The mechas swooping in at high speed didn't bother with words, opening fire immediately.
Miles Sherman and Erin Xavier instantly deployed their own cannons. The two sides exchanged bombardments, the blasts washing over the green trees below. The high-temperature shells left scorched trails, setting the woods on fire with a sharp, CRACKLING sound.
It was only then that Miles Sherman noticed Zoe Pierce, the person he was protecting behind him, had also used her mecha to attack the enemy reinforcements.
A few more mechas had been dispatched, swelling the enemy's ranks.
Before the next bombardment arrived, Erin Xavier grabbed Zoe Pierce's mecha and pulled it back, retreating.
Realizing they were trying to escape, several mechas attempted to bypass Miles Sherman to give chase, but he shot them down before they could get close.
The man in the command center's brow furrowed once more. "Send someone to catch them."
The more they ran, the more it proved something was amiss.
