Chapter 1114: Focusing Fire on the Barrier
2023-03-24
The "Hongjun Heavenly Net Defense Array" proved impenetrable, so the Skrulls had to shift their focus.
"Shilan, relay my orders to all units. Shift the attack to the orange barrier on the west side of the hole," Manina, the commander on the front lines, instructed the AI Shilan.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Shilan responded, quickly transmitting Manina's orders through the AI network to the entire army.
Upon receiving the orders from their emperor, the Skrull forces immediately redirected their fire, launching a concentrated assault on the orange barrier of the Tashin Defense Net.
A barrage of gunfire rained down on the orange barrier, causing its durability to plummet under the relentless assault. The Disintegration Ray Towers also fired high-intensity disintegration beams, each one capable of instantly piercing through a section of the orange barrier.
Amidst the overwhelming firepower, the orange barrier began to shatter piece by piece, creating a significant gap in the entire defense network.
However, the humans of Earth were well-prepared for such a scenario.
They had stockpiled ample electrical and psychic energy, stored in energy stations behind the defense net. As soon as the barrier began to sustain damage, they immediately channeled this energy into the defense net.
With the influx of vast amounts of energy, the orange barrier rapidly repaired itself, with the damaged sections restoring to their original state within seconds.
Due to the rapid repair rate, even when the Skrull forces managed to breach the barrier, they could not penetrate the defense net in large numbers to threaten the Earth forces behind it.
This stalemate continued as the Skrulls repeatedly destroyed the barrier, only for it to quickly recover.
After destroying three batches of the barrier, the battle had entered its fourth hour.
Observing the continuously restoring orange barrier, Lanchi approached Manina with a concern, "Your Majesty, should we continue the attack? It seems like..."
Before he could finish, Manina firmly interrupted, "Of course, we must continue the attack. I want to see how many times the Earthlings can repair that barrier! Keep the full assault going, not a moment's rest!"
"Alright," Lanchi conceded, noting the resolute tone in his emperor's voice.
The various combat units maintained their focus, continuing to unleash their firepower on the orange barrier.
...
Thus, the battle turned into a contest of energy consumption.
The Skrull forces relentlessly attacked the orange barrier, using their energy output to whittle down its defenses.
During this period, they also attempted to target the "Hongjun Heavenly Net Defense Array," but the AI Shilan concluded that the energy expenditure for attacking the array was not significantly different from attacking the Tashin Defense Net.
Given that they would eventually need to breach the Tashin Defense Net, the Skrulls concentrated most of their firepower on the barrier.
On the Earth side, the main strategy was to mobilize all resources to repair the Tashin Defense Net, occasionally weakening the Hongjun Heavenly Net Defense Array to draw the Skrulls' attacks.
In essence, this was a war of attrition, pitting the hard power of both sides against each other. Neither side would achieve significant breakthroughs until one's energy reserves were depleted.
Because this was a pure energy battle, there were minimal casualties. While some high-ranking cultivators suffered losses due to the intense danger, ordinary soldiers did not need to sacrifice themselves, resulting in single-digit casualties each day.
