Chapter 508: Adjusting Strategy and Defending with All Strength

Yes, that's right. During the years of confrontation with the Zerg, there were constant battles of all sizes. The Xia army went from losing more than they won to winning more than they lost. This actually made some senior leaders think that the Zerg were no more than they were.

Compared with continuing to develop armaments, they would rather focus on developing other technologies of Xia State.

Anyway, the front line is very stable. Xia Country can still send out a mecha team and bring exoskeleton armor troops to start clearing the mother nest from the surrounding area. In their minds, Xia Country has the ability to counterattack, so there is no need to worry.

Under such circumstances, it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with the ideas of those senior executives. With the efforts of these years, Xiaguo's technology has indeed developed very well, with huge progress in medical care, communications, people's livelihood and other aspects.

Who could have thought that the third insect plague would come even more unexpectedly than the second? The second time there was an early warning of a super-strong earthquake, but the third time there was no sign of anything unusual.

By the time Xia's troops found out, the evolved Zerg had already arrived with a swarm of Zerg. This fierce blow severely injured the Xia military, and many of the talents they had trained died on the front line.

In front of the conference table, Commander-in-Chief Sun closed his eyes and remained silent.

As the highest commander of the Xia Kingdom's military, he naturally advocated the development of military technology, but... it's too late to say anything now.

He couldn't speak at this time. If he spoke, he would inevitably scold others, which would not be of any benefit to his future actions. Now the Xia Kingdom must unify its steps.

Commander-in-Chief Sun was able to keep his composure, but the generals attending the military meeting felt very aggrieved. They wanted to complain but couldn't, and they were almost hurt from holding it in.

The middle part of the circular conference table is an open space, where a large stereoscopic image is now projected, which is a panoramic view of Xia State.

As more and more information was sent back from various places, the panoramic view in the middle kept changing. The green areas representing safety were constantly replaced by the black areas of the Zerg at a speed that was alarmingly fast.

Surrounding the panoramic view are three-dimensional images of the three evolved Zerg species. These are the latest images collected and transmitted back from battlefields across the country. It is only a rough image, and its internal structure or key weaknesses cannot be seen from the outside.

After all, we have to catch them alive before we can work out the best way to deal with them.

And now, the senior leaders of the Xia country who were sitting here frowned as they looked at the map being eaten away in the middle and the evolving Zerg with their fangs and claws bared next to it.

"We hope that the compensation for the soldiers on the front line can be completed as soon as possible. As for the people outside the big cities, if anyone receives a call for help, let them hide. Rescue will be arranged as soon as possible." Commander-in-Chief Sun looked to the left side of the conference table.

This collision with the Zerg was the first time that Xia Kingdom suffered such heavy losses. Thinking of the soldiers who died on the front line, whose bodies could not even be preserved, all the leaders present felt extremely sad.

The relevant person in charge stood up and saluted, repeatedly assuring that proper arrangements would be made.

The meeting room was silent for several minutes.

"Okay everyone, now is not the time to mourn, let's talk about the current situation and follow-up arrangements." The leader stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket and glanced around.

The leaders of each department spoke in turn, explaining the current situation of their respective departments that could be deployed.

The leader nodded and looked towards the military.

"We have notified the border to withdraw troops. All troops stationed on the border are to withdraw to the nearest big city to assist in defense. We will deploy them again when the situation becomes clear."

"The insect swarm is still in the central region. We have withdrawn our troops from the border. What should we do with the major Hope Towns outside the country? There are still many citizens from our country in those Hope Towns. What should we do with them?" someone interrupted and asked.

This is indeed true. Since the establishment of Hope Town, many people from Xia Country have gone out to do business. Most of these people will not stay abroad for a long time. After all, although Hope Town is close to the border of Xia Country, it is not protected by the border.

But there are always some people who will be delayed there for various reasons, and at this time the news of the collapse of the front line has not yet spread, so they naturally don’t know about it.

"The garrison will make their own arrangements to pick the people up, and after they leave, inform the person in charge of Hope Town about the insect tide."

"Let them prepare early. After the insect tide passes through the entire Xia Kingdom, there won't be too many left at the border."

"But·····"

"No buts. We suffered heavy losses this time. We must hold on to the 50 major cities."

There are a large number of survivors in Xia Country, and it is not easy for the 50 high-walled cities that have been built to accommodate the remaining population. The foreign survivors living in Hope Town are the ones that Xia Country refused to accept.

It was Xia's good intention to notify the other party in advance. It would be impossible to allow the other party to enter the big city and occupy the living space of the Xia people.

Even if one of these 50 big cities is full of refugees from various countries, they are people from countries that have always had friendly relations with Xia Country, and they will naturally be treated differently from those countries that like to stir up trouble or are capricious.

"Communicate promptly on the situation of supplies in the city."

"We have more than two years' worth of food and daily necessities in reserve, but now we need to fend off the insect infestation, and our weapons reserves may not be able to withstand multiple consumptions."

Every big city has food reserves and planting centers, but other factories are divided into different areas, especially military industries, which are only opened in five big cities.

The weapons and equipment of other big cities need to be supported from these places.

Now that the Zerg are rampant and the insect tides are raging, weapons and ammunition will certainly be consumed quickly, and the transportation of support materials will become much more difficult.

"We got a new batch of beast-repelling wood a few days ago, and it's just in time to use it. After the new paint is done, it should be no problem whether it's for rescue or supply transportation."

The big boss had just learned about this, and his eyes lit up as he looked in the direction of where the Psychic Association was sitting behind the conference table.

After receiving an affirmative look from Jiang Qi Zhang, the leader felt slightly relieved.

Coated with a coating made of animal-repelling wood, it is much safer whether transported by air or by land.

"That's good. Hurry up and deliver the supplies to the right place."

"All the teams that were out on missions have been called back. We don't know the weaknesses of the new Zerg, so we don't have an advantage against them right now. We should focus on defense first."

"We will find out the other party's situation as soon as possible."

In the chaotic yet orderly meeting, the leaders discussed various subsequent responses and arrangements were conveyed one by one.

The Xia Kingdom made adjustments and arrangements in the shortest possible time, and every major city was prepared to deal with the arrival of the insect tide.

There were two people from the Psychic Association attending the meeting, and they were Jiang Qi Zhang and Fang Wanfu who were sitting in the back row.

After listening to the overall arrangements and deployments made by the leader, the two of them huddled together and talked in a low voice.

Fang Wanfu was listening to Jiang Qi Zhang's words, but his eyes were fixed on the image of the evolved Zerg in the middle of the conference table.
