The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 247 So this is how power armor is captured!

"Attention! Enemies are approaching! Get ready!"

At the Abyss Mage's command, a Dread Knight on the airship immediately drew his greatsword, and the submachine gun on his other arm was disengaged.

Before this, he had already heard about the power of the Cambrian Empire's boarding party.

He was also puzzled. How did these guys come up with such a suicidal tactic, actually parachuting directly onto the airship?
Moreover, given the Cambrian Empire's backward industrial manufacturing capabilities, could they possibly produce parachutes with such high precision?

Even if they possessed the craft, wouldn't their generals and officials have embezzled some of it?

He suddenly remembered a military exercise he had participated in four years ago.

At that time, the Black Hawk Empire was vigorously training its airborne troops, but the quality of the parachutes produced domestically was very problematic!

An investigation by the secret police revealed that the quality problems with these parachutes were not due to manufacturing defects, but rather to the manufacturer's use of substandard raw materials.

After all, compared to high-quality materials, inferior fabrics cost less than one-tenth of the original price.

That's why parachuting was an extremely risky sport back then. Every time the Black Hawk Empire conducted large-scale training, paratroopers would be killed by falling because of this!

Upon learning this news, the decisive Air Force Marshal Albert was furious.

He led a paratrooper unit, forcibly dragged out all the managers from the factory, stuffed them onto an airship, and gave each of them a parachute pack.

When the exercise began, Marshal Albert kicked them all off the airship, forcing them to parachute using the parachutes they had produced.

Sure enough, out of the 22 supervisors who were arrested, two of them were killed on the spot!

The remaining survivors were so terrified that they wet themselves and could barely stand.

Faced with these valuable items, Field Marshal Albert coldly informed them that he would lead them on another military exercise three months later, using parachutes randomly selected from the production line!

Since then, Black Hawk Empire's parachutes have never had any quality issues again.

The Fear Knight shook his head, pulling himself out of his reverie. That was why he wondered how the Cambrian Empire trained its incredibly precise elite paratroopers.
There was no time to think too much. According to what the mage saw with his Abyss Eye, the enemy paratroopers had already landed above their airship.

"Brother, don't worry, leave that guy to me. He's just a mere paratrooper who jumped up here. Watch me chop him down with one sword..."

The young Fear Knight Hans had an excited smile on his face. He was eager to make a name for himself and kill that brave elite paratrooper!
He admired the enemy's courage, and it was precisely because of this admiration that he wanted to kill the guy even more.

But the mage's words left Hans speechless.

"Wait, don't act rashly, that guy seems suspicious!"

"What the hell! What the hell is this?!"

Hans shook the mage's shoulder, frowned, and asked:
"What's going on, bro? What did you see?"

The monk opened one eye, revealing a look of astonishment, and said:

"Damn it, that paratrooper who jumped out must have some kind of special teleportation technology. That guy clearly jumped up alone, but suddenly five soldiers appeared next to him!"

Hearing this, the Fear Knight was also stunned.

What kind of magic is this? How did an enemy jump up and bring a bunch of people with him?
"Don't worry, they're just six Cambrian soldiers. I can still charge in and kill them all!"

Hans patted his chest, suppressing his astonishment, and said confidently.

But in the next second, his skin turned blood red, his face contorted in a grotesque expression, and he let out a blood-curdling scream.

"what--!"

After letting out a scream, Hans fell straight to the ground, his heavy power armor making a dull thud before going still.

The Abyss Mage only needed to sense his life information slightly to know that Hans, who had just been speaking to him, was already dead!
"Oh no, the enemy even has a mage who jumped up!"

The Abyss Mage knew that this effect could only be achieved through some special spell, and it might even be some rare curse!
He didn't know how to deal with the curse, nor did he know the level of the enemy's mage.

In fact, he had not participated in many battlefield battles, let alone faced enemy mages.

