[Atreides2]

Right after Mario managed to reach Unit 6, one of his soldiers came from a Cheetah "Sir, Ares reported that another 2 columns came, one of Cheetah's and one of Wormtail's. In total, 15 vehicles, 80 Soldiers . But we lost the Candle, an Ares Logistic transport , had been destroyed near the Leeds Smog Cloud."

"Very well, I am pleased about the landing and too bad for the pilot and the ship, he will be remembered as a Hero. Who is leading them?"
"That would be Lieutenant Goodman, Fifth Battalion, 3rd Company."
"Good commander. When they are going to reach us?"
"35 minutes. They landed in BB-34. Moving on to RG-23.Sir, Column 2 is in position also. They reported 3 minutes ago."
"Then we better move. Decebalus, get your guys ready, Aruna, where are you hiding? Ahh, have the 10 AIT ready to move. Instruct them to use jumps and not to worry about energy expenditure, we can take batteries from the Cheetah 8. Move!"
"Yes Sir!"
Mario turned toward Vatman "I am sorry Pilot but since you are an officer, I want to give you 10 AIT. Circle around the target and try to reach a 3.5 clicks from the target and cut any retreating troops. Keep on Comm 7, encryption Gamma. If you need any help, ask through the comm and I will dispatch a Cheetah Group to your position." he said and he saw the pilot saluting and moving to get to his troops.

" Come on, let's go!"

After 40 minutes and after Mario checked the placement of his teams and Vatman progress he ordered the advance toward the factory when the Cheetah units reported artillery fire, a bad sign but at the same time he saw that his 10 AIT is moving undetected.

"Wormtail 3, 5, 6 Deploy!" and he saw the troops getting out and forming a defensive circle and the plasma artillery taking aim "Cheetah, full speed, get their attention from the Wormtail. Delta Formation and watch your interval. Wormtail 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 continue speeding toward the factory." he ordered and after checking his interactive map he saw that his units are moving on to position and the second volley came and Mario looked to order his plasma artillery to fire when he saw the green flare and Mario activated his HUD and he saw some Bretonian uniforms "Do not fire, friendly! Advance with care. Cheetah Column 3, pick me up and we head to the factory. Rest of the units, IR camouflage at 1 click from the factory and be on the look out at the factory and in the surrounding. Be ready to move as fast as possible."

He headed with his team to the factory and they were met by a young Corporal and after he got out of the Cheetah, he listen to him "Do not worry Corporal, now reinforcements are here. We are Leeds Expeditionary Force, Crayterian Ground Forces. You are not alone anymore. And by the way, lucky for you that I didn't ordered to fire my cannons. I kinda outnumbered you on that. But anyway, ready to depart when you are ready. If you need, we can give you a hand but at the moment we encircled the factory."
