1149 Destabilized

Max stood among the ruins of the most recent armoured column that had faced off against him and Nico, checking the battle reports and trying to make sense of what he was seeing.

The Mecha Companies were dug into trenches to hold their positions, and the number of casualties among the Cathedral Fleet was staggering, hundreds of thousands dead along with nearly a dozen armoured regiments.

The Cutter had sent out nine replacement Mecha Companies since the Cruiser had been destroyed, and still the number of enemies was not decreasing. That shouldn't be correct, it meant that they had killed three times as many as the ship should hold, and they still weren't running low on support.

Something was very wrong with this picture, and if they didn't sort it out quickly, the cities wouldn't be able to hold, even with the Mecha and drones backing them up.
