Chapter 3 : The Ambush

A few weeks have passed, there seemed to be no signs of enemies even near our border and it seems to be too quiet. Our leader decided to do a scouting mission near the border of the Dark Union. He sent 20 Bushwackers to scout any enemy presence in the area. All seemed well until our Bushwackers were ambushed in the forest north of Dalaran. As our Bushwackers were trailing through the forest, a couple of Shadow Cats, a light weight mech, attacked them from behind and used projectile cannons, thus our Bushwackers were vaporized and crushed to bits. After hearing this news our leader launched a full scale invasion in the city north of Dalaran after the forest, named Grandia, A Dark Union main outpost before the Main City in sector #770 Alexandria , which was before the main mech research facility has now turned into a gigantic city. When our forces attacked Grandia we were forced to withdraw for we did not have enough mechs to even level the walls in that outpost. Most of the people were demoralized for the fact that we could not even destroy an outpost after having a strong ally. Days after the rest of the forces that was stationed in Dalaran was repaired so that we could repel a counter attack if Grandia was to attack us. Our researchers also developed a new weapon called PPC's a more advanced version of the projectile cannon which had better damage power. This time now we are able to destroy the walls of the outpost. Our leader tried again, he launched another full scale attack against Grandia. Forces in Grandia did not expect our attack for they did not expect us to attack again for we could not even destroy their walls. During the attack we easily were able to break their defenses and attack the city within the outpost. We were able to capture a lot of prisoners for they surrendered after we destroyed their walls. We have now taken a new city, Grandia is ours! Our boundaries has now expanded and the chances of taking back the Old Republic has just increased, but still lies ahead, a strong City Alexandria which is five times bigger than Grandia. Beside that city are two more outposts. It seems that it would be impossible to penetrate such a tight defense against Alexandria and so we searched for more allies in the south. Meanwhile we strengthen our defenses in the front line so that we do not lose our farthest outpost , Grandia. Many more dangers lie ahead in the south for it is unexplored territory and we may face a lot of enemies.
