Damn bastards thought they could just sally out while everyone slept, but alas, the brigade brought big guns to their fight

also Ashley and her fireteam were just across the Tyr river, so we met up and they came to our help, ended up finding out a few hours later castle Hago got finally invaded and the stationed troops were captured or dead, i managed to kill a few even tho i only had 8 bullets for my choke-revolver and my sword Arita

most of them died like cowards, granade explosions and artillery made quick deal of the castle, since the besiegers had set up also an artillery piece across the Tyr river, which the Canine battalion made use of it, even tho they are mostly used for expendable battle charges, now i''m currently stationed at Saint Joshua's 18-2 trench at the frontlines, Ashley and the other canines are going to charge with us, i hope she makes it out, we could hear the moans of undead, mechanoids and chants of the enemy soldiers, i would be lying if i said we arent scared, their artillery is cutting us down closer and closer and it seems like the officers want to do a early charge with me in it as the spear head, while yes i managed to find powder weapons with Matvei back in Hago, it wasnt enough for all the battalions, a lot of us are going to use our knives, farm tools and swords, and that wouldnt be different for me, they were nice enough to give me a Ari-7 rifle, since i'll be leading the 1st squadron of charge, togheder with the canine battalion and pioneers, we are probably going to die if we dont take care

life in this place sucks, but it wouldn't be any different back home, pike and shot, mounted knights, everything here kinda feels alike but alien in a way, they dont ride horses very often but prefer zebras, the mechanoids are like our wierdgangers in terms of them just being almost mindless, the only difference is that they are more deadly and go in formation with weapons, Artillery also seems more effective, i cant really tell how it works but surely its not swab bucket and worm, they just shove a big bullet in and kaboom, it goes, and then its ready for another one...

But man oh man, i do miss Gloot and my other friends back there, i wonder how they are doing? i wonder if Ariette is still around in this period, but i haven't really bothered to ask

As i'm typing this i just saw 5 guys screaming at the officer saying its suicide... well go figure dumbass, we are in a penal battalion, we are expendable also, they are getting calmer, but ones crying, i mean...while yes we are in a penal battalion, many of us are only here because they couldn't afford to pay rent or just were aganist the old government rules of Vrasiat, which we are currently fighting... go figure i guess, i never really understood their politics, afterall i literally woke up in the middle of a battlefield after i laid down back home, i still remember on how we actually just fought a siege, just like yesterday, but you know... they didn't had any of these modern weapons and stuff, it was purely sword and spears... and bows, not much different but surely was less confusing, at least for me, felt a bit harder than what we do now, i was with the Black company after the battle, i ordered them, we were soldiers of fortune and we were good at it - shit, an artillery shell just hit the trench, i think it almost hit Yuva, i'm not going to bother checking, or else they will think i'm deserting, but i can hear the screams, oh fuck, the officer its saying its time, if i manage to survive this i'll let you guys know, Matvei is reading up our weapons and flag, bye guys
