Modem gives a small smile as the advancing forces close in on his own CCM troopers.
"Activate the CCM personal shielding devices"
The same device's he used against the Shadow forces in the past, and also used agains the Replicant forces long ago, these devices are dangerous to use because they cut the life span of drones down to a sliver of what they should be, several months at best, but they were expendable.
More important, the shielding they gave meant that even the most basic of drones could withstand immense damage and punishment before going down.
On the ground, all CCM troops halted momentarily, then each and every unit in the army began to give off an aura of green, the personal shielding was activated and they began their advance once more.
