Ho He spat a curse as her captured Davion Crockett burst into flames as a half-dozen Inferno SRMs spilled jellied incendiaries over its barrel-shaped chest. It was every Mechwarrior’s nightmare to die in a fire but though she flinched away instinctively Ho He held her weapons on target and scored several solid hits with her SRMs against the difficult Clan target. Autocannon slugs glanced from her armor shattering plating and sending it crashing and broken to the earth so far below. The Clans’ unusual green lasers stitched lines of destruction across the Crockett’s fat thighs.

“Come on, you fat Davion pig,” Ho He mumbled. “Kill this—” Reece Collier’s Cataphract winked off one of his secondary monitors, the dull thud of an ammunition exploding following an instant later. Ho He’s eyes snapped closed for an instant of mourning—not for the pilot, who would almost certainly survive, but for the firepower they’d just lost.

The radio crackled, Ho He couldn’t tell who spoke. Likely one of the pilots without any Chinese ancestry, they all sounded alike to her. “It looks as though the survivors are trying to withdraw.”

William’s more distinctive voice filled the comms. “Pursue and destroy, I don’t want any `Mechs or tanks leaving the battlefield intact.”
