From the treetop on a high slope, Luo Yan held a pair of binoculars and watched the distance.
Through the binoculars, he saw a stretch of high ground with defensive gun emplacements and armored vehicles deployed across it, controlling the highway below.
Lowering his gaze, he could see Freedom Wings' Supply Base in the mountains.
The base was fairly large and fully equipped. Like White Rock Fortress, it had originally belonged to Cherno Fortress.
Later, after it was no longer used, Freedom Wings got it practically for free.
Freedom Wings had restored the base's power and opened two highways: one leading to the mountain-ring highway controlled by White Rock Fortress, and the other heading directly to Blagoveshchensk through a tunnel.
At that moment, Luo Yan could see through the binoculars that people were coming and going inside the base, while vehicles entered and left. It was a lively scene.
There were also several mecha patrolling the area.
Luo Yan lowered the binoculars as information about the base flashed through his mind.
Freedom Wings had stationed an army of roughly five hundred soldiers at the Supply Base, along with a Mecha Squad.
It was a standard squad consisting of one Great Knight mecha and four Knight-class machines, enough to handle ordinary situations.
With such forces, the Heavenly Fire Squad could naturally take the base with ease.
But if they did that, the fighting would certainly damage the supplies inside the base.
Therefore, while on the way here, Luo Yan had already decided to use another method to capture the base.
He climbed down from the tree and returned to the mecha transport vehicle. Picking up the walkie-talkie, he said, "Begin the operation."
On a mountain highway still some distance from the base, the cargo compartments of several mecha transport vehicles opened.
