Chapter 1243, Reinforcements

The Key Gate was destroyed, but tens of thousands of old, young, women and children had yet to retreat.

Zero gave the Northwest Army three minutes to evacuate the crowd, but the problem is that these tens of thousands of people are in the vicinity of the Key Gate, three minutes is too tight, there will always be omissions.

After the explosion, Big Lulu immediately counted the casualties, and then realized that in this missile bombardment, there were hundreds of people injured by shrapnel and debris alone.

There were also hundreds of Northwest Army soldiers responsible for evacuating the crowd who were injured and killed in action.

Everyone hadn’t seen this coming, and the fact that the Keygate was gone meant that these old, young, women and children would have to make their way to Fortress 178 on foot again.

And the most critical problem was that this group itself was the slowest in terms of mobility, there were women holding children, there were old people who had trouble walking, Big Kudos was worried for a while and his hair was almost white.

Zhang Xiaoman heard the explosions elsewhere in the barrier and rushed back in a hurry, “What’s going on?”

Big Huyao muttered, “Wang’s missile force’s range is not too far, which means that they are already close to us, and it is too late to evacuate …… now.”

P5092, who was originally working on the battle plan, also rushed over, and Zhang Xiaoman looked at him and asked, “Can those vehicles requisitioned by the 6th Field Division be used to send these people to retreat?”

However, P5092 calmly shook his head, “No, the 6th Field Division has those vehicles in order to have enough mobility. These old people and children won’t pose much of a threat even if they are controlled by the AI, after all, their physical functions are far from being able to withstand the intensity of the war. Instead, it’s more important for us to preserve the combat capable troops now.”

Zhang Xiaoman was anxious, “But those are children and old people, we can’t just watch them walk to their deaths on the road, I’m afraid that with their speed, they will be caught up by the AI in two days!”

“That won’t work either,” P5092 said in a cold voice, “War is war, the Major is not here, as the Supreme Commander of the 6th Field Division, I can never use my feelings and morals as a standard of judgment, I only have one standard of judgment, and that’s how to make the war victorious. ”

Zhang Xiaoman was dumbfounded, everyone knew that P5092 was right, but they were somewhat emotionally unable to accept it.

P5092 glanced at the chaotic military control area, “You guys hurry up and restore order here, organize them to evacuate on foot, I’m going to continue working on the battle plan.”

With that, P5092 turned around and headed back to the command headquarters, as if these crying refugees had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Xiaoman muttered, “Cold blooded ……”

Da Huyao glanced at him, “Actually, his decision wasn’t wrong.”

Zhang Xiaoman sighed, “I also know that he is not wrong, from a military perspective, I agree with him, it’s just that it’s hard to feel in my heart, but I hope that the AI advances a little slower.”

……

In the outpost east of Barrier 144, Zhou Yingxue moved a wooden chair and sat at the entrance of the outpost, lazily basking in the sun.

She was seen squinting her eyes and humming if anything in her voice.

Under her feet, several branches of vines extended out dozens of kilometers into the distance.

These vines were not dense, and Zhou Yingxue was only using them as a means of scouting.

Although Zhou Yingxue’s vines were enough to engulf a barrier, the problem was that the scope of detection was too large, and she had to sacrifice the density of the wall-crawlers in exchange for the coverage area.

These wall-crawlers snaked across the ground like the veins of a giant leaf, and there was a strange beauty to them as they looked down from the sky.

What made Zhou Yingxue a bit unhappy was that the 144th Barrier side seemed to be very busy, and no one even came to bring her food yesterday.

Zhou Yingxue used the outpost’s line to call back to complain, only to be warned by P5092 not to occupy the communication line, and that the outpost had to remain silent until the enemy was detected.

Otherwise, every time Zhou Yingxue called everyone would be nervous for a while, thinking that the enemy had already arrived.

However, right at this moment, Zhou Yingxue suddenly stood up from her chair.

Dozens of kilometers away, a wave of people suddenly surged towards the area covered by the wall-crawler.

