Chapter 13: The Christmas Offensive part 1: The defense of the Dwarven embassy.

Theme for the defense of the embassy.

"An earth shattering, mind shattering event that changed the course of history." Lelei La Lalena describing the Christmas offensive to Itami.

Falmart. Dwarven embassy. Warrior bunny capital. 2:30 am. December 25th. 1 AEE or 665 imperial calendar.

Stugrat Helm the dwarven ambassador to the GOC was peacefully sleeping until all of a sudden at about 2:00 maybe 2:30 in the morning an enormous explosion ripped through the embassy. He fell out of his bed and onto broken glass. The windows in his bedroom had been shattered and alarms rung.

His hands had been cut badly by the broken glass and he quickly grabbed his battle ax and tan down the hall where a GOC guard had already confirmed his suspicion Ls. The embassy was under attack.

Some 400 warrior bunnies had somehow blown a hole through the embassy walls or jumped over them. He heard multiple gunshots and saw the same GOC guard shooting out of the broken window.

Before he joined the battle Helm started making several phone calls to the king and other dwarven nobility and military leaders. For the rest of the attack he would remain on the phone explaining the situation and the need for the dwarves to take involvement in the new war that had just begun.

He pointed out to the king that the embassy was the citadel of the Dwarves alliance with the GOC and if it fell into warrior bunny hands it would not be a good look.

Falmart. Dwarven embassy. 3 am. December 25th. 1 AEE.

Captain Gravel of the GOC fired out of the window at the oncoming warrior bunnies as they leaped over the embassy walls and killed off the guards. Shit this wasn't how Christmas was supposed to go for him.

"They are heading towards the courtyard. Don't let them get to the courtyard." He barked at his men as several dashed to defend the courtyard. He heard gunshots coming from the second floor of the embassy. Shit had the bunnies already breached The second floor.

He then heard on the radio. "All call signs be advised the first floor has fallen. I repeat the first floor has fallen. We've lost the courtyard nooo!" Before it was cut off by something stabbing into the man on the radio.

If they took the courtyard the Helipad is next meaning the dwarven ambassadors couldn't get evacuated. "Ok you 3 with me." He said pointing at 3 embassy guards.

The guards were armed with some Scar assault rifles and a grenade or two along with a helmet though they lacked bulletproof vests.

Gravel ran down from the 3rd floor to the second floor. He needed to secure the Helipad. A warrior bunny dashed out of one of the halls and he put 4 bullets into her killing her in an instant.

One of the guards that was following me I saw get an arrow in his chest and collapse. The damn rabbits were sniping his men through the windows. "Get the fuck down." He yelled as the remaining two guards ducked as arrows flew into the building through the windows.

One of the guards crawled over to try to help his buddy with an arrow in his chest but Gravel yelled at him. "Forget him, he is as good as dead, we need to get to the Helipad." As he said this gestured for the two guards to move up.

They soon made it to the first floor. The warrior bunnies seemed to be scattered about the embassy. He saw a skirmish taking place on the second floor as he saw muzzle flashes through a window.

He and the two guards then ran through the courtyard gunning down any rabbit they saw and made it to the Helipad where they found some 20 GOC soldiers pinned down on one side. "What's the situation." Gravel asked as the Heli lad was showered by arrows. "We got about 30 to maybe 40 of these fuckers raining down arrows on us." Said a guard as he returned fire at some bunnies firing down arrows at them from a section of the second floor.
