Chapter 132 Chain Reaction
The commander of the Icefield Defense Group was completely stunned.
They were about to break out and escape, but the sudden intensification of space-time activities caused a sudden increase in the number of space-time creatures outside the Lishan Technology Field Base, adding many variables to their escape.
Although this operation has failed, if the breakout is successful, at least the manpower of this unit can be preserved. Even if Lishan Technology and Icefield Defense Group argue afterwards, there is still room for maneuver.
But if they are unable to escape, it means that the entire army will be wiped out, which is a loss that the Icefield Defense Group absolutely cannot afford!
The commander immediately shouted, "Everyone, break out immediately at all costs!"
These soldiers of the Icefield Defense Group also saw their situation clearly and launched a frantic attack on the space-time creatures in the wild. They were even so crazy that they completely ignored the firepower of the soldiers of the Lishan Technology Enterprise Army.
In their eyes, these soldiers of Lishan Technology Enterprise Army are much more terrifying than space-time creatures!
Although the space-time creatures were extremely deadly, they were basically just a group of life forms without independent consciousness. Although fighting against space-time creatures was dangerous, it was still within the common sense and understanding of these soldiers.
However, these soldiers of the Lishan Technology Enterprise Army are obviously human beings, but what they do is more terrifying than simple machines or space-time creatures.
The fear brought by a group of people who completely disregard life and death is much stronger than that brought by space-time creatures!
But their final breakout was obviously too late. As the space-time activities suddenly intensified, the space-time rifts became more and more numerous, and high-level space-time creatures in the wild also appeared in large numbers.
These space-time creatures gathered into an unstoppable tide of space-time beasts. The black torrent that covered the mountains and plains completely engulfed the special forces of the Icefield Defense Group.
However, Zhang Sirui did not look very excited, because after the space-time beast tide engulfed this army, the next target would be Lishan Technology's field base.
But what surprised him was that although the beast tide composed of these space-time creatures continued to approach Lishan Technology's field base, they did not actually launch an attack.
They suddenly changed their pace in unison and headed towards the battlefield between the Spacetime Knights and the Corporate Alliance Army in the distance!
Zhang Sirui was stunned for a moment. "Could it be that the priests of the Spacetime Knights used some kind of ritual or method to attract all these spacetime creatures to the battlefield to become their helpers?"
"Also, the sudden intensification of the space-time activity is a bit abnormal. The previous space-time activity was forcibly launched by the Space-Time Knights. It should have been almost time. Why did it suddenly become more terrifying?"
Zhang Sirui still has many questions in his mind, but these questions obviously cannot be answered for the time being.
Although most of the space-time creatures have changed direction and rushed to the battlefield between the Space-Time Knights and the Corporate Alliance Army, there are still many small beast tides composed of low-level space-time creatures wandering around aimlessly and attacking the defense line of the Lishan Technology Field Base.
The outer defense line of the field base had been severely damaged by the corporate army of the Icefield Defense Group before, so Zhang Sirui did not dare to take it lightly. He commanded the soldiers to resist the tide of time and space beasts to ensure the safety of the field base.
…
At the same time, the frontal battlefield between the Space-Time Knights and the Corporate Alliance Army.
The battle has entered a fierce stage, and the corporate coalition army is firing wildly at the space-time creatures all over the mountains. The ground troops form a three-dimensional attack formation around the floating fortress in the sky and the combat floating vehicles that keep flying out, trying to break into the last line of defense of the Space-Time Knights.
Originally, the Spacetime Knights had been forced to switch from offense to defense. The spacetime activities and high-level spacetime creatures they summoned at the beginning failed to tear through the defense line of the Corporate Alliance Army, and were instead suppressed by the Corporate Alliance Army through sophisticated equipment and powerful firepower.
Tours was confident of winning this battle. To him, the Enterprise Alliance Army was far superior to the Space-Time Knights in terms of equipment and pre-war preparations. Even if there were some minor setbacks, it would not affect the final result.
