The gathered individuals maintained a subdued demeanor.
Everyone who witnessed the duel between the Apocalypse Wardens and the archeshell mech could not help but feel sorry for the former.
They fought so hard to prove their strength, only to fail to achieve the objective they cared about the most.
The dream of gaining enough strength to defeat mechs as infantry still remained unrealized.
Even if the fight between the two sides was highly asymmetrical, the Apocalypse Wardens did not attempt to rationalize away their failure by resorting to excuses.
To these elite and proud cultivator soldiers, a failure was a failure.
The armored and suited forms of Ves and Gloriana slowly approached the surviving soldiers as they looked down at the forms of the deceased.
