(Two chapters combined)
"What's the situation?"
Major Jerome asked in the command bunker.
"Reporting, Major, the frequency of enemy attacks has indeed decreased, but based on previous observations, the fire support from the Empire's forces has not diminished."
A Captain stood up and responded.
"Pay attention to artillery defense, increase patrol efforts, a cycle every three days. During the last two cycles, supply external exoskeleton armor with full battery packs, and ensure the mechas are prepared for combat."
Feeling the shockwaves from the shelling around, Major Jerome finally issued the recent defense order.
No matter what, the situation in the Fire Hills area has stabilized. Their sole task is to hold the position until further orders arrive from the headquarters and the division.
It was also from the fourth day of Mu Fan's arrival at Planet E75 that the Empire's Frontier Army troops at the 33rd Battle Zone launched a sudden and fierce attack on the Fire Hills.
