Cam's words silenced Jonathan.
For the first time, he felt the pressure of being the commander-in-chief. He recalled the confidence with which Chloe used to command operations and the coolness with which he strategized.
Only then did Jonathan realize that his ability was much worse than Chloe.
Queen trusted him so he handed over all the troops to him. There was expectation in this. He is Queen's uncle and he must prove himself with his strength.
He can't let people spread the rumor that he was promoted because of his blood. He can't bring shame to His Majesty Queen and bring shame to the family.
Taking a deep breath, Jonathan continued to ask on the Internet: "Sir Cam, can you please help check my front layout? If you have any questions, please remind me immediately."
Two minutes later, Cam replied, "I don't think there's anything wrong with your arrangement. If I have to say there's a problem, it's just too standard."
"I can only do this. The limit of my current ability is to make no mistakes. Mr. Cam, please help me convey the first order to the entire army." Through the mage's Clairvoyance, Jonathan could already see the rushing association Swarm.
"Everyone must fight hard and stand firm. I guarantee this in the name of Queen. For the frontline warriors, the surviving officers will be promoted to one level, and the pensions of those killed in battle will be doubled. For the survival of mankind, for the future of the empire, and for Queen, kill all the demon lackeys in front of you."
Through Swarm Network, Jonathan's orders were passed to generals at all levels by Cam, who then conveyed the orders to the entire army.
Facing the first line of defense of Association Swarm, there were 150,000 Croland troops stationed, and the commander was General John.
Through Mr. Cam's mental network, John quickly conveyed the commander-in-chief's order. He didn't know how much morale the commander-in-chief's order could inspire, but in short, he was also beating a drum in his heart.
John knew the combat power of those terrifying beasts. If only used against them with cold weapons, one terrifying beast could defeat five human soldiers. He could only hope that the new continuous-fire magic crystal gun and magic crystal cannon brought by Senator Isabella would play a greater role.
The terrifying beasts that could not be seen to the end were like an ocean, and they were opening into the Consume green grassland. Soon they rushed into the range of the artillery.
"Tell the magic crystal artillery unit, from A3 to E5, advance the barrage and fire continuously." John ordered the communication mage on the side, "Don't stop the artillery without my order."
Soon the whistling sound of artillery shells passed over the heads of the soldiers and fell like raindrops on the Association Swarm.
The Croland soldiers in the frontline trenches were excited as they watched the cannons blasting the terrifying monsters in the distance into pieces. They had never seen such a fierce and effective bombardment. Can anything really get through such an artillery barrage?
The reality is that not only do they exist, but there are many. Terror beasts and poison beasts do not care about casualties at all. As long as they can still run, they will rush through the artillery fire and emerge one after another from the smoke and dust stirred up by the artillery fire.
The soldiers under John had all fought against the terrifying beasts. They quickly recovered from the shock, picked up their weapons and pulled the triggers.
"Death to the devil's lackey!" A repeating magic crystal gunman pressed his finger on the trigger and fired wildly into the distance, using this method to dispel his fear and vent his anger.
"Everyone, listen up. When you run out of bullets, pick up a spear and fight. When the spear breaks, pick up the weapons of your comrades and fight. If you have nothing left, just imitate those monsters and bite them to death with your teeth!"
An officer was doing morale mobilization. He was one of the beneficiaries of the new policy. He reported the officer who had embezzled military pay and replaced the officer.
"Queen has given us ample military pay, warm clothes, and delicious food rations. People should be grateful! Even if we die in battle, the pension will be enough for our family to survive."
"And we are fighting for all mankind! We are fighting evil and justice! I don't want to see any deserters! Do you understand?"
"Understood! For humanity, for Queen!" the soldiers replied in unison.
The firepower of the magic crystal guns faced by the Terror Beasts was much greater than before, and its accuracy was much higher. The losses suffered by the Terror Beasts in this charge were greater than ever before. At least 20,000 of the 100,000 Association beasts died on the way to the charge.
The Terror Beasts and Venom Beasts that rushed into the Crowland line did not start to slaughter as before, but were divided by several trenches and delayed.
This kind of trench was also invented by Mr. Cam. It allows soldiers in the field to have a hiding place, so as to better protect themselves and attack the enemy.
Some Association Swarm jumped over, and some jumped into the trenches. Those who jumped over would be shot by soldiers in the second trench; those who jumped into the trenches would be surrounded by human soldiers from front to back, and attacked from both sides.
The use of trenches as a defensive fortification can greatly level the fighting power between ordinary humans and Association Swarm. To put it cruelly speaking, it is better to use the lives of soldiers in exchange for killing and wounding Association Swarm.
A defensive front consisting of three trenches, each with 50,000 soldiers deployed.
Neither Jonathan nor John thought they could stop the Swarm monster. Jonathan made his guess based on the Zergling and Needle Crawler under Chloe, and John made his guess based on the monster's combat power.
The result was far beyond their expectations. The Hundred Thousand Association Swarm was really blocked in the first round. Three hours later, there was still a bloody battle on the battlefield.
The trenches effectively separated the Swarm monsters, and the firing of magic crystal guns and the explosion of magic crystal bombs never stopped during these three hours.
This chaotic situation made John completely unaware of the battle situation on the first two fronts. There were very few Swarm monsters that rushed to the third front, so few that they were eliminated without causing any harm to them.
As time went by, the gunshots and explosions coming from the first two fronts became less and less, and more and more Swarm monsters rushed over.
John probably guessed that his soldiers could no longer hold on anymore, and his wise move now was to let the magic crystal cannon bombard the lost position.
But these soldiers were too brave and loyal. Only a few soldiers became deserters and fled to the third front. More soldiers fulfilled their promises and held on to the front with their lives.
A rush of blood surged into John's head. He couldn't see his soldiers being consumed like this.
"Communication Mage, tell Councilor Isabella to send troops to take over the third trench."
"Others, especially those who have just escaped, it is time for you to wash away your shame. If you are willing to charge with us, forget the blame. If you are not willing, I will implement military law immediately."
"Crolan soldiers have never been known for their courage, and now it's time to show those men the courage of the Crorans. Elite high-ranking Knight, reserves, and all soldiers take up arms and charge with me! Take back the line! Rescue our brothers!"
After that, John loaded a few magic crystal bombs, pulled out his sword, and took the lead to rush out.
