Sovereign of the Ashes

While Sein took two direct hits from long-range focused energy strikes, the robot legion led by Gilded Beast nearby was not faring much better.

Gilded Beast appeared to be a Rank Five robot that clearly placed immense value on its subordinates and on unity.

The reason its forces could keep up such a rapid charge was not because of its overwhelming strength alone, but because of the discipline and effectiveness of its battle formation.

Though the sudden barrage had struck Gilded Beast, the surrounding robots absorbed part of the impact, lessening the damage to their leader.

Still, that sudden attack caused them to falter.

At a time like this, the most practical move for Gilded Beast would have been to abandon its heavily damaged units and press on at full speed.

Yet to Sein’s surprise, he caught sight of something different out of the corner of his eye. Gilded Beast deliberately slowed down, ensuring that more of its forces could escape.

For Sein, his responsibility went no further than his own survival.

But for Gilded Beast, every intelligent robot under its command was its responsibility.

Behind their curved formation, more robot legions pressed forward, using their momentum to drive the charge onward.

To Sein and the other high-tier robots, Titanfang was the main force smashing through the federation’s encirclement.

But for the lower-tier robots scattered across this battlefield, both he and Gilded Beast were their beacons.
