Richard- United Human Faction- Day 5
There was no sound in Richard’s third day in the field, at least none he could recognize any more. Hours upon hours of combat had left him dulled and unready for command was doing. The other men around him, the civilian soldiers, yelled out commands and others followed. Richard, however said and heard nothing, only took aim and fired at those unlucky souls who remained loyal to the Union.
As the days grew shorter, so did Richard’s patience. They were making no progress toward the East, and by the tenth day of fighting, many were beginning to lose hope in the cause. The leadership, within both the Faction Network and the volunteer army, kept the men in the field, even when they felt they were fighting for a dying cause.
The trained soldiers on the other side felt the same way, though. The Faction never stopped pushing, truly believing in the cause they fought for. There was the sense of a goal, a shining light at the end of the tunnel, which wasn’t visible the US lines. Richard was one of those who really saw that light in its full glory.
Returning to the offices, Richard requested a large number of materials. Every one was explosive. Carlos provided the goods. The one substance he paid no notice to was the most dangerous one. Richard built five of his specialized grenades and packed them into his humvee. He was done waiting for action to be taken. He went straight to Carlos again, requesting authority to lead an assault on the local base. The request was immediately made into an official order. Richard would have his knife. He would drive it into the heart of the enemy force. And they would know his name.
