Poorly

Tamara progresses the same as she did before. Tired infantry resting on the tanks while useful infantry was walking next to the vehicles. Only this time the troops are walking next to the buildings. In case there’s another artillery attack, at least this time they’ll be able to quickly hide in the buildings. But when Third Company gets to 8 miles from the tower, there is no artillery attack. This attack comes from much closer. Spiderling’s appear from atop the roofs. Lots of them. They launch their webbing and hit the vehicles. Volley after volley of webbing gets fired at Third Company. But strangely, they don’t hit any of the women. The hits are all on the wheels of the Humvee’s and APC’s. They even target the treads of the tanks. Then instead of reeling in their webs like they usually do, the Spiderlings attach their webbing to the buildings they're on. More spiderlings on the second and third floors appear and do the same. Together they spin a giant web which stopsthe vehicles dead in their tracks.

When the first of the webbing hit, the troops on the tanks immediately jump off. They quickly hide behind the vehicles and use them for cover while shooting at the Spiderlings. From time to time they get hit by the webbing too. But the Spiderlings don’t reel them in. They leave them in the street, either stuck on the ground or stuck to the vehicles.

The troops inside the APC’s are ordered out. Like their sisters they use the vehicles themselves for cover and return fire to the spiderlings. The troops close to the buildings quickly enter them and use the windows to shoot at the Spiderlings in the buildings on the other side of the street. During the battle, however, gels start sneaking up onto the soldiers hiding out in the buildings. One room, where three snipers have gathered get approached by three gels. They sneak up on them without making a sound. The gels wrap their slimey bodies around all three of the women’s heads at the same time. Then they press their cores at the back of their victim’s heads, making skin contact. With their victim’s bodies under control they order them to relax, order them to not scream. They remove themselves from their victim’s heads and wrap themselves around the women’s bodies. The slime covered snipers silently stand up, drop their weapons and walk deeper into the building as their clothes start dissolving. In another room, there are another two women. One wielding a sniper rifle, the other wielding an LMG. Both get approached by gels. Both get captured, drop their weapons and abandon the battlefield. On the other side of the street is a sniper all alone in an abandoned home. She too has no knowledge of the gel approaching her from behind. Like her sisters she silently gets taken. It’ll take until the end of the battle for the others to realize she is gone.

After a while, when the vehicles are well covered in spiderweb, the attack ends. The spiderlings simply retreat without taking any captives. When Tamara hears of the enemy retreat, she tries to get out of her tank, but she can’t. The exit has been locked up with webbing. One of the girls with a flamethrower needs to burn the webbing off. Afterward Tamara can finally get out and assess the situation. What she sees is that all her vehicles have been covered in webs. Some women have even been webbed up with the tanks. A few others are webbed up to the ground. She starts by ordering the women cut loose and the webbing burned off of the vehicles. Then she learns that all of the women who went into the buildings never came back out. Amongst them are 17 snipers and 7 LMG units. That are a lot of units lost and nobody even knew it was happening.

Back at the vehicles all women who were webbed up are set free now. But all of them are naked. It would appear the webbing has dissolved both their clothes and their weapons while it trapped them. Among them are 3 LMG-girls, 5 snipers, 8 ****, 3 shotgunners and 1 flamethrower. The flamethrower was remarkably easy to pull out. The straps holding the canister of fuel to her back had dissolved away, leaving the fuel pack stuck to the Humvee. Now she’s got another 12 nude unarmed women.

Then Tamara’s second in command, Fire, comes to her and tells her of a problem. The vehicles may have become inoperable. If they use their flamethrowers to burn the webbing off the wheels and treads, they will melt the rubber too. Tamara orders all of the drivers out of the Humvee’s and APC’s. They’ll burn the rubber off the tanks and risk driving with rubber less treads. Then there is a sudden explosion. The webbing has finally dissolved enough of the flamethrower’s fuel tank for the thing to blow up. The Humvee it was attached to is now on fire. Good thing the drivers were already out.

Tamara orders her some of her troops to hand over their pistols to their formerly webbed up brethren. She’ll need them armed with at least something. Tamara was starting to become extremely concerned. This was almost a complete disaster...with only 3 tanks left, and all three in a terrible state.

Two miles further, on the rooftops, Chloe was smiling. Her ambush has had a near perfect result. The spiderling attack caused nearly all the vehicles to be taken out of the equation. Then the gels took a whole lot of captives. Pure and untainted by infection. These women will make for interesting test subjects. She’ll send some Harpies to collect those test guinea pigs. Behind her Gabriella is trying to keep her Pink Bunnies in line.

“No, don’t lick her boobs. I don’t want you doing that. And You, don’t feed her your milk. Keep that for when you need to turn some … Oh my god, I just got you two to stop scissoring. Get your face out of her cunt. And you there, don’t ride her face. No, no. Don’t you dare ride her … I just told you not to ride her face!”

“Let them be, Gabriella.” Chloe says. “They can’t help it. Their libido is just too great for them to resist.”

“How am I going to get them ready for their first battle?” Gabriella asks after a deep sigh.

“Start by letting them get some of that lust out of their system.” Chloe says. “Preferably soon. We’ll need to move shortly.”
