The Struggle for Control

Joshua felt a little bad about it, but he controlled the Everchanger to back off from the Eight Lord of Takansha.

The withdrawal did not change the situation all that much. The Greenaxe and the Bloodripper were already doing a good job at keeping the sole remaining orven phase lord in a defensive posture.

Though there was no true safety on the battlefield, the focus of the engagement had definitely shifted towards the space around the greater phase lords. They were leading the armada forward and had already begun to demolish the most outlying orbital defenses.

The Everchanger hardly attracted any attention under the circumstances. It was as if the expert hero mech had become inconsequential, which happened to be true in this case.

Joshua was tired of being weak. He did not want to spend the next years of fighting as an expert pilot that was only able to tickle the lesser phase lords at best.
