"Withdraw! The mechs, fire all stored ammunition! Full retreat!"
"Liquid Metal Warriors, withdraw in shifts!"
"All unmanned mechs and combat aircraft, launch a full-scale attack! Buy time for the mech legions and Liquid Metal Warriors to withdraw!"
Although Silard had ordered a retreat, the general staff swiftly arranged the withdrawal.
Orders were issued one after another. All unmanned mechs and drone fighter squadrons began attacking madly, with many even self-destructing to disrupt the Tianli Sect martial artists' rhythm.
The Mechanical Empire's military-style management meant that even in retreat, everything remained orderly and methodical.
"They're trying to flee! Press forward across the board! We cannot let them withdraw!"
Tianli Sect Master Mu Cangming immediately noticed the Mechanical Empire's movements. He shouted loudly, his voice like rolling thunder that shook the land for thousands of miles. Every Tianli Sect martial artist heard him clearly.
"The Mechanical Empire is about to lose! Kill them! Don't let these bastards get away!"
"Brothers, kill! Wipe them all out!"
Hearing their sect master's voice, the Tianli Sect martial artists' fighting spirit instantly surged. They erupted with wild force, unleashing all manner of attacks and clinging tightly to the Mechanical Empire's forces, refusing to let them retreat easily.
"What's going on? The Mechanical Empire had been holding the advantage all along. Why were they suddenly retreating?"
"Who knows? Maybe they thought continuing the fight would gain them nothing!"
"The Tianli Sect is still formidable! They actually fought the Mechanical Empire to this extent and forced them to retreat. Worthy indeed of the Tianli Sword Domain's foremost sect! Mu Cangming had been in seclusion all this time—I never expected him to come as well. I'd say he has already advanced to the fifth realm!"
