Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of muffled blasts rang out as more than a hundred cylindrical objects were launched skyward from the honeycomb-shaped launchers. However, they neither flew very high nor very fast.
That was only natural, because those launchers had originally been designed to fire smoke grenades or decoy flares depending on battlefield conditions.
No matter how enormous or powerful the Thor Mech was, it could not possibly be like some absurd video game design with gun barrels stuck all over its body, could it? Well, although it already did have gun barrels stuck all over its body.
But this time, what they fired was neither smoke grenades nor decoy flares.
The cylindrical objects were launched more than a hundred meters into the air, then exploded one after another with a series of sharp pops.
As they exploded, countless tiny burning points of light burst forth and shot straight down toward the ground!
White phosphorus bombs!
Those hundred-odd cylindrical objects were white phosphorus bombs!
Each cylinder burst into more than a hundred clusters of burning white phosphorus. With all of them exploding at once, it was as though a rain of fire had fallen around the Thor Mech!
No, it was a white phosphorus rain even more terrifying than fire rain!
Countless white phosphorus bombs fell from the sky, scattering directly over the Rebel Alliance warriors who had been trying to rush close enough to the Thor Mech to throw EMP grenades!
White phosphorus kept burning once it landed on the human body. Its thousand-degree heat instantly ignited human fat—while the victims were still alive!
The Rebel Alliance warriors touched by the white phosphorus let out horrifying, piercing screams. Yet no matter how they rolled or struggled, the phosphorus clinging to their bodies continued to burn violently.
