Chapter 36 mission brief: the Kloden Wildwood
A/n: ok, After watching the OVA for Valkira chronicles 3. I was so excited when I saw how kick ass it was, Especially Imca *drools* -aheam-. Anyway, And I will make sure to add it into the story. Enjoy and review.
-Eleanor's office-
Eleanor and Faldio were talking about the next mission as they also waited for the lieutenants. Jus then, There was a knock at the door.
"It's open" Eleanor said. Welkin and Jacob walked inside. Jacob nodded for his brother to come in as well.
"You coming?" Jacob asked, Frederick shook his head "Nah, I have to help teach out comrades about their new weapons. But you can tell me after the briefing" he said as he ran off. Jacob shrugged as he closed the door.
"Glad you two could make it" Eleanor said "Thanks in part to squad 7. The Great Vasel Bridge is back in our hands. That pushed the front line back, Forcing the Empire to gather forces in central Gallia".
"Does this mean we're headed that way as well?" Faldio asked.
Eleanor shook her head "The army will take that front. Meanwhile, The militia will head south" she said as she took out a map and placed it on the table. "Our next target is here. In the Kloden area".
Welkin looked at the map.
"The Kloden wildwood...I was there last summer taking soil samples" he said "It's a dense forest with plenty of hills and valleys. It's hard to get around in there". Jacob looked at the map then glanced at Eleanor.
"What's our objective there, Captain?" He asked.
Eleanor placed her right hand under her chin "The Empire has set up a supply base there to fuel their invasion of central Gallia" she said. "I see. So if we seize the supply base, We cut off the flow of supplies moving north" Faldio said.
"That's not a bad idea at all" Jacob said, Eleanor nodded at him "True it's not, The third Regiment's objective is to take that base" she said "All squads are to prepare for woodland combat and await orders" she then looked over at Jacob.
"Lieutenant Jacob".
"Yes Captain?".
"I know that you've probably have given your squad their new equipment. And I bet your teaching them how to use it. I hate to say this and I apologize in advance. But you might have to teach them how to master there new weapons on the battlefield" she said.
Jacob nodded at her "Yes Captain".
"Well then, That will be all, Dismissed". The three then walked out of the room as Faldio placed his hand on his head.
"Woodland combat...what a nightmare" he said getting Welkin and Jacob's attention.
"What's wrong Faldio?" Jacob asked.
"This will be a tough mission" he said "We're going to be taking on woodland combat...the woods dull your sense of direction. And poor roads make for slow advances. This will be our toughest mission yet".
Welkin then added into the conversation.
"Maybe so, But deeper in the woods you have a better chance of spotting rare foliage. There's one kind of insectivorous plant in Kloden called the moondew that can suck a-".
Faldio quickly cut him off.
"All right I get it! You really do have a one-track mind, You know know that?" He said.
"I'm saying nature isn't just a burden. We might just find the key to victory in the woods" Welkin said.
"Ah, I think I get ya. Good idea Welkin" Jacob said. Faldio sighed "Alright. I'll keep a lookout for your key while I'm slogging along" he said as he then smiled "Hopefully your plant won't have eaten it".
The boys then left to get there squads ready for the next mission.
