In the dead of night, fighting broke out between Hodgkins Forces and Elves at the front it was merely a distraction. A small part in a much larger and well-crafted plot. A plot to decimate Hodgkins' Forces.

The elven elders had sensed that the leader of this force was gravely underestimating them. So in a well-organized, they sought to exploit such an opportunity. In a well-crafted plot, they devised to attack their HQ via old mineshafts and tunnels from the Era of the Elven Empire.

Normally, such a plan would have been called plain idiotic considering the state of the tunnels, which were extremely decrepit and old. But it needed to be done to destroy the invaders. The elves also had some access to some underground tunnels which were built as a plan to wage Militia war against any invader either Billian or Charatian.

These tunnels served as weapon and ammunition depots, sometimes artillery was occasionally stored within these structures. While Large dumps of ammunition and weapons were spread throughout the many Villages of "Elfenland". To serve as a continuation of resistance which as planned would slowly bleed any invasion force. But that plan had one weakness, the will to fight. You see the Elven leaders failed to see that you need morale to fight and it failed in having contingencies in a situation where the foe is more beneficial and logical.

But as the saying goes "no plan, survives contact" and this saying would be seen in the following battles that would decide the future of the Elves and this Newcomer. A Newcomer who came from Another world.

The fighting at the front was bloody as the two sides fought each other with rifles, swords, and melee weapons. Both sides took many losses. But the soldiers under Hodgkins' command were slowly but surely prevailing against this brutal onslaught.

However, the elven leader of the elves was determined to keep the enemy forces distracted for their attack on the enemy leader's HQ which was located in the recently captured Elven village, which they had recently found out from some of their agents.

Nonetheless, the bloodshed continued and the numbness of the dead on both sides continuously mounted. By Dawn, the landscape would be strewn out with corpses from Both sides, a testament to the great battle that occurred.

Mallus knew what he was getting himself into when he joined the Elven Militia but what he didn't expect was to be deployed as one of the Elves dragging some metal Amalgamation. He joined to fight some Human assholes and this is what he gets?!

'Fuck this! Can't I be deployed somewhere other than this pesky place... Those lucky bastards! Lucky to see some glorious combat.'

The elf thought as the chattering of crickets was heard as he and his beloved comrades were busy dragging this obsolete Billian-Made MWH-9 Howitzer while they were following five groups doing the same thing in front of them. The elf was dressed in his Elven Camouflaged Militia apparel.

In total, the elves in his Unit were dragging 5 Billian MWH-9 Howitzers, which were currently obsolete since the "First Billian-Charatian Conflict", where these artillery Pieces served 3 Decades ago. From what Mallus heard these artillery Pieces were gifted to the Elves from the Billian Government as a Gift to counter the So-Called "Charatian Imperialistic Interests in the Area".

But those bastards in the command couldn't just give him some weapon and send him to do the fighting. He was pretty confident that he could drive those Bastards to Lazaria if he was certain.

"Hey Mallus don't just ponder?? Give a push will ya? Do you seriously believe we can just push this cannon? No questions asked?"

A much older Elven voice yelled out to Mallus. As he merely nodded without a word and pushed harder. Without a word, the much younger elf continued his push as the soldiers continued their attempt at dragging the artillery piece. He couldn't help but think of a much better job.
