There is likely only one more update left after this one.
=================================
ARMored Assault
This will be done quick and quietly, and militias serve only as fodder in offensives, as always. Now that the Kodex Kool Krew, at the cost of two brave mercenaries, wiped out most of the reinforcements, it shouldn't be much difficult, although the enemy is likely to be more willing to stay in defensive positions rather than try a charge.
2:1 , odds that strongly favor the mercenaries of the EXTREME squad because they are worth at least 5 redshirts each. This is the last sector before the Meduna Palace itself. The final battle draws near.
Not forgetting the very relevant detail they are arriving by tank, and the even more important detail the tank has only one round left and thus not worth the bother. And they are better off stealthly killing their foes anyways, or at least stealthy by EXTREME standards of an army being unaware of where that mortar that wiped out half of a platoon came from.
The squad advances very cautiously and patiently awaits for any unaware enemy to be spotted at first.
Ira shoots one that hid behind their tank but misses. They know they are here but this time they seem wiser than to go in a full frontal assault against the mercenaries. They are biding their time, forcing them to make the first move.
While slowly advancing the team spots one of them. Bubba kills him between his herps and derps.
Another foolishly gives himself in, only to be severely wounded.
And Bubba HURR PRETTY LIGHTS EXPLOSHUN AWESOME on to finish this "elite" soldier.
One cannot ever hope to manage to backstab or outflank someone who got Lithuanian hitmen as neighbors.
Brain can hear him and is ready to kill another one.
Next time try it against a typical Kwanstain like Bubba. Bubba will probably kill the redshirt too despite all the durr.
Ira, being the stealthiest of the group, goes ahead as a scout, and spots an enemy having little time left to react. She quickly draws her pistol and shoots accuratedly, harming the enemy enough to prevent her demise.
Then it's trivial.
Too bad about the stores, for there will be little time for shopping tomorrow because Deirdranna will never see the sunrise as the mission will be accomplished well before it.
Slowly they advance through the plants between the luxurious stores, always ready for the first signs of movement.
Ira finds a fool trying to spot something from a window without good enough night vision goggles. His mistake is paid with death.
Shortly after another fool goes to the same window to check what is happening.
Better to tread carefully from now on. There is a defensive emplacement just ahead to the southeast, and spotting whoever could be there first is crucial.
Hiding behind a bush, Ira spots another one.
Her stealth skills are the reason of her success this far in this EXTREME squadron. Add to that the important detail her rifle is the only with a suppressor.
Then she turns to the right, just in case there are more enemies at the windows.
She finds one, but he is crouched and hitting him from this position will be very unlikely. It is time for the EXTREME Squadron to do what they do best:
They miss this enemy, but in their EXTREME an entire section of the wall of the house where they hid was torn open.
And the fool ran towards the hole.
Ira continued to scout ahead...
SNIPER! Ira ran towards the darkness and then to the sandbags.
An idiot tried to stop her with smoke grenades. He did not live long enough to regret such stupidity. She continued the hunt, to another emplacement west of there.
There aren't many of them left now. Ira decided to do it on her own, not trusting the ability of the others of being stealthy enough to do this the right way.
Then she found something that was too much for her to handle. That is what the EXTREME Squadron is here for.
Brain already got the coordinates.
The rich and decadent aristocracy of Meduna will all wake up to the Shells in the Night again. The end of Deirdranna's regime is nigh.
There is one left, and Maddog has an idea he could not ignore.
There is one emplacement they didn't check. Why bother trying to spot the soldier inside it when you can just blow it up for the sake of it?
The screams confirm it, and now Maddog advances to finish the job.
Maddog is truly a fucking MAD DOG. The last of them stands no chance.
All Sectors of Meduna other than the Palace itself are cleared!
The time is coming. In preparation, Dynamo improvised a rod and spring and installed it in Ira's rifle.
This is the end of Deidranna's Reign of Terror!
