Scarlet:
She was doing as expected, her squad have killed over half of the Weaker Elbrian soldiers themselves, But She lost over half of her men doing so.
"Casualties are high as expected... Dericka what is our Member count at now?"
Dericka looks around and counts the small amount of soldiers.
"We have 20 of our own including you and I. I'd say about 12 of us have died, the others fled."
Scarlet lets her head hang.
"Right then... Let's continue. The LZ is clear for now, But won't be for to long..."
The remaining squad members split into groups of two and all hide on tall buildings to hopefully ambush any Elbrian leftovers.
Dericka looks to Scarlet
"Scarlet..."
Scarlet looks to her.
"What is it Corporal Dericka."
Dericka:
"back there, You fought bravely, and you did your best to protect us. The casualties we've suffered will not have died in vain. They have helped pave way to our domination as the rightful Inheritors to the land."
Scarlet:
"Yes but at what cost. My squads aren't like they used to be, Now I get the most elite of the toss aways. I started out as a private with the best squad in all of the Ornavian fleet. Now I am struggling to deal with losses of those who weren't ready for the hard rage of a war. They fight well, But the elbrian fight better."
Dericka:
"On any given day you and I count for 100 standard soldiers ourselves..."
Scarlet:
"These privates can barely use the grapple hook to its advantage. When an Elbran sword goes up at you, your hook can help you evade the swing. And in very lucky cases, You can grapple the sword with it."

"You don't get to be in charge of a group dedicated to taking down titans, by fleeing from the targets. You get them by staining your best pair of pants and killing. The only problem I have is, The stains aren't blood."
Adder hears the call he has been waiting for for hours now... "Battle stations!" He stops polishing the barrel of his rifle and goes to the lookout position, keeping his rifle by his side. Using purely upper body strength, Adder climbs the ladder to his position and loads his Clockwork Rifle. Tired and shaky, Adder begins to look for his next mark. This would be the first time he killed a man but he had been trained to kill, trained for the slaughter. Plus, he had personal business to attend to with these Elbrians; this would be the first time he would be able to get back at the people who cut off his leg. As he thought of this, he began to search for the reason the call had been made. He noticed that their ship was descending. Adder was not the brightest individual, but he knew that he would soon be on the battlefield and on that battlefield, he would be leading a group of men to their deaths. He thought about these people's families and hoped that they would be able to make it back home to to these families.
Keaton looked around the horizon, the ruins had several guards patrolling the area, but for the ruins size, it seemed they were not as same as he presumed. While strapping his protective knee guards on, he noticed an airship approaching from the east, it seemed to bear the Elbrian colors, turning to a fellow guard he spoke aloud "Oh thank god, we needed reinforcements baldy." The guard wielding a think crossbow, turned in response "Finally, ill tell the rest of them" The guard scampered off. after he strapped his cape on over his neck brace, chestplate, and quiver. After fastening it tight, he headed down to the practice area. Tromping through some thick underbrush, he noticed several of the now landed airships passengers had landed, once he reached the archery area, he stood next to a group of archers and crossbowmen shooting at a swaying straw target, only a few of them had managed to stick the target, its movement threw them off some, he notched an arrow and took aim.
((All right, just to clarify, Scarlett's squad(and the rest of the Ornavian forces) are attacking Dead Man's Reach, a different fortress from fort Guardian. Don't worry, the rest of the Elbrians will counterattack soon.))
The rays of the morning sun felt warm, yet, the wind chilled to the bone. Rowan jogged at a leisurely pace, building up to a sprint, he ran several times around the camp: it was basic training, it needed to be followed. After several rounds, Rowan made his way towards the Elite Vanguard tent, where the officers would discuss the matters of the day, ranging from daily exercises to the news about unit skirmishes or battles.
- Meanwhile, at Dead man's Reach
- Acting Captain Henry L. Jones
"It happened so fast, the garrison barely noticed the enemy airship before it quickly unloaded it's troops without even landing. It's almost as if they came from the sky, killing many of the garrison before eventually losing men" It was time to make a push, as the highest ranking officer(or rather the only officer left), I shouted, "Forward! Drive them back!". The forces, inspired by this battlecry, pushed forward, gaining ground. But then, the airship landed, and what seemed like an endless amount of Ornavians came bursting out of the ship. "Dammit, you there!" the commander shouted to a subordinate, "Inform Fort Guardian about the attack, now!". "Units, fall back! We need to hold out a little longer." The commander shouted, calling the units back, shooting a man with his crossbow while he was at it.

Scarlet:
"Corporal Dericka, Hold this position."
Scarlet jumps in the air, Letting the grappling hook attached to her waist, attach itself to his tank and she propelled onto the tank, standing just in front of Jake now.
"What are you doing here? I wasn't told that I was getting reinforcements. You seem to know my name, So I assume you know that I am the leader of the Drop fleet for the naval ornav fleet."
She squats down in front of him, making direct eye contact with him.
"Alright, If you help, Promise me one thing."
She turned her head away looking back at her loyal soldiers following their orders, then back to eye contact with him
"Don't you die on me..."

