The Empire Royal Mecha Guards composed of three hundred Duke Mechs took only five minutes to break through the four defensive lines established by the three Independent Regiments, consisting of two thousand three hundred and seventy-six soldiers, and the speed of their pursuit showed no significant deceleration.
The firepower from the defensive lines was like mosquito bites to the Duke Mechs. They could choose to swat the mosquitoes with a slap, or simply choose to ignore them.
The Guards mostly chose to ignore, only attacking with their weapons or ramming through those that blocked their path, forcing them to slow down to avoid or maneuver significantly.
More than half of the Federal soldiers on the pierced temporary lines survived, yet they felt no relief because they knew they were all doomed to sacrifice.
