Chapter Ninety-Three: The Tragic Battle Situation
Obviously, after these Veloctors, who were in the same large population as the Greatclawed Beasts but were clearly more powerful, joined the fray, the war suddenly began to become brutal.
These unspeakably agile creatures are relying entirely on the sheer number of Giant Clawed Beasts as a cover, constantly launching long-range attacks on the walls.
Because of their extremely fast speed, and their more cunning and sinister style than the Giant Claw, each wave of bone cone attacks will cause new casualties on the Anders' side!
This kind of counter-shooting and substitution of heads is obviously completely unacceptable to the gathering place.
Because, compared to the mutant beasts, as long as they find enough resources to be able to reproduce quickly and in large numbers, it takes at least thirty years for Hans Christian Anders to grow to be able to participate in battles, even if one is exchanged for a hundred, they will definitely suffer to death!
"Damn it!"
Seeing another familiar soldier fall in front of his eyes with a huge bone spur in his body, the anger in the squad leader's eyes was about to erupt!
Although the auxiliary aim is still functioning, as a real subject, this speed beyond the ability of the naked eye makes him unable to react at all!
In the end, he almost gritted his teeth and switched to rapid-fire mode, and swept wildly towards the fleeting afterimage, but unfortunately it was only exchanged for the wails of a few giant clawed beasts that could not dodge, and this was obviously not enough to extinguish the anger in his heart!
Of course, while he was angry, he also had deep doubts in his heart.
"Why is this happening?!"
You must know that in the relatively barren location of the Locke Gathering Area, there has not been a large-scale mutant beast invasion for at least three or four years!
And according to the researchers' speculation, as time goes by, the environment with more and more scarce resources will make the mutant beasts around the gathering place fewer and fewer, and it is very likely that there will never be a large-scale **** conflict again.
As a result, they ushered in such a large-scale and tragic battle without warning!
It can be said that since he joined the army under the command of the Flame Count and was sent here, he has never encountered such a terrifying number of invasions!
Not only him, but many people also felt very puzzled by this sudden and tragic battle.
Because not only the Anders were constantly injured, but the casualties on the mutant beast's side were undoubtedly even more tragic, and at least thousands of corpses had been left in such a short period of time!
This kind of death battle is no longer something that can be explained by the so-called mutant beast leader being provoked, because it already involves the survival of the opponent's entire mutant beast population!
"This is not the chaotic period at the beginning of the Wasteland Age, why are these guys who have formed a new ecological balance running around the gathering place on such a large scale? Aren't they afraid that they will be taken away by another species after heavy casualties?! ”
There are definitely internal reasons that they don't understand, but unfortunately, with the current tense situation, they have no time to find this answer.
At this time, the only thing they could do was to continue to tilt their anger towards those crazy mutant beasts.
And for the current situation of the whole battle, the anger of individual soldiers, whether they exploded or not, and even how injured they were, were completely insignificant.
Because, with the protection of armor, the vast majority of soldiers are wounded but not killed, and only a few unlucky people are really killed by one blow.
However, for hunters whose defenses are much more vulnerable, the situation in front of them is undoubtedly difficult for them to bear.
These guys, who should have been in the position of helpers, have paid seventy or eighty lives and several times as many wounded since the appearance of the Velocitor!
In human wars, an ordinary army with 10% casualties is already likely to collapse, and for these hunters who have no discipline at all, this proportion is undoubtedly even lower!
Fear and cringe had already begun to creep in among the hunters, and if it weren't for the extra sense of security brought by the tall walls, I guess people would have started to flee by now!
Realizing this situation, the high-level leaders of the gathering place suddenly couldn't sit still.
After all, although the Hunter Gate is equipped with garbage, there is basically no cooperation between the original teams, but there are too many of them!
In the entire gathering place, the regular soldier configuration is only one hundred and fifty people, except for some important locations and the part necessary to maintain order and control machinery, and only eleven squads really participate in the battle, only one hundred and ten people!
With this alone manpower, it would not be possible to take care of the entire area of the city wall, so it had to rely on the assistance of hunters.
It can be said that once the hunting people really collapse due to the tragic casualties, the gathering place is even in danger of being attacked by mutant beasts!
In the face of this threat, the gathering place, which has not done much for a long time, finally has a new response.
Those oval-shaped levitating machines that had been lurking in the air for half a day, like a swarm of bees, were like killer bees that had finally found their target, and instantly turned into small clusters around the city wall, and the purple light flashed in the depression at the top, sending out a beam of energy attack towards the swift beasts that were sneaking around!
Their powerful computing power gave them an incomparably terrifying ability to predict, and in an instant, at least half of the beam attacks emitted by the levitating machines successfully hit the target!
With one after another screams and wails, in just an instant, the situation seemed to be reversed by the Anders who revealed new methods!
However, none of the people who really saw what was going on could laugh...
"What a strong defense!"
Seeing the specific situation clearly, Dong Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Those missed beam attacks could easily pierce the ground and leave a deep, round pit with a melted glass luster, but it was such a ferocious power that when it hit those magnified monsters (velociraptors) that looked like giant claws with a row of bone spurs on their backs, they only left a small scorched black wound.
Unless it hits a vital point such as the eye, it will only hurt and not die at all!
Apparently, the Gathering Ground Command staff with those suspended mechanical eyes also noticed this.
I don't know what the considerations were, they ordered these levitating weapons to continue to attack, and the hard-suffering Swift Beast naturally began to rely on its own extremely high agility to dodge frantically, and the two sides played a game of cat and mouse chase.
In fact, at this time, the innate bone awl on the back of the Velociraptor was almost used, and as long as they continued to endure for a few more rounds, they could completely consume their remaining ranged attack ability.
Unfortunately, because of the hunters' tolerance for casualties, the gathering place had to make such a choice.
If it were possible, the higher-ups of the gathering place would definitely not want to do this, after all, the consumption of these defense robots using pure energy beams is extremely staggering, which is completely burning money!
