The eight-hour ceasefire only gave the Dion army fighting in outer space a chance to catch their breath. The short rest allowed them to recover to about 50% of their original state.

Although the Martian ground forces dispatched some reinforcements, it was just a drop in the bucket.

These forces are only there to protect satellites and ensure the retreat of outer space forces.

During the 8-hour ceasefire, both sides rushed to search and rescue their companions who were waiting for rescue on the battlefield. The Steel Ball Search and Rescue Medical Ship did not rescue a large number of Tianyi mercenaries as usual.

Because the ratio of casualties and losses on both sides reached 1:10 and 1:16.

The main reason for this result, in addition to the fact that the Tianyi Mercenaries had produced more powerful weapons, was that the Dion Army, which was in seriously insufficient condition, was completely suppressed by the Tianyi Mercenaries, which were in full condition.

On the other hand, the coalition forces continued to return to their respective countries, and the original logistics troops also completed their work one after another.

After leaving the Martian sphere, the united forces scattered and returned to their respective countries.

And they are returning to their country at full speed because there are Tianyi Mercenary Corps troops conducting live-fire exercises on the border of their country.

The eight-hour ceasefire is over, and the two sides have started fighting again, with missiles flying, light beams crossing, machines firing from long distances, dog fights, close combat and team battles.

The fighting started again inside the No. 1 factory battleship, and this time the Tianyi mercenaries did not have much to worry about.

If a young soldier is found, the Tianyi mercenaries will try their best to capture him with weapons if conditions permit.

Although the No. 1 Factory Battleship received some reinforcements, it was unable to withstand the continuous influx of the Mie Weng troops.

The interior of Factory Battleship No. 1 was completely suppressed at this moment.

While the war correspondents were filming, hovercraft trucks, M353A4 Bloodhounds, linear artillery, linear gun tanks, mobile engineers, and more were running around on the ground.

The machines of both sides also fought in a ball.

In the sky above, the Space Overlord, Mobius Zero, Wired Pod Assault Backpack, and Egasus of the Destroyer Force provided ground and air support.

The Egasus is manned or operated by Haro. The manned ones are pilots of fighter jets who have been gradually forced to retire.

Since Ms became the main force on the battlefield, the status of fighter jets has been compressed, which has caused many fighter pilots to either be forced to retire or enter Ms control training.

The four-wire guided pod is originally designed to be used by people with superb spatial cognition ability in order to exert its full performance.

However, Long Fei improved it and made it have a dragoon system.

A Wingbird was attacked from all sides by the beam cannons of Egasus' four wire-guided pods. The four pairs of beam cannons penetrated the Wingbird's body from different angles.

Then, Egasus made a high-speed dive, with a twin-mounted linear cannon on the nose, aiming at the Azure Holy Machine 45 degrees to the lower right, firing continuously and hitting the Azure Holy Machine continuously, and finally fired a four-year-mounted missile to destroy the Azure.

"Oh ooh ooh! Who said that fighter planes are useless? As long as we have good fighter planes, we can still achieve good results!" The Egasus pilot shouted excitedly.

The years of frustration gave him a sense of relief.

Several linear artillery tanks blew open a gate, and a number of mobile engineers rushed in and continuously fired at the enemy in front of them. Many Tianyi mercenaries wearing external armor rushed in.

There was a brief exchange of fire in the control room of the nuclear reactor in Area A1. Many bodies of Dion's soldiers lay on the floor, and a few were seriously wounded and taken away for emergency treatment.

The Tianyi Mercenary Group controlled the nuclear reactor on the console and cut off some of the supply lines.

Some factories that were still in operation were forced to shut down, and many equipment also stopped operating.

It is only a matter of time before Area A1 is completely conquered.

Then there were exchanges of fire in other corridors, and countless bodies of Dion's soldiers were lying on the ground. As long as there were injured members of the Tianyi Mercenaries, as long as the injuries were not too serious, they could basically be healed with healing gel.

The Dion Army’s individual ground combat weapons and overall capabilities are not as good as those of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

Several drones controlled by the new human spirit flew to a corridor and exploded.

Directly blew up several Dion soldiers in the corridor and killed them.

The Tianyi mercenaries did not completely rely on the stealth function of the Spartan combat uniforms, because the Dion Army's anti-stealth scanner could detect the invisible Tianyi mercenaries within 300 meters.

Then the control room of Area B1 was also taken over by the Tianyi mercenaries.

In the command room of the No. 1 Factory Battleship, Colonel Petrov looked at the current situation inside the No. 1 Factory Battleship. It was only a matter of time before the ship was captured by the Tianyi mercenaries.

Originally, Colonel Petrov, I was going to detonate the main nuclear reactor in the terminal control room and perish together with the enemy.

However, if this is done, the factory battleship will explode into several pieces, and the blown-up sections will fall to the ground of Mars, which may cause changes in the Martian environment in the worst case.

Originally, Mars, which had been terraformed with great difficulty, might have returned to its previous state.

Colonel Petrov really couldn't do this, because if he did, even if the Dion Army really won in the end, Mars might become uninhabitable by then, and where would all his compatriots go?

Colonel Petrov really couldn't bear the accusation of being a sinner for all eternity. Colonel Petrov felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

At this time, a subordinate brought an urgent message from the second prince Yelishade.

"Connect."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Special Colonel, Factory Battleship No. 1, I already know the current situation. I order you to surrender."

"Your Highness, how can this be done? If you do this, I would rather fight to the death with the others."

"And then, will the final nuclear reactor explode and we perish together with the enemy?"

“…” Colonel Petrov was speechless for a moment.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"I have thought that if I do this, it may cause climate change on Mars. I cannot afford to do this."

"So I order you to surrender so that you and everyone else can survive. Only by keeping your lives can you have a chance to turn the tables."

"But if we were prisoners, it would be a disgrace to the country."

"It's better for you to be captives of the Tianyi Mercenaries than captives of other countries, right? Think about your families. If possible, I don't want you to be prisoners of the enemy, but I don't want to see your relatives crying for you. If you survive, at least you can return to your loved ones. Think about your parents who need you to take care of them in their old age."

Yelishaud's words touched everyone present. No matter whether they were ordinary humans, adjusted humans, or new humans, they all had relatives such as parents and children. Many people had already dedicated their lives to the country in their hearts and were willing to sacrifice for the country at any time, but when they thought of their parents and children, everyone couldn't let go.

"Now I order you to surrender. I believe Long Fei will not harm you." Yelishaode gave his order with tears in his eyes. He did not want his soldiers to surrender, but he knew that Factory Battleship No. 1 had no chance of turning the tables at this moment.

Continuing would only increase the casualties among the soldiers.

Yelishaud gave this order reluctantly, hoping that his soldiers would have a chance of survival.

“Your humble servant…” Colonel Petrov shook his head to one side with tears in his eyes and shouted unwillingly, “As you command!”

Colonel Petrov took the microphone and issued a surrender order to all soldiers on the factory warships.
