Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Inside the command center.

Some soldiers had blood on their foreheads, some had dislocated arms, and several were pinned down by fallen equipment and were groaning in pain.

"Medical team, prioritize saving lives! Seriously injured personnel must be immediately transported to the underground hospital!"

Zheng Jinren's military uniform had been torn open by the metal edge, and blood was flowing down his arm, but he didn't care about that and quickly said:

Has the second power supply loop been restarted?

"Just one last set of nodes!"

"Let the backup power take over directly, without waiting for the main loop."

"clear!"

"Immediately restore the command system and assess the battlefield situation!"

"yes!"

With orders issued in succession, the previously chaotic hall quickly resumed its normal operation.

Several staff officers dragged the fallen screen back onto the desktop and connected it to the main console using a spare interface.

Technicians disassembled the damaged casing and replaced the burnt-out wiring.

The communications soldiers carried their portable equipment to the backup equipment room and reconnected the broken links in the war zone.

Medical personnel rushed in through the side door and dragged the injured person to the wall to stop the bleeding and immobilize them.

At that moment, one of the staff officers suddenly realized something, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Commander Zheng..."

"explain."

"The oppressive aura... has vanished!"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The staff officer raised his hand and pressed it to his chest, as if worried that what he had just imagined was just his imagination.

"That oppressive feeling from before... is completely gone now."

The others then realized what was happening; they all sensed the change and exclaimed with delight:

"Yeah, it's gone, I'm normal again!"

"I couldn't breathe just now, that oppressive force was terrifying, it felt like I was about to die!"

"Do you think it could be because the demon god was blown up?"

"Definitely! Six antimatter bombs, it couldn't possibly survive!"

This is undoubtedly good news, but some people say:

"But that's not necessarily true. Maybe that guy got blown up and couldn't release his domain pressure, so he fled in a sorry state. We need to investigate more carefully to confirm."

"That's right, Kogas wasn't killed by the bomb before; it escaped."

The large screen gradually returned to normal.

Satellite images still cannot show the epicenter; nearby high-energy residue is interfering with optical equipment, leaving only a patch of constantly jumping white noise in the image.

Large areas of the epicenter nodes are also offline, with only a few devices buried in more distant areas still transmitting intermittent data.

"First backup power supply successfully taken over!"

"Communications at the Blue Star Command Center have been restored!"

"Dispatch an unmanned unit to scout the northwest outer city."

Zheng Jinren raised his head.

"All units, remember that the disappearance of a domain only means that the state of the target has changed."

Whether Aker is dead or not needs to be confirmed.

"Until the results are in, treat it as if the demon is still alive."

The staff officers in the hall responded in unison.

"yes!"

After a brief pause, information from the war zone began to be transmitted back.

The eastern defense line is still under attack from the demonic tide, and multiple cracks have appeared in the southern city wall. The space orbital platform reports that the plasma swarm is still attacking.

However, the reports from the northwest are the most noteworthy.

"Report!" An information soldier stood up.

"The northwest outer city defense zone has lost all signal, and the city wall structure has been confirmed to have disappeared."

"A huge crater appeared in the explosion area, and a large area of ​​the surrounding ground collapsed."

Zheng Jinren looked at the tactical map.

The area that was originally marked as the northwest city wall, armory, hangar, and repair workshop has been turned into a glaring ruin.

"continue."

"The Northwest Armory has received no response, and the machine depot and forward factory are also out of contact."

"All the unmanned equipment there, including combat robots, land-based artillery, armored vehicles, and fighter jets, has lost signal."

No one spoke in the hall.

That area is the first line of defense for Kona Air Base and also the base's weapons defense system.

It was originally tasked with intercepting the demonic tide, replenishing ammunition, and repairing combat units, but now, with the simultaneous detonation of six antimatter devices, all facilities have been wiped off the surface.

At this time, a wide gap had appeared in the defensive line to the northwest of Kona Base.

"What about those Pangu mechs?" Zheng Jinren asked.

The information soldier lowered his voice.

"All 100 unmanned Pangu satellites deployed have lost signal."

A collective gasp filled the command center.

"Three were lost during the previous aerial interception, and the ninety-seven that were just chased into the epicenter were so close that they are most likely destroyed."

This time, even Zheng Jinren remained silent for a moment.

One hundred unmanned Pangu ships are the most advanced weapons currently in Great Xia.

Each one embodies a wealth of materials, energy, and cutting-edge technology.

Now, however, they have all disappeared in the explosion.

Furthermore, it consumed six antimatter bombs.

The loss of any one of the base buildings, the advanced mechs, and the six antimatter bombs would rank among the highest in the history of war losses in Great Xia.

But no one was calculating the specific losses at the moment. The northwest was now a huge gap, and the demon army was right outside the gap.

Zheng Jinren quickly issued the order:

"Reassign unmanned legions from other regions to the northwest battlefield to guard the breach and prevent the demons from entering."

"Engineering robots and maintenance robots were deployed to establish temporary defensive positions and repair damaged facilities."

"Deploy all the backup defensive forces as well!"

As orders were issued, the base sprang into action once again.

The transport vehicle drove out of the base, carrying the modular turret towards the northwest.

The drone swarm took off from the hangar and entered the front-line airspace in three batches.

Construction machinery was deployed along the edge of the core base to prepare for the erection of temporary armored walls and positions on the outer city ruins.

"The satellite imagery has been restored!" a technician suddenly shouted.

The white noise on the big screen began to decrease.

The first thing to appear is a distorted horizon, followed by the gradual emergence of the terrain near the epicenter.

The city wall in the northwest no longer exists.

From the perspective of a high-orbit satellite, a huge crater several kilometers in diameter appeared on the ground, with its edges spreading irregularly in all directions. The nearby rock strata were completely altered by the high temperature and impact.

The once flat wasteland has been transformed into undulating black ruins.

The remaining flames flickered at the bottom of the crater, and a large amount of grayish-white dust floated in the air.

The demon army in the distance seemed stunned by the explosion, or perhaps terrified by the massive blast, and none of them dared to advance.

Without timely orders from the command center, these demons seemed unable to determine what to do next.

"The fighter jet formation has arrived over the northwest."

Another screen displays the battle situation.

Dozens of Great Xia fighter jets swept across the low sky, their belly doors opening simultaneously, and missiles trailing long plumes of flame as they fell toward the Demon Tide.

boom!

A series of explosions erupted among the demon horde.

Just as the liches were raising their shields in an attempt to reorganize their ranks, they were bombarded by multiple precision-guided munitions.

The swarm of small drones suppressed the nearby Winged Demons and Gargoyles.

The air formations repeatedly bombed along the outer edge, making room for ground search units.

At this moment, a brand-new unmanned Pangu mech flew in from the base, its thrusters spewing out blue-white flames, and arrived at the edge of the giant crater.
