When André decided to retreat, Tom Hirst, who was fighting alongside him against the Empire's number one mech, also chose to fall back. There were several reasons for this decision. For one, both of them had been beaten up by Ji Xinghe multiple times since arriving at Base Six, and because they were proud men from the Outer Continents, they had been pummeled many times. But the most crucial reason was the shift in the battle's dynamics: from nine against six, it had turned into twelve against three. Ji Xinghe had already taken out two Empire mechs, and another had been destroyed by other mech warriors. The advantage was now clearly in their favor.

War is not a game; others won't cooperate with your performance unless it brings victory.

After assessing the situation, Ji Xinghe asked, "Excuse me, are we in a hurry to finish this?"

The very fact that he could ask this question indicated that he was confident. The highest-ranking mech warrior on the field, who had command authority, promp

    One wave hadn't settled before another began. This is war.Without retreating, Ji Xinghe chose to sidestep and advance as the Number 1 Imperial Mech tried to get close to him. The 4.2-meter-tall mech moved with a graceful twist, giving a sense of agility despite its massive frame, then it lunged with its spear.The already identified weakness was magnified at this moment. The over-six-meter-long spear struck and retracted, leaving a more pronounced crack on the Number 1 Imperial Mech. The force of this strike was so great that it destabilized the Imperial Mech's momentum, making it unable to block the second strike."Two."The outcome was decided, but Ji Xinghe decisively and ruthlessly delivered a third strike, aiming directly at the now-exposed cockpit of the Number 1 Imperial Mech."One."An Imperial ape died instantly, the sharp spear easily shattering its head."Beautiful." As the surrounding mech warriors began to praise, they also started running. The detected Imperial mechs we

    “They seem to be regrouping to retreat. We don't know what intel they have, but we must take the initiative to attack and hold them here. We can't wait for Unit 2 to join us. If we wait for around seven minutes, we won't be able to catch them.”“Eleven against ten, we have no advantage, only a disadvantage. But all we need to do is hold them off, delay them until Unit 2 arrives. Sixteen against ten, we can annihilate them.”“Start numbering now. I am Unit 1, Andre is Unit 2... Ji Xinghe is Unit 11. Based on the info from the scouting eye and intel from our fallen comrades, the base has numbered the ten Imperial mechs from one to ten. The relevant data has been transmitted to your mechs. I am Unit 1, and I will take on Imperial Mech 1. Follow the prompts on your display to identify your targets once we reach the battlefield.”“We need to divide the battlefield. If the Imperial mechs fight in a cluster, we can't withstand their charge. Ji Xinghe, we trust you, so you'll be responsible f

    Ji Xinghe didn't know Zhang Qian wanted to apologize to him, but he wanted to say sorry to Zhang Qian: Sorry, I did more but still couldn't protect you.Ji Xinghe, who had lured away three Imperial mechs alone, had contributed far beyond the combat mission objectives given to him by the commander. But Imperial mechs weren't soft targets. If Ji Xinghe could single-handedly defeat an Imperial mech, then Imperial mechs could naturally single-handedly defeat Federation mechs as well.If entanglement were really that easy, why would the commander ask the mech warriors to update their last words before the battle?They had all recorded their last words before, everyone had. It wasn't an ominous sign, but a statement of their willingness to die. When they updated their last words before a new battle, it showed they were ready to die.But they shouldn't die, because they were still very young, like my sons, even younger than my son.Ji Xinghe thought this in his heart, his eyes reddened, not

