The mercenaries, beginning to flee, did not make the King of the East abandon his pursuit, leading to even greater casualties.
It's actually unreasonable; from both tactical and strategic perspectives, the King of the East had no reason to chase them. Thus, the mercenaries who had anticipated the worst-case scenario never expected such severe consequences.
Why is this?
Because the King of the East is very angry now.
"Wastes! Wastes! Wastes! All of them are wastes!"
Driving the Prince Mech with unparalleled might, the King of the East continued to curse, but he wasn't scolding the Federal mercenaries he was hunting, rather, he was scolding his kindred.
Foremost among them is the already sacrificed King of the South.
When he saw through the continuously transmitted intelligence from the two Transition Bases that the King of the South was thrown out of the Prince Mech by Ji Xinghe, he felt a sense of regret never felt before.
