Minecraft - War on Monsters

by theneutralguy

Long ago, Mincecraftia, a land filled with vast wonders, is going under new terms as well as leadership, the mobs, at least the aggressive ones aren't liking the new regime they are forced under and are declaring all out war. Steve, the leader who kept everything under control can simply wipe them out, but what if he wants a more "diplomatic" solution. First story, reviews open.

3. Battle of Skeletos

Chapter 2 -Battle of Skeletos

Villager soldiers marched to the border of Skeletos. Armed with M1 Garand assault rifles, Colt 45's, and M2 frag grenades. All had similar and almost the same attire, helmets (similar to the American ones in WW2), a collared double chest pocketed long sleeved skirt, long sleeve cargo pants, a rucksack and black or brown combat boots.

On their helmets were the Austarian coat of arms. A laurel wreath surrounded the white cross with the red side covering the upper part and the yellow on the bottom, all while the rest of the helmet and uniform besides the boots stayed green like always.

They marched and marched until they reached a halt just a few clicks away from the provincial border entrance to Skeletos. Once man got in front of the rest and began to shout orders at the men.

"SHOVELS OUT AND DIG YOUR FOXHOLES!" The burly man with a rugged mustache yelled over his under rank men.

Just like that the soldiers began to do as ordered.

1st POV

I already began breaking a sweat in just ten minutes of digging.

'This damn dirt is to hard, winter sucks. How the hell did these skeletons survive this harsh tundra? Oh wait they're dead, so they can't feel anything... do they?' Thomas thought begrudgingly.

Nonetheless, he kept at it, toiling away at the hard cold hard earth.

"Hey, need help?" A soldier besides me asked.

I turned to look and it was a soldier as well as my friend.

"Hey Jake, yeah I suppose. Damn dirt's hard in the winter." I reminded him and myself.

"Skeletos, harsh winters but beautiful landscape. Also considering we took it from the Skeletons, that would explain why." He explained.

I rolled my eyes and just told him to help me out, he complied by digging the other side of my foxhole.

...

After about what seemed like an hour. Mostly every one has a foxhole, while the rest of the lazy soldiers shared with someone. Perhaps I should have done that.

We formed a defensive perimeter stretching 2 miles from the beginning. Covering a good amount of ground.

Up front were the machine gunners, 50 calibers, more than enough firepower, there's me with the rest of the riflemen and in the back are the howitzers, the real deal of firepower.

Now we gotta wait until the enemy appears...

-POV Princess Skelly (Skeleton Princess)

As I sat on the peak of the mountain overlooking the once former fields of our homeland, I was saddened and frustrated to see that the Austarian flag was flying over the snowy tundra.

Putting away my telescope, behind me were thousands of my troops, ready as well as eager to liberate our homeland once more.

"My lady, I just got word, the Austarian army has arrived." The scout skeleton warned with a hint of scorn in her voice.

'I see I have my answer then.' The princess warrior thought grimly to herself.

"What else did you see? Do they have the same arsenal as usual?" Skelly asked, her scouts facial expression saddened.

"No, they have new rifles and uniforms, like helmets, it will be useless against our arrow's." The scout answered, sounding slightly defeated.

I cursed under my breath, "What else?"

She looked at me and hesitated before speaking, "They have howitzers..."

"Howitzers?!" I suddenly screamed, everyone looking in shock or confusion.

"Y-yes, not TNT cannons like last t-time... No, that gun is powerful to hit is from afar, I calculated a 500 block distance." She estimated.

I suddenly froze at her words... "Notch help us all..."
