Chapter 3
Panic rushed through the streets as hordes of people marched through the streets holding banners pledging there allegiance to the Chaos Gods. The Army laid siege to all of the Vigilus Penitentiary and expanding across the land to Hive Euryales, a thrown together army of Impearl civilians and the odd Imperial regiment had taken up position just out side on the Euryales and were ready to defend the hive to the last man.
At the six hour of the watch a sound came from the horizon, a grotesque sound of screams for help and the sound of thousands of feet marching.
"Private send word to Commander Glossvell we have first contact with the Chaos army" said a watchman to a boy who, at this started running towards the hive entrance.
In a confers room Governor Soloman, Commander Glossvell and a hand full of governmental people were sitting around a large table discussing there plan to quench the fire of Chaos, as the boy ran in.
"Sir…..Sir…..they've…made first contact with the Chaos army" gasped the young boy
At these words the room fell silent then exploded into conversation about what will happen if they broke through the army and the defences.
"Gentlemen please be quite and listen" said Governor Soloman "We are in a situation that needs to be handled carefully, if out troops fall they will break through the city walls and kill each and everyone of us"
"So what do you suggest" asked a lower rank solider from the back of the room
"The Storm has passed and we sent for help, they should arrive in 2-3 hours that is how long we must hold them. We will look through the citizens that have not volunteered, and pick out very man who can fight and march them into the front line" finished Governor Soloman
The room was as quite as the eye of a storm as everyone was shocked at this drastic move by the Governor.
"That is outrageous!" said a committee member next to the Governor "We can't do that it may save us but what is another attack comes we will only have women and children to fight, would you send them?"
"Of coarse not that is outrageous, we will fend off this attack until our troops arrive and finish off these creatures of Chaos" answed Governor Soloman in a low tone.
The committee fell back into talking among them selves as this went on the boy stood there waiting for orders
"Governor what shall I tell the Front Commander he wants Commander Glossvells word" said the boy into Solomon's ear
"Go and ask him he's over there" said the Governor pointing to the corner
The boy tried to squeeze through the mass of people, in the end he got there.
"Commander Glossvell Front Commander wants your word of what of do" the boy told Glossvell
"Well son tell the Front Commander to hold the outside of the Hive to the last man, until reinforcements arrive" said the Commander and the boy started running back to the front line.
