Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

After losing a lot of veterans, Ursus learned to avoid engaging the Sami in the snow forest and instead use a counter-sniping tactic of clearing the entire forest.

As a result, the Ursus Eastern Route Army learned to use magic to defeat magic, employing a variety of tactics such as sniping, guerrilla warfare, and sniping assembly points.

If the attacking army were different, Kazimir might not even last this month before it disappears.

Ursus's original strategy was to use superior horses against middle-tier horses, middle-tier horses against inferior horses, and inferior horses against superior horses—the eastern Duchy of Kosieche was that inferior horse—and no one would care no matter how badly they died.

However, now it has become a situation where the best horses face the best horses, the middle horses face the worst horses, and the worst horses face the middle horses. Under this strategy, the probability of winning is very low.

"Whoosh!" The sound of Ursus's mortar made the Sarkaz sniper instinctively bury his head, while the other sniper operators were still chatting and laughing, peeking out. They were obviously novices who had never fought against Kazdel's heavy armored team.

"Hummingbird!" Several Hummingbird drones appeared on the edge of the city. These reconnaissance and strike drones, modeled after the Kazdel Hummingbird gunships, are new equipment in Ursus and are very difficult to deal with.

The moment the under-barrel grenade launcher appeared, it unleashed a barrage of fire on the Kasimir defenders. The mobile artillery, which had just stopped and was not yet set up, was destroyed instantly, and the exploding ammunition blew the surrounding neighboring soldiers in all directions.

"Idiots!" The coordination between the various units in Kazimir was basically zero. Some of the well-trained units had already taken up their positions and prepared cover and counter-battery measures.

Some, however, were still dragging their feet on unloading and installing military equipment, taking their time as if they were strolling through the streets.

With an optical sight ensnaring a hummingbird, a light pull of the trigger sent a burst of fire piercing the bird's shell. Before confirming the result, the sniper immediately ensnared a second target, firing five shots in quick succession. The Sarkaz sniper then decisively grabbed his rifle, turned and ran, grabbing a chain on the side of the tower and sliding to the ground, leaving everyone else in the same spot stunned.

Just as a Kazimierz archer was about to reach out to stop him, the man vanished. "Tch, what a shameless Sarkaz demon, what a coward. Never mind him."

I had just raised my crossbow, ready to teach the Ursus assault soldier who had popped up a lesson, when I heard a loud bang, and then I knew nothing more.

"Tsk, a bunch of useless trash!" The Snow Rabbit Rifle has a strong tracer effect, which means that it will be exposed very quickly after firing. If it were just a few crossbowmen, Ursus might not necessarily waste shells, but if it is the trajectory of the Snow Rabbit Rifle, the Ursus will definitely fire back instinctively.

The army groups attacking Kazimir had previously fought against the Northern Principality—yes, the one in Old Xia's Northern Farms region, engaging in guerrilla and mobile warfare. It was practically a conditioned reflex.

Seeing the Tower Flame Stream is like seeing an elite special forces team like the Yeti Squad; not using a naval gun emplacement to bombard them is already quite restrained.

Remove the empty magazine and insert a new one; this improved Snow Rabbit V sniper rifle can only hold five rounds.

However, it is more expensive, more accurate, and more powerful, and can even be used against light armor. The problem is that the dragon fire jet is also more obvious, to the point that firing it is almost equivalent to being exposed.

"Our own original ammunition is still the best..." The Sarkaz sniper sighed; those cheap tower heat pipes were indeed no good.

Although others find it difficult to understand the principles behind the liquid with Originium Arts effects.

However, they still know how to copy others' homework. Now, inferior ammunition is appearing on the market, which is made by taking heat pipes from fuel pipes and generators sold by Kazdel and then repackaging them.

Because the two types of thermal effects are completely different, much like the fuel in a nuclear reactor and the nuclear fuel in a nuclear bomb are completely different in purity and reaction rate, this inferior munition has very poor penetration and range, yet it is sold at the price of the genuine product.

If I didn't have a few friends in Kazdel who could help me buy genuine ammunition, I wouldn't have been able to take down a Hummingbird with a single shot.

However… after weighing the mercenary pay offered by the Qazimir government forces against the price of genuine ammunition, the Sarkaz gritted his teeth in distress.

It is customary for mercenaries that their employers do not provide equipment; they are responsible for all equipment and ammunition themselves.

Of course, if the ammunition is interchangeable, you can use the employer's ammunition or equipment. However, if you really want to acquire some technical equipment, you'll have to pay for it yourself.

Therefore, every mercenary is rather stingy when it comes to using these items. They can't help it; they fight for money, and they can't possibly fight a battle without earning a single penny and even losing money, can they?

The sound of jetpacks filled the sky as Ursus assault soldiers continued to descend from above. "Damn!"

The sniper dodged a scimitar that fell from the sky, threw aside his rifle, reached into his holster, quickly pulled out a Tiger Bee pistol, and fired three consecutive shots, leaving three straight holes in the Ursus assault soldier.

