Might of the Order Part Two

After some last-minute preparations, the Order made themselves ready and Grief literally walked in front of their army. He said goodbye to his generals who would remain behind and coordinate the offensive unless they were active officers that would accompany him. Sherly would stay behind and coordinate troop commands of the Grey Party forces while Strausse would follow the baron his armored command car.

As Grief walked in front of the camp and the stationed armored divisions all around them he monitored his forces inspecting them and making sure they were ready for the battle to come. Some of them he knew from observation would be good fighters, at least to him they seemed to be preforming their tasks and well trained as much as the Order could offer. Others he knew as veterans and the baron could see that they were bloodthirsty for battle and seeking revenge as much as he was. However, there were also the faces of new recruits who seemed eager for war for now, but remained untested. He also observed the armored vehicles that have been hidden and camouflaged in the nearby forest. However, these would only make up the 38th armored division as the other two were hidden further off.

“I hope they’re all ready, there’s only one way out of this for us all…Trial by fire.” Grief said to himself as he then closed his eyes and used his powers.

Suddenly his entire body and even his jacket and gloves would begin to rapidly enlarge. The soldiers at the camp watched and observed this transformation. Most of the younger and ensigned soldiers were rather amazed and astonished at this event taking place, yet the veteran soldiers and officers appeared to be used to this sight. Grief steadily grew larger and bigger with not only becoming proportionately taller, but overall wider and overall larger as his growth transformation occurred. Some would say that the feeling was like being stretched or going through rapid puberty, however what he felt was is very atomic matter being augmented from a sub-atomic level. Overall his body would begin to feel tingly as it adapted and mutated rapidly, it was between a ticklish and a slightly painful situation, yet he was all to accustomed to it.

Finally, he opened his eyes and saw everything had became comparably miniaturized. All around him were trees, tanks, and even people who looked like they belonged to a miniature train making model set. What were once ferocious tanks stationed in the forest nearby now looked like a bunch of toy vehicles scattered around in a bunch of miniaturized, yet authentic trees.  Everything around him suddenly became less intimidating and even playful looking, which brought a sense of nostalgia back to his youth as a member of the army as the child as opposed to it’s leader. Still, he couldn’t help but find humor in the fact that all the ‘toys’ around him were already ‘his’ simply by him being the leader of the Order of Moebius. Yet there would be far more G.U.N vehicles he could deal with in the battle that was about to take place.

“OKAY EVERYONE, FOLLOW ME.” Grief said as even his voice was boomingly amplified and yet kept the same tone.

The now giant-sized Grief gradually turned around and then stomped down to face the west as his forces rallied behind the now titan sized Moebian vulpine. He took one last stretch as he let out a massive yawn before stomping ahead towards the west. As the giant looked at the now comparably smaller Transmanian countryside of Eastern Eurish his mind raced with thoughts. Would they be successful? Would the attack falter? All these were the annoying questions of leadership, yet the gargantuan Grief only had one thing on his now super-sized brain, revenge.

The entire armored forced proceed behind the giant as would a lord on a horse accompanied by his knight army, however there were also Raven 620 gunships flying in formation that quickly caught up to the giant baron’s position. It was a truly frightening sight, not only was there a giant stomping towards central Eurish, but also, he had his own army of tanks and infantry, as well as the latest and most high-tech hovercraft the Order could muster. However, they would have to cross into Austrogary before advancing into their first actual military target, Oster. Soon Grief stomped over into the flatland boarder of Austrogary followed by his divisions of tanks and APC’s with Ravens flying beside overheard.

As the giant and his minions crossed into the country they were met with little to no resistance. At most there were some local farmers who either fled or had the guts to simply yell at the giant and his armored divisions, to which Grief simply ignored as quite frankly he didn’t even understand what they were yelling at him. His armored division behind him shifted formation to where the APC’s would travel down the road and the tanks began to travers the hills and plains of the flatland. Fortunately, the terrain favored such easy travel for the Order armored divisions, unfortunately they had to keep in formation with Grief and he was rather slow in moving due to being gigantic.

The army enjoyed an easy traverse into the Autrogarian countryside. G.U.N wasn’t known for having any type of base in this land as it wasn’t a part of the United Federation and what little forces that they would encounter would be from the local army defense forces. There would be little time for the United Federation to even get approval to enter into the Eurishian country to combat Grief and his forces. Soon however they would arrive to the town of Makao.

This quaint and calm small town was known for it’s traditional and authentic Eurishian architecture as well as hosting a variety of religious denominations and communities within it. Unfortunately, that meant little to the massive baron and his legions of armored vehicles and craft as the giant stomped right up to the town and leaned down with his advancing units right behind him and next to him. The people in the town looked in horror, not only was there a massive and high-tech army that looked ready to lay siege to the town with high tech hovercraft, but there was a massive barefooted Moebian fox giant towering right over their town. Some civilians tried to flee from their homes, others just stared there in utter shock and bewilderment, there were some foolish enough to simply lock themselves inside their homes as well.

Meanwhile, the giant surveyed and looked at the town rather curiously. He noticed there were a lot of those funny pointed buildings that he’s seen before in other places on Mobius, combined with the domed like ones with gold plate. The white plus sign wooden signs were on top of them as well which he never really understood. Then again, he didn’t see these buildings or any other as of military value.

“ALRIGHT, LET’S GO. IF ANY OF THESE CIVIS GET ROUGH JUST SHOOT THEM. KEEP MOVING AND FOLLOW ME UNTIL WE REACH THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS TOWN. SHERLY’S MEN WILL TAKE THEIR CAPITAL BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH SCHEDULE.” Grief boomingly demanded with his gigantic voice.

Grief stepped into town as his tanks would follow behind, with some APC’s deploying Grey Panzertruppen to take and hold the town while the other Order forces advanced. This was to be the first occupation done by the Moebians of the war and thus they would do their job while the mainlined forces advanced right behind their giant master. The paved walkway streets were easier on the soles of his gigantic pawed feet as the giant stomped in between the buildings in the village followed by his tanks narrowing up and following him in a line formation.

Civilians fled and even policemen knew they were powerless from the giant and his occupation forces as well as armored divisions. Occasionally he would stomp on the ever so often wooden cart or fruit stand utter crushing and demolishing them beneath his massive stomping feet as the giant pressed onward deeper and deeper into the town near to the town square. As he moves, his massive feet would let out loud alarming thuds and booms as those even within proximity would feel small earthquakes with each step.

Meanwhile his tail would sway and hit the densely packed Eurishian styled buildings in the cramped town as well busting windows and even leaving cracks and holes in the sides of buildings as the giant’s tail would scrape them as it swayed massively from left to right as he moved.  With the locals either fleeing or just waiting out the giant and his tanks like a storm there was not much that the helpless town could do. The Order had invaded a civilian location with a large force and the locals basically were powerless to stop them.
