Echo Spears

Ves cursed his luck. After numerous lucky breaks, Ves believed the chance of interception wasn't as big as he thought.

Throughout his entire journey through Ordent, none of his hunters or pursuers managed to get close enough to enter within effective combat range of his ship!

Yet as soon as his ship stepped into the Great Zona Republic, he immediately encountered a mercenary fleet at close proximity!

The good news was that the mercenary ships weren't in knife-fighting range. It took about forty minutes for the ships to fly within engagement range, upon which they would probably deploy their mechs.

The bad news was that the mercenaries had plenty of time to catch up with his fleeing ship!

While his mobile supply frigate possessed a clear edge in acceleration, the mercenary fleet just happened to be flying in relative motion in his direction!

Even without activating their thrusters, the light carriers were already drifting in his direction!
