Mecha and Knife

Trident's mercenary mech corps was wiped out.

This made Sophia, who was in the Nantianmen space station, feel so much hatred and fear that her whole body trembled.

There are more than 400 mechas, as well as various equipment and personnel to cooperate with the battle.

Even if these mechas are almost all regular-grade standard mechas, based on their company's purchase price from the military, the average unit price is more than 100 million.

There are also more than 400 high-paid mercenaries and other personnel, and the cost is also very high.

The salary that has been given before, the super high pension in the agreement, the loss of so many personnel and equipment transported to alien planets and living, training, and so on.

Hundreds of billions of funds just disappeared.

This is not the operation of assets, but the cash flow that has actually been delivered. What kind of company can afford such a huge loss?

Sophia regretted it very much. When Ji Xinghe asked Jackson's family to invest in the acquisition of Trident Security Company, she should not have refused by all means, but should have facilitated this transaction.

Earn more or less, how can you lose everything like now?

When the communication application came, Sophia became even more frightened. She felt that her fate, after this communication was over, would not be much different from those Trident mercenaries who died in the Second Canyon.

But when the communication ended, there was a glimmer of hope and determination in her eyes.

She contacted another mercenary group that was still in the second canyon. Due to the location at that time, the mercenary group did not suffer much losses, and still had enough combat power, and it was far from the time when Ji Xinghe defeated the two Duke armors. The location is very close.

"Those two Dukes, we want those two Dukes, as long as you can send those two Dukes to our spaceship, we will give you a satisfactory reward."

"Are you crazy?"

The commander of another mercenary regiment was extremely shocked: "That is the Duke Armor defeated by General Ji. It is the spoils of the independent regiment and the second war zone. Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

When Sophia heard this, her eyes became more determined.

"I am very clear about the consequences of doing this, and you are equally aware of it. So, as long as you hand over the two Dukes to us, you don't need to bear the most serious consequences. As for what you need to bear for doing this The price, I think, our reward will satisfy you."

The commander of another mercenary regiment hesitated. He needed to weigh the consequences of doing something and the compensation that Trident could pay, whether it was a profit or a loss.

Sophia continued to persuade.

"Haven't you seen it? They just want us to die, they just want to use you as cannon fodder, and they want to seek benefits by participating in the war on the alien battlefield, unless people like Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan are all dead. Otherwise If so, all the wars we experience in the future will be the same as today, how long do you think you can hold on?"

This woman is really crazy, she dared to curse Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan.

The commander thought in his heart that if he recorded this passage and spread it out, there would be no need for Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan to express their attitudes, and Sophia's fate would become extremely miserable.

But after thinking about it, what Sophia said was not unreasonable.

As a commander, he is very clear why the mercenary group failed today. There are many reasons:

For example, the mercenary regiment is a group of stragglers who are useless.

For example, Prince A of the empire was defeated by Ji Xinghe a lot, and Duke A did not know how many. These achievements have made many people forget that five years ago, the Marquis of the Empire could hunt and kill the Federation's ace mecha fighters, or even close to the ace mecha fighters on the battlefield.

Of course, the Marquis A at that time was driven by a real Marquis of the Empire, and those who dared to participate in the battle were the imperial aristocratic orangutans with aura, such as Kazeman. The average combat effectiveness far exceeds those of the Marquis Armor of the Anti-Galaxy Corps.

For another example, the information was not clear enough, and the mercenary regiments never expected that there would be a battle force of the level of a Prince A and six Duke A in the second canyon.

Among other reasons, if you really want to find out about Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan, you will definitely be able to find more than one to support what Sophia said.

"There is one thing I think I need to tell you." Sophia continued: "After Ji Xinghe ended the battle in the Gods Mountain, Tu Yuan wanted to prevent him from supporting you, because Tu Yuan believed that the independent regiment needed Ji Xinghe's support even more. But the facts have proved that without Ji Xinghe, the independent regiment can win, but without Ji Xinghe, you will definitely be wiped out, and you will all die."

