Persistent. That was the only word he could come up with that explained his opponent?s tactic. The two armies were alike in this way, both sticking to their plans like there was no other option. Neither tactic was a failure, and that alone reflected the greatness of both armies.
A few hundred yards away stood the opposition, clearly itching to move into their next phase. All of there warriors had been through the battles, through the trenches, and had all the experience one would need. That was their advantage in this battle.
Sixteen stood idle, his hole body motionless as a small breeze whirled around him. Millions of things ran through his mind, as he alone stood in the middle of a thirty-foot gap in his walls. They?d finally made it through, and it was now only a matter of time before they leaked in. The hole was more than just a break in the wall, but an entranceway for doubt. If his walls could be smashed, then this fort could be demolished, that was the fact.
Still looking out through the hole, the android worked out another plan. There was no doubt in his mind that Dante would come charging through this gap, and his mind created the exact image. Swarms of enemy troops would tear through this hole, and they would be met with his own force.
As he imagined the battle that would take place here, words from the former commander rang through his mind. ?No matter the size or damage of a wall, it is still a key defense. You defend your walls, and you are no doubt on your way to victory.? That statement would be the basis of his newest plan.
Knowing Dante would continue to try and lure them out, the machine chuckled for a moment. It was amusing to see the opposition think so lightly of his determination to the plan he?d create for the United army. ?The more you attack, Dante, the more we will defend,? Sixteen muttered to himself whirling around to face Monte Cristo once more.
With each step towards the keep, dirt compacted underneath his massive boots. The ground was damp from the morning?s dew, the same dew that brought life to so many organisms throughout the planet. Water was the essence of any civilizations life, and this too would be a key component in the plan.
Turning the handling rather quickly, Sixteen entered his quarters and into his chair. A map of the current Monte Cristo?s status was laid out upon the desktop. Including the thirty-foot gaping hole, as well as other damages caused. With a deep inhalation of oxygen, the machine began sketching out his plans.
?Gokua, take this and implement it immediately. Place your units at the desired position when it is evident that Dante is charging, and don?t be late. We can?t cork the holes, but I believe this is the better option,? the apparatus explained, poking his fingers around the map.
?Also, if any more of our wall is punctured then I want the same thing done to it,? Sixteen added quickly, already half way down the steps.
Hurrying back to his own unit, he grabbed a hold of the General Hiro by his shoulder. ?When it is clearly visible that Dante is advancing, I want all of the snipers atop the walls near the gap. Prevent all the soldiers you can from entering that hole, Reinforcements will be provided by Gokua and myself when our plan has come to bear it?s fruit.
Moments later, the commander stood once again near the massive hole in his defense, watching his plan come to reality. Pieces of the pearly white walls lie scattered along the soil below him. It was still as magnificent as when it was a piece of the wall, still a beautiful white color, and still as strong as any substance available.
Bending down, Sixteen wrapped his metallic fingers around a chunk the size of his fist. ?Troops, do you see this piece of stone. It was once a piece of our walls; the walls Dante have managed to breach. Well I?ve got something to say about this little stone, and that is that this stone is unique. It?s unique in that it will be the only part of this Fortress that our opposition will get its hands on, and I will make sure of that.? Sixteen boomed, raising the stone high up into the sky.
With wide eyes, his soldiers watched silently for a moment. The machine turned in his tracks quickly, and enabled the zoom function within his eyes. Scanning the many faces of Dante, he noticed a very bulky saiya-jin warrior. Cocking the hand with the stone back behind his ear, Sixteen launched stone high into the air. It?s destination Broli.
?Broli, the commander of Dante will receive my message. I?m sure he will know just what that stone represents,? Sixteen though to himself, turning back to his troops.
