In just one minute of fighting, the mecha unit's casualties rose like corn kernels in a pot, crackling and rising.
After a breakthrough was quickly made in the encirclement, the SS commander realized that something was wrong.
He's just fanatical, not stupid.
Among the mechas forming the encirclement, only about 400 were members of the Royal Guard, and the rest were pilots drawn from other teams.
The guards and elite soldiers drawn from the front-line troops were fine. When faced with precise artillery strikes and huge casualties, they were able to maneuver and evade while barely maintaining their own front line.
Operators with less training and driving skills began to be reimbursed in large numbers.
The reason why the current battle line is still stable, in addition to the elites' efforts to maintain it, is mainly because these grassroots operators have not yet realized what they are facing.
The battle lasted half an hour from start to finish, with the high-intensity firefight lasting only about ten minutes.
In the middle and late stages of the battle, the situation had changed from a siege to a game of cat and mouse.
The commander of the Double Corona Empire also tried to disperse the mecha group to lure the fire cruisers hidden in the force field of the legion shield out to pursue.
And the latter did leave the protection range of the shield as he wished.
But he soon discovered that even without the protection of the Guardian-class logistics ship, the cruiser's own shield was indestructible to the mecha's firepower.
But the commander was no longer able to change the situation.
He was unable to give the order to retreat, so he could only order his troops to disperse as much as possible, using a loose structure to minimize the density of enemy artillery fire.
After the Toleks-class, which had been chasing and intercepting nuclear missiles, completed their mission and returned to the team, the mecha groups began to be eliminated in an organized manner.
The first to flee were the mechas that were temporarily recruited from the second-line troops. The morale of these operators completely collapsed when faced with huge casualties.
Moreover, because the entire command system was quickly destroyed, this part of the mecha fell into a chaotic state with no leader.
The emperor's personal guards fought to the last moment due to the dual effects of psychological suggestion and drugs.
They died in glory, faith and madness.
Those noble mechas with gorgeous paint jobs were all destroyed by the cold artillery fire and turned into cold fragments in the gorgeous explosions.
According to post-war statistics, only about 20% of the mechas successfully escaped from the battlefield, and these were mainly the elite front-line troops who still had reason.
After being dispersed, they quickly regrouped and tried to cover the retreat of some of the fleeing second-line mecha troops.
The remaining units were all strangled by Tolex's artillery fire and the accompanying drone swarms.
…
Li Nanxiang knelt on the alloy floor of the bridge, tears welling up in her eyes.
Even though she realized the gap between the two sides at the beginning, she never thought that she would witness such a massacre against her own ethnic group with her own eyes.
However, the dispute was initiated by her own side, and she could do nothing about this fact.
"Captain, the Griffins request to connect with us."
"Let them in."
Dolap glanced at the girl on the floor, then turned his gaze to the information on the display.
A Toleks-class ship had arrived at the side of the Aleph and extended its reach through the docking corridor to connect with the Aleph.
After the air pressure between the two sides stabilized again, a team of fully armed human soldiers passed through the docking corridor and went straight into the interior of Aleph.
These soldiers are dressed in hard power armor and are fully armed with live ammunition. They look very combat-ready.
They split into two groups, one team followed Lao Li to the accommodation area to receive the prisoners, and the other team went directly to the bridge.
"Hello."
The leading soldier extended his hand toward Dolap and increased the two-way transparency of the mask glass so that Dolap could see his face clearly.
This is the leader of the team. He has blond hair and blue eyes. His facial bones are prominent and distinct in structure. His thick eyebrows converge towards his nose bridge, making him look intimidating without even being angry.
"According to orders from our superiors, our ship will take over the management of the Zeli System. Please cooperate in completing the prisoner handover and depart promptly."
"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate."
Dolap shook hands and nodded repeatedly.
After all, Dolap is a businessman, and the slick attitude honed from years of doing business has helped him avoid many unnecessary risks.
Two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Li Nanxiang from behind and dragged her away from the bridge.
A soldier held a stack of papers and distributed them to everyone in the bridge one by one.
"Remember, nothing's happening here."
There was no fluctuation in the leading soldier's tone, as if he was talking to a dead object.
Dolap took the paper and saw the words "Confidentiality Agreement" written on it. He immediately knew that he was in big trouble.
He kicked the first mate next to him.
"Go, delete all the logs and surveillance footage from this period."
The first mate's face turned black. "Why don't you do it yourself? Then leave my name on the system, right?"
"Are you going or not?"
Dolap's face didn't look much better, it was green and dark.
So the first mate had no choice but to enter his password happily.
After finishing all the matters at hand and sending away the living devil coming from the Griffin, Dolap immediately gave the order.
"Inform all ships to maintain their current course and leave immediately after refueling. Remember, we have never been here before."
