The World of Guns: The Battle for Lisana Naval Shipyard
THE BATTLE FOR LISANA NAVAL SHIPYARD.
DAY 23.
RANK: ADMIRAL.
FUNDS: 35,000,000.
Tyler woke the morning of the third day's sail holding rey as tightly as he could. The last three days since the meeting with president hara had seen the pair unwilling to part for even an hour. Much to the amusement of the rest of the squad. Tyler smiled as he kissed his beloved girlfriend awake and she smiled up at him.
"I love you too, Gore."
"Morning Rey."
He kissed her again and they got into an intense makeout session that saw her shafted and the morning sex was on. Another thing that had picked up was their insatiable lust for each other. THAT had increased to the point of near addiction and Selena had sighed with a smile as they locked the door for the umptheenth time that day.
"Great. Now they went full addict on each other. Cute as that is."
Rey got her longed for orgasm and cream before she smiled.
"We'll win this."
He kissed her deeply.
"Of course we will. we have US."
"Now GET up there."
The plan this time around was simple. Tyler would load into a looted biplane and fly to the allied base where he'd swap for his monowing which would be waiting for him. then he'd rain hell upon the enemy forces while the girls used the aircraft carrier as a shield to lob shells at enemy infrastructure until his swap was completed. The plan was hazardous and extremely risky, but it was the one they'd chosen. Tyler got dressed and Rey smiled as he kissed her. Then he took his spot at the bridge. Selena passed him a monoscope and he looked to the distance where a series of brightly flashing lights and the dull boom of thunder was heard from the ongoing battle.
"Lisana Shipyard. Alright. STATIONS!"
Selena tossed him a radio and he turned the thing on.
"RAzgriz to allied ground command, come in. RAzgriz for Allied Ground command, we are on station awaiting fire command."
A WOMAN'S voice washeard this time and with EXTREME relief.
"Razgriz? The Demons of Tragonia? Thank GOD. Chief Officer Gloria Merchantica. We need those battleships taken out ASAP!"
"Is my plane handy?"
"As a mtter of fact it is. field one."
"Ha. Warm her engine up. Goreleech looking for landing swap out."
"Understood. We're in dire straits here. teh Nazricks have us pinned and we can't retreat."
"we're NOT going to retreat. Have my plane readied and refueled. I'll be on the ground in ten."
"Understood."
Tyler put the radio up and looked at rey.
"Let's do this."
The soldier ran for the light aircraft carrier beside the hulking dreadnought where a bristol f1 was waiting on the catapult. Wisp tossed him his goggles as he vaulted into the cockpit.
"We got this. GO!"
He was launched into the air with a scream and found the iconic buplane rather EASY to fly when held up to his more familar monowing. Elizabeth then took the shadow of the aircraft carrier as the pair of warships got into position to attack the port. All the while several squadrons and a few ships broke off the attack to deal with the new force. The powerful guns of the dreadnought opened up with thundering roars and unnerving accuracy that saw a set of four ships taking direct hits. Tyler was also having problems as a flight of four monowing fighters were chasing him on his low level flight to the allied camp. The more agile planes were firing in sync AND were scoring hits on his slower and lesser agile biplane.
"OOOOH I HATE THESE things!"
He exploded over the land now and found the area to resemble a north African region complete with deserts in the distance and a laong railroad cutting it neatly in half. The soldier spotted the allied line and smirked as he spotted a familar red hued shape sitting on a dirt runway.
"Bailout swap."
The allied AA guns opened up and the four planes behind him broke off to evade, but one lucky bastard fired a rocket and scored a clean hit on Tyler's wing. The explosion tore the piece off and Tyler bailed out of the thing mid roll to drop 50 feet to the ground in a roll before he neatly valted into his monowing. He smiled as he slammed the canopy shut and got the thing taxying down the runway. The feed of the battle was playing for the world and as he climbed into the air Rey's voice was heard on his radio.
"Razgriz 1 this is Elizabeth. Mobius is crippled and we are taking hits. Request IMMEDAITE support."
"The demon is in my love."
