The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 256 My fiancée is actually the chosen one?

Bang! Rocket headbutt!

The moment Andrei was hit, this skill was the first thing he thought of!
Good heavens, it's all thanks to his body's current semi-player-like state that his resistance to impact has been greatly enhanced; otherwise, he felt like he would have really been hit so hard that acid reflux would have come out!

"Katyusha, you..."

Without making a sound, Andrei took a step back and rubbed his slightly stuffy chest. Only then did he have time to see what his fiancée, who existed only in rumors, actually looked like.

When Andrei saw what his fiancée looked like, his first reaction was, "She's so short!"

The people of the Cambrian Empire are generally tall and strong. Someone like Andrei, who is 1.8 meters tall, is not conspicuous in a crowd; he can only be considered slightly tall.

There are many women who are 1.7 meters tall, and it can even be considered a standard height.

However, the blonde girl who had just rushed over from Andrei was only about 1.5 meters tall. If it weren't for the wide-brimmed hat she was wearing, her head wouldn't even touch Andrei's chin.

At that moment, Andrei inexplicably thought of the phrase "cutest height difference".

"Andryosha, what are you still daydreaming about? You finally get to see me, don't you have anything to say?"

Katyusha looked at Andrei's dazed expression, wondering what he was daydreaming about, and kicked Andrei's shin with a hint of displeasure.

But then, something suddenly occurred to her, and she slapped her forehead, saying:
"Oh, right, what a mess! I forgot you actually lost your memory on the battlefield. Yelena only told me about it not long ago!"

"Sigh, what bad luck. How could you lose your memory just from being hit by a shell? Didn't your talisman work?"

Faced with Katyusha's barrage of questions, Andrei could only manage a wry smile, unsure of what to say in response.

He now doubts whether the amulet worked or not.

After all, he came all the way here!

From this perspective, the original Andrei could be considered to have escaped the battlefield he hated. He might even have ended up in the modern world before his own transmigration, where his soul was swapped. Perhaps he's enjoying a good life on the other side right now!

However, Andrei had long since adapted to his current identity, and he simply shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I did have amnesia. I didn't remember you for a moment after seeing you, but I've remembered quite a few things now!"

"But speaking of which, why haven't you grown taller yet?"

Through fragments of memory, Andrei vaguely recalled some things from the past, such as how he and Katyusha ran to Yelena's monastery to steal apples.

Through these memories, Andrei recalls that Katyusha was already this height many years ago, and she was even taller than him back then!

As a result, Katyusha is still the same height. Does that mean there are height requirements for piloting a Titan?
Upon hearing Andrei's words, Katyusha's face turned red at a visible speed, and she raised her foot to kick Andrei.

But considering the large number of people here, Katyusha forcefully suppressed such an impulse, and only said with slight dissatisfaction:

"Hmph, what? You have a problem with my height?"

"Damn it, shallow men! What's so great about those tall, long-legged, big-breasted women? Can they even pilot Titans? Pshaw!"

Hearing Katyusha say that, Andrei couldn't help but want to laugh.

Based on fragmented memories he vaguely recalled, and what Yelena told him, Katyusha was clearly the oldest of the three of them, already 22 years old and almost 23.

But judging from Katyusha's height and tone of voice, Andrei felt for some reason that she looked more like his little sister, and he found it hard to sense the aura of an older sister.

"Alright, let's talk about catching up later. Let's get down to business first!"

Andrei clapped his hands, signaling to end the current topic, and then said:
"We have just successfully repelled the Titan Legion of the Sons of the Emperor of the Black Hawk Empire, destroying three of their Titans and damaging one. However, they still have four Titans that are fully combat-ready."

"In addition, their accompanying armored forces and an additional mechanized infantry division pose a huge threat to us, and they could launch a counterattack towards Chudovo at any time."

"So Katyusha, how many Titans are there in the Titan Legion you brought this time? Give me a detailed introduction to your legion's situation!"

