"Deploy repair bay number two."
Ji Xinghe, still undertaking repair work on Xiazi's mecha, issued another command.
"The deployment coordinates, you all calculate them."
But this time, Ji Xinghe couldn't accomplish the command alone.
"I need four minutes to complete the repairs."
Still in the process of repairing the mecha, he explained in his consistently calm tone.
Those who heard his voice would find it hard to imagine the situation he was facing.
Over two hundred imperial mechas, now less than five minutes away from his position. Given the speed of the mechas, this was actually quite a distance.
The Imperial mechas tracking him used a combination of drones, traces left by the Xinghe Squad, and detection-radar to pinpoint the Xinghe Squad's position in the darkness.
Up to now, the Imperial mechas still hadn't discovered the Xinghe Squad had separated, nor that Ji Xinghe had disarmed his mecha to repair a Federal mecha without adequate protection.
