Well the time was now. They were approaching the first covenant city and were afraid of heavy losses while fighting an urban war. The Grand General (MC) had issued orders that whether there were woman and children it didn't matter the orders were clear KILL ALL WHO ARENT HUMAN. Most of us couldn't complain as they murdered so many innocent people in the invasions of Earth. But at the time I knew my men were ready but we had no idea how many covenant were concealed within the city.
The major came out to address his men "Hello we have just received orders from the general himself and he has ordered us to invade the city, now we are expecting heavy losses and I cant promise I will bring you all home alive but if we have to give these slit head, squid head bastards our lives we give them hell before we do", it was a strong speech which as I noticed drove my men forward but how would they react under fire I was about to find out.
As lieutenant Steele walked with his men they encountered there first resistance they were being fired at by a Wraith tank "Sir their dug in over in that building what should we do", As his private looked at him for guidance. " Ok", Steele picked up his radio "This is the 65th marine division we are held up at sector B 18 we need aerial bombardment", "ROGER that coming in hot", The men watched the fireworks as their enemy's were blasted away. "OK now I want first squad to move in on the right and second on the left am I clear", "sir yes sir", they advanced down the battlefield and the human snipers recon the skyscrapers that the covenant had created. As they approached the first street corner they noticed an awful sight. A huge group of covenant were moving up but they put women and children covenant in front of them to cover them. At that time I realised why the Grand general had issued these orders. "Steele's men looked at him and he responded "We have to follow orders", and so they opened fire on the covenant, they had little choice but it had to be done. That group was destroyed "OK marines we re going to move to the next corner I want squad one to cover the left corner and squad two to cover the right OK move out", They slowly advanced but this was halted quickly "AMBUSH", someone shouted and they came under fire from ghosts and a huge number of covenant soldiers and to there horror they noticed in the blue sky that a pelican had been shot down. The marines quickly moved into a small building where the covenant could not reach them. As the covenant isolated them in the building something happened they did not expect, a whole platoon of Spartans fell back into the same building. "Spartans what are you doing here"; one Spartan replied "Same as you we are in the path of a major offensive and we could be stuck here for a long time"' so Steele replied "Well we better balance out our forces we are surrounded from both sides of the building", "good idea lieutenant OK I want 9 of you on the right side other nine stay here"'
But the situation was getting worst, 3 battalions of covenant were advancing through the hills and towards the Human CP. The remaining marines began to say their prayers, as they did not expect to survive this battle. And the covenant tried to attack the building, they were using everything they had to flush the helpless marines out and the building was shaking violently. What could the marines do nothing. All they could do was pray, Steel took of his helmet in dismay but he quickly put it on again "Sir there trying to come in the left side", He ran over and fired his weapon down the hallway and the covenant ceased but so did one of his marines. And so the first casualty had happened. Steel picked up his radio "Is there anyone out there we need evac now", " roger this is echo 515 incoming we have your position". Lucky for Steele the building had a accessible roof "OK marines we got a drop ship inbound to pick us up we will collapse upstairs and cover the stair way", and his men followed, the covenant didn't realise what had happened and went inside checked it out and didn't bother to look upstairs because they were all called to the frontline because the humans had ambushed their advance. And so the pelican came over and picked them up and as they were going over the battlefield the witnessed the killings of the women and children as well as the covenant soldiers.
When they reached the CP they were well taken care of and the Grand General himself came to see them "Hello marines you put up a brave fight", "Where is my division", Steele snapped
"I'm afraid your it we couldn't afford to lose all our forces because we weren't sure if they would counter attack" "So you used my division as guinea pigs in this war, well how humane of you I'm glad that you would sacrifice all those men just to confirm a little bit of Intel well screw you", "Look I understand your pain but this is a war and we are soldiers and everyday I make decisions that send hundreds of people like you to their deaths. I have seen the worst, when I made off halo I was the sole survivor of an entire ship now you telling me that you have it bad", The Grand General just walked away. Steel was left motionless he couldn't even speak.
Next instalment soon keep checking.
