The two-hour-long artillery barrage had not yet ended, and the rocket artillery's coverage followed closely behind.
The Eleventh Army Group of Prosen had just received a large number of new recruits, and this sudden, fierce firepower stunned half of them. Some outright collapsed, clutching their heads and screaming, until they were silenced by a slap from an experienced non-com from their squad.
As for the other half of the recruits, they were already dead in the barrage.
Under such intense fire, many veterans had perished, let alone the new recruits.
By the time the shelling finally ceased, the non-coms began to drag up the huddled recruits one by one, "Get into position, you pigs! Remember your training! The Anteans are coming!"
No sooner had the recruits been cajoled and threatened into their positions than the Anteans arrived.
