1981 - Aid

After and exhausting journey to northern Italy (yes I'm skipping over that part stfu) Jaques and Calista have made their way to Rome. There was the Vatican and they had to defend it at ALL COSTS. The entire way they were both two weeks ahead from the advancing Yugoslav army who had launched and invasion after the lair exited milan. The Italians were skeptical upon seeing them at the checkpoint. In what circumstance would two young people one man and one woman show up to a checkpoint of a fortress while one wears a Napoleonic uniform?

They WERE let in since they promised to help defend the city. Using his devine power Jacques persuaded the leaders into putting him in a high position. He strengthened the outskirts of the city to prevent tanks by placing mines in any terrain that's easy to cross. And if that doesn't work he used holes to place antitank cannons to pick off small ones who wouldn't fall to the mines.

Calista mostly helped Jacques by helping him carry things, dig and cook for engineers.

After two full weeks of preparation, the invasion finally came. It reached the pair while eating lunch when suddenly the glass of the building was shredded by machine gun fire. Jacques pushed Calista and the man they were eating with onto the ground. They rushed out panicked as soldiers scrambled to the defenses.

Unlike the other leaders who gave orders through radio he was firing artillery while shouting orders with his own voice. Once the mines have been cleared they had found a weak spot the defenses. And artillery shell struck two antitank nests paving the way for a donated Chinese experimental tank. It had shock absorbing armor so that most shells wouldn't even explode upon contact, an explosive machine gun and two heavy turrets along with a regular machine gun.

Jacques stepped up and walked right to the tank and stood less than a hundred meters away. He shouted to it so the crew would be taunted. It worked one of the turrets started to aim at him. The battlefield grew silent. The Yugoslavs wanting to see the tank fire and the Italians watching one of their leaders fall.

The saint channeled his inner energy although not visible from the outside he had a plan. He aimed his flintlock right down the barrel of the mechanical beast and at the perfect time he fired. With the musket ball hitting the primed shell at the perfect microsecond making the tank explode from the inside. 9.6 billion dollars lost to a flintlock. This gave the coalition troops the moral boost they needed and charged world war one style at the opposing as army chasing them away raising the flag over the cathedral signifying the victory.

Jacques waved a burning Yugoslavian flag over the wreck of the tank as a journalist caught the picture showing that God has responded. And he's not playing games since the man who fought Satan is running wild.
