Inside the leading tank of the 1st Cavalry - IRONHOUSE 1-1 "Warlord", has announced the initiation of Phase 2. In that phase, the cavalry will now go on to the designated firing position to bombard and commence the fire mission towards Base Target 1 or the Riman Base Shore.

*psssh*

< IRONHOUSE 1-1 > < Warlord > : " *on base radio* ROSTWELLER, IRONHOUSE 1-1. Commencing Phase 2 now. "

[ ROSTWELLER ] [ R.T.O. ] [ Yane 1-5 , 5th Bn. ] : " *radio* Roger on that Warlord. Phase 2 at 1642 hrs. Good luck. Out."

*psssht!*

After eliminating the enemy's forward observers at the shore near the base target, the tanks pressed on with full speed, eliminating foot mobiles with their RWS or Remote Weapons Station by .50 cal Browning.

The tank's gunner then looks at the tank's loader with a smile.

< IRONHOUSE 1-1 > < Warlord Gunner > : " *mic* Ready up those HE's bro while I fire some pieces down here! "

< IRONHOUSE 1-1 > < Warlord Loader > : " *mic* I know that. Just make sure to hit your targets right. "

< IRONHOUSE 1-1 > < Warlord Gunner > : " *mic* Got ya! "

The tank's gunner went on to the RWS mode and then engages Riman Soldiers running off by the shores and treeline. At the same time, the other four tanks follow up and also engage the enemy soldiers.

*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*
*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*
*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*
*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*

The .50 cal devastated their bodies into pieces. Their torso and head exploded, and some got their legs and arms amputated instantly.

Together, the small surviving Riman Soldiers continued to scream hysterically as they try to outrun the tanks and escape. But it's no use as the bullets quickly reached them in an instant.

*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*
*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*
*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*
*BRATATATATATATATTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*

...

After the engagement, the sands and trees are now covered with blood, and the bodies of the enemy soldiers are scattered along with some of their exploded and amputated body parts.

Looking through the commander's scope inside of the tank, Boomstick's CO finally spots Base Target 1 from afar and radios it to the other 1st Cavalry tanks.

< IRONHOUSE 1-3 > < Boomstick > : " *radio* Warlord, this is Boomstick. Base Target 1 spotted at about 900 meters! "

< IRONHOUSE 1-1 > < Warlord > : " *on radio* Copied. All IRONHOUSE: Form in. "

With that, the 1st Cavalry tanks form in a straight line formation and steamed on towards the base target.

Meanwhile, at the enemy base shore, Riman Soldiers are doing their daily routine and task to fortify their defensive positions and security. They and all of the soldiers at the base also heard the faint explosions from the engagement of the 1st Cavalry from the distance.

Walking and patrolling along with the gates, there are two guards having a conversation about the earlier explosions.

Riman Guard 2: " Say, did you also hear those weird faint explosions? "

As the guard said to the other guard while holding his musket.

Riman Guard 1: " Yes. I also heard that too. It sounds like it came from the far east where our scouts have positioned. Does something happen to them? "

Riman Guard 2: " Beats me. "

Until a frantic soldier came running full of sweat and screaming. The soldiers that were guarding on the east of the base sees the man and wondered what's all that about.

Riman Guard 4: " Huh? Why is that guy running back towards here? "

Riman Guard 5: " I don't know. He seems to be in a panic. I wondered what happened? "

Another guard meets up with the running soldier and orders it to stop.

Riman Guard 6: " HEY YOU! STOP! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? "

The frantic man finally approached them gasping for air. All of the guards gathered up to the frantic man and wondered what had just happened to them.

RIman Soldier: *PANT!* *PANT!* THERE'S *PANT!* THERE'S A - "

But then, they are interrupted by a shout from another guard looking through its monocular device.

Riman Guard 8 : " OI! THERE ARE WEIRD OBJECTS FROM THE DISTANCE! ABOUT FOUR OF THEM ABOUT 400 METERS!"

The guards look at him and some also grab their monocular devices to confirm it and also see the exact same sight. While upon hearing this, the frantic soldier cries and runs with fear again towards their base.

A guard looks back at the frantic man running with anger and confusion.

Riman Guard 4: " TSK! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM? "

Then everyone starts to go to their defensive positions at the gate and grab their muskets and point to the four strange objects from afar.

Riman Guard 6: " WHA- WHA- WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?! "

Riman Guard 8: " I-I DON'T KNOW! "

As they said while anxiously shaking their muskets while aiming at the four tanks coming to them. Others start to get very nervous and anxious as well, as they continue to hear the hums of the tanks' engines and their metallic tracks sounds getting louder and louder.

Riman Guard 3: " CA-CAPTAIN! WHAT DO WE DO?! "

Still a little hesitant, their leader then grabs his whistle to alert the rest of the soldiers inside the base.

But then...

*BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*

Two consecutive explosions befell on them, killing all of them in an instant, leaving only a crater of dust and scattered remains of the soldier guards.

