Blood mingled with melting snow, creating a gruesome scene on the muddy ground.
Those two blue-painted steam-powered mechas were no longer able to withstand the enemy's ferocity.
After one mecha had its weak point exposed due to injury, it was quickly decapitated—helmet and all—by a high-speed rotating chainsaw axe.
The massive steel body crumpled to the ground, blood gushing from the severed neck. In its final moment, it managed to take down its enemy with it.
"Ah!!! Bastard!!!" The remaining blue mecha pilot let out a piercing roar: "I'll kill all of you!"
His name was Li Yang, and he was the captain of the third unit of Yuezhou's Reserve Mecha Battalion.
Ordered to garrison in Yuezhou City—one of the Great Tang Empire's three major recruitment gathering cities—it was also known as the Yuezhou Defense Force.
As part of the reserve troops, Li Yang's greatest hope was to go to the frontlines, kill enemies, and make a name for himself.