Tyler had the upgraded plane on a dash to the sea battle where he saw his ship and friends getting peppered from close to 5 different ships with the remains of 7 more sinking in the waves.
"wow. Liz is a tough bitch. weapons free."
He charged a battleship and pulled one of the 15 pound bombs from a basket and threw the thing into the window of the bridge on a pass and the resulting blast took out the ENTIRE command for the hefty battleship. Then he was corkscrewing around an aircraft carrier's flight deck upon which he dropped a bomb clean onto a pile of OTHER BOMBS to be loaded on other planes. The resulting explosion tore open the flight deck and rendered the thing unable to service aircraft. The next ship was a destoryer and he dropped TWO bombs on a turret and the blast set off the shells inside the barrels. teh result saw the bow torn completely off the thing and the ship sinking. He then leveled out and tore up through a squadron of biplanes with his more accurate guns shredding their engine housings and so threw him out of the main battle. The skilled pilot had his plane arc around to see the crippled aircraft carrier take a full salvo from the Elizabeth and explode outright.
"That battleship is next. Then we can get into the port proper. Status!"
Selena's voice came over the radio.
"wse're fine and the damage is NOT as bad as it looks. A few wounds but nothing a medpack couldn't heal. Ammo is good."
"Alright. Mobius."
"She's crippled and listing, Tyler. She'll need to be refloated but she took one HELL of a beating. ten salvos and ten direct hits."
"Alright. we'll sink that battleship and move on."
The highly skilled group moved to their tasks with Tyler dive bombing the battleship's fore turret with three bomsb impacting from above before he leveled out. The resulting explosion sent out a minor shockwave that rocked some of the smaller vessels on their keels and the battleship started sinking nearly instantly. Tyler smiled and did an ammo check on his own plane.
"Still got half reserves. All hands fire on the city. Gloria. Razgriz 1 moving to air superiority."
The breathy voice of the thus far unseen commander was full of gratitude.
"YOU are a GOD, sir. Air Superority acknowledged."
Tyler went after the dozens of biplanes in the sky now while his friends moved the battered dreadnought into a better position to fire their massive shells into the city proper. The sky rained 16 inch shells from the efficent crew and many an enemy position was blown to high hell because of them.
In the sky it was raining planes with Tyler's extremely nimble monowing dancing circles around the bigger biplanes and he smiled as he danced and jousted with them. every pass he made saw one to three planes falling either from the pilot taking a hit or the engine gettign shot to hell or even the wings getting shredded. Tyler chuckled as he shot down his 15th plane in a row before a massive grey shadow appeared from a cloud. He sighed.
"Heads up. Zepplin airship entering the AO."
Rey's cheery voice was heard then.
"I got it."
Elzabeth's cannons bellowed with all 16 shells landing squarely in the blimp's hide.....and the resulting fireball was simply BREATHTAKING. It resembled the sun from a cose up view but with more thunder and a NASSSTY shockwave that threw many a fighter pilot off their game. Tyler rode the shockwave with a climb and whistled at the instakill on the zepplin.
"I fucking love you, Rey. Good kill."
She giggled happily as he shot down the last biplane with the last batch of bullets in his guns.
"Sky's squeaky. landing to resupply."
Gloria's awestruck voice was heard.
"Understood. So THIS is the legendary Razgriz Squadron? No WONDER they took Huelit nigh singlehandedly."
Tyler landed his plane at the strip and the resupply was accomplished in 60 seconds before he moved back into the sky.
"Razgriz 1. Moving to close air support. Ready for tasking."
A soldier's voice was heard.
"Razgriz 1 this is Tanker 4, grid 2 3 77 2. Enemy Artillery emplacement in open. fire for effect, over."
Tyler spotted the line of 75mm guns in an intersection and smiled.
"Target spotted. Danger close everyone."
He dropped a mass of bombs on the guns and they went wih a bang before a line of Mark IV tanks clattered into the area.
"Razgriz 1. Charlie company. Grid 3 266 4. MAss enemy cluster. Request dusting, over."
"roger that."
