Chapter 5 - Village Order

[ As we focus at the other side of the story we look back the order the Queen ordered to Cedric about eradicating the monsters that were terrorising the northern region of the kingdom]

[In strategy chamber Cedric and some advisors]

Cedric how are we gonna stop the monster cause the queen said to send out rank I and rank II troops,but you are chief strategist so how do you plan on stopping the monsters

^The advisor speaks

Well I don't know why her majesty would care about a village that doesn't even contribute 5% of the total kingdom resource but it's fine I'll just follow her orders till his majesty the king comes back from his expedition

^Cedric speaks

Let's move towards the training ground and tell the commander to send in the troops before the monsters advance

^Cedric speaks

[ Cedric and the advisors move towards the training ground to tell the commander about the queens order]

.....A few moments later.....

Commander Klein I have urgent orders from the Queen,her majesty

^Cedric speaks

(Commander Klein salute Cedric and greets him)

Chief strategist I welcome you to the training ground,what seems to be the urgent order

^Klein speaks

Well her majesty the queen would like for you to send in rank I and rank II troops to the northen region, village, Ollon and dispose of the monster disrupting the villagers

^Cedric speaks

Ohh! Rank I and II troops that is quite a tall order, but we received info that these monsters are just rank I wild dogs and goblins nothing needing rank II troops, has her majesty read the report....?

^Klein speaks

Yes! She did and still insists that we send out two ranks to the village and per order of the majesty her queen deploy these troops and fulfill this order or suffer punishment!

^Cedric speaks

(The commander salutes Cedric and goes to tell the troops)

Chief strategist I'll fulfill the order and eradicate the monsters from the village but it's gonna take us 4 days to arrive to the village..?

^Klein speaks

No worries I'll tell her majesty just fulfill the order

^Cedric speaks

(The commander heads towards the troops to convert the message)

TROOPS LINEUP!!!...we received orders from her majesty the Queen and was ordered to send out rank I and II troops,so squad 3 rank I you'll be deployed and squad 1 rank II you'll also be deployed you leave now, any questions because you leave

^Commander Klein speaks

(A raised hand)

Yes squad leader!

^Commander Klein speaks

Commander why is squad 1 leaving we are supposed to be fighting high end monsters not wild dogs and goblins or I'm I wrong commander?

^Squad leader speaks

Your not wrong squad leader but this is a command and an order from the Queen and saying no is treason,so you will follow orders and eradicate those monsters do I make myself clear!

^commander Klein speaks

YES COMMANDER SIR!!!

(All the troops answer and salute then prepare for the order)

[ The troops are ready and are heading out towards the northern region of kingdom,Ollon village]

....4 days later on the troops travelling to Ollon village.....

[One villager seems the troops heading towards their village and shouts are the villagers]

HEY EVERYONE HELP HAD ARRIVED WE'RE SAVED THE TROOPS ARE HERE!!!

^A village boy screams at the villagers

Hello there,I'm the squad leader of squad 1 rank II, reporting for monster eradication.

^squad leader speaks

What took you so long?, we did the best we can but this crisis was happening for 2 weeks and we sent the letter if help a week ago but you come now...but thanks for coming I'm the chief of this village Carro

^chief Carro speaks

Our apologies it's just that the is procedure and order we must follow we can't just do things without any order sir but we'll report this matter to the commander

^squad leader speaks

Fine fine!!, the monsters approach from the east and north if the village we were able to block them off using the carriages we have in the village and built a trench so they can think of jumping the carriages so far they have backed off but the carriages are reaching they're last attempt of stalling so I hope you can help

^Chief Carro speaks

Don't worry chief we'll eradicate and bring peace

^squad leader speaks

[ As the troops begin preparing the squad leader gives them instructions on how it's gonna play out]

Okay men missing is simple eradicate small monster then go home without lifting too much weight... okay so squad 1 is gonna look for the monsters and take care of them, squad 3 you help out the villagers clean up and sort the place,okay

