Max didn't have to wait long until the Narsians responded. His thermal and energy scanners showed over a thousand enemy forces heading for the park where Tarith's Rage was standing. Sure, she took out a small patrol that was harassing a single wing of mecha, but wasn't that response overboard?
That was when Max realized that the scouts weren't the only ones that had made a move. The Phalanx Class Super Heavy known as Carpe Noctem had also begun to set up for an imminent attack. It had traveled while crouched, to blend in with the Crusader Class Escort, and it was at the end of the main road behind the targets that his Mecha units had been sent to destroy.
The Narsians must have noticed them, and now they were bearing down on the Mecha at a full run.
[Everyone, take cover. Let the Narsians run past you, they should be heading for the Carpe Noctem.] Max ordered, and the Crusaders started looking for a place to hide.
