Not long after Han Xu left the base, a strange howl rang out over the Surface Base of the Yellow Springs Organization, located not far from Flower City.
Then shells came screaming through the air. Their sheer density made the entire sky seem to be covered by a swarm of locusts, blocking out the moonlight.
The base's defensive turrets immediately went into action. The computer-controlled unmanned turrets fired lash after lash of flame, sweeping at the shells descending from the sky.
Many shells were detonated in midair, bursting into countless fireballs.
Yet plenty still fell into the base, triggering one explosion after another.
The shells continued to rain down in a torrent. Their impact points had clearly been precisely calculated, and they repeatedly struck important facilities within the base.
In moments, the base's communications station, power station, parking lot, warehouses, Mecha Docking Bay, and other key facilities were attacked one after another, suffering varying degrees of damage.
In the blink of an eye, flames raged throughout the base. Corpses were scattered everywhere, most of them still burning.
All kinds of vehicles had been blasted into disarray, lying haphazardly across the ground. Engineering vehicles, armored vehicles, transport vehicles, and more burned in the flames, occasionally erupting in secondary explosions.
By then, the base's mechas had already charged toward the source of the shells. More mechas rushed out of the docking bay and headed for the Battlefield.
At that moment, beneath the continuing barrage of shells in the night, one mecha after another appeared.
Two mechas were at the very front.
One was pitch-black, with flowing-water patterns across its body.
The other was ocher-yellow and wore prayer beads, resembling a monk.
The former was Weakwater, Yu Qiushui's mecha.
The latter was named Vajra, Monk Zhixin's mount.
Both mechas were Divine General Mechas.
