Chapter 710 The Demon Clan Withdraws
Kogas remained silent.
A deep, resonant vibration emanated from its chest, like a volcano about to erupt.
Anger was about to explode from its body.
But anger cannot change the course of the battle.
In space, the Kona civilization and the Great Xia civilization formed a pincer movement.
The plasma worm array appears sturdy, but in reality, it is being repeatedly chipped away at by fire from both sides. If this drags on, it will eventually turn from a "group defense" into a "group delivery of food."
On the ground, the Great Xia teleportation portal was expanded, and steel creations poured in continuously.
Those cold, lifeless machines are fearless and insensitive. Even after they are destroyed, another batch will take their place. They are more like cannon fodder than inferior demons, yet they are of high quality.
We can keep fighting; it's not that we can't fight.
Rather, it's not worth it.
By throwing nearly three hundred plasma bugs and a large number of high-level troops into this meat grinder, even if the Great Xia landing site is replaced, the Demon race will lose the power to suppress the Kona and Great Xia civilizations.
Kogas made a decision and, suppressing his anger, said:
"Pass on the order."
"All troops...retreat!"
Yax suddenly looked up.
The other demon lords also showed expressions of disbelief.
"Sir, are we just going to leave like this?"
These words carried a sense of resentment, as well as the inherent arrogance of the demon race.
Kogas's cold gaze swept over it.
"If we keep fighting, what are you prepared to use to block a combined attack?"
Yax's expression froze.
Kogas said coldly:
"Cannon fodder can be used."
"But plasma worms can't all be buried here."
I don't want to say it a second time.
"withdraw!"
The order spread rapidly along the mental network.
On the entire satellite Kona, after a brief pause, the demon army began to turn and leave the battlefield.
They came like a black tsunami.
The same applies when it recedes.
The low-level monsters were ruthlessly left behind to cover their retreat, while the high-level troops, like a pack of beasts sheathing their fangs, quickly shrunk back into the depths of darkness.
……
Tian Shu Command Center.
The large screen was still closely monitoring the plasma worms' movements. Someone noticed something was wrong and exclaimed:
"Look, the plasma worm array has changed again!"
Han Niba was giving instructions to his adjutant when he heard this, and immediately looked at the main screen.
In the orbital footage, the plasma swarm, which had originally shrunk into a spherical fortress, is slowly adjusting its formation.
The outer plasmaworms did not turn back to the landing site.
It did not continue to store energy.
They used their massive bodies to shield their damaged companions, and moved as a whole in a direction away from the Kona satellite.
The corpses of the plasma worms that had completely died were left in place.
After losing all signs of life, the massive, dark purple bodies, like fleshy mountains floating on a track, slowly rolled and slid into the darkness.
Meanwhile, the plasma worms that were not yet dead were entangled by the thick tentacles extended by their companions, dragging the heavily injured plasma worms into the shield's protective circle.
The giant beasts on the periphery took turns providing cover as they slowly withdrew.
In the command center, everyone watched nervously, trying to figure out what the plasma worm was doing.
Every time they changed their formation, it made things incredibly difficult for Da Xia, and they couldn't afford to be careless.
But... they seem to be retreating?
That's not right! According to the battlefield model, the plasma worm army still has the ability to continue fighting.
But now, they're actually leaving the combat zone on their own initiative?
A young staff officer spoke in disbelief.
"Are they... retreating?"
Another staff officer quickly zoomed in on the trajectory map, repeatedly confirming it before saying:
"It seems that they are not switching positions or adjusting battlefield locations."
"They are moving away from Kona satellite."
"The plasma worms are indeed starting to retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some people stood up abruptly, while others slammed their fists on the table.
Some people let out a long breath, their tense nerves quickly relaxing.
Han Niba remained calm.
But his jawline, which had been taut at all, finally relaxed a little, and he gave the order:
"Don't chase them, lest they launch a counterattack."
"clear!"
Just as the communications officer responded, another staff officer suddenly pointed to the screen next to him.
"Look, the ground battlefield has changed too!"
Everyone immediately turned their heads.
The screen displayed surveillance footage from the perimeter of the Kona landing site.
On the gray wasteland, the demon army that had been surging towards the Great Xia's position like a black tide was now retreating in large numbers.
The demons and vicious dogs were left at the forefront, continuing to ram their bodies into the unmanned fire net.
High-tier units such as Corruptors, Heavy Armored Demon Soldiers, Burrowing Dragons, and Winged Demons have begun to leave the battlefield and retreat towards distant rift valleys and underground passages.
Several giant earth-burrowing dragons dragged their broken bodies into the cracks in the ground.
The automatic turret did not stop firing.
The AI strictly followed Han Niba's previous orders, only pushing its firepower up to the preset safety line.
Any demons that attempt to turn back and attack the portal will be torn to shreds instantly.
Behind the newly opened portals, a torrent of steel continued to pour out.
The Great Xia did not stop because of the Demon Clan's retreat.
On the contrary, they are turning this seized land into a true frontline fortress.
Looking at the battlefield situation map, a staff officer said incredulously:
"The ground demons have also retreated... The demons are in a full-scale retreat!"
"We...won?"
Daxia almost gave up on Kona landing site.
The portal was nearly destroyed by the orbital bombardment.
The unmanned army was almost swallowed up by the combined attack of the demonic tide and plasma worms.
But now, the demons have retreated.
On the main screen, the red suppression line representing the demon race continues to retreat.
The blue and white fire zones, representing the Great Xia and Kona civilizations, steadily expanded outwards.
This means that Daxia not only survived this plasma bug crisis.
They also secured their first major victory in the Kona landings.
"We won!"
I don't know who shouted it first.
The next second, the entire Tian Shu command center erupted in long-suppressed cheers.
"The demons have retreated!"
"The Kona outpost has been saved!"
"We won!"
"Hahaha, we won! Hahaha..."
Everyone stood up and cheered.
Some people hugged each other, some slumped back into their chairs, and some stared at the screen with slightly reddened eyes.
This marks the first time that Great Xia has established an outpost in enemy-occupied territory, three thousand light-years away, on a planet occupied by the Demon Race, under the pressure of a full-scale counterattack from the Demon Race.
Han Niba also showed a rare smile.
After everyone had vented their emotions, he then said:
"Notify the front lines to consolidate positions, assess losses, construct outpost fortresses, and recover demon corpses."
"By the way, tell Lin Mo that there are enough portals already. Just expand the one that's opening to a large enough size."
"The demons have retreated, but that doesn't mean they won't come back."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the floating plasma worm corpses.
"Also, we should recycle any plasma worm debris in space that can be recovered."
"Those are all intelligence on the demons, and also materials."
Fighting is fighting, and living life is living life.
On the one hand, it is necessary to study plasmaworms in order to know ourselves and our enemy and win every battle.
On the other hand, that's a volume of over a kilometer! How many rare minerals and energy blocks could be extracted from that?
"yes!"
The communications officer immediately carried out the order.
