Taking advantage of the Beastn being affected by the Spirit of Fear, Scarlet Begonia rapidly burst out of the pipeline, killing several Beastn soldiers along the way.
For her, Beastn soldiers plunged into fear had no ability to resist.
At the sa ti, she threw out grenades and automated turrets one after another, causing as much trouble for the Beastn as possible.
In fact, many Beastn had caused severe stampedes in the mist of the Spirit of Fear. The Beastn rushing over in response to the alarms were scattered by the frightened tide of their own kind. They simply couldn’t catch up with Scarlet Begonia.
When Scarlet Begonia and Little Drill Wind and the others t up, the chaos deep within the Bottom Nest was just being suppressed.
The team didn’t delay, imdiately detonating the bombs they had planted in advance. They obliterated that segnt of the pipeline node outright.
At the sa ti, the team moved quickly towards the upper levels. They knew that rely destroying a pipeline node was not enough to stop the Beastn. Safety lay only in returning to the surface.
By this mont, the Beastn legions were thoroughly enraged, countless Beastn motorcycles moving fast through the pipelines, pursuing the human investigation team.
In the dim tunnels, fierce combat erupted between humans and Beastn.
Fortunately, the team mbers were either human players or mbers of the Netherworld Marine Corps. Their superior quality repeatedly obstructed the pursuing Beastn.
anwhile, the giant city, upon receiving news about the Beastn, had already begun the evacuation of Bottom Nest residents and was assembling the defense army corps, preparing for the warfare against the Beastn.
At this mont, the populace within the giant city was panic-stricken. They were unclear about what was happening, only aware that a large number of troops were pouring into the city area, stationed outside every entrance to the Bottom Nest. It was uncertain whether a rebellion had broken out within the Bottom Nest or if soone was plotting a military coup.
And within the City Lord’s Mansion, the upper echelons of the giant city had gathered.
Under the City Lord’s watch, an ergency eting was initiated.
After confirming the reliability of the intelligence sources, they frowned and pondered.
"The Bottom Nest was originally established as our backup battlefield, its traits being easy to defend but hard to attack, and designed to withstand nuclear blasts, even considering water and gas attacks. The paths are so narrow that our tanks and armored vehicles can’t get in. There’s no support from air or artillery," a general spoke up, "To deal with the Bottom Nest, we can only rely on urban warfare! After evacuating the Bottom Nest residents, we should send in a large force to completely annihilate the Beastn!"
"Fighting urban warfare against the powerful Beastn without tanks and any support?" Another general scoffed, "A hundred thousand soldiers might go in and not even make a splash!"
The Beastn’s size and all their traits surpassed those of normal humans; they were born as a warrior race. Otherwise, they would not pose such a great threat in the void.
Compared to humans, they did not fear Chaos corruption because they all worshiped the Beastn Divinity.
Of course, if it were a terrestrial war, the defense force with its over half a million troops wouldn’t think much of an approximately thirty thousand-strong Beastn legion.
The Beastn could possibly touch the high walls if they managed to surge against the steel flood and countless shelling, and that would be with the protection of their Divinity.
But in situations without any tanks, armored vehicles, or support from the air or artillery,
it was going to be extrely difficult for humans to repulse the Beastn forces through urban warfare.
Not to ntion, the Beastn had been operating in the Bottom Nest for who knows how long and had even developed motorcycles specifically for Bottom Nest combat. The Bottom Nest was now the Beastn’s ho turf.
In such scenarios, humanity was at a total disadvantage.
Urban warfare was a at grinder on the battlefield, and even the most elite troops would be worn down if they engaged in it.
Entering the Bottom Nest for urban warfare against the Beastn, even if the Beastn forces could truly be eliminated, would result in horrific losses. Double? Triple?
That was a loss the giant city could not afford.
Not to ntion the traits of the Beastn. After eliminating this batch, who knew if more Beastn would appear in the Bottom Nest within a few months.
"That’s why my conclusion is to seal all the Bottom Nest entrances and trap all the Beastn inside," a general suggested, "At the sa ti, cut off all the vents and power equipnt. Suffocate them!"
"Ridiculous. They already have an army of over thirty thousand. Do they still depend on the giant city’s support for the Bottom Nest? And with their capabilities, even if we seal the Bottom Nest entrances, can’t they just dig their way out?" The previous general roared in fury, "If we let them continue to develop, fifty thousand, a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand! With so many Beastn, what will you fight with? We must eradicate the Beastn as soon as possible and carefully inspect the Bottom Nest for any Beastn spores. How can we allow others to sleep beside our couch?"
"You’re the one who wants to send your soldiers to their deaths! Urban warfare is out of the question!" The opposing general also instantly spat back in anger, "To eliminate such a number of Beastn in that kind of terrain, how many soldiers do you plan to draw away? Are we still managing the high walls of the giant city?"
"What’s your plan then?" The first speaking general looked sideways at the objector, "Seal the Bottom Nest and wait for the Beastn to suddenly dig out and catch us unaware? Miss Chen, the Minister of Military Industry, do you think this plan is reliable?"
The Minister of Military Industry spoke up, "Given the abilities of the Beastn, a purely physical blockade will be breached by them. It’s just a matter of ti."
"But we can’t have urban warfare! Unless we deploy those from the Eternal Army..." The general stopped mid-sentence, followed by a mont of silence.
Seconds later, everyone subconsciously skipped the topic of the ’Eternal Army.’
Both sides continued to express their opinions, the noise escalating in the conference room.
The other departnt heads remained silent because no matter which plan it was, there were risks involved.
