Silver lets out a sigh.
"Alright. Go back and tell others that we have wounded, I will stay here and watch changeling."

Silver returns to watching this same changeling he helped earlier. He knocks the rifle away, just in case. He points at the changeling's bandaged abdomen.
"It is ironic. I pull bullet out of you..."
He points to the fresh bullet hole in him, still hurting like hell and still making it painful to breathe.
"...you put bullet it me."

The creature maintains its eyes on Silver. It pulls its lips even further back, and it tries to scoot backwards towards the wall.

He chuckles lightly, and shakes his head.
"I know you can not understand me, but when you said you were going to find other group of changelings, I thought you would go back to front."

Silver scratches his chin, trying to think of ways to communicate with this changeling but failing. He instead decides to whistle a tune while he watches the drone and waits for some ponies to get back and take his wounded compatriots away.

"Draconequus."
He rubs the area around his new gunshot wound, wincing.
"I need to stop nearly dying. I have more than filled my quota for today."

"Good to see you're still alive sir, and indeed I think we've all filled our quota. Is this the last of the Changeling positions?"

"I would hope. It seemed like there was more than there aught to be here, but we still need to check grain elevator to see if there are still changelings there."
He gets up from his previously seated position, with no small amount of effort.
"Nng...even if there are, I do not plan on sending our ponies in there. I have different, better plan."

"Even a single Changeling on Equestrian soil is more than there ought to be."
Amber looks down at Silver's wound
"The Grain Elevator is compromised? What do you have in mind?"

It's a nasty wound, rifle-caliber and punching straight through his chest. It's a wonder how he's still alive, let alone conscious.
"Using our mortar and at least one of those AT guns to blast grain elevator to rubble, if changeling position is still there."

He stares down at it
"Well, that's definitely the safest option. We've lost too many ponies today."

He nods, and lets out a little wince as he takes a breath.
"That we did. I do not plan on losing any more of our ponies. Have you heard anything from Mild Mill or Hazelred yet? I saw that shell hit their position."

"Yes. They came up and met with us outside the facility. It was a bit of a tense moment, with Mills forgetting the password, but we sorted it out."

Silver sighs in relief.
"Спасибо Селестии. I was worried when I saw top of church tower just disappear..."
He looks down at the wounded but stabilized soldiers.
"I do not suppose you brought other ponies? These three need to be brought someplace safe, and I have changeling prisoner I need to escort."
He silently adds in "...again." under his breath.

"No, they hit the steeple above him. When that happened, he figured they had his location and ran out of there along with Hazelred, who I'm told, was almost dragged. Maybe the Changelings were just firing at random and got darn lucky, because they didn't shoot that position again. Still, his shots caused the Changelings to think they were being flanked, and to keep a portion of their soldiers out of the battle until it was already too late."
He too, looks at these wounded ponies.
"Well, we're trying to get a truck working to take the wounded back to town hall. I'm not entirely sure how that's going. Privates Marsh Grass and Silent Spring made an almost heroic effort to take a wounded pony back to the town hall on their own already."
Then he looks down to the drone
"Why don't you just shoot it?"

He looks at the drone as well.
"Despite fact that he is reason I have very big hole in me, I am only pony he shot, and I am still alive. And despite that changelings probably would not show such mercy...it would leave bad taste in my mouth to shoot enemy who has already surrendered."

"Are you sure? I think I would have shot him already... But you are the Platoon Commander now, Silver Sword."

He chuckles, though there's remorse to it.
"I hope not for long, and that Lieutenant makes speedy recovery. It also means you are now my second-in-command."

An event that was omitted, but should have happened, was the door opposite Silver's last position being opened, the corpse of a drone being pushed aside in the process, and the pink pegasus pony walking through.
>>141653
"Indeed it does." He says, smiling for just a moment, before the smile is removed. "Let us pray for the swift recovery of all. Come now, let us go see if they've got it working."

Silver nods, turns to the drone, and gives him an order to stand up and start following him. He turns to Amber immediately afterwards.
"Follow drone so he does not get any funny ideas."

