(Damian POV)
I always ask myself what the end goal of this war is, and what we want from it. Do we want the beast's to just disappear and allow us to live a normal life? Or is there even a chance of a unified nations like the one some of the older generation talk about, even after everything I have done, I can't see myself being able to live with these beasts or a normal life for that matter...
The roar of the engine knocks me back into reality, along with a buzz of the radio.
EDEN Command "Alpha Heavy, you are clear to engage the hill. Search and destroy enemy armor and infantry will rally on your signal to push. Till the bitter end gentleman..." I exhale and turn to my crew and notice that James was watching me.
I have shared many vehicles with these men. James has been my secondhand man from the start once I was assigned to the unit and helped me learn the ropes.
James: "You good man?" He asks to which I only manage to nod back and looked over at my loader.
Danny, a man that I could only describe as a true mad man. He followed me out of our previous tank and fought on the streets with me after we lost our engine, he is the only man I want in a gunfight.
"We have a greenlight to advance and secure, driver take us forward and keep in line with the others." I say while managing the radio "Load Heat, I have been informed that we have dug in beasts 700 meters over that ridge. Be ready to load Sabo and engaged armor on a moment's notice, I do not need a repeat of Montana." I issue orders and look between the gun breach to see the back of my driver's head.
And lastly Shane, soft spoken but will do whatever is needed to be done. I have never needed to repeat myself with him nor have I ever raised my voice. He is a perfect soldier in the eyes of EDEN.
Our group of five Leopard 2A4 moves out at the same time to crest the ridge line. Ours has sustained heavy damage with countless marks on our sides from bouncing munitions.
Danny: "Copy that, make them regret ever thinking they can take us James." he says to the gunner as he makes ready the 120mm gun.
James: "Don't have to ask me twice." he whispers as he leans into the gun sight.
In the northern region of Canada, the night is lit with gunfire and the voices of those least fortunate to be there. The tanks crest the hill and are met with resistance to a mix of heavy and small arms fire.
"Gunner, Heat, bunker, fire!" I yell while marking a target for James.
James: "On the way!" The gun recoils back and quickly opens, ready for the next shell to be loaded.
I watch as our shell directly hits an MG emplacement sending shrapnel in every direction.
"Alpha Two watch your right flank, I see four of them attempting to get around you." I point out lone infantry to our friendly's. I can make out the figures as what appears to be a wolf, fox, and oddly enough an orca-like beast.
