บท 118: Cannon fodder

The civilians inside Lazarus remained clueless about what was happening on the outside. Mira and Cairo met up with the other Scrappers and Scouts and they devised a plan to distract the enemy if things got out of hand.

Outside the fallout shelter, the guards held positions like statues carved out of stone. The XL11 robots slowly climbed over the dunes and marched towards their target. A sea of steel swallowed the arid zone as more robots joined the already massive battalion. Fortunately, there were no Reavers among them. 

The entire ground division was comprised of stock XL11 models as well as two different XL11 variants: the A1 variants were fitted with assault rifles in both hands, while the B2 variants were equipped with two grenade launchers. Both these variants were heavily armored and much larger than the stock XL11 robots marching behind them.
