A few kilometers ahead of the main fortress, on the defensive line, the armies of both sides faced each other from roughly half a kilometer apart.
The Zerg soldiers on the Zerg side were still dressed in combat uniforms and carried battle blades resembling curved sabers.
The color of their combat uniforms had changed. They had gone from their original black to black tinged with red, as though coated in a layer of resin.
This was a heat-resistant coating urgently selected by the military research department of the Zerg Alliance. They had originally researched this field, but when fighting humans, the humans rarely used flames or high-temperature soldiers. Although the research had yielded results, it had been shelved and never widely implemented.
After the Warhammers suffered a crushing defeat in the previous battle, the Zerg Alliance learned a painful lesson. They obtained the formula for this heat-resistant coating from the military research department and had the Watchtower, which had greater production capacity in this field, manufacture it. The finished coating was then sent directly to Dusk Fortress on the border.
After the various units arrived at Dusk Fortress, the coating was distributed, and the Zerg soldiers applied the mixture of "thermosetting grease" and "liquid chromium-aluminum" to their combat uniforms themselves.
Its heat resistance was not especially impressive, merely average. However, because it contained thermosetting grease, the coating made anything it adhered to extremely hard after exposure to high temperatures.
The hotter the environment, the stronger the defensive power of the combat uniforms worn by the Zerg soldiers. The joints of the uniforms could not be coated, or once the surrounding temperature reached a certain level, the uniforms would harden and restrain the Zerg soldiers.
With the Zerg Alliance's ability to manufacture war materiel, it could produce combat uniforms with exceptional
