"The new rules of the Ranger Corps are: Drink rum, fight dirty, and fuck the rules."
— Slavonia Sixth Army Ranger Regiment Master Sergeant Cain (Källës) Hayha

Upon hearing the the news of the 95,000 imperial troops who retreated away from the enemy. Zorzal was furious and ordered the 95,000 troops to march back to the Dalmus River to kill the the otherworlders. The 95,000 troops then march back to where Dalmus River and began to charge FNA lines.

A Gunner spoke up seeing them, "They came back? These Saderans are the bravest men I have ever met or the dumbest. It takes a lot of guts to march straight to a machine gun fireline."

Artillery fired shell after shell onto the masses of men killing dozens in one fell swoop, yet they still came.

For every 1 soldier who fell to artillery, 10 more take his place. Snipers with Barrett M82A3 .50BMG rifle begin to take shots at the enemy officers. Many imperial troops saw their officers head just blow up as the .50cal bullet tore them apart. Some soldiers even began to turn back, fearing their fate.

One Slavonian soldier yelled, "Fuck the Romans and fuck their whores!"

When the 800m is reached  assault rifles, LMGs, M2 Browning machine guns, M3 laser machine guns, and gauss rifles opened in a whirlwind of death. The storm of lead and laser immediately turn the frontline troops of the Saderan army into nothing but red misty ash or swiss cheese. Many saderan soldiers can be seen screaming in pain only to be shot or hit by a artillery shell ending their suffering.

Illustrados CH-47 Chinooks take off from Dalmus hill and commit mini nuke runs at the enemy killing thousands more as the mini nuke fell by the dozens onto imperial troops. The last thing the Saderan troops saw who is caught in the mini nuke run is the light of a newborn star.

Laser machine guns turn men to ash by the dozens. If not, but the hundreds causing the imperial army to lose morale.

Joo who is shooting her laser rifle at the enemy spoke, "Keep it up boys and girls! Remember, don't let them cross the river!"

A Brotherhood of Steel soldier replied, "I don't think they can cross the river! Look at the amount of ordnance we are currently throwing at them!"

A Texas Ranger marine shouted, "Don't be complacent just because we have superior weaponry! Doesn't mean we are invincible!"

"Reloading!" Joo shouted as she reloaded her MA19 laser rifle. She look at the ground and all she can see are used Microfusion cell batteries littering her position. She then thought each of these batteries must have at least killed at least one imperial soldier she then felt for sorry but that thought was quickly brushed away as she remembered this is a Empire that practice slavery.

If her young 5 year-old daughter was captured... She and David will burn the Empire to ash.

With renewed vigor she then activated VATS. Time seemed to slow down for her as she then chose her targets and fired her MA19 laser rifle in full auto hitting all her targets in the head killing the imperial troops instantly.

Even with all of this death, they marched forward to their position. Joo spoke up, "Fuck this shit, call in a Mustard gas barrage on these SOBs." Joo then requested a gas barrage.

Immediately she heard the artillery shell containing mustard gas hit the imperial formation. Thousands of troops fell prey to the yellowish toxic gas as their bodies began to melt due to corrosive of the chemicals.

Those who breath in the gas face even more pain as the gas then began to eat their way of their body so painful that it was of a nightmare experience for those affected by the gas to rush forward to Fallout North American positions hoping to be killed by the troops then killed by the gas.

Which FNA did. By bullets, lasers or a coilgun.

The Twisted Hair F-35 Lightning II multi-role fighter jets then begin to zoom towards imperial forces and unleash their payloads of plasma bombs. The scene was immediately changed to a sea of greenish plasma consuming thousands of men instantly.

A Tan Caucasian man who is the Commanding Officer of Slavonian Marine Mobile Infantry Company "Roughnecks" named First Lieutenant Jean Francis Puller cheered at the sight and said, "The imperial Saderan army must be retreating with all these carnages handed to them!"

But out of their fires imperial troops still march forward towards their position, Sixth Slavonian Army Ranger Regiment Master Sergeant Cain (Källës) Hayha said, "Wha? How are they still coming!? We have at least killed thousands of their men yet they are still coming!"

Joo spoke, "Doesn't matter. Put more firepower onto the legions of men that is charging our lines going to call more firebombing and strafing runs."

Four Twisted Hair A-10 Thunderbolt III then came and unleash more plasma bombs on the imperial army killing thousands more but after finishing dropping their payloads of plasma bombs, the attack jet then begin to open up its high-power 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary autocannon the 30×170mm deadly work can be felt immediately as the bullet that is the size bigger than of a beer bottle carved vast swarms of men into nothing but red mist with some some of the ground turn to craters due to explosive rounds of the GAU-8.

The barrage of rotary autocannons continued for another 20 minutes killing tens of thousands the 95,000 troops that charge the Dalmus River is all but killed. The ones who survived are the ones who turned back at the sight of their comrades being reduced to nothing but bloody mist and ashes.

