Chapitre 547: Desperate Mob

The Vesians lost over forty mechs, which was more than enough to cause any commander to disengage their attack run. Not so for the commanding officer of the Frosty Meteors. Their mech doctrine emphasized an attitude of committing to an attack. No matter how many mechs they lost, they wouldn't break and scatter.

Why?

Because they were the Frosty Meteors. Billions of Vesian citizens looked up to them. They upheld their creed of getting hit but hitting back harder. In no way should any mech pilot of the Meteors falter before they reached their targets. Their myths said nothing about abortive attacks.

Still, the Flagrant Vandals made it harder for them to reach the stranded enemy vessels intact. Venerable O'Callahan picked off several mechs of the Frosty Meteors with disturbing regularity.

In front of the Parallax Star, no amount of armor could save a mech from doom. The famed heavy armor of the Frosty Meteors turned from asset into a liability.