    The two Imperial mechs charging forward suddenly stopped. Their original target was Jixinghe, but after failing to subdue him for a long time, they chose to temporarily abandon the pursuit. What they didn’t expect was that within the five seconds after they abandoned Jixinghe, the Imperial mech left behind to hold Jixinghe had already been destroyed.With eyes on the back of their heads, the Imperial mechs and the Federation mechs had similar designs in this regard, allowing them to see the Federation mech that had passed over the Imperial mechs and was now charging at their backs.Only three gold stars—how could he be so strong?If this question were asked to Su Chuanyun, Su Chuanyun would answer: "Because Old Ji doesn’t have time to add more gold stars to his mech. In reality, he already has nine gold stars, just one away from becoming a Federation first-class mech warrior."If the question were asked to Second Lieutenant Shen Mu, Shen Mu would answer: "Some people get nine gold sta

    Warning: Mech integrity at 89%.Warning: Energy remaining at 15%.Two alerts appeared on Ji Xinghe's display. The integrity of the mech wasn’t a major concern, but the energy issue was alarming. The Federal Sixteenth-Generation Standard Mech, capable of running for over a thousand kilometers, had only been away from Base Six for half a day and traveled less than fifty kilometers. The low energy warning showed just how intense the battles had been.Running in full power mode almost all the time allowed Ji Xinghe's mech to be agile in critical moments, but it also significantly increased its energy consumption.Time is running out.Ji Xinghe, having just taken down another imperial mech, did not switch off the full power mode to save energy. He needed to quickly deal with the Number Nine imperial mech wielding the battle knife and then assist his fellow mech warriors. Victory was inevitable now; the second combat unit from Base Six could appear on the battlefield at any moment. But befo

    Ding ding ding...The electronic alert sounded under the flickering lights. The metal gate slowly opened, and a Federation Type-16 standard mech emerged, visibly bearing the marks of a fierce battle, with numerous dents and some damaged areas. It should have headed straight to the mech repair area, but it stopped upon crossing the gate into the inner hangar because it had used up its last bit of strength to turn around.With a creaking sound, the back armor automatically separated, revealing the cockpit to those waiting eagerly."Grandpa."Qi Rong Xinyue ran towards Qi Xinghe, who had just jumped out of the cockpit, arms open for a hug. She expected her grandpa to lift her, but as she got closer, she saw him crouch down. It didn't matter; it was still a hug."Xinxin."Qi Xinghe, still wearing his helmet, hugged Qi Rong Xinyue and gently patted her back, saying softly, "Grandpa has to go make a report first. Will you wait for Grandpa, Xinxin?""Okay."Qi Rong Xinyue replied, feeling Qi

    “His body is fine, mainly just exhaustion and dehydration. Under normal circumstances, a week's rest should see a full recovery. Once he's done with the glucose and nutrient drips, he'll be able to go about his daily activities. It should take about another half an hour.”Outside a hospital room in the medical wing, the doctor's words brought a collective sigh of relief from the waiting crowd.“Alright then, I'll head back to work.” Master Liu and the other repair crew members didn’t go inside to greet Ji Xinghe. Having received reassuring news, they returned to the repair zone to continue fixing the mechs. Their workload had suddenly increased, as almost every mech involved in the battle had sustained some damage. Ensuring the readiness of the mechs at Base Six was their top priority.“As long as he’s okay, it really gave us a scare.”The mech warriors also began to disperse. Some had been waiting at the base, unable to join the fight, while others had returned after completing their

    “Welcome, Technical Sergeant Mecha Repair Specialist Ji Xinghe.”As the electronic prompt sounded, the metal gate of the repair area opened to the sides, and Ji Xinghe stepped inside. Su He, following behind him, frowned slightly upon hearing the title used for Ji Xinghe.Promotions in rank are to be expected. It had been just a day since Ji Xinghe returned to Base Six, and although the tally of his military achievements had not yet been completed, he had already achieved another two-level promotion.However, curiously, Ji Xinghe’s rank still had the prefix "Technical Specialist," similar to Shen Mu’s Technical Second Lieutenant, rather than ranks like Major Han Li, Major Jackson, or Second Lieutenant Li Lin. From a certain perspective, this indicates that the superiors still hope Ji Xinghe will remain a mecha repair specialist, staying in the relatively safe base to repair mechs rather than appearing on the battlefield as a mecha warrior.“In a couple of days, Old Ji, you should beco