Hearing Andrei's question, Katyusha also composed herself and pointed to the Titan behind her, saying:

"The Winter's Wrath Titan Legion now only has these four Titans left. At the beginning of the war, we had a total of eight Titans, but the continuous battles have caused us considerable losses!"

“During the previous Titan War, we were in a very difficult situation because of the Black Hawk Empire’s Deflection Shield. Even though we recruited a few mages who were willing to fight for the Empire and had them use the Deflection Shield to cover our Titans, the effect was not very good.”

"For this reason alone, the Empire lost five precious mages, which led to even more cowards being unwilling to continue fighting for the Empire!"

After saying this, Katyusha couldn't help but spit, seemingly showing great disdain for those cowardly mages.

Andrei couldn't help but sigh and say:
"Sigh, to be honest, compared to the Black Hawk Empire next door, our mages are really no good, they can't hold up at all!"

"The mages of the Black Hawk Empire are willing to share their respective lineages and jointly establish a magic academy to train mages in an assembly-line manner, while the mages here are still stuck in the old master-apprentice teaching model."

"More importantly, these mages have no concept of a nation at all; all they think about is protecting themselves!"

This is also one of the reasons why Andrei is very dissatisfied with the Cambrian Empire's mages.

Regardless of the constraints imposed on the battle mages of the Black Hawk Empire, or their mage system, it must be said that their battle mages at least receive basic patriotic education.

Regardless of their reasons for choosing to go to the battlefield, at least they did join the fight and were fighting earnestly for the Black Hawk Empire, even at the cost of mass killings.

In contrast, the mages of the Cambrian Empire all seemed to want to hide, and they were rarely seen on the battlefield.

Andrei didn't believe that the Cambrian Empire was so short of mages. Although the Cambrian Empire didn't have a complete system for training mages, it was still a large empire.

If that's the case, where exactly did those mages go?
Anyway, these guys didn't appear on the battlefield much, and the number of mages appearing on the battlefield was pitifully small!
Just then, Katyusha suddenly patted Andrei's waist and said:

"Andreosha, speaking of which, I should thank you in this regard!"

"Thanks to your soldiers who risked their lives to seize a large airship equipped with a shield system from the enemy, Moscow summoned royal mages for emergency research and successfully cracked the Black Hawk Empire's technology to some extent!"

"We have now also developed an energy core and a device to activate the deflection shield. Although we cannot mass-produce and miniaturize it, at least our Titans are now equipped with the corresponding shields."

As Katyusha spoke, she pointed to a huge iron box on the back of a Titan in the distance, saying to Andrei:

"See that big box? That's the shield generator we made!"

"With this, at least the Cambrian Empire wouldn't have been beaten so badly in the Titan War!"

Andrei nodded; he hadn't actually noticed the large box at first.

The main reason was that he didn't know what the Cambrian Empire's Titans looked like in their normal state, so he naturally assumed that the large box was what they originally carried.

"I see. I thought that after my airship was sent back, they hadn't figured anything out. It seems the Imperial mages are quite fast at researching..."

Andrei muttered to himself unconsciously that he had really thought the airship he sent back had been wasted, serving no purpose other than helping him get promoted.

"By the way, before they developed this shield system, how did the Titan Order plan to deal with enemy shields? They couldn't have ignored this problem, could they?"

Andrei suddenly became curious; he wanted to know if the Titan Order had used any other methods to deal with the shield system before.

It would be great if we could apply those other methods used to deal with enemy shields to our own giant rat tanks as well.

After thinking for a moment, Katyusha said somewhat uncertainly:
"It's hard to say. According to what I've heard, the Titan Order of the Empire seems to be researching a brand new Titan, codenamed Scythe. It's said to be designed specifically for melee combat, allowing it to fight enemy Titans at close range."

"Those idiot designers seem to be planning to take a different approach, letting our Titans charge in and fight them hand-to-hand, thus bypassing the shield's defense!"

