Chapter 177 Beast Tide

Over seven hundred Beast Kings participated in this attack, and among them, nearly thirty were Cerebral Type Beast Kings, around fifty were Divine Descent Type Beast Kings, and the remaining Ancestral Type Beast Kings were all over fifty meters tall.

Each of them was the size of a huge ship, their skin and scales as black as iron, emerging from the sea like mountains surging into the harbor.

Crack!

A Beast King with eerie green pupils and a "Godzilla"-like form roared, extending its long tongue to scoop up the unconscious Septentrion warriors, directly swallowing them into its monstrous maw.

This was a "Tyrant."

Also the commander of this attack.

Several Septentrion warriors were swallowed, and as its massive jaws closed, a chilling sound of bones shattering and metal twisting echoed.

Those combat suits that could withstand the claws and teeth of mutated beasts were as fragile as paper under the Tyrant's powerful attacks.

Fighter jets roared in the sky, firing frantically, and anti-aircraft guns in the distance roared, launching shells.

"Awoo!" The Tyrant roared to the sky, and the sea behind them trembled again, as hundreds of thousands of mutated beasts surged up densely, surrounding the Beast Kings, sticking to each other, forming a visually shocking and extremely disgusting "Beast Mass!"

Da da da!

Bullets and autocannon fire rained down, blasting the mutated beasts into flying fragments!

The artillery fire raged, evaporating even the blood!

But the "Beast Mass" never collapsed. These mutated beasts seemed endless, constantly emerging from the sea. When a gap appeared on the outer edge of the Beast Mass, new mutated beasts would surge up to block it with their bodies.

Under these circumstances, the ammunition at Markde Port was being consumed at a terrifying rate, and the mutated beasts were being slaughtered at an equally terrifying rate, but the core Beast Kings suffered no damage.

"Ammunition is running low!"

"Anti-ground artillery shells are insufficient!"

"Autocannon ammunition is only forty percent remaining!"

"Air defense control room is under attack! Electromagnetic signals are blocked… Not good, they're coming in!"

Soon, inside the central command of Markde Port, a large number of ammunition shortage requests arrived. The commander-in-chief stared blankly at the beast swarm markers constantly advancing into the port on the radar, and trembled, "Where are the Septentrion troops?"

"All Septentrion troops have been dispatched, but…" someone responded.

"They can't stop the beast tide!"

Through real-time satellite monitoring, the commander-in-chief saw that the once-powerful Septentrion evolved warriors were as fragile as moths flying into flames in the face of this surging Beast King tide.

Some charged at the Beast Kings with steel blades but fell silently on the way.

Some were directly torn apart by claws as large as heavy trucks.

Some swung their blades, only to find that the sharp blades that used to cut through the Beast Kings' bodies like tofu could no longer break through the enemy's skin…

"These Beast Kings are not right! How can there be so many special ability Beast Kings among them?" The commander-in-chief was on the verge of collapse. According to past experience, there would usually only be one or two Cerebral Type or Divine Descent Type Beast Kings in a beast tide attack!

The number of special Beast Kings in this beast swarm was obviously dozens of times higher!

Even the most common Ancestral Type Beast Kings were much stronger in strength, speed, and size than usual!

This beast tide was excessively powerful!

"Ah!"

"Save me!"

"..."

Miserable screams echoed over Markde Port. The defense line built by the lives of the Septentrion warriors was easily breached by the beast tide. The fighter jets in the sky were also interfered with, their engines failing, and they crashed straight down.

The beast tide advanced into the port at a terrifying speed.

In the last moments of the commander-in-chief's life, he saw countless pupils flickering with bloody light…

The entire Markde Port was plunged into chaos.

Fifteen minutes later, the port was completely lost, and none of the garrisoned soldiers survived.

Eight hundred Septentrion warriors were torn to pieces.

…

The tragedy at Markde Port spread throughout the world in a very short time.

Although in the current world situation, an attack on a city, port, or military base was not news, the problem was that Markde Port was defended by an evolved troop of over eight hundred people.

After the evolved troops of various countries had entered the right track, someone had made a rough calculation that, after equipping special weapons, a team of one hundred evolved people could surpass a mechanized brigade of three thousand people in a head-on battle with the beast tide.

The European Union's Septentrion troops were among the most powerful evolved troops in the world.

In past battles, the casualty rate between Beast Kings and Septentrion troops was usually 9:1 to 15:1. Generally, a Septentrion warrior in a deathmatch state could fight to the death against 9 to 15 Beast Kings. Of course, these were the most common Ancestral Type Beast Kings.

Because Cerebral Type and Divine Descent Type Beast Kings rarely appeared in the Beast King group.

In a beast tide of one hundred Beast Kings, perhaps only one special Beast King would appear, a one percent chance!

If calculated according to this experience and probability, the deaths of eight hundred Septentrion soldiers at Markde Port should have cost the Beast King group at least eight thousand Beast King lives.

But what was the reality?

The Beast King group that attacked Markde Port that night suffered fewer than one hundred casualties!

Among the beast tide, the number of Cerebral Type and Divine Descent Type Beast Kings was one-tenth of the total number of Beast Kings!

Ten times, even dozens of times different from the previously recognized human casualty data!

What is the deepest fear for humans?

It is the unknown! It is a sudden change beyond control!

Just like when a large number of Beast Kings first appeared, all of humanity fell into chaos. But with the emergence of evolved troops, with human understanding of the "true power" of the Beast Kings, humans gradually believed that they had completely grasped the details of this new group, so this sense of fear began to weaken, even disappear.

But when one day, humans suddenly discovered that the "truth" they had grasped had undergone earth-shattering changes, and the enemy's power was beyond their control! This change caused the great sense of fear to return again!

The Markde Port attack was not an isolated case. Similar fierce attacks broke out around the world, and without exception, the Beast Kings displayed a completely different fighting power than before. Dozens of cities and shelters with evolved troops stationed were breached, and corpses littered the ground.

The myth of human evolved troops seemed to be shattered from this moment on…

The afternoon after the Markde attack.

The heads of state of more than forty countries held the second Blue Star Global Heads of State Conference via video link.

The content of the meeting was…

Whether to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Beast King group!
