Army of the Damned

VOLUME 5 Chapter 3

Calm waters collide into sharp rocks as three women whose lower halves are of a fish waves through the torrent and hopped onto the surface. Their long hair covered their breasts as they sat next to one another. "This is Alexander Nevsky of Rostock's Frontal Battlegroup, we're now in our last leg, comrade from the Woods." Their fingers trace through the locks of their hair as on the rocky cliffs appears the stern. Quickly, the one donning a wreath of sea leaves began to sing. "Oh ye of the waters-"

But then the overwhelming sound of steam turbines powering eight massive propellers underwater made her beautiful voice dim as a large battleship flying the flag of Rostock entered their view. The mermaids were unable to sing together as they watched the large vessels made of armored steel pass through. The wake it created was clashing onto their rock as water splashed onto them.

"Were followed by Queen Olga of Kiev and Vladimir The Great. This is the end as we prepare for dismantling." to the surprise and horror of the mermaids, the first battleship is followed by two others closely behind it. Its deck was clear of any people as their eyes watched its cold lifeless guns steady pointing forward. "Roger that, Alexander Nevsky. Kiel's One, Two, and Four will soon be opened-" before he could continue, someone grabbed the microphone, the Rostock Admiral onboard the bridge waited in bathed breath.

"This is General John of Eldwood. Joint Commander of the UN's Air Forces. Alexander, can you stay for a while? We have an issue at sea." The mermaids looked onto the metal machines, their imposing stature made them look like the creations of a mad God of War. There was nothing impractical about the ship, everything on its surface is coated with cannons and guns with what space remained given to observation and radars. "Comrade, we have left our shells back at our Bunkers and only have a portion of fuel. There's a reason why you can see the red paint and our speed. Ahahaha!"

"I've already begun speaking to your Guild Leaders. Druisvikings seems to be preparing a large armada on the coastlines of Angea. We'll need every ship we can get." Far away below the cliffside. The mermaids, with fear and disgust in their faces, hopped back into the waters as the three battleships continued onto Woodstock's Naval Port.

"Hello, hello. What fine weaponry can I offer you beauties?" Jackson wasn't even within the Queen's line of sight. His hands are already touching objects. "Oh wow, this is actual Angel Dust?" rummaging could be heard alongside the flapping of Bahamut's wings. "Damn, is this a legit Anti Vampire Dagger with a Ignore Armor stat?" Alana then peeks through the shelves and towards the counter. "OH YEAH! HOLY HAND GRENADES!" The Queen has her head down, towards the glass display.

Going to her, the two Vampires were curious of the odd devices and complex weapons scattered at the Mansion style shop. Alana was already touching things like a Whip. Closely inspecting it and detecting Divine aura from it. "Oh beautiful lady. That's a Special Whip meant for Vampire Masters and Nightstalkers. Grab them before they can teleport or speed out of the area."

Elizabeth though has her eyes on a pair of Magnum revolvers, her head tilting slightly as she leans in to inspect them. "Ah, you have a fine eye Miss. Colt's finest doused and blessed. It can do additional Divine Damage to Demonic, Vampiric, and Were-peoples." She then turned her attention to the bullets, with multiple differing types. "If you want, Belmont Arms can also manufacture specialty built guns."

"Hm, what would one recommend to a Vampire of high society?" the burly man rubbed his wide chin. His lips clasped together as he pointed it up and down, left and right. "Thompson Contender with an ornate finish and pearl grip? Colt Single Action with gold etchings?" He then unlocks the display and takes a pistol from the bottom row. "If you want something more modern, we have AMT AutoMag .50 Pistols. Although with special orders, we can give you 13mm to even 15mm semi automatic pistols and rifles."
