Meanwhile, at the Base Target 2 of Almeda Base, the other four 1st Cavalry tanks are now also doing their fire mission towards the base target. Like the cavalry tanks from the first base target, they also lined up in a formation to bombard the base target from approximately 200 meters.

Inside of the leading tank - IRONHOUSE 1-5 “Stigma”, is now leading the fire mission together with the other three Abrams tanks, when Warlord suddenly radioed with them and asked their sitrep.

< IRONHOUSE 1-5 > < Stigma > : " *radio* WARLORD! WE ARE LITTLE BIT BUSY DOWN HERE! "

The tank commander of Stigma shouted at the radio while looking through his commander’s scope inside the tank. And upon seeing a barricaded sentry full of Almeda Soldiers, he then shouts to the gunner to take out the sentry while still in contact with Warlord on the radio.

< IRONHOUSE 1-5 > < Stigma > : " HEY! FOCUS ON THAT SENTRY! SMOKE THEM NOW! "

The tank gunner then adjusts the cannon to the left side and waits for the signal of the tank loader. After just a second, the tank loader already put another HESH round into the chamber and signals the gunner.

< IRONHOUSE 1-5 > < Stigma Loader > : " UP! "

< IRONHOUSE 1-5 > < Stigma Gunner > : " GO! "

Immediately, the tank gunner fires the cannon out to the sentry in his monitor sight.

*BOOOOOOOM!*

The soldiers behind the barricaded sentry disintegrated into pieces and the place was covered with blood splatter.

Other tanks meanwhile bombard other places across the base target every two seconds, like camps, gates, makeshift barracks, armory, etc.

They also turned on their RWS to start eliminating foot mobiles that were now running in all directions panicking.

*BRATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*

*BRATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*

*BRATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*

*BRATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!*

The soldiers were obliterated and torn by the .50 cal rounds that cut through their plate armors like a knife cutting through butter. Some were also decapitated and amputated, leaving their limbs scattered as they lose blood quickly.

While all of this was happing, the chief admiral that was tasked with bringing a naval force out to the Gulf of Drasthma - Admiral Claren Jacob, is at the area to inspect and find out what had just happened to his ships yesterday.

He and his other officials under his command were in the naval port where three of his ships were also under maintenance and resupply. That’s where they also hear and see the explosions in their base coming from the Abrams tanks as they are now bombarding the base.

They all look in horror and are very shocked as they wonder why are they being attacked this early in the war, and where do the attacking forces coming from.

Almeda Official 3 : “ ADMIRAL! WE ARE BEING UNDER ATTACKED! “

The official said while looking through his monocular scope, watching the massacre unfold.

The ship crews and soldiers also watch the bombardment with them at the distance, when Admiral Claren quickly advises his officials to prepare for an evacuation as soon as possible.

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ THEY MUST BE RIMANS! THEY MUST’VE USED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEIR MOVE AGAINST US WHILE WE ARE STILL UNDERPOWERED! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE! “

Almeda Official 2 : “ BUT ADMIRAL! OUR SHIPS ARE STILL UNDER MAINTENANCE! THEY CAN’T SAIL YET! “

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ THEN WE’LL USE HORSES! PREPARE THOSE HORSES QUICK!“

All of his officials and some of the soldiers then ran towards their stable to use some of their horses for their immediate evacuation while dodging bullet rounds whizzing upon them, and explosions blasting around the area.

As they went into their stable, some of the horses are panicking around because of the ongoing attack some are smashing through the walls and gates of the stable.

The officials with the help of some of their soldiers, manage to let out six horses and they quickly went back towards Admiral Claren with the six horses they managed to set out.

…

With the whole base still under fire from the Abrams tanks, the admiral finally sees the horses together with his officials. But some were killed by the bullets and blasts from the tanks. Nevertheless, the soldiers that accompanied them continued to bring the horses to the admiral.

Upon realizing this instantly, he didn’t hesitate to mount on a horse and asked some of his officials to join up with him.

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ ALL OF YOU! SAVE YOURSELVES! “

He said to his fellow officials and soldiers as he rides on to escape together with his other officials who survived the ordeal.

With that, they quickly use their horses to run outside the base, and to the other side to escape the ongoing attack by the tanks. But, as soon as they went to the other side of the base, they are very shocked again as they see their soldiers being killed one by one as they run towards the exit gate of the west side of the base.

Numerous bodies are already piled and scattered across the gate and gradually, little to no one would ever run again towards the exit because of this.

They stop their horses and grab their swords holstered by their hips.

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ TSK! EVERYONE! PREPARE FOR A FIGHT! AAAAAAARRRGH! “

The admiral said to his fellow officials while raising their swords forward and dashing towards the exit. All of them shout as they charge on towards the exit.

