But his explanation was interrupted.
A voice came on over the communication channel.
"This is Ji Xinghe, I'm here to hold them off."
The more than four hundred Federation Mechas, just as they started their charge, came to a halt once again. Without even needing to look, they could see him behind them, surprisingly unified in controlling their mechas to turn and look back.
Due to the terrain, they couldn't witness the scene they had visualized.
But that voice was so incredibly familiar that they didn't have the slightest doubt about who it was.
Colonel Ji Xinghe... No, it's General Ji Xinghe. He's here?
Engaged in the heat of battle and with their communication partly impaired and controlled from behind, they were unaware of the Peace's landing, uninformed that Ji Xinghe had chosen to participate in the war as soon as possible.
But they did know one thing: if Ji Xinghe said he would hold them off, he undoubtedly would.
"Retreat."
