Book 6, Chapter 2 Attack of the Mechanical Beasts

“What the hell is going on?”

Dawn reached out her er by the front of his shi+rt

“A scouting party was out on aThey were different froot close Most of our men were killed or badly wounded

Dawn didn't have tih the ca attack

All of a sudden the clattering of metal sounded fro at them They came in all manner of shapes and sizes; some were like snakes lizards or other reptiles while others were as large as jaguars They caround No tere exactly the same but all were made entirely from metal Some were rusty or covered in moss, and a couple even sprouted small shrubs

Although they were entirelyreal living things The way they moved was just like the creatures they were modeled after To Cloudhawk, it reht in theOutpost

Only these were definitely not the sa ainst thelanced off their hides, which was corade alloy

The an their attack A pack of two-headed robot wolves led the charge

Running fast as lightning, the construction of their bodies – from the most complex joint to the smallest detail – was incredibly coordinated The science behind theirwas impeccable, like works of art

“Fast!”

Dawn recognized that these creatures were anic counterparts Their inner working were filled with servos and hydraulics and other strange systems The wolves, for instance, had sive it a boost of speed

The wolves kicked off the ground, jets of fla the robot into the air In a blink they were a dozen s of woven metal feathers stretched froht of the sun Beautiful and terrifying As they swept by overhead their four eyes cay fires onto the camp

Zgggt! Shhhhggt!

Lasers powerful enough to slice through iron plates were dragged through the area Several wastelanders were too slow and were sliced in half

Other robots were not idle while the wolves attacked One critter in the shape of a spider skittered to the top of a nearby dune still sos into the dirt and stone as an anchor while energy coalesced in front of it in the shape of an arm A few moy cannonball

It sored far overhead, traveling thousands ofinto the wastelanders with pin-point accuracy!

None of these robots were typical machines They all had powerful and deadly weapons, could fly or burrow and attacked in an endless streaain it proved how superior their construction was Their destructive capabilities were degrees of reater than typical mutant creatures

Cloudhawk raised his hand and a pale white light sprang to life It spread until it covered hiy that caainst the shi+eld

While Cloudhawk bought them time Dawn capitalized on it With both hands wrapped around Terrangelica's hilt she jabbed it toward the sky One of the robotic wolves above was caught in an invisible field of gravity As though caught off guard by soiant hand, it pluround A crater eave way The as s circuitry

Dawn's Dawnbreaker Arh she shouted at her soldiers “Chaaaarge!”

Her words were like thunder through the air, and hung there as her ar steel fortress leading the Wendigo King, Coal and the wasteland soldiers to battle A capable answer to the robotic threat was finally mustered
