The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 253 The Titan War Outside Chudovo
At this moment, in the General Staff Headquarters in Berlin, General Franz, who now serves as the Reich Chief of the General Staff, is frowning as he arranges the general movements of the Titan Legion based on information gathered from the front lines.

"Overall, the situation on the eastern front seems to be somewhat unexpected. The Cambrian Empire's will to resist is much stronger than we imagined, especially along the Petrograd line, where the Cambrian Empire seems to have amassed a large force for defense!"

"According to the latest reports from the front lines, the Cambrian Empire has acquired a Titan Legion that is unprecedented in our records, just like those steel war chariots that are completely unknown in our intelligence, as well as those special mechanical birds."

After listening to his subordinate's report, General Franz nodded and then asked:
"Could you elaborate on the current situation of this new Titan Legion of the Cambrian Empire? I'm a little worried..."

He didn't say what he was specifically worried about, and then he suddenly stopped talking.

However, the officer who came to report did not notice General Franz's pause. After saluting, he continued, holding the intelligence:

"General, according to the feedback from the soldiers at the front, the Cambrian Empire's newest Titan Legion is also some kind of special steel war machine, except that their war machines seem to be particularly huge!"

"Although there is no accurate data, based on the descriptions of frontline soldiers, we estimate that this steel armored vehicle is at least 30 meters long, about 12 meters wide, and also more than 10 meters high."

"The main gun turret of this steel vehicle appears to have been salvaged from a battleship, but the caliber of its main guns doesn't seem to be the common caliber used by the Cambrian Empire. Instead, it's more similar to our .380 naval guns. We are still investigating this..."

Listening to his subordinate's report, General Frans frowned slightly. He couldn't understand what kind of strange Titan this was.

Well, strictly speaking, he didn't think this thing could be considered a Titan at all; it was just a new type of steel war machine.

But then again, what's the difference between a steel war machine of this size and a battleship on land?
Faced with such a war behemoth, apart from Titan units, ordinary mechs simply cannot inflict any fatal damage on it.

Although he didn't know the exact defensive parameters of this tank, he was certain that such a massive steel vehicle couldn't be entirely hollow; it must have extensive armor protection.

Otherwise, why would the Cambrian Empire design such a large war machine?
Are they trying to throw a party in their steel tanks because their noble officers don't get enough of a life of luxury?
"Alright, I understand the situation regarding this force. I believe the Emperor's Son Titan Legion can handle them!"

General Franz waved his hand, his face not showing much concern.

When he reviewed the intelligence and learned that only two of these super tanks had appeared in this Titan Legion, he concluded that this so-called Titan Legion was nothing more than a defective product.

With just these two tanks, the enemy can only be said to possess Titan units, but they are absolutely no match for their Titan legion.

Moreover, the Cambrian Empire does not have the technology to deflect shields. Even if they deploy mages on their chariots, how long can they hold out?
If they were to engage in a direct confrontation, their Caesar-class Titans could absolutely shred the Cambrian Empire's super tanks to pieces!
Therefore, Admiral Franz immediately turned his attention to the other side of the strait, to the lands of the Nightless Empire.

Prior to this, the Black Hawk Empire launched a large-scale military operation, including a massive bombing campaign against the Nightless Empire and a probing landing operation, known as Operation Sea Lion.

They originally thought that they had successfully tied down the Titan Legion of the Nightless Empire with large-scale bombing, forcing them to prevent them from directly heading to the landing site to intercept them.

However, the sudden appearance of a brand-new Titan Legion by the Nightless Empire disrupted their original plans, resulting in the near annihilation of their newly dispatched landing force.

It was also thanks to the fact that they only launched a probing attack instead of a large-scale general offensive.

Otherwise, their offensive plan would never have been able to proceed, especially since their navy was unable to suppress the navy of the Nightless Empire and was instead being suppressed by the enemy, leaving them only able to rely on their air force to counterattack the navy.

