The Silent Abyss was the last unlit area on the entire warzone map.
From high above, the land looked as if it had been forcibly torn apart by some great power, leaving behind a massive scar over one hundred kilometers long and nearly five kilometers wide.
Within the scar, a thick, grayish-white fog lingered year-round.
A year ago, Allen had dispatched a reconnaissance squad composed of twelve Spider Killer Type II Golems into the abyss.
But mere seconds after the squad crossed the border of the mist, their data links collectively severed.
No combat alerts, no distress signals, not even feedback from a unit self-destructing was transmitted back.
They vanished without a sound, without a trace.
At the time, Allen had chosen to set the matter aside.
Feeding troops into a meat grinder was a cardinal sin of warfare.
But things were different now. He was not currently at war and no longer needed to test the abyss's appetite with just a few Golems.
