After Song Yiqing and Yan Three left, everyone from the mecha clans in Base 013 left quietly too. They had followed Ling Lan from the time she took over the base until now. Since they had worked hard all these while, why couldn"t they continue to persevere for the last part of the journey? Just like what Song Yiqing had said, even if they were to die, they must die spectacularly on the battlefield. It was better than being stuck at the base and feeling like a caged animal.

Soon, everyone left the command center with differing thoughts.

Time pa.s.sed slowly. Outside Base 013, the Hailiyan army was still gathering. There were now more than 50 times the amount of soldiers than how much Base 013 had. Based on their speed on gathering, their numbers would soon become frightening.

The regiment commanders that got motivated by Song Yiqing and Yan Three felt hopeless again when they saw this. The vast difference in military strength wouldn"t allow them to win even if they sent all their mecha operators out.

Even Song Yiqing, Yan Three, soldiers from the 250 Ace Mecha Clan, and Xu Shiming"s scouts team got dumbstruck by the size of Hailiya"s army. They didn"t plan to give Base 013 any chances.

"Are we really unable to wait until the reinforcements arrive?"

When more than 80 times the military strength of Base 013 appeared on the Hailiya"s side, the final war started.

Numerous mecha operators and powerful weapons struck the protective shield of Base 013.

All the soldiers just stared blankly at the protective shield. They were in awe when they saw the beauty of the continuous explosions coming their way.

"d.a.m.n it. We really can"t go out now. If I knew this would happen, I would have gone out long ago. It"s better than waiting for death here." The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan and Evil Wind sat in the mecha hold dejectedly. They wanted to go out long ago. No matter what happened to them, they would try to find someone to go to h.e.l.l with them.

"Beep beep beep! The energy reserves of the protective shield has been depleted by 20%." The continuous attack on the protective shield had already depleted 20% of the energy reserves. If they couldn"t replenish the energy reserves, the protective shield would only be able to last another one to two minutes.

Lin Zhong-qing was at the core of the protective shield. He quickly ordered the well-prepared logisticians, "Replenish the energy reserves."

"Yes!" Multiple logisticians started replenishing energy storage units into the energy belt that was a few thousand meters in length. These were the high-efficiency energy storage units 250 Mecha Clan had transported over when they first came over to Planet Haijiao. Lin Zhong-qing never used them before this occasion because he was preparing for moments like this. Only these high-efficiency energy storage units were able to quickly replenish this enormous energy drainage.

When he saw the energy reserve of the protective shield rising above 90%, Lin Zhong-qing heaved a sigh of relief. They were fighting for time with their enemies. Were their enemies faster in depleting the energy reserves of the protective shield or were they quicker in replenishing its energy reserves?

Li Jinghong and the other leaders led a team of transport logisticians and transported all the energy storage units into the core. They placed the energy storage unit beside the logisticians that were putting the energy storage units into the energy belt. At the same time, they took away all the empty energy storage units.

The work in the core of the protective shield carried on smoothly and orderly, as Lin Zhong-qing had prepared a long time for this battle. All the logisticians who partic.i.p.ated in this mission had one week to practice their roles. They performed drills every day. Now, it was time for the real deal.

Ling Lan stood in the command center and looked at the continuous attacks on the protective shield. She walked to the full-length window and looked up. She could no longer see the blue sky anymore, as flames and smoke filled the sky above her. The sound of explosions could be heard from her office too. The impact of these explosions could be blocked by the protective shield but the people in the base still felt the strong vibrations. This showed how heavily Hailiya was attacking them.

"It seemed like our reinforcements have entered Planet Haijiao"s atmosphere," Ling Lan said.

This could only be the reason why Hailiya was attacking them crazily. They needed to destroy all the Federation"s bases left on Planet Haijiao and make Planet Haijiao theirs before reinforcements could arrive. That way, Hailiya could send out their G.o.d-cla.s.s operators blatantly and destroy the now invaders.

"The firepower is getting stronger. I wonder if Lin Zhong-qing is able to handle it." Li Lanfeng was worried. He hoped that Lin Zhong-qing was able to last for a longer period of time. He also hoped that their reinforcements could come faster.

On the other side, Han Jijyun"s expression was calm and cold like the first winter breeze, but his heart was going through some inner turmoil.

"If the speed of replenishing slows down by 50%, Lin Zhong-qing will report to me." Ling Lan appeared resolute, as she had decided that she would use the amulet her father gave her if that happened.

Han Jijyun and Li Lanfeng got even more worried when they heard this. They knew what this meant. However, they didn"t want Ling Lan to use the amulet General Ling Xiao gave him.

The continuous bombardment continued for 15 more minutes. Hailiya finally realized that the protective shield of Base 013 didn"t have a single dent after all that. Not only that, the glow of the protective shield was as bright as ever. The commander-in-chief of the east zone of Hailiya frowned. From the information he had received, he knew that the remaining bases in the central and west regions were all destroyed. Base 013 was the only base left.

"What are you all doing? Increase the intensity of the attack, We must destroy the protective shield of the base." The commanding officer of the east region got agitated. Up in the air, the fleet from Hailiya had already started fighting with the Federation army. If they couldn"t flatten Base 013, they wouldn"t be able to use their G.o.d-cla.s.s operators.

At this moment, a small starship that was hiding among the stars sneaked through the messy battlefield and closed in on Planet Haijiao.

"Release the miniature satellites." Brain One threw a few miniature satellites out. Then, he controlled the satellite and moved them towards the orbit of Planet Haijiao.

This starship belonged to the Flying Dragon Special Forces. They made use of the chance when Hailiyan fleet was distracted by Qi Yaoyang"s fleet to start their plan.

If they wanted to save the surviving bases, they needed to know where they were.
