Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 106: Our home is behind us, we have no way to retreat!

The time goes back half an hour.

Arriving at the frontline, Alvin felt depressed when he looked at his 'comrades' who were all under the age of 20.

The fear of war filled those young faces. Even their hands holding the guns trembled uncontrollably at the rumbling sound of artillery fire.

This can't go on like this...

Looking at the low morale, Alvin knew very well that if the situation was not corrected in time, they would completely collapse without waiting for the cult to attack.

The supervisor sent by the Ministry of Justice is obviously not responsible for boosting morale. That is the job of the political commissar, not him.

He has only one duty.

That is, until all the people on the position are killed, no one is allowed to retreat even a single step.

The completely inactive supervisor made Alvin realize that he had to do this job himself, but the problem was... he didn't know how to boost morale at all!
Looking at the young boys who were shivering like quails with their heads huddled in the sound of gunfire and fighting, Alvin stood up and shouted with a heavier tone, "I know you are afraid of death, but it doesn't matter. I am also afraid of death, terrified of death... Will those damned heretics let us go?!"

They were a little dazed by the sudden shout.

But thanks to this voice, the trembling teenagers were finally no longer dazed, and they all looked up at Alvin.

People, that's it.

The more chaotic the situation is, as long as there is one person who can take the lead, the panicked crowd will quickly restore order. This is called... what psychological effect?

Alvin didn't care about that. Under the gaze of the young men, he said in a deep voice: "No, those damn heretics will never let us go. They will chop off our heads and pile them into a mountain!"

The teenagers were already a little scared, and the horrifying picture that had been painted in their minds seemed to intensify their fear.

But this is exactly what Alvin wanted.

When people are facing desperate situations, they must be given time to think and understand that there is no way out, so that they can muster the final courage!

This move... is called back-to-the-water formation!

Looking at the completely depressed morale, Alvin took a deep breath and roared, "Cowards, raise your heads and see what's behind you."

"It's... it's the Hive..."

"No, it's... an officer!"

"Wuwuwu... I'm dead, I'm dead, Dad, Mom... I miss you!"

At that moment, the young men who looked back at the Hive City and the Defense Forces' front line thought of different outcomes, and were overwhelmed with grief, crying one after another.

"No! That's our family!"

Alvin shouted loudly, like thunder: "Open your eyes and look, that's our home! It's our nest! Our loved ones are there!"

It turned out that although the defense forces recruited a large number of civilians, they still arranged some elderly people, women and children on the rear line of defense.

The reason for doing this is not out of any "humanitarianism", but simply because... they are not as good as young and middle-aged people, so they can improve their combat effectiveness!

"Do you want to watch helplessly as the damned heretics slaughter our loved ones?!"

Looking at the stunned teenagers, veins popped out on Alvin's forehead, and he yelled at the top of his voice, "Answer me, do you want to see your loved ones' heads cut off by heretics and piled up like garbage?!"

“No…I don’t want to…” “The voice is too quiet, I can’t hear it!”

"In no mood!!!"

The roar was as deafening as thunder, and there was no longer any fear on anyone's face. Instead, there was...anger!
"Then for the Emperor, for my family, for us... the hive behind us, let's kill those heretics!"

Alvin pulled out his gun, his momentum like a mountain, surging in an eruption, and he shouted passionately: "Our home is behind us, we have no way to retreat, since we are all going to die, why not fight with all our might?!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"For the God-Emperor! For our homeland!"

At this moment, the hymn of courage unique to mankind that had been pent up deep in their hearts... was sung!
The supervising officer in the rear immediately looked at him in surprise.

After seeing the low morale of these people, he was ready to shoot a few of them at any time, but he didn't expect that this man could boost their morale with just a few words!

"Very good! Very energetic!"

Looking at the morale that was finally boosted, Alvin breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, with the low morale, the cult lunatics would be able to defeat them directly with just one charge!
"But courage alone is not enough, this is war!"

Alvin's stern eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and he said in a low voice: "You need to follow my instructions and obey my orders!"

Young people are always brave.

After being inspired, they all looked at the backbone of the team: "We are willing to follow your command!"

Apparently, Alvin's words planted a seed in the hearts of the young people!
"I can't guarantee... that you can survive."

Alvin, who was trusted, seemed to have a ripple in his heart. He gritted his teeth and looked at those young men who cast eager and hopeful eyes, and said in a deep voice: "But I can assure you... everything we do today is valuable, and everyone's sacrifice will not be in vain. We will drive out the heretics for the sake of the Emperor, for our homeland, and for our loved ones. The final victory... will definitely belong to us!"

Soon, under Alvin's command.

The team of ten people was divided into three groups, each with about three people. They hid in the ruins of the houses on both sides, forming cross-fire cover.

The third group serves as the reserve team, and will immediately provide support if they find that something is wrong in any position.

"I hope it works..."

Alvin rubbed his swollen brows and looked ahead worriedly. As more and more heretic lunatics rushed over, he gritted his teeth and said, "In my previous life, I played strategy games a few times at most, but actual combat... this is my first time!"

The only thing to be thankful for.

The lunatics in the cult don't have any heavy weapons. Most of them have a worn-out logging gun or a laser gun with the rifling almost worn out.

But more crazy people use weapons like axes.

At least, from this point of view, they have the advantage in firepower and have every hope of suppressing the cult.

Of course, the premise of all this is.

The cult is not planning anything, a bigger conspiracy!
Alvin always felt a little uneasy. Others might not know it, but he knew it very well!
The cult has a demon engine, the Hell Dragon!

If the Hell Dragon was pulled out, it would be easy to break through the defenses of the hive city. There would be no need to drag it out until now, not to mention the huge loss of manpower.

It can't be... that he wants to summon the 'Khorne Demon Army', right?
