User:Justanothergrunt/Battle of Pertow

The Battle of Pertow was one of the final battles of the Covenant-Brute War. It took place at the small town of Pertow, which had surrendered to the Covenant forces.

Raiding The Old Covenant Camp
The Brute commander Lokstok first led his army to the Covenants nearby previous campsite, now turned into a lookout point. Lokstok personally led a small strike against the camp, which was suprised by the hidden Brutes who left no survivors. From this point the Brutes were able to survey the Covenant forces in the town.

Attacking Pertow
After gathering information on the defenses, Lokstok ordered a flanking maneveur to take out the turrets along the side of the town.

The Covenant spotted the advancing Brute army, and primed the majority of their turrets in their direction. As soon as this was done, a larger Brute ambush appeared on the side of the turrets and succeeded in destroying them.

The Covenant footsoldiers formed up inside the town, and marched to meet the Brutes, and as soon as they left the town the Covenant forces were attacked on three sides by the Brutes, leading to a steady build up of bodies, as a communications error occured and the Covenant General, Orany 'Lopee, failed to call a halt to the Covenants continous advancing.

Brutes in Town
Eventually the message got through to the front line commanders, and the Covenant broke rank and retreated into the town, with the Brutes following. The Covenant forces reformed to open fire, only to find the Brutes now had them surrounded. Orany 'Lopee refused to surrender, leading to much loss of life. Eventually after 'Lopee's death, the next in command surrendered his forces to the Brutes.
