Shadow Fortress, no, it should be called Doomsday Shadow Fortress now, and its large-scale expansion has just begun.
William stood at the highest point of the fortress, looking at the expansion projects that were started on the left and right sides at the same time. Even he, who was always reserved, couldn't help but smile.
At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and three landing transport ships broke through the storm layer and flew towards the fortress. Their appearance is damaged in many places, but the main structure is still intact. William's eyes showed satisfaction. With the supplies of these three transport ships, he could expand the most urgently needed smelting factory and process metal in large quantities.
The door of the building opened behind William, and Joseph came out, came to William's side, and said, "There is a new discovery in the Cambrian. Guess what it is?"
William smiled slightly and said, "If you say that, it must be a good thing."
Joseph laughed and said: "The vein is a vein! A copper mine is less than 200 kilometers away from us. It's just that it is buried a bit deep. We have to dig down 3,000 meters."
William's smile became more obvious, "What good news. We need a lot of copper, and copper mines are often accompanied by a lot of rare metals. We will not be short of strategic metals."
"The only question is when to dig."
The smile on William's face disappeared. He pondered for a long time and then said: "If you want to mine, just a mining base is not enough. At least it must be our current scale to be able to withstand the attack of the beast tide."
"Forget it, having a mine is good news, otherwise, I would still..." Before Joseph could finish his words, he suddenly looked up and saw another transport ship rushing out of the storm clouds!
It looked very miserable, with almost all external armor gone, and even the hull was severely damaged. Two of the three main engines were burned out, and most of the attitude engine was lost. The transport ship lost most of its power and fell rapidly as soon as it emerged from the clouds. Fortunately, the captain was very skilled and directly switched the transport ship to head-to-tail mode and turned on the only main engine to resist gravity. This slowed down the fall and succeeded in success. Suspended less than 100 meters above the ground. Then the transport ship pushed forward with its attitude engine and slowly floated towards the fortress.
"There is one more transport ship!" Joseph was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "The transport ships in the air stopped landing, and all the landing sites were set aside. Damage control and medical teams were immediately on standby at the landing sites!"
The transport ship, which was nearly completely destroyed, floated into the fortress swaying, then kept adjusting its attitude, and finally was patted on the landing field without any weight. The anti-gravity device on the transport ship was obviously completely destroyed. It was a miracle that it could land successfully under such circumstances.
"I'll go direct the rescue supplies!" Joseph hurried away.
Once he left, the smile on William's face could no longer be suppressed. It was a miracle that all four transport ships landed successfully this time. Although the last transport ship was severely damaged, the main cargo hold remained intact, and all the cargo inside should be there. This transport ship means a new small factory.
It seems that the name Shadow of Doom will soon live up to its name.
William was looking forward to the future, and suddenly Joseph ran back faster than when he left, shouting: "Information! New information!"
William remained calm. He clicked on the information sent by Joseph and saw a large area of red appearing where the beast's nest had been, like dripping blood, and it was slowly surging in this direction!
"This is a tide of beasts..." William's voice was a little unstable.
Joseph became extremely calm and said: "Looking at the scale, it may be a double-A level beast wave. Come on, prepare to fight, I don't want to die here."
After the final shock, William calmed down and immediately ordered: "Shoot out all the Javelin missiles according to the maximum coverage area! Clear the take-off and landing site immediately, and the transport ships in the air carrying Javelin missiles will land first. The missiles Launch immediately as soon as it is unloaded!”
Joseph waited for him to finish the order and said, "I hope that when they come under the fortress, only 80% will be left."
William said: "I am confident that the beast tide will be weakened by 40%!"
"I hope so." Joseph said no more and rushed to the fortress wall to prepare to organize defense.
At this time, javelin missiles rose into the sky and flew quickly into the distance. William watched the missiles go away. These were the only 50 missiles he had in hand.
But the landing transport ship raised his hopes again. The ship obviously carried Javelin missiles. William quickly opened the manifest and took a look, and what he saw was a full 200 Javelin missiles!
A smile slowly appeared on William's face, and he said to himself: "It seems that it can be weakened by 60%. With an A-level beast tide, at most I don't need those two construction sites. These materials can be replenished in two days."
The Javelin missile flew close to the storm clouds, and shadows appeared in the clouds many times, but they could not catch up with the high-speed missiles. They could only watch the missiles go away, and then slowly retract into the clouds.
When the missile group flew through most of the road, they saw a group of biological missiles head on.
The two groups of missiles passed each other and looked at each other. If they were both smart, they would probably throw silly words at each other and then run towards their respective goals.
The biological missile group of the beast tide finally flew over the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, accelerated one after another, and roared towards the fortress.
"So many!" Joseph, who was sitting in the mecha on the city wall, changed his face slightly, and then ordered: "Turn on the 'umbrella' defense system and intercept with all your strength! Don't let a damn missile fall into the fortress!"
At each of the four corners of the fortress, a large weapons tower rose. Missiles were shot out from the tower, facing the living missile group. When they were thousands of meters apart, these missiles exploded one after another, ejecting countless extremely fine heavy metal particles and scattering them to the fan-shaped area ahead, shaped like an inverted umbrella.
More than a dozen giant umbrellas protected the entire front of the fortress.
The metal particles are extremely fast. As long as they stick to each other, they can easily penetrate the shell of a living missile and penetrate deep into the interior to destroy it.
However, as soon as the smile appeared on Joseph's face, it solidified again!
Almost all the living missiles were stunned and were obviously hit by the defense system. However, a small number of them continued to move forward, but they were flying staggeringly. Some more missiles were scurrying around in the air, like bison with their tails on fire. Only barely more than half of the missiles were shot down.
"Additional interception! Immediately!" Joseph ordered loudly, and then he wanted to slap himself in the face, "Damn, forget that they are alive!"
If it were a human missile, its interior would be quite sophisticated. If it were penetrated by even a metal particle, it would explode on the spot. However, the missiles of the beast tide are actually war beasts. A few small holes were made by the metal particles, which were just treated as flesh wounds, and they could still hold on by gritting their teeth.
Joseph didn't have time to think too much. The mecha was already firing on all cylinders, trying desperately to intercept the biological missiles that had slipped through the net.
On the top floor of the main building of the fortress, William returned to the command hall and stared closely at the red color representing the beast tide. Finally, he saw the red change, and then his face changed drastically.