Meanwhile inside their base, their assigned commander of the base - Major Knight Von Verdi, together with some of his officials, were planning to reorganize their transport ships for repair and maintenance inside their main command tent when suddenly, they hear the massive explosion near their base and was very surprised and shocked. They all wondered what was that all about and hurriedly went outside of the command tent.

Riman Official 2: " What was that explosion?! "

Riman Official 3: " HEY LOOK! FROM THE EAST! "

Major Knight Von Verdi and the rest of the officials look to their east and saw the black mushroom smoke coming from their east gate. Some of their soldiers are also starting to panic and run in random directions screaming. Some meanwhile start to arm themselves with muskets, bows, and melee weapons to fend off their attackers. But some just run towards their respective tents and into the ships to hide and escape.

Riman Soldier 16: " WE WERE BEING ATTACKED BY THE ALMEDA KINGDOM! "

Riman Soldier 24: " WHERE'S MY RIFLE?! WHERE'S MY RIFLE?! "

Riman Soldier 55: " EVERYBODY! GRAB YOUR WEAPONS NOW! "

Countless whistles and horns resonate in the entire base, signaling they are being under attack. The officials don up their armors and weapons as they walk out to their men to command and organize their defensive positions.

At the docks meanwhile, some of the soldiers are now hurryingly running inside their ships that were still ongoing repairs and maintenance. Because of this, the workers that are tasked with the maintenance were surprised and tried to warn them about the ongoing maintenance and repairs. But the panic still ensues and the soldiers ignored the warnings. As the panicking soldiers went on to board the ships, wood creaks and sounds of loose screws and metals can be heard in various places of the ship.

Realizing the bad situation ongoing, Major Knight Von Verdi goes to the eastern gate to meet up with the rest of his soldiers to know what is exactly going on.

[ Maj. Knight Von Verdi ] : " CAN ANYONE OF YOU FUCKERS KNEW WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? "

There, he sees some of his soldiers and officials all lined up in their defensive positions behind wooden barricades and fences with their muskets and crossbows ready to engage the attackers.

But, the big smoke from the explosion impact prevents them from seeing their enemy, and instead, they all just hear the roaring noises of metallic tracks and engines from the distance.

Riman Official 3 : " MA-MAJOR! "

He said as he looked back at the major with surprise.

Riman Official 3 : " WE-WE DON'T KNOW, SIR! ALL WE KNOW IS THAT SOME KIND OF EXPLOSION MUST'VE HAPPENED! DO YOU THINK WE'RE BEING UNDER ATTACKED?! WHAT ARE THOSE NOISES, SIR?! "

Gradually, the wind slowly blows the cloud of smoke, and what is revealed, are the four Abrams tanks coming towards them from afar.

All of the soldiers and the major were utterly bewildered about what they are seeing right now. They all thought that they are really under attack and those tanks belong to the Almeda Kingdom.

Riman Official 3 : " WHA-WHA-WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS?! "

[ Maj. Knight Von Verdi ] : " TSK! FUCKING ALMEDA BASTARDS! WHAT FUCKING KIND ARE THOSE THINGS?! ARRGGH! "

The major then commands the troops around the base to prepare for an engagement.

[ Maj. Knight Von Verdi ] : " ALL OF YOU! GO TO THE EASTERN GATE AND PREPARE FOR A FIGHT! "

Most of the soldiers that were still in the base had no choice and went to the eastern gate with their weapons and armors ready. There, they continue to hold up defensive positions behind barricades to meet with the enemy.

But then, as the major was returning to his command tent to organize his troops...

*BOOOOOOOM!* *BOOOOOOOM!* *BOOOOOOOM!*

The major was struck by the immense shockwaves that throws him a couple of feet off the ground. Together, the eastern gate and the soldiers that were holding positions there are utterly destroyed by another three explosions from the tanks.

*bell ringing...*

[ Maj. Knight Von Verdi ] : " ARRRRRRGGHHH!!!!! "

The major, on the ground with pain all over his body, can't hear anything because his eardrums are badly damaged because of the blasts. He continues to get up but his arms and shoulders quickly gave up.

[ Maj. Knight Von Verdi ] : " ARRRGH! FUCK! FUCK! "

Around him meanwhile, the survivors of the blasts are still trying to escape and free themselves from wooden and metal debris that were scattered and fell to them. Some sustained serious injuries and limb amputations. Cries of soldiers resonated in the area as some doing agonal breathing, slowly dying.

After a couple of seconds, consecutive and continuous explosions fall around the base, indicating that the tanks are now firing upon them using HESH ( High-Explosive Squash Head ) rounds that are perfect for causing large area damage effects.

Because of these, all of the remaining soldiers and soldier officials were immensely overwhelmed by the sheer force of the tanks. They now run in panic and try to escape the base. Shouts of them pulling each other aside hoping to get out and escape first. Some are causing a stampede, leaving another small casualty among the soldiers.

Some are trying to escape on the other side of the base and into the forest. But, they were all greeted by sniper shots.

