Chapter 456: Offensive Evolution
The long-range weapons interweave into a suppressive bombardment.
Various scattered projectiles fell on this relatively large battlefield area, and the explosion and smoke formed a temporary blind spot, which spread with the smoke screen.
The scarlet smoke screen quickly moved towards the edge of the battle line and spread with the bombardment.
As the smoke spread, the poisonous fog completely engulfed the monster infantry at the front, forcing some of the spearmen and grenadiers at the front to retreat.
Grenadiers, like spearmen, are cheap troops.
At the front of the front, as an absolutely disposable expendable troops.
The cost is not even much higher than that of the pikemen. The only valuable thing on their body is two disposable grenades/explosive packs. Their only role is to use medium disposable weapons to curb the offensive of the enemy's elite infantry and medium units.
It does not require special training like bows and arrows, and it also requires a musket like a musket.
It only requires them to use their human abilities, and the throwing ability is engraved in their genes.
But they are also quite lethal. Think about it, when your front-line troops are counterbalanced, throw a few disposable bombs from the front line.
The exchange between the garbage troops and the elite troops was completed so simply. In the fight, although these spearmen could not defeat the elite troops of a higher level, this meant that they would use some other means to achieve their goals.
Because they had such dangerous equipment, the grenadiers had to be selected from those with stronger willpower.
A grenadier turned around and looked into the smoke screen while running back. Through the light stream falling from the sun, those who were very close could see the deformed body standing up again in the smoke screen.
They rely on the vision understood by humans to fight, and this is even more so after the flesh core is implanted to become a flesh turbine.
A boulder hit its metal head directly, and it fell to the ground with its body.
The headless Flesh Turbine stood up again from the ground, stretched out its arms and landed on its empty body, then swung its steam spear and smashed a troll that wanted to sneak attack it from behind into the mud.
Even with the strong will to survive of this grenadier, he was still shocked for a moment by the deformed bodies revealed in the smoke.
It seemed... taller?
The dense smoke and dust mixed with long-range weapons did not shake its body at all.
Ignite the flames, the grenadier who was in extreme panic ignited the medicine bag in his body, waved his spear and threw it at the Flesh Turbine in the smoke.

"Well, the combat efficiency is higher than I thought."
The monitoring troops were suspended in the air, monitoring the enemy's reaction at the scene with fixed telescopes and recording them.
They didn't carry too many weapons. The ship-borne weapons were only enough for their self-defense. One of the weapon pods was replaced with a special telescope high-altitude observation pod.
The fifth time, the territory was already able to manufacture lenses, although the high-precision lens grinding was still handed over to the Holy City for higher cost performance.
Long-distance observation also eliminated their weaknesses.
Away from the battlefield, it was the best place for them to test their weapons.
They did have a backup plan to fight against the Flesh Turbine, but Ji Lin wanted to contain the enemy's advance and cause a little trouble for the enemy... He also wanted to control this island.
The Flesh Turbine was still eating and evolving in the smoke.
Monster infantry is best raised with flesh and blood, and their metal weapons are made of just the right materials to shape armor.

"Let the front-line infantry troops retreat a little..."
Something is too right...
Zhang Ao looked at the arcane artillery in his own line, and then looked at Xu Yan who was disconnecting the gunpowder artillery and heavy catapults on the other side, and commanding the rock elements to be launched one after another.
Under this kind of firepower, I'm afraid that the tanks and heavy armor will also be affected.
The pure kinetic energy strikes are superimposed on each other, and the opponent has no speed advantage to avoid them.
"Concentrate your firepower! Concentrate your firepower to kill a few first, these things are not working!"
The frontline lords are quickly reporting the casualties of their troops. Although their vision is too clear, the casualty figures that pop up on their panels will be false.
Each number means that a soldier has been recovered by the system.
"Audrey, how is the construction unit prepared!"
Zhang Ao called his hero units. If he let them go, his plan to attack would be ruined...
Although cannon fodder is cannon fodder, it is absolutely possible without cannon fodder.
It takes one month to regenerate and reset, and one month is a vacuum period.
"Hurry, the operator is still doing the final coordination... Is the situation on the front line so urgent?"
A woman's voice came to respond to him.
Zhang Ao took a deep breath. As long as Audrey brought her control rune construct troops, the problem would be solved... The constructs he got through the A-level mission were also very special things.
His eyes fell on the turbid scarlet and brown-gray fog in the distance.
If something is afraid of being consumed by low-quality monsters, then it will force them to put their elite forces on the gambling table.
They have seen this reality in the front-line troops.
The cannon fodder blocked the progress of these special constructs.
Those who walked out of the smoke again had a lot of damage, cracks, and ruptures on their bodies that could be seen by the naked eye.
But none of the constructs completely lost their combat capability.
They did not simply break off the opponent's body and merge it into their own body, but ate steel and flesh to make themselves... stronger in their current form.
Higher, bigger, stronger.
They grew again along the line of flesh and steel, and the combat efficiency of those biological limbs was far less than the flesh-mechanical joints they evolved.
So they dismantled and devoured.
Their weapons were not eroded to their satisfaction, so they adjusted their bodies to grow new limbs.
The new long arms stretched along the shoulders, and the flesh and steel grew a fused stacked armor in the slender body, which was more bloated and heavy than the previous slender body.
Carrying three steel legs.
Four walking joints downward.
The boulder fell on the second-stage evolving flesh turbine, breaking its limbs and suddenly exploding to destroy one of its jointed legs.
Then it reached the thermionic spheres. These high-temperature restraint spheres generated at the front of the magic cannon would lose restraint the moment they hit, and apply the high heat to objects in the attack radius.
Their attack was quite effective under the concentrated firepower strategy. One concentrated attack wave destroyed five second-stage flesh turbines with a mixed attack and made a large number of flesh turbines incapable of action.
When heat and kinetic energy are concentrated at one point, they can destroy a flesh turbine. The high heat will reduce its ability to move, and then the saturated boulder will destroy the rune core in its body.
Almost all the flesh turbines lost their combat capability after being half dissolved and smashed. The growing flesh slowly slid from the steel and dripped onto the lawn, emitting bursts of the pungent smell of motor oil.
If they learned anything from the battle...
Heavy rocks or rough forged weapons were thrown forward from their bodies, crossing a distance of one meter and pulling a long scarlet road in the infantry array.
They also learned to throw things in a given direction, towards their enemies.
The dead monster infantry left them with a considerable amount of hard projectiles... and they were deadly enough.
Distance from the infantry line, distance, 20 meters.
Infantry casualties in the first round of contact, 714 people.
