With a smoky view and a distant fire from horizon at the current location. He carefully monitored his surroundings with a sense of uneasiness accompanied by a defensive guardman. With such an atmosphere, the defense guard started talking to him. "Sir, how long will we last here? Almost all of our soldiers are exhausted with food supplies and ammunition starting to run low, beside that, we defending it for a long time." Said the guard. Then he reply, "Until allied reinforcements arrive, we must defend this hill no matter what." He said firmly. "If we fail to defend it, many front-line troops will suffer and our country will be threatened with destruction. Hold or Die!, win or lose will determine the direction of this war." The gaurdman understand then say. "I apologize questioning your abilities and strategy commander Sarad". Suddenly, there was an explosion followed by the sound of trumpets in the defense sector in the south. Sarad hurriedly took his weapon and went to the southern defense line to see the situation. As Sarad rushed there, he saw a horrible sight of his soldiers being injured so severely as to lose limbs, blood pouring out of the that area make a pool of blood with a foul odor around it and a big pile of dead soldier. When he was close to the area, an explosion hit the defensive trench near him which instantly made the commander a bit dizzy and confused due to the shock. But he came to his senses and took his weapon and went to the place of battle. When he got there, many Kalmanian soldiers were injured and stressed due to repeated attacks by the Yalbatia forces with their new artillery unit. Then, Sarad approached one of the officers there to find out more information about the current situation. "What about the current situation Albert?“ then Albert reply “ The Yalbatian gave a more daring attack and their number was greater than before, I was worried that we would have to retreat to the another defensive line and join the other forces the fact we are running low supplies.“ after hearing that, Sarad was shocked and worry with the current situation that is getting worse, they have been defending the area for 7 months and the allied reinforcements have not arrived yet. Meanwhile, one by one the southern defense forces suffered serious injuries, their casualties continued to rise. With a heavy heart, Sarad ordered Albert with his unit to retreat to another line of defense. “Go join other forces and ask for help from other sector's units to strengthen our position here, defend it at any cost ! We can't afford to lose it otherwise we all die here” then Albert respond “ Yes Sir !! Every unit at southern sector please join up with another defense line immediately!!”. While the majority had begun to retreat, Yalbatia's forces began to charge quickly making Kalmania's forces are in a state of panic and confuse. Seeing the chaos, Sarad took his weapon and started shooting Yalbatia's army to give covering fire for the retreating Kalmanian unit, assisted by several soldiers who volunteered to be reargaurd, The defenders managed to retreat even though the number of casualties was not small. When Sarad was about to retreat an artillery fire hit near him causing him to fly and his head hit something hard and his eyesight start faded then went unconsciousness while hearing a familiar voice calling his name. «12 years ago» 12:07 P.M. The Administrative Headquarters, Union State of the Republic of Yalbatia, Arbasia, Capital City of USRY 19/9/1555 —The spark of conflict— “So…what about our economic situation and disaster relief operations right now?” “Everything is in a smooth state Sir but there are some region that started to rebel by saying that we did not do anything about the disaster and famine that struck in our country.” “What!? which region and why they think like that ?” . Prime Minister Yalbatia asked his cabinet of ministers. “Danlou region, I received a report from the rescue team and the civil defense force saying that there is a group called People's Liberation Party that wants to overthrow our administration by preventing Government's aid and propagandize the people there to join up with them and it seems they will continue to grow in other region, apart from that it's still unclear why they want to overthrow us.” “Damn it…. How should we respond to this rebellion?” Then, the minister of national defense gave a proposal. “How about we use the military to prevent the development of the insurgency and strictly control all suspicious activities, besides, we will provide aid for the victims disaster while we spread anti propaganda against PLP” While everyone is on silence and thinking the idea is the great option, the Prime Minister is consider it as too extreme method to fight against the insurgency because he think that the PLP doesn't doing any property damage nor threatening people's life. Their discussion continue during the meeting about the possible threat of PLP. At the same time at some cafe near the Administrative HQ.
