Gu Hang and Wang Qi, this mother and son duo, discussed post-war plans in their conversation. No matter how much they disagreed or how worried Wang Qi was about her son's plans, there was one point they never talked about but took for granted as the premise for everything:
Gu Ming and Nes Luman were as good as dead.
The reason they took this for granted was because neither of them saw it as an issue, but as a certainty.
And reality proved that they were not being blindly arrogant.
After the Phoenix Battle Group and the Allied Air Force executed a beautiful surprise attack, destroying a Knight Titan, the Luman Legion besieging the suburban town collapsed.
It was also fortunate that the Phoenix did not have complete intelligence during the assault, unaware that Gu Ming and Nes Luman were right beside the Knight Titan they destroyed, allowing the two to escape. Otherwise, with the capabilities of the Phoenix, they could have easily slaughtered them on the spot.
