Defense Against The Zombies OPEN

[Albaie]

It was a cold dark night as he patrolled through the merchant district of Dubrack's Town. There was a few streetlights but due to this being the merchant district not many people were meant to be out so there were long distances between them. His partner Private Richardson had gone to a brothel for the night after the first hour of their patrol. He thought he saw someone moving in the far off streetlight. He raised his rifle. " Hello anyone there. " He shouted but no response. He stopped and dropped to one knee. There it was again in the nearest streetlight but then it was gone. He heard a voice cackling through his radio which he raised to his ear. " All patrols be on the ready there is unidentified enemies in the city. " The man on the other side of the radio went. He put back down his radio and stood. " Three seconds then I will rake this street and get you. " He shouted. He heard some more static and raised his radio. " Enemy are zombies I repeat zombies retreat back to your barracks to prepare for evacuation procedures. " The man was shouting. Private Thomas looked up there was a man in a fancy suit running at him. He looked dead it was a zombie he was sure. He tried to raise his gun and shoot but only got one bullet through its foot before it leaped pulling him down to the ground.

" Zombies " The Emperor screamed " You must be kidding me April Fool's isn't it, good one little brother. " The Emperor stood in front of the closed council who were all sat in there nightclothes it was a shock to be called together this early.
" It is my liege " The elderly Eternal High Admiral stood " I faced one down on my way here from my house " He continued raising his sword which was splattered in what looked like brains. " Already I have sent your cousin William and the 2nd Battlefleet to join up with a international taskforce. Right now we need to begin preparing for war with our own dead. The army and navy will begin evacuation while the IAF will provide close air support. Meanwhile the Imperial Guards and Royal Legion will being sorties into the city. " Duke Mark finished to which the Emperor stood.
" Someone bring me a whisky and my jousting armor I don't want to get bitten " The Emperor shouted at a page " Now men go get ready for one weird war. "

[Kirav]

Escarda, Great Kirav

"VÁCMIDYRÞAR!" yelled Lieutenant Larin Ésrivan. "HAILFIRE!"

Upon his order, a blanket of machine gun fire spread out in front of his platoon, its orange-hot weft tearing through four lines of the approaching zombie onslaught. But still they came. Riddled with bullet holes, their torsos reembling wedges of swiss cheese left behind a refirgerator for a decade or two, they advanced nonetheless.

"Give 'em another round, lower and longer this time!" His men obeyed, adjusting their machine guns and then firing, unleashing another channel of lead that mowed under the legs of the zombies, causing them to fall in heaps before the oncoming horde. Undeterred, more zombies climbed over the wall of their dead comrades and dragged their putrid, reänimated corpses ever closer to the line of Kiravian gunners. Ésrivan ordered round after round after round, until the magazines had given him their last. He covered his men's retreat by gunning a few zombies down with his rifle before fleeing along with them to the evac point.

As the evacuation helicopter rose into the air, Ésrivan slowly found himself facing the total ruin that had befallen the Federacy's third-largest city. Flames rose from its skyscrapers, bodies dotted its streets, and the Ascúin River ran leather-brown with infected blood.

Kiravia was fighting hard for its survival, but it was losing. Valëka, Escarda, Saar-Silverda, Cartona...all had been laid waste, witht the zombies and their contagion pressing ever outward into the interior of Great Kirav, Kiravia Minor, and Arenica.

The other colonies had been quarantined, but analysts predicted that it was only a matter of time before they too fell, leaving only the island colonies. The Federal government and a few thousand select individuals had already been evacuated to some seven remote islands called Quarantine Zones, heavily-defended, stringently sterile, isolated isles where the genetic and cultural heritage of Coscivian civilisation would be preserved. Perhaps in the end it would only be these islands and the outer colonies that survived. Perhaps it would be that the only thing that saved Kiravia was its size. But there were eight million men like Ésrivan who were willing to die to keep that from happening.

[Kaccara]

As the world is dangerously over-populated the government of Kaccara look at this zombie extermination program with favour.

It is in fact a continuation of unoficial government policy, so is infact rather handy.

