Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 140 Reinforcements

"Wow!"

Upon seeing the collapsing energy barrier, the person inside the mech couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Quick! Mech squad, follow me and engage! Open fire at will!" The mech squad leader's voice came through the squad channel.

Then, the five mechs quickly took off and rushed towards the seaside.

And they even fired at the giant jellyfish.

However, the small missiles they launched were either destroyed by its tentacles or detonated by its sonic attacks.

No one can truly get close to it.

Even they, once they are a certain distance away, will be attacked by tentacles and sound waves.

Although they were able to break the tentacles, there were simply too many of them. The unpredictable sonic cannons not only caused physical impacts but also made them feel dizzy and nauseous.

"I now feel that this neural sensing ability has some drawbacks." A mech warrior had just dodged a tentacle's entanglement and was trying to sever it.

But the next moment, he was hit by a sonic cannon and his body tilted to the side.

Two tentacles, which had been lying in wait, came together to bind him.

A blue energy barrier lit up, blocking the attack.

He took the opportunity to switch his dual-arm mechs to machine gun mode and continuously attacked in all directions, clearing a path to rejoin his teammates.

At this moment, the message has already been relayed back to the capital base.

"A high-level level one beast king, is it really that powerful?" A general frowned, this was different from the information they had received before!

"Is it possible that those beast kings were simply 'forced to mature' under special environmental conditions, and that they are subject to certain restrictions...?" A general seemed to have thought of something.

His reminder made the others realize that, apart from the Heavenly Crystal Pool at White Ginseng Mountain, there seemed to be some direct one-on-one combat records.

In other areas, they relied on the attack range and patterns of the Guardian Energy Beast King to find corresponding loopholes and then figure out how to break through the ruins' defense system.

Then, it seemed as if the strength of those guardian beast kings had 'decreased,' and they were quickly overwhelmed and killed.

Thinking about it that way, it really is possible!

"We must provide reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise Jingkou Port will be indefensible!" another general said anxiously.

"The withdrawn troops..."

"With their firepower, do you think they can pose a threat to that beast king?"

"Artillery barrage, prepare for a second missile strike!"

"The former is possible, but the latter may not be effective."

"Let's take action first and send the mech teams from the capital to provide support. This is our first time facing a high-level Beast King, and it's also a good opportunity to test the actual combat capabilities of our mech teams!" Finally, an old general made a solemn conclusion.

Capital Mech Team Camp.

Inside a room, Qiao Yuwei looked at Leng Yue in her military uniform and shook her head. "I told you, you don't have to be like this. You're quite capable. Just follow me..."

"By working on a few research projects with you and having my name attached, I can receive protection as a senior researcher at the capital base."

I know what I'll face if I do this." She smiled slightly and declined Qiao Yuwei's offer again.

"Breaking news: A Beast King, a high-level Tier 1 beast, has appeared in Jingkou Port."

"You guys, I'm afraid you'll have to go..." Before Qiao Yuwei could finish speaking, Leng Yue received a message from the team.

"You're right, we need to go and provide support. I have to go." After saying that, Leng Yue went to get her equipment and prepared to leave.

"You are a scientist. You should be in a laboratory, or at the very least, working as a maintenance and testing technician in a factory."

"Going to the battlefield like this, facing unknown dangers, is really playing with your life and abilities!" Qiao Yuwei stood in front of her.

"You've already persuaded Bai Zhou and Yan Chi, haven't you?" Leng Yue patted her shoulder, indicating that she had 'completed her mission'.

After all, in order to ensure her identity as a mecha pilot, she gave most of the credit to Bai Zhou and Yan Chi.

At most, I am just a "collaborative" producer who doesn't understand the underlying principles, rather than someone who has mastered the technology.

Therefore, to truly become a project leader, one still needs systematic learning and training.

On the contrary, one can join the mech team simply by serving as a rapid repairman.

"But this time is different. Those are high-level level one beast kings. Do you know how powerful they are!" Qiao Yuwei said anxiously. "Think about Wu Ou. If he comes back and finds out you've died in battle, or even been injured, he might..."

"That's enough!" Leng Yue put on her equipment. "This has nothing to do with him."

She walked to the door and said, "Since you have a key too, I'll be going now."

After leaving the room, she quickly ran to the meeting point.

"This mission is urgent, and everyone is heading to the front lines in mechs."

Note that this is different from previous battles. This time, you are facing a high-level level 1 Beast King, an unprecedentedly powerful enemy!

I hope everyone can come back alive.

Set off!"

Thirty mechs took off one after another, heading towards Jingkou Port.

Within minutes, the original positions at Jingkou Port were submerged by seawater.

In fact, only three of the five mechs remained.

One was captured by the jellyfish beast king, and the other was "severely injured" and had to retreat to rest.

The remaining three mechs weren't necessarily stronger; rather, the jellyfish beast king seemed to disregard their existence.

It will not actively "focus fire" on the three mechs unless an attack is launched against it.

That way, they are relatively "safe".

"When will the reinforcements arrive? They'll be at the Jingkou Port base gate in ten minutes at most!" the squad leader shouted.

"Reinforcements are on their way! The entire mech squadron from the capital has already set off! Hold on a little longer!"

The artillery position command center has now been transformed into a new frontline command post.

Faced with the approaching army of energy beasts, the soldiers kept firing, trying to slow down their advance.

This time, however, the powerful cannonballs were blocked by the hidden level 1 mid-level beast kings, preventing them from successfully killing a large number of low-level source energy beasts.

"Can the position hold for half an hour?" Looking at the massive shape, the artillery commander couldn't help but ask in a heavy tone.

"The energy cannons are ready, we can hold!" the infantry commander said firmly.

boom--

Several thick laser beams shot out from behind and above their heads, blasting towards the horde of beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the source energy beasts along the route were cleared out, and even the beast kings in the middle section of the route could not withstand them.

However, when it landed on the jellyfish king's tentacles, it only charred one tentacle, without actually breaking it.

But at least this gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

"Open fire! Use up all your bullets!" the infantry commander shouted immediately into the communications channel.

An even fiercer attack erupted, seemingly bringing the herd's advance to a halt.

But at that moment, everyone felt dizzy and lightheaded, and then a voice came through the communication channel.

"Oh no! A laser turret has been destroyed!"

"What?!" This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the frontline commanders with expressions of disbelief.

"Watch out, it's a sonic attack!"
