The Serpent Empire

Chapter 12: Surprise attack



Alr right since I already got my position in good

" Sir "

"Yeah what's up"

" Martin said that some of the recruits are ready and that you should add them to your army or split them to the other"

" Dismissed"

Mmmm what to do if I split them that should keep them happy no they will probably make an excuse that I'm giving them the bad batch I know

I headed to the conscript area there I will get the new recruits

Along the way I made a couple of deturs and gather some stuff here and there went to the restaurant had a very enjoyable day

Before I depart I went and got the recruits

Dear Martin and council I have decided that all the recruts will be assigned to my army and after we deal with the threat of the Northern gang thank you for your support

From Jake

I went and met the recruits

They dont look that bad I would say they are ready they just need to be ready

" March to the fort now"

I probably wouldn't have said anything inspiration speaks but I'm not that type of person

They will be fine right know all we need is soldiers that will actually do they're jobs so leaving them only on my army is good

I have decided to send out scouts to the tree and other areas to map out from th ground level

I will send Nate to map and see around the area I will add Jon to this group

The recruits kept marching to the base we should probably name it I see with the others

I have 20 new soldiers which is very good we still need to find out how big the gang is

I need to get information I'm blind right now and that won't do.

Henry's pov

"Hey knock it off you bum's you need to keep wach for the enemy not fight yourselfs"

" Are you crazy they are planning to take over and make Martin a dictator"

" What bullshit is that we need a solid leader right know your the reason we might lose"

Henry " stop you two stand outside and dont move if you do you will be lashed"

It's been like this for a while it's cleared that they don't want to work with each other they are too loyal to their sides

Cain is an anomaly he shows no hostile to Maurice but hes not friendly eather he hasn't really done nothing I'm going to keep an eye on him

On the other hand Leo is very loyal to Maurice he's been loud about it and it has spread to his soldiers they have been very active though now they have calmed down now that we have the enemy at our home steps

Now Zack has been making a medic unit about 5 people have been recruited its clear that if and a big if we get rid of the Northern gang we will have a civil war and we will probably be forced to join a side I'll just follow Jake

Bang bang

Damn it looks like we're being attacked

" Hey send word to Leo and Cain that we are being attacked"

I called our unit and gather ourselfs to the fence and started to shoot back

" Damn it they are using the grass to hide"

Henry " listen be patient to shoot only shoot if you see them that's an order"

But unlike us that stayed outside Leo send some of his soldiers out Cain on the other hand stayed out of this saying he would help when our units grew weary

Leo musta realized he was the only one out if the fence and reatrate back to the fence shots were still being fired an hour passed and finally less and less shot where heard and then silence nothing for three hours we did not move

Zack ran around to see how many injuries they were not a lot of injured men

Zack " Henry they must've tested us out to see if we are strong"

Henry" yes they definitely were doing that we need a plan let's hope Jake has a good plan Nate go ahead and inform the council and Jake go now we don't know if they will attake us again so tell them to keep guard all night"

" Sir"

(By the way this happened will Jake was with the council talking he departed at 7 so by now the would have stopped their attack"

Jakes pov

We where marching like have way when I saw Nate and another running straight at us

Nate " we were attacked w-e were attacked " he was out of breath clearly ran for a while realizing what he had just said I forced my army to March at a runing pace to reach outside

Damn I need to make this door bigger I can't wait and make them March one by one to get out side

There I saw signs of shots and the smell of gunpowder here I hurried to henry to check how many we had lost

" Henry how long did it happen how many did we lose and how big was the army"

Henry " an hour four surprisingly and we don't know"

Jake " call Leo and Cain here right know"

"Yes sir"