*BANG!**BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!*
*BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!**BANG!* *BANG!*

It's the GOLF Operators from Overwatch Team 3 of ROSTWELLER, that were positioned early in the morning doing reconnaissance and observation of the enemy base.

While hiding and in their cover behind bushes and trees, GOLF Operators with their ghillie suits and long-range weapons, easily pick up their targets and eliminate them one by one consecutively.

They are equipped with:

 

 

4 Units of:

- Main Armament: M24 SWS.
- Attachments:
; Sights - Leupold Scope
; Bipod
; Suppressor 

- Ammunition:
; Five plus One 5-round Magazines of 7.62x51mm M118LR

...

and 6 Units of:

- Main Armament: HK 417.
- Attachments:
; Sights - TR20
; Laser and Light - AN/PEQ-15
; Bipod
; Suppressor

- Ammunition:
; Six plus One 20-round Magazines of 7.62x51mm NATO

...

...

Seeing their comrades getting killed and falling down on the ground lifelessly without warning, the rest of the panicking soldiers start to avoid going into the forest and the other side of the base. Instead, they rush on towards the ships that were still on maintenance status.

Inside of the ships also followed the rest of the surviving officials under Major Knight Von Verdi. Sooner and later, more and more soldiers rush inside the unstable ships. And despite the repairmen's warnings towards the officials, the officials still ordered them to go and set sail.

Still hesitant, the sailors of the ships now release the anchors of their vessels and sailed down despite the ongoing repairments of the ships.

...

...

Meanwhile back at the target base, Major Knight Von Verdi manages to stand up using his sword as his supporter. Deafened and with an eye now blinded, he sees the continued bombardment around the base, leaving numerous of his soldiers dead. Splatters of blood are followed by the explosions and machine-gun fire, as well as scattered pieces and remains of their bodies.

Looking far to his northwest, he now sees his four transport ships sailing off the sea. But seconds later, the ships began to slow down and gradually come to a halt. At first, the major wondered why they stopped. But he realizes the reason when he sees them gradually sink. It's because the ships are still ongoing repairs and maintenance that made the ships unstable for sailing.

Almost all of the soldiers were on still the ships continued to panic and frail around. Because of this, some of them were trapped by the ships' crumbling debris falling on top of them. Some were killed instantly, and some were thrown overboard into the water.

Also because they still don their heavy armors, they can't swim and the weight of their armors made them drown and sink to the bottom of the sea.

...

Seeing all of his troops being destroyed, he feels massive anger and hatred toward the Almeda Kingdom which he thought was the reason behind the attack.

He then begins to slowly walk towards the east gate to meet with the enemy with his sword. Clenching his teeth and sword, his anger wants him to kill at least one soldier.

But then, as he reaches the east gate and meets up with the tanks a hundred meters away from him, the tanks stopped firing.

The major wondered why they stopped.

...

Then, as he hears another sound of metallic tracks and engines to his right side, he sees two more tanks coming out of the forest, followed by a platoon of men wearing strange armor and weapons.

With his failing legs, he kneels on the sand and screams at the top of his lungs cursing the enemy kingdom -

- followed by gunshots all over his body.

After bombarding Base Target 1, the sun was now beginning to set down and the units from 3rd and 4th Platoon of Cyanide Company begin to secure and continue with their operation.

They search the bodies and go towards destroyed tents and camps hoping to find some intel. With the help of the Abrams tanks in the vicinity, they established perimeter security, as well as Overwatch 3 from FISHERCOVE on the west.

On one of the 1st Armored tanks, its lead tank commander - CASTLEGATE 1-1 "Thornfield", went out to the hatch and observed the destruction the 1st Cavalry had caused.

< CASTLEGATE 1-1 > < Thornfield > : " *radio* Phew! It looked like World War 1 happened here! "

Coming out also of the tank hatch, CASTLEGATE 1-3's commander checks out the area.

< CASTLEGATE 1-3 > < Defensor > : " *radio* No shit. Fucking armaggedon'd this place to kingdom come. "

Also coming out of their tanks, 1st Cavalry commanders also check the place on their tank hatches.

< IRONHOUSE 1-2 > < Humbler > : " *radio* Sheesh. Now that the smoke has been settled, yeah. It's really destroyed. Holy hell! "

< IRONHOUSE 1-3 > < Boomstick > : " *radio* Haha. I wondered what is happening at the Base Target 2 now. "

< IRONHOUSE 1-4 > < Kreiger > : " *radio* I bet they are having fun as well. "

Warlord then contacts the other 1st Cavalry tanks assigned to bombard Base Target 2.

< IRONHOUSE 1-1 > < Warlord > : " *radio* Stigma, Stigma. This is Warlord. How are you guys doing back there? "

In the headset of the tank commander, Stigma's commander can be heard shouting, together with a hail of tank cannons and machine guns firing in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

< IRONHOUSE 1-5 > < Stigma > : " *on radio* WARLORD! WE ARE LITTLE BIT BUSY DOWN HERE! HEY! FOCUS ON THAT SENTRY! SMOKE THEM NOW! "
