40 Chapter 40 (1/2)

”AHHH!! MY ARM!! MY ARM!!” A Lunar soldier shouted as he rolled on the darkened soil smearing it with his blood as he wriggled in pain, he shouted incoherently just like the other hundreds of soldiers screaming in pain...

Right after he was killed, several tens of Axis soldiers charged the position of the Lunar base only to be blown into smithereens by artillery shells.

Once the first shell exploded, ten more shells followed forcing the Axis soldiers to retreat, what was once a prosperous city was now a battlefield with no building in sight, just rubble and gory dead bodies...

”We are retreating!” The Lunar commander ordered as the soldiers helped their allies and comrades alike and marched away back to their base.

The Axis Army Supreme Commander was not in a good mood, he had just gotten information that the enemy forces are advancing fast, their allied Axis-Nations destroyed by the superior Allied forces...

Their wave attacks proved to be useless under the enemies rapid firing weaponry and the only result was just more casualties...

The war had started not too long ago, five months to be exact, with both sides losing more and more soldiers but the enemy seems to be winning every battle.

But atleast it was his front that was losing, the Central Frontier(Republican side) and the Eastern Frontier(Satellian side) both had garnered much more positive results...

While the Empire is pushing back the forces from the west, it is being pushed back from the central and eastern regions.

But as long as the Kingdom isn't defeated, they have a big chance at winning this horrible war, the Empire is doomed to fall under the pressure from three sides...

'And then we can usher the world into an era of peace...' He sighed and went back to ordering his officers many of whom were already in the field unlike him.

”SIR! EMERGENCY REPORT FROM COMMS!” A Lunar soldier shouted and intruded into the tent hurriedly as he gathered the attention of the Generals that were discussing their war plans...

”Speak!” Ordered the Generals as the soldier saluted and opened his mouth.

”Satellian forces are preparing to attack the fort! Three Satellian armies are already marching, the enemy armies are estimated to be around two hundred thousand, four hundred thousand and one hundred thousand!” The soldier reported as the Generals frowned.

”That's seven hundred thousand troops... almost twice our numbers!” A General paled.

”Prepare the artillery! You are given permission to use our secret weapon...” the voice of the Head General reverberated in the room, there was pin drop silence...

The soldier quickly masked his shock and saluted, he then left to inform the rest.

”Is it alright to use them this early?” An old General asked the Head who sighed.

”Every soldier is important... we are currently outnumbered by our enemies therefore we need to close the gap and kill every single one of them, even if it means using top secret weaponry...” The Head General declares decisively as the others nodded and left the room...

”Alexis, I left the throne to you for a few months and you have already started a war...” Aurelius frowned as he sat on his throne while his son was seated on the table much to his annoyance...

”It's a talent!” Alexis shrugged and glanced at his father's face that turned red in anger and snickered.

”You better win this war otherwise it's not just you that will die...” Aurelius said solemnly as Alexis waved his hand calming him down.

”Don't worry, we won't lose... I'll make sure of it... I'm planning on going to the Eastern Frontier in two days!” He stated and left the room.

”I missed this chair...” Aurelius said and leaned on it blissfully...

'The Empire has twenty million active personnel and another fifty four million fit for service, if the situation is so bad, I will have to take in child soldiers into the military...' He sighed.

So far, the situation has been alright... the Empire and her allies have been holding onto their positions as the winning side, but it could change any moment and Alexis was worried about that.

He made love with Florestine the previous night and was now preparing himself to go into the battlefield once again, this time however, he had an army of one million soldiers!

They gathered at a forest not far from the capital and marched towards the Fort they had taken over from the Satellians a while back...

He glanced at the soldiers and groaned...

'These guys are new to the war... hopefully they will do good when fighting!' He sighed and turned to the iron machines that were roaring and moving about through the muddy ground...

'Hmm... the tanks look quite old fashioned but they atleast are faring much better than those of world war one...' he noted.

'Deuts-... Lunar Quality...' He chuckled as the Generals looked at him weirdly but quickly took serious faces hoping he wouldn't see them.
