Church shook his head at the nickname, the smile on his face stupid as he copied Paige and informed his own squad of the roll they'd be taking up.  Those close enough groaned, they all shutting their traps though from a single look from Daniso.  Certainly were perks to having your Corporal be a terrifying psychopath Church thought and got back to work of killing orcs.<br/><br/>It seemed only seconds before Paige was in his foxhole and he was filling her in on the situation.  "Watch the left flank, that fucker Robert's is ready to jet any minute.  You hear me Robert's!  I'll fucking crucify you if you fall back!"  The _"Ely made Sergeant laughed and winked at Paige, he taking full advantage of the new rank and loving every minute of it.  As Paige gave his people covering fire he lead the way while switching over to the Company and Battalion channels, his com erupting with so many requests for support that it  made his head spin.  Making a short priority list in his head he again lead the way towards their first target, the weakening goddamn southeast corner.<br/><br/>"HELP!!!  FUC-UKLE"  Church came over the small lip to the foxhole just as orc slashed his way in the opposite side, his axe slamming rather nicely into the corporal who had been to busy screaming than fighting.  Much closer to an orc than he'd ever like to be, it was with quick hands and some luck that Church got his shotgun under the damn creatures chin and blew its some brain into its head.<br/><br/>"Fix this line!"  Church howled, stepping atop the dead orc and shooting into the group on coming.  With support from his unit it didn't take too long to push the orcs back fully to the treeline, Church now using his rifle like the rest to keep the bastards pinned to the woods.  Setting the rest of the surviving unit up to properly handle the situation he ran off to the next problem.  Apparently some fucking idiot LT from platoon 8 was about to lead a charge.<br/><br/><div align="center">***</div><br/>Warren looked to Reinfeldt with clear suspicion as she volunteered for the position of gunner.  He thought it over moment and decided that reward outway risk.  "Remember, you start putting shells on my people for some PD revenge or such shit, only means the orcs are getting closer to you sweetheart."  Looking to Corporal Gawande Warren motioned for someone to give the guy a crutch then said, "You give her the coordinates, she loads and fires.  I want close fire along our entire southern edge.  The boys and girls down their should feel the heat from every shell but not get fried.  You got arty?"  Warren asked, his glare and the threat within it very clear.  The Coporal snapped off a salute and took Reinfeldt in the direction of the guns.<br/><br/>"Get me more stovepoppers if you can Doc.  We're gunna need them."  Warren heard his sniperteam come over the comm and clicked to their channel.  "Eagle eye, stay off grid, repeat stay off grid.  Artillery support inbound on southern line, do not attempt to cross, repeat do not attempt to cross."  No sooner had Warren finished saying that, that Gullins came up to him with some horrible fucking news.<br/><br/>"That can't be good." Warren got on the horn and made contact with division.  After going through the usual bullshit talk to get anything from Fleet he was finally given the information he was meant to get.  Nodding his head and not speaking much, Warren's face set in hard as the person on the other end of the line kept talking.  Without much pomp Warren confirmed he'd received and then cut the line.  An explosion of artillery sounded behind them as Reinfeldt and Gawande got off their first round.  The sucked took a long time to make land fall and Warren used every second of that to figure out just what the fuck he had to do to get his people out of here.<br/><br/>The shell landed just where Warren would have wanted it too, blowing up orcs in mountain fulls and making every grunt along the southern line happy they weren't five feet closer.  "Gullins, get me the<em>HMS Kidd</em>on the horn.  I wanna talk direct to her Captain."  Warren said quickly, he looked over the battlefield and then tapped into the Company band.<br/><br/><div align="center">***</div><br/>Church heard it, but he still couldn't believe it.  He listened again and Warren said the same thing, ready to repeat himself once more.  Acting quickly Church put his own voice out on the platoon band and said, "Paige, switch to Company right fucking now."  The urgency in his voice and lack of formality would peak anyones interest.  Thankfully only certain grunts were allowed to listen in on such a high priority streams.<br/><br/><em>"-ajor has been killed.  I am assuming command of the Company.  Fleet and Navy have been overwhelmed in orbit and are withdrawing to the Nietra System.  Rescue and withdrawl of ourselves will be made within the week.  Hold the line, fortify your position." </em><br/><br/>Church looked at the Lt from platoon 8 and saw exactly what was about to happen.  Prick was about to lead his people on a suicide charge, and with it completely ruin the left flank.  His hand was moving before he even thought to do it, unclasping his pistol and slowly making his way around behind the LT just to make it look like he might have been aiming for an orc.  Goddammit, PD in the yard he was sure a rather unfriendly courtmarshal hearing might be coming his way.  That was when Daniso got involved.<br/><br/>"Flare!"  She shot the damn thing into the ground.  The bright initial flash and constant beam of light making everyone avert there eyes from the thing had landed, it not being that far from the LT.  An orc arrow in her hand she had come behind the LT and shoved the damn thing through his throat.  When the flare finally died out and the wave of rushing orcs was pushed back.  The move to murder had painted a bright red come here sign for the orcs to follow, but all was well in the end of it.  As Church and Sergeant of platoon 8 looked down at the dead LT, arrow sticking from his neck they came to a understanding.<br/><br/>"Wish I had a corporal like that."  The sergeant of 8 said, watching Daniso took up a quick position and shit out three rounds.  Three orcs dropping like nice little ducks.  Church didn't answer the man but just nodded.  She was definitely someone to be kept around, that was for sure.
