Joshua went round as usual giving moral support to the soldiers who remained to guard the village, soldiers were very motivated and were ready to die protecting the community they had already had enough gold stock to use to buy ammunition.
Early morning Joshua assembled the soldiers to give moral support.
"I thank you for fearlessly giving up to protect our community I know we are few but we are well trained," Joshua said optimistically.
"Thunder invaded our neighboring village killing everyone and taking their resources like gold and their livestock," Joshua said.
"We shall fight him to the bitter end," Ruben said
"Yes I like you eco your optimism" Joshua responded
"We fought him recently we won the fight we will win again," Joshua said optimistically.
The soldiers clapped their hands and wailed to show that they can fight.
"I trust and know that though our soldiers went for a mission they have not returned I trust that they are safe" Joshua emotionally
James Wilson and smith boarded one chopper one of the choppers collected the ammunition from the armory the other choppers followed smith's chopper to the forest where James' soldiers were from a distance soldiers heard choppers approaching that organized themselves ready to board. Choppers landed on a plain area.
"Let's go don't forget anything!" Henry Billowed
Soldiers made sure they picked everything in the cave and divided themselves into the choppers and boarded.
Henry looked back to the cave and smiled.
"Bye bye" Henry shouted to the forest as they flew back home.
As they advanced towards the camp they flew over Jacobs camp they saw many soldiers in the camp looking up at them others pointing guns at them.
"Who is visiting us today smith is coming today?" Jacob asked his Major
"No there is no deal today but almost ten choppers are flying on top of our camp," Major said
"Government officials are going to assess what we did yesterday in that village" Jacob responded
"Yes that is true, I know government officials fear you, they are not going dare provoke us we will fight them," Major said.
"We have a plan for a revenge mission you remember that village who killed about two hundred of our troops," Jacob said.
"Yes I remember but we need to strategize on how we will take their gold mines they have quality gold which is marketable," Major said.
"No revenge mission first it's almost six months since we invaded them," Thunder said.
"Let's forget revenge mission first please sir" major pegged
Jacob stood angrily.
"Are you nowadays making decisions on my behalf" Thunder roared.
"No, it was just my opinion" major responded.
"Go out of my office I will choose another soldier to replace you as a major" Jacob roared.
Major left sadly Jacobs's office to his house soldiers manning the camp and realized how Major was very sad as he move to his home.
Joshua heard the choppers approaching soldiers were ready to shoot if the choppers were to fire any bullets to the village, there were open area choppers landed, in the village all the activities came to a standstill, to avoid anxiety James was the first to come out of the chopper Joshua ran towards him and embraced him he shed tears of happiness.
"Welcome back home," James said.
The white man followed James other soldiers were alighted women and children came running celebration started.
"Soldiers are back" Women shouted in happiness
Women sang the victory song as they welcome their sons back to the village.
"This calls for a celebration," Joshua said emotionally.
Soldiers who took the ammunition to the armory community were pleased to see a successful mission and felt proud of their soldiers.
Women prepared food for the soldiers, Joshua organized drinks to be brought to enjoy while James took smith to the gold store to ascertain if its enough to buy the ammunition and built schools and hospitals
Smith entered the store.
"Amazing, you have enough gold enough to pay for the ammunition, we are going to construct schools and a health center and also give you equipment for mining gold, I see you have enough gold deposits in your gold mines," Smith said.
Thank you very much James said.
"Now we are going to pay you the ammunition then later you come and sign the agreement for building schools and hospitals," James said.
"No problem at all I will be back soon" Smith promised.
Soldiers took the gold to the choppers as instructed by James
"Give me two weeks I will be back" Smith promised.
Steve and smith boarded the chopper and flew followed by other choppers the villagers waved happily at smith as they flew back to the city.
James went back to where the people were and celebrated their success.
"We had lost hope we thought you all died in the dangerous forest with animals and dangerous militia group," Joshua said
"We had a difficult time we passed through the most dangerous militia camp without casualties" James responded.
"Now we are here we need to organize ourselves we don't know if Thunder has realized that we are fully armed," James said
"Yes we need to organize ourselves in front of the enemy," John said.
"We must have twenty-four hours of security around our Amory, it's very dangerous to lose weapons" James reiterated
"First we need to construct a perimeter wall all around the village, we will be having two gates where people can exit and come in, where it is going to be easily guarded in turns by soldiers" James suggested.
"That is a wonderful move," Joshua said
"Since we now have binoculars that can function at night, we will construct four watchtowers to enable us to figure out our enemy kilometers away before them knowing that we have seen them, then the soldiers can fight the enemy far away before reaching our village," James said.
"That is a good idea" John replied
"We are going to fix machine g*n at a strategic position around our perimeter wall stationary where two soldiers will be there to shoot any time if an enemy struck," Henry said
Around hundred meters to the perimeter fence, we are going to fix on the ground the landmines all around our village, to suppress the power of the enemy as they approach our village" James explained.
The following morning James with other soldiers drove a lorry to bring building materials from the gold mine area, other soldiers were creating a foundation for the perimeter wall, and other soldiers provided security for the community.
The day was very busy since there were many people the work was done in a day.
"Tomorrow we are going to construct a watchtower," James said.
"You are wonderful people you did the perimeter wall within a day, bravo" James congratulated.
Soldiers rested on that day to wait for the next day's work. The following day at dawn soldiers work up early to construct four watchtowers
"We are going to construct four watchtowers in all the corners of the village," James said.
Soldiers were subdivided into four groups each one with a watchtower to build, it took some hours to complete.
"We are going to fix machine guns in the watchtower for the soldiers to shoot the enemy that is coming closer to the camp," Henry said
Finally, they fix the land mine all around the hundred meters from the perimeter wall.
"Anyone going out of the village should not be allowed to walk outside the perimeter fence it's very dangerous," John said.
Soldiers agreed not to let anyone walk outside the perimeter fence of the village.
