In the hall, Reno's passionate words still lingered in the air when Nora's voice came again.
"Fantastic speech, but I'm sorry to interrupt," Nora said.
"What's wrong?" Reno asked.
"A new force is rushing over, likely armed with heavy weapons. If we don't retreat quickly, the fortress may be breached," Nora replied.
"No!" Then came Stark's furious voice, "The Iron Wall will always stand, the fortress will never fall! Rest assured, Commander, I will hold it!"
Accompanying his roar were the whooshing sounds of flamethrowers and the booming explosions of bombs.
Rubbing his slightly numb ears from the shock, Reno looked at everyone. "Looks like we need to pick up the pace. Everyone, prepare to retreat. I'll send the destination and the next plan to your terminals now. Take a look, and ask me if you have any questions." Reno sent the prepared information to everyone present.
Due to the need for information collection for the experiment, the soldiers' terminals had always been on them, just locked from external communication. After Reno released everyone, the terminals were unlocked and able to receive messages.
"What about her, Commander?" a soldier pointed at Sarah.
Reno glanced at Sarah, thought for a moment, and said, "Take her with us."
"No! You can't take me!" Sarah exclaimed in surprise.
"Sorry, ma'am, looks like you have to come with us." A officer came over, grabbed Sarah's arm, and dragged her away.
After everyone reviewed the plan, Reno asked, "Any questions?"
Everyone shouted in unison, "No questions!"
Reno nodded. "Then execute the order."
He turned around and quickly walked outside.
A fierce battle was unfolding on the ground.
Two companies and a reinforced platoon of Orkwei infantry had set up defenses on the spot, firing wildly at a distant red-painted Hellfire II Improved Mech.
The fiery mech resembled a majestic war god, charging across the battlefield recklessly.
Compared to Reno's Type III mech, the Type II Improved had removed the multi-barrel cannons that could launch steel storms and replaced them with ion flamethrowers. The flames it spewed could turn an entire building to ashes, making it a typical close combat mech.
It's worth noting that in interstellar warfare, close combat doesn't only refer to melee combat using ion swords but also includes means with a range within a hundred meters, such as ion flamethrowers. This made the Hellfire II Improved a close combat mech, but its performance on the ground was more like 'shoot wherever you point.'
The Orkwei infantry belonged to the standard light infantry in the federal army sequence, lacking heavy firepower. Faced with the mech, they were almost completely suppressed. The artillery they fired was almost useless against the red mech, only some special types of missiles could cause limited damage to it.
If it weren't for Reno's command to intercept as much as possible without killing, Stark could have killed them all.
"Hey, turtles, come on up!" Stark shouted as if in a deserted field.
The two flamethrowers kept swaying, and one after another, flames burned on the ground, turning the nearby area into a sea of fire.
A Predator missile flew low, but before it got close, it was shot down by a laser from afar.
