Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

They Arrive

Sarna got word the Army was only an hour away.
She was told it was miles long. Wagons cannon
Infantry Cav was all on the way. Not even The First United Army or Combined Army of Carolina and Virginia was as big.  That she thought was hard to
believe. She didn't stand in the back ground this
time. The Front her Command element at her back.
One Company from each Army of Carolina and Virginia plus the Missasip and Bama, Wisconsin the First United.

She felt Jena she could just hear the Army moving.
Jena was telling her victory can be yours. I am
so pleased to have made it. Dear Sarna you've told
Ben. Good for you shortly in a few till then.

Sarna turned, Ben get up here with me! Not in
the back. Ben stepped up, Sarna took his hand
Ben its happening we are coming together.
The Ohio's the rest will come, they won't have
them in, and not themselves. Ben felt like Sarna
how could they stay out now, the Ohio's have
come! Who would have thought they would.
Ben looked towards the road, Sarna my dear look!
Must be thirty wagons filled with soldiers. Another
ten covered wagons. Then thirty more like the front same following those! Small group riding to
the front must be Jena. Sarna they go past what I can see!

Sarna looked Ben in the eyes, Ben we have a chance. We might get a normal life smiling.
Ben wanted so to agree, he nodded squeezed
her hand. Thinking I want that as much as you
If the war doesn't kill one or both us.

Jena her Father and a small group of guards
rode up. Jena said detachment to the rear behind
the greeting Army. Sarna Ben so good to see you.
Sarna smiled cousin good to see you. Uncle always
a pleasure. Ben nodded never thought you'd
get here. Jena damn happy to see you. Norm
Noble didn't think you would be here.

Norm laughed Ben please Norm for now. No pecking order. Now me and Jena will fall back
with the rest. This is your and Sarna's moment.

The first wagon stopped, the officer climbed off.
General of the Army while saluting I'm Major
Morrison commander first Mounted Infantry.
Where would you like use to set up?
Sarna said for now Major the Army of Ohio may
set up at the far end left of the Stockade.

Thank you I'll see to it. Bye your leave mam.
Sarna said good day to you.

As each regiment passed they tipped their standards. Sarna saluted like the Major did.
Ben I'm not sure on the protocol. Am I doing
right? Ben leaned over I'm not sure Sarna I
truly don't know. Sarna smiled that doesn't help.

Sarna fidgeted some finally Ben the last of them.
How long we stood here? Has to be two hours.
Ben said only ten minutes short of two. Where are we going to house them?

Ben I don't know I figured maybe thousand would
be with Jena has to be twenty thousand. If not
more. Ben we need a command meeting now.
Jena her Command element and ours. Dear we
have to be over hundred thousand strong.
Have Lana set up the coffee and tea, feed these
people. Have her take charge off that. Call a meeting. I need to think some give me a half hour.

Sarna walked out hundred yards from the gate.
Looking at the Stockade then around it. I can't
rotate them from inside to outside, still believe
some would be in tents. Guess form two think they
call it lazy W from both sides of the gates front and
rear build shelter off the walls. Best I can figure.

Least ways better than tents out in the cold.
Well best I can think, Lana must of been five steps
ahead of me. Liza already has others running
to inform them food and hot coffee tea is ready.
I am lucky to have thinking command. The Inn
I need to see the drawing of the stockade.

Louse looked up Sarna you see! We've grown past
the point even I figured! Garret nudged Louse
forgive Louse. Sarna he gets excited easily. This
maybe a burden where to put them. We have the
drawing of the stockade out.
