Chapter 158: Preparing for War

It's the sixth day.

Although they were thousands of miles apart, whether it was Lin Xi or William, Joseph and the others, they were all restless, looking into the distance every day, looking forward to the early arrival of the beast tide. The base, which has only two pirate flags, is busy with men, receiving supplies, troops, and equipment, and repairing the base's fortifications.

The casualty rate of more than half of the first round of attacks made them understand the true meaning of the beast tide. This is no ordinary beast, and no beast can inflict such heavy casualties on the fortified pirate flag.

Fortunately, the two bases are quite close to each other, less than a hundred kilometers. Under normal circumstances, two forts at this distance can support each other. But in fact, the various missiles brought down by the pirate flag are almost unusable, and they cannot be fired so far with artillery. At least not chemically capable artillery.

However, the twin fortresses still have an advantage, that is, they objectively divert the beast tide.

Among the various forces, only the pirate flag really hopes that the beast tide will come later, and it is best not to come. As for Hathaway, she has been missing for so many days, and she should have entered the circulatory system of the biosphere a long time ago.

On the seventh day, the beast tide finally came.

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded inside the Shadow of Doom Fortress, and a large red tide appeared on the map displayed by the Cambrian period, rolling in. William only glanced at the color depth and area of the red tide, and his face turned blue in an instant, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Double A grade!"

"Eight A's have to be played too. Joseph had a big heart, patted William on the shoulder, and walked out of the command hall and went straight to his mecha.

"I'm going to do something. Kyle said hello to William and prepared to leave.

William stopped him and admonished, "Don't take off the plane!"

"Don't worry, you've said so, and I haven't lived enough. Let that fighter plane stop, I've got two mechs with me anyway. ”

Watching Kyle leave, William returns to the podium. This is the post that really belongs to him.

The Cambrian warning range is actually quite wide, and there are still a few hours before the arrival of the beast tide, but the Doomsday Shadow Fortress is no longer the pure fortification it was at the beginning, and now there are several factories and repair shops in the interior alone, and more importantly, there are a large number of civilians. Most of these civilians come from poor backgrounds, and they are all attracted by glamorous advertisements and high salaries. In their minds, the theater of operations is not terrible, only front-line fighters will be in danger of their lives, they are just rear service personnel, nothing will happen.

However, it wasn't until they entered the ion storm clouds that they realized that the war zone here was completely different from the one in the promotional video.

This group of civilians needs to be hidden, various factories and important areas need to close the armor layer of defense, and various artillery batteries, weapon stations and missiles need to be in place, so the whole preparation process takes an hour to completely turn the entire fortress into a state of war.

Missiles are naturally much faster than the Beast Tide, but according to past experience, the Missiles generally only arrive a few minutes earlier than the Beast Tide's large troops. Therefore, William was not in a hurry, and calmly waited for the arrival of the beast tide.

The red color on the map finally approached, and it wasn't until the beast tide entered a hundred kilometers that William ordered: "Javelin missile preparation, maximum speed, maximum penetration mode, launch!"

The missile silos in the fortress had already been opened, and with William's order, one after another missiles were launched into the sky, and then they started to start, spraying a faint blue light, flying into the distance.

In the fortress walls, Kyle's heavy mechs stood still. He sat in the cockpit, watched the blue flames disappear in an instant, and said: "Those are ion engines with a range of at least 10,000 kilometers, and they are used to hit targets 100 kilometers away! ”

"Seriously, their missiles should be almost there, too. Trust me, you don't want to be blown up by that thing. Damn, what's that!"

Exclamations rang out in the communication channel, and all the mech pilots saw the group of black dots flying in the distance. The advanced optical system instantly magnified the image, and then everyone clearly saw the ** missiles flying at full speed.

The missiles are not at all what the veterans remember.

The original ** missile at least looked like a missile, and even the flight mode was an intermittent jet, somewhat similar to a pulse engine.

However, the current ** missile looks completely different, the surface is covered with a layer of fine scale armor, and the most striking thing is that there is a huge one-eyed at the warhead!

Kyle lost his voice and said, "This is what you call ** missiles?

**The missile is already rough and thick, and then the accuracy is impressive. Now there is an eye on it, this is a real guidance system, and it is also intelligent.

"Needle, needle!" Joseph had already begun to shout when he first saw the ** missile covered in scales.

A special missile was launched from the rear of the fortress and headed for the ** missile group. It is short, thick and fat, like an oil drum flying in the air, the main thruster is just that, and even the attitude control engine is an ion engine.

It only went less than 10 kilometers before it met the ** missile group head-on. At this time, it made several small openings in its head, and heavy metal needles shot out of it.

The needles are extremely fast, almost instantaneous, and each time the needle is fired, even though the mother bomb is already fully powered by the engine, it will also slow down accordingly, and it is obvious that the energy of firing these needles is extremely high.

**The missile's newly generated scale armor is useless against the Needle. The needles carried a tremendous amount of kinetic energy, easily piercing through their scale armor, and then breaking into several pieces inside them, tumbling and tumbling, almost turning the inside into a pulp.

The parent missile instantly shot out dozens of sharp needles, and the needles were not missing, but the number of ** missiles is not dozens, but hundreds!

The second needle missile has already been launched, while the third is being prepared. But by the time the ** missile group arrives over the fortress, there will be at least a third of the **missiles!

William's face was pale, and he forcibly ordered in a calm voice: "All members enter the bunker, and the damage management and medical units are ready for action!"

At this time, Joseph suddenly shouted: "Umbrella! Launch the umbrella and go out for defense!"

"Umbrella?" William was a little puzzled, even ordinary soldiers knew that umbrella missiles were already very difficult to deal with ordinary ** missiles, let alone missiles with scale armor?

Joseph was so anxious that he shouted, "Shoot! They have eyes!"

William woke up in an instant, directly passed his subordinates, activated the umbrella air defense system himself, and one missile after another took off into the air and met the ** missile group.

What it feels like to have sand in your eyes, you soon know.
