The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5008

5008. Dawning Realization

The 77th Warborn Mech Division of the Federal Military of Davute had only been founded a short time ago, but its development speed was among the fastest.

The large number of mechs and mech pilots supplied by the Larkinson Clan and the Cross Clan provided the mech division with a strong core to build around.

The presence of heroes such as General Ark Larkinson and Patriarch Reginald Cross not only raised the morale of this new elite mech unit to the peak, but also raised its priority within the military hierarchy to the top within the External Group!

In addition, the Warborn’s strong association with Ves Larkinson meant that nobody in the colonial state's administration dared to oppose its momentum without valid causes!

All of this meant that Davute had given General Ark the best possible stage for him to demonstrate his leadership capabilities and shape the Warborn into a spear that could pierce through Karlach's strongest defenses!

Not a day went by where the servicemen hailing from the Warborn did not train or prepare for Davute's coming war with Karlach.

Yet ever since the dramatic events of yesterday, none of the Warborn spent any thought on Karlach anymore.

A new dawn had arisen over the Red Ocean, and its overpowering light and energies changed everything!

The Colonial Federation of Davute had mobilized almost all of the military assets that it could summon in a short amount of time.

Few soldiers of the new mech division could have imagined that they would have sortie in the defense of Kotor City and its surroundings yet again!

The mech division's temporary headquarters located in the outskirts of the capital had become a hive of activity.

Hundreds of mechs poured in and out at regular intervals. Powerful assault-oriented mechs that were designed and configured for shock tactics were forced into roles that they were never really designed to perform, such as standing guard and rescue operations.

Though the Warborn may have a lot of complaints about their current deployments, none of them complained about their necessity.

The colonial state needed to be stabilized as much as possible.

Normally, it was not permissible for outsiders to casually enter a military base in a time of emergency.

The Larkinson Clan was special, though. Not a single force stationed on Davute VII attempted to stop or intercept any shuttle that bore the distinctive golden cat head emblem.

Besides, this particular shuttle happened to be escorted by two entire mech companies as well as the Everchanger!

The expert hero mech actually played a substantial role in suppressing the worst of the riots yesterday.

When the living mech switched its design spirit to Lufa and amplified the range of its glow to the point where it could stretch across half of an entire city district, entire crowds became pacified at once!

Davute actually owed the Larkinson Clan a substantial amount of gratitude for putting the Everchanger on pacification duty.

The emergency services in Kotor City and the surrounding major population centers on the planet did not get overwhelmed, thereby contributing substantially to the relative calm on the second day.

Even though the worst had passed, the authorities did not lower their guard. The Warborn still had to keep sending mechs on patrol.

Relying on the tranquility glow to keep the people calm was not an acceptable long-term solution. It did not resolve the root causes of the unrest. It was unethical to forcibly mind control so many people outside of an immediate crisis situation.

In any case, Ves felt reassured to have the Everchanger by his side. He would have wanted to add the Bastion to his escort lineup as well, but as a freshly built unit that had yet to undergo any proper testing, it was not a good idea to deploy the powerful new living mech in public.

As his shuttle reached its destination, Ves exited the vehicle and entered a hangar bay that was reserved for high-ranking mechs.

Both the C-Man and the Mars had been stashed inside at the moment.

The main reason why they had been held back at this time was because two different mech designers were slobbering all over their work at this time!

Both Gloriana and Master Benedict seemed to have gone crazy at this time.

Considering the findings that Ves made on his own work, this should not be too much of a surprise.

Every mech designer cared about the effectiveness of his own work!

They dedicated their entire lives to designing stronger and more effective mechs. The progression of their design philosophies literally depended on how much of a difference they could make to the mech industry.

Now that Ves thought about it, his own reaction was a bit too subdued. Perhaps this was because he realized that the best was yet to come. "Gloriana." He greeted as he floated in the air and stopped next to his wife.

Bravo's glow had grown stronger and even more masculine than Ves last remembered.

"Ves." She greeted as she continued to lock her gaze on the scanning data on a sample of TESMAS incorporated in the C-Man. "Take a look."

Ves briefly glanced at the readings. It had been a while since he last worked on the C-Man, but he knew enough about the design and its high-quality smart metal that they were not supposed to work this well!

"This data only reflects a part of the story." Gloriana explained as Alexandria emerged from his head and started to examine the C-Man through her own senses. "Take a look at how much energy this mech frame is absorbing at the moment."