It is odd how so many dissedents seem to get infected?

[Kyapo]

As our national animal is the zombie, we would like to apologies for this little hiccup.

I'm sure it will all be fine. They are very nice once you get used to them, honest!

No need to go around shooting them. Just lock them in the shed and they will soon calm down.

[Albaie]

The Emperor was tired he laid against a wall this street was clear and there a lot of men he was safe for a while. His page brought up a glass of whiskey for him which he took fast then stood back up. Since early morning he had been leading sorties into the city this must be his sixth. He had claimed too many of the enemies to remember. He had broken two swords already this morning and his armor was covered in scratches. The horse he had brought down had been killed early on as had many of the troops horses. The 1st Imperial Lancers who he rode down with and now joined up with the 13th Imperial Guard Marines but they had suffered huge losses of the 2,000 from both regiments only about 700 remained. Every time there was a battle there were losses and then they had to be put down and then burned on fires. He looked up into the sky he could see dozens of these fires lighting the sky as well as one down in the slums where the infection was the worst where a huge raging fire was burning down the wooden houses but yet no soldiers could get in the last two sorties had barely even made it out with a platoon left. " A sword boy we march on again. " The Emperor shouted to which Alex Drackton his new squire brought up. The Emperor lifted his shield as well. The last messenger who had come down had informed of how all communications with Abia were lost, the colonies had successfully shut down the major cities and towns but that the Advar had risen up again. There were less and less civilians met on the sorties now he just hoped they had escaped earlier.

[Survivor State]

General and President Ethan O'Neil isn't happy about his new role as the leader of the dying nation. He may is very young for a gernal with 34 years and ever younger for a president, but he does both very well. He was ranked up, from a captian to a general, by the former President Sean A. Williams, for defending his life. But he failed after all. A Z bit President Williams and everything O'Neil could do, is killing the Zombie who bit the President. Before O'Neil redeemed President Williams, the President made an last announcement. In it, he declared the brave general, who was the last survivor of the squad, which was ordered to defense President Williams against the Zombies, as the new President of Survivor State. Live on TV, former captian and recent gerneral and president, Ethan O'Neil killed President Williams and undertook his role of a president.
He is spitting on the ground. Now, this all means nothing. Just in serveral hours almost the whole population of Survivor State died and were resurected as Zombies. And now he and 30% of the national Army is defending the capital: Safezone Alpha. A Sargeant of a squad under his order come to him.
"President O'Neil, the Zs break through the first line. We're almost out of 5.56s and our Snipers have only a few 7.62s left. We cannot hold the line any longer. We have to fall back."
"How could we? The north and the west sides are even in a worser condition, so how could we, the east side, fall back? If we fall back now, our line will fall, and with it Safezone Alpha. We are 30% of the army, we are 3 million soliders. How could we fail?"
"Sir, without ammonition..."
"Then we'll beat them with our guns or batons, or even katanas from our region Anime. How about that Sargeant?"
"This is suicide."
"We wont commit suicide soldier. Not like several of the civilians. We have the drill and the skill to survive that."
"But we just almost won 10 years ago against the horde. We may are prepared now, but the government reacted to late."
"You know, I was a soldier at that time. 24 years old, just a private. It may was just a little infection with 35% of infected in the population, but it was the hell. It was the first time zombies appeard. All we knew, was just from videogames and movies. But now, you have the knowledge from first or second hand. And the government was prepared. You all are armoured and armed. We may don't have enough ammo, but hell yeah, we'll beat those suckers before we die."
"Sir..."
Sudenly the fire of several M40A5s interuped their conversation.
"Damn it, they passed the first line. Soldiers, go to your positions. First group, check your M24s. Second group, prepare your M14s. Third group, get your damn M249s ready. Last group, take your M4s and AKs and defend the M249s. Snipers, keep doing what are you doing."
Ethan takes his G36 and joins the last group, waiting for the undead.

