Pheidas

Pheidas was a nineteen year old conscript in the army of Philistine. He was based in Gaza but spent duty time patrolling in Moab.

On one occasion, he and his squad were traveling to Hierosolyma in a convoy of APCs, when the convoy was attacked by a murder bomber. His particular carrier rocked but when it stopped and the soldiers deployed, they could see a command car on fire as well as a flipped APC. The murder bomber had rammed the command car before setting off his explosives.

After the wounded were treated and the dead collected, the convoy continued to the barracks in Hierosolyma. While underway, Pheidas reflected on the long history of the conflict between the Philistines and the Moabites. It went back three thousand years to when Lord Goliath defeated the Moabite champion. He couldn't recall the name of the Moabite so called to his buddy Antenor who replied immediately Tabitas of Evraioi.

The next day Pheidas went out on foot patrol with half his squad under the command of Sgt. Dryops. At first it was tense but quiet. However, shortly they heard the sound of gunfire. The half squad hurried toward it and found another patrol had been ambushed.
