ตอน 5486: The Hunt Begins

Though Captain Gheri and her best mech pilots all completed a lot of challenging hunts, they had no experience with fighting this particular opponent.

"It is highly unlikely that our approach has gone unnoticed." Ves told the hunters. "The Giant Stone Eater not only has a powerful command over earth-attributed E energy, but has also utilized its power to claim this entire crater as its territory. While I cannot tell you what that entails, I am 80 percent sure the beast knows we have arrived."

"I see." Captain Gheri responded over the communication channel. "It is of little consequence. I never counted on taking the Giant Stone Eater by surprise. The mutated beast's shell is too damn hard for us to penetrate in any opening strike. We will have to wear down its defenses step by step."

As the captain proceeded to instruct her troops to conduct their last checks, Ves extended his senses in order to gather more information about their prey.
