nThe Mage Battalion started their assault against the android miners and their protectors…

nWhile this is all happening, Avalon's forces were also riling up the Imperial Army to bring the fight near the mining site.

nThe forces were made of automatons and Mech Knights fully controlled by the A.I.

nThe only downside with the A.I.'s army was that they were unable to use any Mana Spells or Mana Artifacts installed in them.

nHowever, it was still enough to create troubles for the Imperial Army…

nTheir Hadron Cannons and Radiant Wave can still damage the alien's spaceships and destroy their Mechs. As a matter of fact, it was a bit more effective since the aliens were expecting Mana Spells to rain on them.

nThey seem to have adjusted their barrier to defend the spells but it backfired to them.

nBeep!

n 190 Mech Frames and 314 Khrusams Detected.

n Prepare to transition into Phase 2

n Prepare to transition into Phase 2

nAvalon repeated to ensure that the whole army is aware of the upcoming battle.

n Special Arians Team, remain on standby.

n Virgan Mage Battalion, proceed to encircle the Invader Spaceships.

n All automatons from Maja, clean up the remaining androids and marauders gears on land.

n Golden Mech Team, protect the Fourth Airship at all costs. More Subspace Blaster Cannons will be fired.

nAvalon did its best to control the situation. However, it is still up to them to fight against the aliens. Their skills and magic would still matter in a close-range fight against the imperial soldiers.

nRoss Schien looked at the situation below and as expected, the Airships above started getting attention.

nIt is only a matter of time before the Mech Frames would be sent to destroy them. Their team has to protect the airships especially the Fourth Veritas Airship where the Cryptic Mages are currently waiting.

nWhom~ Whom~

nHe then noticed that the most troublesome Mech Frames called Wolf's Sledger started flying towards their spot.

nThese Sledgers have bulky brown armor plates and are carrying large cannons on their arms. Aside from that, they are capable of creating a powerful active force field that allows them to defend against their Mana Spells.

nFinally, their Psionic Pulse that ignores their Mana Shells and defenses were too powerful… Luckily, they only have to buy some time to fight them and a few Mech Knights controlled by Avalon will also help them a bit later.

n

"Everyone!

"

nHe didn't have to say more as the Lucent Knights with long swords and guns on their arms went into their formation.

nThey wouldn't allow them to get near to the Airships.

n

"Charge!

"

nThere is no point engaging in longe range battle against the Sledger Mech Knights. They would be at a disadvantage if that happens. They were already aware that the Psionic Pulse can also affect their Mech Frames so it is better used against enemies from afar.

nThis is why they brought out their swords and forced them to engage in close combat.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nOne of the Lucent Knights managed to hit the armor of the Mech Frame but instead of them being sliced, their sword weapons were destroyed!

n

"Aah! Helped!

"

nRoss heard a member of the Lucent Force and immediately took a glance to see what was happening.

nHe saw another Lucent Knight managed to destroy a cannon meant to fire the Psionic Pulse… It was indeed a successful task but unfortunately, the Wolf's Sledger Mech wasn't just good with that technology…

nHe saw the Mech Frame opened its burning palm and crushed the Lucent Knight blocking its way.

nTheir Mech Knights were melted and destroyed by such a powerful technology!

nThey have never used this before in the First Offensive!

n

"Tsk! Everyone, do not let the enemy Mech touch you with their palms. Be careful!

"

nRoss could no longer save the pilot but he can at least warn the other Mech Knights fighting with him.

n'We can't be overwhelmed here…'

n The enemy reinforcements will be here in 40 seconds. Avalon reported which gave him hope…

nThey just have to survive for a bit longer and the Cryptic Mages and Wallace's Mech Knights with Radiant Wave would be able to help them…

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nHe then saw the automatons from Maja and the Mage Battalion from Virgan started engaging against the Bio-Armored Imperial Soldiers.

nThe soldiers were visibly stronger like a mini Mech Frame as they can kill all the battle mages and automatons blocking their way… It looks like a one-side battle to him.

nIf this continues, those on the ground would be annihilated.

nHowever, he doesn't have time to worry about them…

n

"Dodge!

"

nHe detected the activation of Subspace Blaster thanks to his enhanced senses… However, a few of the Mech Knights were still caught by the blaster obliterating them completely…

nThe blaster didn't even end there and still managed to hit the hull of one of the airships above them…

nLuckily, the Fourth airship was quite far from the line of fire.

nRoss then continued casting various mana spells to deter the enemy mech frames… He wasn't that talented in terms of casting spells but he could at least dual cast.

nCasting a Fire Arrow using one of his Mech Knight's Mana Artifacts while casting a Mana Bullet on the other was still something he could do so easily.

nThe other members of his team and do the same as they started pressuring the enemies…

nBoom! Boom!

nTwo of the Mech Frames near him suddenly exploded after a red and black wave passed through them…

n'Radiant Wave!'

nHe easily noticed the special technology of Wallace's Mech Knights as he looked in the direction where they came from.

nHe saw ten of these Lotus Mech Knights as they rushed to their help… Because they attacked from behind the Sledger's they were unable to properly dodge as they quickly cleaned up their forces.

nOn the other hand, the Dragon's Warrior Mechs were currently dealing with the bombardment of 20 or so Airships from the sky… It will not be easy for them to fire their Subspace Blaster again…

n'Since they are already here… The enemy reinforcements should be arriving…'

nRoss thought and looked behind the Lotus Mechs…

nAs expected, hundreds of Khrusams together with Mech Frames were chasing them…

nFinally, it's time for the Cryptic Mages to use their newly-acquired power.

n
