When the battle at the summit of the Mountain of Gods ended, the news of the Empire mechs' retreat was intercepted by the Federation.
"Head down the mountain."
Yang Antai gave the order without any hesitation. Although he wished to seize the opportunity to find the precise coordinates of the Empire's transition base, he was acutely aware of the adverse effects brought on by the dust storm. In their current deteriorated state, the Federation's mecha forces should not sacrifice further for coordinates that could eventually be determined.
"Once the Independent Regiment recovers, I'll have them search for the precise coordinates of the Empire's transition base at the Mountain of Gods. Additionally, we need to perform more precise analyses on the current visual information obtained and employ further reconnaissance that won't cause unnecessary sacrifices."
This was Yang Antai's explanation, suggestion, and application to the South Sky Gate Command.
