Chapter 237 Covering the Tsar Cannon, Supporting Volkhov

"What? What did you say, Gustav?"

General Constantine, not quite hearing Andrei's mutterings at first, asked curiously:
"Could it be that Gustav Krupp of the Black Hawk Empire has come up with some new secret weapon?"

Hearing this, Andrei shook his head, sighed, and said:
"It's nothing, I just made it up on the spot. I once dreamed that the Black Hawk Empire had built a super cannon, and I never expected that we would see this super cannon here first!"

"I just can't help but complain, I feel like the weapons that the Tsar sent are no good!"

General Constantine scratched his head, and said somewhat uncertainly:

"Well, about this, I think it's not entirely accurate to say that!"

"If this giant cannon can be set up in a concealed place and ensured that it is not destroyed by enemy air force raids, then this thing is quite powerful, at least it will have a great deterrent effect on the enemy."

"Just think about it. If they were targeted by such a giant cannon, I believe that even if the soldiers of the Black Hawk Empire were the most fanatical, they would be unsettled during their charge, right?"

Andrei shrugged. He didn't know how to evaluate this thing. Anyway, historically, the Gustav Cannon was basically never used.

In his memory, the Gustav Cannon only truly played a role during the attack on the Sevastopol Fortress; otherwise, it was just a decoration.

That's why he felt the Tsar Cannon was just for show; if it had a fast enough reload speed and high accuracy, then it would be alright.

According to his estimation, this thing's loading speed might not even be as fast as Gustav's, and its accuracy would certainly not be much higher.

Just as his cheapskate father had said, this thing could be used to intimidate enemies, but he really couldn't think of any other use for it besides intimidation.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's stop talking for now. I'll try my best to protect this giant cannon and make good use of it before transporting it to Petrograd."

After saying this, Andrei hung up the phone.

According to his assessment, it was unrealistic to expect to hold off the enemy outside Peterdler, given the sheer number of Black Hawk Empire troops and the unreliability of the other Cambrian Empire armies.

With his own troops, he might be able to hold a key point or launch a strong counterattack against the enemy, but he didn't think he could stop the Black Hawk Empire's army.

There's no way I can be in two places at once!
Therefore, in his view, the best use of this giant cannon was to try to deliver it intact to Petrograd, and then use it to bombard the enemy's positions from a great distance when the enemy launched a siege.

Being hit by this thing would be devastating, no matter what kind of monster or demon it is. And since its range can't be too short, leaving it in the city would be enough to attack enemy positions.

If they could force the enemy to launch a strong attack on Petrograd city, and then engage in fierce street fighting, Andrei was fully confident that he could completely wear down the Black Hawk Empire!

If it were set up like the Battle of Stalingrad, with players constantly respawning at various respawn points, the Black Hawk Down army would truly be unable to withstand it.

Just look at the casualty rates of those players fighting to the most intense levels in Battlefield, and you'll know that if the fighting style continues like that, the Black Hawk Army in the city would probably have tens of thousands of players worn down by the players in a single day.

After regaining his senses, Andrei immediately gave the air force a mission: no matter what, they must protect this giant cannon!
At the same time, he immediately ordered the armored trains to patrol along the railway line, with one of his own armored trains providing cover.

In addition, Andrei glanced at the players' chat and learned that the second armored train had also been modified.

I wonder what modifications those players made to this armored train.
It seems that not only engineers were involved, but also some Cambrian Empire workers participated in the modification, making the project quite massive.

Of course, it would be good if they could make this armored train even stronger.

Armored trains are very rare, so in order to further enhance their combat capabilities, Andrei urgently needs to improve the individual combat effectiveness of armored trains.

At least in his view, among all the war behemoths in Battlefield 1, only the armored train and the dreadnought are relatively useful here.

The airship was no match for the enemy's airships equipped with Void Shields, and the Char 2C super-heavy tank was all show and no substance, with its frontal armor too thin to withstand a direct confrontation with the enemy's armored forces.

