Outside the Triangular City, thousands of troops fully armored and geared up were surrounding the city.
They blocked all the exit points, making sure there will be no escape route for anyone within the city.
As they surrounded the city, they begun to line up neatly in formation as they prepared to launch an attack.
The marching army stopped when they were exactly 20 kilometers away from the Triangular City and begun mounting their Heavy Artillery and Tank cannons.
The soldiers in the front lined up in a formation and pointed their guns towards the soldiers who had set a blockade outside the city.
The soldiers were dressed in black uniforms with a silver black plate covering their chest as they held their guns.
They also had strange looking cannons which seemed to have been mounted on mechanical moving spiders.
This was the army of Archman Group, sent to defend the northern part of the city.
The soldiers couldn't help but grip tightly onto their guns as they saw the army of the great nations prepare to attack them.
They could see the front row of the enemy soldiers equipment with grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, they couldn't help but wonder if they could match their opponents fire power.
The majority of Archman Group heavy artillery and weapons were taken by their main force fighting on the borders, they on the other hand weren't left with much but only two moveable heavy cannons.
Phil who was currently commanding the northern defense unit could feel the unrest and low morale among his men, he couldn't blame them to be honest.
It was actually a surprise to see that this soldiers were willing to fight for Archman Group when the odds were heavily against them.
"I know most of you here are scared! Some probably want to drop their guns and run as far away as possible from here! Some are even wondering what they are still doing here! While some are asking yourselves whether it's worth it to die for Archman Group!" Commander Phill suddenly said gathering the attention of all his men.
"To be honest with you boys, I don't really care about what happens to Gold Country, this country can rot to hell and I still wouldn't give a damn!
I know some of you think the same as me, and I understand it! To be honest with you guys the only reason I'm still here it's not because of the Gold country, the reason I'm ready to lay my life down on this ground it's because of Archman Group!
Archman Group it's the only thing worthy of fighting and dying for in this shitty country!" Admiral Phill words struck deep into the heart's of the men!
Majority of you boys here are just like me! We all grew up hoping to make a change in this shitty country and world, we all wanted to make our homeland great and we were willing to die for it, but just like me you all, we came to the painful reality of how shitty this country was,
The reality that this country was being ruled by people who couldn't care less about any of us and our suffering, all that mattered to them was their stomachs!''
The entire crowd couldn't help but remember what the Gold Country was before Archman Group took over.
Gold Country was a corrupt country which was ruled by the upper class families, everything within the country was more or less the property of the upper class.
Though it was a country of the people, the people will and well be in rarely mattered. One could only get a decent job only if they were related to the upper class families, and even if you did get the job you would remain at the bottom your entire life.
The only fully functioning city in the Gold Country with all amenities and luxuries was only the capital, the rest of the regions were not even catered for with basic amenities, all the resources of the country were squandered on useless projects and infrastructures.
A lot of the soldiers here at a point in time wanted to make a difference, but they soon discovered there was nothing they could do.
From the politicians to local officials, everyone was an underling of this aristocratic families fighting among themselves only to enrich their own pockets.
Majority of the soldiers here had no future, it was either they served the upper families or lived miserable life's, those who were brave enough left the country seeking for new opportunities.
They too had accepted their fate until the emergence and rise of Archman Group.
Archman Group offered them an opportunity to change their fate and that of their country and since then, they've done nothing but change the fate of their dying country.
Previously, the military was only a job reserved for the offsprings of high class families, people like them had no opportunity of ever getting into the military.
Archman Group on the other hand offered them an opportunity to serve their country and make a difference.
"It's been a long ride since we took charge of this shitty country and look where we have arrived! Thanks to us, our kids and our grandchildren will never know how much of a dump and hopeless place this country was, because of us the future generation will all have an opportunity to chase and follow their dreams!
But all this opportunities will crumble if Archman Group falls here today! There'll be no future for us or our descendants, today we must fight not just to survive but we must fight for a better future for our descendants!
The Great Nations are afraid of what our country will achieve if Archman Group continues to develop, they fear our future and that's why they've sent a 50,000 strong army to try and destroy us!