This time it was a trench emplacement in the middle of a street's intersection and Tyler dropped a twenty poundr in the dead center. The result? A blood rain and the trench being captured. Rey;s voice was heard now.
"Gore, use a few spotting flares. We'll see the targets on our reticules."
"Love you too, Shadow."
And he flew over a line of trenches, dropping numerous red glowing flares that highlighted the enemy positons on the ship's firing controls as places to put the reticule and the resulting rain of shells decimated the ranks to a rather surprising extent. Tyler smiled as he saw this as a loud whistle was heard from the enemy line.
"They've called for a retreat. All cannons, chase them. flares incoming."
The retreat of the enemy from Lisana Shipyard was a gauntlet of hell as Tyler's flares marked them perfectly for the long reaching 16 inch shells of the Queen Elizabeth and his own bombs. Once his fuel tank demanded he return did he break off the pursuit and allow the enemy to set their new lines four miles from the outskirts of Lisana. He landed his monowing at the airfield and smiled as a beautiful lady with black hair and bright green eyes came marching over in a pale blue military jacket and pants. her frame was slender from her life as a soldier and jer skin was pale while her hair was tied in a neat ponytail. Her bust was massive on her frame and she smiled gratefully as Tyler leapt out of his plane.
"Thank you."
The Soldier smiled warmly at the lady.
"Be glad we got cut off from the main fleet. I'm Goreleech."
The woman pounced on him for a right throttler of a hug.
"Gloria. Commander of the Italican 6th brigade. An honor sir!"
He hugged the vastly relieved lady tightly.
"Relax. fun's over."
She smiled at him for that....and kissed him on the lips with a surprising passion. He smiled and pinned the lady against his plane for a PROPER makeout session that left her breathless.
"Oh my."
"OH yeah. And have no fear. Arrangements have been made."
Gloria smiled at this permission and kissed him.
"Anything for YOU, my HERO."
"Well. Looks like YOU'RE gonna have a lotta fun. Rey should be walking up....NOW."
"GORELEECH."
Tyler chuckled at the ice cold razor filled voice of his girlfriend and he twirled a blushing Gloria to the foot tapping blonde.
"She's like Candice."
Rey caught the black haired military leader, bent her on her knee and kissed her DEEPLY and poor Gloria was red in the FACE at this attack before moaning into Rey's skilled mouth. Then the blonde smiled sweetly.
"I'm Rey. Gore's NUMBER ONE. we clear?"
Gloria smiled happily.
"Of course, Lady Rey! You're m hero too!"
"Oh."
Tyler chuckled as he walked over.
"Yeah. I figured it out soon as she pounced. Not ENTIRELY sure what her relationship bonus is yet, but we'll figure it out."
Gloria was released and the pink eyed blonde looked at the Soldier.
"Elizabeth's docked in the port and getting a HEAVY refit. Mobius too. We'll need to clear the remainder of the Nazericks from the city before we can open it as a hub. Selena has the rest of the crew helping with repairs to Mobius until we regroup."
"Good. how bad?"
"The repairs are being done for free since we KINDA took this port alone and saved her ass, same with resupply. But Elizabeth was taking on water and Mobius nearly sank entirely. It was a close one."
He nodded and Gloria recovered from her passion to assist.
"We'll need your help to properly secure the city, Goreleech, Rey."
Tyler smiled as he pulled his Carcano out.
"we'll get it done. Start a street by street, building by building sweep. When will we get reinforcements to better secure the town?"
Gloria led them to her command tent and slid a paper over.
"LAtest from high command."
TYler looked and sighed.
"Perfect. Looks like the other players are stuck on floor one for the time being. we're cut off from their support unless we go and break the enemy line from behind in a land battle. WITHOUT out train OR our planes. Since there's no airfield out there."
Rey frowned.
"I thought the only way to the second floor was through a port?"
"It WAS the only way. Then we got through it. Now we can open up differing spots to reach the floor from above."
"OOOH. I don't really get it?"
"Hmm. we opened up the main entrypoint, and can now work to open up more from the other side."
"OOOOH. I feel stupid now. So we'll have to bail them out.....AGAIN?"
