The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 321 Who said that only second-line troops are blocking the way?
While these players were fighting in this area, some of them who had the Black Hawk skin suddenly came up with this idea.

Under other circumstances, their behavior might have aroused suspicion among the Black Hawk soldiers.

Although the players have no language problems and their uniforms are the same as those of the Black Hawk Army, their daily words, actions, and small details can still easily expose them.

Right now, both sides are busy fighting fiercely. In this chaotic street battle, the Black Hawk Army has been beaten so badly that they have no time to care about anything else.

In this situation, if a soldier suddenly appears who looks like one of their own, they are very likely to instinctively obey orders and charge forward with this person.

As expected, the player's actions immediately attracted a large number of Black Hawk soldiers.

Dozens of Black Hawk soldiers excitedly followed the players and rushed over. As soon as they arrived, they saw that the wall of the building in front of them had indeed been blasted open by explosives, creating a huge gap.

"For the Empire! Attack!"

"Grenades! Use grenades to clear the way!"

Amidst shouts, Black Hawk soldiers threw two long-handled grenades into the building, followed by two loud explosions.

To be honest, while the Black Hawk soldiers' stick grenades can be thrown farther, they are not really suitable for use in urban warfare.

On the one hand, this type of grenade is too large and inconvenient to carry. On the other hand, it has poor bouncy properties and is difficult to bounce and roll on the ground, making it easy for someone to pick it up.

Black Hawk soldiers have already noticed this problem, but they are not able to change the military equipment in the short term, so they are still using these stick grenades.

With two explosions, several Black Hawk soldiers rushed in with submachine guns and began firing wildly into the corridors on both sides.

When the smoke cleared, they found that there seemed to be no enemies in the corridors on both sides.

Strangely enough, the Cambrian army seemed not to have discovered this breach and did not send any soldiers to defend it.

Not only in the corridors on both sides, but as they continued deeper in and searched through the other rooms in this corridor, they still found no enemies.

"No problem, there are no enemy defenses here! Quickly break through from the side of this building!"

After confirming that there were no enemies around, the Black Hawk soldiers were in high spirits.

They quickly ran towards the distant corridor, intending to catch the enemy off guard from that exit and outflank the Cambrian soldiers who were resisting at the other side of the wall.

But they didn't notice at all that behind the two curtains hanging in the corridor, players were already prepared.

"Hehehe, with so many people crammed into one corridor, what are they but sitting ducks?"

Looking at the large number of red dots piled up in the corridor on the minimap, the player sneered excitedly.

On the open ground not far from the exit of this building, an anti-aircraft gun emplacement had been built by the engineer player before, and a bang-bang gun, which is common in Battlefield 1, was set up here.

When the first Black Hawk soldier quickly pushed open the curtain and rushed out, his expression instantly changed from excitement to terror when he saw the anti-aircraft guns already pointed at him.

He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to shout something, but it was too late.

Bang bang bang!
The anti-aircraft gun emitted a very rhythmic thud, and the 37mm shell pierced the Black Hawk soldier's body, then hit several soldiers behind him.

In such a narrow corridor, too many Black Hawk soldiers were lined up in a row, and the 37mm anti-aircraft shells had extremely strong penetrating power.

In an instant, the Black Hawk soldiers who had just been piled up in the corridor suffered heavy losses, and the remaining Black Hawk soldiers quickly hid in the next room, trembling and shrinking in the corner.

However, the walls they were hiding from were not thick load-bearing walls. These horizontal walls were just thin walls used to divide rooms and could not withstand the fierce fire of anti-aircraft guns at all.

As the players quickly turned around, the Black Hawk soldiers hiding in the rooms also suffered heavy casualties. Only the Black Hawk soldiers hiding in the back rooms managed to escape with their lives.

"What the hell is going on?"

The officer, crouching on the ground with his head in his hands, looked in horror at the heavily wounded soldiers in front of him.