Therefore, Andrei really placed high hopes on the armored train, this war behemoth. Although its movement path was particularly narrow, it was still very useful in critical moments.

Andrei dispatched all of the squadron's fighters and bombers at once, first to patrol along the direction of the railway.

He didn't know exactly where the Tsar Cannon was now, but based on the player's air force's activity range, he estimated that as long as the player kept flying along the railway, they would eventually see the cannon.

This also means that the giant cannon is too easy for the enemy air force to detect, so he must have his air force complete the escort before the enemy air force can detect it.

Otherwise, if this thing is exposed to the enemy's air force, it will definitely be a sitting duck with no chance to fight back!
Just as Andrei was issuing the order, he suddenly saw a message in the player chat:
About 50 kilometers east of their own front line, an enemy composite force suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on the local train station!
"What the hell? What strange move is the Black Hawk Empire making now?"

Andrei was puzzled. Logically speaking, it made no sense for the Black Hawk Empire to attack the Volkhov railway station now!

This area is not under the control of the Black Hawk Empire, and they would not turn their main forces around to attack such a small city located east of Petrograd.

So theoretically speaking, even if they send a force to capture Volkhov, what then?

It won't be long before the surrounding Cambrian armies can retake this place, unless they decide to change their offensive direction and send more of their main forces here to fight.

But after Andrei drew a picture on the map and thought about recent events, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

He seemed to understand what the Black Hawk Empire was up to; they were planning to seize the area before him and then block the Tsar Cannon!

"No way, if they want to destroy this Tsar Cannon, they can just bomb it with air force. Do they actually want to steal it?"

Andrei estimated that if they wanted to seize the cannon, they definitely couldn't use the railroad. They would have to dismantle the cannon and then find a way to transport it by road.

So... do they have such strong transportation capabilities?
Wait, you know what!
Andrei frowned, suddenly realizing something. He suspected that the Black Hawk Empire might actually have such transportation capabilities!
In the previous battle, during the conflict in Coldwater Town, he had encountered the Black Hawk Empire's bridging mechs.

That massive mech must weigh at least tens to hundreds of tons, and judging from the huge structure of its chassis, it should be able to bear even greater loads.

If the Black Hawk Empire were to modify a large mobile chassis into a specialized engineering transport device, they might actually be able to dismantle and take away this giant cannon!

So it seems the Black Hawk Empire is very interested in this giant cannon; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to capture it intact.

So, if we simply hand this giant cannon over to the Black Hawk Empire, could we lead their technology astray?
It would be interesting if the Black Hawk Empire devoted a lot of energy to the research of the Gustav Cannon. I wonder if the Black Hawk Empire has the ability to develop a super cannon that is even more monstrous than the Gustav.

Andrei believed that the Black Hawk Empire most likely possessed such capabilities, and that even after developing this giant cannon, it would probably not be of much use.

However, upon further reflection, he decided it was best to preserve the giant cannon for now, as he wasn't entirely sure what strange advanced technologies this world could develop.

You should know that this world has even developed power armor and rocket drop pods, and there are even airships equipped with void shields and heavy main guns!

Who knows if these guys will modify the super cannon after they get their hands on it, and actually come up with some completely new uses for it?
After much deliberation, Andrei decided that it was best for him to simply protect the giant cannon.

There was no other way; the enemy's technology was too advanced, and many aspects of this world were quite unscientific, so Andrei dared not gamble.

The conflict that broke out in the Volkhov region was discovered by the player's reconnaissance aircraft; he did not receive any communication from them.

Andrei strongly suspected that the enemy had cut the telephone line, which was why he had not received any messages.

Therefore, Andrei immediately issued a new mission to the armored train players, ordering them to provide immediate support to Volkhov. At the same time, he asked the chief of staff:
"Nikolaev, check for me what the garrison in Volkhov is like. I just received a message that Volkhov is under siege by a combined enemy force!"

