The situation briefing continues.

Everyone remained seated, listening as the Inspector Han, who had come to provide support, continued speaking.

After thwarting that beast tide, Bedrock City discussed possible next steps.

It is highly likely that the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast be mobilized from other Anchor Point before attacking Bedrock City.

To this end, they devised a detailed ambush strategy and implemented it.

Its main content involves selecting several Anchor Point and Eye of Earth Marrow closest to Bedrock City based on their distance, and then searching in that direction for suitable and feasible...

As he listened to the detailed explanation, Wang Yuanshan slowly rubbed his fingertips together.

He was considering what conditions were needed to complete this plan.

First, to accomplish this plan, we must at least come up with a corresponding plan.

That's hard to say. While thinking about the aftermath of a war is something every general might need to do, whether they can even come up with it is another matter entirely.

Secondly, there was the mobilization of resources and the replenishment of personnel.

This is not difficult; every general will be given priority in post-war arrangements.

It doesn't require much effort; you just need to arrange for someone to take inventory, report, and then apply to the base. It's not difficult at all.

The real problem lies in the execution of the plan.

One time period, one troop strength.

In terms of timing, the plan should be conceived and refined immediately after the war, followed by the immediate deployment of personnel and execution.

The total time is very limited.

If the Calamity Beast are fast enough and gather first, this plan will be useless.

Secondly, there is the issue of troop strength.

The troops refer not only to their own side, but also to the Calamity Beast.

To determine how many Calamity Beast might appear on each path, and how many troops and ammunition you need to send out, you need to eliminate them relatively safely!

"Six ambush points! Old General Zhou Old General Zhou lives up to his reputation; he's still going strong despite his age! If it were me, I'd only allow three at most, right?"

Wang Yuanshan silently praised her, then shifted his gaze to the girl who was still speaking.

"But this time it's not simple either, they actually dared to send out their main force..."

Everyone listened in silence.

When they heard that the attack had killed nearly 30,000 Calamity Beast, they instinctively exchanged glances.

"No... is it possible to kill so many Calamity Beast in a single battle?"

Wang Hu's expression grew increasingly serious.

Finally, the briefing is coming to an end.

Han Ling looked at everyone and calmly said:

"... In short, after the attack, our Bedrock City shouldn't be attacked by the Calamity Beast again for a while, so they sent us here to see if we can be of any help."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the command room.

An officer asked,

"The problem now is, we don't know if the Calamity Beast will come?"

"Yes!" another officer replied.

"We don't know if the Calamity Beast will come, but in any case..." Han Ling paused, looking at the two officers, "If the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast comes, then we can help defend against Calamity Beast; if it doesn't come, then after staying for a while, we will leave and return to Bedrock City."

The officer fell silent.

That's what they say, but wouldn't that mean all their comrades' support would have been for nothing?

He tried to think of a way to get the Calamity Beast to attack their Chongshan City, but it seemed there was no way.

After all, how could they possibly decide which city the Calamity Beast would attack?

Thinking of this, the officer couldn't help but smile wryly.

Before, we hoped the Calamity Beast wouldn't come; now we actually hope Calamity Beast do!

Wang Yuanshan ignored them, raised his gaze to Han Ling, and confirmed:

" Inspector Han, you just said that your ambush a few days ago killed nearly 30,000 Calamity Beast, is that right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Han Ling turned her gaze over.

"So that means that after the Calamity Beast learn about the situation in the city, they might send even more Calamity Beast over?" Wang Yuanshan murmured to himself.

"According to the commander and the captain, that's right!" Han Ling replied, then confirmed, " Chongshan City has only experienced one attack by the Calamity Beast so far, is that right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Wang Hu said, arms crossed. "The nearby Anchor Point did send Calamity Beast to harass us at first, but there's only been one large-scale Calamity Beast attack so far."

Han Ling nodded slightly, confirming that she had not misremembered.

As if remembering something, Wang Yuanshan looked up at Han Ling again.

" Inspector Han, if the Calamity Beast were to actually attack our Chongshan City, how many do you think Calamity Beast would be?"

Han Ling lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "The number should also be around 30,000!"

"Oh? Why?" Wang Yuanshan asked.

"This number is enough to reliably destroy our cities without deploying too many Calamity Beast, which would mean only one force can attack the cities we've established in various locations," Han Ling explained clearly. "After all, if only one Calamity Beast is active, conquering our cities will be far too slow!"

"Indeed, one beast tide is too slow, two isn't very efficient either, and three would be barely acceptable!" Wang Yuanshan agreed.

The Erosion Zone is too large; if the Calamity Beast want to move, they will have to waste a lot of time on the road.

If only one horde of beasts were attacking them, the first city would probably be rebuilt before the third city even fell.

"So do you think we can handle the 30,000 Calamity Beast?" Wang Yuanshan asked.

Han Ling paused for a moment, then said:

"If there really are that many Calamity Beast, even including those of us who came to help, successfully resisting Calamity Beast won't be easy!"

"Yes, that's right!" Wang Yuanshan nodded slowly, "Thirty thousand, and we only have less than seven thousand on our side..."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.

Seven thousand, that's thirty thousand!

They struggled to resist even when there were fewer than 20,000 Calamity Beast, let alone the ones that followed...

"No matter how many, just fight!" Wang Hu suddenly said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked over.

Han Ling glanced at it, then looked away.

Wang Yuanshan smiled.

"Indeed, no matter how many, we will have to fight the Calamity Beast, and we won't be completely without a chance, just a smaller one!"

He paused for a moment, then said:

"Compared to this, I'm more worried about another issue."

Everyone looked over.

Han Ling also looked over.

"What are you talking about?" an officer asked.

Wang Yuanshan frowned slightly, his gaze serious and worried as he said:

"I wonder how much longer it will take before the Calamity Beast can regroup and close their defenses as we planned."

"If this continues, the sacrifices we'll have to make each month..."
