Soul Eater

With reckless actions, they had their baptism of fire in front of the enemy platoon desperate to survive another day.

The camps had succumbed to the empire before dawn. They regrouped the Sodifrim soldiers into two groups and took them by buses to the border to invade the capital, and the wounded and sick were put on boats to take them to the ships.

The imperial conquest plan would push the prisoners of war to face an overwhelming reality, witnessing the abominable nature of the leader of an unscrupulous and tyrannical nation, whom they obeyed out of unfounded fears. The empire had to remove the cancer that posed a threat to their plans so, who better than the citizens themselves to eliminate their king.

Tanks watched from the shore of the Hellfish River at the access bridges to the apparently silent and dead city. It was less than an hour before dawn and everything was ready in case it was necessary to exchange shots from a distance.

A squad of 8 soldiers disguised in enemy uniforms, were designated to enter the capital without being suspected as a distraction. Those in charge of delivering the commandos observed the successful entry with binoculars and with tactical signals, they gave the orders to communicate between platoons.

In themselves, those who were loaned as baits, could end up dead in case the enemy realized that they were not citizens. But to their comrades, they were famous for being brilliant under pressure and arrogant to the point of insubordination, the suicide squad "Black Sheep", who after that day would be recognized for their courage and bravery.

When they finished rushing across the central bridge, they were greeted by the guards guarding the gates who, surprised by the surprise presence of the soldiers, pointed their carbines at them.

-Please don't shoot us! - Freyr raised his hands and made subtle signals

-What are you doing here? Who authorized them to leave the camp? -The policeman doubted what he saw while five other policemen approached

-Sir, please let us pass ... don't leave us here or they will kill us! - Sunday pleaded to convince them

-Those guys killed everyone in the camp ... I beg you, we don't want to die! - Major Eugene Van Houten threw himself in the snow to ask for help

The squad begged to enter claiming to be survivors of an unspeakable massacre. Their faces were that of someone who had just seen horror. The police, between confusion and fear over the destruction of the camps, hastened to send lookouts to corroborate the fact.

The Black Sheep instead, were entered but kept their hands up to send the signal. The police believed that they were still scared and ordered them to lower their arms.

-Sir, they've already entered. We will proceed with the next step- Tiziano indicated that they should move away from the bridges

The men moved quickly back to their formation after setting up the detonators and loudspeakers. At the same time not far out to sea.

-Captain Oxum, the emperor has arrived, bring the prisoners down to greet him and take part in the show- Admiral Riatus Bane, the son of the pirate king, continued to see the successful infiltration with the binoculars

Each one played their part and when the last chime at 6am was struck, the "Song of the Siren" plan began.

Thunderous explosions simultaneously collapsed all the bridges and caused avalanches that closed all escape routes, besieging the country in such a way that it caught anyone in the vicinity by surprise and ended up buried them under the snow.

A female scream mixed with the explosions rang out, causing resentment in the policemen at the door. The entire sleeping country woke up with the trembling and crying of suffering of what seemed like a woman, but as the minutes passed, it turned into something more terrifying.

Neighboring countries had felt the explosions but mistook them for avalanches caused by the snowstorm and ruled out finding out more.

Meanwhile, the citizens of Sodifrim came out of their homes and looked up at the sky trying to locate the source of such an eerie cry that was getting closer and closer. The policemen, on the other hand, were killed from behind and the "Black Sheep" took their places.

Sunday had to fulfill her mission and went to the palace to search for her prey. Taking advantage of the fact that people ran towards the door in search of answers from their security agents and when they saw that the bridge no longer existed, they crowded around in fear, leaving the castle area.

The guards, seeing her standing in the driveway under the falling snow, were shocked when she pulled out a rifle and pointed it at them.

-Damn stupid! What are you doing pointing us? -

-Are you willing to die for the scum of the royal family or... to be free like your brothers? -

The question puzzled them and they responded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

-The royal family is our responsibility and you know that very well ...- the three guards fell to the ground with shots to the head

Those who were still standing aimed at her to kill her but froze when they saw her take off her helmet and find a girl with the most twisted and wicked smile they have ever seen in their life. Their instincts told them that if they confronted her it would be a fatal mistake and as if it were a possession, they lowered their weapons.

-Very well! Now if you were so obedient ... hahaha- with her thumb she pointed to a place behind her back and the surviving guards began to run in terror towards the entrance to the city

A shower of blood stained the floors and walls of the palace. The question was repeated and those who asked for mercy fled miraculously and those who were still determined to protect the royal family, ended up dead.

With gunshots and cries for help, Sunday arrived in front of the queen's room that was carrying her children and that she was being guarded by two maidens.

The door opened slowly and a platinum-haired girl in bloodstained clothing smiled at them.

-The Sodifrim killed your people and sold them as slaves and then treated them worse than animals. Today will you be free or ... will you accompany them to hell like the rest? What do you think about that? -

Politely and showing her teeth, she stepped out of the way and pointed to the door for the maids to choose their fate. The women hesitated between accepting the offer or protecting their madam. Nodding they began to run but one of them was stopped by her arm and the queen fit her nails angrily.

-Your obligation is to protect us! Where do you intend to flee? After all I did for you, you ungrateful bastards! - The maiden writhed in pain and tried to shake off her violent grip.

* Plist *

-Ahhh! -

A direct shot to the queen's leg caused the maiden to break free to leave with the help of her partner. The princes, seeing her mother screaming at her, rose to attack Sunday, but did not get far when two shots went through their heads.

-NO! Damn son of a bitch! -

-Nah nah nah nah .... hehehe- Sunday got close enough to face her

-What are you? - The queen crawled on the floor but the bed limited her path

-I am the one who has come to judge the corrupted- Sunday bent her knees to be level with the queen and grabbed her face with her hand applying force to her jaw

-...- the commotion was such that she trembled like a leaf in the wind

-Tell me sinner, where is your king and crown prince hiding? ... oh, you refuse to speak. In that case I will look for them and erase them from this world along with the lineage of both hahaha-

The queen could not believe that such a fearsome and ruthless being existed. As her heart was pierced with a knife, she could visualize a black and deformed creature whose blood red eyes devoured her soul and then cut off her head.

On the side of her companions, the demand for an explanation and the lack of it, confused more and put the population on the nerves until they became violent.

-What happened to the bridge? Where does that horrible sound come from?! -

Shots into the air brought them to their senses and pushed them out of the way.

A show that for those who did not know how the empire used to win the hearts of the people would end up bringing Sodifrim to his knees before noon.
