I did not anticipate this many posts, unnerving...Also, if someone is going to fight Brunner himself, to be easy for me. Please PM me if you would, it is confusing me with all the posting. Thankyou.
Andrew-
Combat seemed to already be in place, death began to sweep through the ranks. Death from everywhere. Ravens, men, cavalry, and anything the land of Eden could throw at a commander. Brunner looked at his ranks from the tent he was stationed in, where he kept his headquarters. An able commander, he would not let this foil his plans, not now. How long had he waited to gain control of Ayenee? How long had he served Varsinax and Justin? Too long, Brunner was on his own now, alone in his 'quest.' He turned his back from his advisor's, clenching his hands tightly
behind his back.
"It seems they bring the brunt of their attack on the first wave, that's good. Waste all your fighting spirit on a diversion. What will they do when they run out of moral? Captain..."
A young captain named Hallet walked and then stood in front of Brunner, he saluted quickly, Brunner nodded.
"Send in the second wave, build up their moral first though. Recite the holy doctrine of Code 561, of the Memoirs. If that does not work, throw in the chapter on punishment on not fulfilling your battlefield role."
Hallet saluted and then ran to prepare the second wave, Brunner turned back around to the map displayed on the table in front of him. His advisor's seemed eager to know what Brunner was doing, but none of them would say anything unless spoken to. He looked up quickly to the commodore of the fleet, not of the sea, but of the air.
"Are your men prepared commodore? If so, I want them in the air as soon as possible. No delays, this must be done quickly, men of Ayenee are dying."
The commodore also saluted and sauntered off, adjusting his flight helmet on his head. Brunner looked back down again and put his finger on the map, a small valley, the map showed it was only twenty feet below sea level. It seemed to be hidden from view of the opposing forces. Brunner picked up a little marker of a cannon, he placed it in that spot.
"Have the munitorium munichious set up here, begin the bombardment as soon as possible."
One man rushed off and out of the tent, to order the artillery to do as Brunner had said.
"Send in the reinforcements at twenty degrees North, and fifty degrees West. That should give the first wave a place to consolidate, they are to wait as long as they can for the second wave. Retreat and failure is not an option, I don't want the regimental commissar's killing anyone that can fire a weapon. Is that understood gentlemen?"
Brunner locked his gaze with each man who in turn, locked their gaze and nodded.
"Dismissed."
The advisor's and military leaders hurried off, Brunner stopped one man as he went out the tent flap.
"Michar' do not get yourself killed, I don't want your body going home in a box."
Michar' nodded and went to join his unit. As a senior officer he was expected to be leading the second wave in. Brunner wondered what would happen to them though, would they all die?

On the other side of the battlefield, the friendly side. Engines began to crank up, new technology was on the rise. A body held it all together, long wings made it fly, a propeller made it work. Guns were mounted on the front and the back, small incendiary bombs were held by the man controlling the main gun. The commodore stepped into his 'airplane' and sat down, he looked back at his gunner.
"Are you ready to fly this thing?"
The gunner nodded and gave the thumbs up. The commodore started the machine with a flip of a switch, a pull of a lever and the contraption was moving. Down the 'runway' and soon began to pick up off the ground, steady at first, it was now ten feet from the ground. The commodore pulled the lever and something popped from the body, a gearstick. He placed his hand on it and began to pull back on it slowly. The 'airplane' went higher and higher, the sound of more engines cranking up sounded behind him. More 'airplanes' became airborn, the pilots gained control of their vehicles and began to steer them efficiently. The commodore reached to his mic' piece and spoke into it, each pilot heard the following.
"Just keep your plane steady, she'll hold. Every one of you is now in my good graces, you will always be. Every one of you accepted this mission, one we will probably all die from. Just remember, god watches over us and keeps us safe, he will not let anything happen to the ones that bring evil to justice. Now...Bomb them all to Hell..."
The commodore knew they were all going to die, maybe not here though. They would give it all they got, no one would falter in their duty. The gunner looked down to the ground, which they were high above. He saw the first wave tactically retreating, he saw the second wave moving into position. He saw the artillery bring the massive guns into place, he prayed they bombed them to Hell before the pilots got there...