But just when he saw that the Time and Space Knights were about to collapse, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred!
First, two hovercrafts that flew from Dawn City told him a shocking news: the Space-Time Knights had actually deployed a mysterious force in Dawn City and launched an attack on the Dawn City Council.
Dawn City was caught off guard and asked Tours to send reinforcements immediately.
In fact, according to the current situation, the Dawn City Council has not been fundamentally damaged. It's just that a troop of the Spacetime Knights broke into the Dawn City Conference Building, and they should be wiped out soon.
But after much consideration, Tours decided to symbolically send a troop back to reinforce.
The reason is simple: First, they don't know the real strength of the Time and Space Knights in Dawn City. Maybe this force is just a feint. What if the corporate alliance army lets down their guard and there will be a more terrible attack?
Second, even if the Space Knights did not have any follow-up reinforcements, Tours, as the highest commander of the corporate coalition army on the front line, must set an example and send a troop back to reinforce and make a gesture.
If he does nothing, there will probably be a lot of trouble later.
For the corporate coalition forces, the council headquarters in Dawn City cannot be lost.
Tours had no other choice.
Of course, it is impossible for Tours to completely abandon the front battlefield. The troops he retained on the front battlefield are still enough to annihilate the main force of the entire Space-Time Knights.
But then, things started to go wrong.
Tours originally thought that the troops sent to the Lishan Technology Field Base could return quickly. After all, as a new consortium that developed Mewtwo, Lishan Technology should not have a strong base of armed forces.
But this team is completely out of time.
This means that something is likely to have happened to them.
Although the number of troops was not large, even if all of them were lost on the battlefield, it would not be a big deal. But the problem was that this unit was carrying out a special mission, and their actions violated the "Special Law on Enterprises".
If anything happens to this unit and Lishan Technology finds evidence of it, the Icefield Defense Group will be in a very passive position.
This incident also made Tours a little uneasy.
At this moment, the space-time activity that was about to subside not only did not end, but suddenly became more intense. Even the time snow falling from the sky turned into black, high-density space-time matter!
This is obviously good news for the members of the Spacetime Knights . Not only will these people not be injured by the spacetime matter, but they can gain strength from it.
But for the corporate coalition army, it is completely different.
Most soldiers' protective clothing is designed to protect against time snow, and cannot protect against corrosion from high-density space-time matter. After all, the cost of such protective clothing is too high, and it is impossible to equip every ordinary soldier.
In order to save costs and ensure cost-effectiveness, the shells of many light infantry fighting vehicles have very limited ability to resist corrosion from this high-concentration space-time matter.
The protective power of heavy tanks and floating fortresses is certainly sufficient, but the corporate coalition army cannot rely solely on these heavy equipment to fight.
What’s worse is that the sudden intensification of space-time activities has led to an increase in the number of space-time creatures.
Several high-ranking priests of the Spacetime Knights have the ability to control spacetime creatures on a large scale. The spacetime creatures they originally summoned by creating spacetime activities have been exhausted, and they have no chance even if they want to fight to the death.
However, the sudden intensification of space-time activities has led to a large-scale increase in wild space-time creatures. These priests can use their last bit of strength to drive the tide of space-time beasts to launch a counterattack against the corporate army.
This change brought about a major change in the morale of both sides. It was obvious that the soldiers on the side of the Corporate Alliance had become somewhat confused. They were already panicked when they saw the tide of space-time beasts coming back; while the knights and priests of the Space-Time Knights were full of excitement, they had a sense that it was their destiny.
Tours also had an ominous premonition in his heart, but at this time he had no way out.
If they were fighting with other corporate armies, as long as they offered enough benefits, both sides could reach a truce. After all, the corporate armies were backed by the consortium, and as long as the benefits were enough, anything could be negotiated.
But the people of the Space-Time Knights were a bunch of complete lunatics. If Tours lost this battle, they would definitely be eaten up by the Space-Time Knights, leaving nothing behind.
