Huang Zhennan and Jia Erjia originally did not get along. This time, they were pushed together and their conversation teetered on the edge of a heated dispute. Instructor Liu and the experienced soldiers around watched helplessly, unsure of what to do. However, Feng Yi's suggestion illuminated the situation for them all.

He proposed a compromise plan. Now, as the night was just beginning, there was still plenty of time. The soldiers, after a day of hard fighting, were far from ready to sleep. If they were to sleep now and awake at 1 AM, it would be eight hours later—the most peaceful time for the human body's internal clock to be asleep.

Attacking at the opportune time when the enemy is unaware is the best strategy. Not only would this allow the soldiers ample rest, but it would also take the Empire soldiers by surprise—an excellent two-birds-one-stone strategy.

Huang Zhennan clapped his hands, saying few words, "Communicator, bring up the wine."

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant," praised Jia Erjia, patting his bloated belly and thumbs up, "Feng Yi, had you arrived two years earlier, I suspect my position would be in danger."

Feng Yi responded, "I will still need the old commander to promote me more in the future."

A roar of laughter echoed from the crowd...

Within a living cabin of the Purus Empire fleet, Eluma had no appetite to eat dinner, worried about the unknown factors riddling the planet. Questions, like bombs, rested heavily in her thoughts.

After all, capturing a planet was not easy, clearing the ground troops was a slow process, and if their opponents had a few more forces of that caliber, the ground battle would become even more challenging.

To clear obstacles, Eluma wished she could turn the Roland Planet upside down. The search continued until 9 PM. As for her, it was already past midnight by the time she finally lay down on her bed, rubbing her tired eyes.

Shortly after she had gone to bed, a team of a hundred men had begun to move silently...

This mixed-training team moved swiftly and silently, blending into the nature around them, all with a single target—not to conduct a night raid on a company, not to clear a field camp, but to ambush a battalion-level combat unit 120 kilometers away.

Under Eggy's guidance, the information on this combat unit was exposed. Led by Huang Zhennan, Jia Erjia, and Feng Yi, three separate teams took their positions 5000 meters outside the encampment, fearful that any further encroachment would expose them.

As they were well aware, the detection scanner's range was typically around 2000 meters, any further affected by the mecha's camouflage. However, the encampment's information system's scanning distance was quite beyond that. As a result, they kept a safe distance of 5000 meters.

For a mecha, 5000 meters could be covered in half a minute. If speed was pushed to its limit, it would take around 20 seconds.

They waited for 30 minutes. "Brothers, let's get these sons of bitches," roared Huang Zhennan, the highest-ranking commander. At 2 AM sharp, the team attacked the enemy's battalion from three different directions, moving like unleashed wild horses.

Thinking of those who had died at the hands of the Purus Empire, the soldiers could no longer suppress their anger. Swearing incessantly, a fire of honor roared within their hearts.

The guards on duty were the first ones to be knocked down. The vast battalion was instantly shelled. In the chaos, no one noticed a small force quietly infiltrating the POW camp attempting to save more comrades. No one realized that the death of the Purus soldiers, who rushed out of their units, did not result from the intense artillery fire but ended up under concentrated gunfire.

Ordinarily, a 30-person team wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against a 300-500 man combat battalion. But when you take the right actions at the right time and have mecha to support, the odds aren't that grim anymore. The only thing to worry about was to stop the Empire soldiers from boarding their mechas.

Meanwhile, alongside the air raid alarm, a voice proclaiming "surrender and you won't be killed" rang out to the ears of the Purus soldiers. Initially, some attempted to resist, driven by a survival instinct amid life-or-death situations. But hearing the surrender proclamation, many Purus soldiers, faced with the hopelessness of their situation, dropped their mecha control magnetic cards...

In truth, this was an integral component of their fight strategy—the team was too weak to compete with the enemy forces. They had to save more POWs and equip them with the mechas in order to strengthen their team.

Within fifteen short minutes, over half of the 195 POWs, who were clear on the combat plan, had boarded the Purus Empire mechas. The POWs couldn't believe it– they, who had been fighting on the frontlines only days ago, had been locked in confinement for days, and were now given a new lease on life?

Detesting the inhumane actions of the Purus soldiers, the POWs' first thought when they boarded the mechas was to want to crush these bastards. But they refrained. The one thing holding them back was, "The life is yours. Your brothers will follow you from now on." The moment the order was given to the POWs that they were to stop attacking this group of defenseless people, they clenched their teeth, and let go of the trigger they had been ready to pull.

At least at this moment, the Federation soldiers still maintained the bottom line of being soldiers. Since the opponents had given up their mechas and lost their troops, they could no longer disrupt the battle situation in the Roland Star in the short term; you can say that people are power, but the number of mechas remain the same.

In total, it took no more than 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes later, the near 300-strong team vanished into the darkness after destroying all the combat materials in the battalion.

Just as Eluma was deep in sleep, she was jolted awake by an urgent Heavenly Communication. The frontline combat battalion led by Colonel Jiesel had been raided and abandoned within just 15 minutes. The enemy was riding the Purus main battle mecha, the Terminator. Upon hearing the news, Eluma sat up in bed, ordering Jiesel to keep the news under wraps completely, or else he could end up in a military court.