He looked angrily behind him, at the messenger who had led them here, wondering which idiot had given the order.
However, just as he was about to question the messenger, he saw the messenger point his submachine gun at him.

"Sorry, you've been tricked. I'm a soldier from the Cambrian Empire!"

As the player finished speaking, his MP18 submachine gun spewed fire, a whole magazine of bullets hitting the soldiers crouching in the corner.

Seeing the enemy soldiers lying in pools of blood, he glanced with satisfaction at the large amount of merit he had gained from directly killing them and assisting in their escape. Then he ran off to continue deceiving people elsewhere.

Other players followed suit, and not only in this place, but in other places, players disguised themselves as Black Hawk soldiers and tricked wave after wave of enemies.

A Black Hawk infantry battalion that was launching an attack lost nearly half of its men in the blink of an eye, without even understanding how they had been killed.

They felt surrounded by enemies, and every now and then a messenger would give them orders, after which the group of soldiers who had run away would disappear.

In the factory before them, they felt that the battle had been chaotic from beginning to end, with no idea where the enemy was or what they were fighting!
When the player, playing as a messenger, reappeared here, a Black Hawk soldier suddenly went berserk, grabbed a submachine gun, and started spraying bullets at him.

The unfortunate player was caught off guard and never expected that the Black Hawk soldier in front of him would see through his disguise. He fell to the ground in astonishment.

The other Black Hawk soldiers were also startled by the crazed guy and quickly pointed their guns at him.

"What's going on? Private, what were you doing just now?"

A sergeant who had just run over looked at the messenger lying on the ground in shock and anger, not understanding why his soldier had suddenly gone mad.

"Sir, that guy is probably a traitor, or he's an enemy in disguise!"

The soldier shouted in terror:
"How many messengers have come over already? These guys always say they'll lead us to break through the enemy lines, but time and time again, not a single one of our troops who charged in came back. They were all tricked and killed by the enemy!"

"There must be some despicable Cambrian people disguised as our soldiers, and they are spreading false information to us!"

The sergeant had doubts about these words.

He had previously felt that there seemed to be something wrong with these messengers, after all, the orders they delivered were increasingly unreliable, and always resulted in the deaths of many soldiers.

But before that, he hadn't really blamed the messenger; he mostly thought the officer behind him was giving orders haphazardly.

He examined the fallen player's body but couldn't find anything amiss.

The player's skins are extremely realistic, even details on the military uniforms and dog tags can be generated. Unless you go to the military base to get the roster and match the names, you can't see any flaws at all.

"Next time you sense something's wrong, arrest that messenger first, don't just fire indiscriminately! What if he really is a comrade-in-arms?"

In the end, the sergeant could only tell his soldiers to be more careful and did not punish him.

The main problem was that the battlefield was too chaotic, and he couldn't even figure out if there were actually enemies who had infiltrated.

If this is true, then that soldier just saved their lives.

Players have also been discovered elsewhere for this reason.

They excitedly impersonated messengers, and had just run over when several Black Hawk soldiers pointed guns at them and interrogated them about the code words used in the camp the previous night.
The player hadn't lived with these Black Hawk soldiers before, so how would they know what the code they used last night was?
After realizing they had been exposed, the players immediately opened fire on the Black Hawk soldiers, which further confirmed to the Black Hawk soldiers that there were many spies infiltrated into their ranks!

Because of the presence of these spies, the Black Hawk soldiers' attack on the factory slowed down considerably.

These soldiers no longer recognize any orders from messengers; they only acknowledge their own superiors.

Unless it's their own squad leader, platoon leader, or company commander giving the order, they would absolutely ignore any unfamiliar face giving the order, and might even detain the person on the spot.

This approach did temporarily curb player misbehavior to some extent, but it also paralyzed the Black Hawk soldiers' command system.

Platoon leaders and company commanders are fine, but when the battalion commander sends someone to make a message, the Black Hawk soldiers often forget who it is and then detain the person sent to make the message, thinking he is a spy.

