Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 289 Tried my best

As Yu Qian left the camp, Zhang Tao was walking towards the main hall of the Mechanical Sanctuary in Jinling City.

He felt incredibly relieved at that moment, not only because all the machinery belonging to the Huaxia Army in the city had been withdrawn, but also because he no longer felt like he was being monitored.

More importantly, a real fight broke out in the so-called Jinling New City.

The battle lasted all night. According to the news from the Christian Guard, although the Chinese army withstood the attack, it did suffer heavy losses.

This made him feel that the pressure on him had lessened considerably.
-
Of course, he did not want the Chinese army to be completely destroyed in the attack of the beast tide.

He not only did not want the Chinese army to be defeated, but on the contrary, he wanted to help them win whenever needed.

Only in this way can the most precious things in the Jinling ruins be preserved.

And only then will I have the opportunity to take back what rightfully belongs to the Cult of Machines.

Zhang Tao entered the sanctuary, where in a corner, a completely sealed square building constructed of metal had its door open.

This is a room he built specifically to shield himself from the surveillance of the Chinese army.

Inside the room, his most trusted confidants had been waiting for a long time.

"Close the door."

Zhang Tao stepped into the metal cabin, and after the heavy iron door closed, the cabin was instantly plunged into darkness.

He didn't turn on the lights, but instead began the meeting with the others in complete darkness.

He coughed slightly and began to speak:
"We have received the latest intelligence from the direction of the Jinling Ruins."

"More than ten hours ago, the beast tide launched a full-scale attack on Jinling New City. A total of more than 40 large monsters of level four or above and more than 1500 small monsters participated in this round of attack."

"The battle was completely over 6 hours ago."

"The Huaxia Army eliminated almost all the large monsters that participated in the battle, and at the same time eliminated nearly a thousand small monsters."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cacophony of exclamations erupted from the darkness.

"How is this possible with 40 monsters?"

"The focus isn't on the large monsters, but on the thousands of small monsters."

"If we can't even defeat the monsters with sheer numbers, then what hope is there for us to fight them?"

“We are different from monsters; we can also use weapons.”

"Yes, but their combat power is indeed astonishing."

"They were already terrifyingly strong."

"Quiet."

Zhang Tao interrupted the chattering crowd, and then he continued:

"Not just in Jinling New City."

"During the battle, the Chinese army used aircraft they called 'bombers' to strike the rear of the beast tide."

"They dropped the 'sun,' also known as a nuclear bomb, which they had used many times before."

"But it is clear that this sunrise is more powerful than any before."

"Even within Nanjing, we saw intense flashes and rising explosion clouds."

"According to reports from the Holy Army scouts near Xuancheng, the two nuclear bombs almost leveled the entire city of Xuancheng, and the large number of monsters that occupied the area were also completely reduced to ashes."

"They have dealt a heavy blow to the beast tide, and it is expected that the beast tide will not launch another large-scale attack in the short term—I mean within a day or two."

"However, the beast tide is not over yet, and the crisis they face is not yet resolved."

"After the first wave of attacks, they will face continuous pressure, and with their numerical advantage, the beast tide will likely overwhelm them in one fell swoop."

"Therefore, they have changed their tactical deployment."

Zhang Tao paused at this point.

After making sure everyone had heard him clearly, he continued:
"Just now, I received intelligence and tactical information from the Chinese army."

"They told me that the Huaxia army would take the initiative to launch an offensive to disrupt the beast tide's deployment and prevent its expansion."

"But because of the lack of manpower, they needed and requested my assistance from the Holy Army."

"I have agreed to the Chinese army's request." "Now, I am here to convey my orders to you."

"From today onwards, the Holy Army and the Guardian Army will participate in the battle against the beast tide."

"Wherever our power can reach, we must mobilize and attack every monster we can find with all our might."

"Any objection?"

After he finished speaking, the isolation ward fell silent.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke up and asked:
Why should we join the fight at this time?

"In fact, the Chinese army is far from showing signs of weakness. What we should do now is continue to observe and wait for an opportunity."

"Do not."

Zhang Tao immediately denied it.

"If we wait until they show signs of weakness before taking action, it will be too late."

"We do want what they have, but we can't be foolish enough to wait until it's too late to salvage it."

"Timing, timing is the most important thing."

"And now is the best time."

Why? I don't think so.

Zhang Tao recognized the voice as coming from his most trusted legion commander, so he wasn't angered by the man's rebuttal. Instead, he calmly explained:

"If you want a ship to dock in port, you have to control the steam engine before it crashes into the shore."

"And clearly, we haven't entered the engine room yet."

"To get control of this ship, we must first take the control stick."

"do you understand?"

".Understood."

The chief engineer's voice came from the darkness. Zhang Tao let out a long breath and then said:
"This is my decision."

"If there are no other opinions, then let's proceed with this plan."

"You must remember, the most important thing we gained was the machine souls that were under their control."

"Such sacred objects should not be in the hands of people without faith."

"It is the creation of the Holy Trinity, and it should belong to us, and it must belong to us."

"For the Holy Trinity!"

"For the Holy Trinity!"

The unified shouts echoed in the isolation ward.

Zhang Tao pushed back his chair and stood up, while the guard standing by the door had already opened the door a crack.

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up:
"Sir, I have another question."

"I have just received a request from the Huanhuan Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Huaxia Army, asking us to sell shells for the Huaxia Army to use in their giant cannons."

Should we grant their request?

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tao paused in his movements.

After hesitating for a moment, he answered:

“Give them to them.”

"Give them all the shells we have, no matter how many we have."

"But not now."

"Delay for two days, and deliver it after the next wave of the beast tide begins."

"If the Chinese army urges..."

Tell them we've done our best.
