Battle ensued quickly. The Mech Corps stationed a lot of mech regiments at the flanks. The generals did so not just to cover every direction, but also keep the forces in reserve.
Now, the Flagrant Vandals and the other mech regiments stationed in flanks were suddenly forced to sortie sooner than anticipated because the sandmen defied their expectations yet again!
"Where is their sandman planet? Why have they broken themselves up again?!"
"Shut up! Just shoot them! This monolith isn't going down as easily as before!"
"What the hell?! Is that an energy shield?! Since when were the sandmen capable of projecting shields!?"
"Where do they get all of the technology from? Did they engulf an MTA mech or CFA warship?"
"Ahh! That's not a laser beam! That's a positron beam!"
The opening stages of the Battle for Bentheim started off explosively as the dispersed elements of the Mech Corps started to clash against the nearest sandman monoliths!
