Capítulo 211: Blood & Flame, Pt 4

Mia’s heavily armed and armored frigate loomed over the hilly, smoldering settlement. Dark grey smoke billowed up from beneath. It flowed around the frigate itself and covered its armored undercarriage with thick black soot.

The settlement itself was blackened and charred, consumed by a once-vast fire. Its defenses had been utterly annihilated, its core pierced, and the hidden base shattered. And in the midst of it all - the burnt corpses of dead Hallowed and the ashen wreckages of drones littered the streets.

A dozen Stormrider mecha circled the settlement itself, as though they were on patrol. They were heavily armed and armored, but with highly tuned sensor arrays on their shoulder mounts. Some cruised through the streets while others skated around the perimeter.
