The Preparations
The next day there was a huge fuss around the barnyard and Ryan saw Snowball on top of one of the ladders trying to say something to the other animals, Ryan felt interested so he went to the barnyard and saw a huge map with a bunch of little lines on it. Though Ryan couldn't admit it...he felt confused, so to stop the arguing, he barked 4 times and everyone turned their attention towards him.
'So what's going on?' Asked Ryan, Snowball sighed and cleared his throat.
'We beleive the humans are going to try to mount an attack on the farm, and I was up all night drawing some battle plans.' Said Snowball showing what the lines were for. He said the skinny little lines were to show the humans movement, and the larger lines were to show their movement to intercept the humans before they reached the barn house. Ryan just shrugged.
'Well I guess I'll go where you need me.' Said Ryan, Napoleon who had just come out of the barn, just scoffed.
'We should make you run a suicide charge against the humans.' Laughed Napoleon, Squealer who had also just arrived, nodded in agreement, Jessie had just arrived when she heard the ruckus and saw Ryan growling at Napoleon and she moved up next to him to calm him down. Ryan just took a deep breath and he calmed down. Snowball just shook his head and started discussing his plan.
'Anyway...Ryan. You and Jessie shall round up the sheep for the frontal charge, knowing the humans their objective will be the house. We CANNOT let them reach the house or else they will fortify themselves there, giving us no chance to beat them. I want all of our flyers to go in and attack them when they try to reach us from this road here. If their attack doesn't drive the humans back, I want Ryan and Jessie ready with the sheep. Also, I want the rest of us to lie in wait until Ryan gives out a signal for us to charge...does everyone understand the plan?' Asked Snowball, nobody had anything to say, but Napoleon moved up towards Snowball and glared at him.
'Why in the name of Old Major, is this...creatin being allowed to lead the frontal charge?! We should just give up now if that's the plan because this creature is incopetent.' Hissed Napoleon, Ryan was so mad at the moment he actually didn't mind thinking about killing the pig right there and now, but Snowball glared at Napoleon.
'He has proved to be an extremley loyal soldier during a fight, I am certain he will not dissapoint us...right Ryan?' Asked Snowball who turned and looked down at Ryan, Ryan smiled for a moment.
'You can count on me sir.' Said Ryan doing a salute with his tail. Napoleon just grunted and went back to the barn with Squealer following him.
Later that day at a local tavern...
Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones, and the stable boys arrived later that day at the town tavern and ran inside to talk to Mr. Pilkington and tell him of what happend. Pilkington turned his fat face around and glared at the 4 people sitting in the booth of tavern and grabbed a drink.
'Well done, Jones, you old drunkard. You have managed to turn your father's prosperous farm into a run down peice of rubbish. Your mistreatment of your animals has caused them to fight back and rebel, an action which can quickly spread to the rest of our farms.' Said Pilkington, Mr. Jones who was almost drunk at the moment, let out a silent burp and stood up.
'What am I going to do?' Jones asked. Pilkington just smirked at him.
'Dear boy, you have no money, your homeless, and you have just completley lost your farm to your own livestock, you've done enough.' Hissed Pilkington as he ordered some men to come with him to take back the farm, about 20 men went with him, only only 2 people were equipped with guns out of the whole group, one of Jones' stable boys, and Pilkington himself. They then took off towards the farm in a huge tractor with a cart attached to carry the other men while Pilkington drove it...and soon the batlle would begin.
