Keves is a country where machine technology is developed. Its force consisted of units primarily composed of combat vehicles and small, maneuverable weapons operated by their riders. If their clothes are black and have a “mech” style, they’re Keves! # XenobladeChronicles3 pic.twitter.com/VD4yP393l7
