[b]"Alright, everybody out. Go Go Go!"[/b]

As Harald shouted his order, Lilly joined the tide of soldiers spilling out the back of the APC. [i]This is it... Here we go.[/i] *static* *crackle* [i]No, Lilly. Hold it together! You can do this![/i] To her relief, they had not yet been assaulted by sweeping barrages of machine gun fire and actually had a few moments to organize. When she ran over to Harald, Bons and Fairglaive, she took note of the terrain they would be fighting in. It was still mostly open but unlike the farmer's field before, there was a fair bit of scrub, brush and long grass to provide concealment. Not much cover besides the occasional tree, but if she dove into the grass, she might be able to avoid detection... *crack* *Pheeeew* A sniper bullet whizzed by the squad, causing Lilly's heart to jump and begin to race. [i]It begins...[/i] She ducked on instinct and began following her group as they began their approach. *crack* *crack* *rattatattatat* The coach house started to light up with muzzle flashes as the imperial defenders opened up at the two squads. Squad 9 (who was receiving the majority of the attention) began to return fire and with that, the battle was on. [i]I just pray we make it through safely...[/i]

[b]"All this scrub brush is gonna slow the APC down a little..."[/b] Evan muttered to himself as he surveyed the battlefield, before turning back to PFC Ariella. [b]"Well? You ready girly? Hope you're quick on the reload because heeere weeee gooooo!"[/b] Evan pressed down on the accelerator and the APC lurched forward. He quickly guided it into a position where it shielded the rest of squad 4 from incoming fire, before reducing the speed so that the rest of the infantry could keep up. *Pling Clank Piiing* A few bullets bounced off the APC's armour as a some of the riflemen in the coach house spotted their squad and fired. Evan scowled as he kept their speed even and continued advancing on the coach house's flank. He and Ariella were supposed to be acting as a shield for the infantry, much like an infantry support tank. ... But unlike a tank, they had only a fraction of the armour and protection to do it with. He trusted that imp lancers would be focused more on squad 9's actual tank, but having to give up their one advantage - speed - left a bad taste in his mouth. Behind him, he heard Ariella loading a shell into the APC's gun, and he shouted back to her. [b]"If ya spot any imps outside the house, fuck 'em up! But watch where you're firing those HE rounds. We wanna capture the house, not level it!"[/b]
