52nd Dimension:Kardinal's wake.

The Exalted Knights held their ground, losing a few units in close combat situations, one incident being "the target was too damn close when the Surge Launcher Charge was fired".

Enemy forces were starting to press on,despite heavy casualties. about 8 APCs charged towards the town at full speed,the front of them having dangerous looking spikes.
===
A larger trooper swung his laser bayonette at Sigma while a tank fired 2 railgun rounds from the other side.

The artillery units were reloading,carrying the ammo into the firing chamber.

Sigma jumped upward, skewering downward at the trooper.

The Exalted Knights focused their fire toward the APCs.

2 of the APCs were driven off-course,one crashed towards a pile of crates while the other fell into a ditch.
===
The trooper jumped back,detonating an EMP grenade onto himself...he was that mad.

Sigma was able to withstand the EMP... he needed a moment to recover, however.

Synthia covered him, firing at the troops around him.

The troopers around Sigma were either forced into cover or killed. The tank however...fired a deadly railgun shot towards Sigma.
===
The artillery continued to reload,aiming their guns to respective locations.

A few Anti-air guns were deployed around the place. One of them aimed towards the village and spammed the place with unhealthy flak.

Brego took cover behind the wall, almost getting his arm ripped to shreds by the flak.

Sigma managed to recover and evade before the railgun succeeded in blowing a hole in his armor.

The flak gun over-heated and stopped firing. Troopers came out of the assault APCs.

The Exalted Knights focused their fire toward the more concentrated groups.

Brego started to charge up Valor, whilst covering himself with Honor.

(Probably not bothered, but Valor's like a more powerful Desert Eagle. Honor's pretty much a rapid fire weapon.)

The civilian evacuation was almost complete,about 77% of the population has fled.
===
The artillery cannons fired once more followed by the flak cannons.

Again, Brego took cover. Valor was only 1/3 charged, so he was going to have to be patient.

The flak cannon overheated.Several planes started flying above,they were friendlies. Bombers started their run while fighters started strafing. Some were hopeless against the Anti-air ambush.

"I did not ask for any air support..." Messilita recalled. She fired a few rounds blindly and started retreating,the enemy was advancing.

3 Tanks focused their aim on Sigma unsuspectingly,a total of 6 railgun slugs and 30 MG bullets were fired at him within a second.
===
There were terrible conflicts all over the southern part of Mobius. Most of them were lost battles while some were victories. A few ended in stalemate.

As much as he tried to evade, he was still hit with about a quarter of what was fired at him... he was knocked back, damaged.
