Shus, Mir
A region on the outskirts of the fallen city of Vostok

League survivors are fleeing in whatever way they can, with the Black Legion hot on their tail

And massive streams of refugees are still coming from the city

The League leaves a token force remains behind to safeguard the path for retreating forces and fleeing refugees

Three SLB soldiers travel through the woods, passing scattered debris left by others ahead of them.

Suddenly, a sound from the trees!
*snap*

Another group of League soldiers accidentally crosses paths with them and in their startled confusion they almost shoot each other
SLB Militia: GGaaaah!!

SLB Militia 1: S*** We almost shot you! We were waiting to ambush any Legion freaks that came this way, covering the flank for the blockade on the road!
SLB Militia 2: Well lucky for us that you messed up then!, and lucky for you that it wasn't them! cause you'd be dead after that screw up!

Mid conversation, heavy fire starts flying at them with trees getting smoked by large caliber weapons and things start to blow up and catch flame

The Legion's forces have crossed into the Shus region, everything behind them is now surely captured or killed

Quickly suffering loses, the League troops fight back with what weapons and cover they can

The guy with the machinegun tries to flank the attackers and cover their retreat

The situation is quickly getting out of control, more and more Legion troops are crossing into the region.

Enemies run into each other

And the League troops are quicker on the trigger

Unfazed by their losses, Legion troops keep pushing

As more troops cross over, specialists carrying bigger and meaner weapons arrive behind the cannon fodder.

This particular unit of League troops is eviscerated by heavy weapons fire

And it doesn't take long before there's Black Mages on the field shooting fireballs and magik missiles, In the middle of automatic weapons fire there's suddenley a loud pulse that lights up from the Legion positions

And a sizable explosion erupts in the woods. No doubt magik.

Back at the barricade, the small security group can see a flood of refugees coming, and they can also hear the battle not far off

SLB Militia: Sir! That's legion gunfire coming from the woods!
SLB Captain: We have to cover those refugees!

SLB Captain: Deploy the mortars!

A few League troops nearby try to help hold the attack back, but it's of little use. they're simply outgunned by the advancing Legion that pay no attention or care to their own casualties.

Artillery starts to fall on the woods and some of the Legion are blown away by it, bodies fly into the trees

The Legion troops rush forward to get ahead of the artillery, exchanging gunfire with the SLB all the way

The Sorcerer gets ready to yeet the League troops again

And telegraphs his attack so profusely that he promptly catches a bolt to the face

The last of the troops in the woods tries to flee

SLB Militia: WTF? The artillery stopped?!

They run back towards their own defense line, frantically yelling at their allies
SLB Militia: don't STOP THE MORTARS! THAT FOREST IS FLOODED WITH THEM! KEEP SHOOTING!! HELP!

The message gets passed down the trench
SLB Militia: More mortars! keep firing!

SLB Militia: We're hitting them! keep firing!

Atop one of the hills, a cloaked figure stands and observes the League defenders from afar, presumably an officer of the Legion. Yells across the field, taunting his enemies
Minos: Watch and weep!

His troops crest the hill and move towards the road

Minos: Rip them apart!

All at once, the fleeing refugees become stuck in a shooting gallery as Legion Marauders and Cyborgs mercilessly fire into the crowd

A League Drone Tank escorting the crowd attempts to intervene..

But gets hit and blown up by something immediately

Terrified refugees clamber over the sandbags and fortifications, and the League troops can do nothing but watch for a moment as the stream of fleeing civilians blocks any shot they have on the hillside

SLB Militia: Captain! they're slaughtering civilians! we have to do something!
SLB Captain: I know!.. but hold this position! We can't do anything for those out there!

The troops from the flank go rogue, ignoring the Captains orders

SLB Militia: Hurry!

SLB Captain: No! Get back here! that's an order!
