Something unusual happened today. I managed to reach the far outskirts of the city, but I was stopped in my tracks by a fast flowing river.
All along the riverbank were a series of old bunkers and pill boxes and several water filtration plants.
I was about to attempt a crossing, but I was quickly forced to rethink when two squads of Covenant troops arrived at the plant across the other side. So I took cover in one of the taller bunkers opposite the plant.
A couple of marines emerged from the cover of the trees, but they were quickly killed by the aliens. About an hour or so later a couple of pelicans arrived but they were shot down. Some more marines turned up shortly after along with a taller and much faster soldier.
He was dressed in a different type of armour to the marines and appeared to be leading them. Several of the marines died in the intense fire-fight that followed, but the taller soldier moved at an alarming rate through the small covenant force, tearing them apart. Even the larger aliens were cut to pieces with relative ease.
After the small battle had finished, and the remaining marines and that soldier had moved on, I made my way across the river on one of the small walkways.
I slowly walked along the path that the marines had taken, taking care to stay well behind and out of sight.
In the distance I could hear more gunfire. But after another 5 minutes all was quiet. So I move up through a small gulley. At the end of it were dozens of dead aliens and a crashed Pelican drop ship. I grabbed a few more supplies and headed of through a small rock filled pathway, following the marines.
