"Charge!" Lord Khan of the Thunder Roar Clan ordered. His voice was also loud enough for everyone, including the defenders, to hear.
He believed the barrier was about to collapse and that the Eclipse Domain would finally fall.
The Crimson Shield vehicles moved forward while firing at the gates. At the sa ti, their Barrier Generators were also absorbing all the attacks coming from the defenders on the ramparts.
Soon, the River Flow warriors tightened their formation, blades ready to pour through the gates once they shattered.
But Eclipse Domain was not Springriver Manor. It was Shane’s most fortified shelter, and its defenders had prepared for this mont!
The gates of Eclipse Domain opened instead...
From within, a legion of troops marched out in perfect formation.
First ca the Warden Units, fifty chanical bodies each equipped with high-grade defensive armor and upgraded rifles that mostly ca from the Marketplace.
Of course, these fifty units weren’t ant to annihilate the enemies. They were rely there to suppress the advancent of the enemies.
When their ammunition ran dry, they also carried Master‑Grade Silver Swords, ready to switch seamlessly into lee combat. They were a perfect vanguard!
Boom!
The ground shook as they advanced. Their synchronized steps had then alard the enemies...
Still, it didn’t end there. Behind them ca another force.
They were not Super Soldiers, but they were survivors, about Level 30 to 40 fighters who had joined Eclipse Domain!
On their own, they might have seed weak with their current level. But each one wore a newly mass-produced exosuit!
To be exact, they are using the Tactical Sentinel Combat Exosuit I. They were the upgraded version of the Steam-Powered Exoskeleton that Shane had previously improved using the Otherworldly chanic Talent.
He could still recall how he spent so many Reputation Points to process this. Thankfully, after almost a year, he was able to start mass-producing them.

The sight of eighty Tactical Sentinel Combat Exosuits marching behind the Warden Units was overwhelming.
Together, they ford a wall of steel that seed so impenetrable. Despite being low in number compared to the side of the enemies, they still looked completely immovable!
Then, with the support coming from the Turrets and the artillery division of the Eclipse Domain, they were extrely confident facing the enemies.
The defenders of Eclipse Domain had revealed their strongest defense.
On the other side of the battlefield, the leaders of the Overlord Alliance froze.
Khan’s grin faltered. "What... what is this?"
Commander Cross of the Crimson Shield Clan didn’t know what he was seeing as well. However, his mystical glass allowed him to appraise it for a bit and give him a little information about it at the very least.
"What? Exosuits. But these aren’t the steam-powered relics we’ve seen before. These looked more advanced."
Master Ren of the River Flow Clan remained silent and nodded. He had also seen the blueprint of the steam-powered exosuits in the marketplace. He also saw the prototypes that couldn’t be used in so abandoned military facilities that he had raided before.
However, the ones in front of them looked so new. They were also more advanced and seemingly mass-produced, showing that the Eclipse Revenant Clan had an incredible chanical expert in their midst. It wouldn’t be surprising if that person were a Legendary Talent Holder that was hidden by their clan for a long ti!
If that were the case, the appearance of the ch Fras and the Warden Units would make complete sense.
’So they’re not just machines they found in an abandoned military facility.
"This wasn’t in the report. Lancelot said nothing of this."
The clans muttered among themselves, their confidence shaken. According to their report, they were expecting at least a hundred Warden Units and at least five ch Fra units on this shelter.
"They mass‑produced them, huh..." one Thunder Roar officer whispered. "This is a problem... But I hope that’s all."
Another Crimson Shield warrior also felt troubled seeing those heavily armored units in front of them.
"Fighting them in close range might be dangerous."
Lord Khan frowned as he prepared to face the Warden Units, Super Soldiers, and other Survivors. However, those Exosuits looked so intimidating. There was no way he’d be able to win this unless they deploy their units that were ant to fight against the ch Fras.
However, using that too early was not a good idea...
"Lancelot lied to us. Or he didn’t know. Either way, we’ve walked into a trap."
Commander Cross slamd his shield into the ground. "Let’s continue! We just need to put a dent on Shane’s shelter, and our mission’s done."
Master Ren agreed...
"These exosuits were upgraded to at least Epic-Grade... The River Flow Clan’s blades may cut through flesh, but against alloy fras and those barriers, you can’t rely on us."
The leaders exchanged grim looks.
On the battlefield, the Warden Units continued on their assault.
Rat‑tat‑tat!
They suppressed the advancing Crimson Shield vehicles.
The Barrier Generators protected the enemy side but it wouldn’t be long before they’d be forced to fight in close combat...
Furthermore, the Tactical Sentinel Exosuit Units followed with their rifles ready...
Each shot was coordinated... Apparently, their Squad Link Protocol ensured that volleys struck the sa targets simultaneously!
Because of this coordination, the vehicles shuddered under the impact and slowly, they were able to destroy one of the armored vehicles with the mobile Barrier Generator!
Boom!
Now, the Survivors being protected had no choice but to charge forward using various Survivor Skills and Talents to get closer to the Warden Units...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As the bullets failed to penetrate the defenses of the Survivors, the Wardens and the Combat Exosuit Brigade used their lee weapons!