TYler sighed as he rubbed his eyes.
"Ya know what? no. we are NOT bailing them out again. For FUCK SAKE I cleared TWO trenches, captured THREE DEPOTS, TWO RAIL YARDS, 2 AIRFIELDS, AND HELPED YOUR TRENCHES ALONE! Why the FUCK should WE have to do everything FOR them? No. Not this time."
Rey nodded approvingly.
"GOOD. Seriously. Grow some freakin balls! I did. Kinda. And look. I can freakin sail a battleship and pilot a world war one fighter plane alone."
Gloria was just smiling as the pair spoke in a language she didn't understand as her programming prevented her from hearing things like that. Tyler kissed Rey and then Gloria before the man looked at the paperwork.
"we'll secure the town and set up shop here. use it as a base to push Nazerick back. Once the ships are repaired we'll so some coastal raids on their trenchlines and fleets. We do this right we can literally push them off the coast and AWAY from the port. And if those idiots are worth anything, they'll break through on their own."
Rey nodded and hefted her krag Jorgensan as the pair headed for the first street to be cleared. As they walked, Bridget appeared on the screen.
"I heard and sent the word to Hara. Tyler? You're right."
Tyler looked at the brown haired advisor.
"I am NOT going to EVERYTHING for them."
"NOR should you. We'll make sure those idiots understand you are NOT there to hold their hand."
"Good. We'll get back at it."
The screen closed and Tyler smiled as he and rey went to properlu secure the city. Selena appeared on a videocall and the soldier looked at her.
"Street by street sweep. Once we're done the city will be secured."
"Understood. we'll pull security on the ships. Support?"
"we're it. Those idiots are gonna have to grow some freakin balls since I am tired of having to bail them out EVERY DAMN TIME THEY GET INTO A TIGHT SPOT. And they're supposed to be professional soldiers?"
Selena sighed at that one.
"Most soldiers never see actual combat anymore, Tyler. And that has come back to HAUNT us."
"YOUR crew?"
"four tours in Irag and afganistan during the bad years respectively. Prior to that we were part of desert storm."
"Good enough. Kicker is REY was a highschool girl before entering the game and she's a better shot an YOU."
The pink eyed blonde smiled at the high praise and selena chuckled.
"Because she had the better teacher. But you're right. My crew is going to LOVE you."
"Ha."
"Idiot."
Tyler and Rey were walking along a main street with a Mark V tank clattering behind them hunting leftover enemy forces and the soldier tilted his head at the heavy tank.
"I'dda gone with a renault. That's me though."
Rey shrugged as she scanned windows and alleys.
"eh. Those 6 pounder guns can take out a house in one hit."
"I guess. Same time is KINDA stuck."
"Love you too."
He kissed her as they came to an abandoned trenchline that cut the city neatly in half with a ten foot wide ditch. Tyler looked at the 7 foot deep glorified ditch curiously when he had a thought.
"Heeeeeey, Gloria? Just a QUESTION."
The infatuated commander responded to his radio call nearly INSTANTLY.
"What can i do to you, My Hero?"
"Sexy and WE will rail you later. The trenches. Are we SURE they're NOT rigged to...I dunno....BLOW from a DYNAMITE switch?"
Rey blinked.
"Operation Lockpick."
Gloria's now on edge voice was heard then.
"Clear the city and we'll get some demo boys in there. THAT is a SCARY idea."
Tyler looked in the trench and tossed an antitank bundle into the thing before taking Rey to the ground. The bundle blew and a mass of dynamite went off with enough force to LAUNCH the now making out couple through the air and flip the Mark V tank clean on it's roof. The lovers were unharmed due to the blast being directed UPWARDS and OUTWARDS over the rim of the trench with them only getting a mild effect. Tyler landed cleanlyt on his feet and Rey beside him as a series of other blasts went off throughout the city from soldiers tossing antitank bundles into the now hazardous trenches. Selena called up.
"What the fuck just happened?"
"NAzerick used operation Lockpick for a playbook."
"Ah. Classic."