After a long period of coordination, the battalion commander discovered that his soldiers were like wires had been cut off, and they were not listening to his orders at all!
"Hey, what's going on here?"

When he learned that there were spies on the front lines, who were impersonating his own people and harming his teammates, he was furious and cursed the enemy for being despicable and shameless.

"What do we do? They seem to be on alert, and we can't get the code to work!"

The players were having a bit of a headache. They thought they could use this tactic indefinitely, but the opposing team quickly discovered the flaw.

"It's alright, I summoned a demon and sent this Blue Fear Demon to control someone, then I'll use that person to scam more people!"

Suddenly, a player pointed to the little blue devil that had just appeared next to him while speaking.

Although most of them came here because they had run out of merit points, hoping to quickly gain merit points through the fierce battle.

However, in the previous chaotic battles, some players had already taken advantage of ambushing enemies to quickly accumulate enough capital to rise to power, and then returned to the respawn point to start buying things.

What kind of servo skull? I'll buy one!
What kind of treacherous blue-feared demon is this? I'll buy one!
There are also a bunch of other great things, I'll buy one of them all!
Isn't the point of having merit points to spend them? What's the use of keeping them if you don't spend them?

Unbeknownst to the Black Hawk soldiers, while they were feeding kills in urban warfare due to player sabotage, the Cambrian soldiers on the other side were rapidly expanding their armament.

In the factory here, although there are some ordinary Cambrian soldiers, most of them have been deployed to the second line by the player.

There was no other way; the Cambrian soldiers left behind by Andrei were mostly green recruits who weren't very good at fighting, or veterans who had been injured in previous battles.

Their combat effectiveness is not very strong, and many soldiers have suffered from various aftereffects due to the previous war; otherwise, they wouldn't have been assigned here.

So players simply put them in the second line, while the most intense battlegrounds are where players are the main force.

The ordinary Cambrian soldiers were unaware that their teammates had unknowingly begun summoning demons to fight.

The Black Hawk soldiers were equally surprised that the other side would use demons to cause trouble!
A squad leader carefully led the other Black Hawk soldiers along the corner of the wall, while trying to use their ears to determine the location of nearby enemies by listening to the gunshots and shouts.

To be honest, his current judgment is a bit difficult.

Because the surrounding battlefield was too chaotic, and the players' commotion was too great.

All sorts of random automatic weapons were firing at each other, their sounds all mingling together, with occasional loud bangs from grenades or other explosive weapons.

Determining the enemy's exact situation is difficult even for Black Hawk soldiers, especially since the players use a wide variety of weapons, almost every type.

Just as the squad leader was about to order a retreat so that the soldiers could go around from another direction, suddenly, the treacherous blue demon hidden in the corner on the other side began to use psychic magic to disturb his mind.

From the beginning, the squad leader only felt that he could hear voices in his ears. He thought it was just a hallucination caused by the chaotic gunfire.

But as the voices grew louder and more frequent, he felt his head spinning.

What he originally intended to be a retreat order turned into an order to continue advancing without him even realizing it.

The next moment, he took the initiative to walk out from this corner and then quickly ran towards the other corner.

"Don't move, don't fire! Let them through right now!"

"If you fire now, all our efforts will be wasted. Please don't fire!"

Seeing that the enemy squad leader had finally taken the bait, the player who sent the demon out to lure the enemy quickly reminded his teammates, fearing that one of them might be the one to make a tactless move!

Since none of his teammates fired, the Black Hawk squad leader managed to run to the other corner of the wall and began waving to the other soldiers, signaling them to come over.

"Thank goodness, the squad leader is alright!"

Seeing their squad leader lead the way and run over without any problems, the other Black Hawk soldiers didn't hesitate any longer and ran over as well.

Just as the group of ten had all reached the gap between the two buildings, the players who had been lying in ambush there opened fire.

The light machine guns, mounted among the bricks and stones, spat deadly flames at the Black Hawk soldiers, and one after another, they fell screaming in agony.