"General, according to the latest intelligence from the front lines, the newest Titan Legion of the Nightless Empire seems to be acting strangely!"

The staff officer who came to report glanced at the latest battle report, frowned slightly, but still spoke according to its contents:

"This Titan legion is completely different from the Titans we have encountered before. They seem to have undergone some kind of strange biological activation. Each Titan is like a living steel machine, as if it has come to life."

Upon hearing this, General Franz suddenly raised his head, looked at his staff officer with an incredulous expression, and asked:
"Wait a minute, what's going on? What do you mean their Titans have come back to life?"

"Uh, General, I'm having some trouble explaining this for a moment. I can only say that the battle reports from the front lines do describe it that way!"

At this point, the staff officer selected a few passages to read aloud:

"...We encountered three Titans. The Empire's Titans went to meet them, but the Titans of the Nightless Empire moved even closer."

"What we can't understand is that as this Titan approached, it suddenly grew a gaping maw of flames, tearing at our Titan like a predator, and biting right through our Titan's armor!"

"...Those Titans are bloodthirsty demons; they are devouring the corpses we left behind on the battlefield!"

"...A spy reported to me that the people of the Wuxiao Empire are collecting the corpses of those who died on the battlefield, putting them into cement mixers to grind them up, and then pouring them into large tanks."

"Some large tanks were transported to the Titan Legion of the Nightless Empire and then injected into the Titans' fuel tanks!"

Upon hearing this, General Franz waved his hand, already unable to listen any longer.

What kind of nonsense is this? Why does he feel like he's listening to a fantasy novel?
"Okay, to summarize, if our soldiers aren't hallucinating, then the enemy's Titans seem to have transformed into some kind of beast in mechanical skin!"

"And this thing seems to be able to be driven to a certain extent using shredded human tissue and flesh remains?"

After listening to General Franz's summary, the soldier nodded and said:
"Yes, General, that's exactly right. This seems to match some of the situations we've encountered before!"

"Prior to this, the Imperial Air Force had been attacked by a special weapon from the Nightless Empire called the Hell Dragon. That thing was like a giant bird or pterosaur made of steel, which would pounce on and tear our airships apart!"

The more General Franz analyzed the situation, the more he felt it was becoming increasingly difficult.

He was certain that this was by no means a simple technological issue; the sudden surge in productivity of the Wuxiao Empire must have some hidden tricks involved, perhaps some kind of magic or metaphysics.

To be honest, as a rather traditional soldier, he has always disliked the presence of uncertain factors such as magic and metaphysics in war.

Because this thing seriously interferes with his thinking!
But His Majesty the Emperor was obsessed with magic and particularly liked to place battle mages in the army, and these battle mages did indeed perform quite well.

This meant that General Franz did not have much opposition to the mage unit, only a slight dislike for it.

Because some units in this mage force are really too wicked, especially those guys who play necromancy. They like to dig up other people's graves all day long, so much so that wherever they go, the Imperial army is infamous!
Unexpectedly, the Wuxiao Empire has now begun to increase its investment in mages, or rather, in certain mystical powers.

He didn't know what these living machines were all about, but he was certain there was something strange about them.

"Alright, help me summarize a report. I'll report it to His Majesty the Emperor later. This matter is extremely important!"

"I hope that Heinrich can be more reliable. He's been too obsessed with vying for power lately, but his secret police are extremely inefficient and simply not up to the empire's current strategic needs!"

Faced with General Franz's complaints, the staff officer simply lowered his head, looking down at his nose and inwardly contemplating his own thoughts.

Faced with the struggle between these big shots, he dared not get involved; he could only remain a nobody on the sidelines.

Andrei had no idea what was happening inside the Black Hawk Empire's General Staff, nor did he know that the Nightless Empire, thousands of miles away, had created some extremely abstract things.

If Andrei were to see with his own eyes some of the war machines that the Nightless Empire has recently deployed to the battlefield, he would surely point at those things and exclaim in astonishment, "Demon Engines!"

At this very moment, Andrei is busy figuring out how to defend the city.

