Ye Chong said, "Appilok, you're in charge." He then left the mechs with Celest. Appilok's personal combat skills did not yet qualify him as a member of the commando troop, but Ye Chong still brought him along. A commander needed actual combat experience as well. An experienced commander was more useful than a mech pilot, especially when they had a sizable mech squad.
Ye Chong did not have time to consider the details. He charged Celest straight into the pack of gold-striped black dragons.
Celest charged with determination, like a dagger driving itsef into the heart of the enemy.
The gold-striped black dragons were infuriated by the open challenge. A few dozen of them flapped their wings and shot up higher in the sky, then folded their wings and dived down towards Celest.
