The rest of the team began to trudge forward, artillery fire had stopped due to the belief that we were all dead. A holographic 3D display flickered into existence in my cockpit, illuminating it with a strange greenish glow, we were being led by the guide through a mountain pass that looked down on to savonovo and the rest of the surrounding area.
We were led up a narrow mountain pass, to our right was a cliff face and to our left was a deadly drop, an ambush now would be fatal. We reached the peak of the pass, the vista of the area was astonishing, death seemed to haunt it but it had the same ideals of a christmas postcard, this was immediatly interrupted by a poor quality communication from our commander, the guide didn't speak, only led, it was left to the commander to decipher his actions. "Snipers, remain in position and do supressive and covering fire, the guide and Mastercjh will move down and eliminate in close combat", the message ended, due to poor signal or it was short for other reasons known only to the commander, I will never know.
Me, the commander and the two other snipers fired at stationed ACV's meanwhile the two soldiers trundled down the path towards savanovo. Artillery fire resumed, directed at the snipers only fortunately due to our gunfire, the rounds proved innefective due to our elevated position. The soldier duo had reached the town but had been engaged as all of us noticed gunfire and explosions from behind the buildings, our commander also noticed a pair of snipers, he ordered us to supress them to help the soldiers.
Two minutes later and the ground battle had moved, the town of savonovo was now in ruin due to the battle, through the smoke four hounds emerged, battling, both of ours had survived but at what cost, mastercjh was sparking and the guide was on fire, we was ordered to switch targets again but the commander remained on the snipers.
After a minute of concentrated fire on the enemy soldiers, one had been destroyed but the other seemed unscathed, the guide had been killed leaving a sparking mastercjh in a duel. It hit again, the artillery proved itself accurate again causing a direct hit amongst the us 4 snipers, the other two were killed, there dying screams still haunt me as the chemical rouds caused them to burn alive in a exploding cockpit, just a damaged me and commander remained waiting for the next round mean while an outgunned mastrcjh was fighting basically alone......
