Chapter 64 C-Class Pioneer

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Jiang Lou and Ke Qian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ke Qian said: "The value of elite veteran mecha pilots is high, but that is relative."

"Just because you're useful doesn't mean you have to be paid a high salary!"

"Oh! This is really not good news!" Li Xin sighed.

"Okay, our income is already high. Think about the income of those infantry and armored soldiers. Isn't it much better?" Ke Qian said with a smile.

That makes sense when you think about it.

If Li Xin had not been lucky enough to become a mecha pilot, but had joined the army as an infantryman or armored soldier.

This month's income might not even be enough to pay off the loan for buying chips.

If that's the case, then that's really fucked up.

After fighting desperately on the battlefield for a month, he had not a penny left, not even enough to pay off the loan.

There is no point in living like this!

However, Li Xin still had a question. He asked, "Logically speaking, shouldn't the reinforcements be added before the battle begins?"

"How could they be replenished in the middle of the battle?"

After listening to this, Jiang Lou shook his head and said, "It's hard to say what the reason is."

"Blueprint doesn't have many regular soldiers. Most soldiers and mecha divisions will retire after a few years of service and become reserve forces."

"This isn't an important battlefield. We're only here to help Heng'an Defense."

"So it's quite difficult for us to send troops to reinforce them. We're in a situation where neither our parents care about us."

"Plus, the group's procedures are particularly cumbersome. They were able to send reinforcements before we finish this battle. You can be secretly happy."

"I thought the process would be faster during the war..." Li Xin thought about the process and work attitude of the administrative department when he wanted to change jobs before. It was really a headache.

"We are at war here, but the entire group is not at war. We are used to it. It's normal that you don't understand it very well when you first arrived." Feng Dai said with a smile.

"But when we started the war, even though we had fewer people, it was still enough to fight."

"The enemy won't leave too many mecha troops on the surface while they're on garrison."

"It's about the same on both sides. Infantry casualties are higher everywhere, but mecha casualties are mainly underground."

"According to the initial intelligence, the enemy had no more than twenty mechas at the Behemoth Steel Works."

"But the enemy must have a passageway on the periphery that can reach the Behemoth Steel Works directly. Intelligence also said they have reinforced their troops. It's hard to say how many Knight Squires are currently crammed in there."

"Anyway, this battle is probably going to be another meat-crushing fight!" Ke Qian sighed, shaking his head.

Almost ten days passed after we heard the news that reinforcements were coming.

Reinforcements finally arrived at the base.

This time, more than a dozen Pelican-class transport boats arrived, forming a black mass that directly filled the air above the entire outpost.

They couldn't even land at the same time, and could only land in turns, while the other Pelican-class transport boats were still hovering in the air.

From the landed Pelican-class transport craft, a group of Dagger Servants walked out.

These dagger servants look much newer. In comparison, the mechas of Li Xin and his team look a bit weathered.

The Dagger Servants walked out of the transport boat and lined up neatly in the outpost, with each combat team close to each other.

One, ten, twenty.

Gradually, more and more dagger servants came out.

Gradually, the veterans who were originally standing in a row suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ke Qian's voice rang out in the fifth group's chat room. "Old Jiang, this doesn't look right. What's going on with these numbers?"

"I don't know, this is indeed something wrong!" Jiang Lou said.

There are now more than seventy mecha troops, and the number is still increasing.

There was still a transport boat circling in the air without landing.

More and more mechas drove into the base. Later, Li Xin even saw taller mechas appear.

"What kind of mecha is this?" Li Xin asked.

In front of him, a mecha appeared that was one-third taller than the Dagger Servant.

This mecha did not walk out by itself, but was towed out by a tractor.

Both the ranged and melee weapons of this mecha appear to be much larger than those of the Dagger Squire.

When it comes to land combat mechas, in most cases, bigger is beautiful and more is better!

A larger size means more equipment, thicker and longer weapons, stronger firepower and longer endurance.

Jiang Lou's calm voice rang out: "This is a C-class mecha: Vanguard type!"

"C-class mecha!"

"So, they are M2-level commanders?" Li Xin asked.

"Yes, our squadron leaders are usually C-rank pioneers."

"I didn't expect that Wutai Pioneer would come this time." Jiang Lou's voice was full of shock.

There's no way, there are just too many this time.

There were already 170 to 180 D-class Dagger Servant mechas assembled in the base.

Even if forty mechas form a squadron, plus the veterans originally in the base, there are five squadrons of mecha troops gathered here.

However, seeing such a large number of these mechas, Li Xin and his friends did not feel happy.

If there are more troops supporting us, that is definitely a good thing, but if the number is too large, that does not mean it is a good thing.

"Something bad has happened... So many mechas have come this time, it's definitely not just for the Behemoth Steel Works!"

Ke Qian murmured.

"There are too many of them. There are at least five squadrons here, plus the vanguard of Wutai. Let alone taking over the Beshimo Steel Plant, it is enough to turn the place upside down!" Jiang Lou sighed.

"This is going to be a big battle!"

Listening to the voices of the two team leaders, Li Xin could sense a hint of fear in their tone.

Li Xin was thinking in his heart.

"Come to think of it, war is something only those in the rear enjoy. While it's easy to achieve military merit on the front lines, it's also more dangerous."

"Especially the soldiers. They're making me panic."

Originally, mechas had an absolute dominant position on this battlefield. Even if there was danger, it would be for the infantry and armored troops.

But something is wrong now. Now all the D-class mechas have become soldiers.

Now the position that Li Xin and his team originally occupied has fallen to those C-class mechas. They are the rulers on the battlefield, while Li Xin and his D-class mechas have now become ordinary soldiers.