As a young battle mage, he spent most of his life in the academy, which gave him a solid foundation, extremely skilled spellcasting techniques, and a large amount of magic power accumulated through many days of meditation.

However, at the same time, he also severely lacked combat experience, especially combat experience between mages!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis on his scalp, as if a knife was scraping against his scalp!
Without any hesitation, he quickly conjured a shield around himself. The semi-transparent shield emitted a pungent sulfurous smell, and the slightly flowing light helped him block this terrible curse!

"What a vicious spell! How can it make a person's blood boil in an instant?"

After experiencing the attack method of this spell's visual effect, an incredulous look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Unbelievable! Hans was killed by the enemy with a curse, and in such a tragic way!
What use is power armor against such an attack?
Without time to think too much, he quickly ordered the soldiers beside him to rush forward, trying to get them to quickly take down the enemy mage.

At the same time, he himself charged up with these soldiers.

He dared not make a direct move because he was not confident that he could escape the combined attack of the opposing mage and soldiers.

But he became much bolder when accompanied by his own soldiers.

Unfortunately, he didn't possess this hidden and invisible curse; otherwise, he could have simply unleashed a curse on the mage above him as well.

Although the sulfur fire rain he controlled had great destructive power, a single shot could be equivalent to a giant cannon equipped with incendiary bombs.

But in such an environment, he couldn't possibly use sulfur fire rain on his airship, could he?
Before the Black Hawk soldiers could even charge forward, more men fell.

However, the other Black Hawk soldiers ignored their fallen comrades and quickened their pace, continuing to grit their teeth and charge forward.

From what they had just witnessed, they knew that there was a sorcerer above who could cast terrible curses on them from afar.

Therefore, these soldiers knew very well that they could die at any moment before they killed the mage!
At a time like this, instead of trying to save a comrade who has already been cursed to death by the enemy, they might as well kill the enemy themselves. Otherwise, it would be like trying to rescue a wounded comrade under enemy machine gun fire, which would only result in them getting themselves killed.

However, they seemed to have underestimated the casting speed of the psionicists above them.

After Andrei activated the Inquisition's skull insignia, the psionicists' crisis level rose much more slowly, which gave them the ability to use spells continuously.

Although they couldn't reuse spells too many times in a short period of time, wiping out a small enemy squad of a few people in no time was no problem at all.

One soldier after another fell, and the Abyss Mage, maintaining his shield with trepidation, watched the soldiers fall around him.

When he successfully climbed up the ladder and reached the exit leading upwards, he found that there was only one soldier left beside him!

The soldier gritted his teeth, ran ahead of the abyss mage, and began to climb upwards.

The Empire's training required them to protect mages when necessary, as mages were more valuable than ordinary soldiers.

But the merciless spell instantly took the soldier's life, causing his heavy body to fall silently down onto the mage below the ladder.

"Gan!"

He was hit hard by a corpse and almost knocked over on the spot. Fortunately, a shield blocked his way and saved him from injury.

He casually moved the corpse aside and climbed up as fast as he could. As soon as he showed his face, he quickly used magic to summon two Aether Hounds.

Two bizarrely shaped ether hounds with tentacles growing from their sides and looking as if they had been skinned alive ran toward several players in the distance as soon as they were summoned.

"Oh my, what is this thing? It's quite a unique little thing!"

One player looked at the Etherhound with a hint of curiosity, then pulled the trigger hard.

Although he was puzzled as to where this thing, which was clearly not an Earth creature, had come from, that did not stop him from firing his gun.

Several bullets struck the Etherhound hard, but to the player's surprise, the creature seemed to be much more resilient than he had imagined!

He fired several shots, but the thing wasn't killed; it just paused its charge for a moment!
But the psionic player casually flicked out a flame, and the blazing psionic flame, like a flamethrower, instantly engulfed the Aetherhound's body.

To the astonishment of the psionic player, the ethereal hound enveloped in psionic flames melted away completely in the flames, just like ice and snow melting.

