The roar of a diesel engine, or so it seemed, was heard in the distance as not one, but THREE IFV's came rolling over the hill, opening fire with several squads of infantry at the wall. "Open fire! Kill every last one of them!" shouts Angel as bullets and rockets started to fly from the walls, only to get a very nasty surprise when the rockets reached the IFV's: The rockets doubled back and headed back at them twice as fast! "Duck!" she shouts before a rocket flew over her and another soldier, blowing up the front of the technical they came here on, and nearly pushing it off of the wall. "What in the name of Gaia was that?!" "I don't know, but they seem to have a few new tricks up their sleeves" says the soldier just as the wall was burned by a heated beam of Ion energy. "They use Ion cannons on those too?!" Holy Emperor Isaiah XaimongkhounAh military intelligence. Got to love it. The GK-I rolled forward and fired one 160mm shell at one of the IFVs. I watched the rockets get launched back at the Aluezi. Then I realized that that shell will be coming right back at- SHIT. I ducked and the shell went right over my head. I hope the gunner saw that and fire- The 160 fired again. The shell came back and hit the right tread. That stopped us, but the gunner fired another one. I got down and looked at the inside. "Got damn it! Stop shooting! Something is sending our shells right back at u-" There was an explosion in the compartment as the shell they just fired went through the armor and exploded. Idiots. They deserved that. I went back to the HPC and tried to shoot. I managed to get three APHE rounds off before it jammed. Hopefully that does something to the IFVs.

The HPC managed to do some severe damage to one of the IFV's, making it unable to fight, which after this became apparent to the crew, they turned tail and started to retreat. The two other IFV's however, remained unaffected and still fired at the wall, burning huge black marks into it and slowly cutting their way into it, only to get a very nasty surprise when a HIND F showed up on the scene, opening fire with a new type of rocket and blowing up the two vehicles. "CHAAARGE!" shouts Angel as the troops scrambled from the burning walls and charged out into the field, gunning down the now fleeing Salnese soldiers, those that tried to fight against the charge of Aluezi were mowed down, and those that didn't run fast enough were chased down and their throats slit. ----- Tod smiled softly and nodded a bit before putting the kit in it's harness, leaning against the railing of the ship before smiling softly to the dragon. Curious creature it was. "Yes, other than that black out which... I am still fuzzy on." he scratches his head before yawning a bit. "Excuse me, I didn't get very well sleep in the hospital, as you can pry imagine" he chuckles and smiles softly. "Can I get you anything, food, drink? Entertainment?"

I pulled myself out of the top of the tank. When the shell went into the compartment, the shrapnel cut my legs where the metal plates weren't covering. Where they were, there were just scratches in the paint. I love this armor.
Once I got out, I looked over at the machinegunner. Dead, just like the rest of the crew. I don't have my machine gun anymore, but I don't even care. I guess we won more or less.
A pair of GK-Is rolled right past me and toward where the enemy was running away. Following them was an AIFV. They definitely need defenses built up.
I took out my cigar case and lit one. I got down on the front, just in front and laid against the turret. Maybe someone will stop and ask if I want a ride.

Just as he thought it, a technical car came skidding to a halt next to him. "I need a gunner, we have incoming on the blind side and we're about to give them a headache!" the driver pointed to the back, which had a 30mm cannon with a chain feed on it. The cannon of course, having the seal of the Anean Empire on the side of it... obviously a piece of hardware they bought from them in the past.
The soldiers continued to chase the fleeing troops before turning back and heading back toward the wall, not yet aware of the attack incoming on the other side of the city. They retook their positions and started to put out the fires on the wall. The stone having been melted by the intense heat from the Ion cannons.

I got into the back of the truck. Amazing timing.
"Alright, sounds like fun. Hopefully these ones don't get shot back at me."
On the side of the gun was the emblem for the Anean Defense Corporation. Based very closely off the ASE's emblem. To the untrained eye, they would look the same.
Still, it's Anean made so it should work perfectly.
"Let's go."

The combat car spun 180 before speeding down the street, skidding around a few corners at around 90 MPH before speeding out the gates, coming to a stop behind a pair of crates before a telescope was extended up and peeked over the top of the crates. "They're on the horizon. Looks like two tanks, Abrams, an Ion Bradley and several soldiers..."
The driver looked back at IX and gave a smile, the elderly human having an almost psychotic grin across his face. "You ready?"

"Well damn. I sure hope a couple GK-Is were following. But yeah, I'm ready. I've fought through worse odds."
A 30mm isn't going to do shit against those. At least not this one. Now if I had a gunship things would be different. Hell, even an AIFV would be nice.
"And what the hell is an Ion Bradley?"

"A Bradley with an Ion Cannon on top of it!" he hit the gas and sped out from behind the crates. "Just kill anything you can!" He began to speed toward the incoming enemies, running a few down before driving OVER one of the tanks like a lunatic. "Never expected that didja?!" he laughs before nearly dodging a shell from the other tank
"Woo! Too close!"