Overall, he didn't think Chudovo could be defended, even though the city was indeed very important.

As long as the city exists, the Schlüsselburg transportation hub that Andrei needs to defend will be in a safe position, but he would never place his troops in such a desperate situation.

In the previous offensive, this area has now been turned into a salient by Andrei.

Given the importance of this place, he was certain that the Black Hawk Empire would launch a fierce counterattack, and they would never allow the Cambrian Empire to retake the city.

So here's the question: Andrei has no friendly forces to cover or support him, and with only less than a division of troops he brought, how can he defend this place?

Does he really intend to make players stay here and fight to the death, turning Chudovo, a city with little complex structure and architecture to begin with, into a replica of Stalingrad?

Andrei had considered this tactic before, but putting aside the cost, he also considered how to prevent his troops from suffering excessive losses under the enemy's superior artillery.

One question alone was enough to make Andrei abandon this crazy plan:

Why is he fighting so hard to protect this place?

He is launching an attack here now, partly to draw the enemy's attention and relieve some pressure on the main force.

On the other hand, he also wanted to rescue the troops who had been defending the Chudovo line and then being surrounded, so that Petrograd could gain more manpower.

Therefore, it's fine for him to defend a little here, but if he tries to defend desperately here, then there will be a big problem.

Before he transmigrated here, Andrei felt that one statement made a lot of sense:
The saying "the capable are always busy" means that capable people will always have endless work to do.

In fact, judging from the current situation, he already has this tendency.

Because Andrei was the only one who could defeat the Black Hawk Empire's army on the front lines, his troops were practically a fire brigade.

One dangerous war after another would always draw him to this location.

Despite his reliance on players, he is barely managing to hold on in the current situation.

But no matter how outstanding his performance is, he can't possibly withstand the attack of the entire Black Hawk Empire's Northern Army Group on his own, can he?
If things really came to that, putting aside whether he would have to face even more severe tests, the Tsar's mere fear would be enough to make him feel utterly disgusted.

During these days, through snippets of conversation with his father, he gained a general understanding of what kind of person the Tsar was.

To put it bluntly, that guy was a typical feudal ruler.

The Tsar's mind was filled with thoughts of centralization and how to defend against local powers; everyone else was merely his subject.

In such a situation, if a local force suddenly emerges and displays overwhelming combat power, the Tsar would certainly not be particularly pleased.

Once the initial excitement wears off, he'll start to get anxious. From the ruler's perspective, it would be a miracle if he didn't hinder Andrei.

Thinking about it this way, Andrei lost interest in fighting too hard here, especially since his rank was slow to rise.

Although he knew his promotion speed was as fast as a rocket, if he couldn't be promoted to lieutenant general and get more player recruitment slots, why should he work so hard?
In the end, they gain nothing but a bunch of meaningless medals, while also incurring the envy of others.

All I can say is that he's starting to think about things more and more these days.

"General Vorontsov, we have detected enemy activity ahead!"

"A bunch of massive war machines, as big as small mountains, are approaching. Those things must be the Titans of the Black Hawk Empire. They are less than 40 kilometers away from us!"

Just as Andrei was looking at the map with his hands behind his back, quietly pondering, a cavalryman, covered in sweat from running, suddenly rushed in.

After listening to the cavalryman's report, Andrei nodded, then patted him on the shoulder to encourage him, saying:

"Very good, thank you for your reconnaissance, your mission is complete!"

"Next, follow the other units and retreat as far back as possible. We have taken over this battlefield."

Hearing Andrei say this, the cavalryman became somewhat anxious. His face flushed, he shouted:
"General, you can't say that. Defending Chudovo was our mission after all..."

But before he could finish speaking, Andrei interrupted him.

"A temporary retreat does not mean defeat. You are no longer fit to continue fighting. Staying here will only lead to your deaths."

"The enemy's next troops will all be equipped with heavy artillery and heavy armor, while you are just a group of light infantry and cavalry. How are you going to deal with the overwhelming enemy force?"

