Terra Martial God and Merit System

"Luo Chen, you have to promise me one thing." Tallulah took a deep breath, "I've been thinking about this for a while. Although I'm a little embarrassed..."

"what?"

"You're not going to suddenly abandon us and leave, are you?"

"Of course not." Luo Chen understood, and knew what Tallulah was thinking.

He smiled slightly, and knew clearly in his mind what he should do.

"I'll swear on it."

Luo Chen said, "If I die one day, I will die in front of you. Is that okay?"

"How unlucky." Tallulah frowned.

"This kind of oath has weight, don't you feel it?" Luo Chen asked.

"...Forget it." Tallulah looked out the window. She seemed to relax a lot. "Do you mean what you said?"

"I always value promises." Luo Chen replied. "Come to think of it, you came to me for this?"

"Hmm. Isn't that a bit selfish?"

"I thought it was something else..." Luo Chen shook his head, "But if it can make you feel better, I'm still happy to do it."

"Relax, Tallulah."

"Just remember - I'm always here."

Chapter 265 The Curtain of the Battlefield

The plan went ahead and Kosice arrived at the designated location ten days later.

The lieutenants asked Kosice not to get too excited, but Kosice could no longer hide his emotions.

This war has dragged on too long...it is completely different from what he expected.

Fortunately, although the rhythm is up and down, the plot finally returns to the main line.

The main force of the Terran Union was right before their eyes, guarding the plains leading to Kamsk.

Beat them and Kosice wins.

They defeated her, and Tallulah won.

What a simple result.

Not only Kosice breathed a sigh of relief, but countless soldiers who followed him also breathed a sigh of relief.

They had to eat poorly and sleep poorly every day, and they had to worry about whether they would be shot. They had long since found this kind of life unbearable.

Now that everything has finally been put to an end, many people shed tears of excitement.

They set up camp outside the Terra Union's defense line and quickly settled down. Now they just had to wait for the order to attack.

In the center of the camp, Kosice looked at the map in front of him with a serious expression.

For him, this is an epic happening.

A hero has to prove her strength to the world, and her awakening means the rise of Ursus.

As all legends say, a hero always needs a powerful enemy as a stepping stone.

The stronger the enemy, the stronger the hero.

Now, Kosice is going to use all his skills to test his "successor" to see what Tallulah is capable of and whether she can live up to his expectations.

He knew very well that the better he fought, the stronger Tallulah's reputation would be.

It is an unchangeable truth that a person's reputation will only grow after being washed by the blood of a stronger person. Just like in the Victorian relief, the one who can subdue a lion with his bare hands can become a true king.

Kosice doesn't mind being the lion killed by the king, but that doesn't mean he will let it go.

On the contrary, he wants to give it his all.

Let's see where Tallulah's limit is...

"Move this squad's firepower point five meters to the right." Kosice gave the order while observing the tactical map.

He was in a state of high tension; he had waited too long for this great battle.

If you are going to do it, you must do it well.

No detail can be overlooked!

Of course, Kosice's seriousness and respect are completely unnecessary in the eyes of some people.

.............

"Kosche is too timid in fighting! If it were me, I would launch an attack now and we could eat hot pot in Kamsk tomorrow!" Members of the military investigation team followed Kosche's troops to the front line.

These 'experts' were very confused about Kosice's formation.

In their view, the Terra Union spent so much effort, but it only delayed the speed of the attack and did not cause any substantial losses.

What does this mean? It means they are at the end of their rope!

In that case, why don’t you quickly defeat the opponent?

"I think there's nothing wrong with being cautious."

“But being overly cautious is a problem.”

"Everyone, please look——"

The experts pulled out a table and deduced - "The Kosice Army has 200,000 men, nine warships, and a complete artillery unit. They are all elite."

"The enemy's military strength may be less than 100,000. Although they have the advantage of terrain, they still have a certain degree of defensive advantage. But..."

"The gap is there. It exists objectively."

"If I were Kosice, I would attack from the flank, using a pincer attack tactic..."