"You don't get to be in charge of a group dedicated to taking down titans, by fleeing from the targets. You get them by staining your best pair of pants and killing. The only problem I have is, The stains aren't blood."
A man riding on a horse approached from the east, he reached the training encampment, just below the ruins Keaton could vaguely make out the words "Dead mans..., under.. attack" with his gear already on he motioned for the rest of the archers and swords men to be silenced, he repeated the mans words, then headed for the stables, a group of men followed his lead, while others headed for the airship.
He reached the stables and jumped on his favorite, already saddled up horse, waiting for several men to accompany him, they set off to dead mans reach, his horse kicking up bits of turf and dirt, the horse running like a steam train, full throttle to dead mans reach.
As the two started moving the tank WHILE Scarlet was standing on it, The tanks vibrations cause Scarlet to slip off, As she nears hitting the hard ground, she send herself flying back to the building she was originally o with her hook.
"That was close... the idiot almost made me roadkill..."
Dericka:
"All of the soldiers are in their positions, Now we are just waiting for the reinforcements from Elbrians."
Dericka hugs Scarlet tightly.
"If I die Scarlet, Just know, You're the greatest squad leader a gal can have."
She smiles brightly to her captain.
Scarlet:
Her eyes open wide, suprised by the remark.
"T-Thank you very much Dericka. I won't let you die."

"You don't get to be in charge of a group dedicated to taking down titans, by fleeing from the targets. You get them by staining your best pair of pants and killing. The only problem I have is, The stains aren't blood."
As they reach dead mans reach, immediatly Keaton fires an arrow into a nearby Ornavian musketeers shoulder, sending him falling backwards, another archer finished the job. He fired another into the face of an oncoming soilder, he toppled over dead. He noticed a small group of men holding back their positions, surrounded by groups of men, several dead. He arrived and dismounted, he cut an Ornavian down with his short sword, the group of men he had arrived with (seven or so) helped push back the ornavians, but the airship and several more groups of men were soon to arrive, a crossbow man beside him was shot by an Ornavian, but Keaton slashed down on two in the mans honor. He noticed a tank and several groups of ornavians arriving below the hill, he turned and rushed to his horse, pulling out five explosive arrows from his supply bag, lighting the first, he shot it into a oncoming group, it stuck in the ground and after a few seconds it lit up in a brilliant splash of light and flames, knocking several of them back, and dismembering three or so, this stunned the surrounding soldiers, he notched his arrow, and fired another.
As reinforcements arrived, Adder began to feel the thrill of the hunt. He looked around for potential targets and notices a fleet of Elbrian soldiers who were pushing back against his fellow Ornavians. From the top of the hill, Adder set up a custom built stand, sat on the ground, and began to take aim at the Elbrians. He had been given one order... kill all Elbrians at Dead Mans Reach, and that was exactly what he planned to do. He began to scope out the battlefield for potential targets and noticed a Elbrian man riding a horse and mowing down fleets of his troops. ((This would be Keaton, don't worry, I won't shoot to kill.)) Aiming down the sights of his clockwork rifle, Adder fires a bullet into the path of the horse, hoping to knock it down. "That'll level the playing field," he mutters as he begins shooting at the other Elbrians. His next bullet finds its mark in a different Vanguard's head, and he topples to the ground. He decides to take cover before he is seen and rolls down the hill, away from the battlefield.
((Keaton dismounted lols he fired a explosive arrow into a group of oncoming soldiers, and this a small amount of reinforcements, the rest are coming soon.))
He fired the other explosive arrow, into another group of Ornavians, he heard the yelps and cries and the next group of reinforcements arrived, fire spread on the small field from his arrows, another small group of Elbrian foot soldiers arrived to help, but as Keaton's reinforcement groups arrived, as the the Ornavians, he heard the distant hum of the airship as it approached from the distance.