The commander was shocked again: "What you said is true?"

"of course it's true."

The commander finally confirmed Sophia's judgment, but he was only half sure. People like Tu Yuan were indeed the stumbling block for the mercenary group to grow and gain the most benefits.

But Ji Xinghe's words...

"As you said, General Ji chose to support us, so we were not wiped out. Therefore, I cannot agree to your request."

Sophia was not surprised. She knew Ji Xinghe's prestige in the Federation very well, and she also knew the influence Ji Xinghe had in front of Federation soldiers, or those who used to be Federation soldiers.

So she settles for the next best thing.

"In this way, you arrange people to take the two Duke A to the No. 6 base, and when they arrive at a certain coordinate, my people will complete the pick-up with you. It is as if you have given us the task of escorting the spoils of war. "

The commander frowned: "Which coordinate?"

After Sophia gave a coordinate, the commander was shocked again.

"You still want the Marquises that the Independence Group defeated before? Sophia, are you crazy? Are you all crazy?"

"It's not that we're crazy, it's our only chance to survive, to survive as before."

Sophia's tone was a bit weird, to the Commander, it sounded like an evil and stupid witch in a movie.

He also heard Sophia's subtext. If she and the group of people behind her can't live like before, it's no different from death. And this kind of person always wants to pull some backs before dying.

If you refuse her reward, you will bear her revenge.

Is he going to be the one who gives Sofia a back?

He did not want.

"Have you ever thought about how General Ji will react?" The commander finally persuaded: "If there are only two Dukes, I think he should be very generous. After all, you can pay more than the value of the two Dukes." The price of those marquises defeated by the independent regiment...he can't give up, even if you have the support of some people in the army."

"Haven't you ever thought about how powerful Ji Xinghe will be after getting so many Marquis A, Duke A, and Prince A? How many people will be afraid of him?" Sophia made the final explanation: "Besides, the dragon There is a saying in Zhou that a gentleman can deceive you. Ji Xinghe gave up supporting the independent group in order to save you. Although it turned out that he had the confidence to do so, it also showed that he had the kindness of a woman in his heart. The consequences? We can bear it."

After hesitating for a moment, the commander finally nodded.

"When we send the two Dukes to that coordinate, you'd better get authorization to take over the escort mission."

"good."

When Sophia responded triumphantly, she also laughed in her heart: Ji Xinghe? He is already in danger of protecting himself.

——

Ji Xinghe drove the Prince A of Zhendong King, and after defeating the two Duke A, he passed through the second canyon directly, and his destination was the No. 6 base.

He did not continue to participate in the battle, nor did he search for the precise coordinates of the jump base, because of Li Zhengfan's news and suggestions.

"I told the news to the two sons of Zhendong King. Of course, I also showed the picture of you killing Zhennan King and Zhendong King successively. They both chose In order to reveal the precise coordinates of the Empire’s jump base, the coordinate information of all entrances and exits is now under our control.”

Li Zhengfan expressed his thoughts in a somewhat excited tone.

"But I don't recommend that we launch an attack right now. The leap gate can transfer a large number of troops from the Empire Star at any time. If we act rashly when we are not in good condition, there is a high possibility of serious damage.

My suggestion is to let the mercenary group continue to participate in the battle, and let them clean up the remaining imperial forces in the second canyon, and test out how much defense force the empire's jump base still has. Now all the members of the independent regiment are back for repairs, and you also have to come back immediately. We can't guarantee that Emperor Wudi III won't let his royal guard battalion suddenly join the battle. "

Judging from these words, Sophia believes that Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan are far more than the two people who hinder the mercenary group from seeking benefits. In a sense, Li Zhengfan is more "vicious" than Tu Yuan.

At any rate, Tu Yuan still has some cover-ups. His suggestion is really undisguised to let the mercenary group be used as cannon fodder.