Nikolayev glanced at Andrei with some suspicion. How come he hadn't noticed when Andrei had received the new message?
Could it be that Andrei could perform a telepathic connection while standing still?
However, considering Andrei's strange abilities and the claims about his divine selection, he no longer hesitated and immediately took action, quickly finding information about Volkhov.

"General, we've found out. The current garrison at Volkhov should be the 54th Army, but their troop strength is not optimistic!"

"This army group suffered a crushing defeat and heavy losses in previous battles, and then a large number of veterans were transferred to form a new army group, so their total strength is now only 3.2 men, and more than 80% of them are supplementary soldiers."

"What's more troublesome is that their army group is severely lacking in artillery and armored forces. The entire army group has less than 30 howitzers and a light armored battalion!"

Holy crap, is it really that bad?

Andrei was a little surprised. An army group with 3.2 troops was indeed a bit small, but not too exaggerated.

Honestly, an army group with only 30 howitzers and a light armored battalion is just too pathetic.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this army group was some kind of ragtag force belonging to a local warlord!

"Wait a minute, speaking of which, how many mechs does a standard light armored battalion on our side have?"

Andrei frowned, and he couldn't help but pray in his heart that the Cambrian Empire's armored battalions could be larger, preferably like the Black Hawk Empire's armored battalions.

Unfortunately, Nikolayev's words ruthlessly shattered his hopes.

"I regret to inform you, General, that according to the latest organizational structure, our light armored battalion has a total of 6 reindeer mechs and 9 burner mechs, for a total of 15 mechs!"

"Considering that the 54th Army had previously encountered a fierce battle, I estimate that their armored battalion was not at full strength!"

Well, it's ruined!

Andrei was truly speechless; this army group was simply the most miserable army group he had ever seen.

Without any hesitation, he immediately continued calling his father.

"General Constantine, I need to report an urgent military situation to you. The train station in the city of Volkhov is under heavy attack by a combined enemy force. The specific details are unknown!"

"However, based on what I understand, the garrison in the city of Volkhov is extremely poorly armed. Their army is basically composed of light infantry and is severely lacking in artillery and armored forces. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to withstand the enemy's attack!"

On the other end of the phone, General Constantine nodded and said urgently:
"Okay, I understand. I'll contact the neighboring military right away. If conditions permit, you can have your air force provide them with some support!"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Constantine hung up the phone. Recalling the ringing of the phone in the background, Andrei guessed that someone else must have been calling his father.

It seems that although we have managed to hold off one of the Black Hawk Empire's attacks, the situation on other fronts must be quite dire.

After reviewing the battle situation and the number of players on his side, Andrei gritted his teeth and issued a mission.

He plans to send 500 cavalry players to support them as quickly as possible, and then have air force players and armored trains work together to hold off a wave of attacks.

The current deployment of 500 players won't have a significant impact, but if 500 players can cooperate with the local garrison and join the meat grinder operation against the enemy, Andrei believes the situation will change dramatically.

Located over the white scar, Khan spotted the suddenly appearing guild quest at a glance.

Although other players can also see similar guild quests besides the ones he received, they don't get guild points for completing them.

"Brilliant! Isn't this mission tailor-made for our guild?"

"No questions asked, everyone mobilize! Let's launch a long-distance raid!"

The Khan waved his hand and addressed the members of his guild, while also posting a screenshot of the guild quest in the chat area.

Khan Loves Racing: [Family members, have you seen this guild quest? If you're interested, join our guild! Cavalry players are welcome to join White Scars!]

Our motto is to grow bigger and stronger, and strive to play Mount & Blade in the world war!

Upon seeing this quest, a group of players immediately agreed to join the White Scars. Many solo players even brought out their past Battlefield Cavalry achievements to show that they were not just casual players.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, White Scars also recruited a large number of cavalry players, who immediately moved from the edge of the battlefield toward the railway and ran away into the distance.