"Alright, let's get this roach upright"
He moves closer in, and using a rifle, makes a waving motion to get up, and then pokes him with a bayonet just to emphasize the point.
The ponies go outside, to hear the sound of a diesel engine and to see an attempt at loading the wounded into the back of the truck.
Silver sees the private from earlier, and the pink pegasus corporal. They have with them the one daffodil colored private who helped translate before. He keeps his limbs tight together.

"Ah, good, you are here. I need to talk with our 'friend' again."
While he says this, he looks to where he left the other two wounded changelings, already having an idea what might have happened to them in his absense.

The first drone, the one Silver set against the truck, is still there, propped up and notably without any bayonet wounds. The second one, the one with the bandage around the neck, is missing from its position.

"Hmm..."
Silver quickly returns to the matter at hoof, and looks at the daffodil-colored stallion.
"I am sorry about dragging you all way out here, but I would appreciate it if you would translate for me again."

Silver notices this, and decides to lead the drone and the pony away from the scene of carnage, so they can have a quieter conversation without eavesdroppers.
"When you said you were going to find other group of changelings, I thought you would be going back to changeling side of front."

"Yes. And also our next target, after retaking telephone office. I thought that would be obvious."
He points to the hole in his chest.
"You know, I am rather cross about this."

He maintains the awkward smile for another several seconds, until that slowly fades to a more angry, determined expression.
Then he starts yelling. The private doesn't have any difficulty in translating it word for word, almost as it is spoken, and his soft, almost intimidated voice contrasts strongly with the creature in front of him.
"The other drones in my squad - my whole platoon - died so that our brothers in the mountains may live. I ran away. I surrendered. If I had set the grenade off, it could have helped the night attacks. Their deaths may have meant something. Now, my brothers will die in greater numbers because I was weak."

Silver doesn't falter in the face of the drone's anger, but inside the unicorn knows it's justified.
"I will not belittle you, your brothers, and what you have accomplished. You are fighting for your country and your people, just as we are. And, from that perspective, you and your brothers have already done much here to help changeling war effort."

There is a pause before the translator starts to speak, whether because the words are more difficult, or because he needs a moment to process it.
The drone must need time as well, because he is silenced, at least for the immediate time being, by Silver's words in reply.

Satin trips.
"I will be honest with you, you and your brothers have inflicted large casualties against us, particularly among our officers and squad commanders. While there are not many dead, there are many wounded, with many unable to continue fighting for some time. It will be hard to defend if your forces successfully push us back to Vale. And with how you successfully held up our communications, there is little chance for our lines to reinforce in time for your assault."

This is relayed, and takes him a moment to reply. His voice is nearly emotionless:
"Maybe then... I can be satisfied."

Silver nods. He actually smiles at the changeling a little, and salutes him.
"You and your brothers have fought valiantly in face of such adversity, and have achieved great success for Hives. There is no dishonor in that. I salute you, as worthy adversary."

Silver shakes his head.
"Unless you want to, no. I will cut you deal. Even with you shooting me, I have not forgotten how you returned our missing ponies to us. Life, for life. Return home to Changeling Lands and live to fight another day, I will not stop you."
Silver shakes his head.

"Well... One of those tubes for maps and posters would fit it. Or at least it would if there were no scope... I don't know. There must be something in there somewhere."

Silver nods.
"Just be sure to actually leave Vale this time. I can not guarantee you will get so lucky as to encounter me rather than another pony."
Silver nods.

Silver stares at him for a few seconds, then tilts his head in confusion when he doesn't leave.
"Is something wrong?"

The translator raises a hoof, and for the first time, raises his voice
"Flieg, du narr!"
The drone, right in front of Silver, transforms in a brilliant flash of yellow-green into a grey pegasus, and then jumps up and takes flight towards the twilight.

Silver watches the drone slowly disappear into the distance.
"That got him to go. Strange. He almost looked my son, if I just got passing glance at him."
