Survival

October 4, 2012 By frjohn

Did you ever wonder what it really took to become an elite warrior in the past? Today, we have Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Delta Force, Air Force PJs,  and more – some of the greatest warriors in the history of the world. Back then, if you were lucky enough to survive the diseases and infections which withered the population regularly every ten years or so, there was one thing, above all, you had to accomplish: Survive.

Survival meant doing what it took to live through skirmishes, battles and wars, plagues and famines, intrigues and betrayals. There were, like today, few second chances, but back then, the consequences were often too terrible to imagine. To survive the attack of you enemy, it makes sense to kill him as quickly as possible. (Then he can’t kill you anymore). Men who were elite knew that it was their skill which protected them from swift and terrible death. They knew they would not get a second chance.

The Ninja warriors of ancient Japan and the elite Corsairs of the Seven Seas were just such men. They attacked with merciless ferocity, and they outlived their enemies by being smarter, stronger and more unpredictable.

Soon YOU will have the chance to choose:

Team NINJA or Team PIRATE

Choose wisely.
