Sargon, Caught Between a Wolf in Front and a Tiger Behind.

Even so, none of his own people died; instead, most of them had their limbs broken.

Whenever asked what weapon caused their injuries, these people always say they were hit by peas.

Moreover, it was a very fast pea; in the blink of an eye, the fist-sized curved head smashed into it and then exploded instantly.

And there's an even more terrifying Corn Missile that can not only blast out huge craters, but also pop out popcorn.

"Faced with artillery fire, can't we just go around it?"

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to go around it, but the artillery positions are relentlessly attacking us."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, the soldiers of the Abundance Army can carry artillery emplacements while running, and can even carry cannons directly on their shoulders to fire them horizontally."

That's all... I don't need to bother with this.

In reality, some military concepts are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Motorized infantry often doesn't mean that the infantrymen ride motorcycles, but rather that the infantrymen are motorized.

Similarly, the Abundance Army's artillery mobility does not mean that artillerymen can drive vehicles and fire missiles like in a game, but rather that artillerymen can carry their cannons around like vehicles.

Therefore, the positions could be moved at any time, which is why the Sargon army suffered setbacks.

The artillery positions moved so fast, they were faster than people.

Three nights later.

The marshals of various countries stayed at the front lines, discussing their next steps in their respective languages.

Beneath the tents lay a network of trenches.

Although other countries do not have the mature Originium Firearm like Lateran, Originium Cannon have long been in service.

With the advent of cannons, naturally came all sorts of trenches.

At the same time, the construction of trenches can also defend against warlock attacks, and apart from the long construction time, it has almost no disadvantages.

At this moment, the wind blowing from the desert raged through the trenches, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Just as the marshals from various countries were sipping red wine and chatting and laughing about military strategies.

Suddenly, a loud cannon shot rang out from afar.

The marshals were terrified and, with great discipline, took refuge in air-raid shelters.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions rang out from their own positions.

But unexpectedly, no one screamed; instead, the air was filled with the smell of burning.

"Smoke Bomb?"

The marshals emerged from the air-raid shelter and found their vision shrouded in smoke.

As the wind continued to blow through the trenches, the smoke didn't travel too fast due to the crisscrossing trenches, but the area above the position was already completely shrouded in smoke.

It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The marshals had a premonition that something big would happen tonight, and it might even be aimed at them.

"All command posts should take cover inside the cave. Staff officers, quickly send people to protect the staff officers of all countries."

Decapitation Strike... The marshals reacted instantly, but they weren't the only ones in command at the highest level.

Staff officers and platoon leaders of army groups are also part of the command; without them, the marshals would be like commanders without troops.

Even mobilizing the troops at hand is a problem.

But it was too late; the smoke continued to spread, and the air even became somewhat choking.

The marshals quickly kept their elite troops by their side and then continued to huddle in the air-raid shelter.

It's very unethical, but saving my own life is the most important thing. Who knows what strategy the enemy might employ...

However, the marshals inside the air-raid shelter immediately heard what sounded like watermelons exploding around them.

The sound was very faint, and it was accompanied by all sorts of screams.

That was the sound of the squad leaders getting their heads smashed.

In the eyes of these commanders whose heads had been smashed, the last thing they saw was a group of terrifying soldiers wearing strange armor and gas masks.

Even if his crossbow bolts pierced the opponent's body, they could not cause any damage.

The opponent was wielding a strange weapon resembling a mace, with spikes on the sphere, capable of blowing one's head apart with a single swing, and also had a small Pea Shooter Device attached to his waist.

Their shoulder armor was inscribed with a Sarkaz Script.

Trench Surprise Soldier.

This night was a nightmare for all the soldiers in the trenches of the allied forces, as ghosts dressed in strange clothes roamed around them, making it impossible for them to fall asleep.

These monsters came with the mist and went with the mist; they could not be killed by crossbow bolts or fire breath.

But the other party only needs to strike lightly to smash your head into a bloody mess.

As night fell and smoke filled the air, the inside of the trenches was stained red with blood, and even the tiny particles floating in the air smelled of blood.

Finally, the long-awaited dawn arrived, and the pitch-black smoke gradually dissipated.

What remained was a scene of utter devastation; every squad leader of the Antimatter Legion had been precisely beheaded.

Even when they were being beheaded, some of them were completely unaware that their sleeping comrades were behind them.

Chapter 157 Sargon, Caught Between a Wolf in Front and a Tiger Behind.

A resounding victory.

After washing off the bloodstains, Huang Cao experienced the thrill of war for the first time.

With just this one battle, the name of Abundance should resound Terra's land.

This was just a small raid, merely a scare; historically, Trench Surprise Soldier raids were not limited to just one instance.

Huang Cao has already swallowed half of Sargon's land, but he does not want his territory to stop there.

The two sides are now separated by a desert, and the border is tightly secured.

With absolutely no buffer zone, Huang Cao had no intention of backing down.

In his vision, he would eventually occupy 50% of Sargon's land, while the Sargon government would occupy 40%.

The remaining 10% was used as a military buffer zone.

