This caused Dion's entire army in Marco Polo Fortress to fall into even greater panic.

Many supreme soldiers of the Dion Empire would rather die in battle than surrender.

On the contrary, the lower-level soldiers (mainly from slavery) did not have the idea of ​​the supremacy of the Dion Empire. They just wanted to survive and were unwilling to obey the orders of fighting to the death issued by their superiors.

In order to make these lower-level soldiers submit, the superiors directly shot those lower-level soldiers who disobeyed orders.

Although it made some lower-level soldiers submit, it also caused more lower-level soldiers to resist.

Civil strife broke out in the Marco Polo Fortress and on the warships.

Thors piloted the Penelope Gundam and launched floating missiles to shoot down many enemy planes. Its 26-meter height attracted the attention of the surrounding pilots.

Both the enemy and our side felt that this Gundam was huge.

The Penelope Gundam was developed and manufactured last month, and Long Fei gave it to Thors to pilot.

Thors led the Fierce Hounds to suppress the rebellion around Marco Polo Fortress.

Although the Penelope Gundam looks huge, it has excellent maneuverability. It moves quickly and dodges countless attacks, even if a beam hits the Penelope Gundam.

Penelope Gundam's flight armor unit FF (Fixed Fighter) can also block beam attacks with a barrier formed by Minov particles.

At this time, some of the Dion Army's warships raised white flags to indicate their surrender. If Ms and the mobile fortress pilots saw their motherships raising white flags, they would stop fighting and lay down their weapons.

After about an hour, the Dion warships outside the fortress surrendered one after another.

When the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the Allied Forces invaded the Marco Polo Fortress, the suppression force discovered that many of Dion's troops were fighting against each other.

This made all the suppression forces feel very confused, especially the Tianyi Mercenary Group. They felt even more confused, as this was the first time they encountered such a situation in all the suppression wars they had fought.

Some Dion troops did not launch any attacks when they found the suppression troops. Instead, they simply surrendered and knelt on the ground with their hands on their heads.

Major General Isis looked at the scene filmed by the suppression troops and asked Salamander, "Lieutenant Colonel, what is going on? Do you see any clues?"

"I guess most of these surrendered soldiers are lower-class people or slaves, especially the slaves. The slaves are the least loyal to the Dion Empire. The reason why the rebels were able to fight for so many years was mainly because of the cooperation between these slaves."

"Then do you think there are any new humans or adjusters among these surrendered soldiers?"

"There should be some, but it's estimated to be very few. After all, the New Humans and Adjusters have extremely high status in the empire, which leads to a mentality of superiority in their hearts. If they always surrender to those they look down on, it will be a great humiliation for them, which is more painful than killing them. It's better to die in battle than to do that."

The attack and defense of Marco Polo Fortress ended in about 12 hours.

Then about two hours later, Isis received news that the nameless fortress had also been taken down.

The biggest threat to Colony No. 2 has been eliminated, and the remaining Dion troops in the area are no longer a threat.

After the two fortresses were captured, the confidential intelligence obtained allowed the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the United Army to grasp the location of the remaining Dion troops.

It will be up to the Allied Forces to eliminate the remaining rats.

Isis and her group stayed in Marco Polo Fortress for a few days to repair their injuries and then left. They also took away the Wall of Zeus device without paying attention to the protests of the Allied Forces.

The Dion Army's warships, Ms. and other Tianyi mercenaries did not take away many, and most of them were given to the United Army for research.

The Tianyi Mercenaries have fought with the Dion Army so many times. After the battle, the Tianyi Mercenaries will take away the debris when they clean up.

Part of the wreckage was handed over to the decomposition and reduction metal furnaces at each base for processing, and the other part was handed over to the decomposition and reduction subsidiary of Tianyi Group.

As for the prisoners, some were dealt with by the Tianyi Mercenary Group, and the other part was handed over to the United Army for arrangement.

In a Rebir warship, Salamander, Li Xiucheng and Isis were interrogating the prisoners.

The prisoners who were interrogated were not high-ranking officers, but rather low-level soldiers.

Salamander spoke some secret codes and gestures to the captive in front of him.

The prisoner's eyes lit up and he immediately responded to the next sentence and gesture of the code.

Salamander asked the captive, "What is your name?"

"My name is Brooks."

“Have there been any changes to the current structure of lower-level military personnel?”

"Children born to lower and middle classes join the army, and most of us slaves belong to the lower-class soldiers. The same thing is that as long as they have military merits, it is easier for them to be promoted."

Li Xiucheng asked: "What if the children of upper-class and special-class people join the army, and the children of nobles join the army, how will they be treated?"

Brooks replied, "Let me put it this way. No matter how well the slaves perform during training, they can only get the rank of private in the official military. The middle and lower class civilians are at least third class soldiers, and some with excellent performance can get the rank of corporal. Although the upper and special class civilians receive physical training similar to us, they also have special training. Generally speaking, when they graduate, they are at least corporals, and those with excellent performance directly become second lieutenants. The children of nobles are almost the same as the children of upper and special class civilians."

Isis asked, "Can soldiers born as slaves achieve success?"

"On paper, slaves who have made great military achievements will not only be promoted, but their slave status will also be abolished and they will be reduced to lower-class or middle-class people. But in reality, no matter how great the achievements of slaves are, they will be taken away by others."

Li Xiucheng said: "If you say so, then the lower-level soldiers in your army, especially those who were born as slaves, are not oppressed miserably."

"Yes, so among the lower-level skills, especially those born as slaves, there is a rebellious heart in their hearts that wants to overthrow this empire. Unfortunately, the rebels back then all failed and fled Mars. Many slaves who participated in the rebellion were eliminated, including many of our lower-level soldiers."

Isis asked, "So your lower-level soldiers are no longer resisting?"

“No, everyone is actually waiting for an opportunity.”

Salamander asked, "I guess the previous secret communications and some codes have probably been figured out by the Dion Army."

"Yes, we also made some new codes and some new hand gestures, as well as some secret communication channels. So there are many secret communication channels. I only know one of them. I don't know whether the Dion Army has mastered this one."

Salamander said, "It doesn't matter. Can you give it to us?"

Brooks thought about the fact that the Skywing Mercenary Group and the Dion Empire were currently hostile to each other, and decided to hand over one of the secret communication channels he had to the other party.

Salamander asked, "Have those secret resistance organizations from the lower levels been integrated so far, or are they still scattered as before?"

“Although some have been integrated, most are still operating independently.”

Then, Salamanda and his team questioned the captured low-level soldiers, trying to extract some information from them. For example, in addition to the secret resistance group of the low-level soldiers, there were also some external anti-Dion Empire organizations, and they also obtained several secret communication channels.

What Salamanda didn't expect was that many organizations were in disarray before he left.