Zhou Yingxue wasn’t a small character to be taken advantage of now, she tried to use the wall-crawlers to attack those waves of people, but the density of the wall-crawlers wasn’t enough at all now, so much so that before the wall-crawlers were able to kill a few people, that wave of people tore the wall-crawlers’ blockade to shreds.

After encountering the wall-crawlers, the enemy suddenly marched in three directions, marching towards the 144th, 145th, and 146th barriers respectively, and their numbers were feared to be in the millions.

Zhou Yingxue frowned, her mission was to scout, not kill the enemy.

Ren Xiaosu had also made it clear before she left the outpost that although she was very powerful now, this enemy today was not something that any Transcendent could win alone, so she only needed to report on the enemy situation and did not need to resist.

Zhou Yingxue turned around and went into the house to dial up the communication line, “The enemy is here, there are still 67 kilometers from the outpost, and now they are splitting into three roads heading in three directions.”

After saying that, Zhou Yingxue quickly gathered the wall crawlers and then fled in the direction of Barrier 144.

Inside the ledge, Big Snob was originally listening to anxiousness, but as a result, now that Zhou Yingxue had reported the enemy situation, he had instead calmed down a lot.

It was useless to be anxious, everyone could only think of countermeasures.

P5092 said to Big Snub: “The 6th Field Division is responsible for guerrilla warfare to delay the enemy, your side lead everyone to evacuate as soon as possible, the 6th Field Division can’t hold out for too long.”

Big lull asked, “How long can it last, the post is still more than a hundred kilometers away from Barrier 144, with the AI’s traveling speed, a day and a half …… or two days at the latest will be able to catch up with the refugees’ team.”

P5092 said, “I can’t guarantee you how long the 6th Field Division can hold out, and you know very well what kind of enemy we’re facing right now. All the Sixth Field Division can do is to ensure that the refugees who left before are not caught up, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to hold out too much hope for the group that’s stranded now.”

In fact, P5092’s meaning was very clear, this batch of old, young, women and children now stranded at Barrier 144 were unlikely to survive.

The great luminary sighed, was there really no other way?

However, right at this moment, XunYiYu suddenly ran out from the barracks shouting, “No good no good, there is a group of enemies that are diagonally entering my sensing area from the northeast, I feel that there are afraid to be thousands of Transcendents inside.”

Everyone froze, didn’t the Major say that this AI shouldn’t be able to control the Transcendents, why did so many suddenly appear?

And the thing is, the entire Barrier Alliance doesn’t have this many Transcendents, right?

Zhang Xiaoman said to XunYiYu, “Don’t be so shocked, can you, in the end, have you sensed it clearly, how can there be so many Transcendents?”

“My senses are definitely not wrong,” XunYiYu said, “The thousands of Transcendents escorting tens of thousands of ordinary people are rapidly and furiously running over, I feel that it will only take four hours for them to arrive here at our barriers. Nope, there’s another Transcendent who’s particularly fast, he broke away from the large army and came over here alone.”

“Coming over alone?” Big Flicker wondered, what is this doing here?

P5092 suddenly said, “Maybe this will be a turnaround for things.”

He turned around and got his soldiers to drive, and a group of people greeted the other side in the direction they were arriving, and P5092 suddenly felt that this sudden arrival was not an enemy, but a friend.

P5092 said, “Do you guys remember that we also encountered this kind of situation when we were in Zuoyun Mountain, at that time, everyone thought that it was thousands of Transcendents coming.”

The big luminary’s eyes lit up, “You mean the wolves of the one on the grassland?!”

“That’s right,” P5092 nodded.

A few tens of minutes later, only to see Hassan on the wilderness was riding a warhorse to the crowd, the horse was as tall as a dark cloud and looked divine and extraordinary.

Big lulu had heard people say that the warhorses on the grasslands were all evolved, and if this kind of warhorse was mated with a Chinese warhorse, the Chinese warhorse would have a hard time giving birth.

Only to see Hassan sitting on the back of the horse and said in a loud voice: “I came to report by the order of the master, the rear by the wolves drove tens of thousands of war horses and cattle, to give you as a means of transportation. The master has said that you should be in a hurry now as to how to retreat.”