Andrei nodded, agreeing with Katyusha's words.

If it were before the Titan battle broke out on his side, he would have thought that attacking the enemy's Titan at close range was a good strategy.

But once the fighting started, Andrei discovered that close combat wasn't as reliable as he had imagined, because they had to withstand multiple rounds of enemy artillery fire before they could even engage in close-quarters combat.

The fact that his two P1000 giant rats were able to break into the enemy ranks and even engage in close-quarters bombardment, causing havoc, was because his team was cheating.

If it weren't for the various buffs provided by the shrine, especially the crucial combat continuation, plus the repair skills possessed by other players' tanks...

It would be virtually impossible for two naked giant rat tanks to drive up there by force.

These two tanks will be destroyed by enemy fire halfway there!
Thinking of this, Andrei quickly said to Katyusha:

"By the way, Katyusha, I think the Empire needs to strengthen cooperation between the Titan Legion and other church-related forces!"

"If we can get the other shrines to bless the Titans, we can definitely gain a greater advantage in the Titan battle! In the previous battle, I fought desperately against the enemy in this way and barely managed to achieve a pyrrhic victory..."

Before Andrei could finish speaking, Katyusha grabbed his hand and pointed to a Titan at the very back, saying:
"We know that. Do you see that improved Thunder Titan?"

"An additional battle platform was built on that Titan, specifically to house the shrine and choir! We've already installed the Church of Winter's mobile shrine on it!"

Wow, so the Cambrian Empire already had this kind of application!

Andrei was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized that it seemed quite normal.

Given that the Cambrian Empire's church has so many amazing uses, how could the Cambrian army have not noticed these random bonuses in the past?
Theoretically speaking, they should have already developed a set of methods for using the power of the church in combat.

As for why the troops that Andrei led before and the various troops he encountered did not see anything like a mobile shrine, nor did they see any other more abstract church-affiliated forces.

Andrei suspected that this could be due to two reasons:
One reason is that most of the troops he had seen before were just scattered defeated soldiers, and even a large number of troops were temporary reinforcements.

Clearly, the Cambrian Empire doesn't value these gray-brown fodder too much. Such unremarkable cannon fodder units aren't worth using powerful weapons like mobile shrines to boost their strength.

Andrei estimated that mobile shrines must be quite precious; if they could be produced so easily, the Cambrian Empire's troops would have one for every soldier long ago.

As for the other reason, he suspected it was because the Cambrian Empire's church was consciously preserving its power and not deploying a large number of armed forces to the battlefield in order to protect itself.

To be honest, the Cambrian Empire is currently in a very disorganized state internally.

A group of nobles with land and real power, like feudal lords, plus various highly independent churches, some even with their own armed forces, and other miscellaneous organizations.

These guys are all talk and no action. To expect them to be united in battle is only possible if there is a truly reliable Tsar, but the Tsar's performance so far has been unreliable.

"...That's right. When our Titan Legion was fighting the Black Hawk Titans, we relied on the buffs from the mobile shrines to fight desperately. Otherwise, we really couldn't have beaten them!"

Katyusha's mood clearly dipped as she spoke.

"I don't know how the Black Hawk Empire developed so powerfully. It feels like they weren't even this strong 20 years ago!"

"Alas, compared to that, our empire is simply unchanging..."

Andrei couldn't help but sigh; he too longed for the Black Hawk Empire's vast array of advanced technologies.

"By the way, who is the commander of the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion? It's been so long, and your commander still hasn't come to hand over command to me?"

Andrei abruptly changed the subject, turning to ask about something else.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Katyusha staring at him with bright, sparkling eyes, pointing excitedly and saying:

"Of course it's me! I'm now the commander of the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion! So if you have any questions, just come to me. I'm in charge of everything in the Titan Legion!"

"Huh...? Katyusha, are you kidding me?"

Andrei opened his mouth in surprise and asked somewhat uncertainly.

