It felt frustrating to Ves and everyone else to interrupt their escape due to an unforeseen outcome.
Their original escape plan became invalid because the armored transport and the escort mechs they were supposed to meet no longer existed!
Without those four extra Infinity Guard mechs, the remaining four biomechs would have to endure a lot more pressure. A lot less people wanted to mess with eight mechs as opposed to half that number!
While the scale of combat within the massive tunnel complex was rather small, it became worse as the areas got bigger. For example, the massive underground hangar space up ahead hosted several different groups of mechs!
Perhaps the Roving Hunter mechs could fight against one of these groups, but if another group joined in, then the situation would quickly spin out of control!
