Chapter 306: Chapter 96: Wild Charge! _1
However, this situation did not exceed the expectations of the War Operations Command Center.
If they were forming an encirclement, they needed to be prepared for the enemy to break through.
Just like war, it always comes with bloodshed and sacrifices...
"What’s the exact location?" Fang Wenhai asked in a calm voice.
"The entire...frontline battlefield!"
Hearing this news, Fang Wenhai immediately connected the dots.
The military had plenty of devices to detect underground vibrations, but they wouldn’t place these around the Demon City. This was because if they did, they would likely be destroyed by low-level bipedal Demon Fiends. Under these circumstances, the military naturally couldn’t detect these Level 4 Demon Fiends suddenly emerging to attack from the front line underground!
And moreover, the mist within the Demon City...
Thinking of this, Fang Wenhai quickly cut off his train of thought and loudly ordered, "Notify the front-line soldiers to immediately retreat! Tell Sequence Number 2 and Sequence Number 3 to initiate rescue operations, and set up a defensive circle at the designated location! Be quick about it! Also, what about the missiles? Hurry up and launch them at those Level 5 Bipedal Lizards gathered together, bomb them relentlessly!"
As Fang Wenhai’s words fell, the 2nd Artillery Unit stationed at the Outpost had already launched their attack!
The target was the group of Level 5 Bipedal Lizards stacked together like a pyramid!
...
How fast are Level 5 creatures?
Wen Yu could answer this question, for in a battle state, his physical prowess was indeed on par with a Level 5 creature’s!
Once a Level 5 creature starts to sprint, it can easily break the sound barrier, even reaching dozens of times the speed of sound!
So, the question was: how fast could this pyramid of Bipedal Lizards move?
The pyramid of Bipedal Lizards was largely composed of peak Level 5 Bipedal Lizards at the bottom. The ones stacked on top were slightly weaker, but they didn’t need to move much! Their purpose was only to firmly hold onto their kin below! With the added boost from the Group Swiftness Technique, although its massive size caused significant wind resistance and greatly reduced its speed, the raging winds and shockwaves around its body, accompanied by a thunderous Sound Explosion, revealed one fact: this pyramid made of Bipedal Lizards had indeed broken the sound barrier!
Breaking the sound barrier wasn’t difficult, at least not for a professionist. As long as their physical attributes were close to one hundred points, they could indeed break the sound barrier at a full run!
However, how big was this pyramid? The answer was—as big as the entire Demon City!
This odd-looking object, the terrifying Balu Monster Army, was like a meteor or a city, crazily sweeping toward the Outpost!
Its momentum was earth-shattering!
...
Seeing the terrifying scene on the screen and feeling the minor vibrations beneath his feet, Fang Wenhai’s brow furrowed deeply! He hadn’t even shown this expression when he first received the news about the Bipedal Lizards’ invasion through the underground tunnels!
At the same time, Fang Wenhai remembered Lin Haifeng’s words.
"The battle mode...has changed..."
"Has it really changed?"
As Fang Wenhai murmured to himself, the missiles were launched.
...
Bombing a target moving at supersonic speeds with missiles was definitely not a simple problem.
Fortunately, in modern warfare, the developments in electronic information technology meant that the missile troops didn’t need to rely on visual locking to aim at enemy units. Moreover, they could fire missiles liberally, as the Outpost had plenty...
An overwhelming barrage of missiles, following the calculated trajectory of the Balu Monster Pyramid, was launched directly into the distance.
A few minutes later, the missiles hit the target, albeit not very accurately... The reason it wasn’t very accurate was purely because the Balu Monster Pyramid was moving too fast!
Facing a target that had broken the sound barrier, some of the missiles fell short, while the majority of them directly bombarded the pyramid!
Then, a Black Light shone, quickly neutralizing the damage caused by the missile explosions. Then, amidst the sky-filling smoke and Blaze, the Balu Monster Pyramid charged toward the Outpost without any damage!
Along the way, the earth cracked. All creatures that dared to stand in the way of this terrifying beast, regardless of whether they were Human Race soldiers or low-ranked Balu Monsters, were crushed by the horrifying wind pressure around the pyramid before they could even get near it! Only drops of blood and pieces of flesh were left splattered on the Demonic Energy Shield!
Then, the second wave of missile bombing arrived!
But still, it had no effect!
...
Looking at the smoke in front, the demon spawn laughed with an evil grin.
Of course, the demon spawn understood the power of the Devil Qi Matrix. This device could Absorb an infinite amount of Demonic Qi! The more Demonic Qi it Absorbed, the more energy it stored, and the stronger the defense capabilities it offered!
After the black hole was opened, a large amount of Demonic Qi from the Demon Realm surged in. This rate of influx was even greater than the amount provided by dozens or even hundreds of Demon Realm’s Gates! All this Demonic Qi had been Absorbed by the Devil Qi Matrix in the past week. This meant that the protection the Devil Qi Matrix could offer now was tremendously high!
Under the calm gaze of the demon spawn, the second wave of missiles crashed onto the Demonic Energy Shield, which completely blocked them.
"Die! Die!! Die!!!"
The demon spawn’s sinister laughter grew louder, and the roar from his mouth intensified. Under the stimulation of his terrifying killing intent, the Soot Skin Demon Fiends around him shivered.
...
「In the Outpost Operations Command Center.」
"Calculate the time. How much longer until that thing gets to the Outpost?"
The answer to Fang Wenhai’s question came within just a few tens of seconds.
The answer was—30 minutes...
"Launch the nukes! Hurry up and launch the nukes!"
Even if the Lethality of the nuclear bomb would not only intercept the Balu Monster Pyramid but might also damage the Demon Qi Shield Generator and even send the soldiers around the pyramid who hadn’t had time to retreat to hell, Fang Wenhai issued the order without much hesitation!
At the same time, he ordered, "Notify Commander Lin and Kaldo, if the nuclear bombs have no effect, immediately open the entrance to the treasure land!"
"Yes, Sir!"
The messenger soldier behind him received the order and went out immediately.
Looking at the image relayed on the screen, Fang Wenhai’s anxiety grew stronger.
Right now, Fang Wenhai had already envisioned the worst-case scenario:
Once this thing gets close to the Outpost, what awaits all Humans will be an extremely bloody battle!