The remaining Black Hawk soldiers were about to retreat when two players with semi-automatic rifles took turns firing, knocking them down one by one, as if they were being called out by name.

It was only then that the class monitor finally came to his senses.

He huddled in the corner, his eyes bloodshot as he watched his teammates rush out one by one, only to fall one after another.

"Do not--!"

He let out a desperate cry, trying to stop the others from rushing out, but his comrades had already rushed out, and it was not so easy to retreat.
As the last Black Hawk soldier fell, he felt a chill run down his spine and his mind went blank.

He didn't know what was going on with him. He clearly wanted to give the order to flank, so why did it suddenly turn into continuing to advance?
Recalling the voice that had appeared in his mind earlier, he couldn't help but wonder if he had been controlled by some evil magic of the enemy.
Just as he was thinking this, some players rushed over.

Under normal circumstances, this squad leader could definitely take down an enemy who was brazenly charging in from the corner.

However, because he was in a daze at the moment, he didn't realize that an enemy was coming until the player jumped out from the corner of the wall.

chug chug!
He had barely raised his gun when the player's gun was already spitting fire.

A series of bullets struck his chest and abdomen, causing him to fall straight down.

Even on his deathbed, he didn't understand why he had given such a foolish order.

"Quick, guys, we need your help!"

Outside the factory, Black Hawk soldiers shouted to the Melt Troopers who were charging forward after putting away their weapons, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

They were fed up with being constantly suppressed by the enemy, and even more fed up with the inexplicable enemies always appearing around them.

They were immediately excited when they saw their teammates arrive.

A mage overheard the chatter of the other soldiers and roughly understood the situation.

He closed his eyes, sensed the flow of magic around him, and instantly discovered that a demon was hiding in the shadows!
"Damn it! We have an Abyss Mage on the other side! The enemy has summoned demons to help them, no wonder they were able to bewitch our minds!"

As he spoke, the abyss mage casually unleashed a hellish ray.

A powerful green beam of light pierced through the brickwork in the corner of the wall and slammed into the demon. Having used its once-daily mind control spell, the Blue Fear Demon had originally intended to throw a few more fireballs to finish off the others.

But the sudden spell caused the demon to let out a distorted scream.

Despite the demon possessing a magical barrier unique to the Tzeentch faction, this barrier only allowed it to live for half a second longer.

The next moment, His body was pierced by the scorching rays, and the entire demon turned into a ball of flame, returning to the warp.

"Ah! My devil!"

Upon seeing this, the player who had just summoned the demon couldn't help but let out a desperate scream.

Don't you know these demons are very expensive? One demon is worth twice his resurrection!
The player angrily shouted that he wanted to avenge his demon, but his companion grabbed him and ran away with him.

The reason was simple: a green magic circle suddenly appeared above their heads, and two seconds later, the magic circle began to pour large amounts of green fireballs onto the ground.

A rain of sulfurous fire fell from the sky, engulfing the players' shelters and forcing them all to come out.

The hellfire, with its terrifying destructive power, melted everything around it at an astonishing speed. Players who couldn't escape in time were instantly killed by it.

"Hurry! Attack!"

Seeing that the mage had successfully suppressed the enemy and forced them to leave their cover, the other Black Hawk soldiers immediately rushed out and began a gunfight with the opposing players.

But the scene was very awkward.

Even after the enemy escaped from their cover and continued to retreat, their shooting remained accurate and deadly, and their firepower was extremely abundant.

As soon as they rushed out, several Black Hawk soldiers who wanted to exchange fire with the enemy all fell down with screams. The remaining Black Hawk soldiers also pulled their heads back again, afraid that they might be hit by the deafening machine gun fire.

"The enemy's firepower is too fierce. Who said that only a small number of second-line troops were left to defend this place, and that there were no main forces at all?"

One of the Black Hawk soldiers, hiding in a bunker, couldn't help but complain to his comrades.

Upon hearing this, his companion next to him burst out laughing.

