one that you hold is the weapon of a hero," He said to me.

"Ok, I see. What is its name?" I asked him as I continued to inspect the barrel.

"I forgot it, but he gave me that thing as a self-defense weapon," she said to me.

"I see after he gave you this thing. Is it working?" I asked her.

"It works for some time, I used it when orc army invaded our village," She said.

"Then you know how to use it?" I asked her.

"Sure, pull the trigger and reloaded the magazine, oops looks like I talk too much bullshit to you," She said to me.

"Magazine? Are you familiar with this thing?" I asked her.

"Honestly, yes," She said.

"What does this weapon called?" I interrogated her again.

"He said that that's called an assault rifle," She said as she grabbed the weapon forcefully from my hand.

"Are you from the hero party?" I asked her.

"Yes," She said as she put the weapon back to its place.

"[Ultimate Summon]," I chanted as a magazine appeared on my hand.

"What is that?" She said.

"May I borrow that rifle?" I asked her.

"Sure, I think," she said to me as she gave me the rifle.

I dumped the old magazine and replaced it with the magazine that I summoned with my magic. Then I choke the handle.

"Here, ma'am, you may use it now," I said to her.

"What are you doing? How did you know how to operate that rifle? Are you from another world?" She asked me as she grabbed the rifle.

"Just use it, I modify so it uses your mana instead of bullets," I said to her.

"Ok, let's go outside," She said to me.

She turned the sign on the store to "Closed," then she walked out of the shop. She headed to the nearest grassland and searched for a magical beast.

"Kid, what is your name?" She said as she slung the weapon on his back.

"Wilson Galliard, ma'am," I replied to her as I walked to the BMW.

"And what is your name?" She said as she poked Cecile back.

"Kuzmich Cecile Gabrilvitch," Cecile said to me as she opened the trunk of the BMW.

"Haha, I see. The hero always says that Wolf beastkin always has the same name as a Russian, even though I don't know where Russian is," She said.

"Haha, He is surely from another world," I laughed with her as I grabbed an HK416 and an MG5 from my the trunk.

"Wow, where do you get that?" She asked me.

"From the base near here, you can come there and joined us. Just tell them it's the command from General Galliard," I said to her as I gave a rifle to Cecile's hand.

"Thanks, finally I can leave that blacksmith job and return to my old life," She said to me.

"Haha, what is your name and how long you've been with the heroes?" I asked her to decide what position should she fill.

"My name is Christine Hasslebrown. I've been with the hero for five years since he returned to his world," She said to me.

"Ok, nice to meet you. Captain Hasslebrown," I said to her.

"Hehe, General Galliard," She laughed at me.

We walked to nearby grassland and saw a horde of lions. I put the magazine belt on the MG5, then I prone while deploying my bipod.

"Isn't that an MG5?" Christine asked me.

"Yes, how do you know?" I asked her back.

"It's the favorite weapon of my friend," She said to me.

"Oh, I see," I said as I pulled the trigger on the MG5.

A barrage of bullet flew to the lion direction. A loud burst sound could be heard around the village while I fired the machine gun. The bullet successfully killed 3 of them since I fired the MG randomly. For more extended range, I told Cecile to engage them.

"Firing," Cecile said as she fired her HK416 to the lion horde. A barrage of 5.56 bullet flew from the barrel of her rifle. The lion fell down one by one, thus continued by the burst from Christine's AUG.

"Firing," She said as a magic bullet flew from the barrel of her rifle. It is very bright, so I won't suggest her to use it at night operation. So I summon a suppressor that could hide the lights so it won't be the same as the tracer bullet.

"You need a suppressor for that rifle, the bullet is bright as hell," I said as I handed her the suppressor by using my left hand.

"Thanks," She said as she attached the suppressor to the barrel of her rifle.

She continued to shoot the rifle, but this time the brightness of her magic bullet was gone thanks to the suppressor. She holstered her rifle on her back then she smiled at us.

"Thank you, I will head to your base ASAP," She said to me.

"Roger," I replied to her.

She walked away to her house. We continued our sightseeing in Vialis village. We agreed to visit the slave shop after this. So we walked away from the grassland back to the Vialis village. We kept the weapon on our back since we were going to hostile territory.

After some time which was spent by walking, We finally arrived at the bandit fortress, aka slave shop. The fort was surrounded by 4 guards tower on each side and equipped by Anti-air defenses on every wall. The guard tower had two cannons each. My forte? This fortress was the primary defense structure of this village. If this fortress is destroyed, the village defense will be crippled severely.

We walked to a big giant gate which was closed at that time. 5 guards were guarding that entrance, and on the left side of the entrance, there were 3 slave carriages parked there.

"Good morning, How may I help you?" The guards asked politely despite his scary look.

"Good morning, sir, I want to buy some sex slave," I said based on my calculation since Natalie was a beauty.

"Sure, right this way," he said as he opened that brown gate.

We walked at the fortress and saw many nobles on their noble clothing were browsing the slaves for their collection. The guard asked me again.

