The Mage accompanying Druao was a veteran from the Tower of Stars' Alchemy Department, his role essentially that of an engineer responsible for managing and maintaining the "Heavy Cannon Shooters."
It wasn't supposed to be an interesting assignment. The operation on the Eastern Line was just a feint, and these five units were the weakest of the giant Mechanical Bodies of their generation. This was all to ensure the Empire Army would miscalculate the new weapons' combat effectiveness.
They had to feign weakness on the Eastern Line first so that the thirteen upgraded models on the Western Line could deliver a sufficient shock when they finally launched a full-scale assault on the Empire.
But what he had expected to be a boring assignment took an unexpectedly amusing turn.
"I never thought Rorschach Mage had a younger brother..." the Mage mused, stroking his chin. He smirked as he followed Druao to the prisoner-of-war camp.