"Yup. we're fine."
"Of course you are. Well. we're set. A few loners tried to board Mobius, but ran into the terminator with dual 1887s."
"Niiice. We'll get back to it."
The duo walked through the settling dustcloud to find the formerly ten foot wide trench was now 40 with a gentle slope and flat bottom. Close to fifteen buildings had been reduced to rubble by the blast and the result was a rather creepy resemblence to a certain city in a world war that got bombed to high hell. Tyler whistled as he saw the attempting to charge Nazerick army on the other side of the dustcloud but the men had been caught by surprise by a CLEARLY PREMATURE detonation and were not even in formation.
"Alright. Gloria. Counterattack's here."
"We know."
A line of renault light tanks appeared from behind the duo and their 37mm cannons opened up on the now backpeddling counterattack.
"we're prepared."
"NIIICE. Selena?"
"Elizabeth's secondary batteries are locked and loaded. Just need firing coordianates."
He and Rey loaded flare guns and fired the things high over the main unit of the counterattack force.
"flares detected. Range locked. Grid locked. 8 inch guns....THUNDER!"
Tyler and Rey were doing some rapid sniping with their rifles as thunder did indeed ring out over the city before 16 eight inch shells impacted in the mass of the Nazerick force that had now been pinned inside the city with only the way they came from available for retreating. The Allied Forces had them hemmed in from three directions with lines of eager soldiers and clattering armor while the sky was empty due to a lack of planes on EITHER side. the sea was empty as well save for Elizabeth and Mobius. The battle for Lisana Shipyard ended after thre remaining Nazerick forces surrendered after having close to THREE QUARTERS of their ENTIRE force blown to high hell. Tyler found out later the force had numbered 75,000 men, 1,500 tanks, 15 ships, 500 planes at the time the elizabeth and the Mobius entered the bay. The REMAINTS? 25,000 nazerick still lived. The ships had been sunk, the tanks destoryed, and the planes shot down. Tyler smiled widely as he saw the results of the battle and the fact their single ship had done THAT MUCH DAMAGE so quickly. Three salvos from the 16 inch guns had accounted for 11 ships ALONE. elizabeth had leveled up to level 5 in that hellish battle and every member of Razgris earned 20 mil for the entire operation. The friends were gathered in the war room of their dreadnought with beer in hand to both celebrate and plan their next voyage along with the upgrades to the ship itself. Tyler had a bottle in his hand as he tapped the port of Lisana.
"well done everyone. The port is ours now."
Selena chuckled as they all clin ked beers.
"That wasn't as bad as i feared. Even the close calls weren't that bad."
Rey chuckled as she looked at the second blonde.
"Like I said. We've been through worse. Only REAL problem was getting Gore airbourne. Once he WAS, it got significantly easier."
John nodded as he took a drink from a bottle of jeagermiester.
"We went into this battle overestimating the strength of our enemies and planned accordingly. And so when they were revealed to be weaker then anticipated?"
Tyler smiled.
"Why do ya think I played it up like I did?"
The group looked at him in mild shock and the soldier chuckled.
"Nothing fuels the limbs then the knowledge of certain death. I had faith in my crew and our ship. We'dda been fine. BUT."
Here he looked at them squarely.
"We SUCK. Do not forget that. We won this fight. But we are FAR from winning this war. No matter HOW it looks, I will NOT have us getting cocky. even with our numbers max'ed out, a SINGLE 22 cal to the face and we die. THAT'S ALL IT TAKES."
Neo nodded approvingly.
"we ARE skilled. Never you doubt that. BUT we are NOT the best."
"Gamer wisdom. NEVER get ahead a yerself."
Wisp nodded sagely.
"And high stats DO NOT equal high skill. In the words of Qi-Gon-Jin, there's always a bigger fish."
Tyler chuckled at that wisdom before refocusing.