"Sir, we've discovered that an enemy cavalry unit appears to be moving backwards; they're probably preparing to retreat!"

A scout from the Black Hawk Empire, with his binoculars in hand, suddenly noticed the movement of the cavalry in the distance and a look of confusion crossed his face.

He didn't know why a troop of cavalry had suddenly left Andrei's side, but he suspected that the enemy commander might have deserted during the battle!

"Sir, should we pursue them? Maybe we can catch a big fish!"

The officer at the front line glanced at it and quickly reported the news, but he had no intention of pursuing them.

"You're overthinking it. Our unit alone can't catch up. You don't really think that just one regiment of ours can tear through their defenses, do you?"

The officer gave the scout a disapproving look, waved his hand, and said:
"Stop thinking about all that nonsense, just focus on doing your own thing!"

The news quickly reached the rear command. General Clem, who had separated from General Ron and was leading the main attack on Schlüsselburg, glanced at the message, shook his head, and said:

"It's fake. This isn't like Major General Vorontsov. He's not the kind of person who would desert his post."

Although General Clem still held Vorontsov in some contempt, he believed that this general, touted as a rising star by the Cambrian Empire, was not the kind of guy who would just desert in the face of battle.

This was not because he overestimated the accuracy of the Cambrian Empire's media, but because he had previously obtained some special intelligence from other sources.

According to information from the Altrians, Major General Vorontsov's fighting style on the battlefield seemed particularly reckless. He even personally led his troops in a charge, braving his own artillery fire to reach the enemy's position.

It was because of this news that General Clem, while admiring Andrei's courage, couldn't help but feel a slight contempt for him.

In his view, what kind of general would personally lead the charge?
Commanders at this level should stay in the command post and oversee the overall situation from the rear.

Leading a charge is usually the job of the company commander!
After analyzing the map and observing it, he successfully guessed the cavalry's intentions.

"If I'm not mistaken, this cavalry unit is probably heading to support Volkhov. Heh, they're just overestimating themselves!"

After General Clem chuckled twice, his smile suddenly froze.

Wait a minute, something seems off about this cavalry unit!

He suddenly remembered the latest battle report sent back from the front lines and quickly grabbed it.

After observing for a while, General Clem shook his head. He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Andrei's cavalrymen; these people were not normal cavalrymen at all!
He didn't believe that a normal cavalry force was capable of defeating his armored force, even if that armored force was just an armed reconnaissance vanguard.

Thinking of this, he quickly called the Volkhov Army on the other side and said:
"Attention, I have some news for you. You must be on high alert from now on!" "A very special cavalry unit is heading your way. There are about a thousand of them. Don't underestimate this cavalry unit. They might be some kind of chosen army or have undergone special modifications!"

Upon receiving Admiral Clem's call, the commander on the other end nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes, General Clem, please rest assured, we will keep an eye on this cavalry unit!"

"You don't need to worry. You should know that our specialty is cavalry warfare, and the Warsanne cavalry will not disappoint you!"

After saying that, the commander on the other end hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, General Clem frowned in displeasure.

"Damn it, those White Eagle Legion... they must have underestimated us, they don't know anything!"

"Forget it, these guys just had to die. Anyway, I've already alerted them, so they have only themselves to blame for their mishap!"

After uttering a few curses, General Clem ignored the other unit.

Because at this moment, the army attacking Volkhov was not the Black Eagle Army, but a puppet army unit from Warsaw—the White Eagle Legion.

The Black Hawk Empire had already conquered the whole of Warsanne before this, although many Warsannes were unwilling to submit to the rule of the Black Hawk Empire and were doing their best to resist them.

However, at the same time, there are also many people who are willing to pledge allegiance to the Black Hawk Empire. Most of them are Black Hawk ethnic groups living in the Warsaw region, mainly in the Danzig Corridor area.

