What's next?

Pull the flank guards to the line

When the enemy finally came into sight your stomach did a barrel roll. You had no idea that you'd kicked such a hornet's nest. You had 38 soldiers total against 98 drones. You had them out ranged slightly but that would only let you get a few free shots in before they closed in to return fire. You made an executive decision and ordered in the troops from the flanks. You felt a bit wrong for doing so for some reason. As if it went against a moral imperative but it didn't make sense for your flanks to be intact if your front was shattered.

Your line now had everyone but Vos's light infantry. You weren't sure if you'd get to flank but you damn sure wanted the option. It might be the only chance you had. You reviewed your position and waited for the enemy to get in range.

"Fire at will!" You order, eager to see your platoon lance out in fury as they did against the earlier group of drones. If you could just do that again... All of them were missing. Sure the enemy was flying and still at the edge of weapons range but you didn't see a single drone take a hit. That was until you heard a shout to your right.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! AIM YOU DUMB BITCHES!" Ameilia's voice thundered out, you almost thought that was going to be counterproductive until you noticed a few of the enemy drones take hits. Four of them plummeting to the ground and one seeming a bit shakey.

If that success had gone across your line you would have been pleased. Instead, you heard a rather unusual noise. Followed by a loud pop coming from third squad's position. Looking over you saw one of the soldiers completely stripped, her gun had exploded. Her armor had taken the worst of it but she was still out cold and your weakest squad became even weaker. It would only be a short time later the enemy would come into range