"Phew! It almost got sent!" After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the rifle and checked it. This was his livelihood, he couldn't afford to break it.

"Over there, Sarkaz mercenaries, block him!"

"Damn it!" The Sarkaz mercenaries are a treasure trove in the eyes of the Ursus people. In order to save their lives, they have purchased a lot of equipment back home when they go abroad to fight. They are all good stuff.

Even the military-grade chocolates in his pocket were high-quality stuff. In a time when all countries were running out of ammunition and food, only these Sarkaz mercenaries could still pull out candy from their pockets.

A volley of crossbow bolts nearly grazed his face and embedded themselves in the wall. Before he could utter the second "Damn it!", the Sarkaz sniper attempted a forward roll to get into a steel-framed factory building. Then, an etching bullet exploded right behind his heel, the shockwave throwing him into the building.

"Who goes there!?"

"We're on the same side! Ursus assault troops are behind us!" A Kazimierz infantry squad was stationed inside the factory, led by a Kazimierz knight carrying an anti-tank rifle.

After carefully identifying the markings on the man as belonging to their mercenaries, two squires, resembling knights, grabbed him by the shoulders and dragged him behind cover, while the others quickly took up advantageous positions.

"What's going on? Weren't you guys in front?"

"We can't hold on," the sniper said. "A bunch of rookies, we can't hold on!" That's the truth. Do you think you're still the straightforward guys fighting against Letania?

Even the modern-day Leitanians aren't as straightforward anymore; if they encounter sniper tactics, they'll simply blow up the entire high ground.

Let alone Letania who fought Kazdel, those birdmen would prioritize bombing all high-threat targets on the field. If you can't take out the target within two or three shots and then run away as fast as you can, you'll definitely get blown up.

"Indeed," the knight said, having nothing more to say. "Sir, you are..."

“I used to spend some time in the arena, so just call me… Rust Knight.” The armor was covered in red, rust-like patches.

"This is a traditional lance from Kazimierz. Forgive my bluntness, but the Ursus of today don't fight in close combat anymore."

Although they were still equipped with scimitars, those were only emergency backup weapons, similar to pistols or bayonets. Now they were also very skilled with various rapid-fire crossbows and guns.

It must be said that the degraded etched bullets developed by Kazdel have indeed allowed Terra to gradually enter the era of full gun-based weaponry. As long as ammunition costs come down, the advantages of gun-based weapons will become apparent. Their rate of fire, power, and range are all much better than various crossbows.

"It's traditional but effective." The knight lowered his mask, and a huge shield blocked his front. Then he mounted his lance on the stand on the shield.

"Wait, who's on the other side...?"

"Bang!" The gun barrel flew out, leaving a long trail of flame, and blasted the small group of Ursus assault soldiers who were hiding around the corner assembling assault mortars away.

What did you just say?

"It's nothing, please go ahead." The Sarkaz sniper never expected that Kazimierz's lance was used like this. No wonder he could go toe-to-toe with the Ursus army back then. He stared in disbelief as this "traditional lance" produced the effect of his own rocket.

“Cannon lance, a traditional weapon of Kazimierz…” After saying that, the Rust Knight picked up a new “lance” and aimed it at the outside of the factory. A light armored vehicle from Ursus was peeking out, and with another bang, the vehicle broke down.

"Wait, we have to get out of here!"

"Huh? Why?" The knight looked confused. Why retreat? Wasn't this a perfect blocking position?

"because……"

"Fire! Take cover!" The sniper's words were drowned out by the dense explosions of the ship's guns—

Dude, it's great that you're using an RPG to ambush people here, but the other side isn't stupid! With close-range naval gun support, who the hell is going to snipe you?!

[PS]

Please refer to the anti-chariot lance in Valkyria Chronicles for this type of lance.

Chapter 85 Gobi-Ukraine Negotiations

Chapter 85

From the air, the Ursus people looked like a clump of dark gray mold slowly infiltrating the city. The resistance of the Qazimirs was much lower than Ursus had anticipated. To be more precise, the Qazimirs at every strategic point were putting up a fight, but there was almost no systematic command or coordination among them.

This gave Ursus the opportunity to defeat them one by one. After all, the elite knights of Kazimir, who were skilled in large-scale warfare, were still being besieged by Ursus' main force in a more distant location, while Kavaleriaki was a mixed legion composed of temporary troops and garrison troops. They didn't even have enough time to integrate, and Ursus was already right in front of them.

However, it must be said that the militia and these temporary forces were commendable in their fighting spirit in defending their homeland, at least greatly slowing down the Ursus's advance into Lublin.

Soon, the dark gray mold broke through the outer city's defenses and invaded the outer perimeter of the inner city. The Lublin garrison promptly disconnected the bridge connecting the city, and the artificial rift, more than 20 meters wide and resembling a precipice, blocked the Ursus attack.

