The ground was rumbling as the trees were shaking. Ferdinand felt that something much worse was about to come. The shriek from earlier gave Ferdinand and his subordinates deeply penetrated their hearts and minds. They are only two abled bodied men and one severely injured. What could they possibly do at a time like this? Ferdinand thought about it with difficulty. Then, at the right time at the exact moment, he remembered that he still had the summoning card he received earlier from the destiny quest. Ferdinand didn't give it a second thought and brought out the summoning card from his spatial inventory. After that, he summoned his soldiers and this time he needs men and so he chose the riflemen squad.
Almost immediately, eight men with complete equipment materializes in front of Ferdinand and his subordinates. He chose a spot where there isn't much crossfire and was not being attacked by the walkers to summon the soldiers. While the men were materializing, he was providing covering fire for them.

"At the ready!" said by an unknown man
"Fire!" said by an unknown man
Almost immediately after the command was given, they fired a volley of musket balls from the front. A man was standing behind the line of soldiers. Shortly after, the order to switch was ordered and so the man stepped forward and kneeled to the ground, and when the order to fire was given. He too shot alongside the other men in unison and so a volley of musket ball was fired once again.
"At the ready!" said by an unknown man
"Fire!" said by an unknown man
This went on repeatedly for the past few minutes and the man, who was once again at the back of the line, was visibly getting tired. Until the officer gave the most dreaded command.
"Bayonets!" said by the unknown officer
The line infantry then fixed their bayonets and prepared to charge at the enemy.
"Charge!" said by the unknown officer
The man waited for the front line to charge. When the front line moved, he too moved alongside his fellow men with his bayonet transfixed at the top. They were charging with their bayonets at the front of their musket gun at the front.
Minutes had passed, and they were near at the front of the enemy when suddenly they heard a familiar command
"Feuer!"
Suddenly, a flash of smoke came before them, along with a volley of musket balls that ripped them to shreds. The man survived, but the men before him took the brunt of the volley. So they fell to the ground lifeless. Now the man is a foremost front as he was charging at the enemy. Unfortunately. lady luck wasn't on their side as their opposing enemy also bayonet charge at them.
The fight was brutal as men were stabbing each other to the death, some even were using stones as they smash their enemies on the face. Hatred and anger were in all-time high on the battlefield.
The man charged the first enemy he saw. The enemy was panicking as he attempted to fix his stance to fight the man. Unfortunately, the man was faster than him and so he was stabbed in the heart by the man. After killing the enemy, the man was struggling to remove his bayonet stuck in the heart of his enemy.
On the eve of time, he glanced at the side and saw that another enemy was charging before him. So he exerted all his strength to pull out the bayonet that was stuck in the enemy's heart. To which he successfully did so and so he took a stance to parry the attack of the enemy.
When the enemy was going to push the bayonet, he charged at the man with full strength. The man took side step which he didn't foresee because of the heat of the battle. The man uses the buttocks of the musket to slam it to the head of the enemy and so he did. The enemy was then knocked to the ground. The man took this advantage by slamming down the front of the bayonet directly to the stomach of the enemy.
"Argh! Please don't kill me! I have a daughter and a wife! What will they do if I die? I don't want them to sell their bodies just to earn a living! I was just conscripted here. They forced me to fight! I am just a humble farmer in the countryside!"
The enemy pleaded for his life. Unfortunately, the bayonet was already firmly stuck in his stomach. It was just a dead man's wishful thinking. The man closed his eyes and pulled out the bayonet, and stabbed the enemy again, but this time directly to his heart. The enemy spat out a mouthful of blood as the wound from his stomach started gushing out with blood.
After the man pulled the bayonet from the heart of the enemy. He looked at the eyes of the enemy and saw that it was filled with lifelessness. The man was trying his hard to not be overcome with sympathy. After all, this is a battlefield. Mercy on the battlefield will only lead to death and sloth will lead to degeneracy. That's what he believed after being over in many battles where he had to risk his life.
While he was brooding, he didn't notice that a bayonet was already firmly stuck behind him. He was stabbed to the death by another enemy. Looks like he'll need to learn not to daydream while in battle. Unfortunately, that's going to be for another lifetime. He lay on the ground lifeless whilst the dead eyes of the enemy he just killed were staring right in front of him. They were making eye to eye contact until the death of the man.
-----
The man woke up burning alongside other people. He was being repeatedly being burned whilst being regenerated. That's the time when an icy breeze suddenly came and a woman with a beautiful and nice proportionated body descended onto them. The chilly feeling comforted them and relief, and so they gathered near the woman.
"Sinners! I am giving you a chance to save yourself from years of damnation! Follow the orders of a man. Whatever he orders you to do, you will have to follow it. They gave this man the opportunity to save a dying world. If you disobeyed his orders after you die, you'll be sent for eternal damnation! Now sinners, what is your choice?"
The man thought real hard. He was used to fighting, and so he hoped that this'll fit him as for whatever the man followed him, that is up to lady luck. So he stepped forward.
"I'll take up this chance, my lady!"
The woman delighted as she observes the soul of the man. As for the other people they didn't even care as they don't want to suffer an even more of a hell, they'd just rather burn and ascend to the reincarnation process.
The woman then chanted a few words to which she and the man disappeared along with the chilly breeze that the woman was giving off.
