Chapter 621 Promise (I)

The burning earth went out in the cold wind, and the falling cold raindrops took away the last bit of warmth from the ground.

The rising smoke carried a large number of tiny dust particles up to the sky, and then merged into the clouds after sinking into the clouds. The condensation nuclei gathered water and formed a large-scale rain cloud that should not have appeared.

The moisture accumulated at the tip of the inverted mountain range at the bottom of the sky island condensed into raindrops at this moment, and then fell to the ground with the pull of gravity.

It's raining.

The patter of rain fell on the ground, and the spreading rainstorm seeped into the mud.

A suitable rain is never a bad thing.

It's not a bad thing for both sides.

The muddy world is always the norm.

The heavy rain brought not only mud, but also a consensus on a short truce.

The front-line troops of the Holy See, who suffered heavy losses and suffered large-scale bombing, were not qualified to take another step forward. The increase in the number of wounded soldiers and the transportation pressure brought by the rain were enough to make them anxious.

The problem of trench seepage quickly became serious. They lost the dry and cool trenches, and all they had left were muddy trenches mixed with a lot of dirt and germs.

If there was any good news from this rain, it was that the coalition forces were also forced to withdraw to the rear of the defense line, and they could stabilize their five-kilometer front-line trenches at all costs.

Light cavalry is not suitable for maneuvering in such a muddy environment. The rain curtain acts as a natural barrier to block the sight of shooters and gunners. When visibility is the lowest, machine gunners can only see enemies within 100 meters.

If there was no rain, the coalition forces only needed to cooperate with small-caliber artillery positions and launch a round of counterattacks to clear the only victory achieved by the Holy See during this period.

The coalition forces that began to use monster infantry on a large scale to assist trench warfare did not have an advantage in the meat-grinding war, but they no longer had too many disadvantages.

Various types of monster infantry organized as support companies to regiment-level troops can effectively improve the breakthrough ability, meat-grinding ability, and heavy weapon carrying capacity of front-line troops.

Humanoid units have their limits after all.

The monster infantry represented by rat trolls, corrupted crabs, and giant lizards can play a key role in breaking through the defense line.

Even if they die, their corpses can cover the subsequent infantry to advance dozens of meters.

Ji Lin's technology does not include the technology of modernizing monster infantry. The mass-produced construct units are enough for the army to use, and the steam machinery with ordinary intelligence can complete the given tasks.

The Ring Island Alliance relies too much on the technology of cultivating biochemical beasts with magic mechas and biocatalysts, and also wants to follow Ji Lin's route of deploying troops, and has never considered the coordinated operations of the infantry regiment.

These are all monster infantry improvement plans initiated by the ground lords. They are using their own methods to integrate the "big guys" in their troops into the army's command system.

Monster infantry is cheap, and they also have a ready-made training system, without any technical threshold.

Form a real new era "mixed infantry regiment".

They don't have the luxury of using fully mechanized troops, nor do they have enough capital to support the replacement of high-end exoskeleton mechas, but the ground coalition lords will not let their troops become weak.

There is no set of organization that can be directly referenced in the lords' forum.

The fifth and sixth years.

It is too early for the lords recruited by the system to fight large-scale troop operations during this period, and there is naturally no corresponding experience in the forum.

Almost all expedition worlds are still fighting internally, a small number of worlds are gradually entering a state of separatism similar to the Warring States period, and most are still playing tribal conflicts.

All they can come up with are plans such as "how a single lord can use enough troops to complete the operation."

But the experience of small organizations is of little use to the coalition lords. The organization used to fight a war of 100,000 people and the organization used to fight a war of 3 million people can be said to be far apart.

The scale of the battle missions responsible for both sides is different. Single lords need to consider multiple aspects of combat, retreat and how to preserve strength.

For large-scale coalition forces, each lord's division-level troops only need to complete the battle objectives designated by the highest command.

In order to achieve this campaign goal, they can invest troops at all costs.

No need to consider other factors, no need to consider infighting, no need to consider friendly backstabs - just concentrate on completing the campaign goals assigned to them.

And the Supreme Command will also make up for their losses after the war.

If necessary, they can achieve the campaign goals at any cost.

Historical experience is passed on between the allied lords. They slightly borrowed some of the experience of the regimental combat teams in later generations and fully utilized the support capabilities of war mages and monster infantry under the large organization.

First sharpen the spear, then consider the shield.

Of course, they have not tested their organization ideas on the battlefield.

But they have also taken the first step in military modernization.

The heavy rain made the ground muddy, buried the fortifications originally inserted into the ground under the mud and water, and the mud and water flowed to another area with debris. Now even the coalition forces don’t know where they buried mines and caltrops.

The coalition forces only maintained a minimum scale of light reconnaissance cavalry to ensure that the Church would not take advantage of the rain to launch an attack.

The Church would not launch an attack while visibility was low.

The recruited Crusaders and the Penitents were working on the ruins, digging out the resources that could still be recycled.

A ruin.

"Hmm... Is this the front you were going to show us? Commander Noy?"

The new paladin turned her head to look at the commander of the front line, and the falling raindrops automatically flowed on both sides of her long black hair.

"It seems that you have concealed a lot of things from the Privy Council."

The commander of the front line, Noy, wiped the rain off his face. He couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or rain.

The other paladin looked further away and listened to the sound coming from the rain.

"Rain..."

(The reason for not updating is that I went to see the first large-scale missile penetration. The scene of cluster missiles saturating and flooding the air defense network is really spectacular. This is the first time in human history that a large-scale ballistic missile cluster attack has been used.)

(More than 100 medium-range missiles, using 500 kg of explosives.)

(This is called missile bombing, using saturation attack to flood the air defense network.)
