By decree of his Highness any citizen collaborating with the enemy will be severely punished.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rain had finally stopped, for a few hours the enemy aerial bombardments had been silent. Only the birds and the sound of footsteps in the mud seemed to break the silence.

James and 2 of his companions had been assigned to the radio. They deployed the wire that would be used to communicate to other units. They had stopped in an old abandoned cemetery to eat. James sat down on a random toen and started his cheese, his companions did the same. One of them, Maxime, also remained on the lookout, binoculars in hand.

- Don't you think it's weird that the bombing has stopped?

James shrugged

- The war may be over!

Steve joked before he shut up. He was staring haggardly at the path that ran alongside the cemetery. He quickly took his binoculars and zoomed in: In the distance, an armored column, followed by a large marching infantry, Rorarians, no doubt. Steve ran to his acolytes.

- Some ... Some ... Some ... Infantry ...

- Where ? How ?

James decided that getting out was better. But suddenly one ball whistled, and another, they bounced off the gravestones with a thud. Deep voices and racing footsteps were heard behind them.

- We separate guys, the first to arrive at the camp warns the others!

James ran, as fast as he could. Every time his brain told him to stop he thought of Anna and redoubled speed. A scream pierced the thickets to the left of him, shots fired. He ran for a good half hour and found himself alone near an empty road. Only. Explosions of great intensity echoed on the left as distant shots echoed.

Voices, suddenly, James quickly hid behind a large oak tree and glanced discreetly. There were 5 of them, Rorarians, but one of them did not have their uniform. Suddenly he recognized it: it was Steve. He seemed annoyed and walked haggard. James gently loaded his own rifle and aimed at the men. The oak received a flurry of fire. James fired and reloaded. After a while, an explosion fell right in the middle of the soldiers, limbs flew.

James looked for the origin of this divine explosion and saw 3 Valkunosian trucks. Stretcher bearers and soldiers came out. The captain of his division quickly got out of one of the trucks and walked over to James.

- Hurry up soldier. They attacked in the east, Company 5 will try to hold them back in order to give us time, we are retreating to Verdo. Let's go!

James got into a truck alongside other soldiers. The engines roared and the vehicles moved forward.

Glory to Valkunosia, Hail the Confederation