''Are we going to watch all our hard work end here!? Are we gonna watch our hope and hope of our future generation all crumble here?!" Admiral Phil shouted at his men who begun to get a grip of their selves.
The Admiral was right, Archman Group had brought their country so far from what it was a decade ago.
Within a decade, the country which was once controlled by the upper class families had now become a country genuinely controlled by a government which cared for the people.
Not only that, but they've become powerful enough for the Great Nations to see them as a threat. If a decade ago someone had told them that a day will come where all the great nations will join forces just to fight against them, they would have laughed their ass off!
"All of you have been trained for situations like this, what's there to fear!? The only people who should be trembling are the invaders that dare to step on our land and invade our territory! When have we ever backed off a fight?!'' Commander Phill asked with a loud voice.
Archman forces had never backed out of a fight no matter how unfavorable the situation was, they had even entered terrorist fortresses when they had three time less the amount of soldiers the terrorist had, but never once had they backed down.
Even though they were not facing criminals and terrorists but well trained soldiers, so what! This soldiers haven't been through half the things they've had to endure to call themselves the special forces of Archman Group.
Around this time, the enemy troops had already prepared themselves to begin their first assault, they had every ground weapons at their disposal.
The only thing missing was air support, which they honestly didn't need. They far outnumbered the Archman forces and were better equipped with their siege weapons.
The only heavy artillery they could see on the enemy side was a some strange cannons mounted on a spider looking moving robot or whatever that was,
"When we begin our assault concentrate the artillery on that ugly looking cannons!" General Bridge who was the commander of the Super Countries Vanguard Force ordered.
"General Bridge, it's unwise for you to gather all our troops to attack the northern entrance alone, we should spread out and attack the enemy on all fronts instead of leaving a few men to get the job done!''
Out of the 50,000 soldiers that surrounded the Triangular City, 40,000 of them were now stationed at the northern entrance! With 5,000 of them stationed at the other remaining entrances.
The other generals from the other Super Countries believed in equally spreading their forces to attack all the entrances.
With how they were spread now, the Archman forces at the other entrances will have it easy defending against their detached forces!
"The enemy is trying to spread as thin, If we go by their plan then this battle will be dragged for far longer than it should!
I on the other hands do not plan to drag this battle for too long, it's currently noon by sunset I hope to capture the Triangular City.
You don't have to worry about our other forces at the other entrances, we will use all our power to break through the northern entrance as fast as we can, by doing so we'll attack the other forces from behind and end this in a single swoop!" General Bridge explained.
...
Archman Group, Crystal Citadel!
The atmosphere in the mission control room was heavy, but after Admiral Phill words, they all seemed to be taken over by renewed vigor.
Admiral Phill was right! Archman Group had given them the life they had today, without Archman Group only God knows where they'll be so for this reason, Archman Group couldn't fall now!
But then they noticed, that Luke wasn't in the mission control HQ
But before they could even find his whereabouts, his voice travelled across the entire city.
A few minutes ago, Luke had left the mission control HQ after Admiral Phill started giving his speech, Luke couldn't help but smile as he heard the words the Admiral spoke from his heart!
He was glad that, the organization he created could change the fate of a country, he was glad that his selfish development actually had a positive impact on the people of this country, he had given them something to die for.
That wasn't so bad at all!
Luke walked into his office and sat on his desk,
"Transmit by voice across the city!" Luke ordered the computer.
"Voice transmission established!"
"People of the Triangular City, If you are hearing my voice now then it's to assure you that no harm will come to anyone within this fortress of a city.
I'm thankful to you all for putting your trust in me and choosing to stay and fight my war!'' This line was addressed to the soldiers fighting on the frontline.
"I thank you for believing in me, but none of you have to die! At least not today!" Everyone who heard Luke was confused.
This was war, how sure was he that he could protect them all?
Meanwhile in Luke's office
"Begin operation turtle dome!'' Luke ordered as he placed his hand on his work desk. He didn't need to give any long emotional speech since their lives weren't in any danger like the people thought.
A Small pin, slightly pierced his hand drawing out a droplet of blood on the table which begun to scan!"
"Authentication confirmed!" Do you want to activate the Triangular Battle Fortress?" The computer asked.
"Yes! Activate the Battle Fortress!"
