Chapter 17

The massive swarm kept rushing at the fleet. Spirals of Reaver drones formed like the tentacles of an angry ancient god.

"FIRE!“ ordered Isara.

Tens of thousands of suits had formed a half-sphere to meet the drones.

Aether, Essence, and High Mana merged into a wave of lethal magic and washed over the swarm.

The fleet roared as more than a third of the drones vanished under a single attack.

The remaining swarm broke into several spirals and reformed itself in an instant. The controllers of the drones were relentless as they ordered the red swarm to break through the attack of the defending forces.

The fleet had amassed more than five hundred thousand capital ships. But after the crippling attack of the One, most of the ships were floating without power in the void. The flank of the Children of Jon had the least amount of defenders. And despite the inaction of the ships and mobile defenders, the swarm struck.

Montgomery could see the impending doom, but despite the might of the Master Weavers and the new rune spears, the Red Swarm was resilient.

"Isara! Do you hear me?“

Yes, human.

"Move our forces in this position, now!“

His fingers moved over his display as he marked the location on his map.

That will take time.

"I know,“ growled the Knight of the Round.

He switched to another channel.

"Group Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, follow me! Sector Gamma six!“

He gathered his Aether, and six hundred suits blinked with him to defend the Children.

The suits of the Six were enhanced now, but the pilots were still not experienced with them, and it showed.

The Red Swarm kept advancing despite their combined attack. Three massive spirals still numbered in the hundreds of millions each. Two of the spirals were aiming at the Savroon and the Melen, but at least they had enough suits in working order to present a united front.

The Children of Jon on the other hand were still inoperable.

Montgomery and his men arrived too late.

The swarm was already there.

"FIRE!“ he yelled.

The suits appeared above the spiral as the swarm approached the Children. Six hundred beams of deadly magic rained down on the Red Swarm.

The spiral broke under the relentless assault of the six hundred mechs of the Alliance. Millions of drones vanished under the magical attack of the new Soul Blades and the older Spears.

It was not enough.

The blue mist covered the swarm and the attacks were diminished.

Seventy million drones survived the attack and washed over the Children of Jon, whose ships floated defenselessly in the void. Two hundred thousand mech pilots and fifty thousand capital ships and support vessels did not react as the force of the swarm wreaked havoc. The entire flank of the Children broke apart as the swarm ripped mercilessly through the ships.

And then five black shadows erupted out of the swarm.

"Raidleader!“ yelled one of the Vorrans, but it was too late.

A green bolt tore through the Lancelot, and Montgomery cursed as his pilot chamber was ejected.

Yuri screamed and rushed in to defend him. Immediately four of the Master Weavers rushed at her.
