OOC: Cell Jr, I just want to take a moment to describe the setup of Dante just so you can be able to better respond when it comes time for you to roleplay. I?ve cleared this strategy with Burter, and I want to make it official so that you can understand what?s happening. Of the siege weapons that Dante has, we have several dozen ladders, five battering rams, and ten towers. We?re approaching Sanguine from its eastern wall. Two battering rams and five towers will attack the south of the gate at the eastern wall, and the rest will attack north. One battering ram will be attacking the gate. Now you know where to defend incase my RP makes it confusing.
?Dante,? the Commander began, his hands at his hips as he looked to the ground. ?Everything I can say, you?ve heard before. You know all of my tirades of glory and honor. You know what I expect from you today. So, allow me to give you all one last inspiring speech.? The men listened attentively, by now holding enough respect for Burori to always listen at the first sign of his speaking. ?It?s been a pleasure battling all of you. Some of you won?t make it out of here alive. You?ll be disqualified and you?ll go back to your lives. I say to you this ? go back having made something of yourselves. If you die today, die having made every single person, spectator and warrior alike, aware that you are a soldier of Dante and that you fought to your very last! If you go home today, go home proud, knowing you proved yourself today, that you proved yourself in a way that no one could deny you. Do you understand?!? The soldiers nodded, their Commander?s words flowing in their minds. He took a step forward. ?I asked if you understood!? They straightened their backs, roaring a ?Yes, sir!?
?Give the order, then!? came the final words from Burori?s lips. There was no turning back now. Broli had taken the time to carefully plan each and every step of this invasion. Day Thirty-Two had brought him at Sanguine Castle?s gates with an alienoid commander barricaded within. This was the last stand for Outcast. This was their final chance for survival. Would they be able to overcome the massive force of Dante? Or would they fall brutally and bloodily?
The Saiya-Jin Commander nodded to his men, a series of orders following out between officers. The men began to push, and the siege weapons were on their way. Half of the entire force waited at the camp while the first half filed behind the cover of the siege weapons. Men attempted to filter behind the towers as well as the battering rams, using their thick planks for cover. ?Once they?ve established a foothold, the rest of us will move in. I want you to move in with Lieutenant Akane and lead the men,? the Commander furthered to his Lieutenant, Reijin.
He sighed, knowing that certain death awaited some of his men. Still, he knew that those who died wouldn?t go home disappointed. They had been given the opportunity to be part of a team that had as of yet been undefeated, and that was an honor that they would never lose. It was an honor that they would tell their family and friends of for the rest of their lives, of the time that they participated in the Dante?s Abyss: Conquest event and chased the Outcast force to destruction. It would make for a good bedtime story, Broli knew.
The first shot from a sniper rifle signaled the beginning of the battle. The men of Dante struggled to remain behind the towers and battering rams, the ladders having been as of yet left in the Dante camp. A line of men fell to the earth, their souls vanishing from their bodies and returning to their once ever-so-peaceful lives. A second series of sniper shots rang out, claiming another handful of men. Still, Dante was ever vigilant, pushing with their siege weapons with all their might. Got to get to the wall? One soldier thought, his face against the backside of one of the towers. His eyes remained tightly shut, the sound of gunfire rushing about his head. Just need to get to the wall?
The first few siege weapons reached the wall. Unfortunately, they had only touched the tip of the iceberg, and a long battle had only begun to occur.
OOC: Wasn?t very good, but started nonetheless. Siege weapons are moving to the wall, some already reaching it.
