One of the conventions of the Radiant World Army is that the higher-ranked combat teams are generally stronger. Of course, it can also be said that strong teams tend to rank higher. This situation has been slowly changing since Mu Hanyi ascended to the heavens.
Although the First Army and Second Army still exist and have been rebuilt and strengthened, the strongest faction in the Radiant World Army is now the Third Army. They are currently at the forefront.
Compared to Cloud Summit’s comprehensive capabilities and emphasis on warfare machinery in the resistance zone, the Radiant World Army focuses more on close combat. They have evolved from a dual combat mode of both long-range and close combat at the beginning of the apocalypse to an emphasis on melee with ranged support.
They have formed what they call heavy infantry based on their thick armor and heavy weapons. These soldiers march slowly, not suited for chasing or rapid maneuvers, but they thoroughly enjoy face-to-face combat. From the very beginning, they donned heavy armor as they entered the battlefield, making the sea beasts before them seem as fragile as paper.
The mightiest Third Army of the Radiant World has embarked on a radical path. Their evolver levels are high, with most at the seven-star level; the captains are at the eight-star level, and the army commander is at the ninth level. Each of them is clad in heavy armor, with at least green-grade equipment, over thirty percent in full blue gear, and even a small number in full gold gear.
Their movements are orderly and unified, resembling the peak combat style of the cold weapon era. Shield up, draw sword, shield up, draw sword… this is their fighting style, and most of their skills also support this combat approach.
They may have various shortcomings, but as long as they are on a battlefield suitable for them, they can unleash incredible power. Some skills or attacks, even if they are not blocked by their shields, result in excellent defense from their heavy armor. After all, this battle armor doesn’t require a myriad of abilities; it just needs to be sturdy enough. If it can enhance strength or agility a bit, that’s even better.
As the strongest team in the Radiant World Army, the Third Army acts like an arrow, continuously charging toward the depths of the sea beast camp.
In contrast to before, the combat style on the resistance zone side has a more peacetime flavor. They are more willing to employ various tactics.
Combining long-range and close combat, skill attacks and physical strikes, relying on firepower points and elevated positions, supported by as many as ten war fortresses, they started their offensive with great success.
This advantageous position of superior long-range capabilities and dominance in close combat made the resistance zone soldiers feel smug. They continuously glanced toward the Cloud Summit camp, hoping to see the astonished expressions of their opponents.
Unfortunately, all they saw were the shadows of sea beasts.
In the first half hour of battle, both the Radiant World Army and the resistance zone faced some resistance, but overall, things went smoothly, boosting their confidence. However, this situation began to change after half an hour.
More sea beasts arrived on the battlefield, and the Cloud Summit camp’s robust defense prompted these later-arriving or previously stalled sea beasts to attempt breakthroughs from the flanks.
Don’t think these sea beasts lack organization; on the contrary, they may be slightly behind in command tactics. After all, the high-level beings among them possess some intelligence, but human command skills have long evolved into a form of art, which these mutated life forms cannot yet match.
Even so, they still understand how to leverage their numerical superiority and constantly seek breakthroughs. Those sea creatures capable of direct land combat and retaining their fighting strength on land placed their breakthrough efforts on the human frontlines’ flanks.
