Han Jijyun didn't reply to him. He just looked started at the patrolling mecha flying past him quietly.
"This was how I felt many years ago. However, I woke up from that nightmare too late. You still have a lot of time compared to me." Liu Furong sighed. "Since you know that you are weak, just work hard to catch up with them. Don't get abandoned by them again and wallow in sadness alone."
"Thank you, Leader Liu," Han Jijyun sincerely thanked him.
"Let's go. Just like what you said, our mission is to escort the supplies to our base safely. There are a million soldiers still waiting for us." Liu Furong looked at Base 013. The people inside were waiting for these supplies so that they could stay alive and continue fighting for their lives. Because of this, their regiment commander exposed himself even though he knew that he would be surrounded. He attracted their enemy's attention just to increase the chance of them running away with the supplies.
This was all for one goal: To ensure the survival of more soldiers from the Federation. This was the only way they could maintain their last hope.
"We mustn't disappoint our regiment commander," Liu Furong said seriously. If they weren't able to complete this mission, they wouldn't be able to face their regiment commander who cleared the path for them by risking his life.
"Yes, I will complete this mission." Han Jijyun clenched his fist firmly and gritted his teeth. He saw that there were no mechas around them so he immediately gave an order to move.
"Regiment commander, you brought Leader Han out because you wanted him to recognize his flaws, right?" Han Jijyun was not so decisive in the past. Even if he knew that his judgment the correct one, he would still discuss it with the other leaders first before making the final decision. Now, Han Jijyun was much more resolute.
'Han Jijyun is extremely lucky to have such a caring and thoughtful regiment commander.' Liu Furong looked at Han Jijyun's mecha with envy, while also feeling pity and dejected. If his previous regiment commander was like Ling Lan, his life might have been very different.
Han Jijyun and Liu Furong didn't know that someone had seen through Ling Lan's scheme and were moving towards them quickly.
"Regiment commander, we didn't find any transport mechas." Luo Qi's team searched their surroundings as they moved. But, they didn't find anyone. Luo Qi started to suspect himself. 'Am I wrong?'
"Regiment commander, we will be entering Base 013's territory if we continue moving forward," the team member reminded him.
"Continue." Luo Qi didn't give up.
The instant they entered the territory of Base 013, the long-range cannons in Base 013 were fired in their direction. Luo Qi operated his mecha and dodged the attack easily. He scoffed, "Why is this base still so fierce? The commander-in-chief might have a hard time trying to defeat them if he was planning to surround them and make them lose without a fight."
"Regiment commander, He'er Li reported that there is an imperial level operator in Base 013 who is stronger than him. He is dead set about taking revenge so he even used the high-efficiency restorative agents. He didn't have to use it, but to ensure that he can partic.i.p.ate in the last battle, he used it fearlessly." One of the team members appeared schadenfreude. The high-efficiency restorative agent was good but there were some side effects. Thus, they would only use it if they were in dire circ.u.mstances. The G.o.d-Killers were banned from using this agent. However, He'er Li got impacted heavily by the loss so he ignored all consequences and used this agent in the hopes of getting revenge.
"So they have a pillar of support." Luo Qi smiled with disdain. This person would only give them support for this period of time. When the time comes, he would personally kill their hope and destroy their faith.
Victory will always belong to Hailiya! Luo Qi was filled with confidence, as the Flying Dragon Special Forces was nothing to him. They would be defeated by the G.o.d-Killers easily. In the human world, the Flying Dragon Special Forces was ranked second in the list of elite mecha forces of every country while the G.o.d-Killers were ranked fifth. Luo Qi didn't really accept this ranking, as he felt that they were no weaker than the Flying Dragon Special Forces. He believed that they were given such low ranking in comparison to the Flying Dragon Special Forces because the Federation was stronger than their country, Hailiya. This time, after they took over Planet Haijiao and defeated the Federation, the G.o.d-Killers would overtake the Flying Dragon Special Forces and become the ultimate second rank.
As for the first place, he didn't think about it at all. The Devilbeast from Caesar was able to remain in the first position because they had produced many G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. This was why they were above the Flying Dragon Special Forces, as the Flying Dragon Special Forces never produced any G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. This had caused many controversies about the Flying Dragon Special Forces' ranking. It was what made the other elite mecha forces unwilling to accept their position too.
"Regiment commander, we still didn't find anything. We'll be entering Base Yaqi's territory soon." After flying for some time, one of the team members reminded him again. "Shall we go back to Base Jiemi?"
"Fine, let's go back," Luo Qi said dejectedly. Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly, "Wait!"
"Zuo Luo, open the map," Luo Qi ordered his mainframe.
"Zuo Luo understands." Soon, a miniature map of the battlefield appeared on his mecha screen. Luo Qi looked at it and realized something.
"Ai'er, inform Base Yaqi that we'll be entering their territory to carry out a search mission." Luo Qi ordered excitedly, "Finally, I'll be able to catch you all. I didn't expect you all to make a roundabout. Unfortunately, you all are still going to be caught by me."
As expected, after entering the territory of Base Yaqi, they found some traces of the transport team. Luo Qi and his team quickly controlled their mechas and flew over. After flying for some time, they saw a huge army in front of them moving silently across the territory of Base Yaqi. They were about to enter the territory of Base 013.
"Regiment commander, we really found the transport team. We really found them." The team members shouted happily. This would be a great merit.
"This is bad. Our enemy has found us." Liu Furong saw their opponent's mechas flying towards them and knew that they were in a lot of danger.
Han Jijyun quickly moved closer to Liu Furong's position and saw the familiar mechas. Blood seemed to be drained out from his face when he said, "It's those imperial operators." 'd.a.m.n it, why did we meet these fellows? Without their Boss, they couldn't resist them.'
Liu Furong's gaze turned cold. Since they couldn't evade them, they had to take them on forcefully. Their regiment commander exposed himself so that they would be able to leave safely. Now, the transport team was about to enter the territory of Base 013. How could they let these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds stop them from going home?