I never expected that my psionic energy would have a special effect against this thing!
The Abyss Mage seemed not to have anticipated that his Etherhound would be taken down so easily by the enemy. Other players kept shooting at him, making his shield appear to be on the verge of collapse.

Under normal circumstances, his shield should not have been so easily penetrated, but who knew that these Cambrian soldiers who teleported up actually had small cannons?

I don't know what those small cannons that were mounted on the ground were, but they hit his shield once and almost caused it to collapse on the spot!

He couldn't even imagine how effective this thing would be against mechs!

The Abyss Mage still wanted to put up a last-ditch resistance, but to his surprise, the enemy charged at him with bayonets raised!

Suddenly remembering a rumor circulating in the army recently, he didn't hesitate and quickly rolled away to dodge the bayonet!

In that very instant, as the bayonet pierced the shield in front of him, his shield seemed to be struck by something terrible, instantly shattering into magical fragments!

Before the mage could get up, another player kicked him hard in the waist, making him clutch his back in pain!

"Wait, don't kill him yet, I need to ask him some questions!"

One player suddenly stopped his companion, then took out a small knife, brandished it in his hand, and held it up to the mage with a sinister grin, saying:
"Answer my questions honestly, or I won't hesitate to skin you alive. Guess what I did before I joined the army?"

The mage trembled. He didn't know what this Cambrian giant had done before he joined the army, but he knew that this guy was incredibly skilled with a knife!

Moreover, the expression on his face was too fierce, and he had a certain inexplicable aura about him!
Soon, the mage completely yielded to the players and answered all of their questions one by one.

To the players' surprise, they had only asked tentatively, but they did not expect that the mage would actually understand the language of the Cambrian Empire.

"...Tell me where you learned your magic? How did you learn these spells?"

"All children in the Black Hawk Empire will go to the community hospital to have their blood drawn and tested after they turn 12. If they are found to have magical talent, they will be forcibly sent to a magic academy!"

"There, we will choose a spellcasting school based on our abilities and interests, and after completing a series of courses, we will learn spells! The rest of the time will be endless training!"

Recalling the past, the monk's face showed a hint of lingering fear.

Although the magic academy in the Black Hawk Empire teaches very useful things, the teachers there are extremely strict.

The early morning self-study sessions that started at 6 a.m., the various messy tests and training sessions, and the meditation activities he had to do after returning to his dormitory all made him feel extremely miserable.
In particular, their first lesson upon entering the academy required them to quickly master meditation and learn to replace sleep with meditation in order to accumulate magic power more quickly.

From this perspective, it can be said that the Black Hawk Empire's powerful mages are purely a product of this cramming-style education.

It is indeed difficult to cultivate a sufficiently experienced and excellent mage in this way, but the Black Hawk Empire does not need too many excellent mages.

In the time it takes to train one excellent mage, they can train hundreds or thousands of mages in batches, and then these hundreds or thousands of mages can hunt down any mage team in the world!
The players exchanged glances, planning to visit that magic academy sometime in the future.

They were hoping to conquer the Black Hawk Empire, then storm into the magic academy to unlock some skill books and study them properly.

After all, who wouldn't want to be a mage?

Although they have the psychic class to choose from, psychics only have a few skills, which is quite monotonous.

If given the chance, they wouldn't mind trying out the background classes in the game, believing that these classes should all have ways to change jobs!
"Very well, so the second question is, why can't we remove the power armor from the dead soldiers?"

One player pointed at the Dread Knight on the ground, who had been cursed to death by the psionicist, and asked with a curious expression.

They noticed this as soon as they started playing the game.

The Dread Knights they killed in various ways seemed unable to have their power armor stripped off, but the problem was that they could pick up all of the enemy's other equipment!
This left players quite puzzled, wondering what secrets power armor held that gave it such a function.
Hearing the soldier's question, the mage hesitated for a moment, but considering that the gleaming dagger was still pressed against his waist, and for the sake of his kidney, he decided to give in.

