99: Shrouded in despair!
"Quick, the inland military region immediately reinforce the coastal defense!"
"Air Force units immediately go to reinforce, we must minimize losses!"
"Tell the Coastal Defense Military Region to hold on, reinforcements will arrive in an hour..."
When the video of the Dragon King attacking the Steel Wall spread throughout the military, inside the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Military Region, several high-ranking officials issued a series of commands, the situation was extremely tense.
Even Professor Professor Xia Xinyu was unusually despondent this time, "Can our army still hold them back this time? This Dragon King seems very difficult to deal with..."
But at this moment, no one paid much attention to personal remarks unrelated to the war.
Everyone qualified to participate in this matter became incredibly busy and tense, even wishing they could have clones to deal with it as quickly as possible.
"Quick, quick, Company Three follow up!"
"How many residents in the city haven't been evacuated yet?"
"Now is not the time to discuss sacrifices, everyone must unite..."
In the Eastern Sea Area, Naval personnel and local garrison soldiers rushed along the defense line; although the scene looked a bit chaotic, it was generally orderly.
"Roarβ"
Just over half an hour ago, as the Dragon King blasted a huge hole in that steel high wall, countless sea beasts swarmed in.
They seemed endless; in just a short moment, they used their powerful bodies to expand the hole, causing even more sea beasts to rush in.
Da da da β β
Boom!
On the current coastal defense line, terrifying explosions were everywhere.
At this time, a company commander, seeing more sea beasts about to break through the newly established defense line, paused for a moment before roaring out a command, "Don't you see that side is about to be overrun?"
"Quickly send people to plug the gap!"
"Company Commander, we're out of ammunition, new ammunition is still on the way."
"What?"
For a moment, the company commander was stunned.
He stared blankly at the rampant sea beasts, watching them tear his comrades apart one by one, then suddenly came back to his senses, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "Then what are you waiting for?"
"Even if we die, we have to drive these beasts back!"
"Kill!"
The moment his words fell, he led the charge. Even after his gun ran out of bullets, he directly used the gun body to attack the sea beasts.
Seeing this scene, the other soldiers were infected by the fervor and charged forward, fearless of death!
However, the number of these sea beasts was simply too vast!
Giant shrimp and crabs, six to seven meters tall with steel shells, walruses and seals the size of a dozen tanks, and various sea snakes ranging from over ten to tens of meters long, all landed.
Relying on their immense numbers and size, they broke through a thousand meters in just a few minutes, successfully crushing the Navy's first line of defense.
Countless Naval soldiers were devoured by the beasts!
Moreover, due to the rising seawater, not only these sea beasts that can survive in both ocean and land, but also those legless sea sharks and various fish, all surged forward.
The long and rugged coastline was almost entirely covered by their figures.
"Under these circumstances, can we really hold out until reinforcements arrive?"
In the temporary command post, Naval Commander Zhang Zhenhai, seeing these scenes, couldn't help but show despair, "After so many years, my Eastern Navy has never encountered such a major blow!"
He commanded a hundred thousand troops, but today, there was a high possibility of total annihilation!
The surveillance footage showed that although some sea beasts were blown to pieces by shells, staining the battlefield red, overall, they were still steadily advancing.
And when the thick-skinned sea beasts got close, the human army was like fish on a chopping board, utterly powerless to resist!
"There's still a chance!"
Suddenly, Zhang Zhenhai was surprised to find that the sea beasts that had broken through to the second line of defense seemed to be slowing down as they moved away from the water source.
Immediately, he burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha, they are marine creatures after all, they can't stay away from water for too long. As long as our brothers hold on, we might be able to turn the tide!"
"Wait, how is this possible?"
All of a sudden, the smile on Zhang Zhenhai's face instantly froze, almost turning him into a statue!
... "A bunch of useless creatures!"
In the sky, the purple Flood Dragon circled erratically, with strange energy erupting from his body from time to time.
Muffled thuds continuously echoed in the sky.
And these strange energies caused patches of dark clouds to emerge in the sky, followed by thunder and lightning, and strong winds.
The weather, after all, had changed.
Splash β β
A sudden, severe downpour began to advance with the sea beasts.
This was the method the Dragon King devised for his sea beast army after seeing the situation, and it proved effective.
Nourished by the rain, the sea beasts, which had been somewhat dispirited, immediately became as fierce as if they had been injected with adrenaline, regaining their initial ferocity!
Seeing this, the Dragon King couldn't help but curve his lips, seemingly murmuring, "If not for this King being here, you all would not have completed the great plan!"
"This... how is this possible?"
The Naval soldiers had originally seen hope; those seemingly endless sea beasts finally showed a chance of being repelled, but this heavy downpour instantly extinguished the flame in their hearts and brought despair, "I never expected this legendary Flood Dragon to be able to Summoning Wind and Rain to such an extent!"
"Can humanity still contend with such supernatural power?"
Half an hour can be very short, as short as the duration of a game.
But half an hour can also be very long, especially for the soldiers on the Eastern Sea Defense Line; this was the longest and most difficult final stretch of their lives.
In just half an hour, the Eastern Navy fell, almost completely annihilated!
Rumble β β
On the coastal defense line, long-range missile aid from the land military region continuously arrived, but it had almost no effect.
The power of this group of sea beasts was simply too great; even if a gap was blasted open, more sea beasts swarmed in.
The ground was densely packed, almost unbearable to look at.
Moreover, coupled with the current stormy weather, often a single sea beast could withstand several missile bombardments without falling!
For the sea beasts, the difference with or without water was significant!
"Nami's aura!"
In the high sky, the purple Flood Dragon was Summoning Wind and Rain, helping his subordinate sea beasts attack the human defense line, while also sensing an aura. Finally, he roared up to the sky in delighted surprise towards a certain direction, "It seems to be over there!"
After he confirmed it repeatedly, he finally made it clear, and without delay, he let out a dragon's roar, directly issuing an order to all sea beasts, "Follow this King!"
"Roarβ"
In an instant, the highly emotional sea beasts all charged directly towards Yunzhou!
