Rhodes Island wi...
"Sir! scouts have returned. They have fortified the city." One of the retinue soldiers of the Ursus General reported.
"And numbers?" The General demand.
"A few thousand at least. But they have the fortified position to negate our numbers." The Ursus soldier reports. The General raises himself high so that many soldiers can see him.
"THESE INFECTED SCUM! LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THIS PROUD CITY OF URSUS!" The General shouts so many around can hear.
"LOOK, MEN! LOOK AT ONE OF OUR GREAT CITIES! IT IS INFESTED WITH DIRTY, INFECTED RATS THAT SLAUGHTERED OUR PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD!" The rows of soldiers staring at the city start shouting insults at Reunion
"Scum!"
"Rats!"
"Murderers!"
"Savages!"
The General grinned at the scene. "WE WILL TAKE CHERNOBOG BACK AND WIPE THIS PLACE CLEAN OF THEIR FILTH! WHO IS WITH ME" The general raises an ornate Saber into the air as he shouts out to his soldiers. His soldiers raise their weapons and cheer for the General, most still throwing insults to the Reunion, who are watching them quietly.
"CHARGE!" The General commands as he and his men move ahead to clear the city of Reunion.

Patriot walks forward with his soldiers, the Patriots Gurellias behind him, closing in on one of the Barricades to the North. Nothing was said among his troops. When they turn the final corner, the Barricade comes into view. The first thing Patriot sees is the remaining Reunion soldiers guarding this Barricade being cut down by Ursus soldiers. The attackers start pulling the Barricade apart, allowing more soldiers to flow through.
"Follow me," Patriots calls out as he moves swiftly to the Barricade.
Ursus soldiers that had come through see him coming and rush to him with weapons raised. Patriot lunges forward, piercing one unlucky soldier in the stomach before throwing him away. Both soldiers of Ursus and Reunion clash in the street as Patriot's guerillas attempt to plug up the damaged Barricade.
The skirmish was short-lived. Ursus soldiers lay dead or wounded around them. Only a few Reunion had fallen. Shouts and cries could be heard in other adjacent streets, other barricades had collapsed, and now Ursus and Reunion were fighting each other throughout the streets on the North side of Chernobog.
Many Reunion forces further into the city had to take cover as Ursus artillery started bombarding them randomly. The explosions began flashing across Chernobog, damaging buildings or sending soldiers flying in multiple directions. Ursus was causing more damage to the city than Reunion did.
Patriot could see the bombardment behind him further into the city before contacting his leader. "Talulah... Ursus soldiers have breached the outskirts of the city. We can hold it, but we may take unnecessary casualties."
"Hold... Patriot...For as...Lo... As you ca... I nee-" Talulah's broken voice cut off, catching Patriot off guard.
Dust and smoke of the bombardment had entered the air and mixed with the smoke from the raging fires across the city caused by the artillery, making the sky dark. Many Reunion not fighting in the North of the city were either taking cover, Attempting to put out fires or helping the wounded. However, most of the Reunion forces were still on the other side of the city, believing their main threat was coming from the south, not the North.
Reunion soldiers came from another street and relieved Patriot's forces as they climbed onto the mostly repaired Barricade the Ursus had damaged. Crossbowmen were already taking shots at Ursus soldiers that he couldn't see. Patriot was about to move on to another avenue to help when all lights in the now-darkened city flashed green before blowing, causing sparks.
The flash of green followed by darkness caused Reunion and Ursus forces to recoil in surprise. A power cut? Why did they flash green? Their questions went unanswered as the fighting across the outskirts continued. Then, finally, darkness gave way to the casting of Arts and explosions in the distance.

Back in the North, a large Ursus camp had been set up around a few field guns that Ursus used to bombard their city-leaving a bitter taste in their mouth. The crack of the field guns was constant in their bear ears. But, besides the artillery crews and a small defensive force, the camp was primarily empty.
Outside the camp, a lone Ursus crossbowman was walking around the perimeter, whistling to himself, when he heard a twig snap somewhere off in the large forest behind him, light barely breaking through the trees.
He rushed over to a large fallen tree and took cover behind it before pointing his crossbow over the rotting wood and into the dense foliage looking for a target. He pulled out a small radio from his winter jacket and was about to report when a bright sickly flash of green could be seen in the dark foliage coming towards him.
He was about to fire at the light source when a green energy beam hit him directly in the face, sending him onto his back. After that, his whole world went dark.
