Chapter 802: Chapter 440, I don't want casualty numbers, I just want Gaomen Ridge

When the Beastman Overlord truly gathered the vast Green Skin army, when the firepower and armored strength of the Green Skins could be utilized without restraint, they also demonstrated the strong combat capability that allowed their race to dominate the Star Sea.

This hundred-kilometer battle line was subjected to a powerful breakthrough by the Green Skin forces. A vast number of human troops were caught off guard and were directly overwhelmed by the flood of Beastmen.

Of course, the human troops here were primarily from the Planetary Defense Force.

The massive assembly and attack by the enemy was precisely what Perbov wanted to see. It was to be expected that the Defense Army couldn't withstand it.

However, the Defense Army's failing still caught him off guard, or rather, the offensive power of the Beastmen exceeded his expectations.

How could a single assault create a breach in the defensive line that was one hundred fifty kilometers wide and nearly three hundred kilometers deep?

Perbov's main forces hadn't even had time to complete their deployment!

This gap was too large; even if he managed to deploy his troops completely and win the decisive battle, encircling the enemy would be difficult.

Without forming an encirclement, the defeated Green Skins, once reorganized, could still continue to fight. Only with an encirclement could a genuine annihilation battle be fought.

The Green Skins were still gathering step by step, and now was the time to net them.

Perbov now was no longer concerned about the magnitude of the battle results; what he considered was whether he could stomach what was to come.

At the same time, he couldn't let this operation result in overly adverse consequences.

A major home-planet city with a population in the tens of millions was right before the Beastmen's onslaught.

Tactically, Perbov couldn't allow the Green Skins to further widen the gap; strategically, he couldn't afford to lose a large city with tens of millions of inhabitants. Therefore, he issued orders to the three divisions stationed directly in front of the Green Skin forces to hold the city's outskirts at all costs.
