If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will spend this year's Christmas in war.
The battle reports from the front line are becoming more urgent day by day. Rather than saying that we are fighting against the invasion, it is more accurate to say that we have given up on direct resistance and are only trying to delay the enemy's advance northward.
Count Innsbruck seemed to have made up his mind to use this city as a base to fight a protracted battle with the enemy.
Roads were blocked and barricades were set up, and roofs were reinforced to prevent fire and smashing. Even after it was confirmed that the epidemic had completely subsided, the walls that had been demolished in the quarantine area were erected again, and they were built taller and stronger, forming an inner city within a city.
The wealthy businessmen, nobles, and members of the earl's family who originally lived outside the city all moved into the quarantine area to live.
It is ironic that this urban area, which was once a place that people were terrified of, has now become the safest place that all citizens envy.
In addition to the renovation within the city, Alfred also had the buildings outside the city razed to the ground and began digging trenches frantically, as if he was going to turn this place into a meat grinder.
"The form of warfare this time is different from what you have seen before." Asker introduced the girls as they walked through the trenches, "If we used medieval-style cold weapon combat to deal with mutants and extraordinary monsters before, then what we are fighting this time is a hot weapon mode similar to World War I and World War II."
"I know you don't know what the Middle Ages are, or what World War I and World War II are. It's okay. I'll explain it in detail next."
"First of all, there is no need to wear armor anymore. Aside from military-grade protective equipment like power armor, conventional iron and steel armor can protect against damage from wild beasts and supernatural creatures, but it is extremely vulnerable to bullets. It is better to take it off to reduce your weight."
"Secondly, the hot weapon mode of combat is a typical case of a strong spear and a weak shield. Cold weapon combat focuses on attack, defense, and evasion, while hot weapon combat eliminates defense and leaves you either attacking or dodging."
"That is, either suppressive firepower or guerrilla warfare. In most cases, guerrilla warfare is more important than suppressive firepower."
"Eleanor and Sidlifa, you have the bulletproof advantage of power armor. Peggy and I have enough physical strength to withstand the frontal bombardment of bullets. The four of us are very adaptable to hot weapons warfare."
"And the remaining people, because they don't have the ability to resist bullets, must have a mature guerrilla mode, that is, how to avoid enemy shooting."
"We have a mental blind spot." Medea and Nora looked at each other and said.
"The trench is winding and has many shadows. I can hide in the shadows." Mia replied.
"I'm a sniper." Mi'er's answer was the simplest. A sniper would keep the farthest distance to avoid entering the range of the opponent's automatic assault rifle.
"Shira." Ask frowned and looked over, "Do you have any skills that can save your life?"
"I..." Sheila was slightly stunned. It seemed that my skills were all focused on control.
Air pressure? No, even at the limit of Storm's ability, the compressed air wall cannot resist the shooting of bullets.
