Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 077: Arena Semifinals

"It's a desert?" ask Arjuna as soon as the next match information map is announced. He saw 2D and 3D photos submitted to the Yildirim Team member group. There are many pictures of the sea of sand there.

"True, this is the condition of one of the landmasses outside the constellation," Dervis replied, noting the information on the Arjuna device, "It's a barren and hot place. Not just any creature can live there."

"Wow, amazing," Arjuna's response was brief.

"Hi, where's Ats?" solar asked his friends, "We must immediately come up with a strategy."

"That's it," Bayu pointed to Ats who had just arrived at the children's special room in the first year, "Died a few more people who were on their way here. Do we start with me."

"Come," Solar agreed with the idea. After all, the team members who have not come just follow his direction. He also asked his friends to stay. "As you can see, these are the details of our next arena. The battle this time will focus on light cavalry. We'll have a supporting vehicle in the virtual world later."

"What kind of vehicle?" Bayu pressed his salary, looking for the information he was looking for.

"Jip car" Ats replied, showing a photo of the car he had tried, "We'll get it at the command base and other guard posts."

"Hm," Arjuna paid attention to the details of the second round Arena's rules this time, "So, it's a game of snatching posts."

"You could say so," Ats nodded, "The more posts we get, the more support vehicles we have. But, our focus remains on mastering the enemy base."

"Alright," Solar clapped his hand once, "Let's put together a plan to defeat the fourth-year children."

"We're back, all of you!" exclaims Jemy started the Arena on this afternoon, "In the midst of the festive festival, among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, we will witness young talents who will continue the generation of the Zarah Clan in the future."

"Yes, we've watched a great match from every generation since this morning," Ari chimed in with her distinctive carefree face, “They've all shown their best performance throughout the preliminary round.”

“We will soon watch the next match, Bung Ari,” Jemy stroked his cheeks like an expert veteran who has witnessed many battles, “So, who is our next contestant?”

“Of course we will not forget the action of first-year children, right?” Ari gave a hint just to make small talk. Jemy also nodded. He said, “It was a very quiet intrusion until we didn't notice it, man. I was really fooled this morning. I thought it was Squad Zehin who would win.”

“Yes, that is,” Ari nodded slowly, “We will certainly look forward to the next amazing action that Squad Yildirim will show. However, it seems that they are going against a tough squad from the fourth year's force, right?”

“Yes, Squad Asman is very impressive,” Jemy squinted his eyes as if thinking hard, “They have excellent cooperation until the third year children are overwhelmed. So far, they are the team with the most points.”

Ari paused for a moment, then said the name of the squad that competed with Jemy in a compact, “Match between Team Yildirim and Squad Asman..!!!”

“Arena ...,” Jemy raised his hand high, then swung it down like shaking a sword, “Start!”

In the vast desert, precisely in one of the fortresses that stood there, Ats and his friends appeared almost simultaneously. They immediately moved into their respective positions. Operator reduced to three. The other two decided to take part in the field.

“Belati 1, move southward,” Ats give command as before, “Belati 2, take second guard post southeast.”

“Understanding!” answer everything compact.

Arjuna moves with his partner using a motor at high speed. They drove to an outpost where they would monitor the enemy's movements. The post is on a hill. If they did not hurry, it could be that the post was taken first by the brutal fourth-year children.

“Thank God the place was empty,” muttered Arjuna quietly, “Looks.”

“Be careful!” Ain, teammate Arjuna reminded. Arjuna nodded as well. He held his weapon well, ready to attack at any time. They also entered a tower. The place was very quiet and quiet. Up to the highest peak, they did not find a single enemy.

“Aman,” said Arjuna with a position that remains on standby, “Immediately prepare his sniper rifle. I'll keep an eye around.”

“Oke,” reply Ain sprightly. He opened the suitcase they had brought. A moment later, the youth took out a long-barreled weapon they had used since the Arena before.

“Negative,” reported Arjuna later, “It seems, the seniors have also not filled their outpost. We're one step ahead.”

“Stay alert,” Ain back remind, “They can come anytime. Try asking the conditions in other posts.”

“Alright,” Arjuna nodded briefly. He also contacted the command base where the operators served. His head was bearded several times, then reported the state of their post that was still safe.

“Ya, here is still very quiet,” said Arjuna lightly, “I will report immediately if there is a slight movement.”

As Arjuna said that, an explosive cannon shifted to the corner of his post. The cannon spewed its bullets in a very slow voice. In just a short time, Arjuna and Ain's post exploded and collapsed instantly.

“Arjun! Hi, Arjun!” call Ats panic. He heard the sound of the explosion before his communication was cut off. After several more calls and no reply, he concluded.

“Tim Mata 1 has been eliminated,” Ats told all other teams. The news shocked all the members of his team. However, it also adds vigilance to themselves. “Friends, our opponents are moving very fast. Be careful with their artillery.”
