The Siege of Rolak

A siege is always an interesting thing to behold, this of course assumes you are not within the sieged area and can actually watch from a safe distance and not have to worry about eating, or being shelled to hell and back. Ronerawth wasn't about to let Rolak remain "free" (as free as a city trapped on a penisula walled in by a huge wall and surrounded by an entire country can be).  To their credit Rolak citizens did blockade the train tracks thus preventing the army from just simply arriving by train and retaking the city, they also put out the fires in the city and sent out scouts to watch for the Ronerawth military proper (some of these scouts were dressed in military clothing, as I figured not everyone was super happy with the way the military was currently being run).

And come the military did, I didn't see any trains (because honestly it would be a bad idea a train is a fixed ride easily destroyed at multiple points).  First was the cavalry, followed by the standing army, and last but not least the cooks and other people required to keep the military moving.  I had withdrawn from my wooded area to watch how Rojove would assault Rolak.  Surrounding it was apparently his first move, setting up artillery was the second and finally waiting was the third.  It figures their strategy would be to starve out the population, they were cut off, no point in running in there and giving the rebellion any more martyrs. I was actually really intriuged at how the army looked like one massive group of insects preparing to eat the city, supply lines formed up, the army bunched up at first and then spread out making sure to cover gaps.  I was actually so intently watching them do their little show I totally didn't notice I had been snuck up on until the shackles were firmly locked around my wrists.

Yes you read that right, I was captured AGAIN! You would think, in all my years of being alive I would have back up plans or something to deal with simple capture? You'd be wrong, but its not like I should be proud of how easy it is to capture me. You know admitting this like I do, it occurs I should dramatize these captures, instead of getting shackled and punched in the jaw, I should fight off hundreds and finally due to blood loss and lack of a will to go on give up valiantly.  Yeah like someone would believe that.  Not that any of the rest of the stuff I write is all the more believable.
