Chapter 4: life in the "bordeland"
"man this fucking sucks it's four in the morning:(" henry " shut up and keep walking we need to be there before afternoon we're gonna rest then build the new settlement" Jon " Jake what are you up doing?" "Hm oh I'm writing in my book" Jon " where did you get paper" Jake "remember that store that was set up on the base it has other things like pencils, paper, and clothes that srunked" "yeah" " that's where I got it... Also these muskets or whatever they call them how are we suppose to fight if it take so long to shoot" Jon " well wen it gets tuff use beyenets to strike if where out of gunpowder" Jake did he tell you if where gonna be inside or outside of the door" Jon " no he still doesn't know if outside is a good idea what if they got a better shot and we die immediately" Jake " true I guess inside it will be" and so we continued our journey marching was a big part of our training and it paid off we where still tierd after our March but we got hear we could see the sun in the window it was beautiful
Leo " all soldiers stop and rest at two prepare to start building a camp Jon Jake where gonna need to make plans come to my tent at one thirty dismiss"
Leo left with his guards and so the soldiers began resting and make makesifth beds. I slept on the floor couldn't sleep well and my back hurts man wtf cant even sleep think of sheep one sheep two sheep..... 20 sheep "sir Leo and Jon are waiting for you" \/ " ok" I walked to Leo's tent
They were there sitting a round a paper that had terrible drawings by the way anyways Leo "good of you to join us Jake sit sit we where talking about the camp how to build it I say we make it a complete military base" Jon " I agree that it should be but think about the future I'm sure we can make this a city it would be good to make a residential area for the future" Jake " I agree with both of you but firts it has to be a military base because where not safe right now" Jon wasn't pleas but he agreed to it so we started to make plans leo " alright we are going to first make a barracks okay we are going to put it right to our backs which will be the west okay any objections " no " okay then Jake your men are going to build the fence make it so we can put the muskets trough so they can shoot and have a shield" Jake "how are we gonna get the wood for the fence" leo " you will venture outside the door scavenger all the wood you can find am I understand" Jake" yes" good Jon you build the barracks and train the soldiers I will make the schedule for night and day guards dismissed"
Now I said bye to Leo and Jon when to my small unit " prepar we will depart at exactly four o'clock and go through the door and look for wood to build a fence for the base prepare foof and axes and saws gogo"
They gather two axes and a saw they prepare the muskets small amount of food and water and went to the door" alright listen up we're going out side we don't know if the enemy is out side or not so be ready we are looking for wood to build a fence and for the barracks get ready March" the first time we're going outside since a while but we where prepare for it as we walked out of the door the grass we once ignored because it was at our feet now was huge and we could only see green the sun we always new it was giant now you felt small looking up it felt surreal we stud there not moving just staring.
Henry " well damn grass is like trees now haha Jake we should get moving we don't wanna be here by dark" " y-yeah keep walking look fro beranches we could use" Henry " why so surprised you walked this way when going to the house" " yeah but I was just so surpried and worried I didnt pay attention also then the grass wasn't this big" " yeah" Jake " keep your muskets up pay attention cut the grass if you need to" " commander we saw a small bush about 3 feet the branches don't look to thick but it will take a bit off time to cut them" Jake " that's alright as long as we get the branches back to the base what's your name" " sir my name is Zack" " well Zack you have a good eye you'll be my scout" Zack " yes sir thanks" we moved slowly but steadily we reached the bush and started chopping the branches" Jake " get the ones that are poking out of the bigger branches well use those as a base to make the fence" Henry " ey cap you know what would be nice " what" a nice plate of rice, beans, and meat" "haha" everyone had a little chuckle Jake"nice one but we ain't getting that" " I know but it don't hurt to dream" we spent about an hour to cut good amount of branches about 10 of them we choped them into smaller pieces to carry more we made them into poles so we could just get to base to dig them into the ground and start the fence.
Chirps were heard as we made our way to the door I signal them to stop and drop down but it was to late the bird went down and snatched one of the men " get your muskets and shoot" bang bang " half of you move and the other reload and shoot the brird move Henry you command the shooters gogo" Zack scanned the field and saw an empty water bottle "
Sir Zack saw an empty water bottle about 10 inches from here" Jake "move to it send some one to tell Henry" "yes sir"
