Before operation

Summary Nearl's sarcastic tone infuriates Mephisto, and a sniper named Faust demonstrates his outrageous prowess. Faust's superb sniping abilities are terrifying, but now that the enemy has shown his hand, there is a way to fight back.
<Background 1>
Mephisto	What's with this woman...
Nearl	...You there. The Reunion forces worked like a well-oiled machine when they took over the Chernobog military strongholds. But your men act like deranged thugs. Mindless slaughter, burning down the city, hunting down innocents... This was all for your own sadistic pleasure, was it not? Someone base enough to plot these senseless crimes at a time like this.. could not possibly have designed the plan to take down an entire city. Your commander probably ordered you to cause chaos, but you succumbed to your perversion and tastelessness.
Mephisto	... ...Faust. I want her shot through the mouth.
Faust	...
Nearl	!
[Faust, a Reunion Phidian sniper, fires a shot from his crossbow at Nearl which is blocked by her shield, though the resulting force breaks Nearl's guard.]
Nearl	*cough* *cough*...
Amiya	Nearl!
Dobermann	Their sniper... is ridiculous! If Nearl gets hit again, she won't be able to defend herself anymore!
Amiya	Nearl, you need to retreat!
Nearl	I can't... He's too powerful. I can't afford to let him hit our squads. I have to intercept his attacks!
Mephisto	She managed to block Faust's ballista... with only a shield––?! Unbelievable... Impossible! Do it again!! Blow her to pieces!
Faust	––!
Nearl	What... It's coming from my right? !
Dobermann	Oh no! Hurry, dodge––
Ace	As if i'd let you!
[Ace protects Nearl from another of Faust's shots with his shield.]
Amiya	Ace!
Ace	Snipers, take aim! Target the raised platform to the south. Fire!
[Rhodes Island snipers fire at the location directed by Ace, which compromises Faust and forcing him to relocate.]
Faust	...!
Mephisto	What?! How dare you... How dare you!
Amiya	Did we get him?
Ace	I doubt it. The most we can hope for... is to put some pressure on him. Unfortunately, we don't have the time to dissect our enemies' tactics.
Dobermann	He's very mobile and has high firepower. The longer this drags on, the less likely we'll be able to block his shots!
Nearl	We can't give him time to set up...! Amiya, make your move while Team E3's Snipers keep him occupied!
Amiya	Understood! Team E1 Snipers, come with me and suppress Reunion's forces! Team E2, use all the firepower you have to break through their defensive line!
<Background fades out and in>
Mephisto	You filthy vermin... Why won't you just obediently roll over and die? Why can't i just put an end to you all right here? ...I want to kill... every... single... one... of you...
Ace	Nearl, now's your chance! Hurry!
Nearl	All members of Team E4, we're going to break through their formation! We're going to clear everything out of our way in one fell swoop! Let's run wild!!
Reunion Member	Fire! Fire! Don't let her get any closer... Huh...? What?! She was twenty meters away just a moment ago... Guhh... Aaarrghh!
[Nearl strikes down the Reunion soldier.]
Nearl	If you wish to stand against a Kazimierz knight, come back after you've trained a few more decades. Dobermann! Follow me!
Dobermann	Understood!
