Chapter 148: It's War

Only a small blank space appeared in the red that represented the beast tide, and the red became a little lighter in a few places. The Cambrian had accumulated enough data to immediately give the extent to which the beast tide was weakened: 11%.

This was far below William's expectations, and even the most conservative scenario was not met.

At this time, the base shook, and several biological missiles finally broke through the air defense network and landed in the base. A large area of thick green smoke filled the air, and if it expanded to the maximum, then the explosion would also reach its peak.

Joseph on the city wall reluctantly fired a shot at the green mist, detonating all the green mist. The explosion was still earth-shattering, and the shockwave pushed his mech unsteadily, taking a few steps backwards, and almost falling out of the fortress. The other warriors on the city wall were not so lucky, and dozens of warriors who failed to hide in time were directly blown away by the shock wave and flew outside the fortress. Even if they were wearing battle armor, they would be seriously injured if they didn't die if they fell like this.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the command hall were shaken to the point that countless cracks appeared, but fortunately they did not shatter immediately. However, in the lower floors, all the windows on one floor were shattered, and the flying fragments instantly took the lives of almost everyone on the floor.

A large amount of toxic gas poured into the floor, and the alarm went on, and the isolation doors of each floor fell at the same time, separating the various areas.

Several officers immediately stood up in the command hall and rushed to various places to direct the rescue, while the rest remained at their posts and continued their work. In critical moments, the quality of the lancers is unmistakable.

William was still staring at the red patch on the hologram. An adjutant next to him rushed over and shouted: "General! The windows may be shattered at any time, and there may be a second wave of missile attacks! It is too dangerous here, please go to the underground command hall immediately and continue to command." ”

"No! I'm not going anywhere, just here! Besides, let's go and see how the transport ships at the landing field are doing, and how many missiles are still available?"

The adjutant knew that William could not be dissuaded, so he rushed out. After a while, he ran back and said: "This ship has 200 missiles, it has just lost 3 cargo boxes, and now there are only 50 left!"

"Load, all launch, target the rear of the beast tide, maximum maneuver penetration, dense coverage!" William gave a series of orders.

The adjutant immediately broke down the order and distributed it to the different junior officers.

On the take-off and landing field of the fortress, several main combat vehicles lined up and crashed into the destroyed transport ship together, pushing it aside and clearing the landing space. Several mechs carried the Javelin missile back and forth, sending it into the missile area and loading and firing.

There was also a transport ship in the air, which was preparing to land, but when it saw the missile attacking, it hurriedly climbed again. At this moment, it saw the opportunity and immediately took a falling attitude and landed, slapping on the take-off and landing field in a meteorite-like manner. The surrounding soldiers rushed up, desperately rushing to transport supplies.

At this time, the base began to shake, and one Javelin missile shot into the air and flew into the distance.

At this moment, Joseph on the city wall also knew the results of the first round of missile raids, and a layer of gloom was also shrouded in his face.

He turned on the communication channel and said in a low voice: "William, there are so many beast tides, we are choking enough this time!"

"Hold on. "William was very determined.

"Relying on buildings to create damage is barely able to hold on. But all of our defenses were destroyed. ”

"It's not the first time, it's reconstruction. Don't forget, we're now three times as well stocked. ”

Joseph sighed and said, "Three times is not enough, and if you count the reconstruction, you have to make at least five times." ”

William said: "Five times is a bit much, and counting the attrition on the road, this level of loss may not be acceptable to the legion." ”

Joseph sneered, "If they don't accept it, they have to accept it! The supplies can't keep up, and we're all going to be finished." At that time, all the materials in the early stage and all the soldiers who died in the battle will be consumed in vain. ”

"There's a way to fix it. ”

"What way?" As soon as the words came out, Joseph guessed William's thoughts, and said, "Pirate flag?"

"Yes. If they share the burden, the loss is acceptable. ”

"Wouldn't we have to pay some price?"

"As long as the loss is small, it's not unacceptable. “

Joseph sighed and said, "Although I feel very uncomfortable, if I can solve it in this way, it may be the best solution." ”

"We need people to share the pressure of the beast tide. Truth be told, this was the hardest time I've ever had, and it was the first time that so many fighters had died in sight. ”

"This is war. Joseph was more open-minded.

William suddenly saw a change in the beast tide on the map, so he said, "Wait, the beast tide ......"

Joseph also called up the holographic map and watched it together.

The red that represented the beast tide suddenly faded in the second half, and then a blank space appeared. The empty space is far larger than the first attack. According to Cambrian estimates, the overall number of beast tides was reduced by 15% this time.

Joseph cheered and exclaimed, "Well done!"

The number alone does not reflect the significance of this air raid, the first half of the beast tide is mostly foreign beasts, and the more threatening classes such as the spinyback beasts are mostly in the second half. Although the number of strange beasts is also terrifying, it is not enough to keep up with the overwhelming thorns.

William was not so happy, saying: "It stands to reason that the first wave of blows should have been more effective, but now it's the opposite." My guess is that perhaps the beast tide has developed some kind of air defense. In our first wave of missile attacks, some of them should have been intercepted. ”

Joseph was stunned, "Air defense? You mean these beasts? They can defend themselves?"

"Don't you think they're a little too smart as beasts?"

"But they clearly don't meet the standards of the intelligent race. We humans have reached a radius of 1,500 light years, but so far we have not found a truly intelligent civilization. ”

"But at least I can't treat them like normal beasts. ”

"That's right. But that's not what we're worried about, let's give the biologists a headache. We need to survive now. How many more missiles?"

"It was the last wave, just moved off the transport ship. ”

"That's bad! What's that?"

William was about to agree, when Joseph's words drew attention to the map again. After the beast tide was hit, it did not stagnate, but continued to move forward. But a small group was separated from the beast tide, and they left the main force of the beast tide and turned in another direction.

"What does this mean, the blow is too bad, the team is divided?" said this, and even Joseph himself did not believe it.

William suddenly said, "They are heading towards the base of those two little agents!"

"Nearly B-class beast tide, oh my God! those two little ones ......," Joseph groaned.
