Scout of the Highlands by Shabazik on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Captain!!!"

"Hiyya Boss"

"Don't you Hiyya Boss' me, captain! Salute your superior!"

"But I have just saluted you?"

"By rank, I mean!!" said impatient the colonel. "Why are you and your forces again out of uniform?"

"We needed to move fast!"

"... well, go and put your uniform for once again. Secondly: Why you scouts failed to report again the presence of killed enemies, badly mauled, as half eaten by animals? My men advanced again over supposedly enemy occupied possitions, only to find a carnage!"

"Sorry Boss"

"And finally, there are still persistent reports about wolves around the camp. And this would be the eleventh time I ask you captain, to GET RID OF THESE WOLVES!"

"Yessir!" the captain said. Surely she will, even if she have to beat again her soldiers. She had told them to not do that near the camp!

"You are dismissed Captain!"

the woman nodded, before turning away. As she walked away, the colonel spoke with other captain.

"These scouts! is almost impossible to deal with them!" he said. "Effective soldiers: but no discipline!"

"Really... interesting fashion they have" said this second captain to the colonel. "From which colony of the empire they are?"

"Colony?" said the colonel. "They are from no colony. Metropolitan forces."

The captain looked surprised at the rag tagged scouts.

"Metropolitan forces?! That's the Degoland Army now?!"

"Nah, they aren't the regulars" said the Colonel. "They are militia. Highlanders."

It's true that's was known that the war against The Gastronomic Empire wasn't going very well, and that they had been suffering shortages in manpower... but the captain was surprised such "militias" where in use!

"Don't be so surprised. Highlanders are quite a freaky bunch" said the colonel, raising his shoulders. He have been commanding these militiamen of the highlands long enough to not be too surprised of anything... but still he tried to give them some discipline "Which is completely useless" he thought, bitterly.

Done for for participating on the contest of #World-of-Aiers. My first option was doing some mafia werewolf gangsters... but remembering a drawing of modern aiers done only days before the contest, I couldn't but try that. XD

The last one of the batch!

Many thanks for participating !