He remembered Yelena saying that Katyusha had joined the Titan Order immediately after their engagement ceremony two years ago.

It seems that she became a Titan pilot around that time.

Even if Katyusha is talented enough to pilot a Titan, being a legion commander isn't something that can be achieved simply with talent, right?
Needless to say, what about seniority? Without sufficient seniority, why should people obey your orders? How can you gain the respect of your troops after becoming a legion commander?

Although Andrei wanted to question her, he chose to remain silent when he saw the rank insignia on Katyusha's shoulders.

It's numb! It's really numb!

Andrei now seriously suspects that the one who is truly cheating is actually Katyusha, not himself. It's as if some kind of cosmic will is forcibly giving him a cheat!
Can anyone tell him what the lieutenant general rank on Katyusha's shoulder means?

Good heavens, he fought so many battles with his life on the line, and he's only a major general. He's wanted to be promoted to lieutenant general but hasn't had the chance yet.

But Katyusha joined the Titan Order without a word, and when she came out again, she was already a lieutenant general!

Without a doubt, she is now the commander of the Titan Legion; otherwise, she wouldn't have the rank of lieutenant general!

"See that, huh? Andreosha, see that?"

"From now on, please address me formally as Lieutenant General Kuragin. My current rank is one level higher than yours!"

Katyusha seemed quite pleased with her rank, which was higher than Andrei's, but she quickly continued:
"But don't worry, I won't interfere with how the battle is commanded. Uncle Constantine has already given me the order that the command of the entire battle group is in your hands, and I have now officially joined your battle group!"

"I heard it all in the newspapers. It's been a while since I last saw you. You've been blessed by the Cold-Blooded Lady, slaughtering everyone on the battlefield and making the Black Hawk devils run for their lives!"

Then, Katyusha gestured for Andrei to lower his head slightly, and then whispered in Andrei's ear:
"Andrei, tell me the truth, have you already become the Cold-Blooded Lady's Chosen One?" Andrei shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"It shouldn't be, at least I don't think so. I don't feel like I've been blessed by the Goddess of Winter. On the contrary, it's possible that I've been blessed by the Goddess of Magic."

As he spoke, Andrei condensed a wisp of psionic flame, then extinguished the pink flame in his hand.

Although this psionic flame didn't reveal anything, Katyusha still exclaimed in surprise.

It's not just because Andre's pink flames look girly, but also because in this world with mages, who doesn't dream of creating a giant fireball with their bare hands?
With command in his own hands, and his fiancée Katyusha being the commander of the Titan Legion, Andrei breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help but want to laugh.

This is the best-case scenario; he had been worried about the issue of command.

He wasn't quite sure what the Titan Legion on the Cambrian Empire's side was like, but he knew that the Titan Legion on the Black Hawk Empire seemed to have a great deal of autonomy.

If Andrei were to encounter a domineering Titan Legion commander who liked to prioritize seniority, then he would be in trouble with the next battle. He couldn't very well start a firefight with the friendly Titan Legion first, could he?

"Very well, in that case, the Vorontsov combat group welcomes you!"

Andrei nodded with a sigh of relief, and then led Katyusha toward the headquarters located in the city.

As they walked, he asked, somewhat puzzled:

"But I don't understand, what exactly did you do to become the commander of the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion all at once? I feel that's a bit exaggerated!"

Katyusha shrugged, a somewhat somber expression on her face, and said:

"Sigh, it's all painful to talk about!"

"I was just an ordinary Titan pilot, a lieutenant colonel, nothing special. I can only command the entire Titan crew, no one else."

"As a result, during the Titan War against the Black Skull Titan Legion, our legion commander was killed in action, and the deputy legion commander was killed shortly after. Four out of eight Titans were destroyed."

"When we were withdrawing to Moscow, we thought we could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but then the Night Demons from Altera launched another assassination attempt against us, and three of the remaining four Titan pilots died at once."

