A Space Ranger commander named Jim Reynolds has proven that a machine gunner unit without a field medic or a medical boat is no different from committing suicide.

Unfortunately, the coalition government does not seem to understand this.

Or maybe they see the loss of people in war as much as the loss of the stock market.

And even Lu Xiang, after hearing Song Lan's thoughts, showed a stunned look.

"You mean to let the Devourers hatch a front-line medical force?"

Even she never thought about this possibility.

According to her habitual thinking, if they want to avoid casualties as much as possible, they need to cut into the battlefield first, eliminating potential enemy forces one by one before the real threat affects the frontline troops.

Not only would this require a highly accurate intelligence network, but it would also require scalpel-like decapitation, and with the current strength and technology of the swarm, they would at best be able to sustain a city-wide offensive and defensive battle.

However, according to the coalition government's offensive strategy, these three units composed of volunteers will encircle and suppress the Third Neutral Country from more than a dozen directions, and the battle line will almost span the entire Third Neutral Country.

Not to mention that the current number of biters is far from being able to affect the entire battle situation, even if they can do it, such a large-scale operation will inevitably attract the attention of the high-level of the coalition government, and they themselves are likely to be exposed to the high-level field of vision.

Because of this, there are also different opinions within the swarm.

Both Meddell and Father Bruno strongly advised to ignore the casualties of the advance troops, and instead they could take the opportunity to allow the main force of the swarm to penetrate deep into the heart of the Eclipse Cult.

"In the first few days of the advance force's arrival at the front, the most likely scenario is that large forces are scattered by mutant creatures, and as the main army is defeated, the tide of battle will shift to skirmishes inside the city."

Song Lan looked at the map of the Third Neutral Country that had been spread out and said, "They will use the surrounding buildings as cover for defense, and we can provide supplies and assistance to the survivors in the city from these areas when the time comes." ”

It's a pity that the Devourers don't have the energy to hatch a caring nurse sister to protect them on the frontline battlefield, and they can only provide a highly mobile Digger unit to provide those remnants with a first-aid spray that has been improved by using the Devourer's genes.

It will likely take several days for the front-line soldiers trapped in the Third Neutral State to come to terms with reality.

The rout of the first battle was inevitable.

The conscripts still believe that this operation is a bug barbecue contest, and according to the information investigated by Dr. Shiratake, the person in charge of the deployment of front-line troops is not an important person in the military department at all, and even a third of the officers are novices who are entering the battlefield for the first time.

"The main task of the swarm is to keep the scattered soldiers alive in the city as much as possible, and to hold out as much as possible until we return from the 'mines'."

"I still don't get it."

Fr. Bruno questioned Song Lan's decision, "Why bother with irrelevant people? If we use them as bait, our actions will be more efficient. ”

"Because the night heron calls them sacrifices."

Nightheron was aware of the massive conscription, but instead of worrying about the archbishop, she seemed to welcome the soldiers to be sent to the front, and with the religious title of "The Sacrifice of the End", he suspected that they were necessary sacrifices for a ritual.

Those vague hunches made him realize that the gods, or the beings at the top, were not lies to be used to deceive people, but that they really existed somewhere in the world, watching everything that was happening in the world.

In fact, after they returned from the Wisteria Academy, Lu Xiang sensed a key problem.

If the theory of "fate" put forward by the former headmaster is correct, then who is secretly manipulating the fate of the coalition government and even those shadows after those upper life forms have been emptied?

For this question, Song Lan can first eliminate an erroneous answer for everyone.

He certainly didn't do it anyway.

Real story.

And after learning about the sudden turmoil and war that broke out in the Third Neutral Country, he suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps, psionic energy is not the only way to establish contact with the upper world, and those who are peering into this world from unknown corners are not necessarily the only pioneers who have completed their ascension through psionic energy.

He and Father Bruno were on the same page.

The answer to this question should be hidden in the deepest part of the "pit".

After the strategic thinking was agreed, the Devourer also began a new round of busyness, and the soldiers who were called up for the army would probably never know that at their feet, as they familiarized themselves with the operation of exoskeleton armor, a medical swarm for the urban battlefield was gradually taking shape.

They are a mutation of the Burgers, transforming the acid originally used to kill enemies into a powerful rescue spray, their powerful forelimbs that easily hold the victim to their body and immobilize them, and the sharp mouthparts under their mouths effectively penetrate the skin of the injured and inject anesthetics into their bodies.

During the mutation, Dr. Guff and Dr. Oleg took into account the experience of the injured during the treatment, allowing the digging worms to grow soft flesh and blood in their abdomen, so that when they were immobilized by their forelimbs, they would not be injured in the waist.

Soon, the new mutant creature was given the title of "Battlefield Doctor".

While they won't warm your heart like the Nurse Sister, they will keep you alive on the battlefield.

In addition to this, the Crescent Moon has also hatched two new flying units.

The Wyvern variant removes the ability to spray acid and replaces it with more storage space, allowing them to collect scattered war materials on the battlefield at breakneck speed, and transport desperate soldiers to safety if necessary.

The other mutated creature is much larger, and will parasitize on top of the building, mainly to collect and integrate war materials collected by the Wyverns, and to drop the Field Medic around the city at a faster rate.

The emergence of these medical-type mutant creatures has once again subverted Medell's perception of devourers.

She never imagined that these individuals, created from war machines, would one day be able to take on the task of supporting healing.

In the midst of intensive preparations, the day of the expedition quietly came.

On the eve of the expedition, the giant airship released a new speech.

Acknowledging the positive response of the citizens to the conscription, the Chairman of the Council expressed the determination of the coalition government to win the coalition government with great force, and in his speech he skillfully avoided the dangers he might face, and used very incendiary language to give each soldier another bloody meal before the expedition, which made many people so excited that they did not sleep all night.

However, Song Lan will never appear in the list of insomniacs.

For the upcoming expedition, he went to bed early that night.

Song Lan firmly believes that a good night's sleep is an indispensable part of victory.
