[Random Soldier POV]

I frowned as the day turned to night, as orders from above took precedence. We had just taken this territory, taken all of this ground.

And even after so many of us were killed in the initial assault and even how the backup had been destroyed too.

Something was fishy, something in the background was going on and I wanted to find the cause oif it.

Well I would if I had reasonable cause, or even the guts. But alas, I could only sigh and trap myself in my thoughts.

"Yo!" One of my pals greeted. 

His head was low in order to keep away from any of the potshots that those on the wall might take at us.

"Hello" I greeted back, and he did so once again. It was an annoying habit of his, to just greet back and forth like that. But after a while it was just endearing.

"You heard the orders?"

"Yep, seems like the bastards want us to die or somethin'" I sighed and wrapped my scarf tighter around my neck.
