Prelude to the Second Wave

As the two-hour bombardment continued, Richard's leadership at Blackwatch Oriental Military Camp remained efficient and focused. He coordinated the artillery strikes with a clear, tactical approach, continuously targeting the densest areas of the zombie horde.

"Excalibur, shift fire to the east. We're hitting them where they're thickest," Richard directed crisply. He kept his gaze fixed on the monitors, tracking the impact of each salvo.

Sara updated the coordinates with precision. "Targets locked in the east quadrant, sir."

Mark promptly communicated the new instructions. "Blackwatch to Excalibur, targets updated to the east. Fire on confirmation."

The response from Excalibur was immediate. "Received, Blackwatch. Engaging now."

The screens in the command center displayed the results of each strike. The zombies were steadily being reduced in number, and Richard's notifications reflected this success.
