The squad quickly made their way to the top of the building. Twilight and Trixie came along to but soon regretted this decision when they got to the scene. The snipers nest was completely destroyed and the sniper was almost in halve. Trixie threw up at the sight one of the men the one who had cut up the wounded soldier a day before came up to the person and whispered something in Russian. Then the poor doomed soldier spoke, "Ne plach' obo mne. YA sobirayus' na nebesa. Uvidimsya pozzhe brata."

And with that the soldier silently drifted into his eternal slumber. The person above him started sobbing then he started shooting his rifle to the sky as he yelled, "THOSE BASTARDS I"LL KILL THEM ALL! YOU HERE ME HITLER IM COMING FOR YOU!!!!!"

Twilight and Trixie looked in sadness at the soldier they looked to the sargent for answers and as if they had telepathy he spoke, "That sniper was Demitri's brother they joined the army together. This is what war does twilight this is war. Why I am telling you this is because the horseman of war always gets to everybody. I want you to be prepared for whatever may happen during your time here im sorry your here no one deserves to be here especially not you and your love." But as he said that a small cylinder thing on the side of his uniform made noise he put it up to his ear and had a conversation in Russian with the person on the other end.

Then after about 2 minuets the one called Demitri calmed down and Klonoski got off the device and announced loud enough for the soldiers in the trench could hear. "Men we are pulling back to the vehicle depot. It turns out theirs been a change in tactics. Winter has worn the Nazis down we're pushing into Germany. ITS TIME FOR REVENGE!!!" All of the squad yelled in joy they would end the tyranny of Hitler with this invasion. Twilight and Trixie got small smiles as well just from looking at the joy and happiness on their faces.

2 Hours later...

The vehicle depot was full of trucks tanks and troops. Twilight and Trixie were eyed by other soldiers at first. But it ended quickly when they saw who escorted them apparently the sargent had discussed the situation with the commander and they were cool......for now. They were loaded up into a truck along with the squad and a few other soldiers.

As they were waiting to depart Trixie looked at the arms of all the soldiers. They all had strange symbols and markings but the strangest was Klonoski's. He had a balance, a scythe, a skull and a sword all next to each other and on his other arm it said.Chetyre vsadnika. Then Trixie couldn't help herself, "What do those words and symbols mean?"

The sargent chuckled and responded, "It has something to do with my religion. I believe that their are two beings that run the universe. One of them being someone called god, one named the devil. While I do not worship one I follow the rules of the four horseman. The sword is war, the scythe is death, the balance is poverty and the skull is plague. These are the trials of life and I follow them."

Then the truck lurched as they moved out. The siege was over it was time to go on the offensive Finally.
