Chapter 58 Operation Plan
On the city wall, the city guards shouted orders.
The third captain opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't.
"How are we supposed to fight something this big?"
These people are indeed much stronger than ordinary people in combat. They can easily wield metal weapons weighing dozens of kilograms. In fact, the one who is even stronger has a great sword that weighs over a hundred kilograms and is made of a special alloy.
Even so, he didn't feel he had any ability to struggle in front of such a behemoth.
We can't just do what some games do before a disaster strike, like giving this snowman a toenail trim!
In the game, once the giant enemies show their health bars, the player's character can deal damage even with a simple "foot-splitting" attack, and can eventually kill them by fighting for a while.
But this is reality right now!
In addition, he had just seen how this giant snowman was formed.
Even if they managed to rush up close and inflict damage on his body piece by piece, he would absorb the surrounding snow and quickly return to normal.
At that time, with a simple flick of the wrist, I can turn them into mincemeat.
The firearms on the city wall kept firing, leaving many bullet holes in the huge snowman.
However, just like a white swamp, these attack marks and even bullets are quickly absorbed, and on the surface they still look 'perfect'.
"Our weapons aren't destructive enough! There's enough ice and snow around it to repair its body!" the city guard captain shouted into the communicator.
Inside the research institute, upon receiving this message, Instructor Li couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.
"Contact Commander Tian, has he not finished manufacturing the new incendiary bombs yet?"
Instructor Li understood one thing: the morale of the city's defense forces had been severely damaged.
If they collapse, the entire northern base will fall in no time.
"But based on the previous data and the situation with the three high-explosive incendiary bombs, it's probably just a drop in the ocean for this ice giant." Yu Lei shook his head, giving a pessimistic conclusion.
"It's just a drop in the ocean, but what we need now is a way to boost morale and bring hope to more people!" Coach Li immediately prepared to give the order.
On the other side, near the city wall, in a factory that had been temporarily converted into a high-explosive incendiary bomb manufacturing plant, Leng Yue and the others were busy at work.
"What? Those mutated beasts have combined into an ice giant?" Commander Tian rushed to the door upon hearing the news. "Someone, what's going on outside? Explain yourself!"
Just then, his personal guard ran over. "Commander Tian, there's a message from Instructor Li. He's asking if we've finished manufacturing high-explosive incendiary bombs and requests that they be deployed immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Tian slowly turned around and then quickly walked to the telegraph machine.
Looking at the translated Morse code, he knew it was real.
This means that the enormous ice giant is the enemy they are facing right now!
"Quick! How many high-explosive incendiary bombs have been made?!" He looked to the other side, at the door that separated the factory area.
The guards naturally understood what he meant and jogged into the factory area.
Soon, he returned to report to his superior, "We have manufactured three so far, and the fourth one will be completed soon, but Dr. Qin and his team will need to rest and recover."
Commander Tian waved his hand, "Four it is! Take them out immediately and blast them!"
The guards immediately stood at attention. "Yes, sir!"
As he spoke, he was about to go inside and give the order.
Commander Tian stopped him, saying, "I'll go myself!"
Upon entering the factory area and seeing the high-explosive incendiary bombs already placed to the side, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this point, the fourth one was finally completed.
When Qin Feiyun and the others saw Commander Tian come in, they quickly came over as well.
"Commander Tian, we have completed four so far, but according to our previous calculations, to maximize their effectiveness, we need..."
"Maximum? How big is that? Could it even destroy a 30-meter-tall ice giant?!"
Commander Tian looked at him with some agitation, because he knew that Qin Feiyun and the others would need at least forty minutes of rest before they could resume production.
But the ice giants outside won't stand there and wait for them for forty minutes!
We must do everything we can to solve this problem once and for all!
"A 30-meter-tall ice and snow giant? Commander Tian, this..." Qin Feiyun looked shocked.
The others were the same; all they knew beforehand was that they had encountered a pack of beasts imbued with the power of ice and snow!
How did it suddenly turn from a beast tide attack into a behemoth siege?
They are scientists, not mecha pilots!
"I have a question. Can you confirm that there are protruding ice-blue crystals on that ice giant?" Leng Yue suddenly asked.
Commander Tian looked at the guards who had followed him in. "What's the situation at the front?"
The guard quickly took out a small notebook, flipped through a couple of pages, and found the contents.
"There are indeed ice-blue crystals on the forehead of that ice giant, like vertical pupils."
"That's it! That's the key point where the snow demon possesses it. Perhaps only if these high-explosive incendiary bombs hit there can they pose a fatal threat to it." Leng Yue thought of the scene when they dealt with that mammoth.
"In that case..." Commander Tian originally wanted to say that he would arrange for someone to find a way to fire the bomb up there.
However, they currently lack the capability to complete that type of rocket launch system in a short period of time.
Using a cannon-like weapon presents another problem: aiming and ballistic trajectory.
Although the ice giants are huge, the targets they need to hit are very small.
This thing already has a large blast radius; if it can't be detonated in a concentrated manner, its power will definitely not be effective.
"Let's try using an airplane!" Old Hu walked over, his expression also solemn.
With the current level of aircraft technology, it's more like a sacrifice than a mission to drop bombs.
The best way to guarantee a good outcome is to directly crash into the head of the ice giant.
However, this is also the kind of thing that Commander Tian finds most unacceptable.
Those guards were not just numbers; they shouldn't have been people who were ordered by him to embark on a path of sacrifice.
Although he knew that even if he did tell the guards about the plan, many of them would be willing to take on the responsibility.
But this is still not the situation he wanted to see.
He looked at Leng Yue. "Isn't there any other way? Besides, if we successfully hit it, what are the chances of killing that ice giant?"
Qin Feiyun opened his mouth, but he had never personally faced the Snow Demon and could not give a reasonable answer.
"I'm not sure, but it will at least severely damage them." Leng Yue said, clenching her fists. "I might have a way to increase the chances of success."
Commander Tian's eyes widened slightly. "What method?!"
"Close range, heavy sniper rifle, finish it off when its core is exposed!"
