Chapter 20

Hugh had ten minutes left to build up his defense. Hitting level 3 on the command post had unlocked new build options, but what should he choose? Taking a step back, he reviewed the current battle status. A few cursory questions to Tran and Cartwright about the airfield and port went unanswered, the information likely restricted. The decision on what to do next was his alone.

Current Battle Information:

He had a couple of paths to take. The most obvious would be to continue what he was doing, upgrading the barracks and mech factories while maxing out his unit cap by producing the most powerful land units he could. Another option would be to venture into either air or sea units. He didn’t know how powerful or impactful the units would be, but those paths hinted at the ability to finally have a way to get eyes on the enemy forces. Taking a risk, Hugh decided on going for the airfield.

The aircraft the GCA would allow was unknown; he hadn’t seen any in the previous battles he had witnessed, so this would be new ground for him. He was hopeful the Krixnas war core had limited experience with aircraft. His opponent had completed an entire training program, but did that include naval and air units? He would find out soon enough. His resources were climbing well over four hundred and should hit the five hundred necessary to begin construction shortly.

While he waited, Hugh made sure his construction drones were on the proper tasks. Four squads were assigned with gathering salvage and the fifth squad was working on the fortification upgrades. The level 2 fortifications had been completed for the second and third lines of defense, and the drones were just starting to upgrade the first line, which was currently unoccupied. Pulling a squad off resource gathering, Hugh assigned them to begin construction of the airfield.

Just past his command post, an open area for the airfield was staked out. The total space was larger than either the mech factory or the barracks. Thankfully, the top of his little island fortress had more than enough room to fit the airfield and still have room for his existing buildings to expand a bit. A short but wide runway was laid out, the drones producing a concrete-like mixture that hardened instantly into a solid surface, complete with painted symbols that likely meant something to someone in the Air Force, but not to an Army soldier like Hugh. A command building was constructed on one side of the runway,
