Chapter 844: Battle of the Alps Spring (Part 1)

Plant's face was ugly because the war did not develop as he expected.

According to his original plan, the defenders in the base only needed to do one thing, that is - to hold on for three hours.

Reinforcements will arrive in three hours, and by then a Skrull god-level fresh force will join the battle, and the war trend will be reversed immediately!

But according to the current situation, the base is likely to be breached in less than three hours, so his face is so ugly.

In order to allow the defenders in the base to hold on for three hours, the Skrull Expeditionary Force had made a lot of preparations before.

At present, there are 3 seventh-level practitioners in the base and as many as 50 sixth-level practitioners.

Various defense facilities in the base, such as antimatter rail guns, laser beam generators, psychic beam emitters, etc., have been charged for a long time and can exert the greatest lethality.

Ranch calculated that if all defense facilities were turned to the maximum power at all costs, the base would have no problem holding on for three hours.

But who knows, this time the humans on Blue Star seem to be too fierce!

The overall strength of the Blue Star monks this time has increased several times compared to the last time.

The last time the Blue Star monks attacked the spring was about two months ago. At that time, except for Prime Minister Cao, there were only 5 people at the seventh level, and only 30 or 40 people at the sixth level.

But this time, there are as many as 9 people at the seventh level of Blue Star, Cat Morning Star, Su Yu, and Alice are all at the peak of the seventh level, and there are more than 200 sixth-level practitioners!

Moreover, the morale of the sixth-level practitioners of Blue Star is still abnormally high. On the one hand, they are angered by Plant's provocation just now, and on the other hand, they are also trying to obtain a higher spiritual energy quota.

The strength of the Blue Star monks is much stronger than expected, which is the fundamental reason for the failure of their plan this time.

...

For the Skrulls, the only good news may be that the magic power of Cat Morning Star is about to run out.

The energy consumed by the [Star Rainbow Focus] skill of Cat Morning Star is very terrifying.

Although the light spot created by this skill can explode twice the damage, the energy is not generated out of thin air. 75% of the extra double damage comes from the "accumulation effect" of the light spot, and the other 25% needs to be filled by Morning Star's own magic.

So after the light spot of [Star Rainbow Focus] exploded dozens of times, the cat Morning Star's mana was completely exhausted, and the Skrulls won some breathing time.

But even if Morning Star loses its combat effectiveness, the base defense cannot last too long. Plant in the sky knows what he must do.

The prism on Plant's mecha burst, temporarily forcing Prime Minister Cao to retreat.

Taking this opportunity, he used telepathy to contact the commander of the base-the seventh-level psychic Skat.

"Scart, according to the current situation, the base should not be able to hold for three hours. You notify the core members above the sixth level in the base to be ready to retreat at any time."

"Scart understands." The commander who was struggling to support the force field shield in the base replied.

Skat glanced at the aggressive Blue Star army in front of him, then glanced at the exhausted subordinates around him, and used voice transmission to convey orders to several key personnel around him.

Then he replied to Plant through voice transmission: "Lord Plant, I have issued an order and will immediately start the self-destruction program of the base.

When we abandon Base 0008, all the buildings and defensive weapons in the base will be automatically destroyed to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Blue Star people."

Plant praised: "Well, you did a good job."

Scart continued to ask questions: "Then Lord Plant, what should we do with officers and ordinary soldiers below the fifth level?"

"This..." Plant thought for a while and replied: "Let's do this. After the base falls, let them gather in the square, throw down their weapons and surrender. In order to make bullets for the Anti-Union Organization, the Blue Star people like to do something like "treat prisoners well."

After they surrender, find an opportunity to redeem them later."

"Understood."

After finishing the voice transmission communication with Plant, Commander Scart passed the order down through officers at all levels in turn.

But in the process of transmission, some unexpected accidents occurred.

The cultivators above the sixth level did not react much to the order. At this point in the war, they knew they couldn't hold out for three hours, and they were ready to run away.

Anyway, the base was not far from the space crack.

But the officers and soldiers of level 5 and below immediately exploded, and the noise continued.

Scat noticed the sudden riot in the army, so he asked the adjutant Lekumansk who had just returned to his side: "Lekumansk, what's going on with the army below?"

Lekumansk had just gone to investigate the cause of the riot, and immediately replied: "Commander, the army is unwilling to surrender to the Blue Star people, so there is great dissatisfaction after the order was issued."

"Unwilling to surrender? Impossible? What's the reason?" Commander Scat looked at the army below in disbelief.

Scat and the army in the base belong to the Renket Alliance. The biggest feature of the Renket Alliance soldiers is that they do things for money, and they are not as fearless as the soldiers of the Fiery Sun Empire.

To be honest, most soldiers join the army because of the high salary, and they don't think about "fighting to the death for honor" on the battlefield.

But now the soldiers actually refuse to surrender? What's going on? They shouldn't have such a strong will to fight, right?

Adjutant Lekumansk quickly explained: "Commander, the main reason for this is the error in the previous propaganda, which led to the soldiers' misunderstanding of surrender."

"What's wrong with the propaganda?"

"It's like this..." Adjutant Lekumansk spent a lot of time to explain the cause of this situation.

Commander Skat listened and finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that this was mainly due to propaganda errors.

Skat, Plant and other senior officers knew that the Blue Star people would not abuse prisoners, and there was no problem with surrendering, but ordinary soldiers didn't know!

The news that ordinary soldiers received on weekdays was "The Blue Star people especially like to humiliate prisoners", "Only half of the soldiers from the Blue Star prisoner-of-war camp can come out alive, and they are incomplete, missing arms and legs."

The soldiers saw such news every day, so of course they would refuse to surrender to the Blue Star humans, which is also the reason for the current unstable military morale.

With unstable military morale, combat effectiveness will naturally decline rapidly.

Su Yu and other Blue Star monks outside the force field shield didn't know what happened inside, but they all found that the Skrulls' defense ability had slightly decreased.

The Blue Star monks quickly seized this opportunity to launch a strong attack.

Su Yu took out the [Hozen War God Statue] that he had kept in the bottom of the box.

The powerful amplification was converted into a huge amount of damage, smashing cracks in the force field shield.
