Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

Alfons and the new weapons

Alfons who was resting in one of the rooms in a small town that they had taken the night before.

He woke up when he could hear one of his guards knocking on the door, so he got up from his bed and put on his jacket.

When he opened the door, he could see a soldier doing a military salute “Unterfeldwebel Alfons, we have information from the headquarters that we have to stay in this place for at least two days but that they can send us a batch of the new Mg-1 machine guns.

They also report that a large concentration of skeletons was dried in the north so that we may have to defend this place. “

Alfons sighed and looked at the soldier seriously. “Set the alarm so everyone is awake in 5 minutes.

We have to prepare everything to face the skeletons, the last thing I want is to have to take casualties. “

At that moment, the soldier withdrew and carried out the actions that Alfons had requested, so the entire battalion was gathered in the center of town.

Alfons simply took a microphone and spoke while speakers on poles made his voice louder.

“I have important information that a group of skeletons is being created to the north of this place.

We are going to fortify this town as they may attempt a counterattack in the future, although the good news is that we will receive the new Mg-1 hand machine gun.

I hope that all of you are prepared because with that weapon we will end up winning against the counterattack of the skeletons.

Now to work we don’t know when the skeletons will arrive. “

The soldiers made a military salute and prepared everything to be able to prepare the fortification of the town.

To begin, they created trenches around the town to make a trench line that would allow them to cover themselves in case the skeletons had those elven machine guns.

That although they were not very powerful, they had an exceptional ability to suppress the soldiers.

While some were dedicated to digging around the town, others filled sacks with sand, this in order to create barricades.

The work was quite hard but despite this all the soldiers kept working until dawn when they could take a break.

Because of that, Alfons allowed a system of shifts where some would sleep and others would continue with the work.

For its part, he was helping to fortify some buildings where fixed machine guns were to be placed to be able to provide support in all directions.

Although perhaps the only problem was that there were not enough, they only had 5 machine guns, which had to be distributed throughout the town.

Also in the center of the town, a group of 10 soldiers prepared their mortar positions as they would support the soldiers in that place with them.

Throughout that day, they continued working tirelessly to create a defense zone large enough to protect them from the attacks of the skeletons.

The next day, some land mines were laid outside the trenches, and barbed wire was laid.

Although that is not going to stop the skeletons, at least it would give the soldiers enough they have little to be able to attack them.

Also, another thing that was done was to place some wooden boards in the trench to prevent a horrible amount of mud from forming in the trench.

Well, the mud had a big problem because it prevented the soldiers from being able to move quickly and efficiently through the entire trench system.

Well, it limited enough movement and could cause accidents in combat, after working all day.

They took a break and on the third day they could see in the distance a convoy of military trucks that seemed to have some reinforcements and weapons inside.

When the military convoy arrived, the town was received by Alfons, who could see that some of the trucks had artillery pieces.

So a smile formed on his face because with it he could guarantee an effective defense of the entire town.

Well, if there was something the skeletons had, it was that they were too weak against explosions because they must be together they were easy to destroy.

When the trucks stopped, Alfons ordered that the artillery pieces should begin to be brought to the limits of the town in order to be installed.

While some soldiers were doing this, armed soldiers commanded by an Unterfeldwebel woman got out of the trucks.

Who approached Alfons to greet him “It is a pleasure to meet you Unterfeldwebel Alfons, Drusilla told me about you while training with me.

I am Unterfeldwebel Winifreda. I will be supporting you in this defense mission with my battalion. I hope we can work without complications.

My soldiers are ready to support something. Do you want me to send them to carry out an action? “

Alfons nodded and pointed outside the village. “Thank you very much for your help Unterfeldwebel Winifreda, Drusilla is a good friend so I could exaggerate things a bit.

Although I would like you to support us with the installation of land mines and barbed wire.

We also need support in the fortification of all the houses that are in the limits of the town because in case the trenches fall we will have to fight house by house.

I need help with that for now. “

Winifreda made a military salute and began to move her troops to help with whatever was needed.

While she was doing that of other trucks, some members of the logistics area got out who greeted Alfons.

“Unterfeldwebel Alfons, I am glad to see that we have arrived in time to deliver your weapons. Let me show you how the weapons work.

Because of facing an actual threat from skeletons, the headquarters sent a machine to refill the magazines of the Mg-1 machine guns.

I am happy to report that you will be the first battlefront where these weapons will be used for the first time.

We will be supporting at all times to ensure that you can defend this town against any threat.

Also in a few days, an armed Zeppelin will come to be able to support in case the situation gets complicated, although I do not have the complete data.

According to intelligence, it is likely that it will be an attack of at least 100,000 skeletons. I know it could be a lot, but with the new weapons there should be no problems stopping the attack. “

Alfons simply swallowed a bit of saliva and looked seriously at the logistics members. “Well, that information is very important.

Maybe I should start building a bigger defense line. Do you have any idea how long it will take to get there? “

“About 3 or 4 days.”
