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.

Antiochus and his men of the 333rd Brigades were returning to the town of Barkerville.
They came upon the outskirts of town. They say two men raising a banner between two flag poles. It read, "Welcome back 2 Barkerville, 333rds."
As they entered town, townsfolk began tossing confetti out of the windows onto the soldiers that passed beneath.
-
ooc: confetti, nicely done.
-
As the convoy rolled into the town square, Mayor Wesley greeted out from the microphone on his podium.
"And here they are folks, the 333rd Brigade. Let's give a good warm welcome them!" he screamed out. The crowd erupted into shouts and cheers. Teenage girls crawled up against the side of the truck, giving a kiss to any Collosean in reach. In the background, the town's marching band played "Our Friends of the Ninth".
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please give an a round of applause to these dutiful men of the 333rd, who saved us from the cold of a harsh winter and help restock the medicine cabinets of our hospital! Without them, our town would had frozen to death or fallen into plaque. Now, here's a word from the Commander leading these honorable men!"
-
Antiochus steps up to the podium and clears his throat. "Well, fancy meeting you all here again?"
*crowd chuckles*
"I don't know if you all remember my name, but I am Antiochus and I'm the commander of these fine men of the 333rd. I, as I'm sure the rest of the men are as well, are honored by your welcoming us back to Barkerville to host little league baseball game."
