Day 18
today we began the hunt for remaining troops of the big O. intel has it that there are three groups of rebels remaining scattered around the mainland. and we're going to hunt them down, one by one until we can be sure this war is definitely over.
we were air-lifted today from U.S.A to the old fortress on the island of Venice where the Soul Society, one of the rebel groups were garrisoned. it was magnificent. the fortress, with its elegant design and fearsome structure. it was really intimidating to stand before the might of the Venetian fortress. but on second thought, those garrisoned within weren't venetians at all. they were just simple footmen with indecent combat training. how hard could it possibly get?
we were to find that out as we closed in on the fortress. as we came into firing range, their leader voiced out. he demanded proper education for their women, and of course our retreat, or they would detonate the nuclear explosives rigged all around the fortress. so they were playing suicidal traps. well seemed like this time we were up against a group of morons. so we cracked up a simple plan. i was assigned a recon task along with a few others to go round the fortress unseen, and defuse this trap. the others would face them up front and fake a negotiation. it was perfectly executed. after the trap had been defused, we went in through the back while the rest stormed through the front. but we had to take care as there were civilians who weren't involved in the war.
it didnt take long before we took the fortress. as i said, such men with indecent training and horrible tacticians were simply too easy to defeat. they were more of terrorists than rebels. well their brains seem to be but their motives weren't.
tomorrow will be the last day of this war. the final hunt for the scattered rebels will begin at 0800 hours tomorrow and i wish it will be over and done with. this war has gone on too long. and i wish to return home as soon as possible. may the gods bless us that no men should lose their lives in this final battle.
