Start of Day 10
-Narrator-
From the heavy fighting yesterday, the La Ferra Fleet has sustained heavy damage. Our of the 16 ship formation, only 10 are left. What remains is the Emporer's flagship, 5 galleons, and 4 pyramidions. The Emporer has order the remaining ships to retreat. Luckily for them, it was nightfall when they retreated from the Tower, with the darkness they were able to slip away.
During the ship battle, Zankif and his fleet arrived a little too late as he saw the destruction caused by the cannons. Know that if he entered, he and his fleet would fall just like what happen to the La Ferra Fleet. Zankif hold position just outside visual range of the Tower, and by the next day, he spots the battle weary Imperial Fleet.
Zankif goes on the radio and tries to make contact.
Imperial Fleet, Imperial Fleet do you read me over. We are the second fleet of ships here ready to assist. We were requested by one of the Zhao family members, but when we arrived to the Tower. We decide to hold back as the massive fire power they had.
On the La Farra Fleet, the Emporer heard Zankif's call and promptly answer it.
Yes this is Imperial Fleet. Glad you didn't go into that barrage. Everything would be in vain if ship after ship tries to engage that Tower with it online. Right now, my fleet will be falling back, we have taken substantial damage. Don't worry, your will not be alone, from Wu River a troop transport fleet will be arriving and the Grand Fleet will come as well from our Capital. I advise you make a perimeter cap until they come. Oh from what I seen your friends has infiltrated the building before we left, watch out for that.
Roger that, forming a perimeter around the area
Once the two fleets went their separate ways, Zankif medieum fleet, which consist of 3 galleons, 3 goldfish, 2 pyramidions, and 2 junkers. Formed a perimeter around the area waiting for the rest of the Allied ships to arrive.
Inside the Tower is a different story. The 15 man team barged into the Tower with weapons drawn. The Tower's occupants, who are just celebrating their victory from yesterday, were surprised that anyone would have breached it defenses and immediately around 8 of them fall from the gunfire. Realising they were under attack, the Tower defenders quickly went for their weapons and returned fire.
On a near by radio, one of the defenders goes for it.
We have a breach, I repeat we have a breach. Imperial soldiers have entered the Tower sound the alarm and send in reinforcements.
An alarm has sounded throughout the whole building, and on the upper floors more defenders ready their gear.
With the new retaliation from the defenders, Zill and the group take cover behind some pillars and crates lying around. A soldier gets hit and killed trying to go for cover.
Yiski is behind a box of crates with Roland next to him. He shouts over to Zill who is behind a pillar.
If we don't clear this room, more of our "friends" will be coming. You have a plan?
"Lily" from another crate hears Yiski.
Well I do.
"Lily" takes off her belt five loch gernades, unpinned them, and lobs them over he crate. Five explosions come and dust engulfs the room. After a minute or so, the firing has stopped. The team looks over their cover and notices all the rooms defenders are dead.
They all get out from their cover and walks to the middle of the room.
Hmm nice work. ...Flak... Everyone split up!
As they were assessing the damage, a shot ranged out, missing the group. And down the stairs more defenders come charging in. At that moment, the 14 man group split off in two, Zill his crew and three Imperial soldiers goes off in one direction, while Yiski his group and the three guards assigned to Ny-Lee another.
