1900 hours
Vainlord's Hill,Vainlord,Eustrophia.

At the top of Vainlord's Hill, a large bunker stand strong. The wall is 3 meter high,3 meters thick with each 1 meter layer are made of concrete,iron and obsidian. The bunker was built to withstand and repels attack from the neighboring country,Frimwell, a wealthy country,infact it's the wealthiest country in land of Summoners. Even though with such flawless appearance, it can't hide the corruption of the Kingdom at the inside. Rape,high taxes,high life cost, robbery, mafias, drugs and other crimes rated from major to minor are scattered across the streets of Frimwell. There's no exception for it's King and Queen who is thirst for power. With such greed in their heart, in the early year of 2070 they started to invade other smaller kingdom around it except for Eustrophia.

Bullets flew across the fields hitting the ground and bodies. Mortar and Howitzers fires, exploding the earth as it makes contact with it turning the green field into grey. The fight between the soldiers of Frimwell and Eustrophia raging louder and louder as time goes by. The sun slowly disappears after seeing the cruel war,giving the moon chance to witness it's cruelty. The Eustrophia soldiers are slowly decreasing and pushed back to the bunker until they were outnumbered 40:1. But, even though they knew they will die,they still fighting on with a rifle and fate in their hands. Brothers, Fathers, Sons, Uncles, and Grandfathers fall one by one in the field. With a miracle, they manage to push back the Frimwellich armies.

Looking at the situation suddenly flipped against their side, the commanders of Frimwell army decided to launch an all out attack using Bromine gas and Chlorine gas.

At the field, Frimwell started to retreat as the Eustrophia soldiers starts to celebrate. Little that they knew, it's a sign of endless suffering. In 2130 hours, when the Eustrophia soldiers are gathering and looting the remains of their comrades and enemies, suddenly, a low hanging fog starts to spread across the field. At first,they thought it was only a normal fog but, their noses started to feel a sharp pain and they start to coughing out blood. All of them tries to retreat to the bunker but most of them fall down with their comrades. Soon,the field is filled with poisonous gas. Soldiers who actually arrived at the bunker fate fallen as they saw the bunker already filled with the hellish gas,to their surprise, the enemy had launched containers filled with the gass. Even with covering their faces with clothes they slowly falls down one by one until no one left standing, leaving the Great Stronghold defenseless.

After witnessing such cruelty happened to their victims, the Frimwellich soldiers laughed as hard as they can while putting in their gas masks and ready to conquer the bunker with their laugher echoes out of the forest. After witnessing such cruelty, the moon starts to cover it self with the night clouds, leaving the field into darkness. As the Frimwellich soldiers marches across the field, the burn the corpses of their fallen brothers and enemies with fire from their flamethrowers with a smile on their faces.

Suddenly,

A pair of hand lunches towards a Frimwellich soldier who have a flamethrower and it killed the Frimwellich soldier by ripping both his eyes out of it sockets and blast the flamethrower in it. The corpse of the fallen soldier were rapidly engoulf by fire with not resistance. The shocked Frimwellich soldiers were standing still and confused for what happened.

As the the moon starts to reveal herself, the field were lighten up by it's light, bright enough to reveal the mysterious black figure. Their smile on their faces started to turn upside down and their eyes turns to white as they saw the black figure is actually the fallen Eustrophia soldier with his mouth dripping with blood and slowly approaching them. With fear, they shot the revived Eustrophia soldier. After, emptying their rifle's magazine they turn around towards the field just to see the rise of the already dead corpses. Some of them starts to shoot the Frimwellich soldiers while spitting out blood and pieces of their lungs. With fear, they charge towards the army of deceased just to meet rains of bullets from machine guns at the bunker and trenches. Bodies slowly pilling up and, bits and pieces of body where fly in the air with organs as hand grenades thrown from the Frimwellich Soldiers towards the Eustrophia Soldiers. Even so, the rain of bullets didn't stop. They tried to fight them with their flamethrowers but adding more fears to their already cowarded hearts, the Eustrophia still keep marching while on fire.

"It was like a living hell,we thought they died but it's just like a living hell where it's The Attack Of The Dead Men...."

The fight lengthen until 0100 hours. The moon witness everything from the start till the end. The fleeing Frimwellich soldiers were shot one by one until no one survived. While at the Frimwell trenches, where the Frimwellich Commanders and higher ups are hiding,a Eustrophia battalion who disappears during the attack of the field are infiltrating the trenches and kill everyone in it, including the coward Commanders and Higher Ups. They slip through trenches like ghosts. The last one died with a bullet to the head, it marks the end of the great fight,war between the one who fight for what's behind him and the one who fight for the greed of himself.

It is 0600 hours,5 hours after the great struggle. Survivors of the war were saved by other soldiers from Rioundphill-who have allies with Eustrophia-who was just arrived late. Better late then never, no Frimwell soldiers were alive. Fallen allied were buried in the center of the Kingdom of Eustrophia where the House of Minds stand strong. Even though with sadness stored in their heart, they smiled and cheered for the fallen and the survivors and thanking them for such a great sacrifice. The citizens of Eustrophia smiled not because of disrespect,but,they smiled as a sign of the scarified lives are not in vain, the will of the fallen who want everyone live happily and peacefully. Early 2071 the United Nation between Eustrophia, Rioundphill, Forckmill and Switchland launched an all out attack, demolishing the used to called "Great Frimwell", destroying the landmarks and saving the innocence who has been the victim of this cruel kingdom. All what's left is an archway of the fallen Frimwell at the front of Vainlord's Fields where the fight who changes the tides of war and scarified a lot of lives. It is now just a history that will be learned by next generation as a lesson. He who doesn't learn from the history will repeat it himself.

"War never changes,but it changes people."

-End.
