District 1, Neue Fiona Village

1:00:00 PM

Ylla has arrived in the place from the orders of Chief Zamor. She was happy that the chief had finally ordered them to mobilize their forces. No idea how he managed to recover but she was really thankful. Now, they had a chance to counter attack them all. However, a sudden report came in from her post. A certain number of an army were coming through the western plain in front of the District 1. Her heart trembled and fell in her knees in shock. The enemies had an another wave of a big army armed with big and heavy weapons. She was stumbled for a second.

She took a big breath and slowly exhaled everything. The District 1 must not be fall in the hands of the invaders. If it fell in their hands, they’ll be unable to counter attack and worst, her District 3 will be occupied, as well. There are several innocent orphans and elders were taking shelter in her place. They might be hurt and killed by the invaders if they tried to grab a weapon to fight for their lives.

Before the worst case scenario happened, she ordered her messenger to contact the District 1 Representative however, they couldn’t contact their landline. There is a high risk coming in to their side. The tension made her to pack her weapons, entered her vehicle and rode her car towards the 1st district. When she arrived, she immediately forced herself in the command room and took command. The 1st District troops had been rushed to go to the front lines and posted themselves in the turret and walls, aiming at the enemies. There numbers were extremely lowered than the size of 400 men of the Verdugo family commanded by 4th Caporegime Alfio Alfe.

They are riding in an armored vehicles and armed with gatling guns. There is a two batch of mage company numbered of twenty - four (24) black uniform soldiers. As they approached the area, his two mage company fired several artillery shots, destroying the wall gate wherein readied to be close. It’s chain fell in the guards that was unfortunately pinched like an insect and the gate dropped in the water. It splashed a big wave and rained. Ylla who were watching via telescope became frustrated and asked her men to defend the place and killed every invaders tried to cross.

Several gunshots were released by the guards but only few casualties were invoked from the invaders. There speed had become more faster and quicker. The armor of their vehicle was thicker than an iron that made the bullets bounced back or just deflected like a weak stick trying to make a hole in the big rock.

Capo Alfio Alfe ordered his men to return the favor. His men released their beast - the gatling gun shots the guards in the upper wall. They were ferociously killed in a big wave of their guns. There leader just closed his eyes and put his arms behind his head as his pillow whilst he watched how his men easily and efficiently killed the village guards.

“What a waste of time. Is this how strong their men? Not a challenge at all.” he mumbled. “Easy peaky, eh.”

Ylla realized her defeat. She ordered her men from the other side to reinforce their comrades. She bite her thumb and thought for another strategy. Was there an another solution to counterattack these people?

The answer was none.

Nothing!

Within four hours, they had lost a lot of good men in the field. The enemies almost reached the eastern side of the District 1. There are more than 150 meters away from her place.

There was nothing she could do to undone everything.

The enemies had entered the District 1 Gate. They were crashing their defensive line by their vehicles and heavy weapons. The most difficult part to fight were the two companies of mages. They’re completely massacred the first group of 1st district.

She cried.

Will there a miracle to save them from complete defeat? She closed her fist and looked up at the sky. She closed her eyes and calmed her heart. There is an another way to give an another vibe to counter attack.

“I am Ylla. I can do everything. Believing oneself can defeat the foe. I’m not a defeatist. I’m Ylla of Neue Fiona Village.” she said. She moved to the radio communicator and put the microphone near her mouth. “Everyone listen up. No matter what happens, no one shall surrender this post and this district. If you let them kick your asses, you’re family and the lives of the innocents will be in big dick shit! Fight till your last breath, dumbass!”

The Verdugo troops laughed when they heard her short speech even their leader who was almost slept from his position woke up from it.

“How admirable. Surely, their commander must be a little upset at what’s happening in her men. No matter what she says, there’s no way they can still recover from this.” he concluded.

Ironically, her speech made her men to recall their families, the time they spent together and their children playing with them. The days they were so happy to gather in one place to have a picnic and went to the market to buy some goods and toys for their children’s joy. The smile of their youth made them to regret of doing nothing. There spirits and morale had increased.

