"What about the enemy at the top?" Sun Yiming asked nervously. Although the crisis at the bottom had been resolved, the defensive battle for the entire island was not yet over.
"The small group of troops that infiltrated from the top has also been successfully intercepted and annihilated by our defensive fire network and the remaining defenders," Lorraine quickly interjected, reporting the latest battle situation.
"Although those iron-clawed crabs are extremely fast and their attacks are quite tricky, they simply cannot break through the last line of defense thanks to our pre-set energy cannon array and the coordinated efforts of our valiant warriors."
Gu Xi nodded slightly, satisfied with the result: "Very good. In that case, all we need to do now is hold our ground. Let those completely insane guys run into the shields and see if their bones are harder or our shields are harder."
A cold glint flashed in her deep eyes.
When these frenzied deep-sea creatures are unable to break through the sturdy shields for an extended period, and their inner rage cannot be effectively vented, they may turn their attacks on their companions due to extreme anxiety and anger.
Fratricide is the most likely outcome in this out-of-control situation.
"Close the door and beat the dog..." Gu Xi murmured softly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
This was a tactical idea she had casually mentioned when formulating the defense plan.
However, this time, the "dogs" were their own enemies who had gone into a frenzy, so there was no need to even try to drive them away.
The seawater around the island was still boiling and churning violently, and the deafening roars of the feint attack troops rose and fell like the desperate howls of countless trapped beasts.
They used their bodies, claws, and teeth to violently ram the energy shield under the crimson gaze again and again until they were exhausted, until their bodies shattered and vanished under the enormous reaction force.
In stark contrast, the tense and suffocating atmosphere that had previously been palpable inside the island has eased somewhat.
The residents learned from the timely messages relayed by Sun Yiming that the two most dangerous attacks on the island's bottom and top had been successfully thwarted.
Meanwhile, the seemingly formidable and frenzied enemies on the periphery are unable to break through the island's incredibly strong energy defenses for the time being.
Victory is just around the corner!
Many people wept with joy, embracing each other tightly, grateful for this hard-won respite.
The first wave of the island defense battle, which the deep-sea alliance considered its most likely success, ended in a crushing defeat that they never expected.
The main force was wiped out, the feint attack force went into a frenzy out of control, and the command system was thrown into temporary chaos as a result.
However, everyone understood that the real manipulators who were hiding behind the scenes and meticulously planned this attack, such as the jellyfish and the blacktip reef shark, would never give up easily because of one failure and would not easily give up this piece of fat meat that they had been coveting for a long time.
A more ferocious counterattack may be brewing.
But so what? Gu Xi's eyes were firm and confident. Since they had managed to withstand this first and most intense wave of attacks, they were confident they could withstand the second, third, and countless more attacks.
However, Gu Xi himself did not expect that the Crimson Gaze, which was originally just a strategic defensive weapon, would produce such a wonderful chemical reaction when combined with the island's own solid defense system, due to its special effect of igniting the enemy's violent emotions.
This is practically a natural, almost perfect "all-purpose clearing device".
This was a completely unexpected and delightful surprise. (Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
