Shelling your own forces is not unheard of. It's usually done though as a tactic of last resort. Filipino marines have done it often enough to actually make it a strategy. They lull the overwhelming enemy forces to encircle and overrun their position and then ask the artillery to rain down fire on their own position. The Marines have already accepted their deaths anyway, so taking down the enemy with them is just a bonus.
"But Odin alone would choose the day they would enter Valhalla. And in their hour of need he sent forth unto them the berserker rage. They rose up from the ground, screaming like wild animals. Such is the gift of absolute power! No blade or weapon could harm them! They killed men and horses alike! And all who stood before them died that day! HAIL GODS OF WAR!!!!!"
"Gods of War, I call thee. My Sword is by my side. I seek a life of Honor, free from all False Pride. I will crack the whip, with a bold, mighty, 'Hail!' Cover me with Death, if I should ever fail. Glory, Majesty, Unity. Hail. Hail! HAIL!" - 'The Warrior's Prayer (Glory, Majesty, Unity)' by Manowar
Fun fact, it's believed to one of the possible reasons for a viking beserkers might on the battlefield was the consumption of psychedelic mushrooms before battle, making them feel larger and have a far higher pain tolerance
I think the Vikings were so fearsome because they knew they had a long trip home and there is always that one guy that keeps saying 'are we there yet?'
Few describe it so well, those infinite seconds, no concern beyond the elimination of prey/target/those with the gaul to damage/obstruct you, for that's all pain registers as, the disturbing comfort of the ruthlessly primal logic of kill or be killed
It kinda makes scense from a evolutionary stand point. If you can get your guards, defenders, or hunters to be effective at there job of protecting there tribe, pack, or family.

I have fought people for fun. One of my room mates when I was in the military used to fight with me on a regular basis. I wore long sleeves so my co-workers would not see the bruises on my arms. When he got reassigned he told me I was the best room mate he ever had. He was also one of the best room mates I ever had as well. We did take time to heal up afterword before our next fight. We also had strict rules about where you could hit. So upper chest, and upper arms, but no where else. There was one time he hit me in the hip and nearly broke his hand. I called the fight off (conceded the fight to him) It took about a week for the swelling in his hand to go down. Just so you know, we used to talk all the time and had mutual interests other than fighting. Now, I had another room mate. Our dorm manager said there were two people who could not keep a room mate for very long. So he decided to put us together to see what happened. We were room mates until he was discharged from the Air Force. No we did not fight. I would never have done that with him. He was very delicate looking and I would have been afraid of doing him serious injury. I don't know why other people had problems with him. We got along just fine.
Autism and disagreeable personalities get along famously. It's just that autistic people get along rather poorly with agreeable personalities: we want to be agreeable, but we miss the cues and sometimes end up offending agreeable personalities even worse than disagreeable personalities. Disagreeable personalities know about all that stuff, they just don't care. It's a bit like the relationship between a cat and a bunny. When a cat licks a bunny, they both think they're top dog in that interaction. I don't want to assume you're disagreeable, or that the Air Force roommate had autism, BTW. This is just one scenario that could explain why he never could get along with anyone else. Also, this disclaimer is meant for agreeable personalities, the rest of us frankly don't care. Well, autistic people (me) do care, just in an academic sort of way, not in an "I'm going to take severe offense to that assumption because I'm an obviously normal human being/you're being " sort of way.
@@mage3690 They thought he was gay. This was back in the days of "Don't ask, Don't tell. Well, I don't know if he was or not. It would not have mattered to me if he was. He did tell me he had a girlfriend he was planning to marry when he got out of the military. He showed me her picture, and she was pretty. I hope things turned out well for him.
Berserker. Where we get "he went beserk!" All but my nickname in school. Whenever people said this, it was assumed that "he" was me. Adrenalin does strange stuff. I had several fights in my younger years were I felt like I was an outsider watching someone else use my body in a fight and not being really aware of the rest of the world until later when several people managed to hold me down. I will say, though, that with as much as we moved around, it didn't take bullies at a new school long to figure out that leaving me alone was the best option. Now I am just old, and probably remember these episodes a little more in my favor than they were, but that is another advantage to me.
I would start laughing hysterically in violent situations and feel almost no pain, none of my bullies dared to take me on one on one and many of them tried to be friendly with me outside of school when their buddies weren't around to back them up... I'm not a violent person, quite the opposite infact, but that's a big part due to having some pretty bad aggression issues when I was younger that led me to learn to not get angry or if I do walk away rather than fight mostly out of fear I lose control, I'm a small guy but even a small guy can do some bad damage if you go into full animalistic rage mode and use anything you can get your hands on to hit, cut or stab someone and in general don't have any sense of "fighting fair" or "honourably" while in such a state and I really don't want to be responsible for doing something like that 😅
@@Warutteri The rule is that if you pick up a weapon to make you equal, put it down and pick up something bigger. No such thing as a "fair fight" just a fight you survive and that final one where you do not.

