1198 Form The Line

[Commander, the First, Second, Third and Fifth Regiments are on the line. The Fourth Regiment has encountered hostile resistance within the perimeter of our planned encirclement.] Felicity reported as the first wave of Android Mecha were being deployed.

With their thrusters and orbital combat capability, the Mecha could move overland at mach ten while flying at low altitudes, and fight at hundreds of kilometres an hour with ease and targeting accuracy.

They had slowed down to subsonic speeds to reduce buffeting when they had detected enemy movement, and the Bloody Warriors had immediately attacked when they realized that they had been discovered. 

Max hadn't expected to seem them so close already, but it was possible that the Myceloid God had dropped more groups outside the main clusters, both from the Alliance and the Great Enemy.
