[b]"Shhh... Quiet. There's a soldier in the window."[/b] Lilly whispered as she motioned for the rest of the group to stop. They paused for a long few minutes, as they waited for what looked like a shock trooper to finish his smoke break and head back into the building. Being the scout for the group, Lilly (to her distress) had little choice but to be at the forefront of the flanking group so that she could keep an eye out for sentries and was inches away from having a nervous breakdown. 

... 

....

[b]"H-he is gone. We can move closer."[/b] When the imperial finally left the window, Lilly waved for the rest of the group to follow her, before continuing to crawl forward herself. She was surprised with how quietly her group was managing to move. Brenna made sense, as her quiet personality seemed to translate into quiet movement quite well, but having a lancer (Celeste) and a shock trooper with a rather unusual weapon did not seem to mesh well with the ability to be stealthy. She prayed that neither Celeste's lance, nor Kyo's sword got caught on anything as they crawled. [i]Valkyrur, please don't let us get spotted...[/i] Lilly was well aware that if they were discovered, she would probably be the first one to die due to being the closest and least armoured of the group.

Eventually she called a halt one final time. The group had crawled just about as close as they could get before the residual light seeping out of the houses would illuminate them. Laying flat on the ground, and trying to distract herself from the filth her uniform had acquired from being dragged through a freshly tilled farm field, Lilly waited for the trio to catch up to her. [b]"When the attack starts, do you want me to run into the buildings, or should I let the three of you go first?"[/b] Lilly whispered to Corporal Stichler as she waited for the attack to begin. She was fast enough that she could probably make it inside one of the houses before anyone else... but her rifle was unsuited for attacking things up close, and she didn't have the armour the shock troopers had. Once she received an answer, Lilly nodded. [b]"Very well. I will do as you say."[/b]

It didn't take very long before the attack finally came. A sudden volley of rockets from the lancers exploded against the walls of the barn and farm houses. [b]"So it has begun..."[/b]

[b]"Come on, Darcsen... What are you waitin' for out there.."[/b] Evan drummed his fingers impatiently off the barrel of the APC's recoilless rifle. Though the APC was stationed in the treeline, a fair distance away from the village, the mounted rifle had enough range to still be able to hit it. Loading an HE shell, Evan crouched a little and tilted the rifle so that it's shot would arc and come down on the roof of the buildings - a necessary tactic for the heavier explosive shells. In a way, this configuration was similar to a tank's mortar, so Evan found himself putting his small amount of gunner training to good use. 

*FWOOMFWOOMFWOOM* 

Just as he finished his calculations, a trio of lances fired, blowing apart walls and windows on the house. [b]"Alright, Darcsen, now it's my time to shine!"[/b] 

*FWOOOOM!*

Pulling the trigger, Evan watched as the round sailed high, arced towards one of the barns... and then overshot, missed it's intended target, and landed in the middle of the crossroads. Evan turned beet red as he loaded another shell. Hopefully the Darcsen didn't see that. He didn't need any jabs at him about not being able to hit the broad side of a barn once the battle was over.

*FWOOOOM!*

Another pull of the trigger sent a second shell flying, and this time it hit it's mark, detonating on the roof of one of the houses and collapsing part of it. Satisfied, Evan grinned before scrambling down into the driver's seat and driving the APC to a different part of the treeline. Though it's armour was improved against lances, Evan did not want to test his luck. Their prolonged survival depended on this APC remaining in one peice, and he wasn't about to let the imperials get a bead on its location.
