Chapter 12: Battle Of Kazel ( Part 2 )

John and his men have to facing the most Elite and the most fearful force in the Army of King Shiva, the Suicide Soldiers.

The Suicide Soldiers at first roar a war cry then running towards John and his men, John orders his soldiers to shoot at the Suicide Soldiers.

Many gunshots had been fired, the Suicide Soldiers die one to one but they show no fear of death but keep coming to the last man, they run as fast as possible to the enemy they are facing, as expected from a force that has been trained to overcome the death.

"Kac!" - John realizes his M2 Browning has ran out of ammunation

Then John gets out of the Humvee car to join fighting with his soldiers, his soldiers are shooting at the Suicide Soldiers, they feel annoying when the enemy running to them with swords in their hands and throwing knives at the soldiers.

John's soldiers are told to save as much ammo as possible so they shooting at the enemy with their rifle are in semi - automatic mode, Corporal Uban, instead of fighting with the enemy alongside with his comrades, he trying to find a place to hide but that is useless, then a knife that threw by Suicide Soldiers hit his left shoulder, he screams in pain.

Private Bob also struggling when shooting those Tigarian fearless soldiers, he hasn't removed the arrow that hit his right hand yet so he also endures the pain and keep firing.

Before John came out from the Humvee car, he managed to bring with him a M4A1 Assault Rifle, the rifle itself had been mounted bayonet.

When John opens the car's door, in front of him is a suicide soldier that somehow managed to get around the car, when that man is about to kill John with a sword in his hand but John managed to stab him with the bayonet which mounted on his rifle, that soldier's blood keep spruting out nonstop, that soldier later dies.

Then John joins with his men, firing at those Suicide soldiers that are trying to kill him by throwing knives, John opens a sick smile in front of his soldiers but seem like they didn't care about it because they're shooting at the madmen that keep coming to kill them.

Private Bob is being hit again, a knife that hit his right shoulder but he doesn't care but keep firing at those Suicide Soldiers keep coming at him and his men.

In a short time, the entire 100 Suicide Soldiers are now dead, John is now thinks about retreating his troops by using Helicopter but before he can do it, in front of him and his men appear a group about 20 mages from Tigarian troops.

They had dig a trench there, big enough to fit the mages from covering, the mages expose themselves to John and his soldiers, there is a mage in a Red Hood, seems like the commander of the mages.

That man then orders the mages towards their magic staffs to John's platoon, shouting a word:

"Fireball!"

20 Fireballs flying towards John and his soldiers, John and the soldiers position are really close to the mages but the Fireballs speed are so slow so all of them managed to dodge the Fireballs.

After firing those Fireballs, the mages hide under their trench, they are recharging their Fire magic and then firing again at John and his men.

The soldiers struggling to fire at the mages that hiding under the trench after firing the Fireball shots, John and his soldiers then hear the sounds the Tigarian Soldiers that were chasing them before are now gathering with large groups and running towards them, John's platoon has been surrounded all 4 sides.

These soldiers want to wipeout John's platoon in this ambush, then John and his soldiers change their directions to kill the Tigarian soldiers that heading to them from far away, some of his soldiers keep their previous position to shoot the mages that hiding themselves under the trench.

John and his men are now struggling a lot than before, the Humvee car of Sergeant Harvod is the only car that the M2 Browning is still working.

Private Taylor is terrified when shooting at the Tigarian infantry soldiers and Cavalries, they keep coming despite they had suffered many deaths, the soldiers keep coming through the corpses, the corpses of Tigarian soldiers gradually become a mountain of dead bodies.

When John and his soldiers think they're about to die, luckily, the UH - 1 Helicopter team has come, Private Fal throwing grenades and shooting the M60 at the Tigarian soldiers that coming from below.

"We're saved!" - Corporal Uban says in happily

John looks at the chopper, Private Fal throws a grenade to the trench that the Tigarian mages are hiding, most of the mages die instantly after the explosion.

The Red Hood mage, the commander of the Tigarian mages has been heavily wounded but keep trying to firing his Fireball to the Metal Bird that flying in the sky.

John after seeing the performance of UH - 1, he smugling to see the Tigarian soldiers terrified, then he looks back at the trench that the mages were about to kill him and his men now had been defeated.

