The Federation's armored forces rolled back, and due to the lack of heavy vehicles, several heavy mechs were simply parked on flatbed trucks and dragged forward by the tanks.

Both Joseph and William were seated in a specially built command car, not in their mech. Except for the combat phase, usually the mechs are mostly in transport mode.

Joseph took a glass of red wine, shook it slightly, and said, "Is it really good to leave those captives behind?"

"What if we don't have that much spare space to build a prison, and we can't afford to waste precious high-end capacity to get them out of here. That would be pointless, and the result of their return to the Federation would be to be sent to a military court, so it would be better to sentence them to death here and save transportation capacity. ”

Joseph said, "Of course I know that. They were all veterans left over from a few vicious battles, and if they hadn't landed in this damn place, they would have been sent back a long time ago. In any case, we should not treat them like this. ”

"So I let them stay as if nothing had happened and we hadn't seen them. ”

"But don't forget, our warriors have seen it. ”

"They? How many of these people do you think will survive in another month?"

Joseph's eyes darkened, he took a big sip of wine, and said, "What the hell is this, why did we take this task in the first place!"

William said lightly: "If it weren't for us, it might have been worse if someone else came." At least we've established ourselves here. ”

Joseph snorted and said, "Have you stood firm? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chariot shook violently and almost overturned. Joseph and William were caught off guard and were both thrown against the wall of the car. The lights inside the car dimmed, and a shrill siren sounded.

William immediately turned on the virtual screen, and from multiple screens, he could see that there were groups of strange beasts in all directions, and there were thorns flying down in the air!

"It's another beast tide!" Joseph had already opened the car door and rushed out.

The troops were suddenly attacked, but they did not panic, and the first and last chariots quickly moved closer to the middle, forming a circular position, covering the mechs in the center to enter the combat state.

The herd swooped down like a tidal wave, and several chariots on the periphery were quickly submerged and destroyed.

However, the lancers are known for their fighting qualities, and they all fight to the death, desperately pouring firepower while maintaining a tight formation. Under the containment of the periphery, in the blink of an eye, the heavy mechs on the inner layer quickly entered a combat state, and immediately began to sweep the surrounding herds.

A few minutes later, the fierce battle ended.

The beast tide was almost completely wiped out, and only a few retreated. The loss of the tank unit was close to 15%, and the heavy mechs were also damaged.

Looking at the battlefield full of messes, William's face was very ugly and he was silent for a long time. Joseph's voice rang out in the communication channel: "Let's go, there's still half the way." Our current forces will not be able to withstand another beast tide. ”

William was silent, parked the mech on the carrier, and the man did not get off the mech, and returned to the Shadow Fortress with the troops.

Horizon 2 Base is back in normal order, and all Federation soldiers are constantly busy, cleaning up the wreckage of the battlefield and rebuilding the base.

Colonel Roland and others were arrested first and then released, and during this time, they got a lot of news from their former colleagues.

The area around the Shadow Fortress has receded, and it has become a large-scale attack in days. Therefore, after the defeat of Rose, Joseph and William decided to attack with all their might, preparing to defeat Lin Xi and Chu Jungui in one fell swoop. In their eyes, the agents of the Special Operations Division are much more dangerous than the beast tide.

Along the way, the federal forces experienced several herd attacks, but with Joseph and William, the two major firepower fulcrums, each time they defeated the herd with small losses. As a result, the losses in the final battle were several times greater than those along the way. The biggest loss came from Chu Jungui, followed by Lin Xi. As for Roland and the other Federation soldiers, they were basically not at the point of fire, and they were not armed, so they could only be captured.

In fact, Lin Xi knew their psychology very well, in the face of the overwhelming federal forces, these original federal soldiers naturally couldn't afford to resist. It's just that Lin Xi doesn't plan to break down this matter, everyone has a time when they are in a desperate situation.

However, after grabbing and letting go, these original lancer warriors understood what would happen when they returned. Otherwise, William wouldn't have deliberately forgotten them. There is no way out, if you want to survive, you can only rely on Lin Xi and Chu Jungui, so everyone works hard, and no one is hiding treachery. All work is to survive.

Although William and Joseph said that they would give a week, Lin Xi and Chu Jungui did not dare to be careless. This unexpected raid has actually completely defeated them once. If Joseph hadn't been overconfident and went to Chu Jun to fight alone, William would have had to release the two according to the code of honor, and they would have become captives or corpses long ago.

At this point, for the first time, the test subject and Lin Xi truly comprehended the power of the famous generals of the Federation.

The reconstruction of the base is going very well. Although the newly built attack mobile base was destroyed, the metal materials could be recycled, and the wreckage of more than 20 combat vehicles on the battlefield could be used.

In addition to this, Joseph and William left behind three bungalows that were used as temporary prisons. These three simple rooms, where you can breathe freely, are one of the few luxuries at Horizon 2 Base.

Distributions are formed naturally.

The room where Lin Xi was held was in the best condition, and naturally became a place for her and Chu Jungui to rest. Colonel Roland, Duke, and several other officers lived in the second room, and the rest of the dozen or so fighters were crammed into the third.

Being able to take off a helmet is very comfortable for ordinary people. Seeing the ease and comfort of the soldiers coming out of the room, Chu Jungui was not only surprised, but also began to re-examine the needs of ordinary humans for comfort and rest.

In the subject's past conception, survival was paramount, and as long as it was able to survive, it didn't matter at all whether there was entertainment or rest.

Deep space warriors who are able to independently explore deep space in the most extreme conditions do not need entertainment.

In the reconstruction of the base, the directional choice was once again placed in front of Lin Xi and Chu Jungui. The first week is safe, but after a week you can face a federal attack at any time. On the other hand, the threat of the beast tide is once again on the table.

Lin Xi's idea was to build multiple mobile bases that could be shifted at any time. On the one hand, it can make it difficult for the beast tide to merge, and on the other hand, it will make it impossible for the Federation to find its whereabouts. This line of thinking was also supported by Roland and all the officers.

And Chu Jungui is thinking about another direction: firepower.
