Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

Durns Folly

The Republic, Political Officers aren't Field Commanders. Sarna seems to have the upper hand, here. The finish at Santee.

Colonel Durn, we must retreat or attack! One of the two, we are taking far to many losses! Captain, I'm at a loss, here how have Volunteers, Farmers Bakers just a few real soldiers fought us so well?
I am going to be blunt Sir, fools like you! Leading an Army! Now regroup us! We may not win the day. Least we'll die moving not like in a slaughterhouse! Durn shook his head, Captain I turn command over to you, how bad is our middle and rear?

Can't you hear? Sir listen they've stopped firing, they are moving forward. To retreat would be a mess. Working our way back through that! No, we must attack our only option, or retire Sir. Form up our remaining troops, we'll attack. Retiring isn't an option at this point.

Fortification

Garret knelt near Sarna, we best end this, before they think of something, Sarna. Liz said no worries my people targets of opportunity. They move they get shot. Garret nodded. Sarna looked at him, Garret two Divisions, you take charge. When they come, and they will. We'll hammer them with cannon and Martin gunfire. When that stops meet them, destroy them, Garret. I was thinking the same, already have them ready to take them on.

Mitch slid in next to Ben, Sarna, Jacob, and Lana have moved a Division up to block the ferry crossing. I am a adding this, puts me in the fight, stuck in this makeshift fort! Why it's Tom Foolery.
Ben said no Mitch stay put, done enough chance taking for a spell. Tell both of them good move.
Yesum bye, your leave.

Liz looked through her scope, they are forming up! Out a range still. Garret said good luck you three, best be moving. Sarna looked at the forming Army.
They have two options make for the river cross it and turn away. I'm thinking they are going to charge us, not in them to quit. Just not in them to quit, Ben, Liz best be ready. Sarna we could just let them charge straight into us, why send Garret to meet them? Ben, we stop them, less chance of more lives lost. Better to try and do that.

Route step match! Durn watched as they moved forward. Oh, DJ, we may be beat, I'll not charge into that field of death. Terrence and the rest should be dead stuck in the middle of all that firing. I rather like torturing you, think I'll drag you along with me, a while longer. You would like that. Why when we get back, you'll have a room.
Such fun we'll have. Durn, you won't be leaving.
My thinking is, you are had, just like the rest here are. Durn grinned, a thought turn you over. I'll negotiate, get a free ticket out. What pulling her close, no response? Oh, DJ, shame it is you are built for breeding. Yet, you are the enemy, laughing no children for you.

DJ, thought a moment, what if I am, you know with child? Yanking the chains, if you are, and I keep you. Well, I'll just gut you and eat it. DJ smiled, it would be yours. Durn jumped up enough! I grow tired of you, kicking her in the stomach. Why they've met. Two Armies at odds. DJ said no three, your rear, Durn.

Durn crawled back some, why gentlemen I am at a disadvantage. Colonel Durn here, This lady here, why she has gone mad. Thinks I've tormented her.
Louse said no, no Sir, you Sir are a Political Officer.
I know the uniform well. Colonel Terrence to the front, please!

Terrence limped forward, Louse that is him! DJ good ta see you alive! Durn now, I shall do as I said! Louse shouted no! Terrence not here or now!
Ranger Thomas hold him for now! Major keep moving forward. Battle still rages to our front.

Fortification
Sarna never called a ceasefire, the cannon Martin guns and snippers finished the job. Durn's Army destroyed. Louse asked do we turn that scum over to Terrence let him kill him? Sarna looked at Ben and Jacob, Father and Ben can decide on that. I would let him tear him apart. First Louse are they all dead? Louse nodded all but that scum, such a fools folly. Our losses anyone? Negligible Sarna.
How many Lana, Louse, anyone? Lana said just a few thousand in such a large scale attack, good numbers. Sarna nodded sounds like pieces on a checkerboard, only lost three checkers. I won with two kings.

Father, Ben Terrence? Jacob crossed his arms, I see or know nothing. Terrence can do what he pleases.
Ben looked down, Sarna, it goes against my thoughts, turn him over to Terrence. He is just evil beyond my thinking. Louse allow Terrence to finish this. Lana you and Garret take care of the dead. Once that is done, we plan for Columbia.

Terrence slashed Durns arm, then his hand. See how it feels! The pain, Durn will it stop? Why you cry like a baby Durn. Slashing his cheek. Durn screamed stop! Please stop! Terrence stopped, Durn, you wretched beast, plunging the saber deep into his gut, look at me, Durn look at me! Twisting the saber, a swift jerk up and pulling the saber out. Terrence walked away. Louse, please put that one on a pike. Impale him! Let him be prey!
