"Ta...ta..."
Although Elizabeth City is still filled with smoke and there are sparse gunfire from time to time, the overall situation has stabilized.
The sound of gunfire represents the ground troops, methodically clearing away the remaining beasts.
The sudden attack of beasts and behemoths caused huge losses to the city. The exact amount still needs to be calculated later.
And immediately after the attack, tens of thousands of photos and videos of the beast were circulated on the Internet, giving more than 90% of online netizens a rough understanding of what happened to Elizabeth City.
This time, Umbrella seemed to have made no move to block the attack, because after the photos and videos, the local media in Elizabeth reported live coverage of the entire attack.
The live broadcast by professionals allowed the entire society to clearly understand the whole story of the attack.
The beasts that emerged from the sea were killing humans and even pets kept by humans indiscriminately. Citizens and tourists who reacted panicked and stayed away from the coastline, and police stations in various regions were mobilized urgently.
In Elizabeth City, a city with a population of 18 million, more than 20,000 police officers became the first line of defense to stop the beast from advancing northward.
With timely response and the help of special police equipped with pulse firearms and various heavy weapons, the police successfully prevented the beast from unbridled slaughter and advancement.
During this period, the outside world was most worried about Elizabeth City, because through the news and the Internet, people could see that the police were struggling to hold on despite being overwhelmed.
When the 9th Airborne Division, 78th and 103rd Infantry Divisions arrived one after another and began to advance in the opposite direction towards the coastline, people's hanging hearts finally "landed smoothly".
It wasn't until the Second Fleet destroyed the 100-meter behemoth with one shot that the outside world realized that Elizabeth City had been rescued. At the same time, they also realized that humans had suffered from some kind of monster, or...
Attack by alien race.
Fund-raising channels have been opened on the Internet, and heated discussions have begun, analyzing and speculating what the beast body is, whether it is a declaration of war by an alien race, etc.
South of Elizabeth City, about six thousand meters above the sea.
A battleship belonging to Umbrella, with its optical camouflage deployed, hovered here and continued to pay attention to the movements on the surface.
If the concealment state is actively released, the overall appearance of the battleship can be seen, with a vague shadow of the Fire Spirit.
However, the length of this warship is nearly four thousand meters, its structure is more compact, and its belly is wider and larger. If it really breaks out of concealment and reaches the top of the city, it will definitely have the effect of blocking out the sky and the sun.
Zeus class heavy aircraft carrier.
It is Umbrella's and even mankind's largest "tonnage" battleship currently.
Equipped with three 450-meter-long electromagnetic gun arrays that can fire 20 tons of tungsten-ferroalloy projectiles, its artillery system is capable of killing marathons in seconds.
The UNSC has the largest warship, which is the Phoenix-class aircraft carrier that has been fully upgraded by Umbrella. Naturally, the UNSC executives do not regard it as the flagship of the main fleet and declare it as a Phoenix-class support ship.
Umbrella fleet.
There are a total of ten Zeus-class heavy aircraft carriers, nine of which are dominated by legions led by the original body.
What is more special is that the ship where the Dark Angel is located is also the flagship of Sui Bian, so its specifications, firepower and number of crew members are slightly higher than the other nine ships.
As for Sui Bian's original stealth-class flagship Griffin, it served as a mobile base for Nova and the ghost agents.
After the Zeus class is fully installed, although Umbrella has a next-stage warship research plan, it will not continue to build it in the short term.
After all, the current Zeus class is enough to serve as the Legion's flagship.
The two original bodies, Rogge and Magnus, even though they each have their own flagships, are still stationed on the moon and Mars for a long time. Unless there is a direct order from Sui Bian, they will never leave their respective areas of responsibility.
There are three other original bodies that have left the solar system and have been deployed to the three most fringe galaxies in humankind's current territory.
Leaving aside Rogge, Magnus, and Leon, there are still four primarchs with their legions and flagships, secretly assisting the UNSC in cruising in the solar system.
The first to respond to the attack on Elizabeth City was the Zeus-class heavy aircraft carrier named "BloodTear", which was the flagship of Sanguinius.
At this moment, located under the bow of the ship, there are a large number of portholes on the bridge with an excellent view.
Sanguinius, wearing the original power armor and unfolding his helmet, stood at the center console in the center of the bridge.
The center console generates a "three-dimensional sandbox" of Elizabeth City and its surroundings, showing all real-time dynamics for the primarch.
The Red Queen shrunk her holographic figure to the size of her palm, "standing" on the far left side of the center console, to assist Sanguinius in handling this incident.
Seeing that the UNSC is completely in control of the situation.
Sanguinius brought up several more holographic screens and looked at the online discussions and news reports about "aliens" and "monsters" on the screens. He couldn't help but ask:
"Red Queen, didn't my father order the blocking of information related to this unusual incident?"
"Sir, the White Queen and I don't need to deliberately control it," the Red Queen replied indifferently.
"Really..." Sanguinius groaned thoughtfully, looked up and said:
"Matt, please inform the entire ship to continue to prepare for war."
"Yes, sir."
Sitting in the captain's seat, the young captain with sleek short hair nodded in response.
The captain's employee badge is engraved with "Employee Number: UM-A-176009, Matt Case."
Matt Case.
He was the son of legendary captain Jacob Keyes who commanded three Goshawk-class ships and pierced the Predator fleet.
He is young and seems to be a "good old man".
But Matt was screened by two artificial intelligences and was finally recommended to the candidate list for flagship captain, and was then personally appointed as the captain of the Tears of Blood by Sanguinius.
He has the ability, but lacks actual combat experience. In fact, this is what most Umbrella and UNSC captains lack. After all, there is no actual combat opportunity.

…
at the same time.
Sui Bian's flagship, the Anthem of Courage, is within the gravitational range of Mars.
Inside the bridge.
The layout of the bridge here is the same as that of the Tears of Blood, looking forward through the portholes.
It is possible to directly observe Mars, whose atmosphere is much thicker than that of ten years ago. There are even "green" and "blue" areas visible to the naked eye on the surface near the equator.
But Sui Bian, who was standing next to the center console, had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery of Mars that was gradually becoming "terraformed".
Because not long ago, the system said in his mind:
[Detecting the ghost agents under the host and discovering the portal opened by the "colonizer" race, a mission was issued.
Mission content: Find and kill the leader of the colonizer race who is responsible for assimilating and invading the earth of another universe.
Success: Obtain all surviving humans on Earth from another universe.
Failure: No penalty.
Time: No time limit required. 】