“This shall not stand!”

The words of one of the guards who was still fighting with his hand almost losing its blood from extreme exhaustion. Everyone became upset and began to counter attack. The dice of the enemies must not let to slide and rolled again. Although they were outnumbered, the guards charged to the enemies riding with their vehicle. The gatling gunners reloaded their guns and aimed at the coming horde of village troops. But in an unknown reason, they couldn’t pull the trigger. The gunners found themselves stumbled and stabbed in their heart when some of the guards jumped over to the vehicle to catch them all.

There leader of the Capo team was awake from the sudden report of their unexpected outcome. There mechanized troops were lost from their suicide charge. They were not only lost some men but also the advanced weaponry from the enemies.

“Sir, we lost our gunners!”

“What the hell are you guys talking about? How’d they lost against a mere villagers?” he asked, stomping the ground in anger.

“Sir, more than fifty men in our side have lost. In a few minutes, the enemies will retrieve this place.”

“What do you want me to do then? Leave this? We almost got it just a few hours ago. Now, you want us to retreat? Are you insane?” he said, pulling the collar of the messenger.

“No, sir. My apologies. What I want to suggest is to set a parameter and build a strong defense in this place. So, we might be able to set another wave of attack once we regroup with the other group.”

“Alright, tell to the mage companies to give our withdrawing troops a cover fire.” he ordered, pushing aside the messenger from him.

“Yes, sir.” the messenger lowered his head, punching his chest.

“Good grief. This will take a lot of time to get this place.” he said.

The village guards continued to pursue their enemies. The mage companies aimed at the upcoming troops and released their artillery shots. A lot of bodies flew all over the place and their body parts lay scattered around the streets and walls. But the other survivors didn’t stop and returned a gun fire.

“Damn, these insects were idiots. No, they are crazy!” one of the mages said as he witnessed how insane the villagers.

“Are they trying to let themselves killed?” the other one asked, aiming at the horde.

“Just keep shooting at them!”

“Yes, sir!”

Ylla saw the mages and decided to take action. She picked up her sniper rifle and aimed at them. Although she was one kilometer away from them, she would use her magic to detect them.

She casted in her rifled the word, [Auto Aim]. She lay her body in the roof and held her breath, crossing her legs to comfort herself. In one pull of the trigger, the mages were one by one dropped from the air to the ground.

“What the hell was that? Who’s shooting at us? Another mage? Guaa~!” his head have exploded.

“Hide! Sniper! There’s a sniper mage!”

From 24 to 13 men, the mage company had lost a lot of their kind. Ylla smiled at her newest record. She moved down and returned back to her post.

It’s 5:45:10 of the evening. One of the radiomen called her attention. Someone wanted to talk with her. She moved closer to the radioman and put in her ears the phone.

“Hey, you little piece of shit. Why did you take my troops from danger?”

The familiar voice of Rafel Uno who was almost survived from the clash. He called her post to talk with Ylla and scolded her for stealing his post as the commander of the first district.

“You son of a bitch. Don’t you know that if I didn’t take this post. We’ll be screw.” Ylla replied in irritated voice.

“Huh? Are you retard? I can easily counter attack them all. Too busy to -”

“... to fight the other side of the invaders? Hello? You’re almost fighting them for such a long hour. You can’t even retake the eastern part of District 4. Now, you tell me what to do? Do you want to get scrambled in two sides? Don’t you know that the invaders have a mechanized troops that easily breakthrough to our defenses?”

“,,,” Rafel Uno remained silent.

“Now, you don’t want to talk about it? Seriously, calm yourself first before you tell the others what to do. Do you have any idea how many lives have lost just to prevent the invaders of taking the whole place? Just think about it, will ya. Now, if you don’t mind. I have more busy task to do. Good day!” she hanged up the phone and entered her room.

Whilst, Rafel Uno tossed the phone away from him and kicked the table in anger. He scratched his hair and screamed.

“You don’t need to tell me that, you fool! I’m not a child anymore!” he said before he closed the window of his office.