^squad leader speaks

(The troops agree and split up to do their given orders, squad 1 head towards the east first it looks like the is more footprint towards that direction)

[ The troops enter a forest after following the footsteps of the monster as the are walking the hear russle and noise as the move forward, they continue moving forward and they reach a certain point where the noise is very clear and what they see was not in the report, in fact what they are seeing right now is a rank III hobgoblin and a rank IV troll and rank 1 goblins. The troops where stunned as they didn't know what to do, the squad leader told everyone to be quiet and still...as he was ordering that he looked at the furthest soldier towards him, gave him a hand signal to go call for help it's a class 4 emergency..the soldier saw the hand signal and made small movements as he was walking away, while he was walking away the other soldiers saw that he just signaled the soldier was that today everyone is gonna die today and the is no turning back....while the fear creeped in the only they can do was observe and hope the monsters don't pick up scent or movement....as the observed the soldier was moving slowly and making sure was not making noise as he was going to get help when he walking he was reaching the the end of the forest but as he was thinking he made it out.....a passing goblin spotted him....he knew if that monster alerted the other monsters everyone will be done for and so he looks at the gobbling and creates a noise cancelling spell and readies his sword....but as he's about to unsheath the sword a something taps he's shoulder and he looks behind him as he turns around it's a troll holding a huge hammer and is covered in blood... signaling that the troops are no more and the mission is a failure....and as he realises this the fear and cold sweat drops down his face and he let's out a big screen before he's crushed by the troll]

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!...(silence)

[The villagers hear the scream and realise that the troops failed and now is time to escape as the still can, the rank I squad heard the scream as well and to them they have no choice but stand ground and hope that the villagers can escape safely...]

Looks village chief take everyone and runs as fast as you can take take the horses we brought if the is not enough carry eachother... cause what ever made that scream means its not pretty...

^squad member speaks

Then what about you

^Carro speaks

LISTEN TO MY WORDS!!!! We don't have time to be having conversation right now take everyone and leave now then go straight to the commander and tell him that the report was wrong squad 1 is dead, okay remember those words if YOU can't find someone who can cause if whatever comes from that forest leaves this village then the neighbouring villages won't survive so do what I tell you and leave while the still time

^squad members speaks

Okay soldier I'll listen and take.....(turns around)... EVERYONE TAKE WHATS NECESSARY AND LEAVE THATS HEAVY,FIND A HORSE AND FIND A PARTNER IF SOMEONE HAS A HORSE RIDE AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!!!.....

[The chief tells the villagers, the villagers take what's needed and leave the nonessentials and take a horse, some ride with a partner and leave as fast as possible without looking back. The chief calls upon the soldiers and salutes them]

My brave soldiers thank you for your sacrifice and thank you for your bravery *Salute*

^Carro speaks

[ The soldiers salute back and turn towards the forest, the chief leaves immediately on the horse he's riding and doesn't look back, while in the village the squad leader speaks to him men one last time...]

Well men this is it I think we never truly know the wonders of being a soldier till this day, so I pray for all of your to seek salvation and reach your required heaven and hope we meet again in the next the next...!

^Squad leader speaks

[As the squad leader is talking a the is a shadow in the sky... something is falling asleep the troops look up the objects lands in front of them and it turns out to be a corpse of the soldier that screamed...as the soldiers looks at the body they can't identify or make out what they want to say....some feel sick I they stomach,while some look up towards the forest and see their opponents]

NOW MEN IM GONNA NEED YOUR HELP ONE LAST TIME, FOR HER MAJESTY,FOR HIS MAJESTY AND THE KINGDOM OF EMBERHOLT!!!!, FOR THE GREAT ANCESTORS OF THE SIGIL OF DOMINION....NOW CHARGE WITH ME TOWARDS OUR DEATHS!!!?...FOR THE SIGIL!!!!.....