These people not only pledged allegiance to the Black Hawk Empire, but also formed a puppet army composed of Warsannens, which was personally named the White Hawk Legion by the Black Hawk Emperor.

At this moment, the White Eagle Legion was cooperating with Army Group Center to launch an offensive along the line, and they also received orders to move north, so they temporarily turned around and launched a fierce attack towards Petrograd.

Because the Black Hawk Empire was concerned about the combat effectiveness of this puppet army unit, and because the Black Hawk Empire was not short of cannon fodder at the moment, this puppet army unit was not directly sent over to cooperate with the main force in the attack.

Their mission was to capture Volkhov at all costs and hold the position for three days!

Only by completing this mission can they prove the White Eagle Legion's loyalty; otherwise, the Emperor might consider canceling the White Eagle Legion's designation, which is absolutely unacceptable to them.

Fueled by the fervor of the converts, despite being far less well-equipped than the Black Hawk Empire's regular army, the White Eagle Legion launched an extremely fierce attack on Volkhov and achieved a series of victories.

Although they lacked heavy firepower, the large number of Warsanne cavalrymen displayed astonishing fighting power when facing the 54th Army, which also lacked heavy firepower.

"Soldiers, for our motherland, we must never retreat a single step!"

"Kill these Warsaw bastards, hurrah!"

Located on a fortified position on the outskirts of the city, a light infantry unit of the Cambrian Empire is using the ruins of the buildings there to launch a counterattack against the Warsunian army that is attacking the area.

In this ruin, the bodies of both sides were lying everywhere, and in some places the bodies were even piled up into small mountains.

Even so, the remaining Cambrian soldiers remained there, refusing to retreat an inch.

In this army, apart from the ordinary conscripts who were temporarily recruited, all the officers were young student soldiers temporarily organized from surrounding universities.

These college students had a higher level of loyalty to the Cambrian Empire and a more fervent patriotism. Inspired by them, the other soldiers also stubbornly stayed behind, constantly resisting wave after wave of enemy attacks.

"Report! General Sokolovsky, our new offensive has been repelled by the enemy again!"

In the White Eagle Legion's command headquarters, Lieutenant General Soklovsky, the noble officer in charge of the unit, wore a displeased expression.

"What happened? Why were our soldiers driven back by the enemy again?"

"Damn it, the enemy troops left here to guard the area are just a bunch of hastily mobilized militia. They can't even provide each of them with a gun!"

"Are we really going to fail to capture their positions in the face of such an enemy?"

Sokolovsky was very dissatisfied with the performance of the soldiers at the front. At this rate, when would they be able to capture this important transportation hub?
It's important to understand that this was the most crucial battle for their White Eagle Legion, and also the first large-scale battle they had undertaken since the unit was formed.

With a total of 3 soldiers, coupled with a batch of armored vehicles and artillery provided by the Black Hawk Empire, this force might not be comparable to the Black Hawk Empire's regular army, but it was certainly a formidable land force.
In the end, however, they were stopped by a group of mobilized militiamen, which was a disgrace!

"Continue bombarding the ruins. I refuse to believe it. Are these Cambrian people immortal?"

General Sokolovsky issued the order in a fit of rage, showing no regard for the consumption of artillery shells.

Anyway, they have plenty of shells on hand. If they can drown the enemy with shells, he would never mind doing so!

After the messenger left, he sighed.

It's a pity; it would have been better if the enemy had stayed in the field and fought him.

His army consisted of a cavalry force of 10,000 men, including 3000 lancers.

Although the Black Hawk Empire proved with the blood of countless cavalrymen in the war of their invasion of Warsanne that this era no longer belonged to cavalry.

However, this only applies to cavalry facing armored forces and enemy troops with heavy firepower!
If this were placed in a plain, in a sufficiently open field, he could absolutely rout the Cambrian army consisting only of light infantry!

