There is only a small blank space in the red color representing the beast tide, and there are several other places where the red becomes lighter. The Cambrian has accumulated enough data and immediately gave the degree of weakening of the beast tide: 11
%.
This was far below William's expectations, and even fell short of even the most conservative assumptions.
At this time, the base was shaken, and several biological missiles finally broke through the air defense network and landed in the base. Large thick green smoke filled the air. If it expanded to the maximum, the explosive force 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 shock wave pushed his mecha unsteadily. He took a few steps back and almost fell outside the fortress.
The other warriors on the city wall were not so lucky. Dozens of warriors who failed to hide in time were blown away by the shock wave and flew outside the fortress. Even if they were wearing armor, they would still be seriously injured if they survived such a fall.
Numerous cracks appeared on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the command hall, but fortunately they were not broken immediately. However, in the lower floors, all the windows on one floor were shattered, and the flying fragments instantly claimed the lives of almost everyone on the floor.
A large amount of toxic gas poured into the floor, and the alarm suddenly sounded. The isolation doors on each floor fell at the same time, separating each area.
Several officers immediately stood up in the command hall and rushed to various places to direct the rescue. The rest stayed at their posts and continued the work at hand. In critical moments, the quality of the Lancers was undoubtedly demonstrated.
William was still staring at the red patch on the holographic map. An adjutant next to him rushed over and shouted: "General! The windows may break at any time, and there may be a second wave of missile attacks! It's too dangerous here, please.
Immediately go to the underground command hall to continue commanding."
"No! I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here! Also, let's go see how the transport ship at the landing site is doing. How many missiles are there that can be used?"
The adjutant knew that he couldn't persuade William, so he ran out. After a while, he ran back and said: "This ship brought 200 rounds of missiles. It just lost 3 cargo boxes, and now there are only 50 rounds left!"
"
"Load, launch all, target the rear of the beast wave, maximum maneuverability to penetrate, dense coverage!" William issued a series of orders.
The adjutant immediately broke down the order and distributed it to different junior officers.
On the fortress landing field, several main battle tanks lined up in a row and crashed into the destroyed transport ship together, pushing it aside and clearing the landing space. Several mechas were carrying javelins back and forth.
Missile, send it into the missile area, load and launch.
There was also a transport ship in the sky. It was preparing to land. When it saw the missile coming, it quickly climbed up again. At this moment, it saw the opportunity and immediately landed in a falling posture, hitting the landing field like a meteorite. The surrounding soldiers swarmed up.
, desperately trying to transport supplies.
At this time, the base began to shake, and javelin missiles took off 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 shrouded his face.
He opened the communication channel and said in a low voice: "William, there are so many beasts, we are in trouble this time!"
"You can hold it." William was very determined.
"We can barely defend it by relying on buildings to cause damage. But all our defense systems are completely destroyed."
"It's not the first time, it's reconstruction. Don't forget, our supplies now are three times what they were before."
Joseph sighed and said: "Three times is not enough. Including reconstruction, it must be at least five times."
William said: "Five times is a bit too much. Counting the losses on the road, the army may not be able to accept this level of loss."
Joseph sneered, "They have to accept it even if they don't accept it! If the supplies can't keep up, we will all be doomed. By then, all the supplies and all the soldiers who died in the battle will have been consumed in vain."
"There is a way to solve it."
"What method?" As soon as the words came out, Joseph guessed William's thoughts and said: "Jolly Roger?"
"Yes. If they share it, the losses will be acceptable."
"In this case, won't we have to pay some price?"
"As long as the loss is smaller than the shared loss, it is not unacceptable."
Joseph sighed and said: "Although I feel very uncomfortable, if it can be solved like this, it may be the best solution."
"We need people to share the pressure of the beast tide. To be honest, this period is the most difficult time for me. It is the first time that so many warriors have died in a battle within our sight."
"This is war." Joseph thought more broadly.
William suddenly saw the beast tide on the map changing, and said: "Wait a minute, the beast tide..."
Joseph also called up the holographic map and watched it together.
The second half of the red color representing the beast tide suddenly faded, and then a blank appeared. The blank area was far larger than the first attack. According to Cambrian estimates, the overall number of beast tides this time was reduced.
15%.
Joseph cheered and shouted: "Well done!"
The number alone cannot reflect the significance of this air raid. Most of the beasts in the first half of the tide are alien beasts, while the more threatening units such as the Thornback Beasts are mostly in the second half. Although the alien beasts are terrifying in large numbers, they are still terrifying.
Not as good as the overwhelming thorns coming from the sky.
William was not so happy and said: "Logically speaking, the effect of the first wave of strikes should be better, but now it is just the opposite. I guess that maybe the beast tide has developed some kind of air defense method. 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 against air defense?"
"Don't you think that for beasts, they are a little too smart?"
"But they are obviously not up to the standard of an intelligent race. Our human detection radius has reached 1,500 light-years, but so far we have not found a truly intelligent civilization."
"But at least I can't treat them as normal wild animals."
"That's true. But this is not what we worry about. Let the biologists have a headache. We need to survive now. How many missiles are there?"
"That was the last wave just now, they were just moved off the transport ship."
"That's really bad! What is that?"
William was about to express his agreement when Joseph's words drew his attention to the map. After the beast tide was hit, it did not stop but continued to move forward. However, a small group separated from the beast tide and they left.
The main force of the beast tide turned in another direction.
"What does this mean? The blow was too severe and the team split?" Even Joseph himself didn't believe this.
William suddenly said: "They are heading towards the base of those two little agents!"
"It's close to a B-level beast tide, my God! Those two little guys..." Joseph groaned.
