Description
The Infrastructural Expeditionary force marched to their target, laying claim to several villages and leaving behind minor forces to oversee them, word had gone out and ariel recon had confirmed it, they their force was on the march. Drive selected the battlefield and they made camp there as the enemy army marched towards their position. Among them was private Valia Trelseb. She had seen the aftermaths of several battles and her brother among them and when the recruiting parties said they would put an end to that pointless carnage, she felt compelled to volunteer. But never the less, like many of her comrades in arms, she was apprehensive about what was to come. They had been briefed on what to expect and it was a change. A vast army of firearm wielding warriors with cannons, combat mages and golems. Infrastructure lost few battles before and most of their soldiers were used to gunning down warriors at a hundred meters, but this was unnerving, even after they were told that the Type-3R2s were better weapons and the advantages that some of the new toys would bring to this battlefield.

They took positions on a couple of hills and waited as the army approached, The night before battle they saw the distant glow of cooking fires on the horizon, that morning they marched on the hill. Fifteen thousand fighting men marched against their posistion forming into formations before advancing. Infantry into loose formations, and the cavalry at the sides and cannons moving about on the flanks. Then they charge. The Infrastructural forces fired the first shots of the battle with artillery at 1,500 meters, forty two rifled guns launched their salvos into formations deemed to be of higher priority at 1,500 meters, raining a hail of cast iron balls into enemy formations. But they never the less pressed on, now at a full run. The cavalry were planning on moving around to the rear, and got some priority in targeting, but as these armies closed by forces on the flanks. Her concern was the army of infantry marching her way. They waited as they closed before the order was given.

"COMPANY OPEN FIRE! FIRE AT WILL!"

Around her was the constant crack of gunfire and the metallic sounds of expended cartidges being spent. The enemy was dropping, but they were closing and there was still plenty of them. Quickly the air was filled with smoke and the smell and cracks of gunfire and the metallic sounds of loading and spent cartridges. A few shots wizzed by her as she loaded. They were letting off shots at her posistion. They were sporadic and their aim was sloppy, bu she did hear someone go down. Never the less she continued to load undistributed, what would happen should they get into close quarter kept her mind squarely on the job. That said something did momentarily set give her a slight jolt as she heard a sequence of gunshots in quick succession with an odd mechanical underscore. For the gunner manning the Type-1A nearby got a bit spooked.
