Camp Gladius’s Fall
at first, similar to Silverhold, morale was high. issue is it unlike Silverhold it rapidly decreased incredibly early on, when one day when Larcos and some other soldiers went into town and found the people there dead or mutated.
there was no cheering or drinking, nor was there taunts that they would kick the Atlanteans back to the dark sea and the like.
morale dropped more and more, after a bit, a group of 4 was selected to guard the civilians on the high cliffs, while Larcos would personally guard the enterance to the ruins. these would in the end be the only people to survive.
soon, 5 men were found dead in the mines, alongside the dozens of civilians who had went into hiding there, the 19 men left morale hit the sea floor upon seeing this, especially when 4 more went missing when delving deeper into the mines, all that was found of them was one ripped off arm.
one day, in the dead of night, someone turned, and the other 3 in his tent were dead before they could wake. as people woke to see what happened, they saw the infected man and fought him, managing to put him down after he took out 2 more of them.
the corpses attractred more and more atlanteans, and the men had just accepted they would die at that point. men cried themselves to sleep, some wrote letters to their families in hope they would one day get to read them, some got ready for a final fight.
the last 13 wouldnt last much longer than that, they would build a barricade out of various materials in the main enterance, but soon Atlanteans dropped down from above at the same time as Atlanteans broke through.
it was a killing ground, at the end of it all, only 1 Atlantean stood over the bloody bodies of the mutants and of the men of Camp Gladius.