To avoid a prolonged tug-of-war that leads to mental exhaustion, it is necessary to generate a sufficient amount of fear.

If you don't back down, you must instill fear in the other party so that they dare not step into the remaining 10%.

Huang Cao already had a plan in mind.

For the next period of time, the multinational coalition forces faced only wave after wave of Trench Surprise Soldier.

This lasted for three whole months, without stopping every night.

After all, the outstanding feature of the Abundance Warrior blessed by Master Huang is that they are difficult to kill.

Combined with specially forged weapons, it may not be able to kill the elite units in the armies of various countries.

However, modern warfare is no longer an era in which highly elite units can dominate.

As for being caught?

That's even more impossible, since the equipment for Trench Surprise Soldier was designed specifically for trench warfare.

Although elite units possess extremely strong physical abilities, they are completely unable to use their skills effectively inside trenches.

They are no match for the lightly armed Abundance Warrior of Abundance.

In this battle, the Abundance artillery once again demonstrated its power, practically chasing down the enemy army.

Even when facing a multinational coalition, they won't back down too much.

Over the past few months, the soldiers of the multinational coalition have been pushed to their limits, and the command system has been completely paralyzed.

At that time, the ability to issue commands relied entirely on the marshals shouting through makeshift loudspeakers, as wireless communication had not yet been developed.

Even wired communication was not yet fully widespread, so three months later, the troops sent by various countries were 100 kilometers behind.

Moreover, a countermeasure has already been devised: if you set up artillery, then I'll set up artillery too, and we'll have a resource exchange.

This is simply a misconception; Sargon's side was expending real resources.

Master Huang's bombs are all created by Abundance. They are powerful and their production relies almost entirely on the Abundance power of Abundance, making them extremely low-cost.

However, it did achieve its goal, as resources from various countries gradually arrived in Sargon.

With the added coverage of artillery positions, Huang Cao's Decapitation Strike gradually became less efficient.

Because the two sides were hundreds of miles apart and both were equipped with excellent lookouts.

They could see enemy activities 100 kilometers away in a minute. Due to the pre-planned deployment, Huang Cao's Decapitation Strike were always carried out separately from the main force.

The basic procedure is to break into the enemy lines after resting at the main camp, but now the battle lines are stretched out and even the travel time is a hassle.

To advance, they would have to confront the Allied artillery head-on. Although they wouldn't be able to damage it, their advance speed would certainly be affected.

Huang Cao Warriors can indeed run at supersonic speeds on land, but their own Abundance Warrior cannot, unless they receive a blessing, but now is not the time.

To receive even greater blessings, one must possess a more resilient spirit; war is also a test for the Abundance Warrior.

The number of artillery pieces in the multinational coalition has reached its peak, and Master Huang can now be considered to be fighting half the world single-handedly.

Ursus, Iberia, Kazimierz, Sargon.

There are other unidentified forces secretly funding Sargon.

"Forget it, the strategic goal has been achieved. Gaining nearly half of the country's territory is already a huge profit."

Too much can be bad, so Master Huang decided to first digest the occupied land; a target of 100,000 fully armed men was still too small.

Furthermore, sorcerers from various countries have arrived at the scene. Their armies have maximized physical resistance, but their magical defense is extremely weak.

According to the enemy cards in Arknights, Master Huang's army has physical resistance that reaches the numerical limit and then gets a "+", while magic resistance is equal to C, which is basically non-existent.

The Abundance Warrior relies entirely on its high health and strong recovery ability, and its equipment is also designed to increase physical resistance.

Everyone has physical attack power, but not everyone has magical attack power.

Huang Cao is indeed not afraid of Originium Arts; no matter how many fireballs hit her, they only serve to feed her.

However, the magic in this world is not limited to Originium; "most" does not mean "all".

After breaking down the buffer line, Huang Cao decisively ordered his troops to retreat and set up cannons near the buffer zone.

The marshals of the multinational coalition also realized Huang Cao's strategic intentions and tacitly and collectively complied with them.

Because emperors from various countries have all said, "We should do everything we can to stop this monster, Victoria, as soon as possible. Don't we need money for our military expenses?"

Apart from Sargon, all the other nations that came to this desert area were expeditionary forces, and Sargon alone could not bear the daily expenses.

In fact, up to this point, Emperor of Sargon has not spent a single penny on the expeditionary force that came to his aid.

And they even tried to elicit sympathy.

"I've already lost more than half of my territory, and they still want to take money from me? Aren't they afraid I'll surrender on the spot?"

At this point, we must set aside all pride for the sake of national development.

It's not like I begged you to come!

It's shameless, but it's the only way we can do it.

After all, if he had to spend money, even if he managed to thwart Victoria's offensive in the future, Sargon would be close to complete bankruptcy.

In the end, the country will still perish, and may even be divided up and fragmented by foreign powers.

If Sargon's future truly ends up like this, it's better for it to be swallowed up by a single country now. At least in the worst-case scenario, a primary target can be quickly identified when a rebellion breaks out in the future.

Therefore, Emperor of Sargon had to strike a perfect balance between morality and reality.
