Dimming Light

Chapter Seven: War

Before we just charge in Heliea and fight, we have to keep track of where everything would be. I know Heliea best of all. Sapal, Solstice, and I sat on the ground. One of the Cantalean guards handed me a piece of paper, along with a pencil. I drew an outline of the country we're waiting to attack. Obviously Hunst is in the center, surrounded by Freile to the southwest, Wær to the northwest, Sacaw to the left. These were the major counties/towns. If we took these out first, it was a straight shot to Hunst, where Fritz would be waiting for us. First, we hit Freile, so we have access to air. Then, we hit Wær for their naval supplies. We end in Sacaw where the biggest battle will occur. Sacaw is the town of Army supplies and weaponry. Finally, we hit Hunst.

We made it to our first destination, and everything was planned perfectly. We attacked, but Fritz must've known we were coming, he pulled the troops out of Freile, except the basic outline troops. He knew alright, the planes were gone. Now what? We were going to rely on those planes for Sacaw. Now how are we going to win that battle? I knew if I showed this weak mentality to my troops, they'd give up right on the spot. We headed out of Freile and into Wær. Again, it was a ghost town. I really should've taken Fritz for more of a threat. This is terrible. No planes, no ships, nothing.

As we entered Sacaw, this wasn't good. The planes were here. The army was here. Everything was here. We headed behind the barracks. There they were, an army full of three times the amount of troops we had. It was like going up against a 18 ft tall Giant. Solstice had an idea, she wanted to attack from above. We climbed the back of the barracks, and it worked. We made it past the troops and now have the supplies. Next up, Hunst.

Cantale was already three times the size of Heliea by now, but it wasn't enough. We needed control of it all. Besides, Fritz needs to be justified.

Since Hunst was the capital of Heliea, they made it the most defensive area in the country. Around Hunst, there was practically a dome, or a huge wall in the shape of a dome. It was a clear safety dome with the top open. That was our goal....air.

The higher ranks of our military went and flew to the top of the dome, near the opening. Then, it happened. We attack Hunst. We attacked the strongest city in the world.
