615 615 Breach The City

The Terminus Trading Company forces advanced with little delay through the outer suburbs of the Capital city before the Volga could mount a proper defence, capturing half of the target within the first hour of the battle. 

But after that, progress ground to a halt. It seemed that the Volga did have Mecha, and a lot of them, but they had been stored within the inner ring of the city and hadn't been deployed out to the perimeter with the rest of their forces. Instead, they had dug in and prepared to hold everything behind the original wall of the fortress city for as long as they could. 

The bombardment from the Super Heavy Mecha was taking a toll on them, though, as well as the city behind them, and sporadic bursts from the Cutters' main weapons were keeping the city's defensive barrier deactivated, leaving them exposed to the outside assault.
