The reason why Plante looked ugly was because the war did not develop as he expected.
According to his original plan, the defenders in the base only had to do one thing, and that was to hold on for three hours.
Reinforcements will arrive in three hours. At that time, a new Skrull god-level force will join the battle, and the war trend will be reversed immediately!
But according to the current situation, the base is likely to be breached in less than three hours, which is why his face looks so ugly.
In order to allow the defenders in the base to hold out for three hours, the Skrull Expeditionary Force had made a lot of preparations before.
Currently, there are three seventh-level cultivators and as many as 50 sixth-level cultivators in the base.
Various defense facilities in the base, such as anti-matter rail guns, laser ray generators, psychic beam launchers, etc., have been charged for a long time and can exert maximum lethality.
Lan Qi calculated that if the power of all defense facilities was turned on to the maximum at all costs, the base would have no problem sustaining it for three hours.
But who knew, this time the Blue Star humans seemed to be too ferocious!
This time the overall strength of the Blue Star monks was several times higher than last time.
The last time the Blue Star monks attacked Quanyan was about two months ago. At that time, except for Prime Minister Cao, there were only five people at the seventh level, and only thirty or forty people at the sixth level.
But this time, there are as many as 9 people at the seventh level of Blue Star. Cat Chenxing, Su Yu, and Alijie are all at the peak of the seventh level, and there are more than 200 sixth-level practitioners!
Moreover, the morale of the sixth-level practitioners of Blue Star is extremely high. On the one hand, they were angered by Plante's sowing discord just now, and on the other hand, they also wanted to obtain a higher psychic quota.
The strength of the Blue Star monks was much stronger than expected, which was the fundamental reason for the failure of their plan.
…
The only good news for the Skrulls may be that the cat Morningstar's magic is running out.
The energy consumed by Cat Morning Star's [Star Rainbow Focus] skill is terrifying.
Although the light spot created by this skill can explode twice as much damage, the energy is not generated out of thin air. 75% of the extra double damage comes from the "accumulation effect" of the light spot, and the other 25% requires Morning Star to use its own
Magic to fill.
So after the light spot of [Star Rainbow Focus] exploded dozens of times, Cat Morningstar's mana was completely exhausted, and the Skrulls gained some breathing time.
But even if Morningstar loses its combat effectiveness, the base defense still cannot sustain for too long. Plante, who is high in the sky, understands what he must do.
The prism on Plant's mecha erupted, temporarily forcing Prime Minister Cao back.
Taking this opportunity, he used sound transmission to contact the commander of the base, the seventh-level psionic master Scat.
"Scott, according to the current situation, the base should not be able to hold for three hours. Please inform the core members of the sixth level and above in the base to be ready to retreat at any time."
"Skart understands." The commander in the base, who was struggling to support the force field shield, replied.
Scutt glanced at the menacing Blue Star army in front of him, then at the exhausted subordinate troops around him, and used sound transmission to convey orders to several core personnel around him.
Then he sent a message back to Plante: "Sir Plante, I have issued an order and will start the base's self-destruction program immediately.
The moment we abandon base 0008, all buildings and defensive weapons in the base will be automatically destroyed to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Blue Star people."
Plante praised: "Well, you did a good job."
But Scatter continued to raise the question: "So Mr. Plant, what should our officers and ordinary soldiers below the fifth level do?"
"This..." Plant thought for a while and replied: "Let's do this. After the base falls, let them gather in the square, throw down their weapons and surrender. What do the Blue Star people like to do in order to make bullets for the anti-coalition organization? Treat them well.
captive'.
After they surrender, we can just find an opportunity to redeem them later."
"clear."
After finishing the communication with Plant, Commander Scutt conveyed the order through officers at all levels.
However, during the communication process, some unexpected accidents occurred.
Cultivators of the sixth level and above did not respond much to the order. By now, they knew that they could not defend for three hours and were ready to run away.
Anyway, the base is not far from the space rift.
However, the officers and soldiers of the fifth rank and below immediately exploded, and the noises continued one after another.
Skater noticed the sudden commotion in the army, so he asked the adjutant Lykumansk who had just returned: "Lekumansk, what is going on with the army below?"
Lykumansk just went to investigate the cause of the riot. Hearing this, he immediately replied: "Commander, the army is unwilling to surrender to the Blue Stars, so there was great dissatisfaction after the order was issued."
"Unwilling to surrender? Impossible, right? What's the reason?" Commander Skart looked at the army below in disbelief.
Skater and the troops in the base belong to the Lenkert Alliance. The biggest characteristic of Lenkert Alliance soldiers is that they work for money. They are not as brave as the soldiers of the Sun Empire and are not afraid of death.
To be honest, most soldiers join the army because of the high salary. On the battlefield, they don't think about "fighting to the death for honor" or anything like that.
But now the soldiers actually refuse to surrender? What's going on? They shouldn't have such a strong will to fight, right?
Adjutant Lykumansk quickly explained: "Commander, the main reason for this is that there were errors in previous propaganda, which caused the soldiers to have a wrong understanding of surrender."
“What’s wrong with the propaganda caliber?”
"That's it..." Adjutant Lykumansk spent a lot of time to explain clearly the reason for this situation.
Commander Scat listened and realized what was going on.
It turns out that this was mainly a propaganda fallacy.
Scatter, Plant and other senior officers knew that the Blue Stars would not abuse prisoners, and there would be no problem if they surrendered, but ordinary soldiers didn't know that!
The news that ordinary soldiers received in the past was that "Blue Star people especially like to humiliate prisoners" and "only half of the soldiers can come out alive from the Blue Star prisoner of war camp, and all of them are mutilated, missing arms and legs."
The soldiers see this kind of news every day, and of course they will refuse to surrender to the Blue Star humans. This is also the reason why the military's morale is currently unstable.
If military morale is unstable, combat effectiveness will naturally decline rapidly.
Su Yu and other Blue Star monks outside the force field shield didn't know what was going on inside, but they all found that the Skrulls' defense capabilities had declined slightly.
The Blue Star monks quickly seized this opportunity to launch a strong attack.
Su Yu took out the [Hozen War God Statue] from the bottom of the box.
The powerful amplification is transformed into a huge amount of damage, causing cracks in the force field shield.
