The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 140 This is our steel torrent!

"Are you kidding me? Have all those old men in command gone mad?"

"My God, do they even know what this means? We're dealing with an entire armored corps of the enemy!"

When Andrei told his soldiers the news, everyone was immediately in an uproar.

The players were fine; their eyes gleamed with eagerness, eager to engage in a fierce battle with the approaching enemy armored forces.

But for ordinary soldiers, this news was like the sky falling.

If we draw an analogy, this is roughly equivalent to:

"Very good, you are already an excellent Imperial Guard! So your next opponent will be Abaddon, the great raider who is attacking Cadian!"

Gan!
Andrei frowned slightly after glancing at the soldiers' behavior, but he could understand their fear.

After all, even he himself found the mission absurd, let alone the ordinary soldiers who didn't understand the mysteries of his unit.

In their view, although their unit could be considered one of the Cambrian Empire's elite forces, they were certainly confident in that regard.

But no matter what, sending a regiment to fight an entire army is still a bit too outrageous!

Although Andrei knew they would be terrified by the news, he still didn't try to hide it and told the soldiers in front of him the truth.

Besides himself, the telegraph operator and other officers also knew about this news, and Andrei couldn't guarantee how long they could keep it a secret.

Rather than waiting until the war starts and the news suddenly and inexplicably spreads throughout the army, potentially causing a major incident, Andrei felt it was better to speak out now.

At the very least, it allows his soldiers to prepare themselves mentally in advance, so they won't panic when they actually face a large-scale enemy armored force.

"Enough! Quiet down, everyone listen to me!"

Andrei suddenly shouted, and the soldiers who were arguing immediately fell silent.

As the war has progressed and victory after victory has been achieved, Andrei has built up his own prestige.

Although he believed his command skills were still terrible, he was just playing like an average player risking his life in battle.

However, in the eyes of others, the reason why their troops were able to fight so fiercely was definitely inseparable from Andrei and his personal guards!

Moreover, their commander usually behaved exceptionally well. He showed no signs of being a nobleman's son, never bullied ordinary soldiers, and always led from the front in battle.

Hoping to impress a bunch of ordinary soldiers with their commander's outstanding leadership skills, they were completely oblivious to the fact that the Cambrian Empire's troops were of questionable quality, with an appallingly low literacy rate.

However, ordinary soldiers could tell which officers treated them well and which did not.

For this reason, Andrei treated them fairly well on a regular basis, and coupled with his ability to lead them to victory in battle, they were quite willing to support Andrei.

Seeing everyone fall silent instantly, Andrei nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his presence was still quite impressive.

"Gentlemen, I know what you're worried about, but don't panic, we're not alone!" "Besides our unit, three other divisions will assist us in this battle, and the enemy we're facing also has three divisions. We're not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!"

"Brothers, remember this: only the brave survive on the battlefield. The reason we are fighting the Black Hawk Empire here is to protect our homeland behind us, to protect our fathers and mothers!"

"If we cannot hold out, all the civilians and soldiers in Luga will be surrounded by the enemy, who will inevitably carry out a brutal massacre against them. Only if we hold out can these people be evacuated in time!"

"So no matter what, we must not back down, because the hopes of millions of ordinary people are on our shoulders, and our relatives and friends are still watching us!"

Upon hearing Andrei's words, the soldiers, who had been somewhat agitated, gradually quieted down.

They didn't know if the Black Hawk Empire would come to massacre the city, but since the start of the war, they had already witnessed many scenes of slaughter.

Recalling the mountains of corpses and the enemy's vicious necromancers, a flash of hatred and determination appeared in their eyes.

"Commander, we'll fight with you! Let's defeat the Black Hawk devils together!"

One soldier raised his gun and roared first, followed by the others who echoed his shouts.

Seeing the scene before him, Andrei breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that morale had been temporarily maintained.

As for the morale of the remaining troops, he wasn't really worried.

Humans are social creatures. If someone can take the lead, others will inevitably be willing to fight alongside them. And the player's leadership has always been outstanding.

Once on the battlefield, with such a group of players who fight to the death as the backbone, Andrei believed that the morale of the others should also be maintained, not to mention that he himself had that basic leadership skill.

Thinking about this skill, Andrei couldn't help but feel that he had really gotten a great deal back then.

If it weren't for this blessing, he wouldn't have believed that he could have led his army through so many dangerous battles and held on.

Not all soldiers are made of iron; they also experience fear.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, Andrei then shouted to them:

"Excellent! You truly are the pride of our motherland! In addition, I have some good news to tell you!"

"The command has issued an order that, as a condition for supporting our defense of the factory, we can use all the weapons in the factory, including a batch of the latest weapons produced in the manufacturing plant!"

At this point, Andrei ordered the soldiers behind him to open the factory gates, then pointed to the rows of Saint-Sham tanks inside and said passionately:

"See those? These armored vehicles are the weapons we can use next. The Cambrian Empire has produced a new batch of steel behemoths to fight against the enemy!"

"The enemy has their armored forces, but we also have our own. It's an armored battle, so how could we Cambrians lag behind them?"

"It's time to show them our steel torrent!"
