The highway grew quiet after Golden Eagle passed through.
On each side were swiftly-made dug-outs.
The soldiers and vehicles were stationed on both ends, covering not only the highway but the area around it.
Every individual unit remained calm. Their weapons were cold from all the wait, and now, the time had come to warm them up.
The red tide was still at least a kilometer away.
However, at that moment, one of the Vanguard MBTs adjusted its cannon.
"Big Rhino to all Vanguards," Big Rhino spoke on their radio channel. "Giddy up. Bogeys on the way. Acquire your targets!"
"War Elephant copies!"
"Siege Bear, ready to rock and roll."
"..."
Multiple cannons shifted at the same time.
Their barrels lowered slightly, following the white targeting rings spreading across the Radar map. The infected were still far enough to look like a crawling stain on the highway, but each squad had already divided them into clusters and priority groups.
Big Rhino smiled inside the turret.