"That's right. Black Hawk Empire's power armor has a unique binding system. Relying on this special system, we can make the power armor fit the user's body more closely, allowing them to make more flexible movements."

"At the same time, if the power armor's binding system is not removed, then this power armor cannot be pried open from the outside."

As he spoke, the mage shakily fiddled with his comrade's corpse, turning poor Hans over.

Immediately afterwards, the player saw a strange metal rod stuck in Hans's neck.

Like a sharp spike, a special metal object was inserted precisely into the back of Hans's cervical spine.

When the mage turned the combination lock on top, which resembled a screw-top lock, he was able to pull out the spike without any trouble!

"For each Dread Knight's power armor to be removed, the correct password must be entered, and the Empire sets the initial password according to the Dread Knight's number."

As he spoke, he placed the bloodstained monitor aside and then smoothly unlocked a series of metal clips on the power armor, saying:

"It seems Hans doesn't care much about this encryption device, so he's been using the initial password all along. Thank goodness! Once this thing is pulled out, the power armor can be taken off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Abyss Mage was pushed aside by the players, and the Psionic player couldn't wait to put on the power armor!
"Wow, this is awesome! I can actually wear this power armor!"

When he clicked to put on the armor, his body entered an automatic animation mode. With incredible skill, he quickly put on the armor plates and adjusted his power backpack.

Even the spike that connected to his nerves pierced straight into his neck, making it extremely bloody and brutal.

The monk stood by, dumbfounded. Where did this animal come from?
When the Dark Knights of the Black Hawk Empire are fitted with this power armor, they all need to undergo certain modification surgery beforehand, which involves installing a metal interface on their cervical spine.

Why did this guy just shove the neural nail from the power armor into his neck? Wasn't he afraid of breaking his neck?
Also, he didn't know the origin of this Cambrian soldier, and how this guy could be faster than the Dread Knight when wearing power armor.
The thought that this guy was also a spellcaster made him even more confused.

What kind of nonsense have the spellcasters of the Cambrian Empire learned? Are they supposed to be trained to be heavy armor users?
Thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a special unit of the Iris Empire.

The Iris Sword Warriors are a rare but extremely elite unit, consisting of only 30 men.

Each of these guys had learned a rudimentary form of shadow magic, and were particularly skilled at stealth and shadow movement. At the same time, they were also equipped with a set of power armor similar to that of the Dread Knights, complete with a greatsword.

The mere thought of that team appearing and disappearing without a trace, suddenly bursting forth from the heart of the Black Hawk Empire's forces, instantly slaughtering a horde with a whirlwind attack—the mage could hardly bear to watch. Could it be that the Cambrian Empire was also planning something similar?

After acquiring this equipment, the Psionicist player immediately received unanimous envy from his teammates.

However, his teammates were quite reliable, and no one tried to take the power armor from him, since he was the one who killed the Dread Knight.

Of course, as compensation, the psionic player also gave each teammate an extra amount of merit points.

He was only able to get on the airship and kill people because his teammates pulled him over. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find a lone Fear Knight and steal his equipment!

"Very good, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

After receiving the equipment, the psionic player nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to try to persuade the mage to join him as an NPC teammate, the mage did something unexpected.

He leaped up with astonishing speed and instantly picked up the tactical backpack that the psionic player had just thrown away in order to put on the power backpack.

Immediately afterwards, the guy unleashed a spell, blasting a large hole in the side bulkhead of the airship, and then jumped straight down.

"Holy crap, is this NPC really that stubborn, preferring death to following us?"

The player could hardly bear to watch as the mage plummeted to the ground and was smashed into a pile of mud.

Are they really that scary?

What they didn't know was that when the mage jumped out of the airship, he realized something was wrong only when he was in mid-air!

"Damn it! Where's the parachute? Where did the parachute in this bag go?"

