Sixteen looked on as the messenger he?d just sent to the fort was ripped to shreds, and his head launched back at them. It was a sign of aggression, and it would be handled as such. He was nothing less than furious that one of his soldiers died an almost meaningless death, and had no intentions of holding such anger in.
?Spread the word, we are moving to the fort. Ready all the soldiers, and prepare to attack the gate,? boomed the machine general, clenching his fists tightly.
Forceful entry wasn?t what he?d hoped for, but he had the equipment to take out the fort, and it was unfortunate that he?d have to do so. His super computer mind plotted out each move as he hurried forwards and past the tower. The android had ordered them to begin panning out one hundred yards from the fort, and begin bombardment upon arrival.
The daylight was quickly fading as the anxious apparatus hurried towards his command post. He could see three of his rank officers standing a few yards away, waiting for him to give orders. Not wasting a split second, Sixteen sat down at the pre-prepared desk, and began checking the map.
Pondering over the map and the number of units he possessed for a few moments, he grabbed a sharpie from the coffee cup to his left. ?Alright boys, I want our three hundred artillery units to fan out across the perimeter and send word once it has been complete. Next I want out support units to split into three waves of one hundred, and prepare to charge the main gate,? ordered the commander, checking off the units he?d just used.
The second he finished with the first order, one of his officers darted off to begin gathering his forces. ?Now I want packets of fifty assault units spread fifty yards apart covering the charging support. As the support move in waves, so too will the assault teams.? Commanded the metallic warrior, checking of more units on his map.
?Yes sir!? replied another of his staff.
?Lastly, I want scouts to find any other entrances within their walls. If they do find any entrances, I want a packet of fifty-assault unit?s guarding the door immediately. We will break through any other entrances, and push there as well,? Sixteen monotoned, watching his last staff twist around in his tracks and head off into the distance.
The general folded up foxhound?s map, and lifted himself off the chair. ?Any available scouts I want a shooting post built at this location fifteen feet into the air. I?d like to test out this rifle Garlic gave me,? the old model android sighed, giving a gentle rub to the stock of his PSG1.
Soldiers, scouts, and medics ran about the area getting into their assigned positions. The ki cannons were in place around the fort, as well as the support units. It was only just a matter of time before his stand would be built, and he could send off the opening round.
?This isn?t what I had planned, but I can?t back away now!? Sixteen thought to himself, as he watched his shooting stand being built.
Fifteen minutes later.
The android lifted himself up onto the stand, lugging his chair with him. He slowly sat down, and looked down upon his soldiers who were looking back at him with wide eyes. Each soldier had a different look upon his or her face as he readied his gun.
Fingering the safety off, Sixteen lowered himself down and looked into the scope. Gently the machine sniper soldier shifted his gun upwards and to the right a few inches, putting himself in clear view of the gate. He noticed many soldiers wearing there armies garb, standing at the gates entrance and looking down from the high walls. With a smirk, he sifted through the many faces until he noticed one soldier who seemed to be wearing a small insignia on his hat.
?You are my target,? Sixteen thought, as he inched his finger towards the trigger. His body was completely motionless, and his breathing stopped momentarily as the general from atop his stand eased back on the trigger.
With a bang, the first bullet was launched out from his sniper.
