5878 Diamond in the Rough

The battle unfolded like one of those dramatic boss battles of the action games that Ves used to struggle with when he was a kid.

Back then, the only apparent purpose for all of the mechs and soldiers that participated alongside the player character was to showcase the destructive prowess of the big bad guy.

Right now, Ves felt like he had been put in the exact same situation.

The difference was that real lives and expensive hardware were at stake!

Unlike in the games that his much younger self played with gusto, the soldiers who bravely risked their lives to fight a being that was pretty much a god had real lives.

To see them die whenever a chain lightning bolt coursed through their Dread Armors as if their impressive armors only worked as conductors was painful to Ves.

It was one thing for these soldiers to die in a meaningful fashion, but they hardly accomplished anything despite their huge numbers!
