Chapter 1577: Retro Tactics
The so-called blood mist tactics are the response plans specially formulated by a large number of tacticians, including Richard Priests, and legendary powerhouses to deal with the spread of blood mist.
Behind the Maginot Line, a garrison of 700,000 troops was stationed, which was the best force that the Europa had brought out after the destruction of the defenders of the Maginot Line.
Among these 700,000 people, 120,000 are natives, some are mercenaries who volunteered to join the war in response to the call of the god of war, as well as knights sent by the major border knights, and elite legions supported by other aboriginal kingdoms.
The men had been trained in the tactics of blood mist for the past three days, and there were a large number of newly dug trenches at their station, two meters deep and wide enough for a fully armed knight.
The lines of the trench were so intricate that even the diggers themselves could not memorize the complete route map, so they had to hang signs at every fork in the trench as a guide, and every few meters inside the trench there was a cave large enough to accommodate a soldier, and the roof was laid above the cave, so that there were almost no flaws visible from above.
This is the essence of the Blood Mist tactic, the same idea as the construction of the Maginot Line, to use space barriers to narrow the difference in strength between human transcendents and Chaos demons as much as possible, and to use complex environments to disperse the local numerical advantage of Chaos Demons.
Those veterans who often deal with the abusive family know that the stronger the strength of those who believe in abusive behavior, the better they are, and neither bloodletters nor more powerful abusive knights can adapt to this World War I-style trench warfare.
The Lancel Knight, who led the lion knights, ignored the mutations that spread in the blood mist, and his loyalty to the lion king made the legendary knight grit his teeth, and resolutely decided to act according to the original plan, and he led the charge to the Maginot Line, which was close at hand.
However, the faster blood mist was the first to devour the brave and fearless knights before the lion knights approached the walls of the Maginot Line.
Knight Lansel was the first to be consumed by the blood mist, and he sensed the threat from ahead almost immediately, instinctively shattering the heart of a bloodletter before it could fully form.
Of course, Lanchel wasn't sure if the monster really had a heart, because the unformed monster had dissipated in the blood mist again in front of him.
Then the Lion Knights lined up in a charging formation behind them let out a series of roars and wails, and the roars of at least fifty large enemies appeared in the Lancel Knight's perceptual range.
Forward or backward? Knight Lanschel hesitated for only a moment, and then realized that there was no way for him to give another valid order, because four bloodletters had once again condensed around him, and his visibility in the blood mist was only three or four meters away.
Knight Lansel didn't dare to think about how many Knights would reach the Maginot Line, but he gritted his teeth and continued to charge.
In the rear, the first to come into contact with the blood mist were the demolition squads left nearby by the Ebony Gauntlet Knights, and these elite members of the Order defended on the spot after realizing that they could not outrun the speed at which the blood mist spread.
These Ebony Gauntlet Knights all wear heavy armor, their armor far surpasses the other knights of the Order in weight and defense, and they deal with explosives for many years, and armor is their second life.
The knights leaned closer to each other, erecting two-centimeter-thick metal shields and creating an airtight shield array around them, followed by several knights in the inner circle throwing disc-shaped explosives weighing several kilograms from the storage space to the periphery, which were homemade mines made by the Ebony Gauntlet Knights after learning from the experience of the Europa.
Then the blood mist mercilessly overwhelmed the brave group of knights, and with a series of explosions, these knights were no longer able to break through the range of the blood mist.
In the face of the surging blood mist, the last thing Richard was worried about was the question of command, because the coalition forces here had never had a unified command from the beginning to the end, they had been fighting on their own, and now they were just making the organization a little more fragmented.
Priest Richard watched a large number of soldiers rush into the trenches in a panic, turned his head to look at the blood mist rushing in his face, and also walked into the trenches, now it is up to the 700,000 people here to delay the blood mist and buy enough time for the spellcasters in the rear.
As for the Maginot Line, they don't have the power to influence that thing right now.
Within minutes of entering the trenches, Europa Private Kelder was separated from his company, which was overpowered, and was confronted by a group of knights with phoenix emblems painted on them as they passed through an intersection.
There were so many knights gathered here that Celder couldn't tell who was who, but in this narrow passage, the group of native knights forced their way through them with sheer force.
Kelder was squeezed and dazed, and when he came to his senses, there were no more familiar faces around, and the blood mist that had plagued the entire Old World had finally spread into the trench area.
Like the others, Kelder was terrified of the blood mist, and he rushed into the nearest cave before a Native soldier, then put on his previously issued gas mask, leaned against the wooden plank behind his back to reinforce the cave, and pointed his large-caliber musket at the entrance.
The cave was only one meter deep, and the relatively burly Kelder couldn't even turn around when his back was against the wall, and his two arms would touch the reinforcements on both sides of the cave, and the blood mist in front of him gradually spread in, filling the entire cave.
But Kelder didn't feel any discomfort, except for the smell of blood that could be smelled through the gas mask, the sense of security brought by the up, down, left, right, and back reinforcement layer gradually eased Kelder's fast-beating heart.
The cacophony of people in the trenches had quieted down with the arrival of the blood mist, but Kelder knew that in the hiding cave a few meters away, there must be someone else waiting for the enemy to appear, just like himself.
Kelder suddenly felt a slight vibration overhead, as if some big guy had stepped on the top of his head, and then suddenly several gunshots erupted not far away, and then the mines that had been planted in advance exploded with the vibration.
All of this shattered the silence, and Kelder's heart was gripped once more, and he began to pray that he would survive the ordeal.
