For these individuals, Feng Yi decided to impart them with a formidable attack skill, the Augustins' Army Breaking Kill.

The origins of Augustins' Army Breaking Kill can be traced back several hundred years. It was not the move of the current General Augustins, but rather a lifetime masterpiece discovered by the renowned general from Hell's Gate, Augustins, during battle. This Army Breaking Slash is a simplified version of Augustins' Army Breaking Kill. The whole process involves constant damage output. The defining characteristic of this technique is offense without defense, and advance without retreat.

When Feng Yi surreptitiously gave the three of them this news, they were instantly astounded. Hell, really? Augustins' Army Breaking Kill is a skill rumored to be learned by only a few among the Red Cloaks' elite. Upon hearing this, Instructor Liu decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Feng Yi that night.

The day's training reaped substantial rewards for everyone. The majority, except for some laggards, had improved tremendously, as this initial phase of mecha training is when progress is fastest. The results were easily discernible.

Even the laggers showed significant progress. Formerly they were merely human-shaped targets that knew how to move and shoot—now, they had become intelligent human-shaped targets that knew how to avoid fire and occasionally strike back.

After a hectic day of training, as the sun set, the soldiers collectively began singing their return from target practice. The other units watched with complex emotions… News of the Field Army changing their training plans was not surprising, as who would focus on training during times of war? Their odd behavior immediately attracted the attention of many units.

The next day, not only did Special Forces soldiers swagger into the field camp, but soldiers from other units also gathered in the wilderness, adopting an attitude of idle curiosity to observe from afar. Some were thoughtful, some were chattering with laughter, and some were even drinking from bottles, presumably filled with stolen food from the mess hall.

But undoubtedly, the peculiar behavior of the Field Army had attracted the high regard of the surrounding units. You could say their actions were inexplicable, or that their heads were filled with water, choosing to train in mecha in this desolate place instead of using the training ground. However, their extraordinary rate of improvement had been noticed, and something seemed unusual.

The Field Army's Colonel wasn't bothered when he learned of this. Thanks to Huang Zhennan bringing it to his attention, Jia Erjia could explain the situation. Probably soon, these guys would be promoted from ordinary field soldiers to elite mecha soldiers. Initially, Huang Zhennan didn't think much of it. After all, Roland Planet was the battleground where the first shot of the war was fired, and unusual activities from any unit would be considered reasonable.

Having been a soldier for many years, most of which lacked periods of fighting, the command he gave to his subordinates was to keep their spirits up. As the saying goes, "a soldier is like a fire: quick to ignite but also quick to extinguish". Training during peace is a preparation for war. During wartime, high-intensity training is counterproductive. But there are always exceptions, and it isn't clear if the field unit has some nerves, as the war had just begun a few days ago.

What was odd was that after days of training, the enthusiasm of the field unit did not wane. Instead, it increased day by day, as if they were on drugs. This made Huang Zhennan a bit uneasy and compelled him to ask the Field Army's Colonel about information regarding Jia Erjia.

While he had intended to hide this information for a few more days, when probed by his superiors, Jia Erjia had no choice but to report the facts.

The Colonel shook his head upon hearing this. Nonsense, complete nonsense! But since they seemed to enjoy the madness, he let them be, thinking it would probably dissipate in a couple of days. Interstellar conflict won't evolve into ground battles in such a short time.

However, Huang Zhennan saw something else. Looking at the night sky, the brilliant sparks flickering were hard to discern. Even with a high-luminosity telescope, they were just barely visible.

These were the remnants of a space fleet's battle, both from enemy and our forces. Each spark represented the snuffing out of a life or the sacrifice of several hundred soldiers. But that was all right, for in war, people often adopt an indifferent attitude. Soldiers, as valiant as they seem, are no different from ordinary civilians. The only difference is the level of personal accountability. Soldiers regard orders as their duty.

And when you step onto the battlefield, your legs will tremble. At the moment when the charge is sounded, only an inner spirit telling you to push forward can force you to charge. Whether you charge forward or retreat, both actions are "the firing of a shot".

Of course, your comrades won't shoot at you. The one who will shoot at you is always the commander. Many commanders perceive lives as meaningless numbers: it doesn't matter if there's one more or one less. Everyone must bear the responsibilities of their position. However, Huang Zhennan was different. Whenever he thought about this ironic issue, he would instinctively divert his attention. Perhaps he is a formidable soldier, but he could not be considered a qualified commander.

Shaking his head… The ground fight shouldn't ignite in the short term. The few who slipped through would surely try to land on Roland Planet, with the main aim of disrupting the satellite system in the star domain.

On the battlefield of the Roland star domain, the deep space of the universe was continually lit up with blinding flashes. General Sheridan's A-level fleet had been engaging with the Pross Empire fleet for a week of probing battles. There was already a significant gap between the two in terms of troop deployment and battle progress estimation. In repression tactics, Pross was no match for Sheridan. However, when comparing casualty results, both were evenly matched. This was the result after Hell's Gate provided support with two fleets.

In other words, a 1:1 casualty ratio was achieved under the condition of our army having a higher troop count. Our strategy completely limited our enemy, a possibility that was virtually non-existent.

Meanwhile, Colonel Raphael from Hell's Gate sent a communication link, with a subsequent tactical recommendation.

When Sheridan received the simulation tactic, he had no objections or reasons to refute because this was also his desired offensive strategy. It is common knowledge that the casualty ratio of the offensive party is much lower than that of the defensive one. Simultaneously avoiding direct impact and encircling the opponent easily breaks the enemy's defense. The birdcage tactic, gradually encircling and defeating the enemy, is just a matter of time and can't be rushed.

However, as time wore on, Sheridan realized this was not good. At least when he and the Colonel named Raphael from Hell's Gate came to a mutual agreement on what they believed was a perfect plan, the outcome would usually develop unpredictably.

In the first battle, the enemy might send a famous general to confront them. But from recent observations, the tactical level of the enemy's commander was not intimidating. However, for some unknown reason, every time victory favored our forces, our large advantage would instantly vanish. At crucial times, the most critical weapon handlers would often be the first targets of enemy attacks.

This did not make sense, and it did not fit logic. Many times, Sheridan would use a seemingly insignificant battalion for breakthroughs. But when he did so, not only would his expected results not be achieved, but the entire battalion would also lose communication.

Sheridan suddenly became aware of a significant crisis – the enemy might have some measures that our army could not yet grasp. When he realized this potential problem and decided to mention it to Hell's Gate, an unexpected incident occurred. Sheridan only heard a threatening roar in his ear and then lost contact with the fleet entirely. Suddenly, everything before him went dark.