Joo shouted, "Ceasefire! Ceasefire!" She then saw the carnage that has been done.

— Later

After the battle, Joo is at the Enclave command post with husband David reviewing the footage of the battle, she saw the video that one of the Twisted Hair pilots filmed during the battle and she saw the scene was nothing but a sea of fire and dead bodies.

After watching the video, she thought of one thing.

"Fuck."

"Later~" David flirted to his wife.

"Shut up. This is a war." Joo told him.

"I know, babe. I know." He said.

Joo took a deep breath and said, "Welp, time to send the Deathclaws to eat the bodies. Less clean up for the others, more meat for the lizards. They love it."

"True." He said and they headed off.

—Back at the Saderan Palace in Sadera

A messenger then ran towards the throne room where Zorzal resides.

Zorzal saw the messenger, "How did the battle do? Did we managed to win?"

The messenger began to reply, "My lord, I fear-"

Zorzal cut the messenger off, "Good! We've instilled fear into this Fallout North America! The otherworlders of Alnus Hill seemed to be calling them that."

The messenger shook his, "My lord, 95,000 troops you resent to the Dalmus River was completely destroyed."

Zorzal then screamed at the man, "IMPOSSIBLE!!! How dare you say we lost!! I am chosen by the GODs!!!!! I have never lost a single battle in my life!! Guards!! Take this filth of spreading lies to the execution block! Make an example of him."

The guards do as they were told with the messenger crying out begging, "I'm not lying your majesty!! I'm telling the truth—" Only for a guard to cut off his tongue.

Just at this time, another messenger came in, "My lord, I bring you grave news. Rondel has been destroyed."

Zorzal shouted at the poor bastard, "Another one spreading lies! Guards! Take this filth as well."

The messenger begged for mercy only for the guards to chop his head of with a sword. Zorzal growled at this and spoke, "I hereby draft a new rule! Those who spread defeatist ideals or news are to be executed on the spot! And I hereby challenge Fallout North America to a game of cruelty! See who is more cruel than the other."

The scribe then wrote down what Zorzal said and begin to deliver the challenge of who can be more cruel to Fallout North America as Zorzal thinks the only way he save his humiliation under Jan is to challenge Fallout North America to a game of cruelty.

—Meanwhile at Italica the Formal Clan Mansion

Countless Myui and Joshua were eating dinner. But the atmosphere was grim and depressing. The Countess Myui was very depressed after the battle at the Dalmus River. After hearing the report, the news made her sick to her stomach.

The 15 Tribes military is very powerful. She can see her home city and her people being burned and raped and slaughtered like animals the 15 Tribes lose.

The Countess Myui looked over at Joshua and spoke, "Joshua. Have the 15 Tribes or... your Fallout North America during the Third World War ever had to deal with a situation where there are too many enemies?"

Joshua looked at her, "I'm afraid so. Back then, we had to deal with the Chinese Communist Party. A lot of battles we had against them. But we also had to deal with the North Korean Army, the Russian Armed Forces, the Iranians, the Cuban Military, and the Terrorist groups. It wasn't an easy war."

"Out of topic. What would you do if the 15 Tribes lost the war?" Countess Myui asked the 11 year old.

Joshua sighed and replied, "I don't know. I was a toddler at the time."

Myui looked at him and asked, "Joshua, what was it like growing up in the Third World War?"

Joshua then went on to tell the story, "Well, it's not easy. During the beginning, a lot of food shortages, rationing, and martial law was put into place. But after that, we learned how to live with what we had. I remember playing games with my brothers and sisters. One time we played hide and seek. It was really fun. But we had a lot of fun moments during the war. We had to live with the fact that the world around us is falling apart. It's not easy. But it can be done. Just stay strong, that's all I can say. Just stay strong."

Myui sighed, "I hope you're right, Joshua. I hope you're right." She then blushed as she thought up a personal question. "Say... where do you see yourself doing in seven years?"

Joshua pondered on it. By that time he'll be eighteen. And so would Myui. So like his mother... he answered bluntly and honestly, "I don't know. We can get married and have ten kids?"

Myui blushed and her heart began to beat a million miles a minute. "Y-You'd really marry me!?"

"Why not?" He asked her.

She had no answer. All her life, she was told that no boy would ever want her because of her noble status. And here is this Trinidadian-Japanese-American boy who doesn't care about that stuff and loves her for her. She blushed even more and her eyes filled with tears. "T-Thank you, Joshua."

"Don't mention it, Myui." Joshua gave a wide smile showing his razor sharp teeth.

That. Is one thing Myui needs to get used to. Is Joshua's razor sharp teeth.

And he is a bit... tall, for an eleven year old. Being 5'5".

"Joshua..."

"Hmmm?"

"I think... I think I'm falling in love with you." Myui muttered her confession which Joshua didn't hear.

"What did you say, Myui?"

"I-It's nothing."

"Okay."
