3 Abandoned For (2/2)
”Sir, what should we do now?” The squad leader asked me.
”Call captain Yugorov, the area, is relatively safe for us and tell the tank to shoot open the door,” Lance said to a soldier with a backpack that had an antenna and a telephone-like com kit.
”Roger that sir,” he said as he told captain Yugorov to move in, and a cannon shot could be heard in the background in combination with heavy machine gunfire.
Lance expected the cannon shot, but he didn't expect the heavy machine gun fire since the fortress itself was supposed to be empty. Well, better check things out before everything go FUBAR.
He ran to the tank with his group and readied his rifle in front of his shoulder in case something that he didn't want to meet, came. However, the fear of the infested fortress slipped his mind since this is a magical world where everything happened.
On the gate of the fort, he could see the tank rained down the fortress with heavy machinegun rounds, and the soldiers were also started to close into the fortress while shooting their AK-47. The rain of bullets was raining the fort, engaging a target that Lance didn't even know what.
After he peeked at the fortress, he finally saw what they engaging, a bunch of dead soldiers that had turned alive was. They walked like a mindless zombie, but still possessed enough threat for our company, so they decided to wipe them all out.
”Courtyard clear,” the tank commander said as a bunch of zombies was lying on the ground.
Lance moved first to the fortress and opened a large brown broken door on the fortress located deep inside the fortress that leads to the room of the commander of the fort itself. He kicked opened the door and turned on the flashlight of his rifle. He encountered a zombie and put three rounds of 7.62 Russian to the torso of the zombie. He put the rifle on his back and continued to inspect the room with his TT-30 pistol.
He opened the wardrobe of the commander and coughed from the dust that was coming out of the wardrobe. He coughed severely to the point that he wore his gasmask that was placed on the back of his rig.
The wardrobe contained the outfit of the commanding officer of the fortress itself. It was a red coat with a signature officer hat on it. It was like a 17th-century British officer uniform. Well, the technology in this world is around that except for the part that magic is involved in this world.
”Good for disguise, I think,” He said as he looked at the well preserved dusty uniform that is only needed to be washed once. He thought that that thing will come in handy later. However, he must be careful when using that uniform since he didn't know the user of the uniform in the first place.
Suddenly, a lot of broom broom sound from the engine of the armored vehicle column had arrived at the fortress. The soldier had already moving to clear the multiple room that were available in the fort. The soldier had already strengthened the position by placing several DShK heavy machine guns on the hole in the wall. The tanks were on stand by in front of the gate of the fortress, and the BTRs were placed near the opening of the forest to protect them from any threat.
He looked up the roof and saw a chandelier placed on the room and turn it on by lowering it using the special lever on the wall near the door and light it up with his gas lighter. He raised the chandelier again, and the room was finally lit up by the candle and revealing a desk and a bed on the room, which was well preserved for its age. 'I guess only the wardrobe that is full of dust,' he wondered.
He rested in the almost cleaned bed and took a nap since the other soldiers were on their private time as well.
2100 hours, eight hours after the operation started.
He opened the door again and saw the full fortification that was made in a concise time. In the middle, he can see the main battle tank was stationed in the middle of the fort. In another section of the port, the soldiers were burning the bodies of the zombies. The soldiers had already stationed for a patrol on top of the fort wall. A lot of lamps were placed around the fort and enlightened it.
The captain approached me from behind and asked me, ”Beautiful, isn't it?”
”Yes, it is,” Lance said as he gazed at the afternoon skies.

”Capitan, do you know what a first-rate ship is?” Lance asked in curiousness.
”Well, why do you ask that?” Mikhail asked Lance back.
”Just wondering,” Lance tried to hide the fact of the attack that is imminent on the fort.
”A first-rate ship was the designation for the largest ships of the line, equivalent to the 'super-dreadnought' of more recent times. Some models were equipped with more than a hundred cannons. Well, the cannon can't penetrate our armor, but that is not the problem, the problem layered on the unaware personnel casualties, why do you ask?” Mikhail asked.
”Get the general on the line and tell him to tell the squadrons and send a backup here, something is going to be very wrong tonight,” Lance said.
”Yes sir,” he said as he walked away from Lance.
Lance ran to the radio communication post and grabbed one of the headphones that were placed there. He heard the dialog between the radio communicator and the lookout on the MBT, BMP, and the patrol on top of the fort wall.
”Dimitri 1 to CP, An unknown light has been spotted in the south side of the fort, might be a threat, permission to engage?” He heard that from one of the tank commanders.
”Zoya 3 to CP, A white object has been spotted near the sea. The object is still unknown over and out,” He heard that one from the BTR that was placed on the shoreline.
Suddenly, rain of cannonballs was fired at the fort.