His force had been getting pushed back steadily since midday right the way back up to the palace. He could barely stand anymore. Somehow the old palace gate had been broken in when he was out on a sortie. Some heavy armed guardsmen who had been in the city had gone rouge and tried to break in and loot the Imperial Palace in the confusion. They had been cut down but not before they had broken down the gate. They had dragged out some tables and cupboards from the Servants quarters but it wasn't enough the zombies were still getting over them and getting men on this side of the barricade. He may be the Emperor who had cut his way through his own people in the Civil War but this was different these were men who he served alongside some he had grown up with some who had taught him when he was young. There was 500 men with him now some milling about in the courtyard while some were up on the walls manning the heavy machine guns and artillery there. " Messenger coming up " Came a shout they were the only non infected allowed in anymore since martial law had been declared an hour ago.
He looked over the barricade sure enough there was a man running in the Imperial Communications Corp uniform behind him were ten zombies. " Get him in lads " The Emperor cried leaping the barricade with a few others who ran down the hill. They cut through the zombies within a few seconds. " Man what is it. " The Emperor said and then took a message from the man's shaking hands.

communication tower will fall within the next hour this will be our final messenger the tower itself has caught fire. please send morse messages from now on. may god save us in our darkest hour we have fallen. Colonel Alex Robertson Commandant of the IBC tower.

The Emperor read the messy handwritten note then looked up at the man who had a revolver raised to his head
" Sorry my lord I was bitten may God bless our souls. " The man said before the revolver went off and the mans head exploded.
" Goddammit so now we have lost all comms get the bodys on the fire and get this to our comms room. " The Emperor finished handing the note to a page as he went over the barricade. Without the IBC tower a message couldn't pass in or out of Albaie and they would now have to rely on older traditional methods.

[Albaie]

He felt bad leaving the Imperial Palace. At least he had moved all the items of huge historic value to the vaults and every room in the palace had been locked. He locked back down the tunnel there was about 25 men each one Imperial Guards. He remembered the moment when they had broken through the main door. There had been only 200 soldiers left tasked with packing up the palace. They had finished moving anything relating to previous heads of state and had locked up the remaining floors and barricaded all stairwells and doors. He had given permission to his family to leave, them and the Closed Council and their familys who were leaving for Maras with plans to then sail to New Albaie where High Prince Liam had killed any zombies. The rest of the soldiers had lead the servants, slaves and any other civilians in the Palace across the wasteland of Dubrack's Town in an attempt to reach a waiting fleet which would then sail to New Albaie where they were planning to rebuild the army and then retake Rutenburg and then defeat the Advar rebellion then sail for Albaie to retake that then the other islands. He had been planning to then lead his 200 men across the wasteland towards the Ruten Bridge where they would join up with the High Dukes forces. The first break in that plan was when some of the zombies pushed out of Dubracks Town by the fire led a mass push across the bridge and the bride had to have been blown up. He then planned to just wait out in the bottom floor of the Palace until the helicopter that was to come back and do a last recon came back but then they came. It was the main bulk of the zombies pushed out of Dubracks Town came storming up the hill. They held them at the main gate for a while then they had held them at the main door into the actual Palace. Finally they had pushed them back then. 30 men including him ran for the tunnel out towards the Black Forest through the Battle Room. 7 fell as they scrambled across the pitch black Battle Room with only torches. The bravest of the 23 left stood there only 3 of them against hundreds maybe thousands. In that narrow tunnel entrance they must have held them back for a long time. He couldn't believe it two thousand years of Dubrack's lines history were left in the that palace he just hoped they never moved off the bottom floor and that they never found the vaults. He was carrying Dubracks own sword in his left hand the pistol his grandfather had used in World War One and the man in front of him carried the Imperial Flag passed down over all these centuries. His hope was to be able to track down the other men who had left the city earlier in the week with the civilians but they were more likely long gone.

[Goskazev]

He rode his horse with the entire GBSAU 3rd Mounted Regiment,the Zombies has reached Goskazev's border. He is Commander Sergei Husaars,he was ordered to defend the border city Alogra with 2.000 elite cavalry,with half of them wield AT Rockets and AKs,and half more wields PKPs.

