Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

Baldwin

Sarna sat drinking her tea, Ben, Louse we won't stand as they walk in today. Respect they won't get today, they will agree to surrender Savannah or die in place. Soon as they leave, send Liza have half our cannon both Armies bombard Savannah.
Tomorrow we break the lines, enter Savannah.
She will fall in two days, no more.

Roberts stopped them as they neared the door.
I'll give her the impaling of redheads, then I'm going to frighten them, tell them about our tanks and airplanes. She may just surrender on the spot.
If not, our people are watching, as we leave they'll charge in with the tanks, rid us of Sarna for good.

Sarna pointed at the door, they don't get in till I say. Louse is Garret in place, just in case? Yes, our messenger got in and out without being seen.
He is in place. Sarna let out a deep breath, let's hope his shell works if he needs it. Guard it's ok the door can open. Sarna didn't say good morning or morning, have a seat, let's begin. Sarna I'd like to say, only to reiterate that. Sarna broke in, Miss Roberts I'll speak, for now, you will listen! You will start taking prisoners, not impale innocent women or men, for that matter. Now, most important part regards your life, surrender in the next twenty-four hours or you'll all die! Die, we are under a flag of truce to talk. I'm willing to stop impaling people. Are you saying we can't leave here? You plan on killing us? Sarna smiled, no you'll return to Savannah. Savannah will fall you will more than likely die.

I've got, news for you redheaded youngster! Not only will we not surrender, we have weapons of the likes you've never seen before! Sarna smiled if youngster was meant to offend me, it doesn't youngster can mean anyone younger than yourself! Now! Bitch my weapons. Sarna shouted above her if you are talking tanks and aircraft!
We know of those, in fact, we sunk your carrier destroyed at least two of your tanks, in Columbia.
The carriers name was Carter! If you would of bothered to read prisoner counts, you would of seen them listed bitch! Alsip shouted sink a carrier with your ships and cannon, truly a laugh. Sarna laughed yes we sunk it, forty prisoners, off her!
Louse escort them out of here, send them to Savannah! They truly wish not to negotiate.

Yes, Sarna, I'll enjoy doing it, only regret not keeping Alsip, he should die for impaling people.
Roberts stood, you will regret this, not giving up now! Alsip smiled I can't wait till we meet again Sarna, that will be my pleasure. Ben shouted no the pleasure will be mine! Alsip and Roberts headed for the door, you coming, General? In a moment, Ben thank you for allowing me tobacco,
Sarna, if you wish you may take me, prisoner. For allowing these things to happen. I would rather die like an honest soldier than with these fools. I am sorry, you are under a flag of truce General. You are a soldier, from one leader to another. I Sarna salute you. Ben pulled some tobacco out put in a tin, here plenty maybe four smokes. Good luck General. Thank you, bye, your leave.

Ansted climbed in the wagon, you both are fools!
Can you not see, they have something we don't.
They feel they don't fight, for entitlement, to be Chosen, they fight for freedom, there Lands homes
each other! Yet help even our wounded, comfort them. Chosen, entitled, food chain. Our people have no will like they have. Roberts said are you finished? Louse I suppose you'll signal our troops to leave. Roberts, we will drop one of your guards to do that. You will make it to Savannah safely on my honor. Only down this little hill, we'll drop him at the bottom. He'll climb the next hill to our left, he will find them easy enough. Oh, and he stays.

Louse almost wanted to laugh, we are ready if you try something. Lana, stop here, your guard can get out. Roberts pointed you go. Louse pointed, Lana, when ready. The wagon rolled back then jerked forward leaned right some as they moved on.

Mitch leaned around the trees peered over a clump of roots, well now. Sarna must of peeved them off. Might earlier than I expected. Fellers go on do somethin stupid. Aha, that's it get those oddities to makin noise. That Cut Throat Garret made somethin called thermite tipped shell. Lan sakes like ta see if that works. Got gits they a moving towards Springfield least the infantry is.
Mitch kicked his horse, rode hard towards Garret and Springfield. Infantry headed this way! Infantry headed towards ya Garret! I heard Mitch! Bye, your leave Sir. Bye, yours Mitch! Aha, come on horse, gotta warn Sarna! Mitch threw his leg over the saddle as the horse stopped. Cap, Liz, where is Sarna? Infantry on the way! The Inn, Mitch tell her to leave, her and Ben! I've got this covered! Yesum.

Mitch burst through the door, Sarna, Ben best be moving, theys a coming! Mitch, we won't be leaving, Ben get our weapons. We are staying we need to know if this shell works. Sarna, we can at least get where it's safe! No, we are fighting Ben, tired of staying out of this. Can't tell our Army to fight if we don't. Ben nodded fine, guess you are right! Liz ran in Mitch your rifle! You got the lower front window break the upper glass use a chair to stand on! Not much time! Sarna best be leaving!
I've got the attic window! Passing Ben I said you two best leave! Ben shouted back were staying!

Garret looked over the barrel of the cannon. Four cannon two tanks. Must be them strange noise they make. Get ready to fire, aim true you Cut Throats! When they make a clean target boys. Gun one first one gun three the second one, two on the first three ya know which you got. Boom Boom as the cannon fired! Flames shot up and around the turret of the first tank thuds and booms sounded from inside. The second tank lost its track unable to move its turret turned towards the firing. Two and three cannon fired. The turret blew off, the rear of the tank engulfed in flames. Secondary explosions rang out. Garret smiled shouting yes! Yes, Lucas, you taught me a good trick! Make ready to move! Best get out a here, right fast!

Lana stopped the wagon, Louse, you hear that?
Roberts laughed, probably my tanks taking out your leader. Louse smiled could be we took out your tanks. Alsip shook his head, you wouldn't know how. Ansted said don't ever think your enemy is stupid, Political Officer. Louse lit his pipe worry about it later. If you did kill Sarna, I or her Father, Lana someone would take over. We won't stop, till we can't fight then we'll throw rocks and beat you with clubs. We have a reason to go on and keep going. Your Army only fights because they must or be shot. Die fighting or die doing nothing.

The Infantry maneuvered between cover closer to the Inn. Liz watched as they got closer. Only about hundred more yards, I'll drop you like pigs in a slaughterhouse.

Meeting didn't amount to much, both sides learned something about each other. Thermite was invented about 1893, originally called Goldschmidt reaction or process. I know much after my time period for the Thirteen Lands. My world right. Thanks for reading comment vote if you please. Probably thinking Dram what waste of two chapters.
What did Sarna Learn, think about that.