But John then shocked at what he sees, the Red Hood mage, who is still alive from that grenade explosion keeps looking at the Helicopter from above, he points his magic staff towards the Helicopter and says:

"Fireba-" - The Red Hood mage trying to spell magic even he is heavily wounded

Then the Red Hood mage falls down on the ground and dies, John is impressed at the spirit of Tigarian Soldiers.

Back to the M1 Abrams team of Sergeant Grass, the enemy managed to get up the Tank but they can't go inside it so they smashing the Tanks with their swords, spears and even using big rocks to smash the Tank, somehow Sergeant Grass managed to get his Tank moving.

Back to John's platoon, the UH - 1 Helicopter is now about to land on the ground to save the remaining soldiers that are now stuck by the enemy ambush.

The UH - 1 Helicopter is capable to carry 12 crews, including two 2 pilots, the soldiers that are underground about 9 men, enough them get all of them inside.

Private Taylor keep firing at the human waves of Tigarian soldiers, he keep firing until "Kac!"

"The gun is out of ammo!" - Taylor shouts to the soldiers

Then Harvod and Taylor get out of their car, they keep firing at the soldiers keep coming to them, Lieutenant John, who is shooting at the Tigarian soldiers, orders the pilots to land the chopper down as fast as possible.

Corporal Uban scares, he trying to climb up the big hole that held the Humvee car, John sees him and raises his left hand to Uban, Uban then grabs John's hand, John pulls him up while firing at the Tigarian soldiers.

"Imediately get inside the chopper!" - John orders to Uban

Then John looks back to the chopper to see if it is already landed or not, but he surpises when he sees 10 horses come out from behind, about heading towards to the chopper.

John was about to shoot those horses but he didn't see any people on them, the horses themselves didn't have saddlers, but John didn't have to much time to think about it, he turns around to shoot the Tigarian soldiers that keep coming.

Then John looks at Sergeant Grey, who is looking back the chopper with a shocked face, he turns around and sees about 10 Suicide Soldiers are throwing something like smoke bombs towards to the chopper.

The smoke bombs make Lieutenant Dan and Private Fal hard to see, John then looks at the Suicide Soldiers, he didn't know what are they planning to, then John orders Sergeant Grey:

"Don't shoot! You will hit our men!" - John orders to Grey

Then Private Taylor raises his M4A1 Assault Rifle up, signals the pilots to leave the area and shouts loud to them:

"Just leave us! Get back here later when the situation is more safer!" - Taylor shouts loud to the pilots

Lieutenant Dan and Private Fal hear Taylor's words, he shouted too loud, they immediately drive the chopper away, the Suicide Soldiers who were throwing smoke bombs towards the chopper are being now shot to dead.

John is considering his next move, he thinks about ordering the chopper to come back in another time, then John sees a group of about 5 horses fleeing away from the area the chopper gone.

John is about to shoot at the horses but he didn't see any people, later when the horses moving a bit far away, there are people appear one them.

John has now realized how could the Suicide Soldiers attacking his chopper, these soldiers had using a special technique to hide under the horses in the death angles, that's why John didn't see them.

Then Sergeant Grey touches John's right shoulder:

"Captain! Look!" - Grey points his right hand to the chopper

John then looks up the UH - 1 Helicopter had gone away not really far from them, he realizes there is a man holding the right side of the chopper's landing skid, opposite from the side that Private Fal is using the M60, trying to climb up.

"Immediately inform them!" - John orders his soldiers

Then John rushing back to Private Taylor, telling him make a radio contact to the soldiers in the Helicopter team.

"Our radio is broken, Sir!" - Private Taylor says to John

"You run on foot to inform them!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Then Private Taylor running away from John's platoon, trying to keep up with the chopper to inform, the Tigarian soldiers who were heading to John's soldiers position are now changing their direction to Taylor.

Taylor running while shooting his M4A1 Assault Rifle, when the rifle runs out of ammo, he throws the gun away, running to the chopper and shouts loud:

"Fal! There is a man holding up there, trying to get in your chopper!

"Land the chopper down! Land it down!" - Taylor shouts as much as he could

Stolen novel; please report.

The chopper is not too far away from Private Taylor's postition but Fal cannot hear what he talked because of the engines on the chopper, Fal using hand signals, telling Taylor to get back because he is in danger.

"Land the chopper down! Immediately!" - Taylor is breathless

Then Taylor see a group of Suicide Soldiers driving horses after him, about to slice him with their swords, Taylor pulls out a KA - BAR knife and about to fight back but unfortunately, he being sliced many times, Taylor's right hand is now full of blood, he lost some of his fingers but keep trying to points his right hand towards the chopper for Fal to see but dies before he could do that.

