As expected, the Independent Group didn't hesitate to pivot once again, rushing headlong towards the First Mech Corps.
The prepared Second Mech Corps immediately began rallying and shifting its direction, again pursuing the Independent Group.
Three Mech Corps with a total of seven hundred and four machines, maneuvering and charging within the gorge like a game of drop the handkerchief, left everyone at the Western War Zone Command dumbstruck.

Ji Xinghe was the first to know about the actions of the First Mech Corps, but he, who was in a quandary, was much more composed than the bystanders at the command centre. He seemed nonplussed.
