The Li Consortium was really unlucky. Even with a hidden trump card like the nanomachines, they were unable to use it to maximum effect.
The Li Consortium lacked war experience, which resulted in some mistakes on the usage of the nanomachines. As Qing Zhen had mentioned before, combat troops like the nanosoldiers who possessed great strength and mobility should be deployed separately so that they could infiltrate the enemy's rear and carry out precision strikes.
For example, they could execute attacks on the enemies' power stations and arsenals or perform decapitation strikes. They should have used the Divine Arms Battalion separately so that the nanosoldiers would be more effective in their might.
