N-Sunderland:
Sunderland, via radio to Yiski.
"How many casualties on our side so far?"
Yiski:
--Eastern Wall--
Yiski
"It's a tactical regrouping if I ever saw one. They still have superior fleet numbers and a lot of infantry transports still operating."
The radio was cackling and Frank readjusted the signal. It was Lauren and Zill.
Lauren
"What are they planning Zill?"
Zill
"Either they'll try again later, or waiting for reinforcements."
Yiski jumped in on the conversation.
Yiski
"I'm goin' with reinforcements." *turning to Frank* "Call out to some western recons and made sure they're not gonna surprise us in the Gauntlet."
Frank nodded and went over to a separate radio.
Captain Lockheart:
Lockheart was sniping through his mercury at one of the 2 pyras that chased Sunderland, when a flak shot rang off the captain quarters.
Lockheart
"You better not have damaged my Feather bed! Those are expensive!."
Loclheart opens fire with greased rounds with one round already loaded in the muzzle, he fired all 3 shots at a pyra its hull armor flew off the ship in a array of splinters, scrap metal and bolts.
Lockheart
"That looked expensive aswell. Karl fire your flak at that pyra to the north east. Bearing 176."
Karl
"Heres a present from Firnfeld!"
The shot hit and the ship exploded and fell to the ground. Lockheart then received Captain Verra's Transmission.
Lockheart
"Well. its because they are drunk"
Gatling fire started to rake the top deck of the Yeshan Dragon, it caught a mercury gunner off guard and he had a line of bullet holed in his torso. A red pool began to emerge around him as he lay on the floor. Lockheart quickly ducked but a bullet whizzed past and singed his ear.
Lockheart
"You Rotter! I want that Pyra Gone Now!"
Lockheart walks to the radio.
Lockheart
"Release the White Whaler!"
A Pyramidion chute vented from behind Lockhearts Galleon, it then began to lurch, then Sprint forward towards the incoming Pyramidion.
Lockheart
"Edwin, we'll let of a hwacha salvo to help our comrade."
Edwin from the Hwacha
"aye sir, loading burst"
Soon the Top deck Hwacha fired, taking out the pyras front guns and one of its engines. The White Whaler swiftly approached the pyra and let loose its front guns. A harpoon fired off the front of the pyra and it ripped a Armour plate off but still latched on to the ship. The White Whaler went into full reverse and pulled the pyra back towards the Yeshan Dragon both ships fired at it and it immediately fell to pieces.
Sgt. Spoon:
As the attackers regroup, Spoon checks the encampments around him. Most batteries are still standing but the frontline squids has managed to wreck a few, as well as incapacitating a good deal of guards unfortunately catched in a sudden gatling spray. Guards are running everywhere around him, tending to the vounded and pushing new ammo and shells into the batteries and stationary turrets.
BdrLineAzn:
--Dawn Break--
As the small five ship formation approaches the Barons fleet from the west, and Zankif and Melin's 12 ships approach from the east, BdrLine notices that it was quiet behind them. He looks to Niko as he notices it as well.
BdrLine
"Why are the flak batteries not firing?"
The two looks behind them to the city and notices that they are extended very far, they look forward again as they realized that they enemy are regrouping. Niko goes over to his cousin to tell he and the other four ships to turn around and leg it back to Anvala, while BdrLine is frantically on his radio calling both his friends.
BdrLine
"Melin, Zankif, get out off that attack run, they are regrouping and we are over extended, good thing they have...."
Suddenly mercury and flak rounds are going around the Yeshan mercenary group as two Baron galleons notices their position and fire upon them.
Niko
"Gang, we need out NOW!!!"
Gang
"I know, hold on tight going full reverse, can't risk our engines. *on radio* Fallen Leaf you know what todo."
Fallen Leaf Captain
"Yes sir, quick change out the side merc and bring them top side, we are providing covering fire."
--Zankif's Pyramidion Wardog--
On the eastern flank, both Melin and Zankif heard BdrLine's message and Melin and his other squid proceed to pop tar to help cover the other ten ships. As they are retreating back into the clouds, they notice the five other ships on the other side taking hits.
Taking out his spyglass, Zankif looks on helplessly as the five Yeshan ships are taking fire.
Zankif
Damn, just damn. *on his radio* "Melin its me, looks like Bdr is having it rough"
Melin
"I know, I see it as well, but we are way too far from them. Once we slip into the clouds, we need to find a quick route to the city's defenses."
Zankif
"Roger, I'll map a course."
--Dawn Break--
All engines on the five ships are on full reverse with kerosene on, on the Dawn Break the crew are working on the ships armor as the mercury shots are piercing it. Still on his radio, BdrLine puts in a new frequency and is linked to the Anvalan comms.
BdrLine
"Yiski, Zill, anyone! We are taking heavy fire, the majority of the Barons are targeting us, *boom* Flak, hows the armor"
Crewman
"Still holding"
BdrLine
"We need some assistance or cover, don't know how much...."
A mercury shot came and hit the mast of the galleon near the helm, knocking the three up there off their feet. While slightly dazed, Niko, Gang, and BdrLine gets up and sees if anyone was hurt. Out in front of him, BdrLine notices that his radio is now busted.
BdrLine
"There goes my comm."
Niko
"Be glad we still have my cousin's, come on, we need to help. The Dawn may not take another it like that."
BdrLine and Niko rushes down the stairs and are now helping the ships engineers trying to keep the ship alive.
