Within its former projection range, the Great Wall had been torn open by an irreparable breach, currently blocked by the forest barrier formed from Beltira.

The speed and scale at which the Aberrant legions are pouring out of the wasteland have been effectively contained," Philip reported grimly from the Holographic Projection. "However, there should still be many sizable breaches along the entire barrier. Aside from sections completely destroyed like Tower 98, some areas are suffering from reduced output, contracted projection ranges, misaligned connections, and similar issues.
