Rise of The Necromancer Tactician Chapter 1, “In the Trench”

…..

….

The sun is rising, on the battlefield, there are two sides, one side which is the defender and the other is attacking because the clothes they wear are different, you see which side is which by seeing color red or blue

In bird eye view you can see that the attacking side is winning the battle against the defending side as there are more troops on the attacking side than the defending side.

It looks interesting when you see a battle in bird's eye view or third-person view because you can see what goes down there, the whole battle in real-time and keeps track of it but the people fighting down there don’t have that privilege of knowing the situation if they do it be like it god wishes for them to win.

Down on the battlefield, you can hear grenade being exploded and guns being fired

One of the sides is in the trench and the other is not in the trench, risk their lives in no man's land

….

….

A shout was heard, “GET YOUR ASS READY THE DAMN CULT HAVE SENT THERE FULL FORCE AT US THIS TIME!?”

“YES SIR, SERGEANT MAJOR BUT THE ENEMY HA-“

“I DONT GIVE FUCK IF YOU ARE PEANUT, IF WE DONT RECEIVE ORDER TO RETREAT WE WON’T QUESTION IT”

“YOU GOT IT!?”

“YES SIR!?”

You can tell from the tone of the sergeant major that he is one of these types of people that follow his country to death like the Japanese 2nd lieutenant of the imperial army, Hiroo Onoda who never surrendered even after 1945 when Japan officially surrendered to the allies in a book I read before in my memory

I forget who I was, I have anesthesia that everyone in the platoon believes in. It has been 3 weeks since I was here on the battlefield but I remember the book when I heard the tone of the sergeant speaking

You see a man in a blue uniform with one golden V on his shoulder sitting on the supply crate, that me. my name is Mark that what I find on the dog tag hanging on my neck

The person that was yelled by the sergeant, I was planning to talk to him during lunchtime which is 12:00 noon based on the watch I have on me and base on the sun rising after the enemy retreat.

I don’t know why but I feel both of us have some sort of connection as both of us are in the same situation.

“Don't keep stare at the sun it is not good for the eye”, He approaches me

“O Hi”

“The name is John”

“O, my name is -“

Dammit I think I forget my name again then he looks at my dog tag

“Mark rights?”

“Yeah”

“You don’t need to be shy after we all are going to die anyway”

Shy!? I was angry that he uses that word but I need to get more information on the situation I was in

“You see I forget my memory and I am trying to remember my name”

“You get anesthesia?”

“Yeah”

“So you didn’t know the reason we were here

“To fight the enemy”

“Well that quite obviously, we were sent here to destroy the cult rebel on Port Petter”

“Rebel?”

“You have forgotten what the rebel is?", they are a group of believers on this island, that believe the world shouldn’t be governed by one system, which is United Govern Nation” who the rebel i

….

….

After a long talk with John, I figured out the reason we were sent was to destroy the rebel but the reason we still here was that the UGN wasn't going to send more force because they believed that a small group of island rebels wouldn’t have the ability to defeat a platoon. The UGN is a giant country that rule all the main landmass exist on the planet except some island

I am in the year 3000 and the world has not evolved from trench warfare even after 1935. People have ideas about creating semi-automatic weapons like AK-47 but whenever someone tries to create a type of semi-automatic weapon their brain begins to think about something else.

It was like some kind of god is causing this phenomenon to prevent humans from advancing into the next stage and that why some people believe that God is preventing human from advance because of UGN a and that why these islanders went against the UGN

Its turnout John was conscripted(drafted) soldiers into the war I assume I was also conscripted into this war as I was a private the lowest rank in the military.

“You lucky you forget who you are, I got a fiancé back at home waiting for me so I have to survive this. You have no purpose to survive so I can see you don’t care if you die but I have a purpose” he answers me after the long talk

“So why are we still in war if the UGN a have more forces”

“Well one of the factors is the pride UGN have believed that they can kill all the rebels with a platoon and the fact that the Rebel Cult believers are trained with weapons and not just people having guns”

A grenade was thrown from the enemy side it 1 foot away from Me and John

“Mark WATCH OUT!?”, he pushes me away and took the explosions

I try to help him by carrying him on my back

“It too late I took too much damage”

“Can I call you Brother?”

“Why?”

“You have helped me since we talked and to me, you are I can relate to and you help me despite my situation.”

“It already too late for me, I just won't say that I couldn’t see my fía”

John stopped talking, tears flowed out of my eye, damn how can I still be a man If I keep on crying now. He guesses his friend was dead but he wasn’t sure

“MEDIC!?”

….

….

He screams up his throat still carrying his friend but nobody comes, he was about to lose his mind and voice since he has to keep on yelling and waiting

A soldier with a Red Cross on his helmet finally appear and you can he the medic

“My friend needs your help, he wounded after taking a grenade explosion for me”

“Let me check” he checks the pulse of John

“Sorry about this but your friend is already dead”, Before I could even get angry at him, he was shot in the head. I find the nearest weapon which is a hunting rifle all troop have and I grab it and duck under the trench and then I took a peek out and I could see 20 people approach my position in the trench

I took aim and fire

SFX: Bam

SFX: Bam

SFX: Reload

SFX: Bloom

SFX: Bam

SFX: Bam

I kill 4 people with the hunting rifle I use and 1 enemy with a grenade I throw. The rifle I was using went out of ammunition to shoot and I couldn’t find any grenade on me. I told himself I must survive this for my brother/friend John

I look around and couldn’t find any weapon, “shit I screw now”

I lit a cigarette bud that I heard that deals with stress, I may as well use it even though it has a bad Health effect, today is probably my last day anyway. I get it from John before he dies but I didn’t use it because I was scared I would become addicted to it.

I puff out a smoke

Cough*

“Damn I shouldn’t have tried it when I going die” he tried and couldn’t understand why some people like to smoke

5 enemy soldier wearing a red uniform jump down to the trench and surround him with guns aimed at him

“So is this my last day on the battlefield even though I been here for 4 weeks, guess I was just a minor character”

“If I ever have 2nd chance I will not be canon instead I will be just a commander or something that have others listen to me”

He deeply regrets that his friend die because the platoon was not ordered to retreat and they need an order from HQ and he had wish he did something about it

5 gun was heard Bam fired from the enemy soldier

He can feel pain and coldness as death is slowly approach him, he tried to keep his eye open but his eye felt tired and need to rest just like him in the afterlife

His last thought was “I wish I was the protagonist in a novel or book I had remembered before”

He didn’t get his lost memory back but he does have a dream about the real world in an alternate timeline but he die today so he no longer dreams about a world that was called earth
