After sending Major Yao on reconnaissance, Colonel Yan started urgent preparations with his team.
"Good. Not only deploy the regiment, but also request a few more Radiant Moon Snow Mink Guards!"
"The three regiments in the base should prepare to mobilize quickly. Get the Pulse Stabilizing Pillars and Array Masters ready."
Just then, a sudden exclamation sounded.
"Report! Major Yao’s life signs are dropping rapidly... No, they’ve... they’ve disappeared!"
"What? Major Yao just left not long ago!"
The entire command camp was shocked. Colonel Yan immediately rushed to the life sign monitor.
On the screen, Major Yao’s life sign data had completely vanished, showing—[Deceased].
At such a close distance, the life sign monitor wouldn’t make a mistake!
Colonel Yan suppressed his shock and said solemnly, "Quick, check his last known location!"
Before the Lieutenant could finish, a strong alarm suddenly blared across the camp.
"Report, Colonel. An energy attack is approaching rapidly! 60 kilometers, 20 kilometers, 10 kilometers... It’s here!"
A violent explosion resonated throughout the base from the north!
A terrifying shockwave followed, cracking the walls of the command camp, nearly collapsing them!
This was despite the defense barrier provided by the city walls!
Inside the command camp, Colonel Yan and others quickly ascended to the northern wall.
At this moment, a huge twenty-meter diameter dent had appeared on the city wall, which used Level 4 Materials and several layers of Fifth Level Defense Barriers.
The wall was covered with dense, glass-like cracks, nearly being blown through in one hit!
The terrifying, ghostly green glow lingering on the wall signaled an energy level that could make anyone shudder.
Using Radiant Moon Level Spiritual Position for energy burning, followed by the Power of Soul enhancement; the attack’s power was truly terrifying!
"What a dreadful strike!"
Colonel Yan and another Major felt a chill in their hearts.
"Where are the wall guards?" Colonel Yan shouted. "What’s going on!"
A middle-aged man stumbled over, holding his head. "Colonel Yan, a terrifying green impact cannon just flew over!"
"What are the casualties?"
"The wall held. No one died, but many were injured or knocked out by the impact."
At this moment, an adjutant received information and his face changed. "Colonel, the Star Energy Detector has detected enemy personnel approaching. Numbers in the thousands, with at least five at Radiant Moon Level!"
"Five Radiant Moons, and over a thousand enemies. Where did they get such manpower!"
"This is outside the Eastern Battle Zone 4, there are no Northern Army bases within a thousand kilometers. Are they not worried about lacking base supplies!"
The Black Snow Country soldiers were all in shock!
It felt like an unexpected mass surprise attack in an area where there shouldn’t be any battles.
"It’s because of that new Spiritual Land!" Colonel Yan said solemnly. "If they occupy that new Spiritual Land, they can establish a base and secure a strong position, ensuring supplies and reinforcements."
Everyone understood, but their hearts grew heavier.
This area was too remote and star power-poor.
Aside from B-36 and a few other bases built on scattered Wolf Veins, there weren’t many troops deployed. The northern area was an empty, star power-poor region.
Without enough Star Veins for support, defensive structures were hard to establish, and high-level Star Card Masters couldn’t sustain their daily training.
Therefore, without Star Veins, establishing a base was meaningless.
Now, if the northern forces captured that new Spiritual Land, they would have no future worries!
Just then, a lean middle-aged man flew over from the rear, the base’s last remaining regimental officer, Wei Hao.
"Colonel Yan, all regiments are in position."
Colonel Yan nodded. "Good."
In this situation, Wei Hao quickly and properly arranged battle preparations, showing reliability.
However, facing five Radiant Moon Level enemies and over a thousand troops would be tough, even with many Fifth Level Barriers.
Colonel Yan said, "They discovered that new Spiritual Land before us. With that land, the Eastern Battle Zone might have to open a fifth battlefront. Prepare for battle... This will be the first fierce battle on Eastern Front 5, and it will be brutal."
Everyone looked north heavily, understanding the battle would be extremely fierce.
If Qiguang broke B-36 and other bases, using the new Spiritual Land as a forward base, they could flank the Eastern Front 4.
So they had to hold the base until reinforcements arrived!
If these bases fell, retaking the new Spiritual Land would be even harder!
Colonel Yan asked, "Did we send for reinforcements from A-7 Base?"
Wei Hao replied, "It’s been sent out. We also signaled B-34, B-47, and other surrounding points.
However, shortly after sending the distress signals, our communications got quickly cut off."
Although A-7 Base would notice the disrupted communications, detecting the anomaly and knowing the exact situation were very different.
