According to Jiesel's report, the enemy's Terminator units number around 100. Along with the captured mechas from our side, the guerrilla units operating in the Takla area have most likely expanded to a battalion's strength in a short amount of time.
Receiving this report, Eluma slammed the table in disbelief. In just a single day, a small enemy force had already traversed 2,000 kilometers to reach Takla. Feng Yi's mixed-attack unit had become a thorn in her side. Today it's a battalion, tomorrow it might be a regiment. And before long, would they aspire to consume an entire brigade or even a division?
She desired to strangle this rogue unit in its cradle, but in truth, she felt powerless. Eluma was stretched thin, like a skillful housewife unable to make a meal without any rice. Although they had successfully taken control of a Sky Eye system on Roland Planet at 17:00 yesterday, our army still didn't have the privileges to use the Sky Network system. Breaking into it wouldn't be easy.
The current whereabouts of the two displaced group army commanders were unknown. As the high-ranking naval commander, she had effortlessly crushed the Freedom Federation's A-level Hell's Gate fleet all the way from Pross, but she never considered that the ground campaign could be so challenging. Was it her hubris getting the better of her…?
More importantly, she once claimed that she would seize Roland Planet with an A-level fleet in just two months. To do this, she had even employed an electromagnetic storm weapon. From a political standpoint, she must seize this opportunity to shine in this battle. Only in this way can she keep the imperial heir at an arm's length.
Two months was also the Freedom Federation's conservative estimate for breaking the electromagnetic weapon. If she managed to take Roland Planet within this timeframe, the two inept princes would pose no threat to her position.
This insignificant star system was never a part of any important strategic battle plan. The lack of backup troops was due to the emperor's high expectations of her.
When the prisoners of war, which initially provided her with a small advantage over the ground forces, turned into unpredictable variables, the best course of action was to get rid of them. Eluma picked out three handsome soldiers with strong bodies and called them to her room. She had heard that a heart stimulant could make men more vigorous, but it often resulted in sudden death after 2 hours. She suddenly had the urge to vent her frustrations.
The next day, a radiant Eluma emerged from her room, looking several years younger, her well-maintained skin more refined. Upon stepping out, she issued an order to execute all prisoners - except those above the rank of school officer.
Meanwhile, plans for reinforcements from Roland Planet were being rolled out among the five allied nations. The Empire's electromagnetic weapon not only threatened the Federation, but also the other allied nations. They were unsure if the Pross alliance also possessed this same technology. It was puzzling why Pross would use such a weapon on a minor star like Roland Planet.
The allies' concluded that Pross must have more than one type of electromagnetic weapon.
Each nation had their own ace up their sleeve. From the Freedom's Federation's Hell's Gate space fissure and Atland Free Federation's man-made black hole, to Diya alliance's stellar transformations and even antimatter, discovering countermeasures against the ghostly electromagnetic weapon wasn't a difficult task. However, a detailed study of the affected parts of the damaged battleship was necessary.
One and a half month after Pross's A-level fleet landed on Roland Planet, Colonel Saros, leading the reinforcement fleet, finally started a counterattack.
The federation dare not send renowned commanders to participate in the battle and instead, chose to command from the rear. This resulted in significant dissatisfaction among the fleet officers. How could a colonel, who had only attended military school for a few years, be competent for this position? What was an A-level fleet to them?
Saros was educated at Golden Sword Academy, and was a rising talent on par with Zi Mou among their peers. However, his inexperience was a cause for concern. Wasn't this the federation's greatest tragedy?
In truth, the Federation, a weak nation, could not boast of many competent commanders. Greedy Wolf was one, but aside from General Annie, who was known for her rapid-fire strategy, and Sheridan, there was no one else on the list of notable generals. These two, despite their unique commanding style, were not true strategic masters.
As for Amelia, she had a long way to go. She was a rare prodigy in the Federation's history, but she was only mediocre compared to others on the World Youth Leaderboard. If anything were to happen to the frontline commander, it could cause drastic changes in the subsequent battles, a step that the Federation dared not take.
Generals such as Angela Augustins, who are known for their ground campaigns, simply did not have the credentials to ascend to the pantheon. In comparison, the federation preferred to bet on promising future prospects.
The era of Greedy Wolf had passed. The deterrent force of this five-star general defending a territory far exceeded him joining the battlefield. The Federation could not wave its golden banner recklessly. Even though Greedy Wolf had requested to join the battle several times, he was always rejected by Adams without reason.
The current era belonged to Amelia, and to countless young heroes. The older generation, like the dazzling stars in the sky, will eventually become dull and disappear, paving the way for the birth of twelve star generals.
At the same time, Adams was looking forward to Feng Yi's performance. Although Feng Yi was a force to be reckoned with, he could never become the leader who dominated the battlefield. He could become a political hero, but he could never cause greater turmoil. A person's past experiences ultimately determined their future trajectory. If time could be rewound, he would have liked to personally entrust the task of cultivating this talent to mentor Lasso.
