Legends of Tropico
Chapter 13: Croc Riot in the City!
Penultimo was about to decline, but another Croc came up.
"You tell the Governor, or else..." The Croc hissed.
This scared Penultimo, and this was enough to send him running in the direction of the Palace (where he knows he will be safe).
"Haha, Chicken!" Yelled one of the Crocs, before leaving.
The Palace
Laval stepped outside of the Palace for some fresh Tropican air, when he heard multiple footsteps coming toward him. He turned around to see the Elite Infantry running (armed with their muskets, as he sent them out) toward the Palace doorstep and they all went back in. In a second 2 Soldiers took their place at the entrance of the Palace, with their muskets on their back. After a minute, Juliet (we all remember her, don't we?) walked out of the Palace (musket in hand) and she walked up to Laval.
"The Expedition was a success, Governor." Juliet said.
"Perfect." Laval said while smiling.
Soon after, Laval heard footsteps again. But this time, instead of Soldiers, it was Penultimo, who looked like he's seen a ghost.
But before Laval could ask anything, Penultimo said something.
"Presidente, Revolutionaries are demanding that you insult the King!"
Laval was shocked. Sure, he wanted to get Tropico independent and support the Revolutionaries, but this is a little too extreme.
"You have to be careful, as the King is very vengeful." Penultimo added.
"Well, I've already made up my mind: I will not insult the King." Laval stated.
Penultimo was already relieved that he decided to not insult the King. He would have beheaded him and Laval! But someone yelling already got them tensed up again.
"CHARGE!" Yelled a deep voice.
They all looked in the direction of where that scream came from. It was a bunch of Crocs (10 of them to be more specific.) They heard that Laval wasn't going to insult the King, and now are emerging from the Country Houses and taking arms to show disrespect for Laval's rightful rule!
They announced the building they were going to target, and they said it a little too loud.
"To the Coffee Plantation! This will show that Lion to do what we say!" Said a Croc, before the group started running.
Laval turned to Juliet.
"Get the Elite Infantry and stop that... Angry Mob!" Laval commanded.
"Yes, Governor!" Juliet yelled before running back in the Palace.
Penultimo looked scared.
"Your recent commands have caused a Revolution in the City, Presidente!"
"Yeah, no kidding!" Laval stated.
The sound of marching came from behind them. The Elite Infantry was coming back out of the Palace, and stopped to do a quick check.
"How does my uniform look?" A lioness Soldier asked. A second later, the Squad was running toward the Coffee Plantation.
Plantation (Coffee)
Combat: Forces are evenly matched.
Defenders: Elite Infantry
Attackers: Angry Mob
The Elite Infantry have arrived a few minutes ahead of the Mob of Angry Crocs, because they knew ahead of time and they have a better knowledge of where all the buildings are. While they were waiting for the Angry Mob to come, they loaded their muskets and assumed battle positions, ready to scare or fight off any attackers that come their way.
Within a few minutes, the battle has begun.
The Crocs all fired their weapons on the Elite Infantry, but at different points in time. When the Elite Infantry noticed they were being open-fired on, they fired their weapons too, but all of them open-fired simultaneously. This instantly killed one of the Crocs.
While the Angry Mob had 2 more Tropicans on their side, they weren't skilled gun-Crocs. They took longer time to reload, which left them vulnerable. While the Elite Infantry weren't exactly skilled gun-Lions either, they worked with muskets much longer than the Crocs, and know some tips and tricks to reload faster. This advantage killed 2 more Crocs 10 minutes into the battle.
But a Croc managed to hit one of the Elite Infantryman in the chest, automatically killing him.
40 minutes into the battle, and the Elite Infantry had 7 Lions remaining, while the Angry Mob had only 4 Crocs left. Most of the Crocs either died or have fled the scene.
The Crocs were fighting with the rest of their might, but failed.
One Croc kept getting his musket jammed, and after the 3rd time of it getting jammed, he decided he's had enough.
"Screw this! I'm out!" Yelled the Croc, before throwing his musket to the ground and fleeing the scene.
The remainder of the Crocs knew at this point it was useless. The rest of the Crocs all dropped their muskets and ran away.
The Elite Infantry cheered, and started running back to the Palace (which one of the Infantrymen was carrying the corpse of their fallen Comrade for burial). They were sure that the Governor would be happy with this victory.
So I caught up in all my schoolwork, and I don't have to go to summer school anymore! So I decided to write a chapter!
So that's all I have to say. GOODBYE EVERYBODY!
