Private Louis sat on a nearby rock in a small clearing, his legs tired and his eyes more so. His squad had guard duty along with the rest of the battalion, and along with scouting the countryside (the Gonhogians had little intelligence of this) they were to make sure Coalition forces didn't move closer to the town. Reports had been circling that the Coalition army were moving closer to Annatown, and many of the higher-ups believed that a battle was nigh.
Sitting next to Louis, his captain, Ashok, addressed his squad.
"Alright team. Command has ordered us to push another half mile or so, then we can fall back to the city in time for breakfast, understood?"
The squad muttered in agreement, the sky beginning to turn slightly brighter as the sun began its heavenly path. In the dim light, Louis could see something in the bushes, and after a moment's hesitation, began firing.
His squad members jumped, scrambling for cover as Louis continued to fire into the bushes. The figure slumped over, and Louis was about to call the all clear when a bullet found its way into his head. He fell, dead before he hit the ground.
The squad began returning fire as more figures could be seen around the clearing. Captain Ashok shouted something not heard over the noise while someone radioed command.
"This is Private Henry, 5th Platoon, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry, our squad has engaged with hostile forces, we need immediate back up."
Ashok saw movement to their right and left, and called out to his men.
"Movement on the flanks! We're being encircled!"

General Herman had gathered much of the leadership of his army into his makeshift war room has they discussed the current situation unfolding. Reports had been flowing in of encounters with Coalition forces, and he needed to come up with a plan to ensure he was not defeated again.
"Well sir," piped up one major, "the whole 3rd Battalion is encircled, I suggest we move in most of the 7th Infantry to face the Coalition. We can always withdraw to our defensives if they begin to get the better of us."
"What about our flanks?" began another major. "They'll have superior numbers; they could move into Annatown through the south and catch us completely off guard."
General Herman nodded, thinking about what they could do, before getting an idea.
"We could use the 73rd to sweep southwards, see if they encounter anything. If not, they move to flank the Coalition."
The council of commanders murmured in agreement.

Captain Ashok looked down one side of the hill that his battalion was situated on. The whole battalion, included his squad, had been pushed back and were now surrounded. The Coalition had already sent up a couple of waves to take it but have so far failed. Ashok then heard someone shout from behind him.
"Here they come!"
Ashok readied his rifle as he heard gunshots ring out. Taking cover behind a tree, he saw Libertans running up the hill, firing upon the Gonhogians. Ashok took aim and squeezed the trigger, seeing the man he fired upon fall down. They keep firing, more and more waves stormed the hill.

Ashok swung his knife at the Skodenian soldier, missing and embedding the blade into a nearby tree trunk. Desperately trying to pull it out, he felt pain in his back before his vision went black.
