Army of the Damned

VOLUME 6 Chapter 7

Sounds of crushed snow fill the air as a pair of soldiers trudged through the knee deep powder as voices made them look up. Silently reading a Translation book underneath a camouflage tent as the Captain of Eldwood and the Men of the Woods was next to the blonde woman. The lone Vampire Captain of the Minuit House kept his distance as he watched from afar the two officers draw lines on the map. "Look, we cannot move anymore forward. I don't know what's with you Eldwood people but not even your helicopters can fly with this weather."

As she checked her sentences and grammar, the woman pushed her pen up to the back of the Eldwood Major who turned around and took a look at her paper. "Oh, you're doing quite well. But... if I can ma'am. Be sure to shorten words. Rather than; could you perform this task, a simple do it now will work for that sentence." Even though her Purple Dress covered the entirety of her body, the approaching player could clearly see her sexy outline and bust, her long slender legs and arms as she revealed her face to the world.

Her emerald eyes shone far away, and her long golden blonde hair mixed with the snowy forest around her made the Vampire Queen seem like a heavenbound Angel on Earth. His foot stopped for a moment as his hands blocked his Junior Officer.

For a flash, they both just observed her before she looked up to them. The two breathed in as they approached her. "Miss Carmilla. You called for us?"

"Yes. As I am studying your language in a more thorough manner, I find the slowness of our pace to be quite dispiriting." The young stubborn eyed and tall Colonel with white hair wasn't having any of it. Visibly annoyed that she's not doing anything even though she is one of the most powerful beings in the entire continent. "Miss Carmilla, we are pushing the bounds of our logistics. We need to secure this Fortress City and establish a hardened supply point."

"Really? I've sent the scouts from the Minuit House and they've already told me that they're not far now. I'd rather have us continue even for a little more." The Colonel and Captain were shocked by her English, though her tone still needed a bit of work, her overall skills have greatly improved and she already had an accent going. "Miss Carmilla, what will we do then if our vehicles run out of fuel in the middle of a snowstorm?"

"Oh, have the Scouts drag it. They cannot question my authority as the sole Regent in charge. Not even that Captain from the Minuits." She then closed her book as she lifted her head up to stare at the Colonel's hazel eyes. "The Officers of the Men of the Woods are quite the star chasers, aren't you? Paving supply points as your invading army approaches."

The Colonel stared at her with fury behind the iris of his eyes as the Captain next to him saluted and bowed. "Woah, you've improved, Lady Carmilla! I can hear a French-American English accent going on. But Romanz sounds more like a mix of German, French and Dutch though... uhm, can you at least permit us to siege this place and take it over?"

He then points to the numerous foxholes and mortar pits the players had dug into the soil. "The men have been pushing themselves day and night to catch up. If they're already near to us, a helicopter with thermals should pick them up in no time. Isn't that right Captain Randall?"

Donning the same hue of Multicam, with the only difference between them were the patches on the sides of their uniform, the Eldwood Officer nods. "Yes, but Colonel. A Siege Ribbon says you have to be fighting for more than three days. General Jackson is only half a hundred kilometers, even with Junior pulling them. The snow will hamper their speed."

He then walked out of the tent and nearly brushed chest with the Men of the Woods Officer. "I'll give you till this afternoon. If you don't finish this, I'll take the Combined United Nations Units and the Helicopter Wings our Generals had handed to us. Fight that city without air cover for all I care." a clap of the hand made everyone's head turn to Elizabeth, sitting down in a camping chair as she laid the book down.
