Reading that, Baku narrowed his eyes and instantly understood what was happening.
"A saturated bombardment... They're using it as a smokescreen to cover their escape," Baku muttered with a grunt of displeasure.
"Think you can escape just like that? Not a chance! Not while I'm here!"
SWOOSH!!
With that, Baku pushed the control levers of his mech forward, engaging its thrusters.
"Direct all shield power to the front!" he ordered the mech's intelligent system.
As he dodged the incoming attacks, he either deflected the ones he couldn't avoid with his spear or took them down using his back-mounted cannon system.
BANG! BANG!
"Lieutenant!"
Suddenly, a voice came through the communication channel, ringing directly inside Baku's cockpit. It belonged to none other than Second Lieutenant Anu.
