As soon as the hour elapsed, all the 3rd rank and 4th rank high-grade soldiers of the Spartan republic that were called gathered together in a room.
Almost all of them were either external soldiers of the republic or those who were assigned as leaders of various territories. Every internal soldier of the Spartan army was already embroiled in the ongoing battle.
Not all the external soldiers of the republic were here, some were too far away to arrive immediately but they were surely on their way.
In a country-wide war like this, the Spartan republic did not leave any stone unturned that could turn the tides in their favor.
All of the soldiers gathered already completed their preparations. Not only were they armed to the teeth physically, but their psychological state was also already finetuned to welcome the atmosphere of war that would embrace them soon.
A solemn atmosphere was among them as they entered the room.
Following them in, Clark fe
In the ongoing battle, the soldiers of both sides were already showing signs of fatigue but neither side could rest. Like it was instinct to them already, they just swung their weapons repeatedly at each other. The Mocan soldiers were determined to breach the Presidential Villa and deal damage, while the Spartans were adamant to protect the symbol of honor of their country. The damage, vibrations, and loud sounds induced from the battle alone were enough to make a normal human disabled. Despite these extreme conditions, the soldiers from both sides persevered, partly because of the protective gadgets that they wore and partly because they were getting used to it. Amid this tug of war, a loud sound suddenly reverberated in the air that was able to attract attention despite the other cacophony of sounds. Whoosh! The first shuttle vessel moved through the air at an extremely high speed before it was deposited deep inside the Mocan ranks a
5th day of the Mocan-Spartan War.The first 2 days of the invasion were the days of shock and surprise, the next 2 days were the days of realization and despair to the normal Spartan citizens, while to the soldiers it was the days of the retaliation.On the 5th day, today, the battle at the Presidential Villa was still raging on. The only difference was that both armies now rotated shifts to rest, recover their strength, and battle again.The Spartan soldiers were able to hold on and stabilize the harrowing situation a bit, but they were still slowly losing ground to their enemies.On the 3rd day, the Mocan soldiers tried, making use of the advantage given to them by their 5 warships to batter hard at the Spartans but the defense of the Presidential Villa still held.Every other day, the defense of the Presidential Villa slowly withered. This was because as the Spartan war resources were slowly exhausted, their counterparts only revealed more.
In one of the underground shelters in Vatican City, the civilians huddled together in a huge hall, afraid of staying alone in the different cabin-like rooms built in the shelter for them. At this moment, the civilians had feelings of sorrow, fear, and horror for what tomorrow or even today had for them. The past 5 days have been the most hellish in some of their lives. Packed together in this underground shelter, they could not sleep nor rest as the sounds of the ongoing battle battered at their eardrums. The soldiers guarding them already offered them earmuffs, but it did little in alleviating the fear and trepidations in their hearts. The earthquake-like vibrations of the battle did not help matters either as it only made them more anxious and scared. Their nerves were stretched taut always, even in their sleep, they had no rest as they dreamt of Mocan soldiers storming this shelter and killing them all. The parents shivered while tr
6TH day of the war.Inside the Spartan Presidential Villa now was a scenario of solemnity and silence, but outside was the exact opposite as the fierce war pushed by the Mocans kept raging on.At the main underground shelter where most of the diplomatic leaders hid, anxiety, fear, and anger were the main feeling as these men of power vented in different ways.After battling unrelentingly for 6 days with the same intensity and ferocity, it could be said that the Spartan defense was already dwindling.During this duration, tens of thousands of soldiers already died from both sides but neither side cared about the loss as one side was prepared to protect their home while the other side was adamant in invading.At this moment, the dome-shaped defense structure protecting the Presidential Villa already revealed cracks in different places. It won’t be long now till it was destroyed completely.After repeated bombardment by the Mocan warships
“This is Sparta…”The old man stood in a daze as the word of the President reverberated in his mind. He wanted to speak again but when he focused, he saw no one, the President was gone.Bzzz!Outside in the battlefield, thunder seemed to streak through the skies as another shot from the main canon of the Leviathan bore a deep hole through the already weakened defense of the dome structure.As the Spartan soldiers frantically rushed to cover up the opening revealed in their formation by this breach, a figure suddenly flew out through the hole.The battle continued, but thousands of eyes looked up to see this figure.“Leonidas!”At the location of the battlefield where the 2 Mocan Commanders fought, their eyes constricted in slight trepidation and fear as soon as they saw this figure.Commander Rashford and Commander Arthur did not show much of a surprise on seeing the President. From the proceeding
Seeing the outcome of the clash that just happened, both the Spartan and Mocan armies were thrown into a daze amid their fierce battle.Disbelief and horror could be felt from the Mocan army, seeing their 2 seemingly invisible Commanders get so beaten in just 2 minutes and forced out of the battlefield sprouted all the horrors in their hearts.They felt like they were hallucinating, but they knew that it was real.For the Spartan army, the soldiers only felt reverence and adoration on seeing this. The morale which was originally slowly dying rose again, spiked, and blazed like raging wildfire in harmattan.“For Sparta!” They roared in unison.Then, like they received a strange buff, they became more effective on the battlefield immediately as they automatically switched their strategy from defense to offense.Every single Spartan soldier on the battlefield suddenly started punching harder, the ranged soldiers strangely started sh
On witnessing 2 of their warships being destroyed in the span of just over a dozen minutes, horror gripped the hearts of the Mocan army. Disbelief filled their hearts but they knew that they were not hallucinating. For years, the Mocan and even the Spartan soldiers believed that only warships could destroy warships. In their perspective, those were war weapons of technology that already transcended human capabilities. Now, this notion in their heart was ruthlessly cut off and replaced. Seeing the 2 crashed warships, they felt fear grip their soul. Despite the shock, the Mocan war leaders were able to react instantly. Immediately, they improvised in even more drastic ways. The Mocan army did not dare leave anything to luck and chances again. Blue fire spewed out of the sides of the enormous Leviathan, pouring out enough heat to propel it with speed as it immediately rushed to the side of the nearest warship closest to the Spartan President.
The same way that the Mocan forces infiltrated the Spartan republic in droves like an unstoppable tide, so also did they retreat like a tide of headless sheep without a shepherd.The Generals and military leaders who were part of the commanding brass tried to make it an organized retreat, but the vengeful Spartan soldiers did not let them.Now unrestrained, the Spartan air force finally had the opportunity to rule the skies. Spartan Fighter jets, War helicopters, airborne war machines all filled the skies in pursuit of the enemies.Bringing 80% of their forces for an invasion was an extremely risky venture from the onset, now the Mocans suffered the repercussions for real.Under the leadership of Commander Rashford and Commander Arthur, the Spartan army went on a rampage.Both Commanders did not hold back at all, they vented all their pent-up rage and frustration over the past 5 days, using all these to draw more power to massacre more efficiently