There is nothing impossible for Ji Xinghe.

"Just do as you say."

"good."

Li Zhengfan quickly issued an order.

There is no need to mention the return of the independent regiment, and there is nothing to say about the capture and recovery in this battle. With the influence of dust storms, even if the empire has endless missiles, it will not be able to affect these two points.

The empire doesn't even know where the independent regiment is now, nor does it know where their 'legion-level' troops are now after they have surrendered, and what kind of state they are in.

As for the mercenary regiment, because of the sudden appearance of Ji Xinghe, they also regrouped by beheading the Emperor Zhendong King. They accepted the order of the Second Theater Command very cooperatively and began to sweep the Second Canyon with a clean-up attitude.

Base No. 6, from desperate to anxious to cheering, also sent a large number of people to the second canyon to recover the imperial mechs that were previously destroyed by the independent regiment, as well as various weapons and equipment. At the same time, they arranged and repaired a large number of Detecting Eyes and Communication Matrix.

The relevant resources are all coordinated and transported by Nantianmen. After it has been confirmed that there is an empire transition base in the second canyon, these resources are really the second theater.

It is also not necessary, and there is a large number of additional troops.

This is a good thing, but also a problem. That's why Li Zhengfan suggested that all members of Ji Xinghe and the independent regiment should return to recuperate in order to cope with unforeseen needs.

With the storm looming, Ji Xinghe, who had just returned to Base No. 6, received a piece of news that surprised him.

"Can you say that again."

Liu Mian also looked surprised, but repeated in a calm tone: "The remnants of the mercenary regiment of the Trident Security Company transported our two Dukes and 127 Marquises to their spaceships. Now, the spaceship of the Trident Security Company has taken off from the Second Canyon, and its heading...is not our base."

Ji Xinghe was still surprised when he heard the news for the second time.

He thought that after Xingyue took action, he would encounter a lot of trouble. And after this battle, it is impossible for the federal government and the military to sit back and watch his independent regiment use all the captured spoils for their own use.

In the second theater alone, more than 600 Marquis Armors of the Empire were destroyed and captured. This is equivalent to the spoils of the standard configuration of two independent regiments.

If all of them were given to the Independent Regiment, there would be no need to count the combat power that the seven Prince Armors and the quite a few Duke Armors could add to the Independent Regiment. The other four independent regiments of the Federation join forces, plus a regular mech army, it is impossible to be the opponent of the independent regiment, and Ji Xinghe is not even needed to participate in the battle.

But Ji Xinghe never expected that the first to make a move would be Trident Security Company.

Li Zhengfan said coldly from the side: "This is a temptation, we must give them the strongest response, otherwise..."

Of course Ji Xinghe knew this, so after being surprised, he asked softly in a tone so calm that Li Zhengfan felt a little scared: "Where is Ping An now?"

Liu Mian replied subconsciously: "It is returning to the voyage, and it will arrive at the base in about five minutes."

Li Zhengfan, who had already thought about what Ji Xinghe was going to do, stretched out his hand as if he wasn't the one who said to give a strong response, "Old man, let's..."

Ji Xinghe's order has been issued.

"Let Xie Rui go and capture that spaceship for me. If you can't capture it, destroy it on the spot."

Liu Mian was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize why Li Zhengfan's attitude changed suddenly.

this……

"En?" Ji Xinghe frowned slightly.

Liu Mian responded immediately: "Yes!"

Then he delivered the order on the spot, seeing that he couldn't stop him anymore, Li Zhengfan sighed helplessly in his heart.

Two questions suddenly appeared in his mind:

If it were Li Yuanba here, would he be able to stop him?

If Li Anbang is here, can he be stopped?

Maybe it was possible before, but now it can't be stopped, and no one can stop it.

Li Zhengfan answered these two questions in his heart, looking at Ji Xinghe's mechanical eyes, he had complex emotions like human eyes.
