Mayor Wesley spotted the the gentle rumble of diesel engines in the distance. He looked up the road, and sure enough, a convoy of military trucks were sighted in the distance. A Barkerville citizen with binoculars yelled out.
"That's them! They're carrying Collosean markings! Mayor?"
Mayor Wesley nodded back and turn to the group of citizens in front of him.
"Alright! It's time, everyone get into position!" he shouted out. Men and women scurried out across the two lane road. Several men grabbed a set of cables on the side of the road, ready to pull when the time comes. They gave a nod towards the mayor. The mayor nodded back.
The convoy slowly approached, a command APC leading in front and four military trucks following from behind. The trucks were topped with Collosean soldiers, seated with their face to the sides, unaware of what was happening in front of their convoy,
"Get ready people...." the Mayor whispers out.
