Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Ghosts of Mistral. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I Don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(Mistrial, Army camp 3 years before start of RWBY main series.)
The Bullhead pulled into the Army camp and landed on the landing pad, both teams jumped off the dropships and marched into the camp.
"This is going to be a long war…. What do we know, Colonel?"
Ebon heard General Ethos ask one of his officers, both teams stopped in front of his command tent as he spoke up.
"Or perhaps, you could ask the Hunters you sent for before to help you? Ebon of team ETON and team BRNZ reporting for duty…. We've…. Run into the locals around here."
Ebon muttered, the General and the squads of soldiers behind him turned to face the 8.
"Yes, they are very aggressive…. There's a few more forces then just them working against us…. We and the militia are spread thin at the moment."
The General muttered, Ebon and the others walked to a table to look at the maps of the enemy forces at the moment.
"Their entrenched into the cliffs? If they are, they can flank you from where they are and they have cover unless you attack by air…. If the police and militia reports are anything to go off… Then you're in for much more than of a fight then of of us thought…"
Ebon muttered, the General and one of his officers walked over to the table.
Ebon, May and the others looked at the places on the map he pointed to.
"These are base camps and outposts that the enemy has seized… We've also been seeing Red Wolf symbols on equipment in other areas around here…. Might a new group."
The General muttered, Ebon crossed his arms and turn back to the rest of his team.
"Teal, take a militia squad and check out that camp… We need to know what we are dealing with at the moment…. There could be something we are missing…"
Ebon muttered, he rubbed his head in annoyance, he knew they would be dealing with many enemies, it bugged him that they knew nothing at the moment, they would lose quickly if they lost ground and didn't even know anything about their enemies.
He turned to May who cracked her neck and racked a round into the chamber.
"I'll start hunting down their convoys and lieutenants…. This is going to be a long day…"
May muttered, she wanted to face off with the insurgents and do some damage to them, anything to face them and get them an edge…
"Ok…. I guess I'll go and check out one of those bases… General, I'd reorganize your defenses…. If those insurgents were able to ambush us, then its clear the entire Region isn't secure…."
Ebon muttered, he walked towards a Bullhead, 3 squads of Mistral soldiers joined him, he climbed onto a Bullhead as his soldiers climbed into the dropships.
May watched the trio of Bullheads lift off into the air, she turned and walked into the woods, she could have asked for a squad of Mistral snipers to join her…. But that would be boring for her, and she enjoyed the challenge.
(Bullhead 77, 5 Minutes from Captured Army base 20.)
Ebon looked at devastated forests and damaged roads and frowned, he wasn't a soldier, he knew that and he knew the soldiers behind him weren't his.
That didn't mean he didn't care for them, he turned to them to speak.
"I know many of you don't trust me…. You don't have to… But know I'll fight just as hard and protect you as much…. So please just…. Relax and prepare for landing."
Ebon muttered to the rest of his soldiers, he prepared for the landing.
"We will be landing in 2 minutes, sir…"
The pilot muttered, Ebon nodded and waited on the door as the ship started to landed.
"Sweep the camp, we don't know what we will be dealing with… We have to deal with anything and plus we have to be ready for anything."
Ebon muttered, the Bullhead landed and disgorged its load of soldiers, the other 2 Bullheads dropped off their squads as well.
"GO, GO, GO!"
One of the sergeants in the squads yelled, Ebon drew his weapon from his back and followed the squads of soldiers into the remains of the camp.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done. Yes, this chapter is shorter, I am sorry but because due to my charger being broken, I can't really use it at the moment and hence have to write new chapters shorter for the moment. Next chapter will be next, next Wednesday and will show the battle of the valley in the base. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
