The red color representing the beast tide only has a small blank space, and the red color has become lighter in several other places. 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 swaths of thick green smoke are everywhere. If it expands to the maximum, the explosive power will 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 fell like this.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the command hall were shaken so hard that numerous cracks appeared, but fortunately they did not break immediately. But among 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, while the rest stayed at their posts and continued the work at hand. In critical moments, the quality of the Lancers is undoubtedly demonstrated.
William was still staring at the red patch on the holographic map. An adjutant 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 go to the underground command hall immediately 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 William could not be persuaded, so he rushed out. He ran back after a while and said: "This ship brought 200 missiles. It just lost 3 cargo boxes, and now there are only 50 missiles left!"
"Load, launch all, target the rear of the beast tide, 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 collided with the destroyed transport ship, pushing it aside and clearing the landing space. Several mechas were carrying the Javelin missile back and forth, sending it into the missile area, loading it and launching it.
There was also a transport ship in the sky. It was preparing to land. When it saw the missile coming, it quickly climbed back up. Seeing an opportunity at this moment, it immediately landed in a falling posture and was photographed on the landing field like a meteorite. The surrounding soldiers swarmed forward, desperately trying to grab supplies.
At this time, the base began to shake, and javelin missiles rose into the sky 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 his face was covered with a layer of gloom.
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 hold on 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 needs to 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 be wasted."
"There is a way to solve it."
"What method?" As soon as the words came out, Joseph guessed William's thoughts and said: "Jolly flag?"
"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 died in the battle right within our sight."
"This is war." Joseph thought more broadly.
William suddenly saw a change in the beast tide on the map, 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, which represented 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 beasts this time was reduced by 15%.
Joseph cheered and shouted: "Well done!"
The quantity alone does not reflect the significance of this air strike. The first half of the beast wave is mostly alien beasts, while the more threatening units such as the Thornback Beasts are mostly in the second half. Although the alien beasts were numerous and terrifying, they were not as powerful as the overwhelming thorns.
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 they are a little too smart for beasts?"
"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, 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 again. After the beast tide was hit, it did not stop, but continued to move forward. But a small group separated from the beast tide. They left the main beast tide and turned to another direction.
"What does this mean? The team was split because of the severe blow?" 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.
