Chapter 719: Morale(1/2)
"Pay attention to the morale of the army! Pay attention to the morale!!!"
Everyone is not a fool. From his words, we immediately understood the purpose of the foreign coalition forces at this time.
What Chelsea and Manchester are using at this time is a typical "morale flow" style of play.
Morale is very important to an army, and its most intuitive impact is the combat effectiveness of the army.
The higher the morale value, the stronger the bonus to the army's combat effectiveness. Under normal circumstances, an army with "a rainbow of momentum" already has the combat effectiveness to defeat more enemies with fewer enemies.
On the contrary, once morale drops below the 60-point qualifying line, it will enter a negative state, and combat effectiveness will begin to decline. The more it drops, the greater the reduction in combat effectiveness.
When it falls to the end, the entire army will lose their fighting spirit and start fleeing in all directions.
This shows how important morale is.
But it is such an important thing, but it is also very easily affected.
Among the many means of affecting morale, if the enemy's morale is too high, it will also cause a blow to one's own morale.
On both sides of the battle, seeing how aggressive the opponent is, if the morale on your side is unstable, it will be easily affected, and you will be weakened by three points before the fight begins.
Although there are some differences at this time, they are not much different.
The other side also knows that it is impossible to fight with force, so they start to reduce morale. No matter how many troops there are, once the morale is low, the soldiers will lose their will to fight and start to flee. No matter how many troops there are, it is useless!
This blow to the morale of Chelsea Manchester came very suddenly, causing the morale of the Europa Alliance Army to fall below the passing line several times. This affected the combat effectiveness of the Europa Alliance Army to a certain extent.
Fortunately, there is still a long way to go before being defeated.
Although it is a bit thrilling, at this time, several Europa commanders in the army are always able to bring the morale of the army back to above 60 points in time.
Their grasp of timing also shows their sophistication.
However, the coordination is a bit unsatisfactory.
But there is nothing that can be done about it, and we cannot always expect them to suddenly change their policy and conduct unified command in the middle of a battle.
Not to mention that the candidate for unified command has not yet been decided.
Fortunately, they were still supported by their superior strength, so they were not too passive.
A state of high morale cannot be maintained forever. As the war continued and the foreign coalition forces launched a round of strong attacks, their morale began to gradually decline.
Unlike the situation where morale drops off a cliff when morale is hit, this natural decline in morale is relatively gentle, so generally it will not have a significant impact on foreign soldiers.
At least for now, they still maintain relatively high morale and launch a powerful attack on the enemy.
However, as experienced veterans, the foreign commanders led by Chelsea Manchester were already keenly aware of the changes in the situation.
They tried to suppress the morale of the other side, but those Europa commanders were not a vegetarian, and they directly used their tactics to retreat in order to advance.
If their morale drops, they will just pull back. There is no need to rush to counterattack and stabilize the morale of the passing line. They are now waiting for the morale of the foreign coalition forces to drop.
Failure to attack for a long time will accumulate psychological pressure on the soldiers and even cause morale damage.
In this state, the decline in morale level will make the morale of the soldiers very fragile. If the enemy's morale is suddenly hit, it is likely to drop below 60 points in one fell swoop!
In other words, those Europa commanders are waiting for a perfect moment to counterattack!
"What should we do? If we continue like this, we won't be able to stop the next counterattack from the other side!"
Listening to the sound coming from the radio communication device, in the command car, Chelsea Manchester slowly spoke after being silent for a few seconds.
At this moment, his tone was extremely firm,
At the same time, it also carries a bit of determination!
"wait!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"When our army's morale drops and falls out of state, and the other side launches a counterattack, we will also forcefully counterattack and give it our all!"
Chelsea Manchester's arrangement immediately made several other foreign commanders change their expressions.
Because this is a very risky move.
At the moment when the enemy is boosting their morale and launching a counterattack, if they also boost their morale and launch a counterattack, once successful, they will be able to directly hit the enemy who counterattacks, which can double the enemy's morale. It is not impossible to even complete a comeback.
possible.
However, once they failed, they would completely collapse. The continuous blow to morale would be enough to completely collapse their foreign combined army!
Faced with such a proposal, the foreign commanders and some moderate generals actually had another idea flashing through their minds.
As a result, before they could think about it, Chelsea Manchester, who was in another command vehicle, had already spoken again.