"You must understand that you are all veterans with rich combat experience. This is the Empire's most valuable asset right now. Once you return to the rear, adjust your condition, and are fully equipped with weapons, you will definitely be able to crush even more Black Hawk devils!"

Since Andrei had already put it this way, the cavalryman had no choice but to nod, give Andrei a solemn salute, and then leave.

Although Chudovo's defenses had been breached by the enemy, apart from the unit that surrendered to the enemy, a remaining Cambrian army was still putting up a stubborn resistance nearby.

In order to continue fighting, they abandoned all their heavy equipment and retreated to the deep mountains and forests nearby to wage guerrilla warfare.

If Andrei hadn't led the armored forces to liberate Chudovo and the news hadn't spread so quickly, they would probably still be struggling to survive in the wilderness.

Thinking of these soldiers, Andrei couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for them.

In reality, running guerrilla warfare in the forest is not as easy as it is portrayed in some anti-Japanese war dramas. The problem of food and water alone is enough to drive the troops to the brink of collapse.

It was also thanks to the fact that they hadn't been in the forest for long, and that the wild animal resources in the northern forests of the Cambrian Empire were relatively abundant, that they didn't starve to death.

Even so, when they rejoined Andrei's troops, they were already very weak.

Faced with a group of soldiers who were half-starved, whose cavalry had killed more than half of their horses, and who were staggering as they walked, how could Andrei possibly allow them to continue in the next defensive battle?
After they left, Andrei walked out of the headquarters, climbed the ladder back up onto the tank, and sat at the rear of the Pride Fortress, where the shrine was located.

Yelena was already seated there. Upon seeing Andrei arrive, she greeted him and asked:
"How's it going, Andreosha? Have the defense arrangements for the city been finalized?"

Andrei nodded and said:

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem!"

"Both giant cannons were deployed in relatively concealed corners of the city, and with a large number of infantrymen skilled in urban warfare defending them, if the enemy dares to launch an attack on the city, they will inevitably pay a heavy price!"

Immediately afterwards, Andrei patted the seat behind him.

"Our next task is very difficult, because we must divert the attention of the Emperor's Son Titan Legion."

"Otherwise, if those massive steel behemoths break into the city, all our defenses in the city will probably be destroyed!"

Yelena didn't understand these things very well, but she trusted Andrei's judgment.

The fact that Andrei himself was sitting on the tank shows that he must have had enough confidence in his plan.

Otherwise, why would he put himself, a general, in such a dangerous situation?

Yelena was unaware that Andrei actually wasn't entirely confident.

The reason he dared to ride on the Pride Fortress and charge alongside the armored forces was not only because he could be resurrected, but also because he had enough confidence in the P1000 Giant Rat tank.

Nowhere was safe on this battlefield. Although he had deployed two Karl mortars in the city, along with six other 9.2-inch siege guns.

With these cannons, plus the players resolutely guarding the alleys, he could turn this city into a fortress.

However, he still couldn't guarantee that the Titan Legion wouldn't simply sweep through the city. Even with giant cannons like the Karl Mortar with a caliber exceeding 600 millimeters, he didn't think his artillery could handle the Titan Legion.

In contrast, his troops will then use their mobility advantage to launch a flanking attack on the enemy's flank.

Comparing the p1000 giant rat to the enemy's Titan units, one of its biggest advantages is its unbelievable speed.

The Black Hawk Empire's Titans are said to be able to reach off-road speeds of over 20 kilometers per hour in battle, but such speeds are not very sustainable.

If these Titans maintain this speed for an extended period, they are highly likely to experience various mechanical failures.

To put it bluntly, the technology of the walking machine is indeed so advanced that it can create a chassis that can support the Titan mech.

However, the walking machine has not yet transcended the limitations of raw materials and technology itself. When this thing is scaled up to such an extent, its failure rate also begins to rise.

But from another perspective, the fact that the walking machine can be made this big and still function normally is already quite remarkable.

