Chapter 35
Once Gwen was reloaded she resumed her tactic. Left and right she would be hearing the sounds of death. The pleases of people begging to be saved. But they had a bigger objective right now. It bothered Gwen that she would have to leave her comrades on the ground bleeding out and she wondered if they would be carried away before the forest was blown up. It would be terrifying to be left on the floor of the battlefield and then to be abandoned by your own side and left to suffer with the enemy. But at least the end would not be due to the Paria-Drae, so there had to be some sort of relief in that. At least, that was what Gwen hoped.
Suddenly, a bullet whizzed past her ear and she felt a searing pain on the tip. She could not take her hand off the gun to check but it was obvious that she was merely grazed by it. The relief that flooded through her body as she realized that she could have been ended by that bullet almost made her slump over, but she kept her b

Her hand was not the problem, it was her ear, it burned so badly and she was practically ripping apart the sheets when Doctor Reeves was applying ointment to it.“Can’t you just kill me,” she panted. “I can’t do this anymore. Just chop off the ear. I can live without it.”He held her down with one arm and he applied the ointment with the other. “I get that you were hit in such a delicate place but please refrain from being so dramatic. I will not help the situation.”Gwen could have guessed that her entire ear was burning red and that the wound was bleeding and looked to be the worst part. It was worse than she imagined and the bullet had not just brushed past the ear but had nipped off a little bit as well. And she was too focused on trying to stay alive to notice.“If I leave it then it could get infected and then you will experience even more pain th

A different approach was a good thing. It keeps one's opponent on their toes and makes them doubt what you’ll do next. Gwen was sure that Ace was going to give her a marvelous reaction when she didn’t act the way he expected her to. It was a bit of fun before the second wave started. Gwen wanted to relieve stress somehow, and seeing how she had just suffered at the hands of Doctor Reeves, what better target could there be, besides Ace.The people that followed him looked to be about five and they all were definitely older than him. Now, Gwen had no reason to be anybody's business, but why would these hard-back men, be a bunch of yes men for an immature peacock? The oldest looked to be about ten years older and there was only one option- actually two. They were sucking up to him to look good in front of his father or the General, or, they were just plain stupid with a similar mentality to Ace.Gwen would have pointed it out and

The General had predicted that the enemy would approach Fort Brimburg when the sun broke past the horizon. Unfortunately, he was wrong there. Despite losing a big part of their army, the soldiers of Paria-Drae collected themselves faster than expected and were marching towards the camp, long before dawn.They first became aware of their presence because of their footsteps. Walking in uniform and sounding so creepy that it made Gwen shiver. It was like they were all puppets being controlled to perfection. But then again, it’s kind of what they were. The Queen as the puppet master, making hundreds of people kill and lose their lives for her own benefit.Gwen wondered if the soldiers knew that they were not going to benefit one way from the war. If the Queen got her way then she would just take all the gold from Estril and use it in ways she saw fit, for her benefit alone. There was no giving back to the people or helping out other nati

Gwen slumped against the side of the building, trying to calm her beating heart, but then she saw a few people around the corner and approach her. She immediately jumped into action and held up her gun, ready to shoot, but then calmed down when she saw that it was people on her side.“Chester what are you doing?!” one of them yelled, she remembered that he was of higher rank than her, she didn’t know how or what it was, but she still decided to hold back on any sarcasm she would have used in a tense situation.“We are dying out there! We stand no chance against those people, we are being cornered and they are slaughtering us! What was I supposed to do?! Stand there and let them kill us all?!” Gwen waved her hands, and almost facepalmed, realized that she was sarcastic. It came out so naturally sometimes. And besides, it kind of was the perfect way to get her point across. She had no clue why people were just s

Tearing herself away from all the possibilities of insults she could have fired at Ace, Gwen came to realize that she wasn’t just having any old conversation with him and that they were actually in a war, like, they could die kind of war. Gwen looked behind Ace and smiled, a Paria-Drae soldier rounded the corner and had spotted them, and as quickly as that happened, Gwen had raised her gun and shot him. The bullet went through his head and he dropped dead on the ground. Gwen hoped that she would be able to get headshots for the duration of the fighting. She did not want to waste bullets and half kill a guy.“There, we’re even.” Gwen smiled at Ace.He just scoffed without saying anything. The two of them walked out but stayed close to the wall and observed that the fighting was at a substantial-high. The speed at which people were tearing through each other was on the border between exciting and terrifying. It seemed

Once Gwen crossed the road, she had realized that there were two shooting ranges on either side of the main road. She didn’t need to cross the road. Gwen felt like an idiot as she maneuvered through the forest and practically kicked herself at her stupidity. But it was already done and she had survived, which meant that she was supposed to cross the road. And when she was able to see the shooting rage through the trees, she was able to see why.The storage shed was being protected by Estrillian soldiers. There were some soldiers in the front keeping back the enemy and there were also soldiers in the forest that were shooting them. Gwen was sure that if she got a good enough chance, she would be able to grab enough ammunition and join back into the fight.At the edge of the forest, Gwen was pleased to see the General and some other soldiers surrounding him. They were providing support for the soldiers in the open field.

After the initial shock of getting her face grabbed. Gwen thought,‘What was the point of doing that? It’s not like there’s a war twenty meters from me or anything.’It really was not the best thing to say when her life was possibly in danger. But if it were someone from Paria-Drae, then they would have killed her. So she knew it had to be someone on her side. Someone stupid at that. Puckett.“What the hell?” Gwen grabbed the hand and sun around, coming face to face with practically nothing since it was pitch dark outside.“Chester,” Ace said, releasing her. “Do you have ammunition?”“If I had ammunition do you think I would be wandering in a dark forest, hoping not to get eaten by creatures of the night.” Gwen rolled her eyes, which was pointless.Ace sighed and she heard the faint sound of grass crunchi

Once they got to the top of the field, they knew they had reached far enough. They walked along the length of the field and then went across the width, stopping when they got to the middle. "You know even if we do this, and the General does not get mad, I'm not going to let you blame it all on me." Ace spoke out of nowhere. "Has that seriously been on your mind this entire time?" Gwen asked incredulously. "Yes, I'd rather not get in trouble with him." "This is war, there should be exceptions. And if he does get angry, then you should obviously take the fall because you're the favorite child." Gwen said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Ace scoffed. "Just because