^The squad 3 rank I leader is speaking

[ The soldiers charge the monsters charge also as the two small armies clash the monsters crush the soldiers without any problems...the village becomes a bloodbath of soldiers and destroyed houses...the crop field no more yellow now it's red and filled the crop field the monsters sensing that the soldiers came towards the west that must be where the is more people and they head towards the forest for rest than send out a wild dogs to do some recon and find out whats actually in that direction where the soldiers came from. The wild dog runs towards that direction and thats the same direction where the villagers went.... The villagers in high speed moving towards the training ground, they move and not thinking to much about the situation....they rest at a near by patch and give the horses a rest...they calm themselves down on the scream they heard, the chief sees that the wild dog is following them so he calls for his only son Jacob]

Jacob look I got a message from one of the soldiers and this message can help the village and eradicate those monsters, so I want you to take my horse and leave with it...

^Carro speaks

But father what about the villagers?

^Jacob speaks

Take the young ones and leave the elders they have lived we need to sure you arrive alive and make sure you can get this village to safety do you understand Jacob....

^Carro speaks

[The chief calls all the older villagers and tells them to if they finished talking to their children if so it's time to split up and secure safety for the village and children....the older villagers gather around the chief signalling that the are ready the children start crying but Jacob calms them down and gives his father assurance that he will get the children to safety....he's father nods and the older villagers start running in the wrong direction and heading towards a dense forest.....the wild dog takes the bait and follows the older villagers. The children look at Jacob and Jacob tells the children to ride the horses, if you can't ride, ride with someone who can we can't afford to leave anyone. The children ride the horses and head towards the training ground. While the older villagers are still running towards the forest the wild dog hawls and signals for reinforcement and 2 other dogs approach...signalling to the chief that this is a monster forest and the wild dog knew and is ready for launch....the villagers cornered,the chief picks up a thick branch, the other men pick up branches and the woman pick up rocks. The the went in front while the women went to the back the women started throwing the rocks to keep a distance while the chief and the other men starting to swing to the wild dogs if they came too close the, as this stalemate continues the one wild dog seems to be looking at the far side of the forest as if its thinking about the children and it's recon mission, as its turning around the the chief sees it and starts charging telling the men that if they want the children to survive they must kill the wild dogs,the men hesitant but start charging towards the dogs the wild dogs notice and start charging themselves but only the 2 charge while the third one goes after the children....]

NO!!!....COME BACK HERE YOU MONSTER MUT!!!!...

^chief Carro speaks

[ As he sees the third dog run towards the children he can only pray and hope that the kids made it....while the older villagers fight off the 2 wild dogs they give it their all even at the end they don't make the made sure to leave heavy wounds to the wild dogs that they don't have enough energy to take two steps they collapse on the ground and slamber to their death same as the villagers and what's left is the children and the last wild dogs, the dogs puts paw to paw by sprinting like it's life depends on it...cause if he couldn't bring back recon info to the rank IV troll then it was good as dead, so it made sure to accomplish its mission no matter what. The children still on the horses and still at full speed, are sprinting in full speed then one of the horses get snagged in a trap, snapping it's ankle off making it hard to continue it falls to the ground with a young village boy the others behind shout to Jacob...]

WE GOT A PROBLEM JACOB!!!!

^one of the village boy speaks

[Jacob loos back and sees that one horse is down meaning that a kid is also down Jacob tells everyone to keep running straight to the training ground and don't look back...the children listen and keep running without looking back... Jacob turns the horse and goes towards the fallen horse as he approached the horse the wild dog is also in the mist of catching up Jacob tells the boy to get on but the boy is hurt, Jacob takes the boy and helps him up the horse as Jacob sees the wild dog approaching at max speed he sacrifices himself to loosen the weight the horse has to carry slaps the horses butt and the horse moves faster the boy screams for Jacob]

JACOB!!!.....

