617 The Capital Building

Max and his unit were not alone in their advance through the city. However, they were the fastest moving. The Volga defence forces were utterly terrified of the Titan Class Mecha and had begun to flee before Max could fully engage their defences on that side of the fortress. 

He was already coming up on the front steps of the Captial Building, with the Cygnus wings of the force only ten blocks away, and expected to arrive within a few minutes unless the Volga decided to mount a last-ditch defence. 

"Volga Government Forces. Surrender now and present yourselves for trial in the case of unprovoked war crimes against the Reaver Trade Group." Max demanded over the loudspeaker. 

"Why would we do that? The Volga are not subject to any alien court." Someone shouted back from one of the upper-floor windows.
