Han Li couldn't pursue the two Duke Mechas while also chasing after these imperial Mechas with top-tier combat power.
The ninety Mountain-cutting Mechas of Base Five blocked their path, taking on the most arduous combat mission.
Yet, even with their numerical advantage, the Mountain-cutting Mechas struggled to contain the four Marquis Mechas, resulting in continuous damage.
If too many Mountain-cutting Mechas were lost, the Federation's advantage in Mecha combat power would weaken even further, making the outcome of this battle unpredictable at the moment.
Han Li found himself in a dilemma as well, seeing the same issues from the battlefield that Command Center had identified.
Without new orders, he could only follow the previous command to continue pursuing the two Duke Mechas.
Compared to that, the four Marquis Mechas didn't pose as much lethality as the two Duke Mechas.
That was why Tu Yuan changed the orders.
