It's the sixth day.
Although they were thousands of miles apart, Lin Xi, William, Joseph and others were all restless, looking into the distance every day, expecting the beast tide to arrive soon. The base with only two pirate flags was extremely busy, constantly receiving supplies, soldiers and equipment, and repairing the base fortifications.
The casualty rate of more than half of the first round of attacks made them understand the true meaning of the beast tide. This is by no means an ordinary beast, and no beast can bring such heavy casualties to the fortress-defended Jolly Roger.
Fortunately, the distance between the two bases is quite close, less than 100 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the two fortresses can support each other at this distance. But in fact, almost all the missiles brought down by the Jolly Roger cannot be used, and cannons cannot be used to hit such a distance. At least not chemical energy artillery.
However, the dual fortresses still have the advantage of objectively diverting the beast tide.
Among all the forces, only the Jolly Roger really hopes that the beast tide will come later, or preferably not at all. As for Hathaway, she has been missing for so many days and should have entered the ecological cycle long ago.
On the seventh day, the beast tide finally arrived.
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, and a large red tide appeared on the map displayed in Cambrian, rolling in. William only glanced at the color depth and area of the red tide, his face turned pale instantly, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Double A-level!"
"Eight A's have to be beaten." Joseph was generous. He patted William on the shoulder and left the command hall and went straight to his mecha.
"I'm going to do some exercise." Kyle greeted William and prepared to leave.
William stopped him and warned: "Never take off the fighter plane!"
"Don't worry, you said so. I haven't lived enough yet. Just let the fighter plane park. Anyway, I brought two mechas over."
Watching Kyle leave, William returned to the command podium. This is the position that truly belongs to him.
The Cambrian's early warning range is actually quite wide. There are still several hours before the beast tide arrives, but the Doomsday Shadow Fortress is no longer the pure fortification it used to be. There are now several factories and repair shops inside. , and more importantly, there were a large number of civilians. Most of these civilians come from poor backgrounds and are attracted by the beautiful advertisements and high salaries. In their minds, the war zone is not scary. Only front-line soldiers are in danger. They are just rear service personnel and nothing will happen to them.
However, it wasn't until they entered the ion storm clouds that they discovered that the war zone here was completely different from the one in the promotional video.
This group of civilians needs to be concealed, various factories and important areas need to close their defensive armor layers, and various forts, weapon stations, and missiles all need to be in place. Therefore, the entire preparation process takes an hour to fully transform the entire fortress into a state of war.
** missiles are naturally much faster than the beast tide, but according to past experience, ** missiles generally arrive only a few minutes earlier than the beast tide force. Therefore, William was not in a hurry and calmly waited for the arrival of the beast tide.
The red color on the map finally approached, and it wasn't until the beast tide entered within a hundred kilometers that William ordered: "Prepare the Javelin missile, maximum speed, maximum penetration mode, launch!"
The missile silo of the fortress had already been opened. Following William's order, missiles were launched into the sky one after another, and then started to launch, spraying a faint blue light and flying into the distance.
In the fortress wall position, Kyle's heavy mecha stood motionless. He sat in the cockpit and watched the little blue fire go away in an instant, and said: "Those ion engines have a range of at least 10,000 kilometers, but they are used to hit targets 100 kilometers away! Now I finally understand why you applied Production of old-fashioned chemical energy-propelled missiles has resumed.”
"Be serious, their missiles should be arriving soon. Trust me, you definitely don't want to be blown up by that thing. Damn it, what is that!"
Exclaims came one after another in the communication channel, and all the mecha pilots saw the group of black spots flying in the distance. The advanced optical system instantly enlarged the image, and then everyone clearly saw the missiles flying at full speed.
The missiles are nothing like what the veterans remembered.
The original missile at least looked like a missile, and even its flight method was an intermittent jet, somewhat similar to a pulse engine.
However, the appearance of the current missile is completely different. The surface is covered with a layer of fine scales. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a huge one-eye on the warhead!
Kyle lost his voice and said: "Is this the missile you are talking about? Will the accuracy of this thing be poor?"
**The missile is rough and thick, but its accuracy is impressive. Now there is an extra eye on it. This is a real guidance system, and it is also intelligent.
"Needle! Needle!" Joseph had already started shouting when he first saw the missile covered with scales.
A special missile was launched from behind the fortress and faced the Japanese missile group. It is short, thick and fat, like an oil drum flying in the air. Its main thruster is just that, and even its attitude control engine is an ion engine.
It had traveled less than 10 kilometers before it met the Japanese missile group head-on. At this time, several small openings were opened in its head, and heavy metal sharp needles were shot out from inside.
The sharp needles are extremely fast, almost instantaneous, and when each sharp needle is fired, even though the engine of the mother bomb is at full power, it will slow down accordingly. Obviously, the energy of launching these sharp needles is extremely high.
**The newly generated scales of the missile are useless against the sharp needles. The sharp needles carried huge kinetic energy, easily pierced through their scales, and then broke into several pieces inside their bodies, rolling continuously, almost turning the insides into a ball of paste.
The mother missile instantly fired dozens of sharp needles, and the needles were all fired. However, the number of ** missiles was not dozens, but hundreds!
A second Needle missile has been launched and a third is being prepared. But when the Japanese missile group reaches the sky above the fortress, there will be at least one third of the Japanese missiles!
William's face turned pale and he ordered in a calm voice: "All members enter the bunker, the damage control and medical teams are ready for action!"
At this time, Joseph suddenly shouted: "Umbrella! Launch the umbrella, move forward to defend!"
"Umbrella?" William was a little confused. Even ordinary soldiers knew that umbrella missiles were already very difficult to deal with ordinary missiles, let alone missiles with scales?
Joseph shouted anxiously: "Shoot quickly! They have eyes!"
William woke up in an instant, passed over his subordinates, activated the umbrella air defense system himself, and missiles rose into the sky to meet the missile group.
You will soon learn what it feels like to have sand in your eyes.
