"So impressive! We have to work harder. We, the Crusaders, are one of our boss' personal guards and have the most advanced and best equipment. If our performance disappoints the boss, he may not give us better equipment anymore."

The two Corsair Gundams X1 and X2 cooperate with each other, X1 is responsible for close combat killing enemies, and X2 is responsible for long-range attacks and covering X1's advance.

Major General Encore looked at the three-dimensional map. Although the radar was not paralyzed, it was greatly affected by the Minov particles, and its operation became much slower.

Although the communication facilities were not paralyzed, they were greatly affected. The communication frequency had to be adjusted from time to time, otherwise the communication would be in a state of blindness.

In order to communicate with each other, the machines must be connected to each other's machines using communication wires.

Although Dion's 4th Army originally had 250 warships of various types, it was ambushed by the 3rd Army of the Expeditionary Force at the beginning, and attacked by electromagnetic accelerator cannons and mobile drill missile groups.

Dion's 4th Army directly lost 40 warships, of which 12 Sky Rocket Battleships and 12 Whirlpool Frigates were destroyed.

Then, the rear was attacked by the Cross Vanguard Army's mobile drill missiles and Minov particle missiles (the scale of the missile group was not as large as the one that attacked the Third Army).

Dion's 4th Army suffered even greater losses, with more than 80 warships of various types destroyed. The main reason for such severe destruction was that most of the Ms and mobile fortresses were sent to the front line, which gave the Crusaders an opportunity to achieve such a victory.

An F90I used a flying shield to charge at the enemy troops, and used the shooting spear in its right hand to pierce an enemy Emerald Holy Machine, and then fired a beam from the cannon on top of the gun to destroy it.

When other holy machines attacked F90I, F90I used its flying shield to escape.

Then, several F90S carried out long-range attacks, helping their fellow F90Is escape the enemy's attacks and also shot down several enemy planes themselves.

Major General Encore learned from his subordinates with great difficulty that more than 500 Gundams were attacking them from the rear.

Under normal circumstances, Major General Encore would not have taken any notice of the 500 Gundams, but at this moment the entire force was being interfered with by Minov particles, and guided weapons could not be used.

Most of the Ms and mobile fortresses were sent to the front line and could not be recalled.

"General, the troops that attacked our rear are the Cross Vanguard of the Sky Wing Mercenary Group." The subordinates passed on the intelligence they had.

Major General Ankolei frowned. He had heard that the Cross Vanguard was one of the personal guards of Long Fei, the leader of the Skyyi Mercenary Group. It was a force composed of the elite members of the Skyyi Mercenary Group.

Moreover, Major General Encore had read the intelligence and learned that the style of this elite force was basically the same as that of space pirates.

At this moment, because of the Minov particles, he was unable to get any real progress.

"General, four different types of Gundams were found at the scene. They are the four signature Gundams of the Crossbow Vanguard who have the intelligence."

Major General Encore is now hearing bad news one after another.

…

At this time, the Dion Expeditionary 4th Fleet fired a signal flare, and the bright red light illuminated the entire surroundings.

The troops fighting on the front lines returned to the fleet.

The Tianyi 3rd Army continued to pursue the enemy.

The Muramasa Wild Sword of X3 Crossbow Gundam just cut a Typhon Mobile Fortress in half with one strike, and a brilliant red light lit up above it.

"Rebecca, it looks like the target is about to retreat. We don't need to put in too much effort. Just take as much as we can." Zhou Ya instructed Rebecca.

"Understood, Captain."

The Dion Expeditionary 4th Fleet retreated to the rear and returned to the area of ​​Colony No. 3.

Colonel Marissa knew clearly that her own Cross Vanguard troops could not stop this huge fleet, so she moved to the side and continued the attack.

The Tianyi 3rd Army Fleet temporarily continued the pursuit until the target completely entered the area of ​​Colony No. 3 and the target activated optical camouflage, then officially stopped the pursuit.

The purpose of this two-pronged attack by Tianyi against the 3rd Army and the Cross Vanguard Army is not to destroy the target.

Instead, the goal was to drive it back to Colony Area No. 3, and have Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force dispersed between the troops in Colony Areas No. 2 and 3 to separate them.

The Dion Brigade-level fleets that attacked the Kingdom of Markena earlier were also pursued by the Tianyi Mercenary Group when they retreated in defeat.

The Tianyi Mercenary Corps troops in charge of the pursuit also did not kill them all, they would capture as many as they could, and would stop the pursuit once the target escaped into the No. 3 Colony Area.

Then, detectors will be placed in the two colonial areas to prevent the Dion 3rd Expeditionary Force on both sides from supporting each other.

This is a separation tactic used by the Tianyi Mercenary Group. They contacted the colonial countries and the United Army in the two districts to conduct searches, and to guard against the Mars Circle dispatching reinforcements into the colonial area.

The Tianyi Mercenary Group first prepared to wipe out the Dion Army, whose whereabouts they knew, in the No. 2 Colony area.

Apart from announcing to the media the occupation of the Heimla asteroid, the Tianyi Mercenary Group did not make any announcements to the media about its subsequent actions. Even the official website did not provide any explanation or updates.

Even when the Tianyi Mercenary Group asked the United Army to cooperate in the operation, they also requested that no media reporters be allowed to follow.

The main reason is that the Tianyi Mercenary Group does not want to alert the enemy.

Now, the Tianyi Mercenary Group has separated Dion's 3rd Expeditionary Force into two colonial area troops.

The Diong Army in Colony No. 3 was clearly aware that they were separated by the Tianyi Mercenary Group, but the Diong Army in Colony No. 2 had no idea that they were separated.

The former Dion Army discovered that their secret communication network had been hacked by the hacker team of the Skywing Mercenary Group, and they were unable to tell the Dion Army in Colony No. 2 about this for a while.

Even if the information is passed on, it will be intercepted by the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

However, the Tianyi Mercenary Group also knew clearly that although their hacker team had temporarily invaded the Dion Army's secret communication network, the Dion Army would be able to remedy the situation quickly and restore the normal secret communication network.

By then, the Dion Expeditionary Force in Colony No. 2 will clearly know that they are separated.

Therefore, the Tianyi Mercenary Group must seize the opportunity at this moment and wipe out the Dion Expeditionary Force in the No. 2 Colony Area in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, once these expeditionary forces escape into the Colony Area No. 3, it would be much more difficult to eliminate them.
