"Gather! Gather! Gather!"

Amidst the shouts, the federal mecha warriors located on a blockade line quickly completed their assembly and immediately followed their captain, running at full speed in the alien night.

The number and configuration of seventeen mechas at full strength shows that this is not a conventional mecha squad, but an elite mecha squad formed by super-class mecha warriors.

As the Federation gradually gained victory on the alien planet, more and more Imperial mechas were captured, and the number of regular Federation mecha squads also increased to thirty, which was consistent in number with the Empire's regular mecha squads.

.

In the previous 'Battle of the Mountain', Tian Qi, Gustav, Bolant, and Xin Bing's Team 607 had only sixteen mechas when they entered the war because they were killed before they entered the war.

It was reduced to a remnant, and the new mecha warriors and mechas were not fully replenished.

"Accepting orders from the headquarters, the Empire's jump mechas have appeared in our defense area. Our mission is to detect the enemy's situation. If not necessary, we will not fight them and wait for follow-up support to be in place."

The captain's voice sounded in the team's communication channel.

Jump mechas are not mechas with the ability to jump, but are the federal name for imperial mechas with small jump gates hidden inside the mechas.

In essence, this kind of imperial mecha is not a mecha at all. It just has the appearance of a regular imperial mecha. Not only does it not have a cockpit inside, but even the mechanical structure is different from a normal mecha because it has to hide a small jump door.

A is very different, basically has no combat effectiveness.

However, the threat that the jump mecha can bring far exceeds that of a complete imperial mecha corps, or even the empire's anti-galaxy mecha corps.

Because the Anti-Galaxy Mecha Corps can break through the Federation's blockade in the Mountain of the Gods theater through jump mechas and appear in areas where the Federation's defense is weak.

Therefore, this kind of mission of detecting the enemy's situation is actually very dangerous.

After explaining the situation, the captain hesitated slightly and then said: "Everyone, please add your last words."

"yes!"

No one complained, and no one asked about the magnitude of the support force or how long it would take to arrive.

The quiet team communication channel showed that all team members were adding their own last words.

Although it is a mission to detect the enemy's situation, and it is said that there will be no war unless necessary, there is nothing unnecessary in being on an alien planet and facing an invading empire.

More than half an hour.

The mecha team, which traveled more than a hundred kilometers, successfully arrived near the coordinates where the headquarters discovered the imperial jump mecha.

Seventeen mechas were immediately divided into three squads and began reconnaissance operations from three directions.

"Report, we found seven imperial mechas."

"Report, we found twelve imperial mechas, and we were also discovered by them."

"Avoid the battle and continue investigation."

"Report, we have found thirty-five Imperial mechas. We can confirm that they are at least two complete squadrons of regular Imperial mechas."

"Report, twelve imperial mechas are chasing our team, and they cannot continue to complete the reconnaissance mission."

"Retreat."

"yes!"

"Report, our team is being pursued by seven Imperial mechas. We are confident of defeating them."

"Don't fight, retreat back and prepare to join up."

"Captain, we can really defeat them. Even though it's six versus seven, I'm very strong, you know."

"I told you to retreat backwards and avoid the battle. Are you deaf?"

"yes!"

The federal special-grade mecha team, which had not yet discovered the precise coordinates of the imperial jump mecha, was unable to continue its reconnaissance mission because of the imperial mecha that was thrown out like a net.

The super-class mecha warrior captain, who had not been pursued by the imperial mecha yet, hesitated with four mechas.

Judging from the current situation, there will be no problem as long as the other two teams avoid fighting, and he can continue to lead the team for in-depth investigation.

But the problem is that because of the darkness, it is difficult for federal reconnaissance satellites and other reconnaissance equipment to play their due role.

Before it is certain how many Imperial mechas the Empire's jump mechas have brought, the other two teams may encounter more Imperial mechas at any time.

It would be really dangerous if they don't meet up.

But if they choose to join together, they will be caught in the pursuit of the Imperial mecha and lose the ability to conduct investigations.

Without clear investigation of the enemy's situation, the federation will not be able to mobilize sufficient and appropriate forces to support accurately and effectively.

Saturation support?

nonexistent.

The Federation is not that wealthy yet, and the Imperial jump mecha where their team is located is most likely just a decoy.

Once the Federation chooses saturation support, the defense line will be empty, and another or more Imperial jump mechas will seize the opportunity to tear apart the Federation's defense line and leave calmly.

The empire has really been driven crazy by the old man. Warp mechas are now being sent out for free.

While the captain was thinking this, he made a decision.

"You go and join them."

"Captain, what about you?"

"I'll explore further."

The four team members were instantly anxious.

"Are you crazy?"

"If they want to go with us, they can just meet up on their own. If we encounter any situation, four more of us will not be too much, and four of us less will not be enough."

"I'm not leaving. How about, captain, you personally send me to the gendarmerie? You can also send me directly to the military court."

"Captain, you really are not an old man, don't make trouble."

Those who can join the special mecha team are elites, and under normal circumstances, elites have a bigger temper, and the captain also knows this.

If there was a need to impose orders and prohibitions, he and his team members would all be perfect soldiers, but now...

"Captain, they are coming."

A reminder made the captain no longer need to hesitate. They had been discovered by the imperial mecha and were pursuing them.

In this case, unless he is an ace mecha warrior, there is no way he can continue to complete the reconnaissance mission.

"retreat."

Five federal mechas, pursued by sixteen imperial mechas, gave up their mission of continuing the investigation and tried to join up with other teammates.

A ball of fire also burst out in the sky in the direction of their original reconnaissance. It was the Federation's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that had been shot down by the Imperial mecha.

At this point, it is really impossible to continue the investigation.

Seventeen federal mechas quickly completed the rendezvous, and the imperial mechas chasing behind them also completed the rendezvous. The total number reached thirty, which was a complete squad of regular imperial mechas.

"Captain, let's do it. We can kill them all."

Although they are at a numerical disadvantage, with the presence of special-grade mecha warriors, this team's combat effectiveness is actually very strong.

"Can't do it."

The captain rejected the team member's proposal without any hesitation. He knew very well that although they had the strength to annihilate the enemy, it would take a long time to complete the combat goal of annihilation.

Although the weapons used in mecha battles are mainly cold weapons, due to the high mobility and superb defense of mechas, the fighting is not the cold weapon battles of ancient times.

Situations like stabbing to death are really rare.

Moreover, when the enemy has a numerical advantage, at least half of their team will die.

"I'll call for backup first."

The captain began to contact the headquarters, but since the enemy situation was unknown, the headquarters was indeed unable to provide strong enough support. It only sent two regular-level mecha squads and sixty mechas.

And asked this special team to look for opportunities and continue to complete the investigation mission.

Someone is going to die!

The captain sighed inwardly and prepared to convey the command's order to all team members.

But at this moment, one of the team members suddenly exclaimed.

"Look in the sky, there's a parachute!"

"Parachute? Orbital airborne mecha corps?"

"Azure Independence Group? Are they coming? Hey, why do you only have one parachute?"

"That's not right. The Orbital Airborne Mecha Kit of the Azure Independent Regiment no longer requires a parachute."

When the Federation team discovered the parachute in the sky, the Imperial mecha also discovered it.

Their fire weapons were activated at the first opportunity and bombarded the parachutes in the sky.

Although he didn't understand the situation, the special captain still decisively issued the order.

"Everyone is here, fight me."
