The battle of Enigma City continues to intensify and Grand Army starting to take losses. When a group of five men is scouting a remote-controlled bomb exploded in the building near them destroying it, and the five men were buried by the falling debris. unfortunately, their exoskeleton wasn't able to protect them from being buried by over a million tons of debris.
When Tom heard it He immediately sends drones to scout and finds where the bomber is located.
But that was just the start, the fight with Dragko also produce some casualty the fight was so intense that even Gerry was injured in the battle, and have to be sent back to a temporary base to recover.
"I'm fine, how many of my men we lost?" Ask Gerry, trying to pull himself from the bed.
"Sir. 32 died in the fight, and more than a hundred are wounded some are in critical condition. But their lives are no longer in danger." Said the military doctor.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours back.
"Sir we identify one of the enemies, he was Dragko former Ace pilot and one of the leaders of Enigma city he was hiding one kilometer away in front of the industrial zone we don't know how many of them are hidden in there."
"Good job, send reconnaissance Drones to scout ahead bring the artillery we will bombard them till they exposed themselves. And bring me my gears I have a feeling I may have use for them here." Said, Gerry
"Right away sir."
Gerry was standing on the roof of the small building he was looking ahead at the industrial zone, and although he can only see the silhouette of the area ahead he can feel the danger waiting for them. that's one of the reasons he asked for the artillery. He's not going to risk the lives of his men to search the trap infested place. Of course, he only assumed the place ahead is full of traps.
Soon a man comes to Gerry he was a supply specialist from the army, he gestured and a Black cylindrical container appeared before him it was 7 meters tall and around 3 in diameters, Gerry put his hand on the box and it read his biometric and open up.
Inside is a special armor made specifically for him. The armor was design by him personally and even though it's only rank 5 techs. It poses unimaginable power compare to human technology.
It looks like a miniature Mech but no moving external part can be seen outside. It was like it was made by a single piece of metal. No gap can be seen outside it has a sleek design and overall jet black color and red light represent the eyes it was quite menacing to look at.
The supply specialist was surprised for it was the first time he saw it, no, in fact, it was the first time it was exposed to the army as Gerry make it to a point that no one can see him when he was practicing with it.
"Give me a report said, Gerry."
"Sir artillery is in positions and ready to attack."
"Good, fire!"
...
"Boss the enemies are approaching us 1 klick to east."
"How many are they?" Ask Dragko.
"Boss about 4000 they have many heavy types of equipment with them."
"I see, let them come are the bombs in place?"
"Yes Boss everything is ready"
"Good prepares for combat attack the moment they enter our range, unfortunately, we don't have any long-range heavy weapon with us, as that bastard Li Fang Hoards them all."
"Yes Boss everyone is ready for combat"
Boom! Boom!
"Shit!" Dragko Cursed he didn't think they will bombard them from a distance.
"Looks like our enemy is not stupid and quite brutal they didn't even bother to check before they bombard us." Said Dragko.
"Boss our man in the east was hit and lost many of them we can't keep hiding here and let them bombard us to death."
"I know, no need to say it, go prepare the warbots I will lead the charge."
"Alright everyone boards your warbots, the Boss will lead the way lets kill them all!!!"
Warbots is a mini-combat armor suit around 1/3 the size of Mecha and was mainly used for small scale assault where Full Mecha can't be used.
Gerry looks at the base industrial zone in front of him and saw smoke and fires all around it.
"Prepare the tanks they should be coming out soon I detected many energy signatures in the industrial base," Gerry ordered. "This one is bigger than the others, must be the boss it should be a full mecha." Said Gerry with a smile.
"Non-combat personnel go back 2 kilometers back and prepare for an emergency. Our enemies are mini bots. Use canon and heavy weapons do not engage them one on one. Fire at will." Ordered Gerry he leaps back to the ground and stands in front of his men.
And although many of his men are wearing full combat exoskeleton suits it's nothing compared to what he was wearing. Unfortunately the armor he was wearing required many rare materials and can't be mass-produced at the moment but as soon as Grand Army gets a hold of the source of the materials all that will change.
One of the reasons Enigma City was chosen was because, after the war, the lands around the city changes greatly producing many rare materials, unfortunately, its almost impossible to mine them because of the weather conditions not only that the area is polluted with heavy radiations electromagnetic storms are in a constant state, making mining with machine impossible and human is not an option either.
But Grand Trading possesses technology above that of the current human have. And the machine created by the factory system is not affected by this kind of electromagnetic storm so they can mine the materials around Enigma City without any worry.
