《Another World: Scientist》Chapter 63. Reinforcements.
Advertisement
--- Three weeks after Hayden begun waiting ---
"Sir! The reinforcements are arriving! The M19 is also coming!" One of my soldiers on the wall shouts out.
(Yes! Yes! Finally! Three weeks of waiting and they're finally here.)
"Get the convoy ready! Once they have arrived, we are immediatly heading out after letting them rest enough! So, make sure everything is ready for departure!" I shout orders and one of the castle guardsmen opens the gate for my reinforcements.
A few minutes after the gates are open, about ten bushmasters and humvees come through and three M19's as well.
"Hmm... Set the convoy up! Put one M19 near the front, one in the middle and one near the back!" I try to position the M19's so they aren't bunched up.
I let the reinforcements rest for about five hours while I go through the reports Landar sent me.
--- Five hours later ---
"Get ready to depart! We're going to try to hit their main army from afar and force them back to that island they came from!" I, once more, shout orders as I get in my helicopter which has been refilled and then I take off.
I lead the convoy straight towards the enemy who are positioned near a dock, in defensive positions.
(The reports from the castle scouts say they do this every time their reinforcements are arriving.)
I signal the convoy to ride up to the hills and also take defensive positions since we have better range and they also have to run up a pretty steep hill.
The M19's are kept a little bit back from the main force but not too far.
"We wait for them to come to us. Our bullets could hit them at this range but we'd just help them build a wall of corpses. They also have to attack us if they want to do anything since no matter which direction they go, we get there faster. So... Prepeare for a siege-like waiting period." I give orders and tips to my soldiers which are relayed all across my small, efficient army.

--- The Enemy Army, third-person POV ---
"Commander! There's something weird on the hill! It's like... Crates and boxes! But big ones!" A soldier gives a report to one of his commanders.
"Send a few squads to deal with it! We wait for reinforcements!" The commander shouts out and throws a goblet at the soldier but misses.
The soldier immediatly leaves the commanders tent.
"Do you think the reinforcements will ever arrive... They are quite late..." Another soldier says to the one who just left the tent.
"No... I heard that Evrik might be here... Evrik the Crimson... One of our small patrol vessels saw one of Evrik's boats. The patrol immediatly beached themselves and ran towards here." The soldier says with a look of despair.
Then the soldier goes to give out the orders the commander gave him.

When a deadly and magical plague created yet another caste in our realm, those of the new world thought it a punishment from the gods for their destruction and abandonment of their roots, but those in the old world knew the truth. That was to be the beginning of a long and drawn out war between creatures that have roamed the realm for centuries and monsters that never should have came into being.

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