    Having decided to participate in the orbital drop mech warrior test, Ji Xinghe did not leave Base Five immediately. It wasn’t that he had hesitated again; the “education” from Ji Rongxinyue had been very effective. The delay was simply because the necessary equipment required time to manufacture.“Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we have reviewed your relevant physical data and estimate that it will take ten days to customize your orbital drop mech suite. Please confirm once again if you want to continue using the Federal standard 16th generation mech?”“Yes, I want to use the Federal standard 16th generation mech.”Ji Xinghe confirmed his choice. If possible, he would have preferred to pilot the Federal 1st generation standard mech, the one he first encountered and used the most. However, the initial models, still usable in the game Starry Glory, had long been phased out on alien battlefields. Therefore, he chose the 16th generation standard mech, which he was second most familiar with.In term

    Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe Squad finally returned to Base No. 6, but they didn’t have much time to reunite with Master Liu and the others. As soon as they arrived, the transfer convoy between Base No. 3 and Base No. 6 was already prepared, and they received orders to depart immediately.“Thank you, and take care.”Ji Xinghe accepted the gift they had prepared for Ji Rong Xinyue, waving goodbye without saying "see you again," because he knew that "goodbye" might mean "forever."The journey was uneventful, and the transfer convoy took three days to finally reach the relatively safe Base No. 5. Despite the sudden influx of people, Base No. 5 did not face any resource shortages as the Federation had already made preparations.Ji Rong Xinyue was very happy to receive the gift, but even happier to see that Ji Xinghe had returned unharmed.“Grandpa, what does orbital drop mean?”For many, this information was still classified, but Ji Xinghe revealed it to Ji Rong Xinyue without reservation, ev

    Chapter 138: The Ace Mecha Warrior’s Interrogation

    At the start of a video conference, all the elite mecha warriors participating watched footage from a battle recorder. The footage showed Ji Xinghe’s fight in the canyon.In this battle, he single-handedly destroyed fourteen Empire mechas, bringing his total number of gold stars to thirty-six, placing him at the middle rank among the Federation’s three hundred and twenty-seven active elite mecha warriors.The first scene depicted a pale blue energy shockwave bursting from a diamond-shaped metal object, sending Federation Level Two mecha warrior Zuo Qiyu flying. He then got up and chose to charge forward.The combat recorder’s audio had not been removed, so all 116 elite mecha warriors participating in the video conference could hear Left Hand’s voice: “Go, Old Ji, don’t look back, run, run fast, I can hold them off.”Through Ji Xinghe’s mecha’s perspective, the elite mecha warriors watched the Federation mecha charging at the Empire mechas and heard the pilot’s shout.

    Inside Base Six, many people were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the convoy from Base Three, hoping to reunite with familiar faces.The surface area of this alien planet couldn't compare to the Blue Planet, and the Federation's controlled area wasn't vast. But the extreme difficulty of transportation and the scarcity of resources meant that many people who met and became familiar on this alien planet might never see each other again after parting.They had promised to reunite on the Blue Planet after winning the war, but some would never return. Even their ashes could only remain on this alien planet, buried deeper and deeper under the orange-red dust, until no one would remember where they were buried.Perhaps one day, when humanity fully occupies this planet, technology will advance enough to change the planet's environment, creating a real atmosphere. Seeds will be scattered across the alien land, taking root and sprouting, carried by the wind to spread new life.When countless se

