314 Strikeback begins 1 (1/2)

”Hey! Over here and be careful! Move it to the storage room!”

”Be careful over there! That's gunpowder!”

”Didn't you hear the instructions?! Food is stored there! Don't come this way!”

”I'm sorry, sir!”

”Ugh, what is this smell anyway? Is something rotting in there? Hey, stop! Is that even food?”

One of the carts was stopped and the officer who was in charge of supplies quickly came over and pulled off the cover. Inside, there was a chopped up pile of dead horsemeat.

”Ugh! Horses?!”

The officer frowned and backed away as the soldier nodded.

”Yes, Sir Burel. It's a dead horse from yesterday's fight. We could only bring it back today. Baron Gerdan told us to move it back so we can process it and use it as meat. There will be a few more of these carts coming, sir.”

”Ugh, Baron Gerdan said that?”

”Yes, sir.”

”Are you sure we can eat this?”

”Yes, sir. We can boil soup with the bones.”

The war had been going very well. As the first to attack, the Dentrion Kingdom was able to occupy a total of seventy-nine fortresses from the Khalodian Empire. It was a sneak attack, but the victory came easily. They had been well-prepared to strike at the Empire and it paid off.