^the boy screamed

It's okay I'll be right behind you

^Jacob speaks

[As the dog approaches Jacob sees the a rock, as the wild approaches it lounges itself at Jacob, Jacob turns around and times the dog opening mouth for the bite and shoves the rock in it's mouth making it unable to eat,bite anything...with now the rock stuck in-between the wild dogs mouth it's preoccupied into getting the rock out it's mouth, Jacob uses the opportunity to find a near by weapon he searches and searches...only thing available is the horse that's in agony and wants to healed, Jacob looks the the horse...]

I'm sorry my friend but I have to survive and to do that I'm gonna need your bone that is sticking out...(He rips the bone out the horse)

^Jacob speaks

NEIGHHHHH!!!!.....

^the horse scream it's last breath before collapsing from loss of top much blood

[ Jacob using this opportunity to take the bone and hit the wild straight at it's cranium and with multiple hits the wild dog finally collapsed and is dead....Jacob feeling relieved, realises that he doesn't have time to relax he runs towards the training ground and hopes everyone is safe. The children safely reaching the training ground the soldiers confused and worried approach the children]

Hey hey!!!.....Are you kids okay why are you like this,where did you come from and why are some of you covered in blood...!??

^One soldier asked

Please save Jacob he's fighting a monster by himself please save Jacob....*crying*...

^one child speaks as she's crying

[ With no time for gear prep or questions just take the horse and run straight to the direction of where the kids came from, with a total of 50 soldiers heading towards that direction,Jacob on the other hand was still running hoping that he could make it but 5 days of running non stop he's body collapsed and he falls from the ground...as he goes down he sees a glimpse of things coming towards in his last desperate moment of survival he lifts the bone he's been holding....]

I'll.....sur--vive...no....ma--tter...wh--t....di..y...mo....tr.....(He collapses to the ground)

^Jacob speaks

Squad leader I see someone over there I think it's the kid

^soldier speaks

HEALERS!!!!!...I NEED HEALERS OVER HERE!!!!..... QUICKLY!!!!...

^squad leader shouts

.....2 weeks later....

[ Jacob opens his eyes and sees he's in a room, as the thought process comes in a quick flash he relied that the children...]

*Gasp*....the children where are the kids....

^Jacob speaks

Calm down kid everything is taken care of, the kids are fine,they have treated and the have been feed so everything is fine....you might be wondering who am I, I'm commander Klein and kid what you did out there takes real guts and I think your father would be proud.

^commander Klein speaks

Wait does that mean you taken care of the monster in the village

^Jacob speaks

Yes we did and we found the bodies of everyone including the villagers who helped you escape

^Klein speaks

*Crying*....you found my father, that's great now I can see....wait when you say you found the bodies does that mean.....

(The commander hesitates a bit)

Yes your father is not with us anymore but his sacrifice and the other villagers did a great and protected you. Your father is buried at the training ground cemetery out back you can go and see him when you calmed down a bit....oh! And kid when you need some form of revenge or a place to help you not be in the same situation twice the army is always looking for candidates and the way you handled things you might become the next commander in the next couple years if you put your mind to it....

^commander Klein speaks

[Jacob gets out of bed and heads towards the grave site on his way he sees the children safe and sound, while passing by soldiers great and salute Jacob for his bravery and determination till the very end, the children hug him and accompany him to his father's grave, he looks at the grave and starts crying... looking down in the moment the commander tells the soldiers to do a soldier salute for Jacob's father as he's was part of the military, with guns firing, Jacob falls to the ground and cries even worse but he says one last this to his father....]

Thanks Dad and happy birthday, I hope you find mom the and you guys enjoy some wonderful cake, presents and gifts money can buy, I'll carry this touch for now and I hope I can become a better son and father like you thanks dad for everything....*crying*

[ With the monsters killed, the village destroyed the memories of the loved ones are remembered,the sacrifices of the brave remembered, some regret to have listened and did what was ordered while some feels like they can change the date of what happened,but with the Queens order being filled and done this marks the day of "Patriot Day" the day where soldier and civilians alike are celebrated for everything they have to offer in this kingdom and why it's important to have faith in what you believe and nothing else....The village Order]
