Frost is aiming at the three horses with his .50 BMG M82A2 Shoulder fired 'Helicopter killer' barret

"You can see them, right?" Alejandro asked

"Yes, sir They seem to be the Reconnaisance element of the brigands. Their main elements is behind them. Five or Six thousand, I'd say." Frost replied

"Think they're after the south gate?" Itami asked

"Most likely. They dont have enough men to surround the city. North side stands against a sharp cliff, so they're probably going to concentrate their forces on one of the 4 gates. But if they do attack the other gates, they're going to be having a helluva time dealing with the rest of our well trained third company" Alejandro replied

"Sir, Permission to blow the scouts up? We currently have an AC-130U(PH) Spooky II nicknamed 'Demonyo ng Cavite' currently orbiting above ithalica and are awaiting bombardment orders." Ramirez asked

"Negative, Sargeant." Alejandro replied

"Why sir?" Ramirez asked and Alejandro grinned

"I want them to observe the fireworks display (massacre) that we are going to perform."

Ramirez understood what Captain Alejandro was trying to say

"Yes sir." Ramirez smiled

2nd Lieutenant Honeylyn Ventura walks up to Itami and Alejandro

"Here are your NVG's, Lieutenant, Captain." Honeylyn said

"Thanks, Lieutenant Ventura." Alejandro smiled

Honeylyn blushes a bit but hides it

"No problem, sir." Honeylyn saluted and quickly storms off

"Huh? What's with her?" Alejandro asked cluelessly

"I think someone's got a crush on first sight on you." Itami teased

"Huh?! Manahimik ka nga Lieutenant Itami, imahinasyon mo lang iyan, walang babaeng magkakagusto sa akin"

(Translation: Huh?! Shut up Lieutenant Itami, it's just your imagination, no woman will like me)

Alejandro playfully punches Itami in the shoulder

"Ow! Ok, fine, I'll shut up." Itami replied sarcastically

Alejandro and Itami both equip their NVG's and Alejandro calls Private Santos

"Private Jose Santos. The final protective line should follow along the fort's walls." Alejandro ordered

"Yes Sir!" Private santos saluted

"Hey Alejandro, Itami. Why are you and your army helping the princess of an empire that's supposed to be your enemy?" Rory asked

"To protect the townspeople." Alejandro smiled

"Are you two serious?" Rory asked

"Yes. And this city is strategically important to the US, Philippine, Japanese and Korean war effort. If we can convince the princess to secede power over this city. It will reduce the Empire's supplies by a huge margin and if we build another airbase here. We can commence bombing operations on the imperial capital and other important cities" Alejandro replied
