At the foot of the B72 highland, the four Empire Mechas charging towards the mountain changed their direction without hesitation as soon as they realized they had become Ji Xinghe's targets.
They turned tail and ran.
They literally turned tail and ran, abandoning the thought of continuing up the mountain or blocking Ji Xinghe's way.
Theoretically, while Ji Xinghe was being pursued by twelve Empire Mechas, these four Mechas could have had a good chance of holding Ji Xinghe back if they dared to fight to the death.
Mountain-cutting is not a General Mecha, they shouldn't be scared to such an extent.
When Harris piloted the Mountain-cutting, the conventional level Empire Mechas never hesitated to charge forward fearlessly, bent on killing Harris on the spot.
But when the pilot of Mountain-cutting was Ji Xinghe of the Federation, how could they not be terrified?