@@randolphphillips3104 Sorry didn't mean to come of as saying you would do so fight other than as the last option, I've just known people like that which is why in public discussions on fighting and controlling your aggression I usually try to mention how important it is to always try ways other than violence to solve the situation or if nothing works try to remove yourself from the situation, even if that might result in some jeers or "losing of face" because there are risks of permanent injuries even in relatively minor violence because accidents can happen really easily while fighting and sometimes you just hit in the worst possible spot and break something that doesn't heal easily or even cause permanent damage.
It sounds like a guy dealing with a few particularly dark demons rather well. I have known a few people with this strange affliction. To bad real life doesn't have "the collar" they can use instead of just having to be very careful.
Well, I'm using strange affliction as a nicer way to say "once the fight is on you have to keep one eye the crazy bastards because they are just as likely to attack you as the people you're fighting." the fact they got no control once they get going only becomes obvious later so it is most definitely a mental affliction. Strange could probably be swapped out for rare but I find it odd myself to not be able to recognize your friends during a fight and try to beat the hell out of them in your blood lust.
@@lloydkeith3061 I’ve had to deal with those types they are rare these days and it’s not a power it’s a sickness they need help with sadly.

@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus in short you can't. Those people are just as big a liability as I can think of to bring into a fight. Hell, even a fist fight can become dodgy if they really get going.
I understand how the guy in the story feels. I’ve had dreams like that. You become almost possessed by the lust for violence and bloodshed and mow through whoever is in front of you, and it becomes nearly impossible to stop. The sheer power you feel, the ecstasy as creature after creature falls before you, most run, some fight back, but nothing can even slow you down. You are invincible and unstoppable. And then when it’s all over and you see the piles of bodies around you, the horror and shame becomes just as overwhelming.
I have a similar trance. It's why I avoid physical fighting so much. It's almost like watching as a foreign entity posseses my body. Very unsettling. Damn near fed a guy his own teeth...
You suddenly feel like time flows slower and your moves are way more accurate and your reactions are automatic. Sometimes you suddenly do moves you havn´t even practised before. Once it is over you don´t really know what happened and have to piece it together from the fractured memories you have. In school i was somewhat bullied because i didn´t fight back too much. I´ve always been kinda afraid that if i let the anger take over i might end up killing someone before i cool down. Some who are now my friends told me that in elementary school they found it kinda interesting to keep teasing me as i kept my cool for a long time but once i let out a low growl, they knew they had to run...
I call mine retard strength cause I temporarily black out and start throwing people my own size or bigger in ways that should not be normally possible and that I cant do when awake
I believe that word which is Error Untranslatable is the word "berserker", a class of warriors who worked themselves into a frenzy before battle and fought with abnormal fury and courage.