Taylor's body later being thrusted by the Tigarian soldiers's spears that coming from behind, he died painfully.

Private Fal saw that entire scene, he cries at his comrade's death but he didn't have much time to cry, he wipping his tears and about to check the ammo of the M60 before going back to save the soldiers with Lieutenant Dan.

Then Fal looks behind him because he heards some noises, he then freezes when seeing a man with in a black armor, managed to climb up the chopper, Fal is now realized why Taylor running and shouting to him, is to inform him about that man.

But before Private Fal could do anything, the man in the black armor pulls out a knife that he holds in his mouth and throws it to Fal's chest.

Fal being hit, he trying to scream to let Lieutenant Dan to hear but has now struggling to wreste with the man in the black armor.

"Fal! What's happening behind you?" - Lieutenant Dan says that because he heards loud noises coming from behind

Then Dan looks behind, he sees Private Fal struggling to stop the man in the black armor that now has get in their chopper.

Lieutenant Dan immediately changes the chopper to automatic flight mode and rushing to help Fal, the man in the black armor pulls out the knife he used to throw at Fal and stabs him again in his neck, Private Fal goggleeyed his eyes, means he is dead.

Then that man shoves Private Fal to Lieutenant Dan, that collision makes the chopper engines broke, the chopper is about to fall down the sky.

That man later looks down from the chopper, seeing the Tigarian soldiers are deploying a human waves to save him when he jump down, they also deploying a lot of thick cloths to save that man life.

Then the man in the black armor jumps down from the chopper, he managed to land down the sky with no wound but then orders his soldiers to run away the area that the chopper is about to fall.

"Run away! Run away!" - That man shouts to Tigarian soldiers

Lieutenant Dan trying to control the chopper to the end, but its engines have broken, the chopper later falls down from the sky, exploded to pieces.

John and his soldiers are now following together, they have found the Tank team and saved the soldiers inside the Tank, when John is still firing at the incoming Tigarian soldiers, he looks up the sky and sees the entire scene of the UH - 1 Helicopter falling from the sky to pieces.

John's soldiers are very shocked, John either, then Corporal Uban holding John, pointing his hands to chopper that now burning on the ground.

"Don't cry! Their death are not in vains!" - John says to Uban

Then John takes a grenade from Uban's pocket, also gives him his M4A1.

"Keep fighting!" - John roars

Corporal Uban after received John's rifle, he running towards to the Tank team, which is the place the soldiers are gathering and shooting the enemy, in that progress, he sees a wounded Tigarian soldier who is not dead yet, that soldier tried to kill Uban but later died because his wounds, Uban accidently dropped his military helmet when he was so scared.

Then John running alone to the enemy position, he always brings Sheria's sword with him, he draws the sword and managed to kill several enemies with the sword, then a cavalry soldier coming with his spear towards to John but John grabs that spear, make the soldier falls from horseback, dies instantly.

Then John drops the spear, he returns Sheria sword to its scabbards and mounts on the horse of the dead soldier, the horse at first is very hard to control but John managed to control it.

John then rides the horse towards to the Tank team, he shouts loud:

"Head to Enemy's Headquarter! Kill King Shiva!"

The soldiers in the Tank position have now heard John's order, they start following John, Private Bob is now splits out from his men, he about to go to Enemy's Headquarter alone.

John while riding the horse, he managed to pick up a bow and a pack of arrows including 5 arrows on the road.

Private Bob trying to keep up with John but then he lost John's track, he is now surrounded by the enemies.

"Where is the headquarter?" - Bob wonders

Behind Bob, there is a Tigarian soldier that fake death is lying on the ground, he then swings his sword to Bob's left leg, Bob screams in pain, his left leg is now being cut off, he screams, calling for his mom.

"Mama!" - Bob screams in pain

Then Bob thinking about his previous days when he was a kid, staying with is mama, his brothers, his dad were very fun, he wants to go back home and make a big hug to his relatives.

But then, when Bob wakes up, he realizes surrounding him are Tigarian soldiers, they are seizing his hands, hig legs, then a soldier appears, seems like their commander, he raises up his sword and swings it down to Bob's head.

Then after Bob's head is being cut off, that commander raises Bob's head up to the soldiers to see, they're all showing war cry when they finally killed an enemy soldier, like a big achievement.

