Encarnacion Mariano - Queen of the Spanish "The Spaniard"
On the whole,one would say that their strength is in their infantry, which fights along with the cavalry; admirably adapted to the action of the latter is the swiftness of certain foot soldiers, who are picked from the entire youth of their country, and stationed in front of the line."
- Tacitus
"The infantry is the shield of Spain."
- Queen Mariano
Legionary Lady and General Consolacion was grunting in pain as she watched the medic wrap a new roll of bandages around her wounded left arm. She was out of her armor while the medic and the rest of her personal guards were still protected, doing their jobs for her in this ruined clinic.
She had made this floor her headquarters and despite being several hundred meters away from the real battle on the ground, in this city, she and her subordinates were still being fucked over with artillery.
She heard the painful reports of rifles, carbines and machine guns while the medic finished his duties. She thanked him with a pat on the helmet before standing up and attempting to call on the support of other Spanish and Havenite units, even daring to call for help from any nearby NC.
Len hears her call for help, and with Cody's permission to let go, she shifts her focus to supporting the Spanish sector.
"Good riddance.", Len whispered to herself as she leaves Cody behind.
"Un momento, amigos.", Len replied on the radio.
It didn't took long for her to reach the Spanish sector, it is without a doubt the most fought after sector, the urban warfare as bad as that of Stalingrad, at least what she learned of it in the academy.
"Ah, Dios Mio.", Len uttered as she sees the close fighting between forces.
But there's no time to look in awe, she launched her drones to help with the fighting. Recon drones, armed with machine guns, not only enables her and her allies see what is on the corner, but also provide anti-infantry firepower.
As fighting intensifies in the sector, the Red-Star pours in more reinforcements to push home a breakthrough. Tanks, aircraft, even NCs were sent this way.
Len aims her laser drones on the tanks' vulnerable areas. As the crews bails out of their tank, Len remorselessly fired at the helpless souls.
"That's right, burn in hell you Godless maggots! Return to your maker!", Len taunts as she maniacally laughs.
As she enjoys killing the enemy, she disregarded her position, not noticing the enemy NC approaching her. The NC fired a shot, only to be blocked by Charlemagne's force field.
"Punyeta!", she screamed in shock as Charlemagne was jolted by the shot.
Len fired her laser arms to the enemy NC, unfortunately, the NC, probably piloted by a veteran, gets in close and proceeds to attack with his dao. She blocks the attack with Charlemagne's left arm, destroying the latter completely. She replies by shooting with Charlemagne's right arm laser at point-blank range. The NC blows up, but not before destroying Charlemagne's right arm, to make things worse, the explosion itself heavily damaged Charlemagne.
Leaving no choice, Len is forced to retreat, but the Red-Star's Air Force focused their attack on in the Spanish sector, insistent in breaching the line.
"Requesting air support, we're being overrun here!", Len radioed, trying to be as calm as possible.
Meanwhile, the air combat in Maman's sector lessens as most of the enemy air power is redirected to the Spanish sector. As she hears the radios from the Spanish troops and Len, she takes th opportunity to support the sector.
"N'aie pas peur, Maman est là pour aider nos frères Espagnols.", Mamam replies as she deals with an enemy wing.
"¡Gracias a Dios!" Cried out a Spanish Legionnaire as she and several other Spaniards turned to see reinforcements in the form of drones coming from an NC. An allied Havenite NC! They cried out with joy as they saw them in action, the Legionnaires loyal to the Queen and the rest of the Spanish troops, even those who volunteered from the city of Haven (so long as they were Spanish or even European).
Soon enough, despite the heavy, brutal fighting, the Spanish forces holding this sector began to put up a slightly better fight. At the time, a pair of attack helicopters with Spanish air force markings started to join the fight showering Red Star ground forces with rockets and missiles. They followed up with a volley of cannon fire and machine gun fire. Afterwards, avoiding enemy anti air and missiles from the ground, they tried to escape only to end up with one of their own being shot down by a Red Star air to air missile.
On the ground itself, Spanish armored fighting vehicles modified to handle urban combat started to lead the infantry in an offensive mission, hoping to turn the tide or at least keep holding as long as they could. Instead, it slowed down.
For now, Captain Consolacion was making contact with Len and Maman. She first spoke to Len, informing her that more air support may come their way. Then to Maman, she told her that she and her forces were holding the line but they really needed more help.
After dealing dealing with the enemy fighter squadron, Maman is now free to assist the Spanish sector.
"Maman at your service. How can I be of assistance, Capitaine de la majesté?", Maman addressed Captain Consolacion.
"Forget about the pleasantries, Ma'am. Maldita sea este ataque! Look, I need your help. Do something about our Queen! She needs your help more than ours! You are an NC and you'd be more able to save her from that NC more than us. She's been on our radio for more than enough times. Go!"
She responded before she put her own radio down and started to shout at a bunch of officers handling artillery.
"Affirmatif.", Maman replied.
Maman rushed in to support Queen Encarnacion, but is blocked by a group of enemy SPAAGs, determined to take her down. Maman is getting none of this, and fired her anti-surface missiles, taking most the SPAAGs down, while leaving the rest vulnerable to Spanish guns
With the immediate threat out of the way, Maman focus on supporting the queen and taking down TABRIS. Whith her Rhongomyniad fully-charged, she lines up on the TABRIS. She breathes slowly as she times her shot.
She pulls the trigger, and fired on the enemy NC.
