Objective I: Finish the Exercise/Something like it
Location: The Swamp
The execution of the maneuver was flawless, as flawless as moving through a swamp with heavy weaponry and gear in toe. Mythos patrolled the area with his troops in the wedge formation, deep behind and low to the ground in contract to their target. They were not to move until the fire had begun, it began only half way through their movement. They took advantage of the initial blast of the friendly barrage dealing and taking casualties to move forward with his own squad more stealthily to the target. These Anubians were part of a special group of soldiers Mythos wanted to train in this specific terrain: The Molok Legion. Mythos approached the left side of the compound behind the woodline as the bigger guns shot back at his own troops. It was not long before the second friendly began to join the fire, the sheer power of both [member="Darian Helsic"] and his forces and [member="Adrian Vandiir"] was enough to suppress the place fully.
Mythos awaited behind the woodline with the Anubians, they had with them a breaker with the
acid launcher, two riflemen with
lightning rifles. This was the first line of attack once they breached inside, then would come the commander of the squad followed by the rear element with the
Emiritus rifle as the rear flank with the
G-35 as the heavy weapon. The Communications officer would stay with Mythos coming in at the rear armed with his infernos rifle and blaster pistol. Before they could assault Mythos needed to let one minute of fire roll between the two allied forces into the fortress, he needed to let them kill as much as they could. Knowing that they had fire superiority he let the mad minute rage uninterrupted taking account of the amount of firepower used and estimating the casualties.
Once that had passed he gave the signal for his allies to shift their fire through the CARGS system.
His plan was simple and textbook, of course it was going to work. As his allies shot slightly to the right they cleared Mythos from friendly fire but his enemies still heard the blasterfire and destruction, they did not know it was not aimed at them, they kept their heads down. As the fire rained down by the allied forces on the enemy Mythos could see first hand as the sectors of fire being a few degrees from also being victim to it. He had already seen the casualties head down and the sound of hits, he made his order to assault through.
Heading the charge and anticipating the attack of the machine blaster possitions he gave command for the G-35 gunner and a rifleman to lay behind their position still and lay down fire to their left. The apex directly in front of him with the furthermost machinebaster nest, he took on personally, igniting his black lightsaber and using his lightsaber skills to deflect the fire of the enemy position. Several thermal detonators in precise places took care of the laser wire all the while Mythos protected the throwers by deflecting the fire from the towers with his lightsaber and in more extreme cases with his armor.
Now was what he was waiting for, he had the enemy suppressed in all sides, with a single wave of his hand and the power of Telekinesis he turned the guns on each other, 'killing' the two gunners. Slightly before that, the breaching team took a section of the bottom of the tower and used the Acid thrower to punch a hole through the wall where the rifleman, the communications officer and the rest of the team would flow in all the while opening fire to whatever else was inside the small fortress. From the time the first Anubian entered the molten hole in the tower from the time the first entry room was cleared with every soldier inside including Mythos in position was roughly two seconds. There was the good, then there were the Elite.
The breacher having done his function placed the large weapon on his back and took the blasterpistol from the C.O. They reloaded, checked their weapon systems, oriented the mission with hand signals and moved in, clearing room by room to the sound of non-lethal electric blasts and plasma. First door on the left, two enemies, Mythos took the right with the MK, the rifleman took the man to the left with the lightning rifle. A room slightly forward, while Mythos cleared that one, the second team moved in to eliminate the targets inside with quick and precise shots from the infernos and the blaster pistol, the breaker suffered a shot to the leg and his armor clamped down on the limb, the squad was now slower.
The next floor was no different but most of the opposition had been eliminated by their allies fire still raging outside or fled possibly gunned down by his allies as well, but Mythos noticed that even a tactical retreat would have left more bodies, slightly more. Through the HUD on his helmet he could see what others under his command could also see, a tactical bait retreat to pull them from the fortress and into the open and put them between the gun nest and the woodline where no doubt they now were bogged down in. Tactical maneuvers like this required a swift decision and Mythos had one, with one hand he ordered his riflemen to take point and when that was done he hoisted the breaker with the 'wounded' leg on his back, while giving the acid launcher to the commander.
They moved through the compound eliminating three more enemies that had been 'wounded' and left behind, at the end of the hallway was the top of the fortress and a straight open shot to the last gun nest, Mythos planned on taking it as his own, as the one closest to them had been disabled by his allies.
"Open fire on the ridge-line, call in the mortar fire" He commanded, both to his men to triangulate their position and feed them to the Sith Warriors, but to the other command to put those coordinates in and call in the fire. Within seconds the G-35 was racking off rounds into the woodline as the team joined soon after, Mythos on the other hand was carrying a full grown Anubian on his back, his armor, his weapons all the while flying through with repulsor boots and a lightsaber in his hand.
He only got half way before the enemy gun team began firing on him, they could not turn the fixed big gun on him but instead opened on him with their blaster rifles. Mythos let go of his warrior at a decent height for a safe landing and while falling down into the position deflected the shots aimed at him with the black blade of his songsteel lightsaber, the whistle of it's steel singing as he swung the legendary blade. His Anubian breaker hit the ground rolling, angling himself to avoid hurting his clamped leg and coming to a halt on one knee, brandishing the
HPX-7 blaster pistol and letting off a single shot that took out the trooper closest to him, while Mythos destroyed the other trooper's rifle by stabbing it through with his lightsaber and then with the power of Telekinesis flung him from the tower.
A painful but hopefully harmless fall.
He wasted no time in turning his attention to his right noting that now the enemy fire was picking up as a kind of final desperate salvo and retreating into the woodline. As his Anubian squad fired all guns into the woods his breaker manned the machine blaster and turned it on the woodline defense positions. Gathering the force inside him and raising his black lightsaber high Mythos let go a wide and powerful lash of sith lightning aimed at the top of the trees, igniting the top branches of fire making them fall down in flames and smoke flushing the troopers from their positions with natural weapons.
The scene unfolded before him as he took it in all the while on the top of the fortress with a black lightsaber in one hand as fire rained from below and beside him. His command now rained hell on his burning forest, there was nowhere left to retreat to now. The mortars would be electronically fired, taking effect in the system and not visible to anyone not overseeing the entire operation, Mythos knew his execution had finished, he called the end to the exercise.
"End EX. You have preformed to satisfaction of the empire. Head over to debriefing and prepare for some well earned rest and recovery."