Just then, an officer next to him reminded him:
"General, should we keep a portion of our cavalry as reserves?"

"General Clem warned us earlier that the Cambrian people seemed to be preparing to send a particularly elite cavalry unit, and we were very likely to run into some trouble!"

Upon hearing this, General Sokolovsky waved his hand arrogantly and said:

"There's no need for that. What do Cambrian people know about cavalry?"

"In this world, I don't believe anyone can defeat the Warsunian cavalry. If the Cambrians have that kind of confidence in their cavalry, then let them come!"

When he said this, the general, who was the cavalry commander, had an arrogant look on his face.

Despite their defeat, he still had full confidence in the Warsaw Nevada cavalry.

At least in his view, no Cambrian Empire cavalry could rival his own.

If it were just a cavalry battle, he was confident he could crush any opponent in the world!
A fierce barrage of artillery fire rained down, with grenades exploding one after another amidst the ruins, causing heavy casualties among the Cambrian soldiers hiding there.

They didn't have time to dig specialized artillery shelters, so they could only use the ruins of these houses as much as possible to protect themselves from enemy shells.

To be honest, the corners of these ruins are fine for blocking enemy shrapnel, but if an enemy shell hits a house directly, that house is basically impossible to stop.

These houses are not sturdy fortresses built of reinforced concrete; many of them even have a main structure made of wood.

Expecting such a house to withstand artillery shells is simply unrealistic!

"Colonel Dennis King, I'm afraid we can't hold off the enemy's attack again!"

In a fairly sturdy house with a cellar, a soldier, covered in dust, ran into the cellar, saluted the colonel before him, and said:

"The enemy's artillery fire is too intense, and judging from their posture, they are probably preparing to launch an attack using armored forces!"

"Excuse my bluntness, Colonel, but we are severely lacking in anti-tank weapons, and our casualties are extremely high. I'm afraid we will have a hard time stopping their next attack!"

Despite the soldier's persuasion, Colonel Dennis King coldly replied:
"That's enough. We have to stop them whether we can or not. Don't forget our mission!"

"No matter what, we must hold this railway line and never let it fall into enemy control!"

"If we lose this position, the situation in Petrograd will become extremely critical!"

To this day, the colonel still doesn't know.

The main reason they received the message to defend the train station at all costs was to cover the approaching Tsar's cannon.

He thought that the reason they had to hold onto this train station was because it was a vital transportation hub to Peterdel!

But just then, another messenger ran in.

The messenger immediately produced a somewhat hastily written order and quickly handed it to Colonel Dennis King, saying:

"Colonel, command has issued an order. The division commander wants us to lead the remaining troops to retreat towards the train station! Clear this area of ​​ruins and stop fighting the enemy here!"

Colonel Dennis King, bewildered, asked somewhat agitatedly:

"What's going on? If we give up even the last bit of space, how are we supposed to hold off the enemy? Do you think we can just rely on the train station to stop them?"

An excited smile appeared on the messenger's face as he hurriedly explained:

"Colonel, good news! An armored train has just arrived here and is now driving next to the train station!"

"As long as we withdraw, this armored train can provide us with fire support."

Wow, an armored train has arrived! That's a real gem!

Upon hearing this news, Colonel Dennis King's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he ordered his soldiers to immediately command the others to retreat.

Now that armored trains have arrived, there's no need for them to stay here.

If they're so capable, let the enemy launch a full-scale attack on the armored train that just arrived. He wants to see if these Warsannes are really that stubborn, and whether they'll bleed after hitting an armored train.

After the artillery fire subsided, a new wave of Warsunian troops rushed forward, their eyes warily scanning the silent ruins.

During the previous battles, they had once thought that these ruins were deserted and that the soldiers inside had all died.

But whenever they approached, the soldiers hiding in the ruins would suddenly shoot at them or engage them in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets.

Although the marksmanship of these replacement soldiers was terrible, at close range, their rifles were basically accurate.