Spit flew everywhere, pointing fingers at the mountains and rivers. In the meantime, a sentence suddenly popped up -

"Speaking of which, would you guys like to have a go?"

"A what?"

"How long will it take for Kosice to enter the city?"

"I'll bet for three days."

"Five days!"

"Tomorrow will do!"

These experts who like to give advice will not give up this opportunity. They all put their money on it.

"Otto, aren't you coming?" Several officers participating in the handicap asked an expert sitting in a wheelchair at the back.

"I don't want to play." Otto shook his head. His legs were broken by the bombardment of the Terra Union and now he can only sit in a wheelchair.

Maybe it's because his injury is neither going up nor down.

It's not to the point of death, but it's not so relaxing that I can still be stubborn.

So Otto, the Londinium officer, had more time to think and review.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation on the other side might not be as simple as they imagined.

Will Kosice really win so easily? Or is the result not what they thought?

Seeing that Otto didn't say anything, his colleagues ignored him and continued to argue about how many days the Terra Union had left to survive.

"Heh..." Otto pushed his wheelchair to the side, "A bunch of idiots..."

He always felt that he had seen the truth, so he was extremely disdainful of these colleagues who knew nothing.

But Otto also knew that if he spoke out his thoughts, he would inevitably be ridiculed, so he simply kept silent and wrote down all his conjectures in a notebook.

"The quality of the Terra Union's military is extremely high. It can be seen from the recent deployment that any of their teams of ten or so people can carry out excellent tactical planning, which is hard to see in most countries..."

"Some officers are so content with enjoying themselves that they don't care about the situation of the soldiers at the bottom. They just think that the soldiers will mechanically complete their orders. In fact, soldiers are not machines. They will not do things completely according to other people's thinking..."

"My personal guess is that this war is likely to end in a draw..."

"No! The more likely outcome is that the Terran Union will win a tragic victory..."

Otto wrote down his 'prophecy'.

He's not going to show it now.

If Kosice really wins, he'll hide this thing.

If Kosice loses... then this thing can be brought out and discussed.

Otto finally wrote down the date on his notebook to prove that it was his diary, and then closed it with satisfaction.

No serious person would write a diary. If they do write, it's for a purpose.

..........

"The arrangements are complete." Hellagur inspected the frontline position for the last time.

He has done his best according to his plan so far, and there are no omissions no matter how he checks.

All soldiers are on full alert and the artillery is ready.

Just waiting for Kosice's attack tomorrow.

"Inform Chairman Tallulah that everything is going well with our department."

.........

"They said everything is going well for them." On the wall of Kamsco, Luo Chen and Talullah stood side by side, looking at the plain in the distance.

"As long as everything goes well." Luo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "I will be here to watch the battle."

"If I think the situation is critical, I will take the initiative. Other than that, I will not interfere with his arrangements."

"Tell Hellagur to let him take command."

"Kosice... I wonder what it feels like when you kill." Luo Chen muttered to himself.

Chapter 266 Shooting

An attack cannot be launched simply by sending soldiers forward.

This is common sense that even military cadets know.

Kosice did not send warships or troops to approach the enemy's position immediately.

He started with a barrage of artillery fire.

That's right.

Kosice now has the most elite artillery of Ursus. Although they are not as powerful as the former Gallic artillery, they can also be ranked among the best in this land.

As soon as this artillery team opened fire, everyone felt that they were going to win.

Because the Terra Union's position was silent, as if it was dead. Facing the continuous bombing, there was no reaction at all.

Many people thought they were scared out of their wits, but unexpectedly, the counterattack came so soon.

The Terran Union's counterattack did not use warships or infantry.

They also used cannons.

Their artillery fire flew out from the rear of the position, passed through the sky, and hit the front of Kosice's army.

Artillery fired at each other.

This is a very rare war scene.

Although there are constant minor frictions among the countries on Terra, large-scale wars have not broken out for some time.

And a precious branch of the military, such as artillery, will naturally not be wasted in minor frictions.

The last time this large-scale artillery battle took place was probably when the various countries destroyed Gaul.

All the experts of the military investigation team ran into the air-raid shelters they had dug.
