BXBX NOVEL Chapter 703 - 703 The Outsiders Are Unreliable
Gradually, the endless shadows piled up and formed a turbulent wave that rushed toward Ocean City’s defense line.
The dark scene completely engulfed the moonlight shining on the ground.
What he saw was only darkness and the unknown filled with terror.
In the eastern defense line, a group of Immortal Realm cultivators stood above the city wall, looking at the demon tide gravely.
“Thirty-eight demons at the Human Immortal Realm and three demon commanders at the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. The number of demons is unknown. The detector at the front line is not working, so we can’t make an estimation!”
“Prepare to launch the low-orbit satellite. We must obtain the most detailed information!”
“Yes!”
“Hurry up! Deploy the orbital launcher immediately!”
All the commanders were in their positions. Any situation would be resolved at the first moment.
Captain Zhou and more than a dozen military cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm were talking to each other through a special communication device.
“Old Zhou, we only have less than thirty low-orbit satellites left. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for us to monitor the situation of the demon army in detail.”
“It’s okay. We’re not the only ones defending this time. City Lord Wang should be able to solve their situation. We just need to investigate the specific situation of the northern and eastern battlefronts.”
“Old Zhou is right. Let’s hurry up and act. The faster we investigate, the more we can take the initiative and gain an advantage.”
The group discussed this through their communicators.
The energy carried by the demons was extremely invasive.
The satellites and other signal transmission tools built by various parties were all affected by abnormal energy.
Even the Life Lantern Gem system, connected to the main world, couldn’t be used during the invasion.
If the humans wanted to obtain intelligence on the demons while invading, they had to use the expensive low-orbit satellites.
Moreover, the low-orbit satellites would also be affected by the demonic power and could only carry out effective reconnaissance for a short period. Once they were in contact with the demonic power for too long, they would quickly lose their effectiveness.
Not long after, the residents of Ocean City could feel the earth shaking.
The eastern defense line lit up with dazzling lights.
Some more knowledgeable residents immediately recognized that it was a low-orbit satellite sent out by an orbital launcher.
“What’s the situation? The military launched so many low-orbit satellites!”
“Oh my God, that thing is worth more than five million movement points! The last time the demons attacked, they only fired two!”
Dozens of low-orbit satellites lit up in the sky.
Even the slowest residents gradually realized that the invasion was not that simple.
All of a sudden, the residents awake were no longer sleepy, and the residents still sleeping were forcibly woken up by their relatives and friends.
The quiet night was disturbed, and the lights gradually lit up.
More and more residents walked out of their homes and onto the streets, looking up at the three lines of defense and the dozens of low-orbit satellites in the sky.
The low-orbit satellites were extremely fast. The moment they were launched, all the satellites began to operate.
As they flew along the way, they quickly arrived above the demon army.
Since the satellites were only about 100,000 meters above the ground, the demons easily discovered them.
However, unlike before, they completely ignored the low-orbit satellite. They only glanced at it before continuing toward Ocean City.
“They didn’t intercept our satellites!”
“That’s great! We only need to wait for the satellite to operate for a few minutes, and we’ll fully grasp the situation of the entire demon army!”
Looking at the scene reflected by the satellite, the senior captains couldn’t help but chuckle.
Captain Zhou and a small number of military personnel could not help but frown.
“Why do I feel that something is wrong? Those guys don’t seem to care about us investigating their situation.”
“Activate energy detection.”
“I’d like to see what those scums are up to!”
The demons’ reaction surprised many people. A few who reacted quickly immediately sent orders to the low-orbit satellites and began a large-scale energy scan.
The scanning system was not as powerful as that in the city.
However, because the satellites were high up in the sky, the advantage of scanning was maximized. In addition, there were more than thirty satellites, covering an area of ten thousand miles, enough to cover more than half of the battlefield.
“Target area locked. Border RG236-TM135-ao468-HK611…”
“Energy detection ready. Begin scanning!”
After marking the target area, all the satellites activated energy detection at the same time.
The entire eastern and northern battlefronts were covered by it.
There were even a few more who had reached the border of the southwest defensive line.
Almost when the scanning function was activated, the feedback screens turned red, eliminating any other color.
“What’s going on?”
The commanders frowned as they looked at the red screen.
“Could there be a problem with the satellite? That shouldn’t be the case. We’ve done some tests before the launch, and there were no abnormalities on all the satellites!”
Normally, if something was wrong with the satellite, the feedback should be a snowflake or a blue screen.
