Behind them, marching in perfect, terrifying unison, came thousands of human troops. Their boots struck the earth in a thunderous rhythm, their rifles gleaming under the fire-lit sky. Some wore heavy exo-suits, their mechanical limbs whirring with every step.
Others carried flamethrowers, the fuel tanks hissing like angry serpents. This wasn't just an attack... this was a full-scale assault.
The squad leader's blood turned to ice. His hands clenched around his rifle, his mind raced with fear-filled thoughts. They had just taken down one tank... and now... how were they supposed to stop dozens?
"Fall back!" he screamed with his voice filled with panic. "Fall back NOW! We can't hold this position!"
The soldiers didn't need to be told twice. They grabbed their gear, sprinting toward the nearest cover. But even as they ran, the truth settled over them like a suffocating fog... there was no escape.
