Chereads / Apocalypse Reborn: Rise of the Dreadlord / Chapter 40 - Wallie's World

Chapter 40 - Wallie's World

[Several hours earlier]

"Make sure the Earth drakes are harnessed properly" AJ shouts out as the Dread knights put saddles on their Drakes. Chris stands with Truth and Lily on the wall overlooking the knights.

"Lily i need you to watch the fort while we are gone" Truth asks as Lily put on a pouting expression.

"Why can't i join, my magic is strong enough to help" Lily complained.

"Cuz i don't trust that Elizabeth lady and i know you're reliable enough to protect this place" Chris chimed in placating Lily.

"Atleast don't take to long, i hate being here with out you and Sam" Lily said before hugging Truth

"I know but we should be back by tomorrow night, day after at the most" Truth said as she patted Lily's back. Lily walked back to the headquarters as Sevrus and Bane walked over to Truth and bowed.

"Mistress, we undead wait for your command" Sevrus spoke disgruntled that he couldn't wage war by his masters side.

"Thank you Sevrus we'll be leaving in 5" Truth replied with a sigh. Chris continued to overlook the knights and undead as they formed up into formations under AJ's orders.

"We march on to Wallie's World my brave knights, Sam has paved the way for our success" Chris shouted to the knights before Truth walked next to Chris.

"I know it hasn't been easy with all that has changed over the last few weeks. The apocalypse has not been easy for anyone, more so for some" Truth looked over the group of knights as she gathered herself.

"Less then a month ago we were normal people living normal lives. Now we find ourselves put against horrors of nightmares but we overcame, we adapted, we grew in strength and in numbers. But now another group of survivors has come with greed of what WE made here what WE fought and died for. Do we just ignore this or do we counter these transgressions" Truth asked aggressively.

"We fight" Someone shouted.

"YEAH" The gathered knighs shout.

"It's time to show our enemies we aren't some easy fruit to be eaten at their convenience. That we aren't to be trifled with, together under the banner of the DreadLord we will fight the Beast, the Monster and even other humans to seize a place we can call our home" Truth jumped off the wall onto a drake once she finished speaking. Chris smile ruefully at Truths display before following behind her as they rush towards Wallie World.

Elizabeth stands on the wall watching as the knights and undead rush out to war.

"While the husband is out for war the wife must make sure the home is tidy" She whispers to herself with a fevered look.

"What is your will Mistress" Kyle spoke while kneeled down behind Elizabeth as he stared at her with worship.

"We will protect Lord husbands territory" she spoke before leaving.

"She's a psycho" Jenna whispered as she walked out of the shadows under the wall Elizabeth stood.

[Three hours later]

"We are almost there" Chris shouted to Truth as they started to slow down.

"It's only been a few weeks and this area already looks foreign" Truth speaks to herself as the knights and undead fall in formation behind Chris.

"It's the Apocalypse for a reason i guess" Chris replied. A rhythmic tapping sounded as Zachary familiar footsteps sounded out.

"To the Mistress i have a report" Zachary spoke up as he gave a slight bow.

"The enemy has only done basic fortifications to the front entrance and rear receiving bay. Almost 200 people left over an hour ago and we haven't seen much activity since" He finished talking and stood to the side.

"Thank you for the report Zachary, did you see anything else like guards or patrols" Chris asked.

"None" Zachary replied lazily.

"Bane, Sevrus and Zachary you will launch a full seige on the front. Chris, you and me will sneak to the back" Truth ordered.

"As the Mistress requires" Bane and Sevrus gave a short salute before leading the undead to start the seige. Zachary glared at Truth before leading his undead to follow Sevrus.

"I don't think he likes you much" Chris laughed as he rode past Truth.

"Shieldmaidens on me, Chris take the lead" Truth ignored his joke as she readied to assualt and unknown survivors base. Chris frowned at the serious side of Truth before whistling loudly driving his knights forward with the shieldmaidens following behind. Taking a wide turn the knights worked their way around Wallie's World keeping out of sight.

"Dismount here" Chris spoke just loud enough for the knights around him to hear. Dismounting in a parking garage a few blocks away from the rear of their target.

"We do this as quietly and quickly as possible" Chris spoke before breaking out into a jog while keeping low. Jogging for a few minutes the loading dock comes into view as the sounds of battle can be heard from the front of the building.

"A.J break the door, everyone else prepare to charge in" Chris gave his orders. A.J ran towards a loading bay as his hammers trembled slightly before smashing the rolling door. As hammers met steel a small explosion sounded as the door exploded showing a now broken barricade and a small group of dazed Raiders.

"CHARRGE" Chris shouted and charged forward holding his shield infront of him as he smashed into the first Raider nearby. His shield connected with a sickening chrunch as the Raider was flung back as he vomited blood.

"They've broken through the rear" Raiders yelled in panic while trying to defend against Chris rampaging with his mace. More and more knight pushed through the hole securing the receiving bay and fortified for a counterattack. Truth made her way to Chris who was in the middle of capturing what was left of the Raiders in the bay.

"Do we really need prisoners" Truth asked.

"They are just following orders too Truth". Chris rebuked as he tied the last raider.

"KILL THE INVADERS" A loud roar sounded before a large man with a halberd crashed into the defending knights.

"Men" Truth whispered as she charged the bulky man who was blocked by the knights. Wings of light appeared on Truth's back as she propelled herself forward like a bullet her spear trained on the mans chest as he paled in fright. An crunching nosie sounded a two large tower shields appered blocking Truths spear. Bounding backwards Truth held her spear defensively as a short stocky man in full plate appeared holding massive tower shields.

"Shight missy you hit like a bus" The man laughed playfully as he cracked his shoulders.