"Aaaaaah, where's the parachute?!"

Earlier, he noticed that the Cambrian soldiers all had the same backpacks.

So he thought these Cambrian soldiers were all paratroopers, just like the guy who parachuted in at the beginning!

Although he was forced to temporarily submit to the enemy's tyranny, it was only to protect himself as an important battle mage and to safeguard the empire's precious assets.

There's no way he would betray Black Hawk and then defect to the Cambrian Empire.

Therefore, when he saw the backpack in the corner, he did not hesitate and immediately chose to parachute to safety.

But when he was about to pull the handle to deploy the parachute, he discovered that there was no parachute in the backpack at all, only a bunch of random gadgets.

With a scream, he tragically fell to the ground and remained motionless.

"This is weird, is this guy in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

The players didn't understand the Black Hawk Mage's tragic actions, but since this guy was courting death, they didn't care.

After quickly taking control of the airship, they flew towards the air force base, and at that moment, the air battle above the air force base had reached an astonishing level.

One plane after another swooped down toward the air force base below, firing a barrage of rockets that slammed into the base's Void Shield.

In addition, bomber players kept dropping bombs downwards, and after a series of bombs landed on the ground, there was a chaotic explosion.

It was also thanks to the Black Hawk Empire's high regard for its flight base that it was able to protect the area around it with a Void Shield.

Otherwise, given the players' relentless bombing tactics, their base would have been destroyed long ago!
But all the Black Hawk soldiers present knew that if the enemy continued to bombard them like this, their base would be destroyed sooner or later!
"Damn it, where are all the air defense squadrons around our air force base?"

"We've set up so many anti-aircraft guns, and even have mages to defend against the enemy's air force. Is it really still not enough to stop them?"

Major General Galvez roared angrily at the soldiers around him, feeling intensely uneasy about the bombing overhead.

It should be noted that there are two large airships docked at this airship base, as well as a number of other smaller airships.

If these airships are bombed by the enemy before they even have a chance to take off, then the Black Hawk Empire's air force will be in a huge embarrassment!

Regardless of what others say, Galvez's rank of Major General will definitely be stripped by the Empire on the spot. The Black Hawk Empire has never needed such an incompetent person!

The 88mm anti-aircraft guns located around this airship base played a huge role; most of the player aircraft that were shot down by the enemy were shot down by these 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Although the 88mm anti-aircraft gun does not have the same firepower density as other anti-aircraft guns, it is extremely lethal. If an aircraft is hit, it will be blown to pieces on the spot.

With this thing around, players can't really utilize their aircraft repair skills.

Otherwise, even if a player's plane is hit, they can fly a distance away, use their repair skills to recover some health, or fix a mechanical malfunction, and they'll be back to normal.

But precisely because of this, some players, caught up in the moment, all turned their firepower towards the surrounding 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten their purpose: to bomb the airship base here. All that remained in their minds was the anti-aircraft guns in front of them.

"Watch out for the magic circle above us!"

One player looked at the green light flashing overhead, shouted to his companion, and then made an emergency turn to the side.

The Black Hawk Empire has gathered at least 10 mages here. A group of abyss mages will soon use sulfur fire rain to form a connected magic circle.

If a player is not careful, their plane will be drenched in a cloud of green flames falling from the sky and burned to ashes on the spot.

Meanwhile, these mages were hiding in the air force base while casting their spells, relying on the air force base's own void shield for cover!

I don't know how the Black Hawk Empire's construction speed is so fast; they managed to move the Void Shield system to the base so quickly.

"General, can we contact other airship bases and request air support?"

"If we continue to be on the defensive like this, our defense system is constantly being damaged. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on!"

One of the staff officers hurriedly spoke to Major General Galvez, but the major general simply shook his head indifferently.

"Stop thinking about it too much, let our soldiers keep fighting!"

"I have contacted several air bases in the vicinity, but unfortunately, they can't provide support for us for at least five hours!"

