Chapter 2: Gallia's new found ally.
The next day the officer that found Godwin the boat was waiting for him outside in front of the Randgriz Castle, next to a Car with a driver inside. This was a pretty nice a sunny day, even that it was still March.
Godwin walked up and got in the staff car, he sat on the back seat while, the officer sat in the front seat next to the driver.
Godwin was looking around, looking at the Gallian country side as they were driving in the staff car. Then Godwin looked at the officer and said "I guess we will be working with each other so how about an introduction?"
"Very well, I'm 2nd Lieutenant Carl Ingerburg, 1st Gallian Regiment." said Carl.
"Alright, I'm Major Godwin Kritz, Royal Prince's Guard Battalion." said Godwin
On the way to the naval base, Carl was talking to Godwin about the current situation in Gallia. And that the army was hit badly in the war that was fought two years ago. He was also saying that the army stuck in the north of the country holding the capital and key positions in the North, while the Lanseal Cadets are holding in the South. He was also say how bad it is because the Rebels are really mobile and that they are using guerrilla style of warfare. Which happens to be Godwin's favorite way of fighting and that his battalion is prepared to fight such an enemy.
Well their conversation was interrupted, because they arrived at the naval base. Two sailors opened the staff car doors; they were both wearing a Gallian army jucket but white trousers and white sailor's hats. Both of them saluted and then one of them said:
"The Vice Admiral waiting for you let me show you the way."
Godwin and Carl nodded and followed the sailor. They entered a big white building, and went up the stairs, turned left and entered the Vice Admiral's office. The Vice Admiral was handed the written order by Carl, while Godwin was just waiting for the 'Green Light'. After a brief conversation between Carl and the Vice Admiral. Both Godwin and Carl walked out the building and headed to the port were there was a motor boat waiting for them. It took them few steps to get there.
When they got there a Senior Chief Petty Officer was waiting in the motor boat, for them two. When they got in the boat Godwin told the Chief Petty officer to head North West. As they got far in to the sea Godwin picked up a flare gun and fired a green beam in to the sunny sky. Five minutes later a red beam was in the sky. Godwin said that was the signal to wait.
Few seconds later a whole fleet appeared on the horizon. An hour later the ships got to the port, three destroyers and three transport ships. The Kalvlandian unit started disembarking in the port first went, the techicals, armed with 20mm auto cannons. Then the supply and medic trucks. I took few hours to get those vehicles of the ships. Then the troops were disembarking, first company soldiers were the first ones off, they quickly got on to their techicals and truck and were combat ready.
Godwin walked up to one of the Kalvlandian officer and said "Hey, Zak how you doing, did you miss your great company commander."
Zak saluted and said "Hell no, i didn't, all i was thinking of is getting of this god damned ship."
Godwin smiled, and said "Good to see again Zak, by the way this is Carl Ingerburg, 2nd Lieutenant, Gallian Army." He pointed at Carl.
Then Carl walked up to Zak shakened his hand and said "2nd Lieutenant, Ingerburg."
Zak replied "Zak 'Zaky' Anderson, Captain, Kalvlandian Army. Oh, and please don't ask about the nick name."
Godwin stepped in laughing "My sister once called him Zaky in front of the whole first company, so now everyone calls him that." the hi looked at Zak getting angry. "Any way we are heading to Gallian capital, while the rest of the battalion will stay here."
"Alright, road trip then." said Zak.
Few minutes later Godwin, Zak and Carl were leading the convoy to Randgriz in the Gallian Staff car. Zak and Carl were talking to each other while Godwin was just thinking to himself, "I wonder where they will send us, bet down South to Lanseal."
The convoy arrived in Randgriz early the next day. Everyone was pretty tiered, Zak was sleeping in the car, while Carl and Godwin were looking at the castle in silence. They stopped in front of the Randgriz castle while the first company made camp behind the city walls.
Carl got out of the car first, while Godwin got Zak and dragged him out of the car. Zak was shocked that he got dragged out of the car while dreaming about his girlfriend, he was also angry at Godwin. But after Zak got out of the car he saw the castle and was amazed. He quickly straitened his uniform, and stud up straight for attention. The Godwin pointed at the castle said "This is the Randgriz Castle, Zak."
Zak's eyes were wide open. Then three of them walked in to the castle. Zak was again amazed but this time by the inside of the Castle. Carl and Godwin leaded Zak to a guest room were he needed to change in to his dress uniform before they could see the Archduchess all together.
When they got there, Zak changed in few minutes while, Godwin and Carl were waiting for him outside. Zak went outside a joined Carl and Godwin, both Godwin and Zak were wearing a dark khaki green uniform, and both of them had a four-pointed cap, which was the standard officer cap in the Kalvlandian army. Both also had medals, which were awarded through combat only. That meant that they weren't 'green' in combat, their battalion was made out veterans only.
Then they headed to the throne room, were the Archduchess was waiting for them. They walked in, and knelt on one knee. Then stud up straight.
"You Highness, I brought my men with me, this man here is my right hand Captain Zak Anderson." Said Godwin.
"Very well, please take your man to Lanseal and support the cadets any way you can." Said the Archduchess.
"Your Highness may I be attached to Major Kritz's battalion as an adviser since they don't know the area very well?" asked Carl.
"Alright Lieutenant you may assist Major Kritz in his mission of supporting Lanseal cadets." Said Archduchess.
The all three of them headed to their rooms in the castle, and changed in to their battle gear, and packed their stuff. They re-united in front of the car, which was waiting for them in front of the castle. All three got in and drove through the city witch was buzzing since it was already nearly 10:00 AM.
They drove outside of the city, to were the first company was. They got out of the staff car and all men were in a line and as the three officers got out of the car, every man in the unit saluted and a Staff Sargent took one step forward and said "Sir, the first company is ready to move out, while the second, third and the logistic company will be here in few minutes, sir."
Godwin looked at him and said "Very well Staff Sargent."
The whole company was ready to move out, they just waited for the three remaining companies that were on the way and should rejoin them any minute. Some people who spotted the company waiting outside of Randgriz, we shocked to so much military activity, but they saw the Gallian Flag on one of the vehicles so they weren't scared. The younger kids were looking at all the military equipment the unit was using. The only odd thing in this unit was that soldiers were wearing the Darcsen pattern not even looking like Darcsens due to their hair colour.
The three companies stopped on the side of the road and three cars drove past them, and were clearly heading towards the first company. The three cars stopped and one officer from each car got out and saluted to Godwin.
A quite short, blond haired man in glasses, with a scar on his right cheek, said "Sir, first Lieutenant Mike Wolfsburg, Second Company commander reporting for duty, Sir!"
Then a dark hair girl carrying a light machinegun took one step forward and said "Sir, first Lieutenant Natasha Dodson, Third Company commander reporting for duty, Sir!"
A man in a full face mask with blondish brown hair said "Yo Sir, first Lieutenant Xavier Remington with the Logistic Company up and ready as normal, Dude!"
"Alright guys get you units ready we, heading for Lanseal Military Academy." Said Godwin. Everyone got back in to their cars and trucks ready to move out, just waiting for the Major's order. "Alright Royal Prince's Guards, Move out!" Godwin shouted. The whole battalion was on its way to Lanseal to support the cadets.
