"Hello. I am in desperate need of your help! The Pazis are coming, and their armors are tough! Also, can you please send a navy to defend the Bolehland Strait?"
===============
Suddenly, Pherithian infantries came out of nowhere from the hills, it seems they used one of the oldest tricks in strategies, hiding. They bombard the unsuspecting Pazi troops and tanks from both sides of the valley.
Theoretically, the Pazi troops were supposed to be the best combatants ever. However, these clusters of men in gray were quickly crushed by the encircling PIA forces. The element of surprise rendered the Pazis in disorder and chaos, and their bad positions severely crippled their advantages.
The Pherithian troops destroyed or crippled most of the tanks, and because of the narrow pathway, limits the movement of the tanks and prevents them from targeting the infantries on the high hills.
The Pazis were shocked to witness their mighty and enormous war machines being obliterated into ashes. Anxious, the Pazis released some Warthogs and rogue Fleenzub Fighters to bombard the PIA with showers of plasma napalms.
Forde and the other captains watches the battle by drones flying above. However, some Pazis spotted the drones and destroyed them on sight, thinking these little gadgets were suicidal or spying drones (the latter turned out to be true)
Beneath the ground near the abandoned structures, came out Pherithian infantries that seem to have hide in holes, they assaulted approaching Engineers.
Due to the Engineers not being armed, and the infantry escorts were already having great trouble with the other PIA forces... the PIA forces were able to bring the Engineers to their graves.
Just as the Pazis there were close to annihilation, another battalion of Pazis marched toward Forde's base. Along with air support from rogue Fleenzub Fighters and Warthogs. More Panzer Warwagons steamrolled the Imperial Pherithians, and the Pazi troops unleashed a heavy rain of burning bullets toward the loyalists.
More airplanes (from late 20th and early 21st Real Life Century) headed toward Forde's base and paradropped legions of Pazi troops (Stormtroopers, Grenadiers and Panzerfraut Troopers). Subterranean APCs surfaced themselves right within Forde's base as well as behind and unloaded squads of Pazis. The Subterranean APCs then fled drilling their way to an unknown location, leaving the Pazi troopers to wreck havoc. If one listens carefully the Sub APCs are heading roughly toward the north.
Though the plan was well executed, Forde's forces are not enough to match the Pazis. They then sent a reinforcement call from Command.
"This is base MCV F01, we need reinforcements, I repeat, we need reinforcements."
"Request received." a normal male voice said (not Deldrach, his voice is dark and raspy). "Flardyrn reinforcements are on the way, base MCV F01. Hold the line," the same voice replied.
Meanwhile, more Imperial bases and settlements have fallen to the Pazi Blitzkriege, and the defense line was pushed further to the coasts. However, their Blitzkrieg tactics has distracted the Pazis, rendering the northeastern coasts of Bolehland lightly guarded.
