The federal armored forces rolled back. Due to the shortage of heavy-duty vehicles, several heavy-duty mechas simply parked on flatbed vehicles and were dragged forward by combat vehicles.
Both Joseph and William were sitting in a special command vehicle and were not in their own mechas. Except for the combat stage, most of the mechas were in transport mode.
Joseph held a glass of red wine, swaying it gently, and said, "Is it really okay to keep those prisoners?"
"Otherwise, what should we do, bring them back? We don't have that much free space to build prisons, and we can't waste precious high-end transportation capacity to send them away from here. That would be meaningless. The result of their return to the Federation would be to be sent to a military court. Then
It’s better to sentence them to death right here and save transportation capacity.”
Joseph said: "Of course I know this. They are all veterans who have experienced several fierce battles. If they had not landed in this damn place, they should have been sent back long ago. In any case, we should not treat them like this.
them."
"So I asked them to stay as if nothing had happened and we had never seen them."
"But don't forget, all our soldiers have seen it."
"Them? How many of these people do you think will survive in another month?"
Joseph's eyes darkened, he took a sip of wine and said, "This is really a hell of a place. Why did we take on this mission in the first place!"
William said calmly: "If it hadn't been for us, it might have been worse if it had been someone else. At least we have established a foothold here."
Joseph snorted and said, "Have you established your footing? I'm afraid not necessarily."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chariot shook violently and almost overturned. Joseph and William were caught off guard and were thrown against the wall of the chariot. The light inside the chariot dimmed and a piercing siren sounded.
William immediately opened the virtual screen, and from multiple screens he could see groups of strange beasts in all directions, with thorns flying down from the air!
"Another wave of beasts!" Joseph had already opened the car door and rushed out.
The troops were suddenly attacked, but they did not panic. The front and rear tanks quickly moved closer to the center, forming a circular position to cover the mechas in the center and enter combat mode.
The herd of beasts attacked like a tide, and several chariots on the periphery were quickly submerged and destroyed.
However, the combat skills of the Lancers are well-known among the stars. They all fought to the death, pouring out firepower while maintaining a strict formation. Under the restraint of the outside, in the blink of an eye, the heavy mechas on the inner layer quickly entered combat mode and immediately began to sweep away.
The surrounding herd.
After a few minutes, the fierce battle ended.
The beast tide was almost completely wiped out, with only a few retreating. The tank troops lost nearly 15%, and two heavy mechas were also damaged.
Looking at the messy battlefield, William looked very ugly and remained silent for a long time. Joseph's voice sounded in the communication channel: "Let's go, there's still half the journey. Our current troops will not be able to bear the burden of encountering another animal tide.
"
William remained silent and parked the mecha on the carrier truck without getting off the mecha, and just followed the troops back to the Shadow Fortress.
Horizon 2 base has returned to normal order, and all federal soldiers are busy cleaning up the battlefield debris and rebuilding the base.
Colonel Roland and others were first arrested and then released. During this period, they received a lot of information from their former colleagues.
The beast tide in the area around the Shadow Fortress has subsided, and it has become a few days before a large-scale attack. Therefore, after Rose's defeat, Joseph and William decided to attack with all their strength, preparing to wipe out Lin Xi and Chu Jungui in one fell swoop. In their eyes, special operations
The agents here are much more dangerous than the beast tide.
Along the way, the federal troops experienced several herd attacks, but with the two firepower fulcrums of Joseph and William, they defeated the herds with very small losses each time. As a result, the losses in the final battle were several times those along the way. The maximum
The biggest loss came from Chu Jungui, followed by Lin Xi. As for Roland and other federal soldiers, they were basically not at the firing point and were unarmed, so they had to be captured without mercy.
In fact, Lin Xi knew their psychology very well. Facing the overwhelmingly superior federal troops, these original federal soldiers naturally couldn't resist. However, Lin Xi did not intend to tell the truth because everyone would be in desperate situation.
But after catching and releasing, these original Lancers all understood what would happen to them after they returned. Otherwise, William would not have deliberately forgotten them. Without a way out, they could only rely on Lin Xi and Chu if they wanted to survive.
The king has returned, so everyone works hard and no one hides or cheats. All work is for survival.
Although William and Joseph said they would give them a week, Lin Xi and Chu Jungui did not dare to be careless. This unexpected raid had actually completely defeated them. If Joseph had not been overconfident, he would have found Chu Jungui himself.
In a duel, William had to release the two men according to the code of honor. They had long since become prisoners or corpses.
At this point, the test subject and Lin Xi truly understood for the first time the power of a famous federal general.
The base reconstruction work went very smoothly. Although the newly built offensive mobile base was destroyed, the metal materials could be recycled, and there were still more than 20 tank wreckage on the battlefield that could be used.
In addition, Joseph and William also left three simple rooms used as temporary prisons. These three simple rooms where you can breathe freely have become one of the few luxury facilities in the Horizon 2 base.
Allocations form naturally.
The room where Lin Xi was imprisoned had the best conditions, so it naturally became the place where she and Chu Jungui rested. Colonel Roland, Duke and several other officers lived in the second room, and the remaining dozen soldiers crowded into the third room.
between.
Being able to take off the helmet is a very comfortable thing for ordinary people. Seeing the relaxation and comfort of each soldier coming out of the room, Chu Jungui was surprised and began to re-examine the importance of comfort and rest for ordinary humans.
needs.
In the past concept of test subjects, survival was the most important thing. As long as they could survive, it didn't matter whether they had entertainment and rest.
Deep space warriors capable of independently exploring deep space under the most extreme conditions, no need for entertainment.
During the reconstruction of the base, directional choices were once again placed before Lin Xi and Chu Jungui. The first week was safe, but after a week they may face attacks from the federation at any time. On the other hand, the threat of the beast tide once again
Put it on the table.
Lin Xi's idea is to build multiple mobile bases that can move positions at any time. On the one hand, it will make it difficult for the beast tide to merge, and on the other hand, it will make it impossible for the federation to find its whereabouts. This idea has also won the support of Roland and all the officers.
support.
But Chu Jungui was thinking in another direction: firepower.