3 hours later,they reached Alogra and reveals that the city walls almost breahed. And then "DAMN HELL YOU MOTHERFUCKING ZOMBIES! I'LL KICK YO' ASS OUTTA HERE !. Sergei shocked but relaxed not long after realizing a soldier,armed with a machete and a gun fights off and kills 15 zombies alone. "What the hell are you doin' here Private? Wheres your unit? Ask the commander to the Private " They are all dead sir,im with the 1st MF Battalion,sir,im Private Groz Floyd" said the lone soldier," Shit,another troops of zombies arrived. Get your damn weapons Floyd,we gotta hold these Zoms off" and the troops fight off the zombies with Commander Sergei,who shoutes"URA" after killing one zombie with his gun-sword GS889. The 3rd Cavalry managed to hold all the zombies,but,when all personnels accounted for,the Commander really awfully shocked,the3rd Cavalry,which had 2.000 soldiers,after they fought the zombies,they only got 150 Soldiers,their dead had commit suicide after bitten by the zombies. Floyd survives,and receives promotion to Master Sergeant for his bravery.

The Goskazev Homeland Security Council,after heard the battle report at Alogra,which claimed 197.500 lives,declared an anti-zombie campaign by researching cures,recruiting soldiers as security,and producing many more GUN-SWORDs. The Leader,also declaring his rejoin to the GBSAU.

[Albaie]

Captain Edgared poked his head over the stone wall. " Sir a stone cottage not sure if anyone inside windows were blocked. " He whispered gesturing over the low stone wall.
" Good work Captain lead on " The Emperor replied he pushed his way out of the bush where he had been waiting for Edgared to get back from a scouting trip. The other 18 men were coming out of their hiding holes and leaping the wall. There was a large empty field on a hill and down in the bottom in the valley one lonely stone cottage. They half crouched ran across the field. Each man had a different variety of the LY21 Assault Rifle and a LY46 Hellhammer and a LY47 Stormhammer. All also had a couple of LY1002 Hellsbreath while the three marines each had a MGJ-21 Light Machine Gun. Each man also had a variety of melee weapons and was dressed in a set of Lyran camouflage and Mamba boots and Blacktalon gloves. Each man had a cuirass on under their uniform to protect them. The Emperor was armed just like his men and had his Hellhamer and Stormhammer on his belt and Dubracks sword in a sheath across his back and his LY21 in his hands. They were nearing the door to the cottage. The Emperor stepped up and held up his hand and two of the marines walked forwards with him MGJ-21 in hands trained on the door while the rest of the men formed a semi circle with either end facing along the walls. The Emperor walked right up to the wall and knocked three times loud on the door. " This is your Emperor please open the door quickly. " He said in a calm voice. He immediately heard something drop then a man running then something loud scraping along the floor. The door burst open to show a man with a unkempt beard and wearing an Imperial Uniform.
" Sir we shouldn't stay here there are a group of zombies nearby they have been trying to get in. " The man said bowing low.
" Good work man your name and rank. " The Emperor replied.
" Flag Corporal Sertun. " The man replied and then backed off slowly and came back with a flag. " Sir I was the only member to survive of the Seventh Imperial Rifles but I saved the flag. " The man said presenting it over.
" Sertun if you survive this I will make you Colonel and give you a dukedom for this good service now gather your things we got to be moving on. " The Emperor said taking the flag and walking over while the man went back inside to give it to the man who had Dubrack's flag in his back taking off the flag folding it up then detaching the parts of the pole then putting it into his back pack. The man walked back out with just a backpack, a LY21 and a sword. " Speak to Sergeant Robertcun while we are moving he will explain what is happening. " The Emperor said pointing to one of his men then moving off up the opposite hill to the one they came down.

[Goskazev]

The GAZCC has been formed at Goskazev Capital City,Sleman City. 125.000 soldiers were recruited,chosen from all military branches. The Leader had chosen Lt.General Yusuf Al-Khalid as the Chairman of The Command. The cure research has started. A massive production of GUN-SWORD also starts together with the forming of GAZCC.

