The journey to Upper Hurd District from the Royal District was a 25 minutes journey but to the mech pilots of Mech Division 015, it didn't feel like 25 minutes at all, it rather felt like forever.
"10 minutes till arrival".
Lieutenant Colonel Thresher's authoritative voice blasted through the speakers of all 18 transport vessels the next moment, announcing to the mech pilots but still, none of them felt at ease.
The looming arrival time only made them more anxious.
Most people think that soldiers are robots, unfeeling machines who don't feel the scare of death when going into battle but it was a fallacy.
Soldiers were still humans, they felt as much as every other human.
They also felt fear, they were also scared.
The only thing that kept them going was their sense of duty and their training.
Time moved…
"5 minutes till arrival".
Time kept on moving…
And then, it was announced.
"1 minute till arrival".
