Chapter 158 Five Waves of Beasts

As the horns of war sounded, at that moment, with the original human defense line as the center, a large number of troops frantically unleashed the flames of war outward.

Lunsunburg, the Kaing Mountains, Winterfell... and seventeen other important strategic points were instantly covered by overwhelming artillery fire.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

In the ruins and in the sea, countless roars of beasts resounded through the sky, and dark masses of beast tides began to gather.

"Conserve ammunition, we no longer have the luxury," the commander in charge of the operation said. "After a round of bombing, immediately send in the Evolver troops to the battlefield, using cross-fire tactics to retake the target points!"

In the vast ruined cities occupied by the beast tide, after warplanes bombed out a vacuum zone, a large number of transport planes began to airdrop Evolver troops.

The war was completely on!

In less than ten minutes after the war broke out, a rapid alarm sounded over Kuangxi Island.

And not only Kuangxi Island, but this alarm was also transmitted to combat troops stationed hundreds of kilometers around Kuangxi Island!

"The alarm is sounding! It's a beast tide, a beast tide is coming!"

"Prepare to intercept!"

"Don't panic, follow orders!"

On the monitoring instrument of Kuangxi Island, Qin Yiming saw a large number of thermal signatures rapidly gathering in the sea area directly north, moving towards Kuangxi Island.

"Rough calculations estimate that this wave of beast tide currently numbers thirty thousand, but their numbers are rapidly increasing. Based on distance and speed calculations, when they reach the Kuangxi Island range, the number will increase to more than two hundred thousand!" Qin Yiming reported the information to Li Tianran truthfully.

Two hundred thousand?

Hearing this number, Li Tianran was very calm. This number was not too large. Let alone shake his defense line, those ten Mecha Gladiators could probably cut through them again!

Qin Yiming looked at the monitor screen, then his gaze suddenly focused on one location. His pupils rapidly contracted, and he quickly said into the intercom system: "No, no! There are three, no, four different waves of beast tides also moving in our direction! According to calculations, when they reach our defense line, their numbers will reach one hundred and twenty thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred and forty thousand, and eighty thousand respectively!"

Li Tianran's brow furrowed.

At this moment, not only him, but every Pioneer warrior who heard this voice was somewhat dazed.

A total of five waves of beast tides!

Nearly seven hundred thousand monsters!

What kind of concept was this?

In this human counter-offensive, a total of two million eight hundred thousand troops were mobilized to wage war on seventeen important locations, and according to estimates, if they want to achieve victory this time, humans may need to eliminate more than four million monsters.

All of humanity would face four million enemies, and Kuangxi Island would need to fight seventy thousand. Li Tianran would bear one-sixth of the enemies of all mankind!

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to get a strong country to invest resources and help establish Kuangxi Island as the northwest gateway for humanity!" Li Tianran said with a serious expression and a fierce glint in his eyes.

The geographical location of Kuangxi Island is very special. If the beast kings want to support three of the seventeen important strategic locations that humans plan to retake in this operation, Kuangxi Island is difficult to bypass. This is the shortest and most convenient sea route!

And if they want to bypass Kuangxi Island, the beast tide would need to travel thousands of kilometers more, and they would also need to land in advance and march on land!

Obviously, detouring would definitely not be the beast kings' choice!

"Everyone prepare, large torpedoes are entering standby status... The Mecha Gladiators will drive them up from the seabed. As soon as they enter the firing range, blow them up!"

A reply quickly came from the intercom headset.

"Understood!"

At this moment, all the Pioneer warriors participating in this war adjusted their state to their peak.

...

Time shifted to 3:59 PM.

Looking down from the sky, with Kuangxi Island as the center, a large number of warships and warplanes were distributed on a front line of hundreds of kilometers. In the north, northeast, and northwest directions of Kuangxi Island, five dark shadows were approaching Kuangxi Island's front line at different speeds. According to their speed calculations, the shadow at the front would be able to make the closest contact with the front line in less than ten minutes!

The beast tide was only dozens of kilometers away from the Kuangxi Island front line!

"According to detection, the beast tide is within ten meters below the sea surface! Our conventional missiles can bomb them!" Qin Yiming reported the enemy situation again.

Yes, the beast tide can travel in the deep sea, but under the enormous water pressure, their swimming speed will also slow down, and at this time they are traveling at full speed, so being on the surface of the water is naturally faster!

"Warning, the first wave of the beast tide will make full contact with the front line in seven minutes and twenty seconds, with an estimated number of one hundred and ninety thousand. The exact number of beast kings cannot be estimated. According to the usual ratio of past beast tides, the number of beast kings is around eight thousand!"

"The second wave of the beast tide will make full contact with the front line in fifteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds, with an estimated number of one hundred and twenty thousand and the number of beast kings at six thousand..."

"..."

The cold mechanical warning sounded, and the five waves of the beast tide would all collide with the Kuangxi Island front line in thirty minutes.

That would be a huge melee.

"Launch missiles, we don't need to save them... There are already too many weapons in Kuangxi Island to store." Li Tianran said in a deep voice, issuing instructions to all combat teams: "Let's relieve the pressure on our warehouse!"

"Next, it's free bombing time!"

With Li Tianran's order, a rain of missiles rose into the sky from behind him, from the sea, and from the sky, and then crashed down.

The entire sea surface was shrouded in flames and artillery shells.

The huge shock wave spread rapidly from the sea surface, and even dozens of kilometers away, one could still feel the intense vibrations from the sea!

This was simply a continuous storm, and endless flames and artillery shells raged on the sea surface for a full three minutes.

Before the world's disaster, an ordinary missile was worth 1 million Yanhuang coins, and at this time Li Tianran's missile rain was unleashed, with tens of thousands of missiles being fired every second, lasting a full 180 seconds. If converted into money, how terrifying would this consumption be?

A certain rich Ma of Yanhuang before the Cataclysm had a personal fortune of nearly 400 billion, and if his personal wealth were used to support Li Tianran's bombing, it would only last for less than ten minutes.

But such ammunition consumption was only a drop in the bucket for Li Tianran.

The resources he had acquired from all over the world and the weapons purchased from the Points Store had completely freed him from the "fear of insufficient firepower". He could say without exaggeration that this sea area was contracted by him!
