Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the early spring of the 220th year of the Haiyuan calendar, and the world war has lasted for three full months.

The Silius army, which was fighting alone in the early days of the war, had no choice but to withdraw from the first line of defense, the Winterthur Mountains, under the sudden and crazy attack of the Sac Empire.

After reuniting with the Tulip support force that finally arrived, they re-established a second line of defense on the "Ourc River". Behind the line of defense was the plain area in the heart of the empire.

swish swish...

The precious rain during the farming season in previous years was only annoying now, quietly soaking through the clothes of the soldiers in the trenches, and taking away the little heat they had left.

Moreover, even though the temperature is still a bit cool under the drizzle, the air is still filled with the lingering... putrid smell of human remains.

And the slight sobs of some soldiers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The shells exploded one after another around the soldiers on both sides, leaving craters one after another big enough for people to lie inside.

"Charge! Seize the bridgehead!"

"Kill!"

On a front that stretches nearly 200 kilometers, the democratic coalition's first task is to seize the bridge.

Following the order from the frontline commander, countless soldiers on the east bank of the river jumped out of the trenches with rifles in hand and charged towards the bridgehead controlled by the Monarch Alliance.

In the hail of bullets, human life is like a piece of grass.

The 200-kilometer-long front is like a harvester, ruthlessly and efficiently harvesting the lives of soldiers on both sides every minute and every second.

Bang! Bang!...

"Lie down! Kill the fire points!"

"Watch out for snipers!"

The standard equipment of the Democratic Alliance Army is a sophisticated rifle designed and completed in the year 218 of the Haiyuan calendar and named G18 (18-year-old infantry weapon).

Weight: 3.9kg, length: 110cm, operation method: rotating and pulling gun type; ammunition supply method: 5 rounds built-in magazine; ammunition: 7.92mm; muzzle velocity: 755m/s; effective range: 1000m.

In battles approaching within 1,000 meters, although the rate of fire is much inferior to that of the Type 77, its accuracy and stability are excellent. There is no indelible generational difference between the Type 77 and the Type 77. The biggest difference is only in ammunition capacity.

However, with the reinforcements of a large number of "Gunmen" from the "Monarch's Shield" side, in the basic group charge and sniper battle, the Sark and Lowland coalition forces were still inevitably at a disadvantage.

This is the same even if there is also a madly roaring [Giant Soldier: Furnace III] charging at the same time.

"Now that we have reached the plains, bring up our M217 rapid-fire cannon!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

The Sark Empire barely suffered any losses in the "War of Overlords" thirty years ago and swallowed up the colonies of Cyrus in the Southern Continent.

Coupled with the original industrial base, after decades of hard work, the national strength and competitiveness in all aspects have indeed surpassed Silius, and the military industry has its own uniqueness.

The person who issued the order for artillery support was the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, General Andre of the Sac Empire. He was also a third-level knight under the age of fifty, and the most outstanding member of the royal family.

At this moment, a pair of gray eyes as sharp as an eagle stared at the tragic front line, full of coldness and ruthlessness!

Since the royal branch does not have the right to inherit, there is no way to say who will be ranked first, but this general is undoubtedly one of the popular candidates to succeed the emperor.

In fact, after doing that, his voice became louder and louder under the propaganda offensive from his "allies".

The big capitalists promised that after the victory of the war, a "constitutional monarchy" could be implemented in the Sac Empire. In other words, Andrei and the capitalists would divide the imperial power together.

In fact, the "royal reform plan" proposed by Ivan and Levina is to transition the complete feudal monarchy to a "dual constitutional monarchy".

The hereditary monarch is the head of state and has real power. The monarch appoints cabinet members. The government is completely responsible to the monarch. Although the parliament can exercise legislative power, the monarch has a veto power.

In this form of government, the country has also formulated a constitution and established a parliament.

However, the monarch still maintains the authority of the feudal autocratic era and holds national power alone. He is the center of power and the highest actual ruler, as well as the country's military commander.

Now, the capitalists' promise to Andre is a "parliamentary constitutional monarchy."

The monarch is also retained to establish a parliament, but the parliament is not only the highest legislative body of the country, but also the highest organ of state power.

The head of government elected by the parliament organizes the government and is the real center of national power, while the monarch is only a symbolic head of state.

How much power he can have depends entirely on the power he has after the war.

But even the symbolic position of emperor is much better than it is now.

Moreover, although this army general is greedy, he is not stupid. He is not the only one in the royal family without the right to inherit. Even if he does not agree, others will.

As for the war in front of us, which is not because of "revenge" but because of "self-interest"? Oh, every crown of the superior is forged with the blood of tens of millions of people.

They...should feel honored!

Woo——!

As the M217 field artillery began to exert its power, the fired shells carried a continuous scream and fell into the position of the Monarch Alliance, blooming into flames of death.

The artillery fire was so dense that it was like a downpour.

The recoil force when a normal gun is fired will push the gun body backward away from the gun position.

Not only does it require artillery to push it back to its original position, it limits the locations that can be chosen when the artillery is arrayed. At the same time, the previous aiming is lost, and the ballistic elements must be recalculated, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

The Sack Empire made improvements on this basis. They creatively added a hydraulic retreat and retraction mechanism to the artillery.

In this way, the recoil force of the artillery is absorbed by the retracting machine, which greatly reduces the force transmitted to the gun mount and prevents the gun body from deviating from the gun position.

The average rate of fire of the Armstrong breech-loading gun, the most commonly equipped standard artillery piece in all countries, is two rounds per minute.

However, the M217 rapid-fire gun equipped with a retreat machine can eject fifteen rounds of shells per minute because it does not need to be pushed back to the gun position. In the most ideal extreme state, it can even reach an astonishing firepower of thirty rounds.

"Order, let our artillery rifles go up!"

While the Monarch Alliance launched an artillery counterattack, a group of [Monster Scholars] from the Principality stepped onto the battlefield.

Although it is unknown how many "elemental turbulence bombs" have been detonated on the battlefield, blocking the unparalleled mowing of the legal system and the secret infiltration of the assassin profession.
