Captain Don's blood-soaked order fell like a giant stone into stagnant waters, stirring a suffocating silence across the GNA troops' public channel.
There was no rousing response, no roar of engines, only the crackle of static and the sporadic gunfire from "Razorback" echoing mockingly in the air.
On the battlefield, the soldiers, who just moments before were barely maintaining an offensive under the officers' whips and curses, completely stalled.
They looked blankly towards the command vehicle, then fearfully towards the "Razorback," resembling giant beast's fangs in the wind erosion rock area.
The news of Commander Yarif being shot in the head by Captain Don himself, and the bloody massacre of the guards by the SBS unit, spread across the battlefield like the most terrifying plague, instantly shattering the last vestiges of cohesion and fighting spirit in this already heavily battered force.
"Run!"
