Close encounters
The robed swordsman didn't know when he was standing only ten meters away from the commando, and in the chaotic battlefield, the commando would not have noticed the existence of one more person because of the chaos.
No one knew what to call the robed swordsman, who was just an ordinary human. They are already distinguished from Imperial soldiers in terms of attire, they do not wear Imperial uniforms, let alone light armor.
The only thing that caught the attention of others was the sword he was holding, a short sword that could be found with blue light.
The two sides faced off for several seconds, and the coalition commandos attacked first.
Countless guns fired at the same time, and although the close coalition soldiers were sure that the distance was more than ten meters away, it was enough to kill the opponent.
And the speed at which the bullet is discharged, people can't dodge.
One volley, enough to beat the opponent into a sieve.
It only takes one second for the coalition commandos to empty all the bullets in the magazine. They are highly trained fighters and will not be able to shoot at any time.
The bullets of a dozen people were about to run out, and a new salvo was immediately filled.
The opponent fought too quickly, and even before the first salvo was empty, the opponent was close enough that his sword could slash the coalition soldiers.
The opponent's sword fell from the sword, and the arm with the gun was cut off by the opponent.
Several soldiers who blocked the robed swordsman's attack were cut in two by the sword in the robed swordsman's hand.
His sword slashed at the coalition commandos as swiftly as slicing tofu.
The encounter between the sword and the armor did not stop or hinder, and in a sweep one soldier immediately divided into two sections.
At such a close distance, the coalition commandos could no longer use assault rifles, and pistols and daggers became their life-saving weapons.
There were a total of eighty coalition assault detachments that assaulted to the third floor, and each detachment had a total of ninety people. There will be a second wave, a third wave, and a fourth and fifth waves.
Multiple waves are meant to be sustained and powerful attacks, without giving the opponent any respite.
If there are casualties in the first wave or if there is a drop in stamina, the second wave of commandos will immediately fill the gap.
And so on, until you take down the entire Tower of the Holy Fire.
But under the sword of the robed swordsman, a detachment of ninety people could not hold out for ten minutes before the whole army was annihilated.
The communicator was in disarray, making it difficult to discern how many squads had been attacked.
In desperation, the team that could retreat immediately withdrew from the Tower of the Holy Fire.
Some of the teams had just withdrawn from the Tower, and the central square of the Tower was even more chaotic. The reinforcements that had been held out were no longer there, and the only thing left was a mess of equipment. The scene was chaotic and you didn't need to ask, and you also encountered a blue-robed killer on the periphery.
The forces that captured the Tower of the Flame ended in a crushing defeat, with a total of 1,355 people killed in the attack. This sacrifice is very different from the previous sacrifices, where most of the coalition forces were injured without contact.
I didn't see where the enemy was, there were already soldiers who lost their lives, and such sacrifices were more than 80 percent of the total casualties, and almost all casualties in a battle were non-contact.
This time, all casualties were from close combat.
It is very difficult to encounter hand-to-hand confrontations in modern warfare, and most modern warfare is a non-contact battle, and it is the first time that the coalition forces are fighting room by house. This mode of warfare has lowered the mode of modern warfare, and the world's war strategists have boldly predicted that the mode of close-contact warfare has been abolished in this century.
Even in response to counter-terrorism operations, the Grand Alliance pursued its contactless mode of warfare.
Military experts laughed contemptuously when they saw that the Empire was still fighting in the traditional mode.
Although contactless warfare has been promoted, it does not mean that the major alliances have lost the mode of contactless warfare.
But no country continues to follow the medieval model of warfare, whether it is the mode of war of the Grand Alliance, or the war model of empires or even other countries.
Today's medieval style of fighting is so bloody that all the survivors are still trembling when they return to the coalition.
They weren't sure if the carnage they had just seen had actually happened, and the flesh and limbs were still in their minds.
The attacking force of tens of thousands of people basically lost their combat effectiveness, and no one could describe what they encountered, who the robed swordsman was, it was simply an invisible devil.
If a soldier's weapon hits an opposing target, this fear is an uncontrollable and even unimaginable deterrent.
The failure of the attack on the Tower of Flame was concealed, and all the troops involved in the attack were imprisoned together.
The coalition simply didn't want to spread the rumors, and no one was allowed to leak the story of the Tower's defeat until they had investigated it.
But the big leagues don't think that the defeat on the battlefield will have other effects, and a failure to attack and kill a few people is a sparse and ordinary trifle, and the battlefield is not dead. In other words, the coalition forces are attacking the iconic targets of the Empire, and if the iconic targets are not well defended, how can they be called iconic targets.
The Grand Alliance is determined to take the Tower of the Holy Fire at all costs, and since this bone is difficult to resolve, it must be taken resolutely and intact. This is because the Tower of the Flame is extremely important to both sides.
Although the order bastard, there is always someone willing to carry it out. A new command of the attack was transferred to the front, and new attack units were likewise created. The coalition forces immediately prepared for a second attack on the Tower of Sacred Fire, officially called.
However, there are still many rumors about the failure of the first attack among the coalition forces, and there is always a way to cover up the first defeat, and someone also needs to take responsibility for the defeat.
In order to make up for the defeat, the coalition forces issued a notification of the failure of the attack on the Tower of the Sacred Flame, because the attacking force was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, resulting in the failure to complete the attack mission according to the expected time plan, the original commander-in-chief of the attacking force was removed from the rank of major general and escorted to a military court, and the other officers who participated in the mission were demoted.
The handling is a little sloppy, but it can always make up for the consequences of the loss that is difficult to justify after the loss.
Ten hours after the failed attack on the Tower of the Flame, the second round of attacks began.
The new commander has a new way of playing, and in short, they want to take the Tower of Flame in one fell swoop.
Before the attacking force could reach the attack position, it came under long-range fire from the Flame Tower bunker.
The coalition forces are glad to see this traditional way of fighting, and the war has been fought in human society for tens of thousands of years, and even a little longer.
In short, the commander believes that they are good at traditional play.
The attacking force is immediately put into combat mode, and the coalition forces can destroy the outer defenses of the Tower of Flame in minutes.
