Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

Allendale - Columbia

Mitch's report Sarna's Camp Allendale. All Command present. First United Armies planned stop and regroup.

Sarna asked, oddities, Mitch what do you mean? Hard to explain, somethin like a carriage made of steel or iron. Has a machine gun and a cannon. Makes some racket smokes somethin awful. Mac should of put a picture Kit drew of it in that letter.
Lost a bunch of people at Horrel Hill, tryin to take those oddities out. They was a moving on Arthurtown when Mac dispatched me here. Oh, we took two of them out. So they may have seven left I know about, were nine. Lan sakes may have more! Sarna looked at Louse then Ben, think we best read this letter. Louse nodded sounds like a Tank, I hope not I truly do. Lana shook her head, sounds like Louse is worried, guess these Tanks are strong.

Sarna read it and looked at the drawing, her face turned pale she handed the letter to Ben. Read it aloud Ben so all can hear, you're better at it.

To The Commander First United Army. From General MacTavish Army Carolina. We are under attack. Division size accompanied by some strange oddities. Our cannon have not inflicted any damage.
I know nothing of Phillips at this point. We shall hold we can't fight. Regards General Mac. Postscript.
General Jones is dead. Blasted Parrot gun blew up. Took his head plum off. If things get bad I'll pull as much Artillery as possible to re-join the Main Army
Plus support Troops Kits drawing of the oddity. Good luck I'll hold till relieved or till I can't. Kits drawing of the oddity below.

Ben finished put the letter down if Mac did hold.
I'm sure the losses were large. Is it a Tank Louse?
Yes, it most certainly is. I fear both Mac and Phillips have possibly fell. Mitch, you said two were gone? Yesum using those grenades Garret had made, we tossed them inside. Boy! They put a hurt on them. Might nasty thing those grenades are, Garret. Garret smiled they did the job? Yesum best way ta get yourself killed, only way ya can stop them. Ben looked around, we must know what happened at Columbia. Sarna stood I agree, Mitch get some rest leave early in the morning.
Check Columbia over. Catch back up to us, report your findings. Yesum Sarna, only need four hours rest hit it then. Lana said my tent Mitch get some rest. Thank Ya dear I mean Elder. Lana stepped out with him, see that little tent with the green pendant, that one is mine. Get some sleep I'll not wake you when I come in. Yesum thanks again.