Thinking of this, Major General Galvez couldn't help but complain to his fellow airmen at the other bases.

Damn it, how did all these guys end up returning to base at the same time?
Don't they have any bases with field missions?
One of the Fearless mechs, originally intended for the base's defense, was temporarily deployed as an air defense unit in the battle.

It must be said that the pilot of this mech has superb gunnery skills. Even in the face of the player's erratic flight path, the mech still managed to hit the target twice and successfully shot down a bomber!

Seeing the arrogant appearance of this mech, the players were filled with righteous indignation!
That's outrageous! This thing is shooting at their air force like it's a target practice. It's incredibly arrogant!

"Damn it, don't underestimate our abilities!"

One player gritted his teeth and flew his fighter jet straight down, performing a desperate dive, or rather, a kamikaze crash!
Their biplanes were slow, allowing them to crash directly into the enemy's air shield!

The Dreadnought mechs below, still happily firing from behind the Void Shield, left the armored soldiers inside dumbfounded.

No, buddy?
Is it really necessary to work this hard?!
How much salary did that Tsar pay you to work so hard?

To his astonishment, the unexpected bomber managed to evade the surrounding anti-aircraft fire by diving, and then crashed heavily into his mech!

The immense kinetic energy instantly knocked his mech to the ground, and then the ammunition detonated, turning the Dauntless mech into a pile of scrap metal.

Seeing this, the other players followed suit and launched kamikaze attacks on the airship base below!
It's thanks to the fact that many players made a fortune in previous battles that they were able to withstand such aircraft losses.

Otherwise, unless they are veterans who have accumulated a lot of merit, ordinary players are still reluctant to use their planes like this.

"By the Emperor! Have these Cambrian people gone mad?"

Major General Galvez was nearly scared to death when he saw planes diving down toward his base. He shared the same question as the armored soldiers before him: Why are these guys fighting so hard?
"Stop them! Don't let them crash into our base!"

Despite the surrounding anti-aircraft fire and the desperate attempts of mages on the ground to stop them, planes were constantly being blown up by anti-aircraft guns, but some planes still crashed heavily into the airship base.

With several loud bangs, a section of the roof above the airship base shattered instantly. The explosions flying everywhere not only killed and injured the ground crew inside the base, but also pierced the gasbags of several airships.

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness these airships weren't filled with hydrogen, otherwise they would have been completely destroyed!"

Major General Galvez looked at the huge scratches on the airships' gasbags and couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

If this thing were already filled with hydrogen, it would have definitely exploded on the spot during the collision.

At that point, probably no one in this entire base will survive!

However, he is now a little worried that the enemy might blow up the hydrogen tanks in the base.
Although the hydrogen storage cylinders in the base were buried underground, who knows if their bombs might blow through the surface and detonate the cylinders underneath?

If we blow this thing up, the base will be ruined!

After a wave of kamikaze attacks, the players lost more than 20 planes, but in the end only about a quarter of the players were able to successfully crash into the airship base.

After being resurrected, the other players flew over quickly while also regaining some of their sanity.

They suddenly realized that they couldn't just keep pushing forward like this, otherwise the final losses would be too great; they clearly had a better solution.

For example, at the nearest outpost airfield in Andrei, a bomber pilot preparing to take off shouted loudly at a KV-1 tank behind him:

"Hurry, hurry! Get to the top of the hill and then fly to my plane!"

"Damn it, the Black Hawk Empire's paratroopers even have rocket-propelled drop pods. Let's just go all out and give them a try airdropping tanks!"

A smile crept onto the player's lips as he watched the tank come to a smooth stop on the wing.

These Black Hawks aren't good enough to compete with them in terms of sheer audacity!
Besides him, each of the other bombers had a tank parked on it, and even the smaller fighter jets had a chrysanthemum car parked on their wings.

It can be said that if this revived air force were to fly back, it could immediately drop more than 20 armored combat units onto the ground.

