Behind the Horizon...

Booooom...

A huge explosion arose in the site where around ten soldiers were fighting. The heat caused by the blast was enough to melt iron at a radius of ten meters.

However, the huge mech that was at the epicenter of the blast was not quite destroyed yet. Raising the huge hand, it knocked at the soldier that was flying at the side of the mech. To the person who was looking at the effect of the explosion on the battlefield, that could see a huge hand comparatively slowly knocking at the small annoying bug. But the soldier who was flying in his combat suit, the hit flew him out of the area, at the same time destroyed almost half of the functionality of the suit.

Huge amounts of bullets were being fired from a ground-based combat soldier in his suit. Three other soldiers were flying in the sky while shooting at the mech with laser rifles. At the same time, the ground-based tank was shooting at the target with plasma shots.

"The target is rushing towards the enemy's base. If the mech gets out of the radar disrupter field, the mission is over."

"Then don't let it pass out of sight."

"I think the pilot in the mech is an expert."

"Too bad he is from the enemy's side."

Booooom...

Another blast destroyed one of the legs of the mech. Ground-based mech, even though it might have been an expert pilot in the cockpit, the moment it lost its movement feature, it was nothing more than a motionless statue waiting for the slaughter. Of course, it was not a slaughter the soldiers around were trying to achieve.

"Sir, the mech legs are done for. It won't be able to get out anymore."

"Hmm, Good work. Get inside the mech and arrest the pilot."

"Yes sir."

Obeying the orders for the leader of the military unit, the soldiers rushed to the mech and force opened the cockpit. The leader of the unit was talking with other leaders while looking at the war site.

"So is the pilot an expert?"

"The force out of the mech was a bit powerful compared to an ordinary pilot, however, it wasn't that big as that of an expert."

"So it's somewhere in the middle, a defacto then. These large metal junk are still a real pain in the *ss."

"It's because of the size. The metal layering is just too dense. But it's good too, no matter where it goes, it just can't hide."

Rooaaarrr...

"Exo-beasts? Where?"

"Sir, a horde of exo-beasts has been sighted. It consists of around fifteen beasts in total. Though some of them could be hiding underground. Though it's not near and doesn't seem to know about the situation here, it's good to be careful."

"What happened to the pilot?"

"Sir, the pilot has been caught. What are we supposed to do about this mech?"

"No need to waste our time, just shove the pilot in the container. It's another defacto expect pilot in the custody." The leader replied focused on the main target."As for that huge junk do whatever you want, I don't care. Just make sure not to make too much noise, I don't want those beasts up our *ss"

Exo-beasts, one of the strong wildlife existence. These beasts could not be called a normal beast. The fact that they also have external bones covering their huge body gave their opponents lots of problems while trying to cause harm. In other words, they could strike you hard but you couldn't return the same amount of favor.

It was a worse situation to fight under.

"Sir, all ten soldiers on the mission have returned without any harm. However, I cannot say the same about combat suits."

"It's fine. Tell all the soldiers to pack up. We are leaving the planet." Taking a paper out of the storage module he presented it to his underlings, "We have a new task to be present for."

"D.S.C.M.C, not this competition. I hate this nonsense. All those pathetic rats messing up our suits. I don't wanna go there. Sir how about we reject this task."

"Only the beginning two-phase, after that the remaining designers are quite capable. And this task is given to us without any options to reject."

"Ehh, no options to reject? Why is that? Never heard of that before."

"That's precisely the main reason why I presented this task to you all. Or else, I would have rejected the task myself. I think the higher up are planning something, something big, and maybe just maybe, they're trying to accomplish something out of the match."

"Like what?"

"I have absolutely no idea. However, our unit has been asked for this task instead of any other units from this planet. So tell me, what have we accomplish, that the other military units have not?"

"Umm leader, not being disrespectful, but is it you talking or the new mental enhancement serum, I am pretty sure, you never thought about anything before coming at a conclusion until some days ago."

"Ehh! Now that you mention it, it could also be the serum that's talking. But I am not mad about it. If anything, I am quite pleased with its effects, even though I never thought about its aftereffects before consuming it. So about my question?"

"Everything. We are the only unit with the best task accomplishment record in the entire planet, which also happens to be might I add, the planet that is considered as a three-way warzone."

"Exactly. So I believe we can see something very different from what we have seen in the competition until now." Taking a deep breath he continued, "Tell everyone to start packing up. I will contact the backup unit to take over our responsibility. We will leave this planet in the evening. That's all."

"Yes sir."