“ ARRRRRRG - “

“ ARHHGGGG - “

But, as they exit the gates, one by one, the officials behind the admiral were getting shot and killed. They fell on their horses while still charging with their horses. Still, the admiral continues to charge without hesitation as he sees his comrades being killed one by one.

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHH! “

…

Until the last shot is heard and he is now the last one remaining. He looks on his right side and sees the last of his officials got shot in the torso and falls down on his horse. With him dead, the horse stops and wanders around the area.

The admiral stops his horse and looks behind. He sees all of his officials on the ground lifelessly and with blood flowing out of their bodies.

Feeling very devastated and hopeless, he loses grip of his sword and tears start to flow out of his eyes.

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ …Wha-....What happened? “

In the distance, the faint explosions and sounds of machine-gun fire finally stop after a couple of seconds. The admiral then hears voices shout at him to his left side by the forest.

[ ??? A ] : “ HANDS UP! “

[ ??? B ] : “ DON’T MOVE! OR WE WILL SHOOT YOU! “

He then looks to the origin of the voices and sees two men wearing bulky grass clothes and pointing strange rifles at him.

Because he felt very hopeless and depressed, he just doesn’t know what to do anymore and continued to cry tears. He then unmounts off of his horse and raises his both hands in the air.

A couple of seconds later, another four of them emerge from the bushes and trees with their rifles pointing in all directions. Two of them start to walk toward the admiral while pointing their suppressed rifles at him.

[ ??? C ] : “ Stay where you are and don’t make a move! “

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ Ye-yes… “

[ ??? F ] : “ We got you covered. “

[ ??? G ] : “ Go, you two. “

…

When they are finally at the admiral’s place, one of them picks up the sword on the ground to secure it, while the other one is still pointing the rifle at the admiral.

[ ??? D ] : “ Weapon secured. You got him. “

[ ??? C ] : “ Rog’. “

The one that is pointing his rifle at the admiral then grabs a zip cuff and starts to cuff the admiral, while the other one grabs and pushes something on his vest as he talks on it.

[ ??? D ] : “ We got him. Over. “

Then a faint voice emanates from his vest.

“ Roger that. Bring him to the Assault Group. They will take care of him. “

[ ??? D ] : “ Copied. “

*psssh!*

The two ghillied men then grab the admiral on his both arms as they walk back to the base target.

…

…

Minutes later, as the two Abrams tanks from the 1st Armored, and units from the 4th and 5th Platoons of Black Company, swoop into the base target, they see numerous corpses flowing with blood, scattered across the ruined base. Debris and chunks of wood and metal are seen everywhere.

[ Black 4-1 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Go go go! Group by fireteams and secure the area! “

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Dang. Look at this place! “

[ Black 4-15 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Those tanks really did a good job. “

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Yeah. Good job on destroying this place into smithereens. “

Black 4-6 and Black 4-15 then stumble upon a destroyed camp. They approach the entrance on each side, ready to head inside.

[ Black 4-15 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Aight. You take this side while I take the right side. On my mark... “

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ ...Ready. “

[ Black 4-15 , 6th Bn. ] : “ …Go! “

They quickly went inside with their rifles drawn. They scan the place and only see destroyed furniture and a couple of amputated corpses.

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Clear left. “

[ Black 4-15 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Clear right. “

Then, as they exit the destroyed camp, they see from meters away, three men, with two on ghillie suits, and a cuffed man, approaching them. The apprehended man is wearing an officer uniform, which indicated that he must be a very important officer here. He also seemed very down while looking down on the ground with a depressed face.

The two Black Units approach the three and ask who the cuffed man is.

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Oh. Look what we have here. Did he try to escape? “

The two ghillied men then hand over the admiral to them.

[ F.C. ] [ O.T. 5 ] [ Rotter 3-14 ] : “ Yeah. He and his other men dashed towards the western area with their horses. “

[ F.C. ] [ O.T. 5 ] [ Rotter 3-17 ] : “ We’ll leave them in your care. POW Protocol right? “

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Yes. We got this. “

The two ghillied men then go back to their positions inside the forest to regroup and continue with their mission.

As for the admiral, Black 4-15 grabs his left arm and walks back to their main group force with Black 4-6. While they are walking, the admiral is looking at the devastated area with extreme horror. Burning wrecks and debris, with some litter in blood, and human remains of his soldiers and sailors, span across the entire base.

Then, upon looking at the Almeda Kingdom flag in a tattered state, his heart shrinks as he screams and tries to struggle away.

[ Adm. Claren ] : “ WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! “

The two units that were holding the admiral were surprised. They holstered their rifles quickly and apprehend the cuffed admiral as they struggle to do it and eventually wrestles him to the ground.

