Capítulo 44: Chapter 42: Eastern Front Pt.3
(At The Belarus Front)
When Ludolf and his friends Hans, Wilheim and Ansgar were now eating their breakfast and prepare another sentry duty, they got enough rest and were waiting for another task that may give to them. Many did not know that the monstrous Restless Ghouls are now advancing towards them, Ludolf felt his stomach turned as he felt something unease throughout this eerie environment.
As Ludolf cleaning his gears, he felt his gut clenching knowing that there's something wrong. His superiors were talking about the Frontlines of Estonia and Latvia, also going dark on the HQ.
They ordered their soldiers to double the watch, not knowing where or when the enemy may appear. Out of nowhere, their enemy come out to the left side of the forest.
The warriors scramble to man their positions. Rudolf instinctually picks up the flare gun, then he raised in 60 degrees to fire that will send the alarm around the area.
Then he shouted, "CONTACT!!! LEFT SIDE!!!! LEFT SIDE!!!!" as he picked up his rifle then start firing towards their enemy, causing the other soldiers firing at the left side of their position. Rudolf managed to reach the second line of the trench; he saw M240 lying over there. Pick it up and start firing the upcoming enemy.
Ludolf's friends were arrived at his side, Wilheim muttered in fear " Good God" he begins firing his rifle. While the four were firing their rifles as to buy some time for their comrades to man their positions.
While they are firing the enemy, the sea of ghouls was running towards their position. Many of the mine fields triggered causing many enemy casualties but there's no sign of them retreating they just, advancing.
Few of their comrades were manning their position, Ludolf got confused about this event. He turned around then saw his CO urging their fellow soldiers to play their part.
"Captain!!!" he called out to his superior, the man went at his side and start firing upon the ghouls.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED SIR?!" asked as he toss the grenade. The captain's mind was in disaster, no one told him that the enemy changed their movement out of nowhere. The Chain of Command will fall anytime.
"DEFEND THE LINE!!!" he got up and start shooting his rifle. Ludolf gritted his teeth in anger as he saw this, he continues firing to give more time their fellow men to gain contact to the HQ while reinforcements may come and rescue them, if there is a reinforcement.
Few hours of fighting, Ludolf and others were still fighting the endless sea of ghouls as they were keeping coming through the treelines, many of his comrades were waiting the trap to be triggered as the mine fields were now emptied. The captain pulls out the flare gun the shoot to the sky, when both sides saw the flares up in the sky.
DEATH!!!!
The scream erupted through the battlefield; sudden explosion occurred within the enemy's rank. Rudolf and the others were watching what happened before them, a sudden figure stand in front of them. They wore a dark grey hoodie with the insignia of an orb and flame underneath of it, the figure raised his arm and shouted.
"Ludolf? Ludolf Ritter?" as Ludolf look at he figure and replied "YEAH? Why's that?". The figure stands beside him, curious about the stranger's intention. Another explosion occurred to the battlefield; a horn blew through the entire battlefield. Causing both friend and foe halted to see the noise that was coming from the hill. The silence erupted through the battlefield, Ludolf saw the monsters' advance was stopped but they were lying on the ground.
He looked around to see the figure talking to his men without telling who he is and is he an ally? He will keep an eye on this stranger he met earlier even save him and his friends from their deaths. Not until the stranger walked towards him and asked .
"Are you ready?" Ludolf questioned about the Stranger's statement, the strange individual turn around and left.
As Ludolf was about to call the stranger, a sudden flare shot through the sky and the scream of ghouls were running towards them. They began opened fire to stall the enemies' advancement, while the stranger's army were waiting to engage.
One of the Ghouls were about to reach the fort, the ghoul find itself lying on the ground. Not knowing what just happened, when the figure stabbed at its head knowing that they need to retreat. But, he also remembers the order from his superior few days ago. Not knowing if he will make it in time. For now they need to find a way to get out from this soon to be massacre, Ludolf saw the Ghouls were frenzy as they were closely yet again to the fort.
"Shit, we need to get out of here fast" Ludolf thought as he reloads his rifle and continue firing. He saw the figure earlier just standing there, looking at the view in front of him. Ludolf return his focus in front of him, knowing that the strange man will come up something, as the Ghouls slowly gaining on them. The stranger quickly ordered them to retreat and make a last stand in the final line of defense, then make a total evacuation of the 3rd Group Division. Not knowing if they are going to make it out alive, Ludolf focus his attention to stay alive.
