Battle for the Pentagon

Chapter 22 Battle for the Pentagon

POV Justin

I find myself a safe distance from the fighting sitting in a comfortable chair eating popcorn while watching the battle unfold in front of my eyes.

"Your Highness Justin, here I bring your juice as requested." Randall says as he walks over to me and hands me my juice. At this, I nod and motion for Randall to back away from me a bit. Behind me stands Wesker as my trusty watchdog. Soon I will have the pentagon in my small hands.

Well, we could have settled anywhere, however, the Pentagon has a lot of resources at my disposal, it's one of the country's symbols of power in addition to all the new minions I could get. A smile spreads across my face as I watch the carnage that occurs.

"Poor stupid people." I say laughing under my breath.

"Is Your Highness calling me?" Randall asks me, approaching me obediently. He is practically my personal assistant and I enjoy this.

"Since you're here, let the second wave prepare." I tell him waving my hand dismissively. "And people outside the perimeter start herding walkers, so much noise will attract thousands of walkers, keep them as far away as possible.

"Yes, Your Highness." He says quickly before running off to get things ready.

It is impossible for these people to defend the entire Pentagon without leaving vulnerable points, the facilities are simply too big and the Pentagon is practically a small city inside.

I get up from my chair while doing a little stretch. "How about we join in the fun?" I asked tilting my head in Wesker's direction as he just stares at me. "I guess that's a big yes!" I say with a smile throwing my hands up in the air and spilling my juice.

Minutes later, I find myself along with several of my minions walking along some underground train tracks while I whistle excitedly. "Your Highness. Why are we on the train tracks? I thought the plan was to take over the Pentagon." Randall asks me as he keeps his guard up due to the fact that we've encountered some walkers on these tracks.

"To answer your question, these tracks lead to the pentagon subway station, only a few doors separate the station from the inside of the pentagon so we will destroy them and enter that way, while the men above continue to cause an excellent distraction." At my response, I can see Randall's eyes sparkle with contemplation and some devotion.

"As always, Your Highness thinks of everything beforehand." He says surprised as the other men following me nod their heads. If only they knew I'm improvising, I just found a subway map and decided to come to check if there's any kind of access. The other plan was to keep spamming until the defenders gave up. However, that would weaken my combat strength and delay my plans.

A couple of walkers approach, however, Wesker walks up to them and crushes their heads with his hands before wiping his hands on Randall's shirt, Randall's face turning a little green as he shuddered a bit. At this, I have to cover my mouth to hide my laughter as we continue to approach the Pentagon subway station.

"It's so quiet around here~ I wonder how Beta is doing?" I asked putting a finger to my mouth as a crooked smile spreads across my face causing some of those present to shiver.

POV Beta

Another vehicle just caught fire in front of me from an explosion, we are slowly approaching the Pentagon using the vehicles as cover, however, for every meter, we advance several men are killed or wounded.

"Don't let the dead turn and carry the wounded out of the combat zone." I say as I take cover behind a vehicle, one of the men tries to fire a missile launcher but it is hit by a bullet in the head. I walk over to the corpse and place the missile launcher on my shoulder. Shortly after, I shoot through one of the windows of an office where they shoot at us causing a huge explosion and creating a crater on the fourth floor.

I drop the rocket launcher and grab the radio. "Bring the ladder we have a small opening." I say over the radio, shortly after, a fire truck approaches at full speed dodging debris as it begins to raise its ladder.

"Cover the fire truck." I shouted attracting the attention of the others as they began to cheer. Some get into their vehicles and drive in front of the truck taking the bullets to protect the truck.

In the end, the truck driver died and crashed into the wall, however, the ladder was already positioned right at the fourth-floor crater.

"By Your Highness." The men yell, running in the direction of the fire truck as they start to climb the ladder. This devotion that these people have is abnormal, the damn child brainwashed all these people by instilling fear in them.

"Move forward!" I scream as the other men scream and continue to fight to take over the Pentagon, all at the behest of a kid who doesn't care about them.

Without a doubt, Justin is a very scary kid, however, I would follow that kid to the depths of hell with no regrets.

POV Mike

Alarms ring non-stop throughout the facility as men run to and fro with guns drawn, many firing from upper-floor office windows to slow down the enemy's advance.

The windows are bulletproof, however, we need to open them to be able to shoot and push the enemy back, otherwise if they manage to access it will be a one-sided slaughter.

"Keep shooting!" I yell orders as I peer out one of the windows at the chaos brewing outside. I was assigned along with my men to defend the eastern front of the Pentagon. However, the enemy force is terrifying as they get closer and closer to us.

They're using the vehicles as cover. "Those vehicles need to be stopped, shoot the tires." I say as I start shooting too, this causes some vehicles to stop, but only momentarily as other vehicles take their place and keep moving forward while shooting at us.

Minutes later, the enemy is too close to us and many men are already getting nervous. "Sir, they are getting closer and this is happening on almost all fronts, we won't be able to hold out much longer." Says one of my men in alarm as he takes cover in a corner of the office.

"We have to defend the position, if we let them in we will all be..." I don't finish the sentence due to a loud explosion that occurs near us sending us to the ground. I hear a ringing in my ears as I try to stand up and leave the office where we were.

There are many men injured due to the explosion while a hole in the wall is visible, it should be noted that we are currently on the fourth floor. "Take the wounded to the medical station." I say leaning against a wall to catch my breath a bit. In that, several men begin to move the wounded and shoot those who unfortunately died in the head.

"Luckily they can't go up here." Says one of my men staggering a bit in my direction and looking at the crater in the wall. In the distance, however, a fire truck is speeding towards our position with a raised ladder.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." He says before starting to shoot through the crater but is quickly hit by enemy bullets.

"Don't let that truck get any closer!" I shout while also trying to shoot, however, the enemy fire intensifies in our direction causing many casualties. The truck crashes into the wall, but its ladder remains in the entire crater, much cheering is heard from the attackers who quickly approach and start to climb the ladder.

"They're going up, we have to go back." Says one of my men before leaving his position along with others. At this, I begin to back up quickly as I grab the radio and walk out of the office.

"The enemy has entered the facility, we immediately request reinforcements at our position." I say into the radio before grabbing a grenade and throwing it into the office, causing an explosion along with several screams. However, several men start to come out of the office shooting at us at close range. Then began a battle through the corridors of the Pentagon.
