As the demonstration battle proceeded onwards, the endurance of the mechs started to reach their limits.
The rifleman mechs could barely be considered hyper mechs. The differences in E energy absorption and conversion were so much that these machines could already be regarded as lastgen mechs in front of the Fey Fianna!
Nonetheless, the advantage of numbers had the potential to trump any technological edge.
It was extremely common for more powerful and sophisticated mechs to get defeated by swarms of lesser adversaries that might not even cost as much in total.
The rifleman mechs may be weaker in every aspect, but they had numbers by their side. That not only increased their firepower, but enabled them to surround and flank the outnumbered Fey Fiannas.
This started to make an increasingly greater difference even if the rifleman mechs started to get picked off over time.