If this technique were given to a shampoo boy during World War II, he would probably be green with envy.

The Arrogance Fortress and the Iron Lords are driving this.

With a deafening roar, the two land battleships sped away into the distance, followed by other tanks and mechs, forming a steel torrent.

This torrent of steel, coupled with the fighting continuation brought by the Spring Goddess Choir, is what Andrei trusted most about his armored forces.

In previous battles, Andrei's tanks were not without hits from the enemy.

Even if the cockpit is penetrated by the enemy, as long as the tank's turret is not blown off and the ammunition depot is not destroyed, the combat continuity function can continue to play a role.

Even with a large hole in their body from a shell, the player still survived thanks to the continuation of combat.

As the repair crew arrived and quickly repaired the tank, the tank, which should have been scrapped, was restored. Even the players inside were restored to normal along with the tank.

From this perspective, Andrei believes that when players enter a tank to drive, their state can perhaps be seen as a special kind of life-binding, with their health bars actually being one.

As Andrei's armored forces began to speed away into the distance, the newly arrived Titan Legion of the Emperor's Son was advancing towards Chudovo.

In addition to the Titan Guard directly under the Titan Legion, an entire mechanized infantry division also followed this force, and there was even a cavalry regiment that had been transferred from somewhere. The size of the entire Black Hawk Army was quite astonishing.

This cavalry regiment was probably the reconnaissance force of the Black Hawk Empire. For some reason, even though they already had armored reconnaissance companies, they still retained a certain number of cavalry.

All of this may be related to the horse administration of the Junker nobles in the Black Hawk Empire, since many Junker nobles made a living by raising horses.

If it weren't for the large-scale purchase of military horses, these Junker nobles would have suffered a significant loss of property, and they would have been resentful.

The Black Hawk cavalry unit, responsible for reconnaissance, easily spotted Andrei's armored force from a great distance.

There was no way to hide them; the two super tanks were just too big.

Two giant tanks, each over ten meters tall, moved forward, and the resulting vibrations could be felt from a great distance, not to mention how conspicuous they were.

If any cavalryman couldn't see such a huge steel behemoth advancing in the distance, then it could only mean that the cavalryman had a serious problem with his eyesight.

This is why the cavalrymen who were scouting in different areas did not encounter Andrei's attack. They spotted the steel behemoth ahead of them before the giant rat tanks could find them, and then ran back to report.

"Good, we've spotted enemy Titan units, but are there only two?"

General Dietrich, the legion commander of the emperor's son's army, asked curiously. After confirming the enemy's numbers, a look of contempt appeared on his face.

"Heh, just two large war chariots, can this really be called the Titan Legion?"

"I have to say, the Cambrian Empire has really run out of tricks by now. Even such a shabby army can be called the Titan Legion!"

As he said this, he glanced back at his Titan Legion, a proud look on his face.

In the Black Hawk Empire, the Titan Legion, the son of the emperor, has always been the most powerful Titan Legion as the First Legion.

The entire Titan Legion was equipped with a total of eight Caesar-class Titans, and some other special mechs that were still in the experimental stage were also given priority to be equipped to this force.

Compared to the Black Skull Titan Legion, their weaponry appears to be far superior.

However, that's not entirely true. The Black Skull Titan Legion originally had six Caesar-class Titans, but one was lost in the initial assault at the start of the war.

In addition, during the previous war, for reasons unknown, they were somehow destroyed by the Cambrian Empire's air force, which resulted in the Black Skull Titan Legion now having only four Caesar-class Titans left.

But it doesn't matter, their emperor's son is still at the peak of his power. They are just two large steel war chariots, which they will surely crush!

"Forward! First, head-on confront the enemy's two armored vehicles. After we take care of those guys, we can slowly push through the city!"

After giving his orders to his soldiers, General Dietrich climbed up the elevator to the lead Titan and then climbed inside.

In addition to being the commander of this Titan Legion, he is also a skilled ace Titan pilot. In a previous battle against the Iris Empire, he personally piloted a Titan and destroyed three enemy Titans.

