It was Victor Long and his team of slightly over a hundred mechas.
Under the shade of the massive trees all around them, Priamus and his men only managed to catch a quick, unclear glimpse of the black bands upon black mechas before battle was joined.
"Attack!! Kill them all!!" Priamus roared. He was a good commander, and he knew they key to any successful defense was an aggressive offence within the confines of a defensive strategy.
His men, I mean, his boys responded enthusiastically and sent their mechas charging forward to meet Victor Long and his hundred mechas in a ferocious battle.
However right before they clashed, in a brilliant but highly risky move, Victor Long and his boys suddenly turned around and charged back out the way they came!
"Press the attack all the way until the tree line!" Priamus ordered.
