Ves was frozen in shock.
Calabast had just presented him with a question that could potentially shake the foundation of his belief in mechs!
As much as Ves didn't want to think about this difficult topic, the spymaster did not intend to let him off this time.
"Nothing lasts forever, Ves." She said in a matter-of-fact tone. "In the past, humanity fought with spears and bows, but where are they now? Once upon a time, infantry was actually formidable in battle, but that has no longer applied for several millennia. Obsolescence can apply to everything, even the mechs that you value so much."
"Mechs are not weak!"