This area was clearly far from the Ursus fleet's artillery support, and they had to rely on ground troops to break through this rift, which was a huge test for the Ursus people.

Smoke from burning carbon materials enveloped both sides of the rift valley. A destroyed light armored vehicle lay half-reclined amidst the rubble. This was a rail transport bridge that could not be disconnected by normal means, nor could it be traversed by normal methods.

The design is somewhat similar to a cable car. Numerous cranes can transport large components from factories in the inner city to the docks and shipyards. Disconnecting this rail bridge would require overly complicated operations and could not be done in a short time.

Moreover, the defending forces also needed to maintain this passage to send reinforcements and supplies to the troops still resisting at the dock.

Who are the people stationed here?

"I don't know, they seem to be a garrison spontaneously organized by nobles..." The adjutant looked around and saw that the other side was not raising any flags, making it difficult for him to determine which unit was guarding the area. Uniforms and equipment alone were not enough to tell the difference.

Since a large number of gladiators joined the battlefield, the Ursus scouts were dazzled by the variety of symbols and equipment they had acquired.

"Never mind, we have to take down this bridge before sunset!"

"This will result in massive casualties!"

"I don't want to hear about casualties, I only want the core city!" If the core city cannot be captured, and the flank attacks fail, those exposed in the open areas of the port will soon be attacked by the Kazimierz armored train, and the casualties will only be more severe.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bridge, with a hiss, cooling steam spewed out from the gun. Nearl picked up the long gun, which had just finished cooling maintenance. Beside her was Maria, who had already changed into armor and weapons. "When are the Ursus people going to launch a large-scale attack?"

“It’s almost over. Their plan to attack the train station has failed, and more armored trains are now heading towards the outskirts of Lublin,” Maria said, glancing at the intelligence report. “However, I don’t have high hopes for the quality of the garrisons at the other outposts.”

"How much better off can we be?" Nearl sighed. She had heard that Ursus was preparing to make peace with the Columbians on the western front.

Although Colombia also suffered heavy losses, Ursus's war reserves have been almost depleted. Once they make peace, Ursus can concentrate all its forces to deal with Kazimir.

Therefore, such siege battles may occur several more times in the future, until one side is completely defeated.

"Will Colombia make peace with Ursus?" "Yes." Although Colombia can still mobilize, and they even have enough mobilization resources.

However, even if Colombia still has the resources to mobilize for war, it might not necessarily fight to the death with Ursus after the conflict has reached this point. It still needs to be wary of Victoria and her group.

Victoria and the new Kazdel, and even the ancient Great Flame, are the real rivals in Colombia's eyes.

If they expend too much national strength on Ursus, it will hinder their chances of becoming the leader in the new order.

"When will there be peace?!" Maria no longer had any longing for the battlefield or glory. No matter how much her uncle said, it was not as effective as being thrown directly into the meat grinder of the battlefield to understand what kind of monster war really was.

"There is no peace, only a temporary ceasefire. But there is always a glimmer of hope."

Lin Guang sighed. At most, it would be a world war with multiple countries fighting each other, but it would turn into a world war with multiple alliances formed by two or three camps.

Lin Guang was unaware that there was another form of warfare in the world: the Cold War.

“The Ursus are coming.” Nearl shook her head, putting aside her worries about future politics and the international situation. If she couldn’t deal with the Ursus in front of her, she wouldn’t have to worry about the future, or perhaps there would be no Kazimierz in the future.

"Grab your weapons! Prepare for battle!" the veteran soldiers of Tianma shouted at the top of their lungs, and the knights and infantrymen who had already accumulated some experience on the battlefield took their positions.

"They are gathering, a small team, preparing for a counter-offensive, and I'm leading the charge."

"You? You're the commander, you should..."

"We are small and have no rear command post." The team has less than 350 people in total, and the number of combat personnel who can use weapons is no more than 120. In such a team, there is naturally no such thing as a front line or a rear, and it is not safe to be anywhere.

“I have relics, weapons, and equipment, so don’t worry!” Nearl activated his light gun’s booster, the dazzling plasma cutting blade spewing flames. “I must disrupt their rhythm when they gather.”

"Watch out for mortars! Take cover!" The Ursus soldiers knew they would be met with a counterattack when they assembled their attack force, so they simultaneously launched an artillery barrage against the enemy.

"One squad!" A small squad consisting of elite veterans and a few Pegasus horses automatically followed behind Lin Guang. The pony jumped onto the steel frame at the top of the track bridge and began to charge.

"A cavalry charge, that's rare indeed! Artillery team, take her out!" What ended the cavalry charge? Tanks! What ended the infantry charge? Machine guns.

Ursus not only had machine guns but also mortars. Under normal circumstances, the only outcome for a foot soldier like Nearl would be to fall halfway there. But in reality...

"Fire all bullets!" The primal device built into the spear unfolded, and then more than a dozen primal devices flew out, adjusting their orientation backward.
