It has been four days since the discovery of the convoy. Now Azure was on a roof watching the ambush go into fruition. The soldiers were all getting into position near the single long road leading into the outpost. They were all hiding behind any type of cover to conceal themselves.

Azure: Not too shabby and it is for her first. (notices Violet)

Violet: One of our scouts reported that the convoy is five minutes out.

Azure: Are the soldiers ready?

Violet: Yes. All the weaponry is ready to come into effect alongside the trap on the road. Once the IED hits the leading vehicle the last will be hit as well. It will trap them and sow confusion to begin the attack. Most will likely be killed or injured in the beginning but there will still be a battle.

Azure looks through his binoculars to see this convoy ferrying troops and supplies go on the main road. Though what was unexpected was that they had air capabilities as well.

Azure: Did you happen to bring any anti-air weapons in case?

Violet: Yes. You never stated what would the convoy consist of so I made use of both anti-air and anti-armor weapons.

Azure: I will be taking my leave now. Capture any left alive and scavenge any supplies.

Violet: Where are you going?

Azure: (gives binoculars) This is your mission so you'll directing them. No plan survives first contact with the enemy. You must adapt to the situation. Now I'll trust the attack in your care Violet.

Azure leaves to go about taking a long needed break. Violet looked at the ambush point to see her plan come into action.

Time skip two days

Somewhere is a White Fang outpost one of the grunts had to report both the outpost and that the convoy was lost. The WF grunt walks in the room with Adam expecting a report.

Adam: Why haven't we received any response from the outpost? Radio silence was suppose to be broken once the convoy arrived to reinforce the position.

WF grunt: Uh...(hesitantly) I-It looks like we may have lost the outpost and the convoy.

Upon hearing the news Adam immediately lash out at a machine breaking it. At first these UFV forces have only done minor attacks but seems as if they are getting bolder.

WF grunt: Recruitment has also gone down as well. It seems like they are doing that also.

Adam: Why do they (hits machine) attack us (hits machine again) when we have the same cause?! Azure just had to leave the White Fang taking people with him!

The White Fang grunt was more hesitant to say the next part. Adam cooled off for as he kinda rambled to himself.

Adam: (rambling) Azure. He managed to take soldiers that swayed to his side. He took a lot of equipment while destroying whatever he could setting us back.

WF grunt: Also the attempts tried to infiltrate has been unsuccessful. They were all captured in the process.

Adam: Inform Aero and let him handle it.

The WF grunt left not wanting to suffer the fate of that machine. He went to another room and saw Aero looking over papers.

WF Grunt: Sir. Adam ordered me to report to you to handle infiltration attempts in the UFV.

Aero: The United Front of Vale. (sighs) Adam and his methods. I did warned him to take the immediate action against them but no. He saw them as posing no threat but now look. I swear his actions has costed us dearly as he wanted to terrorize Vale's population in an effort to gain Faunus rights.
