[font="Garamond"]Dark smoke filled the sky, and the smell of ash was inescapable. The AT-AP tanks and the AT-KT mechs were guarded by a battalions of troops as well as three Sith force wielders. One of them was obviously the knight in charge of the operation. At first the fight seemed like it was going to be a shootout, but the commander had ordered the tanks to go forward, utilizing the Nitro tanks to incinerate republic troops. Xillian now found himself on the front lines, because the troops in front of him were all but obliterated.
[b]â??We need to do something lieutenant. Do you have any snipers?â?
â??Yes sir, but they are all in the back line, and they are already in cover, moving them wo-â?[/b]
[b]
â??What kind of military does the alliance run? Did I ask you for your opinionâ? [/b]Xillian's skin remained a cool green gray, the anger was just a façade to gain quick cooperation.
[b]
â??Sir no sir!â? the startled officer hastily responded.â?[/b]
[b]
â??Then when I tell you to get your top fifteen to move along the side of the battlefield, take spots on the far coast and when I give the order concentrate fire on the Nitro throwers you wont give me your thoughts on the dangers of moving troops? Because if so your next orders are to break ranks and dive into the nearest tanks turbo laser headfirst.â?
â??Sir that will not be necessary, I am sending the order now, the frequency o reach the squad is 190.3 HC sirâ?[/b]

â??This is sniper unit 01 reporting in, we are in position. No cover in sight here though sir.â?
â??Alright, fixate on the tank closest to the front lines, when I give the word fire. Use your high output function, I donâ??t care if you use a power cell per shot, I need these tanks down. Once the first is hit move from farthest back to the front as quick as possible, but do not miss or this planet will burn. Failure is not an optionâ?
â??Yes sirâ? [/b]the com went dead. Xillian needed to pose a big enough distraction to give the snipers time to take out the exposed tanks and mechs. Three AT-KTs had been taken out, but only one of the AT-APs had been eliminated. The snipers had nine targets. And not much time before there position would be found once the first tank goes down, but they needed all tanks destroyed before enemy reinforcements arrived.

â??Men, we have a plan in progress to get rid of these damn tanks, it WILL work, but we MUST push forward. I will take the head, everyone form up behind me in a â??Vâ?? shaped arrow formation.. The first ten men aim forward, everyone else aim to the side, they are going to focus fire on us, which will give the rest of the troops a clear path to attack. If someone in my group falls, the person behind them takes their place. If our line breaks we all die.
