The Imperial Mech Corps retreated like a receding tide, abandoning Pumpka's mecha and corpse.
Logically, they should have tried to reclaim them, as both Pumpka's mecha and his corpse held immense value.
But they feared Ji Xinghe might not be so considerate.
Cheers erupt from the communication channel. A hundred and sixty Federation mechas stormed forward, quickly establishing a protective circle around Han Li's mecha.
If the Empire chose to initiate a long-range attack at this point, these Federation mechas would spare no cost to ensure Han Li's safety.
"Retreat."
Han Li's voice echoed in the communication channel, not sounding weary but rather spirited.
The cheers were suppressed. Everyone, full of excitement, gathered around Han Li and began retreating towards the B72 high ground.
Transport vehicles raced over. With the help of the mechas, they loaded both Pumpka's mecha and corpse, not leaving behind any high-value weapons.
