In the midst of hesitation, the King of the East also spotted Ji Rongxinyue. He felt both shocked and delighted internally, then issued a command.
"Immediately deploy communication jamming devices and kill Ji Rongxinyue!"
The Imperial Mecha Force that received the order, even if the commanders were still hesitant, had no choice but to charge forward.
Leading the charge were three hundred Marquis Mechas forming the Anti-Xinghe Corps, which hadn't sustained any damage during the previous march. The remaining one thousand two hundred and seventy-nine Imperial Mechas chose to flank to either side of Ji Rongxinyue, either intercepting the Independent Group expected to appear behind Ji Rongxinyue or blocking Ji Rongxinyue's retreat.
A very standard tactic.
The reaction of the 'two' Ji Rongxinyues, however, was very abnormal. Upon clearly seeing the Imperial Mechas initiating their charge, they surprisingly stayed put.
Neither advancing nor retreating.
