“Brutal recon”

    [WAKE UP!]

    I was dead tired… For the past few days I had no way to sleep properly.

    I either was woken up immediately, or it was too hot to sleep.

    Even though we left the desert and went deep into a savannah, I was still not prepared for what I can find.

    “Onii-chan? Are we there yet?” I started pulling the priest’s robe.

    “Should be. But I never heard of a settlement here…” (P)

    At the nearest stop I once again separated from the group and launched a flight of scouts.

    Our course was exactly to the landmark I wanted to explore.

    When we arrived, everybody was astonished.

    “Is this a mansion?!” (S)

    “It looks old. There might be something useful.” (W)

    “Brothers, am I the only one who feels like it is the third time we arrived to a place which has nothing to do with a settlement?” (B)

    Then, all of the eyes turned to me. Still, it was no longer my problem. The caravaneers did what they were needed for.

    ‘VROOOOOM’

    The scout flight made a low altitude fly-by, and the mansion’s withered gardens shook. Deteriorated hands stretched out from under the ground.

    “Enemy!” (S)

    “I see! ‘Great purification’.” (P)

    A pillar of light fell on the mansion territory, and some of the rising undead stopped moving. Still, many zombies and skeletons walked by stopped arms and half-unburied bodies.

    “Ryusei, sortie!”

    With rapid deployment on the way, I had all of my Ryusei torpedo bombers deployed, and carpet bombed the undead.

    BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

    I ignored the crazed looks of my ex-comrades and walked forth, towards my destiny.
