Before tonight, the New Army had never used any barrel weapon with a caliber thicker than a thumb.
As an army of Paratu People, the artillery of the New Army was also not well-known.
So much so that the Southern Front had assumed the "Rebels" lacked the support of artillery.
However, starting tonight, the arrogant United Provincials will truly realize they are not facing a heterogeneous force, but another version of themselves.
Their enemy has received the same training, gone through the same education, and is familiar with their organization, thinking, and tactics, just as they are familiar with their enemy.
This is the true legacy of Ned Smith—the armies of Various Republics have long ceased to be the distinctly different "Various Countries' Armies" of the sovereign wars era. After absorbing each other's strengths, the difference between the armies of Various Republics is far smaller than they perceive it to be.