The Air Force base at Alogra,which was overrun 3 days ago,was taken back by the Marines and Cmd. Sergei's remnant 3rd Cavalry,which only have about 200 soldiers left. The Marines 1st Mechanized Brigade,which brought 5.000 soldiers and 45 IFVs,had casualties of 254 soldiers eaten and had commited suicide after bitten. The 3rd GBSAU Cavalry had no casualties. Shortly,a radio transmission entered MSgt. Floyd's radio,it says"Hello,hello,anyone can hear me? This is General Orlando Briggs of Goskazev Army 3rd MF Division,we are being overrun at Terzo City,the zombies almost breached our walls. We need support now! Sserrrrkkkk........" The radio goes static,Cmd.Sergei asked Floyd " Floyd,what did they said? Who is that?" Floyd answered " General Orlando,sir,they're being overrun at Terzo City,i think they need any support they can get" Sergei silenced for awhile,but another sound joins the conversatio,its Colonel Kent's sound,the Marines' commander " I think that impossible,we're 100 km from there,we cant get there fast... we cant do anything for them" The fate of 3rd MF still unknown until the next morning

[Albaie]

He could hear them clearing up the camp behind him. He was sat looking into the forest sharpening Dubrack's sword. It felt weird to be here with only 20 men. Last time he had been into the Black Forest thousands followed him, most weren't even on the hunt but set up a fair for the other camp followers that drove off most of the game. Now though he had 19 Imperial Guards and that one man from the Imperial Rifles they had found. There was a sound. Somewhere close. A gurgle. He sprang up bringing the greatsword up into a defensive position. " Men there is something near here. " He shouted. He had barely finished when something sprang at him. It pushed him over but he got a hand up and smashed down with all his force on the back of its head. That made enough room for him to punch it right in the face and he rolled off and then brought his sword down on the back of its head. He tuned around his men were fighting zombies there weren't many probably about 20 of them against 21 soldiers. He ran up behind the nearest and drove his sword through its leg the man on the other side swung his battleaxe round decapitating the creature. His other men had driven off the things and the marines had already started dragging bodies over to the fire. " Any losses " He asked.
" No sir but that was a close one we can't stay in the Black Forest any longer they can smell blood I am sure. " The marine sergeant said as he lumped a zombie in a Imperial Cavalry dress uniform onto the fire.
" Yes I will check my map if I remember rightly there is a military base nearby in the foothills. We can head there then set up a survivors colony and gather people there then once we have enough push out towards a port town get a boat or something and try to get to Maras. " The Emperor said then he pulled off his backpack and rummaged inside it getting out a map and laying it on the ground. He was right IAC Glory was a few miles from where they estimated they were. " Ok men get packed I don't want to stay here a moment longer. " The Emperor finished.

[Goskazev]

Sergei washed his face when he heard hundreds of F-28s flew above his head,its the 4th Flanker Wing,they are heading toward Terzo City,by General Briggs' last transmission.

Terzo City,1500 hours,October 29th 2013

"Make ready!" Shout Captain Warden Cliffs" FIRE!!" Suddenly,the zombie crowds are blanketed by hundreds of artillery,bullets and missile rounds. "Come on men,we are the protectors of Goskazev,we have 30.000 soldiers,we can't let this 1 m thick wall breached!" Then,General Briggs arrives near them and bringing some good news " Men,we have a good news,the 4th Wing is on their way,they got about 200 F-28 VTOLS! Also,Colonel Markus from Marines' 3rd Battalion are bringing entire strength they got" suddenly,soldieers around him shouted and celebrates,the news raised their morale and bravery.

[Republic of Trollandia]

"Comrades, today, I address you with the issue of a zombie outbreak in many neighboring countries, and we would like to declare ALL borders with foreign countries CLOSED. All airports, at Korgus and Moscow, are to be CLOSED. All police officers and soldiers are to be on full alert as scientist in the Republic is trying to figure out a cure for this disease. We cannot assure complete safety as the zombie outbreak is a unconventional battle, and we must try to fight it at all cause!"

