After the light faded from the lion-headed colossus's eyes, all the colossi continued moving. After all, Performer had only intended to blind the enemy.
After receiving word from Infiltrator 0-8 that the enemy could no longer monitor the battle here, Performer immediately deployed a new model.
The new model resembled a spider. Once the Mechanical Spider appeared, it closed its legs toward a colossus, instantly freezing it in place and leaving it unable even to fire its cannons.
Purger 0-6 then closed in and tore it to pieces.
The Mechanical Spider was also a Regulator: Regulator 0-4. It could capture and freeze a region of space, with its range determined by the energy expended.
Colossi with particularly heavy firepower were suppressed by Regulator 0-4 in this manner.
Purger 0-6 then finished them off directly. After all, the enemy's colossus force this time included highly maneuverable units resembling mecha.
To prevent the enemy from using any strange methods to detect traces after the battle, Regulator 0-4 immobilized them before Purger 0-6 made the kill.
After the lion-headed colossus was blinded, the Star Sea Alliance immediately sent a Surveillance Ship to the passage entrance in the B3397 Star Sector. They simply feared that the enemy might resort to underhanded tactics during this interval, such as increasing its fighting forces.
The Surveillance Ship stationed in Star Sea City could reach the passage entrance in the B3397 Star Sector within minutes through the Star Navigation Wormhole. A few minutes left no room for cheating. Even if the enemy managed it, that would only prove it had the strength to join the Star Sea Alliance.
As soon as the Surveillance Ship departed, the Legion received the news through Infiltrator 0-8. After ruthlessly slaughtering another wave of colossi, Performer immediately withdrew the Regulator 0-4 force.
