Chapter 2674 We Must Hold Out
The attack injured and killed quite a significant amount of soldiers, much to the horror of Craig and the others.
Before they could even respond, more Leviathans had shown up at the scene.
Lab of Gods had sent about seven to eight hundred Leviathans there because that location was their key target.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Leviathans were sent to attack other cities and bases in groups of hundreds.
At that moment, the Leviathans from all over the world had gathered in Erudia and slowly marched their way into the country.
Staring at the seemingly endless sea of Leviathans, Craig and the others were really starting to panic.
“Set up forward operating bases again! Provide covering fire with everything you’ve got! We need to call in air support! Also, get the civilians behind us to safety! The farther they are from us, the better! We must protect this defense barrier and hold out until backup arrives! If they get past this defense barrier, all of Erudia will be theirs to take! I want another base set up about sixty miles behind us! That’ll be our final line of defense!”
Realizing the importance of defending the area, Craig ordered his men to guard it with their lives.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
This time, they made sure to use everything available at their disposal.
Fighter jets too had been mobilized and carpet-bombed the area just like the first invasion of the shoreline.
In order to buy the soldiers more time to set up their defensive bases, they rained down countless bombs on the Leviathans, each one with terrifying destructive power capable of leveling the land.
Buzz!
To their surprise, a bright energy barrier formed around the bodies of the Leviathans.
Boom!
Boom!
The power from the bombs was completely nullified by the energy barrier, so the Leviathans received no damage at all.
Even if the bombs managed to destroy the energy barrier, the Leviathans’ scales were so tough that they wouldn’t be injured by the carpet-bombing anyway.
To make matters worse, the Leviathans were smart enough to gather together and interlock their energy barriers, making it a lot more difficult to hurt them.
This was the result of Erudia’s weaponry and strategies being exposed.
Lab of Gods was able to devise countermeasures based on the information obtained, so no amount of destructive power would do Erudia any good.
Unaffected by the carpet-bombing, the Leviathans continued marching forward amid the explosions.
“What the…”
Everyone began to freak out when they saw that the carpet-bombing strategy wasn’t working.
Levi was right about it being an unstoppable disaster, but nobody believed him at the time.
They thought they would be able to stop the enemy forces easily with their mechas, but the Leviathans were completely unharmed by their weaponry.
“Sir, we can’t hold them off! They’re less than a mile away from us now!” exclaimed one of the soldiers anxiously.
“Shall Suicide Squad join in the battle? We could help to buy some time!” asked the leader of Suicide Squad.
“No, you guys should only join after we find out what their weakness is! That’s the only way for your team to maximize your efficiency. Sending you guys in now would just be a waste of resources and manpower. Mobilize all men in Mecha Corps! I want everyone to coordinate their attacks with them! We must hold out until The Cardinal Hall and Eragon arrive!” Craig commanded.
With that, Mecha Corps sent every single one of their mechas and mechanical beasts to the frontlines.
