You land

As the door dropped you rushed out with the rest of your platoon, realizing only now that you had forgotten your shield in your locker. Your corporal curses as she realizes this as well before shoving you to the last row of the formation where you wouldn't be a danger to everyone else. Your blood was pumping and even knowing that you would likely be punished with cleaning duty later you ignored it as the square of bodies pushed forwards. Your HUD was feeding you basic information about the battle, letting you know that the enemy **** was slightly larger than yours. As the attacker they had also managed to land before you. You couldn't really see upfront but after fiddling with your controls you manage to hook in to the camera of the soldier in the front row. A tiny screen appearing in the upper left of your vision.

You could see the enemy was lined up across from you, their formations matching yours, the archers were up front and you watched as they unleashed a volley. You pressed yourself against the soldier in front of you to tried to get covered by her shield. As the arrows landed against your formation you saw one of your comrades fall as an arrow went through a gap. As the formation continued forwards you scooped up her shield and had it up in time for the next volley. Feeling the thud of an impact and sighing in relief as the arrow didn't register through. As the distance closed further you peeked behind you, seeing a few forms motionless on the ground where the enemy arrows had hit them, turning your attention to the front cam you saw that your countries own volley's has taken a similar toll.

The archers fell back behind their lines and you could feel the **** as the formations clashed all along the line.