With this, President Eduard Khil came down from the podium.

==2 Minutes Later==
"Fire at will!"
A group of 190 border guards fired on the "Zombies" that were attacking the republic. With air support, the battalion fought the zombies with full strength, and as many as 900kg of bombs were dropped onto the zombies. However, air reconnaissance has spotted more zombies and called on Tu-21 Gunships to fight the zombies. As many as 190,245 zombies were killed, and Trollandia sent 91 KK-2 bombers to bombard zombie positions.


In a broadcast, Governor of Siberia, Karl Jughs, said:
"Our armed forces are doing their best to delay zombie forces from coming into the glorious fatherland. We encouraged all citizens living within 100km of the border to leave, as this zombie disease is a pass on disease. Our brave soldiers will try their best to resist the zombies at ALL costs. We appeal for you to remain calm, and don't panic; this nightmare would soon come to an end."

[Albaie]

His men were in the tree line each one kneeling. " Robet, Terch move up either side of the road guns trained ready for anything. Twins you go behind them be prepared to take any bandits who fire down at us. Me, 9 Fingers, Sertun and Gurton will take the lead the rest of you bring up the center while Recun and Feder bring up the rear. Let's go." The men walked out slowly. The Emperor had his two most trustworthy men at his side and another who practically worshiped him. To his side walked two marines with light machine guns and wide of them two twins both with modified rifles for extra range. Behind him 19 of his men walked guns trained in all directions and at the back men facing backwards covering their movement. They were about 100 meters away from the main gate when he heard a voice.
" You men soldiers or do I have to open fire. " The voice shouted and suddenly every man was on his knees guns pointed towards one man standing above the gate.
" Before this threatening the Emperor was high treason " The Emperor replied calmly carrying on his walk.
" Sorry my liege wait a few minutes and I will open the gates. " He heard the voice then a string of commands. At least he had reached safety for a while.

A few hours later
The military base was almost empty except for 15 soldiers who had survived a sortie out on a village infested with zombies they were led by one lieutenant who was about 17 but was from a noble family who lived in Abia it was most likely he was now the lord of his family. The camp had heavy armament with a couple of missiles and a few heavy machine guns. On the walls were a couple of artillery pieces which turned out only Sergeant Rercun and Corpral Feder of his own guards could use who was currently up on the walls teaching 2 of the men who had been here how to load and fire. Sertun was in his room writing his version of events as they happened while on the drill yard the 5 marines where teaching five men how to fire the big heavy machine guns while another two had crept off with the twins to go and do some hunting. 8 more where teaching how to fight in close combat to the 7 remaining old soldiers. The remaining two soldiers of the Imperial Guard where guarding the Emperor while he toured the camp with Lietenaunt Valleyholder. " So this is our comms room most of it went down with the electricity but I am sure if we got electricity up and running from the solar panels that were turned off but I am sure we could get the solar panels and radios working. "
" No the Imperial Broadcasting Tower went down and with it the electrical gird and then the battle room at the palace there is almost no way to get a message out only our planes and boats will have radio now. " The Emperor replied
" Actually sir IAC Glory was viewed as the most possible place the Emperor would retreat to if we lost the palace so the radio here was tweaked so that it would only need electricity to be able to send a message out. " The Lieutenant replied.
" So we only need a electrician to get it up and running. " The Emperor said. " Nine Fingers as soon as you see the twins coming back get them out searching for the Imperial Army which retreated out the city with the civillians tell them to find them and bring 500 of their best soldiers and an electrician and take this note. " The Emperor said grabbing a pen and paper off the desk he was next to.
This is your Emperor I am holed up in IAC Glory we have found that all we need to get back our communications is an electrician there is not enough space for your full army and civilians so may you also send 500 of your best men to assist me.

He handed the note to Nine Fingers who walked outside to sit on the walls and wait for the twins. " Now Lieutenant on with the tour " The Emperor calmly said walking towards the door

[Sacred Nippon]

Sokugawa,Yakamoto Prefecture

Lieutenant Akimoto swung his binoculars towards the bright crimson skies. Entirely empty with the exception of a few packs of crows. This once gleaming city had been nearly scorched to oblivion in a futile attempt to halt the spread of the infection. Sustained bombardment had leveled three fourths of the city. Countless lives had been sacrificed. And yet the infection showed no signs of halting.

