Hundreds of cruise missiles whizzed over from the distant horizon. With an irresistible, terrifying power, they smashed into the enemy's base. Following the violent explosion, countless suns rose above the lakeside field at the same time, making the real sun outside the lead clouds even dimmer.
The high temperature represented by the blazing white light instantly evaporated the thick fog that shrouded the battlefield. Beside the remains of the armored vehicles that were blown away, hundreds of clusters of thick smoke spread out ferociously. Countless black dust condensed into clouds that covered the lakeside and blocked everyone's sight.
Accompanied by ear-numbing, terrifying screeching noises, the level-fire dense arrays of the federation and the Imperium opened fire at the same time. Threads of light that were even denser than the heavy rain tore through the air above the lake at a high speed. Tens of thousands of fine red threads of light melted the last remaining fog in the air and landed on the enemy's position.
Every thin light thread was a dense artillery shell. Tens of thousands of artillery shells exploded on the fields around the lake at the same time. It was a spectacular scene with terrifying power!
The black soil at the frontmost area was all blown up by the intense bombardment. Countless miserable holes appeared on the temporary alloy bunker built by the engineering mechas. Even Xu Le and the others, who were standing at the foot of the nameless mountain more than 10 kilometers away, could feel the ground trembling slightly.
From time to time, artillery fire would land on the surface of the lake. Although the probability of the dense artillery fire deviating from its trajectory was not high, because of the high frequency of firing on the battlefield, the lake between the two armies, which was originally as calm as a mirror, began to surge with wave after wave. The water splashed with the mud at the bottom of the lake, and the corpses of countless silver fish that had been shaken to death began to pile up on the shore.
Xiong Linquan and the others stood at the foot of the nameless mountain and silently watched the battlefield through the telescopes in their individual helmets. Their expressions were extremely complicated.
Because of the distance between them and the battlefield, the loud explosions sounded somewhat muffled and soft in their ears. However, they could feel the earth-shaking momentum. They couldn't hear the screams on the battlefield, but they could imagine how many of their comrades were screaming in pain and then dying.
Just as they were lamenting, or perhaps they didn't even have the time to sigh, the Federation and Empire mecha on the battlefield began to charge. Hundreds of the most advanced military mecha in the universe stepped on the soft ground, waving their fire-spitting mechanical arms, and collided with each other like two unstoppable mountain-splitting axes!
Ever since the Federation had successfully developed the MX mecha and the Empire had successfully developed the Wolf Fang mecha, military mecha were no longer synonymous with clumsiness. Instead, they had become terrifying war machines that combined mobility and destructive power perfectly. They had become the main force of direct combat.
In this intergalactic war that lasted for many years, countless MX and Wolf Fang mechas fought fiercely on the surface of dozens of planets. Black and green cold alloy torrents clashed with each other, playing out from time to time.
However, after witnessing this scene of hundreds of mecha charging forward at high speed, the people at the foot of Nameless Peak still felt an unprecedented fear. It was as if they could clearly hear the terrifying sound of those sturdy alloy armors being deformed under the high-speed collisions. It was as if they could hear with their own ears the clicking sound of Darin's rotary cannon firing a rain of bullets.
There were sounds of collisions, shooting, snapping, and explosions.
The sound of drums filled the air.
The sound of war drums.
…
…
The combined forces of the Federation and the Empire's main forces that were battling on the plains by the lake definitely exceeded the number of four combined mecha divisions. As the battle at the straits entered an irreversible end, the southwest war zone that had already been engaged in fierce battles for two months was about to welcome its final victory.
The Federation's reinforcements to the southwest war zone had arrived. The two reserve mecha brigades that the Empire had always held in the palm of their hands had also entered the fray.
The Empire was at a disadvantage in the overall battle. For the next half a year, they would have to shrink back and maintain a defensive posture. They would definitely do whatever it took to protect the southwest region, which had important military mineral resources and could be used to guard the route to the north.
What was puzzling was that the Federation military had displayed an extremely resolute attitude in this battle. It was definitely not as simple as just helping the frontline troops retreat.
The members at the foot of Nameless Peak naturally didn't know the strategic significance of this battle to the Federation due to their position.
They only looked at the terrifying front of the battlefield and thought of the battle yesterday. They felt some lingering fear, but they also felt lucky. At that time, if they had shaken off just a little slower, the Empire's vanguard battalion would have all come over. They definitely wouldn't have survived.
The mood of the members was somewhat gloomy, eerily gloomy — right now, they should be burning with passion, joining their own troops to attack the Empire's enemies. However, right now, they could only stand at an extremely far distance and watch silently, like bystanders.
"Let's leave before we are discovered."
Xu Le retracted his gaze and said to the members, "Adjust our previous route. Walk into the fog. Wherever there is fog, we will walk there. Try to go as deep as possible."
The lonely spectators quietly left Nameless Peak and turned back to dive into the remaining thick fog at the southern foot of the mountain. They walked in the fog, silently walking. They didn't know where to go. They only knew that the further away they were from the battlefield, the better.
However, on this vast continent of the Ink Flower Planet, from the beginning of the third year onwards, green mountains and clear waters were everywhere. How could they hide?
…
…
"Designation."
"Reconnaissance Battalion of the 11th Division."