As she said this, Katyusha showed a hint of lingering fear.

"It was really dangerous back then. I never imagined that the Son of Night Demon could infiltrate such a remote place. I don't know what those guys in the Special Forces were doing!"

"I was lucky at the time. Because I didn't look like a child, the Night Demon's Son who came to assassinate me mistook me for a child. Otherwise, I probably would have been dead too!"

"In this way, seven out of the eight Titan pilots died, and the remaining three Titans could only be operated by reserve pilots. I suddenly became the most senior."

"In addition, my father also put in some effort behind the scenes, and the Empire has a rule that only Titan pilots can serve as Titan Legion Commanders, so I became a legion commander just like that, and I still feel confused about it!"

Andrei saw that Katyusha's face was very pale and her body was trembling.

After hesitating for a moment, he gently hugged Katyusha.

Although he didn't know the specifics of what happened, just from Katyusha's description, Andrei could imagine how dangerous the situation must have been.

After some questioning, he figured out what the Night Demon's Son was all about; in short, it was a special forces unit of the Alteranians.

Don't these guys have a bunch of skin-changing people?
At the outset of the war, they specifically organized a large number of skin-changing humans who could transform into birds, forming them into a special forces unit, and then infiltrated the Cambrian Empire's rear extensively.

The main mission of this unit is to carry out assassinations by various means, targeting many important members of the Cambrian Empire.

Titan pilots, for example, were definitely on the Nightborne's assassination list. In addition, several other generals also fell victim to assassination attempts.

What Andrei found most unbelievable was that even the Tsar's cousin, a prince of the Empire, had been assassinated. This wave of assassinations was truly brutal.

"Damn it! Looks like I didn't hit the Altranians hard enough when I fought them back then!"

Andrei gritted his teeth, a flash of anger in his eyes, and cursed:

"Don't be afraid, I trust my soldiers will never allow any assassins to infiltrate!"

"When I turn back, I'll lead my armored forces straight into their capital, and then I'll hold a military parade there!"

After being comforted by Andrei, Katyusha felt much better.

To be honest, she didn't think Andrei was bragging at all, because she had already read about Andrei's series of victories in Altera in the newspapers.

If it weren't for the Cambrian Empire's severely depleted military strength, and the fact that defending Petrograd was the most important task for the northern army, Andrei might have actually been able to reach the capital of Altera if he had continued fighting.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Let me explain your general tactical plan!"

After arriving at the command post, Katyusha adjusted her military cap, then pointed to the map ahead and spoke to Andrei.

Andrei gave Katyusha a general overview of his defensive plan, which was divided into two parts.

One part of the strategy was to leave a large number of elite infantrymen in this empty city. To be precise, it was to leave half of the city, which was full of traps, and use this half-city to wage a protracted war and a meat grinder war with the enemy.

Having occupied half the city, the Black Hawk Army would certainly not be willing to give up the prize they had already seized, and would definitely be thinking of taking over the entire Chudovo.

By then, Andrei will be able to give them a full taste of the horrors of urban warfare!

As for Andrei's remaining P1000 giant rat and Titan Legion, their mission was to flank the enemy from outside the city and prevent the enemy's Titans from directly entering the city and pushing forward.

As long as they can contain the enemy's Titan power, they can definitely hold out in this war; everything hinges on the Titans.

To put it bluntly, no matter who it is, if one side's Titan power collapses first, then they definitely can't continue this war.

Since there are no units that can rival the Titan Legion, the enemy's Titans can simply push through the enemy lines.

From this perspective, the real core of this battle lies with the Titans!
"Alright, all things considered, this tactic is quite simple and brutal. Fortunately, there are still some defensive fortifications left over from before in this city, so we can use them to wear down the enemy!"

After listening to Andrei's explanation, Katyusha analyzed it carefully:

"As long as the defenders in the city can hold out, our Titan Legion will be able to give them a good beating!"