The Lieutenant and his platoon had taken up defensive positions within an abandoned factory. All that separated them from the hordes were a few planks of wood. They had held out valiantly, slaying hundreds of the Oni. His platoon was credited with single handedly halting the advances of the undead. His men had held their ground for hours. Now they found themselves running dangerously low on supplies.

But he knew it would be pointless to even to attempt to contact his superiors. They had been lost many hours ago, swarmed by a horde of the infected. He shifted his focus down to street level, staring solemnly at the swarm of infected about to rush their position.

[-Sternland]

Julius Pollnau, Syndic of the Free and Hanseatic Republic of Sternland, clutched the legs of the upturned table he and his aides had converted into a raft. Viktor Laslau, his secretary, was paddling away with an improvised oar, while Hans Pieter held a formerly decorative sword in his hand, his knuckles white. The Grosflut was filled with similar rafts, along with numerous small boats as people tried desperately to escape the zombies. The screams of civilians and the moans of zombies filled the air.

Ahead, he caught sight of the ocean. They were getting close to the waterfront! In fact...

BOOM!

Pollnau smiled broadly as he saw the galleon Neu Wismar fire a full broadside into the waterfront. Blood sprayed everywhere, presumably from the slaughtered zombies. As they got closer, he could see other warships lined up. Marine pikemen manned improvised fortifications, and they were even moving cannons out of the coastal batteries. All was not lost. All was not lost.

[Albaie]

They had mostly been asleep when it happened. The alarm started going off. Gunfire burst out. Somewhere a cannon. The Emperor shoved through the door of the room he had taken in just trousers Dubrack's sword in one hand and a Hellhammer in the other. One of the soldiers who had been here before them was running towards him. " Whats happening " The Emperor shouted at him as a cannon exploded.
" Someones attacking Sir. " The soldier turned and ran for the wall. He followed him as even more gunfire started up from somewhere. He scrambled up the steps to the wall as a fresh outbreak of gunfire. He ducked low. He looked up and saw Edgared and his 4 marines and Ninefingers a bit down the wall. He crawled over to them.
" Whats happening " The Emperor said before he looked over the wall and shot three times towards where he saw gun shots.
" Some idiot's are attacking don't know why. " Nine Fingers replied before getting up and spraying down with his LY21 to which there were a chorus of screams. It was reasonably light and the enemy scattered in front of the wall were quite visible.
" How many do you think there are. " The Emperor asked.
" About forty Sir " Said Edgared.
" Allright " The Emperor said " All men who were being trained get on the heavy machine guns and artillery the rest of you open fire on them until they retreat " The Emperor shouted then sprung up firing fast with the Hellhammer he was alone for a few moments before Edgared and Nine Fingers where up firing fast and furiously with light machine guns. Soon most of the Imperial Guard where up firing and then the heavier guns kicked in. There was but a few moments until the enemy was driven off. The men celebrated for a short while. Eadgared and Nine Fingers didn't but followed the Emperor back to the command center of the camp Sertun now the Emperors unofficial chief bodyguard followed along as well. Eadgared was second in charge at the camp while Nine Fingers who had been the Emperors chief bodyguard and officially the last knight of the body the rests ashes lay scattered around Dubrack's Town near where they had fallen, had now become chief of security at the camp. " Men step up security for the next two days drag the dead bodies up to the wall and light a fire with the bodies it will serve as a signal fire for any who see it but zombies may come too so all men who didn't serve guard yesterday are on it today while those who did will rest today and then a full detachment on the walls tomorrow also move the armory closer to the walls next time we are attacked I want flamethrowers and rocket launchers up on the walls all right. " The two chiefs nodded while Sertun took the Emperors gun to reload it and give it a check while the Emperor went to get changed. He just hoped the twins had almost reached their destination.