"I know that in the current situation, if I choose to boost morale in advance to stabilize the state before the army falls out of state, it will be a safer way to deal with it."
"However, you should be aware that this will only turn the battle into a long war of attrition, and the opponent's forces are obviously greater than ours, so a war of attrition will be detrimental to us."
"Furthermore, the method of constantly boosting morale to maintain the state cannot be stabilized for long, because this method will make the rate of morale decline faster and faster!"
How could all the veterans present not understand what Chelsea Manchester said? In fact, this style of play has been tried before.
To put it simply, it is not to pursue too high morale value, but to stabilize the morale of the army at a certain state through multiple use of multiple morale skills, so that the soldiers can obtain a very good combat effectiveness bonus for a long time.
But in fact, this style of play was quickly eliminated because the price/performance ratio was too low, and the effect was not as good as expected.
Because of this tactic, the morale improvement and maintenance time will become smaller and smaller, while the morale loss will become larger and larger.
On the other hand, the guys in Europa maintain their morale at about 60 points. This is a normal state. There is basically no increase in combat power, and of course there are no negative effects.
They are deliberately avoiding their army to enter a "high morale" state at this stage, so that they can basically avoid the decline in morale level, because they have never upgraded it.
Therefore, the system will not judge them, and some side effects that will occur after losing morale level will naturally not affect them.
Chelsea Manchester's words clearly told them that if they choose to fight like this, they can survive, but it is almost a dream to have a chance of winning, and they will eventually be defeated by the Europa United Army and the Dark Elf Army.
Either fight for your life or wait to die, the current situation is that simple!
And of course they understand things like this.
After a short silence, the commanders spoke one after another.
"You are the commander-in-chief, I listen to you."
"Then fight, it's better than waiting to die."
The statements of various foreign commanders made Chelsea Manchester secretly relieved.
Being able to reach a consensus is naturally the best. Their military strength is already at a disadvantage, so if everyone works together, they can still try to gain a slim chance of winning.
But if we can't unite, then there will be no fight at all!
Now the sea area on the periphery of the continent has been surrounded by the navy of the Europa camp. Unless they win on land, they can still try to raise a land defense line and deal with Europa's army, but if they cannot win
If you win, there is only a dead end!
During the period when the foreign commanders were unifying their tactical arrangements, the foreign coalition armies that were fighting with the European Union Army and the Dark Elf Force completely collapsed due to the decline in morale.
Out of bonus state.
At this moment, the changes in the offensive strength were obvious to the veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Those Europa commanders who had been waiting for this moment for too long were suddenly refreshed.
"Do it!!!"
These two words were shouted from the mouths of Europa Commander and Chelsea Manchester almost at the same time.
The Europa United Army and the Dark Elf troops directly sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
On this side, the foreign coalition forces that had just ended a fierce attack faced Europa's counterattack and launched a counterattack!
Amidst the violent roar, the armies of both sides collided fiercely.
The bloody exchanges directly intensified the battle to the extreme.
"Kill!!!"
In this moment of life and death, even Chelsea Manchester, who had always been extremely calm, completely exploded.
Due to the continuous activation of skills, his face had turned pale, and his mental energy was almost exhausted. At this moment, he had a splitting headache and even his lips were trembling slightly.
However, he did not flinch. He held on to his head that seemed to be about to explode. He roared crazily and commanded several armored vehicles on escort missions to rush directly towards the enemy formation in the distance!
The same is true for other foreign commanders. It can be seen that they really put their lives on this battle!
Faced with such a scene, the Europa commander, who was originally quite confident, began to become nervous at this moment.
Some commanders even began to brush up their skills regardless of the mental burden.
However, the use of skills is not without cost, it requires mental energy.
Therefore, the strength of a person's "mental" attribute is often related to how many skills he can display.
But no matter how mentally strong a person is, performing multiple skills continuously in a short period of time will create a huge burden.
The mental state of the Europa commanders is definitely better than that of the foreign commanders who have experienced continuous fierce battles before, but after using several waves of skills in succession, their faces can't help but turn pale.

Vegeta, who quickly confirmed the situation of the battle, naturally had no intention of sitting idly by. His front row troops had already charged forward, while the dark elf crossbow troops and Hydra in the back row were intercepting the foreign ambush troops in the rear.