"Including your super tank, this war is practically five against four, and the advantage is clearly in my favor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrei quickly covered Katyusha's mouth and said repeatedly:
"No, no, no, please don't say that! I heard that a military strategist once said that with 80 against 60, the advantage was on our side, and then he was utterly defeated and never recovered!"

However, even so, Andrei also felt that Katyusha's words made sense.

After addressing the weakness of shields, Andrei didn't think the Cambrian Empire's Thunder Emperor Titan would be significantly inferior to the Black Hawk Empire's Titan.

According to Katyusha's description, in addition to the various secondary guns mentioned above, the Thunder Titan has a total of two firepower outputs: one is a 305mm howitzer, and the other is a 305mm naval gun.

From this perspective, the 305mm naval gun might have lower penetration, but it would still be enough to severely damage an enemy Titan, not to mention the shockwave damage from a howitzer explosion.

Just like the 152mm howitzer of the Soviet KV-2 during World War II, although its accuracy was not very good, once it hit a Tiger tank directly, even a modern tank would suffer mechanical failure on the spot!

In addition, with our two P1000 giant rats providing flank support, we should be able to take down the enemy's Titan.

Just as Andrei was speaking, a P1000 Giant Rat Tank, which had been recruited by the players, arrived on the battlefield once again.

Andrei didn't know where these guys recruited the tanks from, but he did know that there wasn't a single heavy machinery factory in the city of Chudovo.

However, he couldn't be bothered with these issues. As long as the tank could be in place in time, nothing else mattered.

Over the next two days, Andrei continued to deploy additional troops to defend the city of Chudovo, while also sending a telegram to General Constantine urging him to send reinforcements immediately.

After so many rounds of battles, his battle group has suffered considerable casualties, and many units are no longer complete.

Although compared to other units that suffered heavy casualties, Andrei knew that his unit's casualties were not particularly severe.

But shouldn't warfare be about leveraging the strengths of one's own forces?

Rather than rebuilding units that have been disorganized and completely lost their combat effectiveness, General Constantine would certainly prioritize reinforcing the strongest units on the battlefield.

Only by reinforcing these units can they more effectively resist the Black Hawk Army's offensive.

In addition to various defensive missions, Andrei also dispatched air force units to conduct reconnaissance against the enemy, or rather, to carry out air strikes against the enemy.

Over the past two days, the Black Hawk Army's positions in the surrounding area have been ravaged by Andrei's air force.

Large numbers of Black Hawk helicopter soldiers died mysteriously during air raids, especially nighttime bombings.

Andrei suddenly realized that, compared to the daytime bombing, the players' nighttime bombing was actually the most deadly.

During daytime bombing, the enemy can use various means to block the attack, such as sending airships to intercept or relying on ground-based anti-aircraft fire to launch a counterattack against the player.

However, at night, their anti-aircraft firepower could not see the situation in the sky, and the airships could not take off directly for combat.

In comparison, although players may not see as clearly at night, they can use some reconnaissance skills to mark the surrounding enemies.

As a result, their nighttime bombing was both precise and deadly!

For this reason, Andrei's air force even earned the nickname "Night Witch" within the Black Hawk unit, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he learned of this title.

I don't know how the Black Hawk team came up with such a nickname. This unit is not the Soviet women bombing unit during World War II, so why is it called the Night Witch?

On the morning of the third day, Andrei's air force finally detected the movements of the enemy Titan Legion.

What surprised him was that the Black Hawk Army seemed to have sent more than just the Titan Legion this time.

Besides the Caesar-class Titan that had previously fought against him and was considered a classic example, the Black Hawk Army also had two other super-heavy mech units with completely different designs, but equally massive, that appeared in this force.

One of the mech units appears to be a siege cannon, resembling a walking chimney, while the other looks more like a spindle with numerous mechanical legs.

When he saw the screenshots taken by the player, he was momentarily confused by the enemy's abstract units.