Turles gritted his teeth and ordered, "Send out the supervision team, everyone must defend the front line at all costs, no one can retreat a single step, otherwise you will be punished by military law!"
…
At this time, in the Dawn City Council Building, the summoning ceremony of Grantham and the other two priests was almost completed.
A space-time rift is gradually forming, and space-time creatures can be vaguely seen stirring behind the rift.
However, the defense of the Space-Time Knights has basically reached its limit. The police officers of the Corporate Alliance Army and DCPD have cleared the entire building step by step and surrounded the conference room. They may issue a general attack order at any time.
The two priests, Meredith and Ferdinand, were not in good condition. The time and space ritual they summoned was very exhausting for themselves.
"What exactly is the final arrangement? Can you tell me now?"
The two priests stared at Grantham as if they wanted to eat him alive.
They vaguely felt that they seemed to have been cheated, and cheated badly!
If the two priests still had a little hope before, now that last bit of hope no longer exists.
The corporate coalition forces are about to break in. Even if the ritual is completed, the summoned space-time creatures will not be enough to kill so many corporate coalition forces.
What's more, they don't have the ability to teleport. Even if they can rush out of the parliament building, there are tight nets outside and it will still be a dead end.
Previously, the two priests still had hope, mainly because they felt that Grantham had no reason to risk his life. There was always a way out, but now it seemed that Grantham would also have to die here.
Grantham, controlled by Chen She, smiled slightly.
Now it’s almost okay. I’ll stop pretending and let’s get down to business.
Yes, that's right. We brought you and the Time and Space Knights here so that you can fight the Corporate Alliance and DCPD to a mutual defeat, so that you won't harm civilians again.
Of course, Chen She would not really say these words, there was no need.
Now it's basically the last moment, nothing matters anymore, the corporate coalition forces will rush in soon.
Chen She had already thought it through. When the last moment came, he would let Grantham's clone rush into the time rift to create the illusion of suicide and prevent the corporate coalition army from discovering Grantham's abnormality.
After all, Chen She's servants would disintegrate and turn into space-time particles when they died, which was very different from normal death. Chen She didn't want the corporate coalition army to capture this information.
By then the Cartel will think Grantham is dead.
Chen She can create Granser as a servant again and continue to stay in the Knights of Spacetime. Then he can make up a reason for escaping death and make up a story based on Epsilon's knowledge of the spacetime world. It should be able to fool them.
With a loud bang, the door of the conference room was opened, and the corporate coalition army finally launched the final attack.
Chen She was about to control Grantham to rush into the rift, but was blocked by the surging space-time creatures.
This space-time rift seemed to be much larger than he had expected, and the space-time creatures in the rift surged in. Whether in terms of number or energy fluctuations, the level was much higher than expected!
Chen She was a little puzzled. What was going on?
Even if the three priests joined forces, they consumed a lot of space-time particles to summon space-time rifts, and at most they could only summon space-time creatures with level 5 energy fluctuations. Now they were not in the wilderness, but in Dawn City to summon space-time activities, where there were a lot of space-time activity inhibitors. They could not communicate smoothly with the space-time world and could not summon so many space-time substances.
But now, the energy fluctuation level of this space-time rift is obviously higher than level 5!
Moreover, in terms of quantity, the space-time creatures that emerged from the rifts were far more than expected.
The other two priests were also stunned. It was obvious that they had not expected this situation at all.
They had not originally held much hope for this space-time rift, thinking that even if they could rely on the space-time creatures in the rift to resist for a while, it would not be of much significance as they would be wiped out sooner or later.
But now these space-time creatures came out in droves, forming a black torrent. Not only did they mess up the formation of the corporate coalition army, but they also continued to rush out of the parliament building, creating extreme chaos!
The two priests couldn't help but look at Grantham in surprise.
Could this be the back-up plan that Grantham was talking about?
If this space-time rift can maintain this state, with space-time creatures spreading out continuously, then the three priests can take advantage of the chaos and escape from the encirclement of the corporate army!