    A squad of nine mechas was moving swiftly through the canyon. They were a support unit, initially tasked with escorting a convoy to a designated area before returning. However, unexpected developments forced them to turn back.“Have we established contact yet?”“No, the Xinghe Squad is still out of contact.”“Damn it, what the hell are they doing? I could understand if Ji Xinghe and Left Hand went silent, but why did the support team, Blind Man’s group, also go dark? Couldn't they have left someone outside the blackout zone to maintain communication?”When the Xinyue Fox battleship bombarded the area from space, this mecha squad did not advance at full speed. But when a flare illuminated the alien night sky, they accelerated to maximum speed. The flare, following the bombardment, indicated ongoing enemy presence, necessitating immediate support.But they had no intel.“It's a new team after all, lack of experience is understandable. I heard that Blind Man and his group came from the R

    One, two, three.Faced with encirclement by eight Imperial mechas, Ji Xinghe seized every opportunity he could. After single-handedly taking down three Imperial mechas, he finally ran out of chances. There were still five mechas left in pursuit, with enough distance between them for him to take them out one by one, but the canyon held more dangers than just those five. While Ji Xinghe wasn’t sure how long it would take to completely destroy the rhomboid metal construct, the Imperial mechas’ previous caution suggested it wasn't invulnerable to mecha attacks.The six Imperial mechas assigned to destroy the construct could join the pursuit at any moment. If Ji Xinghe waited until they appeared, he would lose his chance to escape.He didn’t want to die, so he chose to run before the opportunity vanished completely.At full speed, the sixteenth-generation Federation standard mecha dashed through the dark canyon, kicking up a trail of dust. Behind him were eleven Imperial mechas that had al

    Six Federation mechas gathered together, now in full power mode, advancing quickly in an assault formation toward the depths of the canyon. The previously lively communication channel had fallen silent, with only the faint sound of each other’s breathing audible.They had already increased their speed once when they entered the canyon, shifting from reconnaissance mode to fast-advance mode. But when the signal flare's light pierced through the dark canyon and exploded in the night sky, their speed reached its peak.If they wanted to go faster, they would have to charge, but now was clearly not the time for that."We are about to enter the communication blackout zone. All units, take note: if the enemy's numbers are overwhelming, Niuma, Heavy Cannon, immediately retreat to maintain communication. If necessary, withdraw at full speed."Blind Man’s command was met with no objections, not even from Su Chuanyun, who had just become Niuma. Despite his personality, he didn’t argue. He knew v

    As Ji Xinghe once again destroyed three Imperial mechas, the total number of Imperial mechas in the canyon didn't decrease; instead, it increased.Twenty-two, exactly matching the number of golden stars on Ji Xinghe's mecha."The warp gate has disappeared. They're gone. They've stopped."Left Hand exclaimed in surprise. In his sight, the diamond-shaped metal warp gate vanished suddenly, as if it had run out of energy, just as the thirtieth Imperial mecha descended from it. The diamond-shaped metal reverted to being an inert metal ingot.Their reinforcements were gone, and they had stopped moving.After breaking eight Imperial mechas in total, the third batch of four Imperial mechas chasing Ji Xinghe and Left Hand finally halted. They chose not to continue their charge, maintaining a safe pursuit distance from Ji Xinghe and Left Hand's mechas.The eighteen Imperial mechas guarding the diamond-shaped metal also remained motionless, as if their systems had shut down.But Ji Xinghe showed

    “Old Ji, you should have run, really.”Left Hand stared at the three Imperial mechas two hundred meters away, which had stopped their charge, and the ten more mechas near the rhombus-shaped metallic structure further back. He still believed Ji Xinghe should have run.The two Imperial mechas he was holding off had been destroyed the moment Ji Xinghe joined the battle. Up to this point, the two of them had already taken down five Imperial mechas, and neither of their mechas had suffered any substantial damage. It was a rare and complete victory, but the number of Imperial mechas remained overwhelming, and they kept increasing.“We still have time to run,” Left Hand continued to persuade. “We’re right near Base No. 3. They’ve got heavy defenses there, and Blind and the others are ready to back us up. If we run together, we might be able to link up with them. By then, with eight mechas fighting together, they might just give up chasing us. Plus, once we get to a zone where communications