Using his half-baked drawing skills, Andrei managed to sketch a few basic line drawings. He then took the paper and ran up to Katyusha, asking:

"Katyusha, can you help me figure out what these two different mechs are?"

"I've been looking at it for ages, but I still can't figure out what it is!"

Katyusha took Andrei's somewhat crooked drawing, though the general outline of his features was still discernible, and frowned, saying:
"This is not good. The Black Hawk Army has probably received another wave of reinforcements. These two things are the Great Belshall Cannon and the Black Widow Combat Platform!"

"The thing in front, as the name suggests, is a siege cannon with a 420mm caliber, while the thing behind it is something that can continuously produce skull bombs, although its own protection is very weak."

Damn! You call this thing Big Belsa?

Andrei stared in shock at the walking chimney. He looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out how it resembled Big Belsa.

At least compared to the German Bertha from World War I that he remembered, this thing was so different that it was almost ridiculous!
As for the other combat platform, Andrei was more concerned about that.

He had seen the skull bombs from the Black Hawk Empire before; to put it bluntly, these things were early-stage bomb drones!
If the enemy were to use this thing on a large scale against him in urban warfare or in armored vehicle combat, he would probably suffer considerable additional casualties.

After thinking about this, Andrei and Katyusha exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes:

When the enemy arrives, fire a shot at them first and take out these two weapons that are very suitable for siege warfare!

Once they've dealt with these two weapons, they can then consider fighting the Titan war against the enemy. In any case, this Titan war is a must!
However, before that, Andrei decided to have the air force cooperate with his living saint to collect some interest from the enemy before the Titan War broke out!
However, Andrei did not expect that just as he was preparing to launch an air strike against the enemy, two large airship formations of the Black Hawk Empire were also rapidly approaching this area.

Not only is Andrei preparing to deploy his air force to strike the enemy, but the Black Hawk Empire is also ready to send its air force to launch an attack.

To be precise, the Black Hawk Empire planned to rely on air strikes to quickly capture the city, rapidly close the distance to engage in urban warfare, and make Andrei's Titan Legion hesitant to act.

Immediately afterwards, they will use their powerful siege firepower and other Titans to annihilate Andre and the newly arrived Cambrian Titan legion!
When the enemy's two large airships, along with a large number of messy escort airships, arrived near Chudovo, Andrei couldn't help but frown when he looked at the massive aerial fleet in the sky.

"Wait, Katyusha, I have a question!"

"Speaking of which, does our Winter's Wrath Titan Legion have any special anti-air measures? Like those crystals that can fire lasers and instantly shoot down air units?"

Hearing Andrei's question, Katyusha shook her head in a daze, then asked in surprise:
"No way, the Black Hawk Empire's Titans have already developed to this level? They've even come up with such advanced weapons!"

"Our Titans here don't even have many conventional anti-aircraft guns, let alone beam anti-aircraft weapons!"

Upon hearing this, Andrei's brow twitched, and he asked incredulously:
"Wait, what's going on? When the Titan Order designed the Titans, didn't they consider that the enemy might use air power to bomb the Titans?"

Katyusha shook her head, a bitter look on her face.

"Don't ask me that kind of question. I wasn't one of the people who designed the Titan; I just piloted it!"

"Those guys probably thought the Thunder Titan was tough and wouldn't be easily destroyed by enemy bombardment, so each Titan only had two 90mm surface-to-air cannons!"

Damn it, what's the difference between this and a battleship not having anti-aircraft firepower?
Andrei realized once again how unreliable the Cambrian Empire's military industrial design was. He quickly ordered the air force that had just been deployed to change direction and told them not to rush to bomb, but to take care of the enemy's air force first!
Bombing can happen anytime, but if the enemy's air force bombs their Titans first, then the situation will be awkward!

In particular, the Void Shield cannot stop objects that are too slow, so when enemies bomb at low altitudes, their bombs can pass through the shield and hit the Titan directly.
