[quote=Gareth] The odd one of Drake's hornets were being taken down by machine gun fire from below. Without hesitation, because the hornets still had the instincts of complete human beings-the remaining hornets retaliated. Within moments dozens of laser beams from laser cannons were raining down upon the infested jeeps as if the sky was raining lights of destruction and smiting the ones who had made it mad. Drake was smiling at what he still thought was a victory for the human side as he saw the combat between the undead and the airborne cyborgs. It was just too bad that the last three ranks of the company were only holding their position and had nothing to fire at yet. Even so, Drake knew from years of experience through war that people could always try to flank you or launch a surprise attack. And so he kept a wary eye around for any such surprise. [/quote] Its a good thing you had your eyes open. One tree on a hill side forced [b]Gervus[/b to do a last moment menuever. Though he still wasnt visible, the tree swayed a bit, which was barely noticable from your position, and could be easily passed off as the wind. After all, a wind alchemist was on the other side. For now, what apeared to be an obvious victory unfolded before you. A loss of maybe 4 men, to take out what had become a sizable undead company should be cause to celebrate. [b]Gervus[/b] was able to feel the company get destroyed, and knew only the elves remained. He decided a flyby would be his best option. If pulled off, he could freeze 1/2 of the humans, revive his comrades, and continue flying to seek his revenge upon their slayers. The elves would just need to provide cover. So telekinetically he sent one of them "ATTACK YOU BLATHERING FOOLS!" Whilst he got into final position to wipe out the humans. The elves began hurtling all of their long range attacks at the grounded company, and one of them with a light alchemy created a shield of sorts, of blinding light to hover over them, and stop the lazer cannons from pummeling them from above as it had the undead. Fire balls, giant lobbs of earth, arrows, and bolts of electricity shot across the hill to hit the humans that were still upon the ground. The noise was so great, and the lights so bright, nobody could possibly communicate with each other to co-ordinate a defence, nor hear [b]Gervus[/b] when he does finaly decide to attack.
