548 Stumbling Upon an Important Discovery

Honoria stood side by side with her crew of privateers and the Austrian Marines who had secured the beachhead, as well as the campsite. Behind the makeshift defenses, a group of rifles, with bayonets attached, pointed in the fog's direction, where they knew the enemy waited. 

The Byzantine Princess gazed over at the crew, who handled one of the few Schmidt guns they had brought with them on this journey and nodded her head silently. This was the signal to open fire. While she had initially wanted to conserve ammo as much as possible, Honoria did not expect for her crew to be attacked so soon after landing, and under such debilitating circumstances.