Sergeant Harvod when seeing Bob split out from his troops to head himself to Enemy's Headquarter, he also doing that the same, he is now also being surronded by the enemy, the Tigarian calvary soldiers are now throwing their spears towards him but he managed to dodge all of them.

Then the M4A1 in Harvod's hands runs out of ammo, he reloads it and fleeing away from the enemy, somehow he managed to come to a plains that is just corpses from the dead enemy, Harvod looking around, he sees a Tigarian soldier, that's a young kid.

The kid soldier also sees Harvod, he raising his spear up but later lowers it down, that kid seems doesn't want to fight, Sergeant Harvod after seeing what that boy did, he also lowers his rifle but.

"Brother! Watch out!" - An another soldier kid comes out from behind and thrust Harvod with his spear

The kid soldier that lowers his spear then rushing to his younger brother, tells his younger brother that he just did the wrong thing, says sorry and showing his worries to the soldier that has been stabbed.

"That's alright! You two are just innocent kids that being forced into this war!" - Sergeant Harvod tries to calm the kids

"Fuck this world!" - Harvod says his last words and dies later

Back to the Tank team, the remaining soldiers are all gathering there, they're getting on the Tank, some soldiers outside also climb up the Tank and shoot the Tigarian soldiers that about to get in.

"Give me another gun!" - Sergeant Grey shouts to the soldiers under the Tank to give him another rifle because his gun has ran out of ammo

The soldiers rushing to get Grey another rifle, they hand him an M14, the situation is now very bad, the enemy keep coming even suffering a lot of casualties.

"God! Please save us! God! Please!" - Some soldiers hiding under the Tank praying , calling God for saving their lives, they're all terrified

Sergeant Grass, who is driving the Tank is now very nervous, he looks down to see how long can the M1 Abrams Tank can run and shocked.

"We've running out of fuel!" - Grass shouts to his soldiers

When Sergeant Grey heard that the Tank has run out of fuel, he orders the soldiers to get under the Tank and hide inside, somehow they managed to get all 8 people inside though the M1 Abrams is designed for 4 crews, the inside is very cramped but the soldiers didn't care, they're all now terrified and hope they can survive.

The Tigarian soldiers cannot get inside the Tank, they angry smashing it, the smashing sounds are more louder and louder.

John is riding the horse to Enemy's Headquarter, he is being chased by 5 Suicide Soldiers that riding their horses.

John then draws the bow and shoots the soldiers but only killed one, the other soldiers when seeing the death of the first soldier, they hide under their horses, John ran out of arrows, he throws the bow away and throws a grenade he took from Corporal Uban to the people chasing him.

All 4 remaining soldiers died, John is now freely to find the Enemy's Headquarter, he has struggled a lot to find it, he has found the enemy's camp, John then beating the horse, make it alone running around the camp and John will sneak inside to take down Tigar Kingdom's King.

King Shiva's camp is being deployed outdoors! The enemy are wondering how a horse of their soldiers that must be in the battle can running freely in their camp, King Shiva's guards also curious about that and go out to see.

Suddenly, John coming from behind King Shiva, who is now sitting on his chair, King Shiva's already knew about John's appearance.

Two commanders of two differents army facing to each others.

"Are you John Brody?" - King Shiva asks John

"And you're King Shiva?" - John also asks King Shiva

"If you're really John Brody, so what's your purpose when coming here?"

"King Shiva! I'm very impressed at your strategy that you used against my troops!" - John talks while raising Sheria's sword, ready his fighting stance

Right that time, King Shiva's guard has just come back from outside, he sees his King is facing the enemy solider, he shouts:

"Soldiers! Come out! Protect Our Majesty!"

Then, the soldiers around the camp surrounding John, but King Shiva draws his sword and points it towards his soldiers.

"I require to fight this man alone duel fight!" - King Shiva orders his soldiers

"John Brody! Let settle down a little bit! If you fight me now, this duel won't be a equal fight, I'm wearing armors, you're not, why don't you sit down and wait a little bit while I'm ordering my soldiers to remove my armors?" - King Shiva suggests John

"No, King Shiva! If I do that, my men will all die out there! Let's have a fight!" - John orders King Shiva

"As you wish! I shall give you a honour death!"

Two commanders are now in their fighting stances, King Shiva is very surprises when he sees John's fighting stance, he knows that John has no experience in the sword fights so he will go easy on him a little bit.

John has no experience of using a sword, he only knows some basic techniques that Sheria taught him, he didn't think much and head right in the fight.