"LUDOLF!!!" Someone shouted him, causing Ludolf to turn around. Suddenly an explosion occurred behind him, knocking out cold as a result. Once the figure saw Ludolf lying on the ground, he heard someone shouting that the ghouls were coming closer.
"AUGUSTUS WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!! Shouted form one of his soldiers, the man named Augustus who looked around and start forming a plan in his head. Not knowing if his superior will get here in time, for now he ordered his men to get Ludolf and retreat to the second phase of the evacuation.
*Meanwhile at the HQ*
As John and the higher officials were busy managing everything to survive and win at the same time, John was looking at the screen in front of him. A map of Europe, oversee the progress of his men and the Ghouls. Before the 3rd Group Army went dark, Vincent left to assist the frontlines.
Hearing the News from 1st and remaining 2nd Army Groups now in regrouping in the second line of defense in Kaliningrad to the Black Sea. However, the Belarus Front where the 3rd Army Group stationed. This troubled John greatly yet; Vincent will go there to reestablish communication. Something tells him, that this invasion will reach the climatic result too fast.
*Meanwhile at the airspace of Europe*
In the vast skies above Europe, Vincent sat aboard the osprey helicopter. The hum of the aircraft's engines filled the tense silence as they soared towards Belarus. Their destination: the front lines where the 3rd Army Group awaited their aid against the dreaded Restless Ghouls, a terrifying and monstrous enemy that had plagued the lands.
When Vincent looking at the floor. He knew the situation getting worse in each passing minute, he noticed the tiredness of John's eyes and he too as well. After the Resource War, their closest friend or not a brother sacrifice and now here they are.
Shaking his head knowing that he needs to stay focus the mission at hand, he looked around and saw 50 men under his command, John told him that he need some extra hands-on deck. He personally handed his 50 men and women into his care. These people were trained by John and himself, to be the best of the best. Survive anything that throws at them, learn and adapt that's where they taught to them to do from the very beginning of their training from individual strength to teamwork. Their clothes were all black with each arm bearing a newly Guild named 'Phantom Dwellers' patch and a skull symbol patch.
Ever since his brother John joined the Delta 0-1 Guild, he quickly builds his own guild that can help the world's current problems. He needs warriors and soldiers who were quickly mobilize and swift execution. After he was joined by John to help the war effort that the world was facing ever since they left after finishing creating for what was called "Guild System" after the world went through prolonged years of Resource War.
During those times, they meet an individual that change their lives for the better and forever not only for them but, the entire humanity that will tell throughout the history of mankind, now they back to the fold after 10 years later, the world was now facing extinction that no one anticipated.
What Eron said to them "Survive and Grow, its what keeps us alive through bad and worse. Nothing will ever change if we manage to climb to the top, higher and higher before. Never give up".
Those words still ringing into their minds. He and John missed him greatly and his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
As the room when red turns to green.
Signaling that it is time to go, they all stand up and face the ramp to open. Vincent looks around and the eyes were on him leaving a heavy sigh from his lips, he turned his attention to them.
"Everyone, we both know what you're signed up for. And now, this is the moment to prove ourselves to the world that we would do everything to save our loved ones and all we have. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud of you to stay and continue to fight for what you have been believe on. And fought with you side by side, not as soldiers or anything. As brothers and sisters". After finished his speech, the hum of the aircraft's engines reverberated through the cabin, a steady rhythm that mirrored the beating of their hearts.
In the vast skies above Europe, Vincent sat aboard the osprey helicopter, surrounded by his 50 warriors. The hum of the aircraft's engines filled the tense silence as they soared towards Belarus. Their destination: the front lines where the 3rd Army Group awaited their aid against the dreaded Restless Ghouls, a terrifying and monstrous enemy that had plagued the lands.
As they neared their drop zone, the loading ramp of the osprey creaked open, revealing a sea of ominous clouds shrouding the night sky. Vincent's heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and dread. He looked at his warriors, a diverse group of fighters wielding a mix of medieval swords, modern firearms, and enchanted weapons imbued with ancient magic. They were ready for the battle ahead.
With a silent nod, Vincent signaled to his warriors, and one by one, they leaped off the osprey into the swirling darkness below. The rush of wind whipped at their faces as they descended towards the ground, the cold night air chilling their bones. As they landed, Vincent took in their surroundings: a desolate battlefield scarred by the presence of the Ghouls.
