Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 074: First Arena

"Eye 1," call Ats with a remote communication device. He stared at the digital map at the center of the command base. The map shows the topography of the entire mech-shaped area of the hills. A friend accompanied him to research the map.

"Positive" answered Arjuna briefly. "They walk on path A."

"Understanding," replied Ats who then again asked, "What about the others."

"Positively," replied Team Eye 4, "I saw them between paths C and D."

"Negative," the 2nd Eye Team closest to the command base reported. That means, the enemy is still far from reach.

"Here is also negative" reports Mata 3, "Oh, no. Positive, positive. I just saw them show up on track C-1."

"Do they use the same strategy?" muttered Ats who was then replied by his friend named Ali, "Possibly so. They seem to underestimate us."

"It's only natural," Ats nodded in agreement, but remained vigilant and thought of other possible probabilities, "They managed to hunt us down in the first ten minutes of last year. Our headquarters were surrounded from all directions so there was not the slightest chance of resistance."

"This time is different" said Ali determinedly, "We will defeat them all."

"Yes," Ats nodded back, "We beat them today."

"Positive!" mata 2 exclaimed, "Their eyes are already in sight."

"Hint!" one word of orders from Ats was immediately responded by all of the Shooting Teams, "Download their leader!"

"Target locked!"

"Target locked!"

"Target locked!"

"Target locked!"

The snipers were almost at the same time. Ats stared at the slow-moving red dots on his map. When the dots reached the expected places, the young man from the Asir Family gave the order, "Shoot!"

Without a sound like a smooth wind, bullets spewed out. Iron pans glided quickly, darting towards the target. In an instant, the leaders of the enemy forces were eliminated. They came out of the mech just like that making the rest of the team shocked.

"Invade!" exclaim Solar who led the Attack Team in the field. Together with his team, he quickly finished off the enemy in C-1. After recharging the ammunition, he led his comrades to attack the enemy forces closest to them.

A fierce firefight took place in the territory of the Yildirim Squad. The Mata 2 and Mata 3 teams helped the attacking team to eliminate troublesome enemies. With good cooperation. They cleaned the area quickly.

"Wow! The brothers! Look, Brothers!" exclaimed the host, "Regu Yildirim from the first year managed to finish off all his enemies like lightning. It was an amazing ambush."

"Hi, Ari," called the other host, "Didn't their performance have improved considerably compared to last semester?"

"It's still an opening, Ari," Jemy patted his partner on the shoulder, "Let's see, how far the first-year children's development goes."

"Right as well," Ari nodded in agreement, "Look! There'll be more exciting shows after this."

"The enemy is back!" report Arjuna from where he was, "It seems, they exerted all their strength."

"They'll be over the border in less than five minutes" Team Mata 4 reported, "Our main force will run out if they come."

"Clean," reported a commander from the Assault Team, "All enemies in the area have been eliminated. We're ready to accept the next command."

"Good," said Ats who then immediately gave the direction, "Dagger 1, Dagger 2, survive at point C and point A! Eye 2, Eye 3, move to post D and post E! Help Daggers 1 and 2 resist enemy attacks. Eye 1, Eye 4, keep an eye on the enemy's movements."

"Understand!" exclaim all members of the compact squad.

"Dagger 3," called Ats after he finished giving the defense instructions, "Report your condition."

"We made it deeper," reported Team Dagger 3, "The enemy is moving forward in unison unaware of our whereabouts."

"Be careful!" asserted Ats, "Capture the enemy's command base after their main forces advance entirely. We'll hold them off as long as possible."

"Understand!" Team Dagger 3 replied no less firmly, "We will seize their headquarters as soon as possible."

"I saw them," Solar who was at defense point C exclaimed, "Everything, prepare for battle!"

A shootout occurred. The enemy invaded with twice as many troops. In the division of its members, they focus on protectors and attackers. They don't even make reconnaissance and sniper units.

"They're after medical members," Solar pointed out his keen observation, "Supporting Team, be careful as you progress."

"Our protectors are eliminated," reported one from Team Dagger 1, "The enemy is starting to dec—"

The man had not had time to finish the report when a bullet pierced his head. It was eliminated instantly. His figure instantly disappeared before Solar.

"You!" Solar patted the shoulder of the one left of his team, "Take this point until I get back. I'll show those seniors how the Zarah Clan can maximize its potential."

"Eh, what?!" the boy did not protest at all because Solar's body disappeared. He uses the technique of zarahian to hit his opponent. In the last semester, something like that couldn't be done.

"Solar, don't leave your position!" prevent Ats from command base. Unfortunately, his words were not touched at all by Solar and instead replied, "Silent! They'll break through the defense soon if we don't move fast."

Ats growled in annoyance. He stared at the only blue circle at point C. It was a sign for the only person left there. That point will definitely disappear soon if Solar is eliminated. 

"Shais …!" Ats let out a long sigh, "What did he think of when he had a supporter guard the defensive point. Better he step back and join Team Dagger 2."
