Day 13

it was yesterday, we marched through the mountain pass like a dead army towards Mathscow. many lacked rest. and we knew the battle that lie ahead will be apocalyptic. into battle with one of the biggest powers of the enemy without ample rest sounds almost suicidal. but orders are orders. even if we were ordered to jump off a cliff we would have to. and so we marched in the dead of the night, on and on until dawn when we arrived to a perfect good morning. a great plain separated us. on the other side, they were all entrenched and further back some machine gun bunkers. morons like i thought they were, one grenade lobbed into the trench and thats it.

and so it began. the battle against the third power of the enemy. perhaps the strongest of them all. it was almost like routine. this time, the enemy were casters. which explains the many formations carved into the ground. formations that looked like circles but with many lines intersecting it. once we took positions and started firing, the formations suddenly lit up. then the skies turn a sick green and it started raining x's & y's. each one of these exploded upon hitting the ground. it was terrifying as we shot wildly at the x-y rain that were falling toward us. seemed ages before this cleared off. casualties couldn't be avoided. however we never let our spirits down. they think our morale would be shattered easily. well too bad they didnt count their algebra.

as other magic were casted such as a flaming ball of numbers and a cumulative frequency curved illusion blade, their blood started to spill too. when they were casting spells, they had to stand still and do some chanting. thats when our lucky break came. shooting them as they chant was simply too easy. but once one finished chanting, it would get painful for us. so we had to pick them off quickly with one shot one kills. both sides spilled massive amounts of blood. or rather our men were incinerated. but after a long long fight, we emerged victorious. heavy casualties were suffered. our company was literally reduced by a third.

then we were devastated by another order. the privateers fighting in other parts on the mainland were heavily outnumbered and we were split into 2 platoons and sent to different states. i was sent further inland to China. as we were air-lifted to China at around 0020 hours we got a birds eye view of the other provinces. charred by constant bombardment were the remains of those lands.

we landed on the outskirts of China today at 0800 hours where we were issued an order to rendezvous with the privateers who had backed into a bunker as they were heavily outnumbered. after some briefing, we headed out to the last known location of the chinese. well it took no time finding them since chinese tend to speak so damn loudly. i didnt think i could speak half as loudly even if i screamed into a microphone.

after mere minutes of hunting we located their position. my company was rather surprised to discover that the chinese were only a group of militia. they werent proper soldiers at all. it made me wonder how can these privateers lose to men that had had no proper military training. well perhaps i should have thought twice. half way down the fight i was hit in the right shoulder. unable to support my rifle without my right hand i couldn't kill anyone and i could get killed. so i was brought back to bunker where i was treated for my wounds and given rations. no surprise when i found my company returning to the bunker laughing away at the difficulty in defeating the chinese.

tomorrow we will be split once again. i will be moved far out to the eastern coast. now there it is just the remnants of the great O army that we have left to destroy. 2 of the great powers have been defeated. now we are just waiting for those back at U.S.A to report their victory.