"Hehe, just listen to what the intelligence says, but if you believe it all, you're just a fool!"

"Back when we launched our attack, we boasted that we could flatten the Cambrian Empire in three months! How much time has passed now? And we're still stuck outside Petrograd!"

The Abyss Mage frowned, then cast a Detective Eye spell.

He glanced at the other side with his Eye of Exploration and almost spat out a mouthful of soda.

He was just wondering where this sudden machine gun fire came from, since he had already destroyed the bunker.

But when he saw the machine gun sentry clad in heavy armor, wielding a water-cooled heavy machine gun and firing continuously, he realized that he had ultimately underestimated these Cambrian superhumans.

Good heavens, no wonder even though he had already burned the other side to the ground, the machine gun fire support from there hadn't stopped.

In the face of such a Cambrian superhuman, whether or not there is a machine gun emplacement seems to be of little concern!

He tried to continue burning that area with sulfur rain, but the spell's wind-up was so long that players would run away as soon as they saw the magic circle appear above their heads.

As for the other type of ray spell, while it can indeed burn through corners of walls, it's not enough to burn through an entire building.

Facing a player who was almost a building away from him, he really couldn't get a chance to burn them.

Oh no, this is terrible!
They do seem to be truly trapped here now, and even with me, the mage, it will be difficult for them to break through!

As for the magic squad on the other side...

Their thermal weapons successfully burned through the enemy walls, allowing them to rush in and engage in fierce combat with the enemies inside the house. However, even with their magical weapons, the effect was not very good against the enemy forces hiding in various corners of the house.

Thermometallurgical weapons can indeed burn through walls, but they consume a lot of energy, and if you're not careful, you might accidentally injure yourself or your teammates. It's impossible to keep burning them indefinitely.

For players with a minimap, they can see where the enemy is hiding and their movements even through walls.

Some players set up an AT gun behind the wall and fired it at the enemies outside, using this almost cheating method to actually shoot through the wall and kill the enemies outside.

Even on their deathbeds, the Black Hawk soldiers who rushed in couldn't believe that Cambrian soldiers would actually set up small-caliber artillery for indoor combat!

"Hurry up and bring the mortar over!"

"Just bombard it with mortars. Where are our mortars located?"

One of the Black Hawk soldiers suddenly thought of the rear; theoretically, the mortar crews should have already broken through.

As long as the mortars are set up, they can keep bombarding the enemy and eventually blast a path through!

Thinking this, the Black Hawk soldier looked back and then discovered that the mortars following behind him had exploded.

That's right, it literally exploded, because the players' mortars bombarded them first.

These unfortunate souls barely managed to withstand the constant bombardment from the player's fortress cannons and managed to break through, only to find that the player had already set up 120mm mortars behind them.

This 120mm mortar is actually not suitable for close-quarters urban warfare because its minimum range is a bit too far, and it can't hit the enemy right in front of it.

However, if this thing is used to suppress enemy troops rushing up from the rear and to exchange fire with enemy mortars, it's like a dimensional reduction attack.

Because of these 120mm mortars, several Black Hawk Army armored vehicles tried to drive in, but were blown up by these things.

The burning wreckage of armored vehicles blocking their way not only made the Black Hawk infantry's attack more difficult, but also blocked their other mechs.

The situation seemed to be getting worse and worse. The Black Hawk soldiers launched several attacks in succession, but they couldn't find any way to break through.

In the end, the commander at the rear could no longer bear to see his soldiers being trapped there and dying one after another, being ravaged by the enemy's various weapons.

Despite the difficulty, he ultimately chose to issue the order to retreat, abandoning the attack.

Upon hearing the order to retreat, the remaining shadowy soldiers, who were still fighting, felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly withdrew from the chaotic factory like a tide.

They never dreamed of experiencing such a war again. The enemy was like a ghost, appearing from all directions, and they had no idea where the enemy would suddenly launch an attack.

