After all four main trunks burst at once, the remaining stages of the Battle of Kashgar rapidly lost their most complicated aspect.
The Shen Hu Mech smashed straight through the G-Elements regulation structure between the Brain-class and the Reactor. Radiation fluctuation shredded the last batch of cross-phase data in transit. First, the core lost stability; then the translucent production sacs around it collapsed en masse. The backup infusion lines had barely taken over for ten seconds before the Reactor's backflow burned them out. Three mineralized support bands snapped in the sequence preset by the engineering team, and more than a thousand meters of structure above the Main Shaft began collapsing inward.
Lin Cuo really no longer needed to worry about the details that followed.
With the Brain-class destroyed, the BETA lost their unified resource allocation and threat prioritization, but continued carrying out their last local orders. Those on the western side kept attacking Britannia's high-electromagnetic targets, the Assault-class to the northeast still tried to suppress the railway and artillery positions, and the remaining Tank-class around the core repeatedly returned to Infusion Nodes that no longer existed.
Individually, the BETA were still dangerous. Across the theater as a whole, their tactics had fallen apart.
A mass of units once directed by the same industrial hub suddenly became hundreds of local obstacle-clearing teams that exchanged no new information. Several Assault-class groups kept charging forward, while another batch turned back because their last orders had been to recover resources; Tank-class crowded into collapsed entrances in great numbers, only to be trapped by others of their kind behind them; Laser-Class still fired at high-altitude and high-energy targets, but could no longer receive updated cooling instructions, firing-sector adjustments, or target priorities.
At last, the moment had come for the Indians to do what they did