"Who's the battalion commander?"
Xiong Linquan turned back to look at Dongfang Yu. Dongfang Yu mouthed a name. He raised an eyebrow, somewhat in disbelief, and replied hesitantly, "Bandits of the Southern Mountains?"
Dongfang Yu sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, Your eyesight is really too bad. How could you really think of the Southern Mountains as bandits of the Southern Mountains?
At the other end of the fog, a narrow path could be vaguely seen between two boulders. At the other end of the path, the Federation soldier asked in a low voice, "Why is there no authentication signal?"
Walking in the fog, it was very difficult to see anything more than ten meters away. In order to prevent the signal from leaking out, Xiong Linquan had ordered the members to turn off all surveillance equipment. There was simply no way to predict what kind of situation they would encounter. Thus, they were extremely unlucky to have run into this Federation soldier who was either alone or on sentry duty.
Fortunately, when they were hurrying along earlier, Dongfang Yu had told a dirty joke in the Federation language in order to mock Xu Le's lack of discipline. Otherwise, the team would have very likely been shot in the back by the other party.
When he thought of this, Xiong Linquan felt some lingering fear. Unable to answer the other party's question about the lack of authentication caused his mood to become even heavier.
He gripped the heavy rifle in his hand tightly and turned back to look sternly at the team members who had already entered combat position. He slowly opened his right hand, extended two fingers, and made a horizontal stroke.
The mountain cannon and the beads disappeared into the fog like ghosts. What made Xiong Linquan feel slightly relieved was that Xu Le had already disappeared ahead of time.
A few muffled sounds came from the rocky path at the other end of the fog.
Xu Le withdrew his palm and crouched beside the two knocked out Federation soldiers. He pulled out the audio cable in the soldiers' helmets and connected it to his own military backpack. After listening silently for a moment, he said, "We're lucky.
There are two sentry posts. They should be the tail of a certain unit. They haven't reported the situation in time, so we have a chance to slip away. "
Using the thick fog, they set off again. Because they were too close to the Federation's reconnaissance company, the team members didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They just silently looked at the blurry figures on the other side of the fog with a somewhat strange expression on their faces.
On the other side was their own unit. They were right beside them but couldn't see them. This was like a wanderer who saw the door but couldn't walk in. They could only quietly pass by like this.
Or rather, pass by.
…
…
At some point in time, the team had walked out of the thickest fog. Mountain Pao turned back to take a look. When he thought of the Federation's troops that had brushed past him, his expression was a little downcast. Beside him, Monkey lowered his head and wiped his eyes.
Xiong Linquan's expression was also very ugly. What he was most worried about now was that the team's supplies were seriously insufficient and they didn't have much ammunition left. After walking out of the fog area and then out of the electronic cloud screen, the team would definitely encounter more dangers. What should they do when the time came?
The only thing he could comfort himself with was that this place wasn't far from Camp No. 1. As long as Old Gu, who had used three years to feed himself into a fat pig, was still alive, he would definitely have a lot of good stuff hidden away.
Xu Le looked at the expression on his face and comforted him. "We all know Old Gu's personality. He's still alive even if anyone dies."
"That's true." Xiong Linquan shook his head and laughed lightly. "Back then, he followed you into Charter Square. Among the old guys, he was the only one who didn't run away. But he was also the first to surrender."
…
…
"You killed an official of the investigation team. Even if you surrender, you'll still die. Then why should I surrender? Our biggest problem now is why are you so f * cking heavy? You've clearly lost so much blood, so why are you still so f * cking heavy?! "
Gu Xifeng, who had been in the New 17th Division's cooking squad for three years, was obviously fatter than before. At this moment, he was madly running through the dense forest.
Unfortunately, his madly running only had attitude but not speed. His round and thick legs were almost unable to move. Large beads of sweat dripped down his face from time to time, but he was still unable to shake off the pursuers and gunshots behind him.
Da Vinci, whose face was pale, weakly said from behind, "F * ck, trash is trash. Am I as heavy as you? You hide in the cooking squad and eat wild boar's feet every day. You're not afraid of the HTD Bureau in the Empire's territory. I asked you to give me two, but you didn't want to. "
Gu Xifeng panted heavily and angrily said in a trembling voice, "Who's the trash? You should've just died. You had to come to me with your hands on your intestines. In the end, you attracted a bunch of trash and caused the deaths of my boys. "
"You still have the mood to rhyme leisurely. Don't you know how to use your strength on your legs?!"
Da Vinci anxiously scolded. "I've said before, don't always play with circuits. You also need to train your physical strength. Look at the old guys, who's as f * cking weak as you?"
Gunshots rang out from behind the forest again. The white bark of the tree beside him flew, but Da Vinci did not seem to see it at all. He continued to angrily criticize, "It's because the boss and Old White spoiled you too much that we ended up in this situation!"
"Nonsense …"
Gu Xifeng panted and retorted. However, before he could finish the second half of his sentence, he was forcefully pushed down from behind by Da Vinci, and he fell heavily onto the grass.
A rocket came from the forest, and after the explosion, the grass was dyed with blood. It was as beautiful as dusk.

(The third chapter was written the most delightfully. Comrades are not alone if they can be together, so the name "Lone Army" ends here.
