Chapter 4: First Contact Pt.1

Alien world, UNEC 1st Combat Battalion

En route to Wall Rose

It had been three hours since the column under Col. Alistair had crossed through the first wall. The paved road had already taken them 50 km deep inside the Titan/ Giant Territory.

Alistair's attention was on the screens. The map has just updated and refreshed on the displays. The column had passed through several human settlements on the way. Those towns and villages were devoid of life obvious due to the Giants' presence in the area.

What bugged him the most was the decline of Giant presence instead of increase. He had thought his battalion would face a helluva a fight to advance deeper into the Giant lands. Instead after the initial incursion through the first wall, they faced a medium concentration of Giants attracted towards them, Those were eradicated quite easily.

Recent Update had indicated the Giants were heading towards the second wall and they were in very large numbers.

There was still scattered giant presence in the area, one or two would pop out from the woods and were taken down by the tanks without a hitch. The ones that caused a lot of problems for the battalion were the Tier 3 Giants.

Tier 1 class Giants ranged from 10 to 15 meter of height and their behaviour was like a normal zombie only attracted to nearby human population like a mindless beast.

Tier 2 class comes under 5 to 7-meter giants like their T1 counterparts are mindless beasts but their short height made close quarter combat living hell. These were the ones took longer to be eradicated as many had ventured deep inside the subway and sewage systems in search of humans to feast upon.

Tier 3 class giants were unique ones they could speed walk or running and even performing great jumps. sub-divided into Runner and jumper class. They were far greater threat than their previous counterparts, due to their unpredictable and unstable behaviour. In some instances, it was noticed these abnormals would ignore a small group or an isolated human for a larger group. They contributed to the hundreds of casualties when the counter-attack against the giants begun.

After the initial incursion 1st combat Battalion had already encountered T 3 giants runner class ones. Still, jumpers were yet to be encountered.

"Yankee actual, This is Warhammer actual Come in, over". a voice came on the radio.

Alistair picked up the radio and spoke. "Warhammer, this is Yankee actual pass your message over. "

" Yankee actual, All the giants in this vicinity have been eradicated 1st platoon is waiting for orders to enter the settlement. how copy? over. "

He looks back to the screen for a while and reports back. " Affirmative Warhammer, you are cleared to proceed with alpha company, we have also reports on human heat signs in this area and around this settlement, there might be survivors from the Giant onslaught if you find them help them and bring them back."

"Roger that, Warhammer out. "

Tanks from Warhammer company 1st platoon along with LAVs and Humvees from the alpha company began to advance towards the abandoned human settlement, as the rest of the battalion wait just 1 km from the town.

Sky above Trost, Wall Maria

A lone F/A- 18 callsign (Falcon one) flew above the trail of giants heading straight towards the second wall. It was piloted by Capt. Charles Braun along with his co-pilot and weapon systems officer Lt. Albert. The duo was together since the Giant incursion. After Charles previous Co-pilot was killed during his leave with his family in Miami when the giants invaded the city, Albert replaced him.
