What Cocolia did not know was that as her mechas withdrew, they kept crushing the thin ice on the ground, which then continuously reformed.
Through this cycle of reforming and shattering, shattering and reforming, Xina had seen through every position from which the mechas retreated.
"They're all leaving already? How pathetic! I thought they'd at least have to kill a few of me before they ran!"
After the Anti-Entropy Mechas retreated, Xina returned to her original appearance. She raised a hand and melted the ice blocks that had been jamming the rotating views of the nearby surveillance cameras, then swaggered off toward the bookstore.
In her opinion, Herrschers still needed to read more whenever they had the time and improve themselves!
An uncultured Herrscher could only summon wind, fire lightning, and throw fireballs before ending up on the path to getting blown to pieces.
Meanwhile, Cocolia, who had been scared off by "Durandal," stood on the bridge with a dark expression. Looking at the Titan Mechs below, which were like migratory birds returning to their nests, she finally felt a trace of comfort.
Although the plan had fallen through, looking on the bright side, she had not suffered any losses this time and had even learned that Durandal had appeared in North America.
That could barely count as a gain...
On the other side, after circling at low altitude several times, Kiana's group of three finally landed.
As she walked down the jet bridge, Kiana grinned and took out her phone, sending Xina a message that roughly read: Xina! Mei and I came to see you! We've already gotten off the plane, so send me the address. We'll be there soon! Are you surprised? Was that unexpected?
Bang!
"Ow! Who was that?!"
"Ah!?"
