The Mountain Ascent Operation officially commenced after not a single Federal mecha began its climb.
Initially set on letting Ji Xinghe fight alone, Ivanovic issued the corresponding orders without hesitation.
Over twelve thousand Federal mechas, along with matching troop units, surged toward the battlefield the three Independent Groups were about to arrive at.
Both sides had already initiated long-range firepower attacks in advance, but for combat forces like mechas, the impact of long-range firepower couldn't merely be described as "a drop in the ocean," but perhaps more aptly as "a bucket in the ocean."
Because when the abrupt battle officially broke out, twelve additional Imperial space battleships successfully launched from the Mountain of Gods.
Their target wasn't Ji Xinghe, but the threat they posed to the Federation was far greater.
