The coalition only had 18 mechs left by the time they repelled the Ruuzon Guard mechs. The Brakkard Consortium lost two biomechs while the Right Siders lost a metallic mech.
The remainder all incurred varying degrees of damage. While the Optimon only got shot at a few times, other mechs withstood powerful hits or lost limbs!
There was no way for this diminished coalition to repel the ultralifer mech company that Ves knew for certain was coming!
Ves transmitted the sensor readings to all of the friendly mechs. "We're not in a condition to fight off forty mechs. Let's depart from this location. We should fly as far away as possible from downtown Veoline while we still can!"
He deliberately used the word 'we' in order to strengthen the suggestion that they were all in it together. Whether it made a difference or not, Ves wasn't sure, but they were all following suit.
