A vast quantity of abandoned machinery covered the ground outside the city gate.
The once snow-covered plains had now melted into faint, thread-like patterns.
Sunlight traced across the top of the sky, gradually sinking westward.
The heavy machinery finally reached the city gate.
Where once the machinery had been densely packed, now only scattered remnants remained.
The few remaining anti-aircraft armored vehicles ceded space, moving to either side to clear the way for the heavy armored vehicles behind them.
Clusters of artillery fire continued to rain down between these anti-aircraft armored vehicles and heavy machinery.
More concentrated barrages simultaneously filled the skies, launched from anti-aircraft vehicles positioned farther back.
Mechas flying through the air swarmed toward the city walls like storm clouds.