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?! ARRGH! HEY GET A HOLD ON HIS LEGS!“

[ Black 4-17 , 6th Bn. ] : “ OKAY! “

After a quick struggle, the admiral got unconscious and was finally apprehended by the two units. Eventually, some of the units from the same platoon sees them and come by to see what was happening. They see the two men apprehending an unconscious man on the ground.

[ Black 5-11 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Whoa! Who’s this guy? “

[ Black 5-19 , 6th Bn. ] : “ You guys alright? “

They then help grab the unconscious admiral off the ground.

[ Black 4-6 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Ye-yeah. We’re fine. Let’s just get this fucker to the base. “

With that, they went back to the Abrams tanks formation to wait for the link-up and RTB.

…

When suddenly, as they rendezvous back to the formation, a helicopter can be heard from the distance.

CASTLEGATE 1-3’s tank commander comes out of his hatch and radios all of the units in the area.

< CASTLEGATE 1-3 > < Defensor > : “ *radio* All units, this is Defensor. Good job everyone. Sir Harvey will be here in a couple of minutes to collect all of the intel you guys have found. “

…

After a couple of minutes, the Blackhawk silhouette emerges from the dark sky and hovers a hundred meters above near the base target. Inside the Blackhawk, are Sir Harvey, and some of the other GOLF Operators from ROSTWELLER. They also had finished gathering the intel that was found on Base Target 1 at the Dittol Bay earlier.

As the Blackhawk hovers above, its spotlight turns on and illuminates the destroyed base and its force group units.

[ THUNDER 2 Co-pilot ] : */ Looks like target two is also the same. Good riddance. /*

[ THUNDER 2 Pilot ] : */ Yeah. Elevation check. /*

[ THUNDER 2 Co-pilot ] : */ About 400 AGL. /*

[ THUNDER 2 Pilot ] : */ Roger. Sir. We’re two-mikes out. /*

Looking down at the base target by the ride side of the helicopter door with the first crew chief, Harvey also sees some of the apprehended survived Almeda Soldiers all lined up in one area close to the force units.

[ Harvey ] : “ *mic* Got it! Also, looks like there are some that survived the attack! Quite the contrary on the opposite side. “

[ THUNDER 2 First Crew Chief ] : */ Should we bring them inside of the chopper, sir? /*

[ Harvey ] : “ *mic* Nah. They are quite many of them. The units will bring them to the naval base. We’re just here for the intel. “

[ THUNDER 2 First Crew Chief ] : */ Understood sir. /*

But then, as Harvey continues to inspect the POWs in the area, he sees a man in a distinguished officer uniform, laying on the ground unconsciously.

[ Harvey ] : “ *mic* Hm? Wait a minute. Who’s that guy? “

After a couple more seconds, the Blackhawk finally touched down on a wide area near the base target. Harvey quickly steps out of the Blackhawk and proceeds inside the base to meet up with their unit forces.

There, he is then greeted by leaders of the 4th and 5th Platoon of Black Company, the tank commanders of the 1st Cavalry, and from the “Eradicator”. A small handshake ensues and they guided Harvey to a place where they gathered all of the intel they managed to collect.

After that, Harvey instructs some of the units to help him bring all of the intel inside the Blackhawk. Some of the units start to carry the intel to the Blackhawk, while the tank commanders went back to their respective tanks.

…

As they were carrying all of the intel, Harvey approaches the POWs in the area. All of them are looking at Harvey crying with deep horror.

Harvey inspects them for a second, then his gaze went back to the unconscious man on the ground. He approaches it and asks a unit about him.

[ Harvey ] : “ Uhm. Do you know who’s this guy? He is well dressed. He must be the one who is in charge of this base. “

He said as he looks at a unit and points the man on the ground. The unit then approaches him and grabs a paper in his pouch.

[ Black 5-2 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Yes sir. His name was probably Admiral Claren Jacob based on this paper we have found inside his coat. “

Harvey grabs the paper and reads it.

[ Harvey ] : “ Knew it. Aight. Help me bring this fella to the chopper as well. “

[ Black 5-2 , 6th Bn. ] : “ Yes sir. “

Black 5-2 then grabs the unconscious admiral to the Blackhawk together with the other units on their intel extraction.

…

…

…

Meanwhile, back at H.Q. …

Inside a room of the Main Operations Building, Karma 1-1 is now briefing the classified units from the TIER 1 SOFDs.

[ G.I.D. Chief ] [ Karma 1-1 ] : “ Confirming the successful operation of the scenario, airlift lockdown has been now lifted and ROEs on the classified operation is now in effect. Expect t-minus 1 hour of preparation while we wait for Sir Harvey. Understood? “

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ G.I.D. ] [ SIERRA 01 ] : “ Roger. “

 

 

[ G.I.D. ] [ ROMEOS ] : “ Copied. "
