25. Dead Line (37)
Roland was not surprised by the tactics adopted by the "Legion".
In other words, he is in the position of the legion, and will use his numerical superiority to continue to exert pressure on the enemy until the opponent can no longer bear the pressure and collapse.
Even strong metals can crack and break due to accumulated fatigue after a certain number of repeated bending.
This is true for metals, and it is also true for humans.
Repeated and monotonous intensive fire attacks will not only continue to cause physical fatigue, but also the mental level of accumulated stress and fatigue is even greater than the physical level.
The reason why the highway will curve at a certain distance is not only restricted by the terrain and landform, but also because the large section of straight driving is easy to cause visual and mental fatigue to the driver, and then induce traffic accidents.
The tactics used by the "Legion" are similar.
Artillery Fire Coverage - Close Melee - Artillery Fire Coverage - Close Melee Combat.
It is as if the endless cycle erodes each other little by little, until some final moment......
A simple tactic that was clear at a glance, but it kept Roland immobile.
It's not that he hasn't thought of a coping strategy, but none of them are feasible.
In the face of absolutely overwhelming numbers and a complete system, no matter how strong an individual is, it is meaningless to have any kind of clever strategy.
Counterattack?
In the face of the tens of thousands, inexhaustible "legions", conventional means have no effect at all, even with weapons of mass destruction to clear the field, there is no guarantee that the inorganic lifeforms with strong vitality to the point of madness can be completely wiped out, you must know that even if you leave behind small fragments that are invisible to the naked eye, the "legion" can still make a comeback.
Fall back?
If he could, Roland would have fled long ago. At this moment, a bunch of drones overhead are constantly circling like vultures, and there is a circle of ray-type and heavy-ray ray-type types that cannot join the ground attack. Looking around, it was even more crowded by the main force of the "legion". Retreat? Where to retreat?
Not to mention that there is a nine-headed monster overhead that simply can't be ignored.
As long as the encirclement is maintained and the opponent continues to be consumed, victory will inevitably belong to the "legion" - this is the safest and most certain tactic today.
This is how Roland interprets the tactical intent of the "Legion". At first glance, it seems that this is indeed the case, but it is ...... After all, he is not dealing with a machine that can only rigidly execute instructions.
Silently counting down the time when the shelling would end, calculating when the melee type would rush up and when it would break away in what direction, a corner of his vision skewed a little.
“......?”
The moment the doubts and alarms sounded in my heart at the same time, the scenery in front of me moved sideways at a rapid speed, and after a second late, the cognition of "being hit" and the violent impact seeped into all corners of the body.
Before Roland landed, several sneaky figures emerged from the empty wasteland.
It was a few silvery-white unknown species.
Compared to its intimidating insects, the unknown species has an incredibly elegant shape.
The overall silhouette looks like a big cat with silver fur, slender limbs, a smooth curved body shape that has evolved for high-speed running, and an alert and elegant head - this is like a silver leopard.
But the leopard will not have a bright silver carapace, three thorny tails, and no 30mm sniper gun or optical/electromagnetic camouflage.
High-mobility stealth special combat type.
One of the very rare special beings in the entire "legion" that is completely homogeneous.
In front of the "legion" there is only a frontal battlefield, and there is no life in the land after the "legion" has been ravaged by the iron hooves, and there is no law and order war or sweeping war. An endless army marched from one end of the horizon to the other, destroying everything in its way, killing all who were alive and burning everything that was visible. In the name of the "legion", all things are given death.
For the army of the undead who spread death and destruction, it is enough to crush the opponent with numbers, and cleverness, strategy, and tactics are all unnecessary burdens.
This is not the case.
If it is a machine that simply follows the program, it will never do anything other than the tactical options provided by the program. But the "legion" is an inorganic lifeform, with an alien form with the appearance of insects and machines. Under the premise of "effectively destroying the enemy", we will continue to study and learn to hone our ultimate weapon.
Driven by pure, unsuperfluous malice, more effective hunters are born.
The basic tactics of the "legion" are to ravage the enemy's positions through air strikes and long-distance artillery bombardment, and then to deal with the remnants of the enemy by a large base of reconnaissance and melee combat vehicles. If you come across a particularly strong fortification that you can't take for a while, summon heavy firepower units - such as the Ray and Heavy Ray - to sweep away the fortifications and the enemy. However, in the ever-changing battlefield, fire support cannot be expected to be always timely and accurate.
That's where the high-mobility stealth special operations type comes in.
As the name suggests, the selling point of this model is its powerful and stealthy capabilities.
The combination of the maglev mechanism and the lightweight frame results in a more melee maneuverability, while minimizing the mechanical sound of the walking foot, even when moving at high speeds, like a cat, without making any foot sounds. Plus electromagnetic/optical camouflage...... No one can detect their existence until they are shot by a long-range 30mm sniper gun using liquid propellants, and until they are sliced into pieces by a specially made high-frequency blade like a whip. Even if the camouflage system fails, in front of the ultra-high-speed killing beast that rivals bullets, no matter what humans do, the result will be the same.
Whenever there is no time for fire support to be dispatched, the high-mobility stealth special operations type in the standby state will be dispatched, and each time it will wreak havoc for only a moment, after which the "legion" will pass through the battlefield full of minced flesh and blood without firing a shot.
Based on the effectiveness of the high-mobility stealth special combat model, the new generation model is in the design stage under review. In order to make this terrible fetus croak, the "legion" is carefully examining the corpse at its feet, cutting off the intact and fresh head, peeling the scalp, sawing open the skull. Cautiously, like a treasure hunt, it rummags through the human brain. In order to successfully produce more efficient killers, it is necessary to learn more about the prey......
A flawless killing syndicate that doesn't give its opponent a chance to take advantage of it - this is the "legion", an army of the undead on the march in no end.
In the face of such an army, whether it is a human or an orc, even if it is an ancient species, it is difficult to say the odds of victory.
And the one who commands this army of the undead, who can ravage the entire world anytime and anywhere if he has the thought, is the nine-headed dragon entrenched in the sky, which has never cast a glance at the ground. The silent dragon head stared at the distant horizon in all directions, and its deep gaze extended into the endless void.
It is as if to silently tell that no matter how hard human beings try, they cannot reach the realm of God;
As if a silent mockery - the legion alone can slaughter all the fools who dare to rebel against the gods;
As if sighing silently—why are humans so stupid as to challenge the gods;
As if he was silently teasing - for Roland, who was so weak, there was no need to do it himself.
Echoing his master's unspoken words, the high-mobility stealth type disappeared and waved its tail to pounce on Roland.
