Under Fesili’s command, the task force moved with speed. Fesili kept a constant watch on the dynamics of every battlefield, ready to redeploy forces the moment he detected a crisis in any sector. Thanks to his cool-headed leadership, the Chinese Empire's military managed to barely steady their footing in this grueling battle.
The fighting lasted for a full month, continuing day and night without a single respite. The soldiers were pushed to the brink of exhaustion, their eyes bloodshot and their faces etched with fatigue. Fighting on the front lines every day, they had no time to eat, sustaining themselves entirely on nutrient fluid. Their sleep was never sound; they had to keep their ears alert at all times, fearing a sneak attack by the Zerg or the Diluo Empire.
Many soldiers were wounded. Those with minor injuries would simply bind them up, grit their teeth, and continue the fight; there was no time to send them back to the treatment pods. The severely wounded were carried off the battlefield and placed into treatment pods just to keep them alive. Even in critical condition, they still fretted over their brothers on the front lines. Everyone knew how important this battle was; despite the exhaustion and the constant danger of losing their lives, not a single person deserted.
