Commander Melkor Larkinson waited as the scattered mechs of the Larkinson Army withdrew from their forward positions and arrived at the rallying point that he had set.
Dozens of mechs trickled in over the course of half an hour. He expected around a thousand mechs to arrive by the time he was ready to commence his plan.
This was not a large amount of mechs compared to all of the small craft that had been committed in this star system alone.
Melkor along with many other mech pilots had become more and more accustomed to fighting battles involving tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of mechs.
The native aliens fielded even more phasefighters so long as they were able to transport them all to the frontlines!