Even if these guys have shaky hands, they shouldn't be unable to hit the enemy at a distance of 20 meters with their rifles.

In such fierce close-quarters combat, the White Eagle Legion soldiers found it difficult to utilize their firepower advantage, resulting in an extremely stalemate in the battle.

However, this time, when the White Eagle Legion soldiers slowly walked up the ruins, they found that no one was there anymore.

Except for a few severely wounded soldiers who were unable to leave and were still holding guns, trying to get rid of a few more enemies before they died, the rest of the Cambrian soldiers had already withdrawn!
The White Eagle Legion soldiers were momentarily bewildered as they easily wiped out the remaining seriously wounded soldiers in the ruins.

The enemy withdrew, which seemed to be the obvious outcome.

But for some reason, they always felt a kind of emptiness in their bodies, as if they punched cotton, having strength but nowhere to use it!
"Very good, it seems these Cambrian people are finally unable to hold on, they are about to lose the train station!"

"Don't stop, keep attacking, follow their retreating steps all the way to the train station!"

Lieutenant General Sokolovsky shouted excitedly, "They have finally broken through the enemy's defenses!"

Once they reach the train station, the enemy will have no room to maneuver. They will then be able to seize this important transportation hub in one fell swoop!
After weighing the options, the lieutenant general simply dispatched the armored units from the legion. A light armored battalion with a total of 60 Peacekeeper mechs marched menacingly into the outskirts of Volkhov.

Their unit doesn't have many armored vehicles, and most of the armored units are Peacekeeper-type mechs that the main force of the Black Hawk armored unit dislikes.

Unfortunately, this thing has weak firepower and thin armor, making it unsuitable for engaging enemy armored forces in armored combat.

But the White Eagles didn't mind; they weren't good at mechanized warfare anyway, and their tactical concepts were very traditional.

For them, this type of mech, suitable for supporting infantry, is very useful, and its low price makes it affordable.

That's right, the White Eagle Legion purchased its weapons and equipment out of their own pockets.

To be precise, it was the major financial backers of this legion, namely the former nobles of Warsonia, who, in order to demonstrate their loyalty to the Black Hawk Empire, simply funded the formation of an army out of their own pockets to fight for the Black Hawk Empire!

After all, they had already paid out of their own pockets and spontaneously organized volunteers to fight for the emperor. Isn't that enough to demonstrate their loyalty?
Emperor Black Hawk was pleased to see these guys pledge their loyalty to him, so he approved their application to form an army.

In any case, no matter what they do, the Black Hawk Empire will not suffer any losses. Moreover, as the scale of the war grows larger, the Black Hawk Empire does need a large number of puppet troops to fill the front lines and serve as cannon fodder.

One after another, the Peacekeeper mechs drove into the streets. This armored force had originally been kept as a reserve by the general and had never been put into use.

After all, the general was poor, and in his view, sacrificing the volunteers who volunteered to fight was far more worthwhile than sacrificing these precious armored units.

However, now that the war has reached a decisive moment, he is prepared to throw his armored forces directly into the train station and storm it in one fell swoop!
But just then, the armored unit that was advancing suddenly heard a train whistle coming from the distant train station.

Wuwuwu——!
"What's going on? Has a train from the Cambrian Empire arrived?"

"Never mind all that, act fast, launch an attack on the train station immediately! Block them before the Cambrian Empire's reinforcements jump off the trains!"

As the officer urged them on through the radio, a group of Warsawian armored soldiers piloted their mechs, charging recklessly toward the distant train station.

Along the way, they occasionally saw soldiers hiding in houses, trying to attack them with Molotov cocktails.

However, these mechs provide cover for each other, and usually, before the soldiers inside the buildings can even peek out, their machine guns have already taken out the enemy.

Just then, a shell falling from the sky suddenly hit the Peacekeeper mech at the front, blasting open the top of the mech like opening a can.

(End of this chapter)
