"Oh, about that—"
Brandon cut himself short.
The sound of another engine came from the northern approach.
It was different from the Guardians and Vanguards already moving around the transport yard. Heavier and slower, with such weight behind it that several MDC soldiers nearby stopped what they were doing and looked toward the entrance.
Federick turned as well.
Another Golden Eagle army formation appeared along the road.
Guardian APCs moved ahead and along the sides while several Vanguards followed farther back. Infantry occupied the spaces between them, keeping the road open around something much larger moving through the middle of the formation.
Federick could not tell what it was at first glance.
The vehicle was too large to be another Guardian and shaped nothing like the Vanguards he had already seen. Its broad chassis carried folded mechanical sections along both sides, while several pieces of equipment were locked against the upper hull.
