The soldiers get home ok. but when I get back I only come back with 3 injured out of 20.
He looks at me, shocked "What happened? Where are the rest of them?"
"The enemies got to us before we made it clear." I say
He looks worried "Are they okay? Did they get hurt?"
"These ones? No. But we had to leave a few cause they couldn't walk or survive 10 minutes." I say
He sighs "So, how many soldiers did we lose?"
"17." I say
He looks devastated "17... that's a huge loss."
"If you put it in a strategic mind. It's not that bad. They only killed the slow ones. The ones that wouldn't be much of a use to us when recovered. The ones that would waste our supplies." I say
He seems surprised by your attitude. He looks at you, his expression serious "You can't just dismiss their deaths like that."
"We still got 6 injured. We'll be fine." I say
He looks mad "soldiers are still people. They have families and friends who care about them."
"Yeah I know. How do you think i felt when i couldn't save them? I tried to. But they were injured they couldn't run. Atleast i saved these ones." I say
He looks at you, his eyes softening "I know. I'm sorry. I know you did the best you could."
"Now get the other 3 captains down to business." I say
He nods "Right. I'll go talk to them."
"Nah get all the lutenits and captains in this room." I say
He looks surprised "Why? What are you planning?"
"Now." I say
He nods and goes to gather everyone. The room is soon filled with officers. They all look at you, waiting for you to speak.
"As you may have guessed. I'm clearly the leader." I say
They all look surprised by your statement. A leader steps forward "You can't just claim to be the leader. What makes you think you're qualified?"
"Ask major right here. What would he be if i didn't save him." I say
The major hesitates for a moment before answering "I guess... I would be dead."
3rd leader let me ask you. With your damanged base and enemies drawing in do you think you would still be breathing?
He looks down, thinking for a moment "No... I don't think so. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"Major here wanted to wait a little bit before rescuing you. I said no cause you'd be dead if i did." I say
The major looks at you, a bit annoyed "I just wanted to be cautious. We don't know what the enemy is planning."
"Shut up major smith." I say
He looks shocked "You can't talk to me like that! I'm the superior!"
I pull out a gun "your my right hand." I say
He freezes, his eyes widening "W-what are you doing?"
"What is my rank." I ask
"No…. What's my title?" I say grinning menacingly
"Idk." he says shaking in fear
"My name is what?" I ask
He hesitates for a moment before answering "Shadow?"
"Lord shadow." I say grinning
He looks stunned "You're... you're Lord Shadow"
"Yes. Now you all will adress me as such. Or your friends here will be adressing a mop and sponge to clean up your insides on my floor." I say
Everyone in the room looks at you in shock, their eyes wide.
"I will give you all new ranks." I say
They all stay silent, waiting for you to speak.
"Smith here is the major of course." I say
"Thank you." he says
"Aka right hand." I say
He nods "I understand. Thank you."
"And lieutenant will. Your the supreme lieutenant." I say
The lieutenant nods, looking surprised "I understand. It's an honor to serve under you."
"And then i don't give a damn about captains" I say
They all look surprised and a few of them seem angry. One of the captains steps forward "What about us? Don't we matter?"
"Yes, but i don't need to know your names do i?" I say Psychotically
He looks at you, his eyes narrowing "You can't just dismiss us like that. We've worked hard for this."
"You work hard for me. to live." I say
He glares at you "That's not how it works. We're all equal here. We're a team."
"Your fucking funny. Nothing is equal here. Except people your rank." I say
He looks furious "You can't just treat us like this. We deserve respect."
"Should i blow your brains out?" I ask
He stares at you, his eyes widening in shock "What? You can't be serious."
"Or chop off your head?" I ask even more scary
He takes a step back, his face pale "You're... you're actually going to do that?"
"Now shut the fuck up and your all dismissed." I say
They all look at you, scared and confused. They slowly walk out of the room, not wanting to anger you. The supreme lieutenant stays behind, his face pale.
"Not you leaders." I say
The leaders turn around, looking at you nervously.
"Wil,l get over here too." I say
They all walk over to you, looking worried. The major speaks up "What do you need us for?"
"Lt. Will show them the map of the ambush spots." I say
The supreme lieutenant nods and walks over to the map. He points out all the ambush spots, explaining the plans for each one.
"Exactly. We kill the patrols tomorrow. From all over and then they wont know where we came from. And they will be in fear. Which will buy us time." I say
The major looks surprised "You want to attack them directly? That's... that's a very risky plan."
"It's an ambush, it's never direct idiot, what are you? New? Shut up. Dipshit." I say
The major looks offended by your comment "No, I'm not new. I just think it's a bad idea to go after them head on."
"Good thing you're not making decisions around here." I say
He glares at you "You can't just dismiss my ideas like that. I'm a major, I know what I'm talking about."
"You're part of my counsel. You give ideas i don't gotta listen to em." I say
He seems frustrated "Fine. But I'm telling you, attacking them like this is not going to end well."
"Sure, just shut up and-... actually. I got an idea." I say
wispers to Smith "Take him on a walk and kill him with a knife then get rid of the evidence." I say
Smith looks shocked and shakes his head "No way. I'm not going to do that. That's murder!"
"Keep your voice down and prove your loyalty." I say
He looks at you, his eyes narrowing "I won't kill him. You can't make me."
"Then you'll die too." I say
He seems to be thinking it over. Finally, he sighs "Fine. But I'm only doing this because I have no choice. I'm not happy about it."
"You 2 majors right there, which one of you wants to be my new major?" I say
The other major looks at you, his eyes widening "You're serious? You're really offering that position?"
"All you gotta do is kill these 2 fools called leaders." I say
He looks at the major, his eyes narrowing "You're asking me to kill them?"
"Quickly." I say
He hesitates for a moment before pulling out his gun. He points it at the leader, his hand shaking slightly.
"Both of them now." I say
He looks at the other oeader, who is staring at him in shock. He seems to be thinking about what to do next.
Kill him or you wont be my right hand
He looks back at you, his eyes filled with fear and uncertainty. He takes a deep breath and looks back at the major. He raises his gun and pulls the trigger.
"Now the next guy." I say
He looks at the other leader, who is now staring at him in horror. He can't believe what he just saw. He's too scared to do anything.
"Quickly." I say
He raises his gun, his hands shaking even more now. He's not sure if he can do this. But he knows he has to if he wants to keep his life.
"Hey 3rd leader you look unphased." I say
The third leader looks at you, his face expressionless. He seems to be completely calm and unaffected by the situation.
"You wanna get major?" I ask
He nods "I would be honored to serve as your major."
"Then kill him." I say
He stares at the major, his face still expressionless. He seems to be thinking it over. Finally, he raises his gun and fires a single shot.
"Perfect. I love that loyalty." I say
He lowers his gun, He seems unphased. The 3rd leader looks at you, waiting for your next command.
"Your now major." I say
He looks surprised but also proud "Thank you, my lord. I will do my best to serve you."
"And you other guy who was a pussy. I don't care if he was your friend. You still should've shot him. Now clean this shit up and be good at your job or you wont keep the rank of assistant major." I say
He nods, his face pale. He knows that he messed up, but he doesn't want to lose his position. He quickly starts to clean up the mess.
"major, what is your name?" I ask
He looks up at you, a bit surprised that you asked him that "My name is John."
