He watched with growing amusement as the constructs let the zombies close, though the first one that actually died close enough, and with enough momentum, to actually rebound off one of them had him open the comm channel. "Number three, if you are quite done playing to the non-existent back row, please stop futzing about, and pop your armor. Good a test for it as any."<br/><br/>The indicated unit paused long enough to chunk a fragment grenade cluster out into the milling horde, idly complaining about the damn controlling influence clearly being off its rocker, before stepping back from the line. Its removal from the fire line allowed the enemy to surge forward, actually forcing the one that had been beside it to sheath its rifle, and use its energy pistol and energy blade. Number Three was taking the time it had stolen to concentrate, and then ejected its armor. Rather than falling to the ground like it normally would, it instead floated around it, and began separating into layers, each a few millimeter's thick, but it was still adamantine, and enchanted at that to be as unbreakable as he could make it. It then began rotating the armor pieces in a circle at various heights and ranges, effectively turning itself into the center and the armor into a massive wall of blades. The armor storm rotated as far as the edge of the square, and as high as the second stories of the surrounding buildings. It was a giant blender, and the zombies were MORE than happy to fling themselves into it to get at the noise source in the center.<br/><br/>The other seven constructs watched with interest for about a half minute, before pulling out the elemental casters and getting to work on cleaning up the mess, careful to stay in the area that was the eye of the armor storm. The elemental casters had impressive range, and the fire they spat did occasionally splash against the far walls, but the structures, despite being bathed in flames, weren't ignited by them. A good touch, Draiss thought, showed that they were being conscious of the possibility of further damage, and weren't finding collateral damage acceptable beyond what they actively caused.