Just as Andrei's giant rat tanks could not be hidden, the enemy's Titan mechs could not be hidden either.

The cavalry player quickly located the enemy Titan mech's exact position and then guided Andrei's armored forces toward it.

However, during the charge, Andrei specifically shouted to the drivers of the two giant rat tanks:
"Attention! Follow orders from now on. You must flank the enemy Titan Legion!"

"We have a speed advantage. As long as we keep harassing them from the outside, their Titan Legion will inevitably be tied down. If we launch a frontal attack, our chances of winning will be very slim!"

"The Giant Rat Tank is extremely expensive to build, and I don't think you want to waste imperial assets like this, do you?"

Players don't care at all whether the imperial assets will be wasted. What do the Cambrian Empire's assets have to do with them?

However, players are concerned about whether the merit points they spent will be wasted.

Although many of them became wealthy through previous wars, their merits shouldn't be squandered like this.

After giving the order, Andrei glanced at the Iron Lord Titan Legion on the other side and then saw the Holy Son riding behind a tank.

Compared to Andrei, who was simply sitting quietly, the Holy Son was being treated much better.

Facing the choir beside him, the holy son, while enjoying a massage from his bodyguard, tried to request a song from the choir.

Unfortunately, this choir has never practiced any other songs. They have been practicing at Winter Church for so long, learning all sorts of different hymns.

This living saint is also one of Andrei's biggest trump cards, no less important than the giant rat tank.

Although the Living Saint is somewhat ineffective against Titans, when Andre holds off the Titan units, a Living Saint can easily slaughter the minions.

After the previous battles, the resurrected Holy Son did not choose to be reckless, but instead followed Andrei's troops very steadily.

He didn't know whether the Holy Son was truly steady enough, or simply because he thoroughly enjoyed riding in the P1000 giant rat tank.

Anyway, that living saint is now basically staying on the Iron Lord, but Andrei is happy to see it happen.

Otherwise, without a living saint to command the other members of the Church of Winter, these rather arrogant fellows wouldn't be so easily obeyed and wouldn't have kept the choir stationed on the tanks indefinitely.

"Attention! The enemy Titan is at our two o'clock position!"

The living saint, who had flown into the sky, looked into the distance and immediately located the position of the opposing Titan.

To be honest, they haven't developed anything like radar yet; neither side's Titans are equipped with that.

Otherwise, the crew piloting the Titans wouldn't need to rely solely on visual observation, as their Titans are equipped with naval cannons, whose range extends far beyond what the naked eye can perceive.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two giant rat tanks, under Andrei's command, continued to advance at high speed while maintaining their original direction, and launched a fierce artillery barrage into the distance.

The four 380mm cannons roared with earth-shattering fury, and four heavy shells fell into the enemy ranks in the blink of an eye.

A massive explosion shot into the sky. Because it was the first time the player had used this super weapon, he was still a little unfamiliar with it, so this time the shelling seemed to have hit a bit too far.

It seems they overestimated the extent of the shell's descent.

None of the four shells hit any of the enemy Titans, but they did manage to strike the accompanying convoy behind the Titans.

With several loud bangs, the terrifying shockwave immediately overturned a convoy around the explosion, and the overpressure instantly killed all the Black Hawk soldiers in the convoy.

The other Black Hawk soldiers watched this scene in horror, and then looked in the direction from which the shells were coming with horrified expressions.

That was terrifying! The shelling they just experienced felt like it was fired from a battleship!
Indeed, the Cambrian Empire's chariots should be considered Titan units; their firepower is comparable to that of a land battleship!
"Damn it, they spotted us beforehand! Fire back!"

"What are the observers doing? This is a serious dereliction of duty!"

As General Dietrich maneuvered the Titan to quickly change direction, he angrily berated the other Titan crew members over the radio.

Despite his constant chatter, he was completely focused on what lay ahead, sitting on a strange steel throne with an enormous helmet covered in wires.

