Alexios had taken a couple more shots at the descending so called "Green Devils", when his superior officer Hedger showed, complimenting him and his rifle. "Thank you, Sir. My rifle is very good, follow me since 1912. Austrian weapon, but still serve Greece proudly." Was his first response to the officer, though the Englishman wasn't there to compliment him. The fact that he said Alexios could be a hero of Greece, and it was only appropriate that the Greeks went on the offensive rather than the British forces, would have alone been to convince the Greek veteran to get a move on. "Yes Sir! We will take fight to the Germans, chase them into their little hole."

Dimitri had gone up to him and requested his Bren back, which Alexios gladly accepted, handing the young Greek his weapon, before turning to the rest of his section. "You heard the Britishman, we shall take the fight to the Germans! For far too long, the fascists have pushed us back, taking our land and raping all we hold dear. I say, no more! Let us join our British comrades, and show the Germans what it's like to be pushed. And this time, we will push them to the sea! Men, take your weapons, and follow me!"

And like that, two-thirds of Hedger's flank were on the counter-offensive. Alexios ran just in front of his section, as they climbed over their defences and headed in the same direction of the British, or Australian counter-attack according to Hedger. But just ahead, they already met resistance; His young Greek trooper, Dimitri, found the enemy before they could find him, but in a matter of second, was under fire himself. Alexios dropped on his stomach a few meters next to Dimitri, alongside several other Greek troops, firing back at the German paratroopers with their rifles as they only weapons, or so Alexios himself thought. The rifles did well to give Dimitri the cover he needed, precise and constantly buzzing the Germans ears. "Keep firing, suppress them!" They kept on firing as the rest of his Greek section followed shortly after, adding more men into the fray. Alexios pulled up and back the bolt of his Steyr-Mannlicher, ejecting the round before pushing another round into the chamber. The Germans were few and scattered, but through his scope, he still saw Germans marked for his bullets. 

The German paratroopers with only their Lugers and occasional MP40's and Kar98k's posed a stiff, but short resistance, who managed to get one of his men. The sound of small-arms fire was cut short though as the familiar sound of a fully fledged machine gun opened fire. Alexios pushed his face to the ground as he first thought it was German, but the sound came just left of him, from one of his own soldiers. "Pavlos, I didn't order that machine gun to follow, it's too heavy!" Alexios shouted at the soldier, who gave him a brief look of confusion before resuming fire at the Germans. -"But you said to take all our weapons, you didn't specify which ones." The soldiers replied, and though Alexios sighed over the fact that it had been carried all the way, the firepower of the machine gun proved to be of good help, so he didn't say anything else about it. 

"Dimitri, keep the pressure on the Germans. I will go find the Australian in charge of the counter-attack." Alexios shouted to him, ejecting the last round from his rifle and pressing down a handful of rounds into the chamber, before taking off. On their left, he could hear more gunfire, and as he run closer between the bushes and olives trees, heard an English voice. "Are you Australian officer in charge of this? Sergeant Stathon, I lead the Greeks on your right. What is situation, we push further?"
