No orders needed to be given when the horde made it to the hundred-yard mark, and it became clear that the landmines were doing nothing to slow their advance. The Fusion Flamers burst to life, scorching the air, while the explosions of the Mass Drivers were set to detonate just far enough behind the front line to throw the wounded Myceloids off their feet.
For a few glorious seconds, it was working. The horde faltered, and the mass behind the front line was forced to a stop. But then the ones behind them began throwing the off-balance and injured members of their force forward toward the Mecha, blocking the Flamers and allowing them to charge forward through the detonations of the Mass Drivers.
