"Brother Captain! Our losses have already exceeded half, and the defense line is about to be overwhelmed. Atlas reminded nervously.

Sighing slightly, Zhou Xin said to himself: "Did you only last for more than half an hour?" That's a lot shorter than expected. Sure enough, it's still too difficult to hold the opponent's attack with such a half-hung defensive line, is there really not enough time? ”

Following Zhou Xin, the little girl gave a more accurate estimate, "If the other side breaks through the defense line like this, it is estimated that it will only take them more than an hour to break into the hinterland of the mining area, and the time gap is about half an hour, which means that we must find a way to delay those attacking troops for another half an hour." ”

"Can't you move any faster?" Zhou Xin frowned and asked, "All the equipment that should be discarded has been discarded." ”

"It's already the fastest speed, people have given up everything that can be discarded, and the rest is the core part of the equipment that must be taken away." Atlas replied, "Brother Captain, you don't know how big those devices really are. Transporting them from the bottom of the sea is a difficult task in itself, and some parts of it have to be dismantled before they can be stuffed into the construction ship, which takes time. ”

"Okay." Zhou Xin also knew that the little girl had done her best, so he didn't criticize anything, but his expression was a little frustrated. With the worst intentions, he ordered: "If you really can't stop it, then you can only count it, anyway, as limited to the other party's rush into the hinterland of the mining area, you can grab as many things as you want." ”

"That's all there is to it now."

At this moment, Dart, who was thinking while keeping an eye on the real-time battle situation at any time, suddenly spoke: "Shrink the defensive line." ”

"Shrink the line?" Zhou Xin didn't react for the first time, he asked subconsciously.

"Yes, shrink the line." At this critical juncture, Dart obviously didn't have time to explain it to Zhou Xin, so he simply explained while ordering, "Actually, the problem now is very simple, that is, the forces we left in the mine area cannot hold such a long line of defense. In that case, why don't we simply abandon this line of defense and build a new one closer to the center of the mine? In this way, after the defensive line is contracted, the remaining defensive units near the mining area can also be gathered and concentrated. Perhaps, it is not impossible to hold on for another half an hour. ”

"Atlas, just do it." After listening to Dart's explanation, Zhou Xin's first reaction was to think it was feasible, and he immediately became a little excited.

"I'm afraid it won't be as optimistic as you think, Big Brother Dart." However, unexpectedly, Atlas poured cold water on it immediately afterward. Unlike Dart, who can only analyze the battle situation from the information on the screen, the little girl who can connect at will and receive the signal sent back by any unit on the planet has obviously learned more accurate and detailed, "It is not impossible to abandon this line of defense and shrink to build a second line of defense, but in this case, those combat robots that are now the main combat force but are inconvenient to move are obviously too late to retreat, and they will be quickly exposed to the opponent's fire in a short period of time and suffer a devastating blow." That is, the main body that constitutes the second line of defense can only be detectors, and a small number of underwater attackers that can keep up with the speed of retreat. Compared to the more well-defended first line of defense, the new line of defense will certainly not last the same amount of time. ”

"But at least we can delay a little longer." From Atlas's explanation, Zhou Xin still heard more profound meanings, "Then let's do this first, how long can it be delayed." He let out a long sigh.

"It's already been ordered." The little girl replied with a serious expression, "Based on the current situation, it is expected that the second temporary line of defense can hold out for anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour, depending on the reaction of the other party. Before he finished speaking, the green semicircle on the screen began to shrink inward at a speed visible to the naked eye. While shrinking, the aperture itself resembles a comet, scattering many pale green spots of light along the way. However, these scattered green points of light did not last long, and as the civilization on the planet reacted in a very short time and began to shrink the encirclement, the green points of light were quickly engulfed by red clouds......

The underwater shelter at this time-

"Sakincha, they're starting to back off." The situation from the front made Mimiros a little excited, and even the tone of his voice unconsciously raised a little. Of course, in fact, without his reminder, through the real-time picture on the screen, several elderly people can clearly see the current battle situation.

"Be careful." While observing the battle situation in the picture, the yellow-haired old man cautiously reminded, "Maybe there are some traps waiting for us ahead." ”

"What traps can there be." The thin old man grinned, "Judging from the previous situation, it is obvious that they are retreating because they can't stop our attack." As soon as he finished speaking, he exclaimed, "No, there are really traps?" At the same time as he was surprised, a hint appeared in the picture that he had been attacked.

Seeing this prompt, Mimiros's brow furrowed again, and he immediately made contact with the front-line troops.

"What's going on, where are you being attacked?"

"It's an attack weapon set up by Sagincha on the bottom of the sea." The voice from the communicator was intermittent, but it was still clear that it was a young man's voice, "After discovering that the main force of the other side began to retreat, some people did not pay attention to the surrounding situation and immediately launched a pursuit, but then the pursuing force was attacked by those attackers on the bottom of the sea. According to my analysis, these undersea attackers should have been left behind by Sakincha to block our pursuit because they could not be evacuated in time. As he spoke, the young man switched the camera to the outside of the boat. In the footage that came back, Mimiros saw the robots that had been left in place, still attacking sporadically.

"Whatever the reason for the attackers being left behind, in short, be careful when pursuing." Mimiros reminded, "Steadily advancing, we must first clear all those firing points on the bottom of the sea, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses." ”

"Understand, advance steadily, focus on clearing the firepower points on the seabed." The other party ended the communication after repeating the command.

"It seems like it's just a few minor issues." Turning off the communicator, Mimiros casually said to the old men on the screen who were always paying attention to him, "It's not a trap, it's just some units that are still attacking that were abandoned by Sargincha during the retreat......"