They were absolutely certain that the Cambrian soldiers guarding this place were not the so-called second-line troops; they were definitely the elite of the elite!

Otherwise, why would elite Black Hawk soldiers be beaten so badly in urban warfare?
Why are these soldiers equipped with so many automatic weapons, as well as various types and sizes of artillery?
In their chaotic retreat, the Black Hawk soldiers seemed unaware that some players, disguised as soldiers, had infiltrated their ranks.

There was no way around it; just like during an attack, the Black Hawk soldiers were quickly divided and disrupted by the player.

During the retreat, facing fire from all directions, these Black Hawk soldiers had no time to distinguish who was who.
Everyone was wearing the same military uniform, covered in dust and dirt from the artillery fire, so much so that two pounds of dirt could be shaken off their bodies.

In addition, the Black Hawk Army's organization had been almost completely disrupted, with soldiers from different units mixed together, and everyone was a stranger, making it even more difficult to distinguish the players hidden among them.

"Wait, we can't just retreat like this!"

Suddenly, one of the Black Hawk officers seemed to have thought of something, and he hurriedly shouted to the retreating soldiers:

"There may be enemy spies infiltrating our ranks. They seem to have a special unit disguised as us, constantly infiltrating our forces!"

"Quickly, we need to re-verify the soldiers' identities. We absolutely cannot allow enemy spies to infiltrate our ranks!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he was punched in the stomach by some soldier in the chaotic crowd, and he fell to his knees in pain.

Having come this far, why would they care about the issue of spies anymore?

The mortars behind continued to bombard, and the enemy seemed to be trying to catch up. They even saw armored vehicles rushing out of the ruins, breaking through the wall, and firing machine guns at the soldiers at the back!
At this point, they're still considering the issue of spies?
It's impossible for all of them to stay in place, count off, and then go through the slogans one by one before they can retreat in an orderly manner, right?
There was no other way; at times like this, the soldiers acted as if they had gone mad.

They only wanted to escape this hellish battlefield as quickly as possible and had no intention of causing any other trouble.

Anyone who dares to stop their retreat will not only be ignored by the soldiers, but may even be shot in the back!
In this way, a group of players infiltrated the enemy ranks without incident and quickly retreated back to their rear lines.

After all that trouble, the Black Hawk Army can forget about launching another attack today. Their soldiers are exhausted and their morale is severely low.

It wasn't just this one factory; the Black Hawk soldiers responsible for launching attacks on several other factories also encountered similar setbacks.

The army group, which was breaking out, seemed to have launched a fierce attack, but in the end they failed to capture any factories, as they were all blocked by the player.

The troops that were withdrawn did not have time to quickly reorganize, and instead ran around in a chaotic manner, with many soldiers inexplicably mixing into other units.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the player quickly penetrated deeper into the enemy ranks and soon blended into the large number of Black Hawk soldiers, becoming completely invisible.

Back home, General Graham, who was still waiting for good news, once again learned of the defeat at the front.

Compared to his previous outburst of rage, he was much calmer this time, though his expression grew increasingly terrified.

"No, this shouldn't be the case. How could my army group be unable to break through Vorontsov's defenses?"

General Graham paced anxiously back and forth in the command post.

He kept thinking about it, but he just couldn't figure it out.

In his view, although his army group had lost a lot of armored forces, and due to changes in strategic plans, he had also transferred a large number of armored units back to the Central Army, resulting in a severe shortage of armored forces at his disposal.

Even so, he was merely attacking Andrei's rear, which was almost completely undefended, in an empty area.

He was certain that his soldiers had launched almost the fiercest offensive they could muster, but even so, they still failed.

This speaks volumes. It shows that the defending forces in front of them are not the scattered soldiers who were withdrawn from the front lines as imagined, nor are they just greenhorns who were temporarily mobilized.

Contrary to what the intelligence reports said, the force blocking their way was definitely an elite unit under Andrei's command!
"Wait a minute, something's not right!"

