CHAPTER 23- THE WAR PART V
Sweat, blood.
Bone and dirt.
That was the only scenery before him. He had lost half of his army with only three blasts of the sonic waves of this monstrosity.
His eyes tore through the battlefield. His eyes were sore from what he had seen. It could only be put in one word.
Defeat.
Word hadn't reached him from the other battle stations but he could only assume the silence was one that meant defeat.
Lying in a pool of blood. Not sure if it was his. Dirt on his face mixed with the injuries he had making them hurt like hell.
He tilted his head to the right to see what had become of his soldiers.
Dead. All dead.
He felt a sharp pain down his waist.
Half of a horse had fallen on him, given an explanation for the blood his body was bathing in.
Tilting his head to the left, he could see commander mathieus and Zeus relaying orders to the surviving soldiers.
They were inaudible to him but he got the point. Shortly after, Zeus took note of him and rushed towards him.
"General?... General?... Can you hear me?." He could finally be heard. But he could not reply, his mouth felt so heavy.
Putting all his strength together, Zeus pulled the horse's guts from his body. The scar on his face was bleeding and he had other serious injuries on his body which could be seen as his armour had been ripped.
"Where are we?." Those were the words that came out of his mouth, not sure of what was before him was his reality.
"We're at war station B, sir." Zeus looked puzzled, what kind of person would ask such a question at a time like this. Has he lost his memory he wondered.
"Who are you?, what am I doing here? .What am I doing here in this filth? Summon Raymond boltin here at once."
"Sir, Raymond boltin died years ago and it happened in your hands." There was silence between them, riechford's face became pale and he collapsed to the ground.
He started to act irritated. He quickly rose from the ground and instantly he fell face flat to the ground.
Letting out a loud yell, he grabbed his hair violently as blood fell from his nostrils. Zeus didn't hesitate to hold him together. Soon the yelling stopped.
"Let go of me you scrat. Zeus why are you holding me this way?, don't we have a monster to kill?", he poured his eyes on the battlefield and couldn't see the beast. Feeling disappointed he asked, "Hope you lots haven't killed that bitch without me?."
There was silence. Zeus couldn't face him. Puzzled, frustrated and tired, he couldn't keep up with the general's rantings.
"No Sir. It disappeared right after the last explosion. The men left tried looking for it but to no avail." Silence fell upon them again.
Riechford looking straight into the fire ,let out a cry of distress. He couldn't contain what he just heard. After a moment, he was calm and he spoke.
"I think i found a way to kill it next time it surfaces." Zeus' eyes widened in surprise and interest.
"How?."
"Front inside. We kill it from inside its body." He said with a Straight face.
The flame rose and finally lost its fire. Soon the sun would resume its reign.
Morning came and the rest of the troops had started making their way up to the what remained of the battlefield to regroup and try to find the rest of the soldiers at the other side of the mountain.
"Keep watch for that deadly beast, he could still be here." Riechford said as he met lozur's eyes. He watched as sweat began to fall profusely from his face. And the same with any soldier that looked his way.
"General , don't move a muscle." Zeus said as he positioned his sword as if he were about to slay an enemy.
Riechford was confused. Slowly tilting his neck to his right, he could see what they all froze at.
The beast was behind him all along. But it was to late, the rapid growth had already began .
Yelling at the soldiers to leave the area, riechford signalled to lozur and Zeus telling them the plan was a go.
With its height at it's max, the beast gave a mighty roar that shook riechford, his men and the ground.
Turning his sight to the mountain he began to move towards it, ignoring riechford and his fear shaken men.
"Don't let that thing get to the mountain. Get to the cart-man destroyers and do something." He shouted at a soldier of his.
Watching the soldier sprint towards the tents, he saw an arrow go through his head and arm.
"Attack, we're under attack. The Orthorox are here."
Shit how did they find us. He sighed as he turned towards the tents and called out for lozur, who was stationing men in different positions.
"Kiddo, I've found a way to kill three birds with half a toothpick." With an eyebrow raised, he was tempted to question the general's insane ideas.
"I need you, with your single hand ,you have mastered how to exert quick and effective damage on opposition. So you will be my guard when I ride that monster."
His mouth was left wide open as he watched the general mount a cart-man destroyer. He checked for arrows and for any deformation on the machine and seeing none he turned to lozur.
"Get on, let's go kill that monster."
Without further questions, lozur went on board with his plan and his ride.
After narrating his plans to lozur, lozur could not hold his discomfort any longer.
"My lord this is insane."
"Sorry, does that monster look sane to you."
"You can't probably be thinking something insane, do you?."
"Uhm... Yeah... Just watch me boy."
"Good, let me watch you delightfully from down here. I haven't had sex with a maiden yet."
"Is that the least of your problems right now. Seriously, you are in the battlefield and you thinking about vagina."
"I still do have a dick anyway and it must be put to use."
"Just do according to my plan, it's an order."
And then silence fell on them till they reached the rear end of the monster. At this point they parted ways to the both sides of the beast.
They shot arrows linked up with chains to its neck and began to ride on it's rocky body till they reached its neck.
Its neck had swollen and was about release its blast to the mountain. With riechford realizing its plan, he rained arrows that pierced through its neck. It let out a cry to the sky and eventually releasing its blast.
SKRAGGGGGGHHHH!!!!.
As clouds parted , and the beast regained momentum, Lozur sighted Orthorox soldiers (about six of them) climbing up the beasts body up to meet them.
"Go in, my lord , I will cover for you. Six men is a little task."
Riechford nodded and dove right in with the strong gush of air making way into its ear. And in an instant he was inside the beast.
Letting the wind guide him into where all the wind needed for its sonic blast, he dug a Kriesmegger into its parts to prevent from joining the wind and dust that entered that compartment of its body. He began to search for the right organ to severe to get his plan underway. He searched for its windpipe.
He praised the heavens as he found it, attaching an explosive he got from lozur that reacted to sharp and quick motion, to its windpipe, he began to look for a way out.
Turning left and right, he saw none. He was fucked.
Five minutes had reached. The injured monster was going to unleash another blast to the mountain. Riechford had realized he was going to die.
General... General riechford. Aren't you done let's move out of the explosion radius.
He recognized the voice. It was lozur's.
"Get out of here, I'm done for boy... Get out now!!!." He cried out to him. Hot tears began to drop as he held to to what seemed to he the ribcage of the beast.
He heard his voice no more. Seemed he heeded to his warning.
Pictures of his childhood began to flood his thoughts.
Dad. Mum. Raymond.
The beast fired it's sonic blast. The bomb was triggered,severing the windpipe, the blast was released in its body and all the surrounding behind it.
It's the end. The end if the bravest man to ever lead the white armour regiment.
