Chapter 20: Meeting the JSDF part 1: The battle of Italica

A new Arc in the story has begun we will be seeing the JSDF. Theme for the intro of the new arc in the story above.

"We need to play our cards right. We can't risk a war with a power on the same technological level as us." Koichiro Hazama Commander of the JSDF to the prime minister in a report.

Falmart. Special region. December 29th. 2014 Japan time.

An adventure was what Itami could describe his ordeal as. A gate had opened in Ginza Tokyo when he was heading to get his sweet sweet manga and it ruined it but it didn't matter anymore he was in a fantasy land wind a blue haired and frankly powerful mage, a hot blond elf, and a gothic Lolita girl.

He was in one of his manga. It was like a dream. They had even taken down a dragon. They were heroes.

Lelei had said that they could sell the dragon scales for a fair amount of profit. Itami and his recon team didn't mind adding some more money to their paychecks so they went with the plan.

Their Humvees were rolling towards the city. The walls had been partially damaged and soon enough a Redhead knight on the walls yelled down "State your business."

Falmart. On the road to Italica. December 29th. 1 AEE.

I watched as our convoy began to make its way to Italica. Our sleazy drones had kept an eye on the JSDF who had made it to Italica first.

The weather was fucking awful. It had begun to snow and the roads to Italica were shit. Several of our Humvees got stuck in the rapidly piling snow and we had to dig them out. If things kept up at this rate we would arrive at Italica by nightfall when it would be attacked by those bandits.

Looks like this diplomatic mission turned into a cleanup operation.

I kept constant taps on what the drone operators were seeing so I could have a good idea on how to conduct negotiations. I honestly wanted to see what kind of people were the humans from the other side of the gate and if they were like my people.

Based on the updates I got they were fraternizing with the locals and were trying to sell what seemed like dragon scales. Those things were worth a lot based on what intelligence had told me which made me wonder if they were selling the scales just to make extra money or if they were pay shit by their superiors.

"So if things go bad can we resort to using forceful means." Asked the official from the pentagram. "Well things won't go bad unless one of them or one of us fucks up so make sure non of you fuck up." I said coldly to the representatives and soldiers in the transport trucks and Humvees.

"Italica is in sight, gentlemen's and there's a shit load of gunfire and screaming bandits coming from it" joked the driver in the lead Humvees through the radio. "Should we wait for air support so the pentagram can just douse the attackers in the fear toxin and give them mental trauma or do you boys wanna go shoot some bandits." I asked our men through the radio.

The response was a collective "Lets fuck them up." I chuckled. "Ok get on 50 cals and get ready to disembark." I said on the radio.

Things were about to get fun real fast.

Falmart. Italica. December 29th.665 imperial time.

Pina quickly dodge the blade of one of the bandits who had manage to make it on the wall. She quickly dispatched the man by slicing his chest open and then kicking him off the walls. The battle hadn't been going well at all for her forces.

Her rose order while well trained were few compared to most pf the defenders who comprised civilian militia. The battle was growing desperate. She had expected an attack on the south wall which is why she had sent the men in green to defend it however the east wall was the place where the main bandit attack struck.