🤷🏼♂️ depends on what’s available or what theyre used to using. Maybe bio-horrors are their standard troops. Maybe they’re just specific line breaker units.
Well, the Empire used to be a slave-state, as said when the story was setting the scene in the beginning. The story doesn't focus on the moral fibre of either multi-species conglomerate, really, it's about the experiences of two people in the middle of it in a way that exemplifies human bloodlust. The Republic could be 'the good guys' for all we know, it doesn't matter for what the story is setting out to do here. But the Empire has military leadership somewhat comfortable with bombarding their own population centers, employ mercenary corps as a large contingent of their regular militaries, and had a history of slavery- sounds like a United States analogue from a couple of angles, but although the POV is centered on them it isn't obviously supposed to be seen as the 'good guys'.
@nullpoint3346 Not necessarily. Republics have a Constitution and no formal noble class. Nothing says if that constitution is respected, or if it's liberty-minded.

Exelent story good sir! I would love for the author to flush out the stories in to a full book. Set up the book from the main characters perspective telling the story to a group of murk's in a bar, each chapter is a different battle or assignment or incident and the main character is telling the story to new soldiers that haven't seen battle yet anyway there's a start for you. I would write it myself but I can't spell and don't get along well with computers. Good luck!👍
Hyper-rage is unfortunately real. I've had the problem since young. So much so that when my daughter gave me a new house key it was a hulk image. I don't like it, and fortunately have never lost it with a loved one.
The term, "Battle Trance" is also known as going, "BERZERK". ;-) I thought the answer was, "Not sure an alien would cover his back like having another Human?"
You can tell which of these stories are written by woke cultists. The stories always obsess with labels like Sapient.. the xenophobia in the stoires tell alot about the writer. Its like a glimpse into their psyche. Very interesting tbh.

"Gods of War, I call thee. My Sword is by my side. I seek a life of Honor, free from all False Pride. I will crack the whip, with a bold, mighty, 'Hail!' Cover me with Death, if I should ever fail. Glory, Majesty, Unity. Hail. Hail! HAIL!" - 'The Warrior's Prayer (Glory, Majesty, Unity)' by Manowar
So True
Very well written
and
Very well done Netnarrator 💯
Would love to see a continuation of this 👏👏👏👏👏
Soldier uses mono sword
Guns, so uncivilized...
Damn.. fighting with swords can be sometimes too fun, i myself broke several bones during a mock fight at my old dojo
ouch
Still feels weird not hearing Bob the dragon at the begining. I wonder how he's doing nowadays

great story, thanks for that!
Exelent story good sir! I would love for the author to flush out the stories in to a full book. Set up the book from the main characters perspective telling the story to a group of murk's in a bar, each chapter is a different battle or assignment or incident and the main character is telling the story to new soldiers that haven't seen battle yet anyway there's a start for you. I would write it myself but I can't spell and don't get along well with computers. Good luck!👍
good story and thanks for the narration
For the algorithm! Being human comes with a tendency to do more than the algorithm demands - out of spite :)
Great Story, i was enthralled by it
Guess I'm a space merc now... cool
For the algorithm and the narrator.
Sounds like a story from StarCraft. Down in the trenches pov.
Heard before on another channel, still interest.
Thanks for the story 🙂☺️
You have the doom slayer on your side
when berserkers go to space
I love this one tk you
It feels wrong not hearing you say Bob the Dragon in your patron shout out.
from the time before the before , from the many much days...weeks and months ago :D
Hyper-rage is unfortunately real. I've had the problem since young. So much so that when my daughter gave me a new house key it was a hulk image. I don't like it, and fortunately have never lost it with a loved one.
Thats a beserker alright
Good story but the narrator just sounds like an old man and not a hired space gun. Great sound for diplomats and that sort but not for a space marine.
Just saying, but you are criticizing one of the best SF narrators on UA-cam
The term, "Battle Trance" is also known as going, "BERZERK". ;-)
I thought the answer was, "Not sure an alien would cover his back like having another Human?"
Thank You for the reading
23:19 uh oh stinky!

What does hfy mean
Stands for Humanity, Fuck Yea!
You can tell which of these stories are written by woke cultists. The stories always obsess with labels like Sapient.. the xenophobia in the stoires tell alot about the writer. Its like a glimpse into their psyche. Very interesting tbh.
I really didn't like this story at all. Didn't draw me in. In one ear out the other. Disappointed. Idk why you bothered with this one.
Because this channel narrates most of the passably-written stories on the subreddit
