The Empire's firepower support for the Guard Camp finally arrived, and it was unprecedentedly fierce. Although they did not use nuclear warheads, even missiles equipped only with conventional warheads, when in sufficient volume, could cause some damage to the Mountain-cutting Mecha with strong defensive power.
While it was not lethal in the short term, it made it difficult for them to form an effective interception against the Guard Camp. Moreover, during the interception, they would suffer more lethal attacks due to damage to their mechas.
The numerical advantage of the three major independent groups at this moment turned into a disadvantage.
If they had not already suppressed the number of Duke Mecha in the Guard Camp to sixty-one before the Empire's firepower support arrived, they would have been powerless in limiting the break-out of the Guard Camp.
Ji Xinghe's commanding voice rang out again: "All Mountain-cutting Mecha, retreat immediately."
