The two men exchanged glances, dropping their previous frivolity.
They were still not out of danger. If the New Federation were to become desperate and destroy this "traitor fortress" at all costs, then the five of them would indeed meet their end here.
Half an hour later, the squad of five assembled once more.
They stood on the first layer of the fortress, strewn with corpses, gathered in front of a large screen, looking up at the battle scene displayed on it.
From a distance, all they could see were the flickering ion beams and the successive appearances of fusion orbs.
It was only when the fusion orbs flickered that one could barely make out the colossal fleets on both sides.
The battle situation was extremely tense.
The New Federation's fleet was under full repression by the Imperial Invincible Fleet. They were now retreating while fighting, attempting to lure the Imperial Fleet into the effective range of the planetary defense system.
