Chapter 1322: Chapter
On the other side, numerous large battleships from the Thunder Fleet were landing on a plain, and the nearly five-kilometer behemoth, the Sky Dome Train, roared down from the sky like a giant dragon, stirring up a large cloud of dust, and stopped on the reserved track before the Silver Star.
As night approached, the drone construction group did not cease operations. Under Viola’s comprehensive management, these robots maintained 24-hour operations, frantically clearing the way for the Joint Fleet.
Currently, they were constructing temporary tracks capable of supporting the over 100-kilometer Joint Train line in a barren area. For the train group and Iron Guard Brigade, as well as the various supporting vehicle teams, the difficulty was like ascending to the heavens.
Their task was to traverse the Scarlet Zone, a place where ordinary people would be in mortal danger if exposed for 30 minutes, cross hundreds of kilometers of Colorado Canyon and the Black Stone Great Plain, and face the S-Class threats, Hunting Bodies, and the endless scarlet tides.
The most critical aspect is...
Although the Iron Guard Brigade had the Engineering Corps, the train group had track-laying vehicles and some reserve track materials, and the Infinity even had Viola and thousands of engineering construction drones, they lacked the industrial capacity for large-scale casting. Without strong industrial support, even with two elite Iron Guard Brigades, three war fleets, and countless superpower users, they couldn’t figure out how to transport this steel dragon of over four thousand cars, carrying two to three million people, out of the Scarlet Zone.
Cars were only a drop in the ocean, and leaving vehicles in the Scarlet Zone meant waiting for death. The Scarlet Zone was surrounded by anomalies, and in this vast area and hundred-kilometer-long battle line, a scarlet attack could trigger a chain reaction at any moment.
So, the situation before them was nearly unsolvable.
Inside the Sky Dome Train Main Bridge, a communication conference involving over a hundred people was underway. This included General Li Sheng, leader of the 13 Iron Guard Brigade, General Zeng Weiguo of the 22 Iron Guard Brigade, and Luo Shaokai, Chief of Staff of the Second Continental Force, among others from Fire Stone, Dragon Kun, Thunder, and Air Fleet, as well as some action officers from the Phoenix Society Dawn Center. In addition, there were core members from major train groups like the Infinite Alliance, the Mobile City Eternal Day, and the Trans-European and Asian Utopia, along with leaders of supporting car groups like the Common Alliance.
Communications relied primarily on wired amplification through the Joint Train to connect various battlefields. In this massive marching line, the numerous teams were far apart and could only use frequencies to conduct discussions.
It was evident that the S-Class kill had everyone in the rail section battle zones elated. At this moment, after hearing the analysis from the Infinity side, led by Chen Sixuan, Jiang Yun, and Jian Xuwei, Luo Shaokai, Chief of Staff of the Second Continental Force, inquired,
"Sword Holder Lin Xian, can it be confirmed?"
"Yes." In the Sky Dome Train Main Bridge, almost all captain-level figures from the Infinity and the Infinite Alliance, including He Linqiu, were gathered here. Chen Sixuan calmly stated, "Only two people can control the South Heavenly Gate. During the previous Grand Canyon engagement, it was Chu Yan of the North American United Front who issued the order for ground attacks, but Chu Yan has now disappeared. Although we can’t confirm if it’s due to defection to the Foundation, if they were with the Foundation, how could they engage the S-Class Abnormal Body?"
"Makes sense." General Li Sheng of the 13 Iron Guard Brigade, wearing round-framed glasses, maintained a soldier’s stern demeanor beneath his elegant exterior: "It seems that the support troops must have already entered North America."
"Enter North America? Has the army come to attack us?"
General Zeng Weiguo of the 22 Iron Guard Brigade voiced his astonishment: "Impossible! Unless they’ve found a way to counter the Scarlet, how could a major force from the Polar region possibly come in here? Wouldn’t that be a case of losing the big for the small?"
If they hadn’t entered North America, how could they have accurately located our position for artillery support?" General Li Sheng remarked: "The Scarlet isolates all communications, and even observations over a few kilometers are problematic. They must have used high-altitude drones for reconnaissance and precision guidance. It couldn’t have been random shelling, right?"
"There’s another possibility," Commander Wu Xiangqun of the Thunder Fleet chimed in: "We detonated an X3, perhaps the allies locked onto us through the high temperature."
"Not so fast. You just detonated it, and they immediately followed. They must have made ample preparations."
General Li Sheng continued, "I agree with this. General Luo, what do you think?"
Though belonging to different command structures, in this Scarlet predicament, it was the Chief of Staff of the Second Continental Force whose experience weighed most heavily, and all decisions were based on collective counsel, but the final decision-making was influenced by his judgment and opinion.
On the command vehicle, Elder Luo, with graying hair, pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I agree with Captain Chen of the Infinity. Lin Xian is their leader, and they should know him well."
"Although we don’t know the intentions of the headquarters, this presents a favorable situation for the various trains and battle groups!"
Upon saying this, everyone responded in agreement.
General Zeng Weiguo of the 22 Iron Guard Brigade spoke up anxiously,
"So does this mean the Phoenix Society has dispatched an army to support us and has already reached North America?!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Sixuan from the Sky Dome Train looked at everyone, the gazes of Jian Xuwei, Ning Jing, Qian Deli, Monica, Jiang Yun...
Their eyes met, and despite their excitement, such a question lingered.
A rescue mission spanning an entire continent sounded quite inconceivable. Could it be that the Phoenix Society was risking it all, abandoning the Polar region, gambling on all of human civilization to take this risk?
