"Sir. Team Alpha is receiving heavy fire, and requesting reinforcement."
"Send drones to back them up, and send team Echo and Foxtrot as reinforcement."
"Yes, sir."
The fight between Wedge men and Li Fang Army are in a stalemate, Li fang uses air superiority to halt the movement of the Grand Army, even with the help of drones fighter jets are superior in air attack the best the drones can do is prevent the jet fighter from coming too close to the main army. And to prevent missiles from hitting the army on the ground.
For the first time, the grand army finds itself in a defensive position. Unfortunately, the artillery range is not enough to reach the Li Fang Airport in the far back of his base.
But wedge wasn't worried, for he hasn't used the swarm yet. He has two swarm drones and each swarm has 100k mini drones, he didn't send it, yet he was still waiting for the right time.
Besides, he was still waiting for the droid reinforcement and more soldiers from Base Camp.
....
"Report!"
"General, the first, second, and third battalion is engaging the enemies. And successfully stop the enemy's advances."
"Sheng, what do make of this?"
"General, our enemies are still holding back on us. Based on our report they still have a droid army that is still on standby."
"They should be waiting for the right time to used them probably when we have exhausted our strength." Said General Li.
"Sheng began to contemplate. I wonder if they are holding back because of the existence of Death Valley."
"What do you mean Sheng?" Ask Li Fang.
"General from the way I see it our enemy is stronger than us by several points there's no need for them to hold back when they can overpower us if they want to. I just received a report that Dragko and Jack are already been defeated as for Queen I think it's only a matter of time before she falls. In fact, maybe she already has fallen as well as all routes to her based is in tight lockdown and our men are unable to get any Intel in there."
"So in other words we are the last one standing." Said Li Fang.
"Well, there's no surprise there as our forces are superior to all three of them combined the only reason we didn't completely take over Enigma city is that there no need to do so as the three of them have their own uses..." Said Sheng.
"Well I agree with you on Jack as that punk is nothing but a thug, but Queen and Dragko are different. Fighting them is not going to be easy as even though we will win in the end the damage will be enough to weaken us and have our true enemies take advantage of it. Especially Dragko his mecha is quite strong. And we don't have anything that can stop that. As for that Queen don't underestimate a special agent from any of the Superpower in Space." Said, General Li.
"I'm not General, but I stand by my words even if those three combined their power they will still no match for us. Yes, we will suffer as well but the fact remains we are still superior to them. And that Mecha of Dragko. I don't believe it can operate for a long time during the battle at most regarding its size 3 to 5 hours, and it will run out of power and when it does destroying it will be a piece of cake. Queen is more troublesome her fanatics and her poison bombs can do a lot of damage for us if they were not careful but with adequate preparation, they can be taken down relatively easily. I have all their data in my head I've long since made preparation to deal with them if needed."
Li Fang just looks at Sheng and chuckled he knew Sheng was telling the truth, with the right strategy even the strongest force can be taken down easily. And Sheng excel in creating strategy against his enemies, the only problem is that in order to create strategy information about themselves and their enemies is required to formulate the right plan. Without any of those two, there's no good strategy to be made.
That's why Sheng is frustrated as he doesn't have any proper Intel regarding their current enemy. And because of that, he can't make any proper strategy.
"As I was saying, General, maybe our enemy knew the existence of Death Valley, because of that they don't want us to be too desperate and have our forces entered Death Valley where they don't want us to go. Because they don't want to pursue us in the place they have no control over."
Li Fang contemplates, what Sheng said hold merit. "Can we use it? Can we use this information against our enemies?"
"If I'm right we surely can General. If I'm right no matter how much we attack they will not use excessive force against us."
"And if you're wrong?"
"Then we will lose a lot of men and probably have to retreat into Death Valley by force." Said Sheng in a straight face.
"I see. It's a good plan if you're right we can gain a good Intel about our enemy as well us take out a bit if their forces. But if we're mistaken the price is quite heavy."
"Not at all General."
"What do you mean Sheng?"
"General in this fight we're already at disadvantage, whether we risk it or not it's only a matter of time before we lose a lot of men, even if we enter Death Valley this early there's no guaranty many of us will survive the Death Valley in fact base on what you told me, it may very well be a suicide to enter Death Valley."
"Very well, I agree ill give you full control of the Army." Said Li Fang.
"Alright General."
"Order all battalion to prepare for all-out combat. We will attack in 30 minutes." Ordered Sheng.
"Yes, sir."