John then shoves a board which has an emblem of Kingdom Tigar with a strong blow to King Shiva to make him surprise, then John swinging the sword repeatedly, trying to hit him.

When John sees King Shiva is about to hit him, he raises that board up and luckily, his face just got a little scar that being sliced by King Shiva by slicing his sword through the board.

Then King Shiva swinging his sword to John, John managed to block all the attack but when King Shiva swings a strong blow, the sword that John holding in his hands flies away and falls on the ground near a tree nearby.

John then falls back slowly, trying to take the sword which is lying on the ground and cautious at King Shiva, King Shiva is not going to attack him because he is waiting for John to pick up the sword.

But when King Shiva sees John cannot read his thought, he disappointed and about to attack, John then pulls out M1911 pistol and shoots King Shiva's chest.

The soldiers around King Shiva and the King himself are very shocked at the gunshot, King Shiva later falls down on the ground, dies.

The soldiers around are shocked, cannot believe in their eyes that their King is dead in front of them, John looks at King Shiva, he is about to smile but then, from behind, that's King Shiva's son, Prince Waffen, the man who wearing the black armor and also the one who took down the Helicopter has just return to the camp.

Waffen swinging his sword at John, his mouth shout: "I'll revenge for my father!"

But Waffen swinging his sword in a hurry so John managed to grab Waffen's hands, trying to take his sword, John makes a high kick to Waffen's face but cannot take his sword, Waffen's grip is so strong.

Then Waffen keep swinging his sword to John and his sword got stuck at the tree which Sheria's sword is lying near it.

John immediately grabs the sword on the ground and slices Waffen's throat, blood spurting out from his throat, the blood has covering John's face, Prince Waffen later falls down on the ground and dies.

John wipping the blood on his face and then realizes the remaining soldiers of Tigar Kingdom are about to get closer on him, he picks up the M1911 he dropped, heading toward King Shiva's head and cuts it off with Sheria's sword.

The Tigarian soldiers are now terrified when they have to see their King and their Prince deaths, they fleeing away, leaving the battle in panic.

John then raises up King Shiva's head by his left hand, he opens a sick laugh.

"Finally! King Shiva is dead! I'm now holding his head! Hahahahahahaaha!"

Then, Princess Sheria from a place very far away, she sees John with a binocular, the Princess's battle is also over, she seems very happy.

"Good job! John Brody! I'll wait for you at Iris, our Capital city!"

Then John comes back for his soldiers, they're all pale, they wondering how could they be alive in this hell battle but everything is over, the war is over.

John opens a smile, he keeps holding Sheria's sword, cossets and thinking it like his savior, Sergeant Grass and Private Nikita get inside their Tank the last time, rasing the Tank cannon up the sky and shoot, signal for a sound of victory.

Because the M1 Abrams Tank has run out of fuel, so it has no value to use anymore, John and the soldiers pushing it to a nearby river in that plains, they slowly push the Tank down the water, the Tank is slowly sinking.

Sergeant Grass, who had droven that Tank for a long time is now crying because he has to say goodbye to it, Grass then removes his Tank hat out of his head and throws it to the river, near the place his Tank is sinking.

"Farewell! Baby! I'll miss you! I'l miss you! Ahh!" - Grass is crying when seeing his M1 Abrams Tank sinking in the water

John's platoon have lost more 6 people, his platoon is now has only 8 people left, they also lost all the supply, the soldiers only have few rounds left in their guns, at least enough for them to use in 3 days.

The sky starts raining, in the middle of the rain, 8 soldiers coming out of a Hell battle, their faces look pale, their bodies feel tired, but they keep going forward, they're all bearing the sacrifices of their comrades in their shoulder, they must keep living for their comrade sacrifices.

John, who is now leading the team, walking towards the road they're heading, that road will lead to Iris, Starvina Kingdom's Capital City, John will meet Princess Sheria there, and two of them will later rule the country together.

John while walking to the Capital City, he keeps repeating the words:

"Just a little bit more, a little bit more, I will rule this country together with Sheria!"

Sergeant Grey is now notices the unsual of his commander, but Grey ignores it, he is now more worrying for the other soldier fates.

Then John stops, he lowers his body to tie the cloth which covered his leg left wounded more tighter, make sure it won't loose.

It's already night, John and his soldiers then stop to stay at an abandoned Church, at Starra, not far from the Capital Iris.