"The Shipyard is secure and will be used as a staging grounds for any further major operations in the area. Gloria, the commander, is an NPC with a relationship bonus like Candice. What that bonus is, I don't know. But myself and Rey are working her hard to find that out. In the meantime, the ship is now level 5. we have access to a rather large selection of upgrades and the funds to do FOUR OF THEM right now. I, for one, want the armor upgraded and the deck reinforced. The GREATEST WEAKNESS of ANY battleship in this era, was insufficant antiair defenses."
John sat back in his chair at that.
"My grandfather served aboard a world war 1 vessel during the last years. You are completely correct. Shall we focus on our DEFENSE more then our OFFENSE?"
Britbitch222 looked at the bigger man with a thoughtful expression.
"That's NOT a bad idea, John. Our offense is ENTIRELY improv. TYLER has taken tanks out with a KNIFE. On a dare. I say defense."
emma smiled.
"I suggest we increase our arsenal of equipment and tools. as well as our defenses."
The votes were cast all in favor of defense and Tyler smiled.
"Kinda fun, being captain of a sea deck. Alright. we'll put money into a better deck and hull armor. That'll cost us 15,000,000. We have 50,000,000. we'll have 35,000,000 after. As for Emma's suggestion? We'll have a catapult for my monowing installed on the bow. THAT alone will open up a wealth of options for our next engagment."
Selena frowned as she looked at a map of the ship.
"I see where you're going, Tyler? But that would mean we'd need to increase her displacement accordingly along with her powerplant. I'd say HOLD on the fly off ramp until the next heavy upgrades."
"That's fair. Increased ammo, fuel, and food reserves then."
"THAT is a MUCH better option. And will take 20 mil."
"The rest will be to have the displacement and powerplants adjusted accordingly. during the overhaul, we'll do some land based sorties as all our vehicles are on station."
Rey looked at the map of their current floor.
"This is an ISLAND port, right?"
"No actually. it's the mainland. And there's a number of other allied lines in trouble further along the coast. And remember the other port. we CAN go after it as well using our tanks. we have enough hands to crew them well now and we can also use it as practice for the next floor kinda sorta since the Black Forest will be HEAVILY tank focused."
Selena looked up from the map.
"And our new shooters?"
Tyler smiled.
"Once refit is complete, we'll attack the fleet blockading Huelit. we've proven we CAN do it. And we'll take Mobius with us for both air support AND extra defenses for the battleship."
Paige chuckled.
"I thought you weren't GOING to help the player base, Tyler?"
"I'm not. This is for OUR purposes. It just so HAPPENS to be benefitting them. The newbies will be waiting at the port for our linkup and then we'll head back to Lisana. after that, I want to head HERE."
He tapped an island in the dead center of the map.
"Helia Island. It's location puts it at DEAD CENTER of ANY Nazerick shipping lane. Currently, it is under HEAVY Nazerick control. BUT. if we take it, and SECURE IT with an allied fleet, we can then start to disrupt the supply lines for nearly EVERYTHING below that point."
Selena whistled as the daring plan was laid out.
"Secure reinforcements, rearm, then assault a key link in the enemy supplyline with a VIABLE plan to ALSO destabilze the entire region. You're not a teenager anymore, Tyler. You're a soldier now."
Tyler chuckled before he tapped Heilit.
"This one here is the big one. if we take it, Indominus WILL appear in these waters to retake the island due to it's importance. We take the Indominus, we can launch a beach assault here."
He tapped another mass of land near the top of the map.
"Harra Naval Shipyard. The single most well defended port in the entire floor. We COULD attack it RIGHT NOW. But. So long as Indominus is afloat, the 450,000 man defense force's spirits will be high."
Selena smirked then.
"They included morale in this game too?"
"Yup."
"And so you're attacking their morale."
"It gets low enough, they'll surrender as soon as the defending fleet is sunk. even their shocktroopers are vulnerable to this weakness."
Natti had a thought.
"So what if a ship OTHER then the Indominus appears?"