It's time to show the Black Hawk Empire the amazing armored airborne tactics!
Give them a little shock, and tell them to stop being so arrogant!

When this air force unit finally returned to the war zone after a lot of trouble, Major General Galvez looked at the scene in the sky and wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him!

"Holy crap, the emperor's chrysanthemum! What the hell is this thing?"

"Am I still half asleep? Or am I hallucinating? How did these armored vehicles manage to land on top of enemy aircraft?"

It has to be said that the player's abstract maneuver of parking a tank on a plane completely stunned the enemy.

They didn't understand what a physics engine was; all they knew was that the sight before them was enough to send the coffin of the Bull King of the Nightless Empire flying through the air!
Major General Galvez didn't know exactly how much load capacity these planes had, but based on his experience, he judged that their load capacity shouldn't be too great.

Even the airships of their Black Hawk Empire couldn't carry large armored vehicles up there, so how could these mechanical birds made of wood possibly carry armored vehicles up there?
And why is it that when these planes make such big movements in the sky, the armored vehicles don't fall down?

Do those armored vehicles get a jacking bonus when they get stuck on the plane?
As the players' planes swooped down towards the ground again, players in tanks started their vehicles and drove off the planes.

Under the stunned gaze of the Black Hawk Empire, these armored vehicles crashed into the ground like giant iron lumps falling from the sky, creating a huge crater on the spot.

One of the more unfortunate anti-aircraft positions was bracing for an enemy dive bombing from above when a KV-1 tank suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Watching such a massive iron block weighing nearly 50 tons crash down on their heads, the morale of the Black Hawk soldiers truly collapsed!
The soldier hit by this thing was instantly turned into a pile of mud, and the anti-aircraft gun was also smashed into a pile of iron discs on the ground. The soldiers who witnessed all this were almost killed by the shock.

Just as he caught his breath, the tank started up in a spectacular fashion to his astonishment!
Are you kidding me? When did the Cambrian Empire's military industry reach such an unbelievable level?

Please, this thing fell directly from the sky. Falling from such a height, even if the machinery could withstand it, the people inside would have been smashed into mincemeat, right?

Just how robust must the suspension system and various components of this thing be to ensure it can still be driven after falling from hundreds of meters in the sky?

The scene was utterly speechless, as one after another, the tanks and armored vehicles that had crashed to the ground started up again with a rumble.

Black Hawk Empire soldiers, armed with anti-tank rifles, hid in the shadows, attempting to retaliate against these armored units. However, their bullets bounced off the surface of the KV-1 tanks.

If it were replaced with the large anti-armor rifle used by the Dread Knight, that thing might still pose a certain threat to medium tanks.

However, if you simply use this kind of ordinary infantry anti-armor rifle, this thing can take down old World War I tanks. Whether it's a T-34 or a KV-1 tank, they are completely immune to this thing.

"Stop them! Quickly! Stop them!"

Major General Galvez screamed in despair, completely unable to believe that the enemy's armored forces had stopped right in front of his own base!

One of the Black Hawk soldiers gritted his teeth, picked up a satchel charge, and charged forward, ready to fight the tank to the death.

However, the machine gun fire from the front of the tank riddled him with bullets first.

"Hehehe, this base is mine now! Let me see what good stuff is inside?"

The player laughed as he pushed the tank to its maximum speed. The clumsy KV-1 tank roared with alarming engine noise, seemingly preparing to crash straight into the wall.

But just then, a huge cannon blast suddenly came from afar.

Before the player-driven KV-1 tank could react, a huge shell slammed into the rear of the tank.

With a deafening explosion, the tank's turret was blown off on the spot, and the entire vehicle burst into flames.

"Holy crap! Look! What's that behind us?"

Other players turned the turret and noticed the scene behind the tank, and were instantly stunned.

Because they saw an incredibly large steel behemoth slowly approaching them from afar.

(End of this chapter)
