Caporal Nadia Venier positioned herself at the top of the dune and removed the cap on her rifle's sight. Low-light amplification and a digital telescopic lens brought her within spitting distance of the Northern formation. This was a big advance - Aller MBTs¸ Klemm and Tyburr tanks¸ it was an impressive display. But she was interested in the vehicle protected by a squadron of Jaguar Gears. Clustered with antennae¸ it was a Murdock command vehicle¸ most likely carrying the regimental commander.
Breathing evenly¸ she squeezed the trigger. Instantaneously¸ a low-energy laser beam reached out to the vehicle and bounced back. A microchip calculated exact coordinates from the infinitesimal lag time and a backpack comm system relayed those to the unit waiting on her.
Five kilometers away¸ a massive Vandal artillery platform downloaded the coordinates and let loose one of its Hellbringer missiles. The hypervelocity rocket bridged the gap between attacker and target in seconds.
Caporal Venier had just slid down the back of the dune when the Hellbringer hit.
The North was about to have a bad day.