It was thanks to this mechanical throne that he was able to manipulate the Titan to move flexibly, and even issue orders to the Titan's crew members instantly with a thought.

However, using this mechanical throne also has certain side effects. Besides the fact that it requires extremely high mental talent to bear, using this mechanical throne itself will create a certain degree of dependence.

This is because it allows the pilot to develop a certain synesthetic connection with the Titan.

After leaving the throne, he felt like a terrifying steel monster one second, and then he turned into a fragile human body the next. It was not a pleasant experience.

So much so that some long-term Titan pilots may even become addicted to it, eventually becoming so attached to the throne that they can't get off that they're like stranded fish.

The Black Hawk Empire is currently busy researching solutions to this problem. It is said that a scientist named Sander has proposed an electroshock therapy in the hope of using this method to break the Titan pilots' mechanical addiction.

I don't know how the experiments at the concentration camps are going, but all I can say is that the Black Hawk Empire has plenty of people who can be used for experiments.

It must be said that the Titan Legion, son of the Emperor, launched a very swift counterattack.

Before Andrei's tanks could fire a second shot, several 380mm shells were fired from a distance.

Just like before, the Emperor's Son on the other side was also not very accurate; none of the shells hit the Giant Rat Tank directly.

Unfortunately, the armored forces that Andrei was accompanying on the outskirts also had their tanks blown up on the spot, and one unlucky player's T34 tank was even hit directly by the 380mm cannon!

The scene was so horrific that even the continued fighting couldn't save the tank.

After all, no matter how incredible the combat endurance is, it shouldn't be enough to keep a tank that has been completely destroyed in its upper part fighting.

If you want this thing to work, at least the tank needs to maintain a basic tank shape!

"Don't stop, keep firing! Have our tanks on the outer perimeter release smoke grenades!"

As soon as Andrei finished speaking, a bunch of tanks used smoke grenades, creating a large smoke screen around them.

At the same time, the tank he was riding in, the Pride Fortress, suddenly stopped and began to quickly aim into the distance under the cover of smoke.

Unfortunately, like other ordinary tanks, the P1000 Giant Rat tank cannot accurately hit targets while moving.

To reduce the dispersion of shells, the tank must be stopped.

Tank players who used the smoke screen skill quickly created a large cloud of smoke, but General Dietrich, upon seeing this, merely scoffed contemptuously:
"It's just a futile struggle. Their smokescreen can't keep them in check for long. The Cambrian people, with their outdated magical technology, can only resort to this primitive method to cover their weapons!"

Immediately afterwards, he continued to aim the cannon at the massive figure in the smoke.

The Cambrian Empire's armored vehicles were so large that they were difficult to conceal even in smoke screens.

Because he was far away and too excited, he didn't notice that there was actually only one giant tank slowly emerging from his eyes.

With a loud bang, a .380mm shell slammed into the turret of the giant rat tank, but the shell ricocheted.

The tank's armor was fairly good, and considering the angle of the shell, the shell that hit it slid off the top of the turret and exploded on the side of the tank.

However, the massive explosion caused some damage to the tank's tracks, and at the same time, the terrifying explosion also killed several members of the Winter Church choir behind the tank.

However, because the battle continued, they did not die immediately.

These priests, bleeding from all seven orifices, are joining others in chanting their final battle song, hoping that the blessing of the goddess of winter will increase the accuracy of this giant tank.

As long as the enemy is killed, their deaths will be worthwhile!

Before the Iron Lord could fire first, Andrei's Arrogant Fortress launched a fierce bombardment into the distance.

Two .380mm shells suddenly shot out from the smoke and, after careful aiming, flew precisely toward Caesar Titan.

As the players eagerly awaited their turn, the two cannonballs were about to hit the Caesar-class Titan, but a semi-transparent shield that appeared in front of the Titan caused the two heavy cannonballs to disappear on the spot.

"Damn it! It's that damned Void Shield again!"

(End of this chapter)
