Army of the Damned

VOLUME 3 Chapter 6

The armored jumbo jet slowly descends from the clouds, revealing a massive city. Great concrete walls around its outer rim and a massive four lane highway that leads to the outside. The bustling metropolis was as alive as any modern city back on Earth. Helicopters could be seen from above, circling around the skyscrapers and freight trains going in and out of its huge walls and industrial sector.

"Boss..."

"It's only been three years and look at that..."

"Heh, you Eldwood boys liking it? That's our magnum opus. Woodstock."

The snarky Men of the Woods Guild General in his green Western uniform proudly opens his palms at the sight of their capital. In its full glory.

"Yeah, it's crazy to think it's grown this much. I still remember when half the city was still medieval villages."

"That's all gone now. It's a huge city with a Metroline and freight line. We have city buses, ambulances and hospitals that provide blood for vampire or demon players."

"How? What logistics are you guys running to be able to upkeep this insanity?"

"Hooboy, if you only know the bureaucracy that's underneath it all. As they say, it's all glory to the soldiers on the frontlines. But it would all be for nothing if it weren't for the boys driving the trucks and printing the papers!"

The massive UN building could be seen from the skies, flying the numerous guild flags outside its doors, the Boeing 747-8i slowly turns and aligns itself to land.

"How did you guys even build a Boeing? How?"

"We have boys from the Microsoft Simulators help with it. It's actually made out of lighter Trialloy which we only used on the Space Elevator."

"Jesus, just how much time do you people have? And Trialloy? How? It's not as malleable as Bialloy."

"Ohhh boy, we've been busy. Getting teleported here just made us busier."

A gigantic four runway airport awaits them below, civilian aircraft are parked on the sides and military vehicles and aircraft patrol the tarmac and the surroundings as jet black vehicles roll through the gate as soldiers are scattered everywhere, both player and skeleton.

As the aircraft tilted its nose up and began its Final Approach, Paul could see on the left of the airport, where the open Sea lies a massive facility which caught his attention. He wanted to stand up and move to the left of the plane but as it was landing and the seatbelt sign was on. He waited till the aircraft had safely landed. After taxiing and stopping, the ladder truck quickly came and the doors opened. Without hesitation, he exits the aircraft. He looked back and could see the strange building on the Sea.

"Ah, General. I see our uncompleted Space Elevator Project has caught your eye."

The voice was that of an old man, curious. He looks at his back and is met with the UN General Secretary himself. With graying hair and a well-ironed suit flying with a pin of the United League of Modernized Guilds on his left collar.

"You guys really went with it?!"

"Yes, we were bored and the Architecture Guild was making extremely elaborate and beautiful Medieval cities and Aqueducts. It's only natural we wanted to up them, we also heard they were planning on building a Tower of Babel. The Men of the Woods has a lot of resources, way more than they have used for."

"But what about the Science of this all? Like, you need that thing pointed at the North Pole!"

"My man, we have Magic. Why let the confines of real life Science hold your imagination? Its base is made out of Trialloy, the grinding we had to do to attain the required amount of Adamantium has been a great feat."
