Advance Force Moving Out

Because of Al, the whole plan has just turn FUBAR. He forgot one crucial thing as a tactician, 'always expect the unexpected'. Al think he can handle the backlash of the spell. But now, because of that presumption, around 8.000 Eldian soldiers have no reinforcement against around two million of enemy soldiers.

But not all hope is loss. With the OBI, any large army can be decimated instantly. And although there will be no reinforcement until Al get better, they can still ask for supplies, such as weaponary, food, and vehicle.

On the other hand, Faust is currently having a meeting with Dowa kingdom's general. They're talking about a fortress city of Turov, that was captured by Windel kingdom. The soldiers inside the city didn't stand a chance. Not only they are not aware that Windel kingdom is now hostile, the enemy throw everything at them in a single strike.

Another bad news, yesterday, a reinforcement from Sistine has arrived to Turov. The number, 50.000 uruk-kai, plus few teams of golem.

The Dowa's general then explain the importance of recapturing Turov city to Faust. "As you can see from this map, originally, Turov is a checkpoint city for the border city of Haft, that is touching the Krisna border. But now, this city is our first line of defense from Windel, and we lost it. It is important that we capture it back. If not, they will have a straight line to the other border city."

Seeing the map, Faust notice something. "This mountain, 10km from Turov, were they come from there?"

"Not possible. Like I say before, Turov city didn't know that Windel kingdom are now hostile. Likely, the enemy just storm in from the main road. Besides, that mountain is mount mutuwa, or mountain of death. No normal people can go through there and survive."

"Is it cursed?"

"Probably. I once heard from a survivor, that all of his friend just suddenly drop dead when they near the peak. Unfortunately, we still have no idea what kind of curse that mountain has, nor how that one man miraculously survivied."

"I see.." Faust didn't continue, but he has a plan to send in some people there. Because the other side of the mountain, there is the city of Zerui. An important city of Windel kingdom, that's similar to Turov.

"With the order from the king, we will mobilize an army from the neighboring city of Lervi, to take back Turov, before they can attack the other cities."

"How many?"

"From Lervi, 7.000 if we lucky. We will also ask for some spare soldiers from other cities, it should be around 8.000 soldiers, so it will be 15.000 in total. They will be ready in four days."

Faust shake his head hearing this. "It's too slow. The uruk-kai can survive long march just with minimal water. Lervi will lost first before you can mobilize the army. (And the OBI can't attack because of danger close to both city.)"

"So what do you sugest?"

"Call your people in Lervi, and tell them to prepare as many men as possible. Tomorrow, they will ride with me and my men."

After that, Faust head toward the camp, where he told his fellow H.A.U.N.T.S. team about his plan. "... And with that, we will have an hours flight from here to Lervi. Well, except for Yuri and Conrad. Both of you will stay here with the anti spy unit and clear this city. Remember, report directly to king Otus. We don't know who to trust yet, even if it is the people from the inner castle. Alright, questions?... Good. Gear up, we'll move in three hours."

""""""Roger.""""""

The H.A.U.N.T.S. team then began passing the order to the men, that instantly made the engineer team cry. With that order, they basicly have to prepare hundreds of vehicle, of all kinds, in just three hours. The trucks, the tanks, the combat car, the helicopters, not to mention their personal weapons, all of that need to be ready in three hours. Bot orders are orders, and they have to follow through.

Then, three hours has past. The engineer manage to finish the preperation for the ground vehicles and the men are ready to move out. Mindi, Logan and Oman are moving with the mechanized & motorized infantry. While Faust, Gwen, and Feli are moving with the air cav. The mechanized & motorized infantry will be moving out first, while the air cav will finish the final checking.

Because there's no direct rute to Lervi, the mechanized & motorized infantry will have to follow the road, that will cost them around three to four hours road trip. Not to mention, the large number of ground vehicles, creates a long line of vehicle. There are 20 Tsujigiri tank, 30 G6 'Rhino', 50 Stryker ICV, hundreds of trucks and cars, and a dozen of KLX250 reconnaissance motorcycle.

The sight is just too unreal for the people of Dowa. Many of them climb to their roof tops, to get a better look at the ground vehicles moving out. When king Otus saw the lines of vehicle, stretching to the horizon, he couldn't help himself to think, 'I want this army.'