Suddenly, Admiral Graham realized an extremely awkward problem:

If the troops that Andrei left behind to defend the rear were one of his elite forces, then what about the troops he was currently attacking?
You have to understand, the reason he was forced into this situation was because all the defenses he had set up were easily breached by the enemy.

If his defenses were effective and the enemy couldn't break through, he would have stayed in the pre-set defensive perimeter to block the enemy, instead of being like a stray dog ​​now.

Upon realizing this, Admiral Graham's expression turned extremely horrified.

It's impossible that all of Andrei's soldiers were elite, and that he didn't have a single second-line unit.

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible. If he had so many elite troops, why wouldn't he just expand them into an even larger force?"

General Graeme shook his head repeatedly at the thought of Andrei's meager army.

Clearly, he still doesn't know that the reason Andrei hasn't expanded his army group is simply because the Tsar isn't cooperating and hasn't been sending him any extra troops!

If more troops could be continuously transferred to his hands from the rear, he would have expanded his own forces long ago!

Even now, he is only a lieutenant general with the strength of only one army, yet he is given the title of commander of an army group. Is this reasonable?

Admiral Graham was still busy thinking, trying to find a weakness in the enemy.

He suddenly had an urge to lead his troops to clash with the forces that Andrei was currently attacking, and to see how good his troops were.

However, this foolish idea only flashed through his mind for a moment before he quickly dismissed it.

Since Andrei was able to break through his defenses so quickly, it means that the attacking force is definitely top-notch.

Moreover, his most lethal Titan Legion was also in this force.

If he were to retreat now, the only outcome would be that his exhausted and heavily damaged army would encounter the rampaging Titan Legion on the plains!
That will be a real disaster!
Therefore, his only way out, or rather, his only way to survive, seems to be to continue launching attacks in the direction of Volkhov.

Otherwise, he would be completely surrounded, and at that time, he would become the first army group of the Black Hawk Empire to be annihilated!
The thought of this possibility filled General Graeme with despair, for he would never allow himself to suffer such humiliation, nor would the Junker nobles of the Empire.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard what sounded like a commotion in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, several artillery shells rang out, and some shells actually hit the vicinity of his command post, exploding with a loud bang not far from him!
"Guards, what's going on?"

"Guard regiment! Guard regiment, assemble immediately!"

It's unbelievable, how did the enemy sneak into his command post so silently?
As darkness fell and he could no longer see the distant scenery, Admiral Graham grew increasingly fearful.

He didn't know what this Cambrian army that was shelling his command post was all about. If these guys were just a small infiltrated force, then everything would be fine.

But if it were a large enemy force that had silently crept in, then the scene would be truly terrifying!

The loud explosion earlier had thrown his guard regiment into a panic, as they determined that it was definitely a 120mm heavy artillery piece!
The thought that enemy heavy artillery was hidden somewhere and was launching a fierce bombardment on their command post filled them with panic.

Some guards tried to rush out, and even two Dreadnought mechs responsible for guarding the area ran outside, but in the blink of an eye, the guards who rushed out were killed.

The enemy has hidden, precise snipers!
It's unclear how the other party managed to see clearly in the darkening sky, but such precise marksmanship definitely indicates the presence of a hidden, highly skilled marksman!
The Fearless mech fired a shot outside first, then began to sweep fire across the streets of the town that served as the command center.

The two mechs dared not stray too far from the command post, fearing that enemy armored units might suddenly attack.

However, the armored units they were worried about did not appear; instead, rockets were launched.

Hidden in the shadows, the players used bazookas to fire two powerful shots at the Fearless mech that had just charged out.

Although the bazooka has weak penetration and relatively low damage, it is still more than enough to penetrate the Dauntless mech.

With two loud bangs, the two Dauntless mechs crashed to the ground, instantly turning into burning wreckage.

Only then did the Black Hawk soldiers roughly determine where the enemy was hiding by the direction from which the rockets were fired.

(End of this chapter)
