The next area will have an open plot of land to build a base that you can upgrade into a fully sized based. Take out the Banished buildings to make two small minibases before you head through. Fight through and cross the hardlight bridge to chase after Decimus into the next portal. Shortly after heading through, you will be ambushed, so make sure you have a substantial force with you to fight off the enemy. As Cutter suggested, you might want to send a unit through to scout it out. Build your base and army and then head through the portal when you're ready. Only you can send units through the portals. Always make sure you leave no troops behind or they will go through the blast zone when you move all your troops rather than through the portals. This is going to be something you need to worry about for the rest of the mission. Do not go west of that portal as you'll be blasted by the carrier above. Your next two optional objectives are to keep all Hornets your acquired alive and to claim all the available bases, the first of which is right by the next portal. These clankers can take down aerial vehicles extremely quickly, so keep your Hornets (that you acquire after taking down the Reavers) away from them. From there, you'll soon encounter your first Reavers. Once through the portal, make sure you activate the hardlight bridge so that it's easier to move to and fro. Rinse and repeat for every portal you come across. Once the lock is broken, head through the portal. If you do this before any Banished come through, you'll start your progress on the second optional objective: to destroy the Banished devices on the portals before any reinforcements get through. Head to the first portal and take out the Banished lock on it. Your first bonus objective is to keep them all alive, which is pretty hard to do without leaving them behind, so we recommend you put them into garrison posts to not follow you and have better defences for themselves. When you first start moving, take the eastern path around to rescue the first captured troops in the area.

This mission's focus is on taking out the Banished's control over the portal system.
