Chapter 719: Morale
"Watch the morale of the troops! Pay attention to morale !!"
Everyone is not stupid, and from his words, they immediately understood the purpose of the foreign alliance army at this time.
Chelsea Manchester used a typical 'morale' style of play at this time.
Morale is very important to an army, and the most intuitive impact is the combat effectiveness of the army.
The higher the morale value, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army, and under normal circumstances, an army with "momentum like a rainbow" already has the combat effectiveness of fewer enemies.
On the contrary, once the morale falls below the 60-point qualification line, it will enter a negative state, and the combat effectiveness will begin to decline, and the more it falls, the greater the combat effectiveness will be weakened.
At the end of the day, the entire army will lose its will and start fleeing in all directions.
This shows how important morale is.
But it's such an important thing, but it's very susceptible.
And among the many means of affecting morale, the enemy's morale is too high, and it will also deal a blow to your own morale.
The two sides of the battle, when they see that the opposite side is violent, if the morale of their side is unstable, it will easily be affected, and they will be weakened by three points before the fight starts.
At this time, although there are some differences, they are not much different.
The other side also knew that it was impossible to fight hard, so it began to turn to morale, no matter how many troops there were, once the morale was low, the soldiers would lose their will to fight and begin to flee, no matter how many troops they had, it was useless!
Chelsea Manchester's morale blow came very suddenly, so that the morale of the defeated Europa Coalition Army fell below the passing line several times, which affected the combat effectiveness of the Europa Coalition Army to a certain extent.
But fortunately, there is still a long way to go.
Although it was a bit thrilling, at this time, several Europa commanders in the army were always able to pull the morale of the army back to more than 60 points in time.
The grasp of timing also shows their old spiciness.
However, the cooperation is a bit unsatisfactory.
But there is no way to do this, and we can't expect them to suddenly change their policy and unify their command in the middle of a battle.
Not to mention that the candidates for this unified command have not yet been decided.
Fortunately, there is still a military advantage to support, so they are not too passive.
It is impossible to maintain a high morale state forever, and as the war continues, the morale of the foreign coalition army begins to gradually decline after launching a strong attack.
Unlike when morale is hit, there is a precipitous drop in morale, this natural decline in morale is relatively flat, so it generally does not have a significant impact on foreign soldiers.
For now, at least, they are maintaining a relatively high morale and launching a powerful attack on the enemy.
However, as experienced veterans, the foreign commanders, led by Chelsea Manchester, were already keenly aware of the change in the situation.
They tried to crush the morale of the opposing side, but the Europa commanders were not vegetarians either, and they directly retreated.
If the morale drops a wave, they will pull a wave, and there is no need to rush to force a counterattack to stabilize the passing line of morale, they are now waiting for the morale of the foreign united army to fall.
If you can't attack for a long time, it will accumulate psychological pressure on the soldiers and even cause a morale blow.
In this state, the decline in morale level will make the morale of the soldiers very fragile, and if they are suddenly hit by the enemy's morale, it is very likely to fall below sixty points at once!
In other words, the Europa commanders are waiting for a great moment to fight back!
"What to do? If this continues, we won't be able to stop the next counterattack from the other side!"
Listening to the sound of the radio communication device, Chelsea Manchester spoke slowly after a few seconds of silence in the command car.
At this moment, his tone was extremely firm,
At the same time, with a bit of determination!
"Wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"When the morale of our army drops, it falls out of the state, and the other side launches a counterattack, we will also forcibly counterattack and fight!"
Chelsea Manchester's arrangement suddenly made several other foreign commanders change their faces.
Because, it's a very risky move.
At the moment when the enemy pulls morale and launches a counterattack, if they also pull morale to launch a counterattack, once they succeed, they can directly give a head-on blow to the enemy who counterattacks, and can double the enemy's morale, and even complete a wave of turnarounds is not impossible.
However, once they fail, then they will completely collapse, and the continuous morale blows are enough to make their foreign coalition army directly collapse!
In the face of such a proposal, the foreign commanders, individual moderate generals, actually had another idea in their minds.
Before they could think about it, Chelsea Manchester, who was in another command car, spoke again.
"I know that in the current situation, if I choose to stabilize the state in advance before the army falls out of state, it will be a safer way to deal with it."
"However, you should be aware that in this way, the battle will only fall into a long war of attrition, and the opposing side will clearly outnumber us, and it will be against us to fight a war of attrition."
"Moreover, the method of constantly pulling morale to maintain the state cannot be stabilized for a long time, because this method will make the morale decline faster and faster!"
How could the veterans present not understand Chelsea Manchester's words, this style of play has actually been tried a long time ago.
To put it simply, it is not to pursue too high morale value, but to stabilize the morale of the army in a certain state through multiple performances of multiple morale skills, so that the soldiers can obtain quite good combat effectiveness bonuses for a long time.
But in fact, this style of play was quickly eliminated, because the cost performance was too low, and the effect was not as good as expected.
Because of this tactic, the morale boost and maintenance time will be lower and lower, while the morale drop will become larger and larger.
On the other hand, the guys in Europa, they maintain their morale at around sixty points, which is a normal state, basically not much combat power bonus, and of course, there are no negative effects.