"What kind of slave does sir want? Does sir have any kind of fetishes or have any specific request?" He asked me again.

"My master was searching for a slave with brown hair and young enough. Maybe about 16-18 years old, do you have one?" I asked him.

"Oh, of course, we do have one, sir. Even we just get a limited stock from somewhere special," he said to me politely.

He guided us to one of the fortress walls. The inside had some sort kind of dungeon feel on it. A lof of fire torches was placed on the stone wall. The iron bars were splitting between the slaves and us.

He finally guided us to the sex slave section, which contained many young girls on it. He brought us to the first cell.

"Sir, this might be the one you're looking for. She is 16 years old and still virgin.," he said as he pointed to a blonde hair girl on the prison.

"Haha, I might want this one, but my master won't," I laughed.

"Ok, moving to the next one. We have 18 years old from royal blood. She was found in the middle of the forest," he said as he pointed his hands to a black-haired girl slave.

"Considering my master taste, I think this one won't fit him," I said to him.

"Sir, your master seems to be a very extraordinary person. Don't worry, though, we have a particular stock right here. 16 years old and fresh from the academy, she is also a POW, so you will find it beneficial to own her," He said as he pointed his hands at a brown haired slave who was wearing glasses.

"I think my master will like this one, how much does it cost?" I asked him.

"Usually, a slave with this kind of quality is priced at 50 platinum coins, but for you sir, I will give you a special discount, so it only cost 40 platinum coins," He said.

"Could I ask less, my master only has 20 platinum coins," I begged her.

"Sorry sir, For that price, you will only get a forty-year-old slave," He said to me.

"I see," I said to him.

Suddenly the girl that we chose stood up. She shook the bars violently while screaming our name, asking for our help. Stupid girl, in my opinion.

"Wilson, Wilson, Help me!!" She shouted.

"Do you know her?" The guard asked me with a suspicious tone.

"No, I don't. Do you know her, Cecile?" I asked Cecile to play along.

"No, I don't know her either. Who is she?" She asked.

"You're Kuzmich Cecile Gabrilvitch and Wilson Galliard," Natalie shouted from behind the iron bars.

"You definitely know her, don't you? Follow me now!" The guard shouted menacingly.

Cecile was surprised by his order, but I kept myself calm because I knew the worst that could happen. We were whispering in front of the guard.

"What should we do now? Stupid Natalie," Cecile said to me.

"Just play along, for now, If there is a window, we will take it," I encouraged her as I put my MG5 in front of my shoulder.

The guard guided us outside of the building. I was looking for a window for escaping, and luckily, I saw a slave carriage going to enter the fortress, and I decided to take the chance.

"Cecile, Do you see that gate? Make a run for it in 5 seconds," I said as I put five on my hand.

"Roger," Cecile said as she put the HK416 in front of her shoulder.

I flip my finger one by one until the gate opened then I gave Cecile the command to move, "MOVE!!!!" I said as I dashed while firing the MG5 at the guard behind us.

The guards were dumbfounded for a second until they went for their own combat post. Some of them were climbing the guard tower while shooting us with their arrow.

"Cecile, Give them suppressing fire!!!" I said as I swept the guard tower with my MG5 while making a dash for the gate.

"Roger," She said while shooting at the archers who were firing their arrow at us.

Bunch of brass casing raining from my machine gun. We were successfully getting out of the fortress, but not successfully dodge the projectile from the cannon. The cannon were raining down a bunch of cannonballs at us.

"Shit," I said as I move zig-zag to dodge the cannon.

"Our suppressive fire is useless against their wall," Cecile said as she followed me from my back.

I grabbed the car key from my back to turn on the engine using a button on the remote. Our car was close, and I opened the door with the key. I got in it, then Cecile hit the gas as hard as she could.

"Damn, we are safe for now," I said from the back seat.

"Well, not yet," as she rotated the stirring wheel violently as a cannon landed beside us.

"Holy shit, how far is the range of that cannon?" I complained as I opened the window to see the cannons that were still firing in our direction.

Suddenly something struck the cannon from afar. It was followed by a loud explosion and a shockwave in the sky. Suddenly our radio tuned to a specific frequency.

"Helos 1, Rifle," A voice said from the radio.

Suddenly a Gripen flew on top of us. It continued to fire it's cannon to the castle direction. Another Gripen fired a missile.

"Helos 2, Rifle," Another voice said from the radio.

The missile struck the fortress wall, thus crippling the whole defense system. Luckily, it didn't break anything except for the guard's tower, which had a large hole now.

"This is Helos squadron, General are you ok?" He asked me.

"I'm okay for now, thanks," I said as the Gripen flew as low as possible.

"Ok, RTB for now," The Gripens flew away from us and flew back to the base.

"Wilson, what we should do now?" Cecile asked me.

"I don't know. RTB for now," I said as I turned on the massaging feature of the seat.

"Roger," Cecile said as she drove back to the base.