BUT only if you click them.
((Still fired at the horse, would level the playing field a little bit.))
Hearing screams eminating from the battlefield, Adder crawls up the the hill once again to see the Elbrian, ((Once again Keaton)) continues to terrorize the battlefield. He decides to screw his orders and take the consiquences later. Adder shoots at the man's right knee, he taps his own peg leg when he does this. He says, "Feel the same pain I have felt," and begins to reload his rifle. He fires again randomly into the enemy lines. Shooting as many people as he can before rolling down the hill.
He pulls back his bow and fires into the enemy tank, the explosive arrow sticks into the tanks wheels, it explodes and the tank stops in its tracks, although it still has firing power, the tank was now nearly immobilized, as another patrol arrives and the blimp grows near, Keaton notices a rifleman, taking down Elbrian troops, he notches a normal arrow, when he feels a bullet nick his leg, cutting into his flesh, although he collapsed to the ground, holding his injury, yelling with frustration, with two explosive arrows left, he lit them both and fired, before noticing the amount of blood he's lost, one of the arrows flew too far and stuck into the hull of a tree, exploding, but unnaffecting any troops. The other killed but a small amount of Ornavian men. He had no choice but to fall back behind his lines, as the adrenaline wore off, he felt the pain, out of sight from riflemen, he caught a nearby medic, rushing up the hill along with a few reinforcements, the man began to work on the injury, he was angry at the riflemen, angry at the Ornavians who took his parents.
((So, the reason he has explosive arrows is, you guys have tanks and guns... Thought I would even the playing field myself a bit, but you were able to injure my character lol..))
Scarlet:
As she sees men being killed around her, She looks to Dericka, who had been shot in the arm. Dericka was already tying a piece of cloth around the shot.
Dericka:
"God... They are pushing back hard..."
Scarlet:
"Remember that thing you said earlier? About just two of us being about 100 of their normal soldiers?"
She and Dericka both smile, Preparing their weapons, Scarlet signals for her Fleet members to use their Waistband grapplehooks to get to the high building behind the Elbrian push.
"On 3... 1!, 2!, 3!"
As they took off, Some of her people started getting shot in their vital points, Scarlet seeing this could only stare in dismay at the amount of deaths her fleet was suffering.
As she grited her teeth, she and dericka ascended even faster. And They and about 12 other soldiers manage to make the building.
Dericka:
"Permission to Open fire with the small machine gun?"
Scarlet:
"Permission denied, We're gonna kill them with our swords and guns up close. I want them to see my face as I kill their captain."

"You don't get to be in charge of a group dedicated to taking down titans, by fleeing from the targets. You get them by staining your best pair of pants and killing. The only problem I have is, The stains aren't blood."
Allowing the medic to wrap up his fresh stinging wound, he had a perfect view of the approaching blimp, it unloaded a large mass of men in a nearby field, far from Ornavian view, he chuckled to himself, these reinforcements would change the tides. As the men neared, the blimp came into Ornavian view, preparing the bombs to rain down hell upon the unsuspecting troops, the medic finished wrapping his wound and he stood up on the hill, both sides were loosing heavy casualties he noticed the Ornavians were pushing back also, but his side had nearly forty well trained vanguards approaching from behind, and a blimp now above them, he notched an arrow and placed it into a Ornavian soldiers temple.
His wound only enraged him, he hated seeing his men die, he hated the fact he had been skimmed by a bullet. The blimp dropped three bombs down into the charging groups of men, one of the immobilized tank engineers noticed this, the blimp had dropped two more bombs when the tank fired into the blimp, this blew up several of the bombs inside the blimp,sending bits of shrapnel into the lines.
Then the blimp crashed into the woods just beyond the field, in a mass of flames. He killed two more troops before the men arrived, two mages in the group launched fireballs over the troops heads, one began summoning a sort of beast, He turned and noticed a good friend of his collapse, shot by a Ornavian, with tears streaking down his face he continued to fire arrows, Keaton was in the heat of battle.
((How far is Keaton from Scarlet? I want to fight.))

Reinforcements are behind me, so we could curve around one side of the group and confront one another, but I mean Keaton's already been shot lol I dunno if the odds are fair XD.))

((Well, I didn't know this was a actual structure from what I saw it didn't really specify this, but sure ill roll with it xp))
Keaton slung his bow over his shoulder, slightly limping he saw one of the mages finishing summoning a sort of Golem creature, he stared in suprise at the beast, happy these men were on his side, screaming echoed on both sides, as they pushed eachother back and forward, vanguards behind him and in front of him, he walked back through the vanguards and looked up at where one if the mages launched fireballs, he stepped back toward the Mage and noticed a small group of Ornavians clung to the side of the structure.
The Mage succeeded in knocking two of the men off the structure in a mess of flames, tumbling to their deaths below, when a bolt landed itself perfectly into the mages throat while he was preoccupied
, he collapsed with gurgling noises, he had but a short amount of arrows left, but he managed to pick off another of the men, but he ran out of his arrows, he looked up at the group, and once again slung his bow over his shoulder, and wielded his sword, with around 8 vanguard at his back, and the second Mage (summoner) a short distance away, he stood awaiting the confrontation of the group. ((Didn't really know how to do this lols, so I guess we fight with a small group of men behind us? (I think it's too early for either of our characters to die.)))
Scarlet:
"Crap, Comprimised"
She signaled for her men to jump down and rain hell on the elbrians below.
Scarlet went for the one who seemed to be doing the most damage to her men (Keaton)
She ran at him her sword in her left hand, Gun in right.

Noticing the woman running at him, he popped his neck to the side, his vanguards ran past scarlet, meeting her men in a tough interlocking battle, the main masses of troops a distance away fighting thick in the blood of one another, the stone golem fighting its way through the Ornavians, the two encircled each other, "So.. It appears we have a little duel on are hands here.." He spit on the ground next to him, awaiting her next move.