They deliberately avoided their army from entering a state of "high morale" at this stage, so that they could basically avoid the situation of declining morale levels, because they had never been promoted.
Therefore, the system will not judge them, and some of the side effects that will occur after losing the morale level will naturally not affect them.
Chelsea Manchester's words clearly told them that if they chose to fight like this, it would be okay to survive, but it would be almost a dream to win the chances, and in the end they would still be crushed by the Europa Union and the Dark Elf army.
Either die or die, the situation is as simple as that!
And they naturally understand such truths.
After a brief silence, the commanders spoke.
"You're the commander-in-chief, listen to you."
"Then let's fight, it's better than waiting to die."
The successive statements of a number of foreign commanders also made Chelsea Manchester secretly relieved.
Being able to reach a consensus is naturally the best, their forces are already inferior, and everyone can try to fight for that chance of winning if they are united.
But if you can't unite, then you don't have to fight at all!
Now this sea area on the periphery of the continent has been surrounded by the navy of the Europa camp, unless they win on land, in this way, they can still try to pull up the land defense line and deal with Europa's army, but if they can't win, then there is only a dead end!
During the period when the foreign commanders were unifying their tactical arrangements, the foreign coalition army, which was fighting with the Europa Coalition and the Dark Elf forces, was completely lost due to a drop in morale
out of the bonus state.
At this moment, the change in offensive power is obvious to the battle-hardened veterans.
The Europa commanders, who had waited for this moment for too long, suddenly perked up.
"Hands-on !!"
These two words were shouted from the mouths of Europa commanders and Chelsea Manchester almost at the same time.
The Europa Coalition and the Dark Elves directly sounded the horn of counterattack.
And on this side, the foreign coalition army that has just finished a round of onslaught, in the face of the counterattack of the Europa side, is also a strong counterattack!
In that tyrannical roar, the armies of both sides slammed into each other.
The bloody attack directly intensified this battle to the extreme.
"Kill!!
In this moment of life and death, even Chelsea Manchester, who has always behaved unusually calm, completely broke out.
Because of the continuous activation of skills, his face has become pale, and his mental power is almost overdrawn, and at this moment, he has a splitting headache, and even his lips are trembling slightly.
However, he did not flinch, holding his head as if it was about to burst open, he roared wildly, commanding several armored vehicles on escort duty, and directly rushed towards the enemy army in the distance!
The same is true of the other foreign commanders, and it can be seen that they really have their lives on the line for this battle!
In the face of such a scene, the Europa commanders, who were still fully grasped, also began to become nervous at this moment.
Individual commanders even began to brush up on their skills regardless of the burden of mental strength.
However, the use of skills does not come without a price, it requires mental energy.
Therefore, the strength of a person's "spiritual" attributes is often related to how many skills they can use.
But even if a person with strong mental strength can perform multiple skills in a short period of time, it will be a huge burden.
The mental state of the Europa commanders is definitely better than that of the foreign commanders who have experienced continuous fierce battles before, but after such successive waves of skills, the faces of those ones are uncontrollably a little pale.
Vegeta, who quickly confirmed the battle situation, naturally did not intend to sit idly by, his front row troops had already rushed forward, and the dark elf crossbowmen and Hydra in the back row were intercepting the exotic ambush troops in the rear.
Now, there is only one unit in his hands that can mobilize and help the entire battle situation, and that is the Harpy Force!
With the order, all the harpies under Vegeta's command flew into the battlefield again, and the piercing screaming attack continued to sweep towards the soldiers of the foreign united army.
The negative FF that spread in a large area directly dealt a head-on blow to the foreign soldiers who were fighting a counterattack.
After a brief stalemate, morale collapsed instantly.
At this time, if you can look at this battlefield from the air, you will see that one of the two military formations that had been frantically hedging suddenly collapsed.
It looked as if it was crushed by the attack of the other side.
The scene was chaotic, and at the moment of the army's rout, Chelsea Manchester, who was already suffering from a headache and was close to overdraft, finally reached the limit, and his eyes went black and he fainted.
On the other side, the United Europa Army, which successfully defeated the foreign coalition army, looked at the foreign soldiers who fled, and their morale was instantly boosted.
After a lot of hard work, the foreign coalition army that tried its best in the final counterattack battle still failed to escape defeat.
It was only a matter of time before the remnants of the fleeing army were swept away, and Vegeta didn't even need to worry about it, the other Europa commanders could easily handle it.
However, it was under the premise of winning the battle that there was no trace of joy in the post-war combat conference room.
Because, the casualties of the previous battle were too great
Finish!
According to the statistics after the war, the number of casualties of their combined Europa army directly reached 37,286, and the corpses were directly piled up into a mountain!
As for the number of injured, basically everyone has a lottery, and the total number is more than 100,000.
And how many of these soldiers will be seriously injured and retired after the war is still being counted, but a rough estimate is that there are 30,000 or 40,000 people.
When they first heard this number, the faces of the Europa commanders were filled with disbelief, and they even wondered a few times if the statistics were wrong.
It is completely unimaginable that they should pay such casualties when they have a clear superiority in forces.
It's hard to be happy with this result.
Especially the Europa commanders whose troops were particularly seriously wounded, their faces were already dripping gloomily.
At the cost of such casualties, they didn't even know what to do when they returned.