In the heart of the dense Russian and Belarus forests, where the shadows danced eerily and the silence was broken only by the rustling of leaves, Vincent led his band of warriors. Fifty strong, they were a diverse mix of men and women, each wielding weapons honed in battle and eyes burning with determination. Their mission was clear - to fight their way through the relentless waves of Restless Ghouls that plagued the borderlands, and reach the awaiting 3rd Army Group stationed deeper within the haunted woods.
As they ventured deeper into the eerie forest, the air grew thick with the stench of decay and an unsettling chill settled in their bones. The ancient trees loomed like silent sentinels, their twisted branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. their eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of the approaching threat.
The Ghouls, twisted creatures of darkness with razor-sharp claws and glowing eyes that promised only death, emerged from the darkness like specters of nightmare. With a bloodcurdling howl, they descended upon Vincent and his warriors, their unearthly agility and ferocity unmatched.
But Vincent stood firm as he raised his sword, rallying his troops to meet the unholy onslaught head-on. The clash of steel against claw echoed through the forest, mingling with the primal screams of the Ghouls and the battle cries of the warriors.
"HERE THEY COME!!" Vincent shouted, as his men readied themselves as the ghouls slowly gaining on them.
The battleground became a chaotic symphony of clashing steel and thundering gunfire. The ghouls, with their uncanny agility and malevolent cunning, seemed to be everywhere at once, ambushing Vincent and his warriors in every direction. But the fierce determination of the human warriors was unwavering. They moved as one, a well-oiled machine of death and destruction.
As the battle raged on, the forest itself seemed to come alive, the trees twisting and writhing as if in agony. Shadows danced and shifted, and the very ground beneath their feet seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy. But Vincent and his warriors pressed on, their hearts afire with a resolve that could not be quenched.
As they forged deeper into the territory of the Ghouls, the ambushes grew more frequent and vicious. Shadows flitted between the gnarled trees, and the air was thick with the stench of decay and despair. But Vincent and his warriors pressed on, their resolve unshakeable, their eyes fixed on the distant flicker of torchlights where the 3rd Army Group awaited their arrival.
As they pushed deeper into the forest, the landscape around them grew more twisted and foreboding. Trees loomed like ancient sentinels, their branches clawing at the sky, while the ground beneath their feet seemed to whisper of forgotten sorrows. Yet still, Vincent and his warriors marched on, their eyes fixed on their goal.
While running, Vincent saw a hidden pathway that can break free from the pursuit. Vincent signals his men to follow him, men and women were looking at each other in confusion but, they nodded otherwise.
As Vincent pull of his flashbang to his pocket, disarm the pin at the same time dropped it through the ground. Others were confused and they heard their leader yelling.
"FLASHBANG!!!" once they heard it, a flash of light illuminated the area, causing the ghouls stunned from it, giving some breathing room. Luckily no one from Vincent's men caught the flashbang. They turned around to see the ghouls were dazed, laugh and the moral went higher than before.
They began to do the same as Vincent did yet, their leader told them to stop earning another confusion looks on their face.
"Wait for my signal!" he said, gaining approval looks of his men. Once the first flashbang finished, the ghouls were pissed but they weren't prepared for what was coming to them.
Constant barrage of flashbangs flashing to their eyes, Vincent knew this would keep them at bay for a while. When they reached the entrance of the hidden path, Vincent stopped and turn around to guide his warriors to the path. Lay low for a while, he saw his men continue running to him towards the hidden path.
As the barrage of flashbangs continue entertaining the ghouls, his second-in-command stand beside him and asked.
"Sir, what are your orders?" as he throws the flashbang after his superior finished earlier. Vincent take cover and told him.
"Dave, guide our men towards this path, we need to lay low for a while". As Vincent pointed his finger to the clearing. As he throws another flashbang to the enemy.
"Are you sure? About that sir?" asked the man named Dave who was watching as his men were running to the hidden path, Vincent nodded and patted Dave's back signaling that they needed to move. Dave nodded back and went to the hidden path to guide the men and women out of harm.
As Vincent saw the last of his men to the hidden path, he tossed another flashbang and start throwing grenades then he summoned 10 illusions to keep the ghouls at bay before leaving the battlefield towards the unknown, as the sounds of explosions and roars of anguish erupted behind him..