A fleet of bulk grain carriers came close to the republics shore. They flew they red serpents flag. The were followed by refrigerated ships carrying meat.
Though the commonwealth government was not involved the red serpent had once again move to aid people. The people from the south had paid for all the food and the crews were not being paid.
"This is red serpent vessel the Truth, we are not armed and will do what is needed to feed your people. We are unarmed and this is a gift from, the peoples of the commonwealth, not the government. None of us have been paid to come here, we just wish to help."
"We carry grain, meat and accommodation."

I fired at whatever I could with the gun. Then the fool drove over a tank. God damn it.
"Don't fucking do that again! Do you want to get killed!?"
Then the tank shell barely missed him. Maybe it was a mistake to get on this.
Commander Vincenzo Soldavini
A 2nd Lieutenant said, "Sir, there's ships coming in. Should we sink them?"
"Armed?" I asked.
"No sir. They're carrying food. I think they are Cali."
"Alright." I picked up my radio. "Attention Cali ships, this is Commander Soldavini. You're free to enter. Proceed to the Worldport as fast as possible. The... Chancellor will meet your people there. Have whoever is in charge meet him there."

Ash the ships moved to dock it was clear they were not of the commonwealth navy, they didn't even fly the commonwealth's flag. The ships were painted white and the only protection they had was the symbol of the red serpent emblazoned on there sides. Though largely a commonwealth based organization it was not controlled by the government, in fact it was fiercely independent of it or any government control. It maintained a minimal staff and employed only a few full time workers, the rest were volunteers or were paid by sponsoring organizations.
Lea Mantito dr was the first heading down the gang plank as the first ship docked.
The short scruffy, bespectacled vulpine looked about for someone to take charge of the unloading, like most of the red serpent's people she was far more concerned with getting the aid to where it was needed than any politics. With her was a small number of aid assessors.
She turned to talk to one as they walked down the gang plank "How far off is the Faith?" "They are making best speed, should be here in a day or so." "Not f**king good enough, tell them to get here now!" "But.." "People are dieing! F**k the most efficient fuel usage, tell them to get their f**king tails here now!". With that one of her fellow workers was off back up the gang plank. She shouted "Where the f**k are the their people....We've going to need trucks, if this lot isn't going to rot here."
Mantito was very much the kind of person that were the red serpent's back bone, she didn't give a flying f**k about politics, just people. She was looking about for people to help unload and didn't care who they were or what rank they were, even what orders they had. She had in the past commandeered military personnel, passers by, well anyone that could help, usually, in the case of military personnel only halfway threw loading did it occur to them that these were not their orders and she didn't have the rank to give orders.
The thing was she was so brazen about ordering people about and so committed that it put people on their back foot. Most people just did what she told them to not sure why they were doing it other than to save lives.

Chancellor Nakhi Welhan
Food? Why the hell is there food coming anyway? I thought people were already aware that our shipments from Venak arrived the other day. Whatever, I can just bring it to the Citadel.
I guess we stopped at the ships because the back door on my IFV opened and I got out. I went with a convoy of five up to here. Damn DEFCON 1.
One of the soldiers handed me a megaphone. I said, "Attention, this is the New Gracaria Defense Force. Whoever is in charge of these ships is to come out immediately."

Mantito shouted over to Nakhi and said "Right, we need trucks, we need transport."
She shouted at the Nakhi's gaurd "Right this isn't going to unload it self, move! People need f**king fed!"

Chancellor Nakhi Welhan
Excuse me?
I walked over and forcefully grabbed her by the arm. If she complains, that's her problem.
"Listen, who the fuck do you think you are giving orders to my soldiers? You shouldn't even be here! Soldavini violated protocol. Your ships should have been sunk.
"Now quit being a bitch and realize you are no longer in charge here. Treat my soldiers with respect and MAYBE they'll help you. Until then, you're lucky we didn't sink those ships.
"We are at DEFCON 1, so watch where you step. There's rocket artillery, planes, and snipers targeting you and your ships right now just so you know. Watch your actions before you get yourself killed.
"And we don't need the food. We just got at least 50,000 tons of food shipped in from the Andromeda Galaxy the other day.
"Now, if you are fine with letting me turn over the unloading to the Port Authority and military, then I had to speak with you anyway. It concerns both our nations."

Mantito glared at Nakhi
"I am of no government, I am of the red serpent, we have a hospital ship on route.
We take orders from no one but our people that mean well.
Cut this fucking shit and let us do our job! Get your people unloading now."
"When will these supples come? We have them here you can wait of deal with the mess now. Deal with it, we are here to help, tell us to fuck off and let the blood of those that die be on your hands."
Mantito showed no fear she had been in more war zones than most. The red serpent had lost more people that most armies by being there, but never took it badly. Giving aid always cost life, but they fought to do it. Not with guns but due to pure bloody minded will.
