As we succeed to conquer the cliff, war is raging on all fronts. I'm asked to go behind enemy lines to capture crucial respawn points. As I exit the cliff with Ben, I notice shuffling in the woods. I grimace, it's the enemy. Pellets fly in all different directions, and guns sound through the air. We dart in seperate directions, and I hear Ben get hit. I curse, I'm alone. I move silently, by the fenceline. I notice the sunset. War is coming fast. It's almost time for the night war.
I Sprint down the paths and fine cover under a log. I activate my walkey- talkey.
"I'm in enemy lines, it's dangerous, I need more men.", I whisper to our commander.
"I'm sending 3 right now, Luca, to your position," he answers.
"Yes, sir," I reply, pocketing my device in my back pocket.
I turn abruptly, and take out my pistol. I shift it to my left hand and Sprint down the fenceline. Night has fallen, completely.