"Well. Indominus is the top dog in these waters. That said? There are a few other names we'll need to keep an eye out for. One is the Heavy aircraft carrier Bahmit. Thing is three times the size of Mobius and her battlegroup has 10 ships. she's basically the grandmother of the world war 2 heavy carrier. The next up is the Bizmat. An antiship destroyer with 24 twenty-four inch guns and NASSSTY antiair defenses. She's a lone wolf acredited thirty ships sunk to her name. and last is Leviathan. Another dreadnought that's Indominus' sister ship. They are IDENTICAL except for a single blood red line on the portside of Leviathan. From the intel we have on her, that line is used for docking and loading of cargo. Once the line is level with the dock she's good to go."
Rey sat back with her own beer.
"Which are we sinking and which are pirating?"
"I want them ALL. All together the ships make up the Leviathan Battlegroup. a Legendary set of ships that, when in the same group, gain bonuses."
Avi whistled at that.
"NAsty. So what's our first step captain?"
"We'll relax tonight. HAve a breather and a beer. In the morning, Elizabeth will be put in the slew for her upgrades and we'll take the tanks out for a land assault on Hungri Port. By which point the civilains will have been evacuated. So we can go ham on the port. So LONG as the docks are NOT damaged."
They nodded and Tyler smiled as he lifted his beer.
"But that's a tomorrow problem. Tonight? To RAZGRIZ!"
"RAZGRIZ!"
The friends threw their drinks back as one before they went to the cavernous mess hall for a round of pizza and good food for a battle well fought and valiently won. That night saw Tyler and rey once again buried under the bodies of the eager girls for their nightly orgy and the pair smiled as they settled in each other's arms.
"I love you, Rey."
"I love you too, Gore. Best one yet."
He smiled as she rested her head on his chest while Taylor panted facedown in Rey's large bosom.
"Good night, Rey. I love you."
"Good night, Gore. I love you too."
"Night ladies! We loved you!"
"Cocky prick."
IT FEELS WEIRD BEING ASHORE NOW. HEY. GO WITH IT.
DAY 24.
RANK: ADMIRAL.
FUNDS: 1,000,000.
Tyler woke to the sight of Rey asleep beside him in his captain's bed and the pink eyed blonde was pressed right against him with his arms around her in a protective manner. All around them a cocoon of naked women had formed with them in the middle and the soldier smiled at how warm it was. He kissed Rey awake and she smiled lovingly at him.
"Good morning."
"I love you."
Her pink eyes were shining as she smiled at him and he held her tightly as they enjoyed the peace of the moment before she smiled.
"Let's sneak out."
The lovers moved like ghosts out of the pocket of bodies and showered together laughing at the escape before they had breakfast together in the mess hall. Rey smiling as they cuddled on the bench and him stroking her long blonde hair with a happy smile on their faces.
"I love you, Rey."
She rested her head on his chest and he held her tightly.
"I love you too, Gore. we should do this more."
"we will."
"Yay."
The moment passed and the pair switched from lovey dovey teenagers to battle-hardened soldiers as he unrolled the map of the area before them.
"Alright. We'll put the upgrade requests in and head to the motorpool. we've enough hands to fully man a fleet of tanks. Only a question of WHICH ONES we take."
Rey set their collection of pamphlets out on the table before them before tapping Rhino. Their St Chamond.
"This one for once. It's got more experience."
"Plus the Bis, Big Bertha, a renault, and that should wipe out the hands."
"What tank will WE ride, Tyler?"
"Hmmm. The Bis. I understand that one the most and it's the one we can use the MOST of our current armor."
"Make Miho proud."
"It's callsign is Mallards."
"I would be VERY pissed if it WASN'T."
He kissed her and she smiled warmly at the affection before they turned to the day's planning. Tyler tapped the Hungri Port.
"It'll be a slog to get there. Maybe four hours full throttle ride. But, we'll be able to resupply fuel once we reach the allied lines. after resupply, we'll push the Nazericks INTO the sea. their ships will be restrained from firing into the city proper due to it being a tourist trap. but WE don't care."
Rey nodded and bridget appeared on the screen. Tyler looked at the lady.
"Mornin."
She smiled.
"I fed the generals your war plan and the Naval commanders all agree. You're a helluva commander."
"Thank you. and the BAD news?"
She sighed.
"Nazerick retook Tragonia."
"WHAT?"
