The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 188 What the heck? Queen Victoria's mechanical ascension!

"This, is this the living saint? He doesn't seem quite the same as I imagined..."

Looking at the unremarkable little old lady sitting on the sled, Andrei couldn't help but think to himself.

It must be said that the image of this living saint in front of me is quite different from the image of the living saint I had initially imagined.

When he witnessed the living saint's powerful ability to instantly create an extreme winter and change the weather in a moment, his thoughts unconsciously turned to the Ice Witch of Kislev.

Furthermore, given that the Cambrian Empire he belonged to seemed to be originally Russian, the image of the living saint in Andrei's mind quickly transformed into that of Empress Katerin Kisliv.

But when he saw the nun riding in a luxurious sleigh, whose appearance was merely that of an old woman, he had to admit that the difference in appearance was quite striking.

Although their appearances are quite different, it must be said that the living saint's combat power is indeed formidable. After meeting the living saint, Andrei seemed to understand why the Cambrian Empire had not vigorously developed its military technology.

I wonder if living saints can be mass-produced. If they can, then there's no point in developing military technology; we might as well just invest all our resources in cultivating living saints.

If we could produce more living saints, then the army would naturally be invincible, and no army could withstand such a natural disaster!
At that moment, Andrei truly formed the concept that a living saint was practically the embodiment of invincibility. However, he was unaware that since the outbreak of the war, the Cambrian Empire had lost more than one living saint.

The Black Hawk Empire isn't stupid. Since they know that the Cambrian Empire has such a monstrous existence, they will naturally try to find ways to contain it.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the war, the Black Hawk Empire's magic academy had already trained a large number of war mage teams, specifically to practice how to coordinate their efforts to hunt down living saints.

As long as a mage can restrict the living saint's large-scale ice and snow and control some of his abilities, then even the living saint will be killed on the spot under the barrage of artillery fire!
After dealing with the enemies before her, the living saint Sophia made a special trip to Andrei and took a look at this "young talent" who had suddenly risen to prominence.

"Young man, you're quite good. The Cambrian Empire needs talents like you!"

"The Empire will not let down any loyal warrior. Everything you have done has been seen by the cold-blooded lady, and she will reward you!"

After saying this, before Andrei could say anything, the old woman left alone on a sled.

Although the old woman looked frail, her abilities were truly remarkable; in the blink of an eye, she had constructed a road made of ice and snow right before her eyes.

In front of her sled, six reindeer made of ice ran together at an incredible speed, quickly carrying the seemingly heavy and ornate sled into the distance.

This road made of ice and snow came quickly, but it disappeared just as fast; the melting speed seemed to be beyond imagination.

Just a few minutes later, the icy road that had just appeared in front of Andrei had already begun to melt, and it would probably be gone in less than an hour.

It's unclear whether it was because Sister Sophia wasn't interested in maintaining this path, or if there were some limitations to her abilities that prevented her from maintaining it for an extended period.

It's a pity that this road could have been maintained for a long time.

When the time comes, if we let the living saint transform into a road-building machine, wouldn't the Cambrian Empire's terrible road conditions be solved in an instant?
"By the way, Yelena, I have a few questions for you. How many living saints does the Cambrian Empire actually have? And how exactly are these living saints born?"

After giving instructions to the troops and having them rest and prepare for the upcoming counter-offensive, Andrei went to the field hospital in the rear.

Seeing that Yelena seemed to have finished a round of treatment, he quickly asked the questions that had been on his mind.

Yelena, who was slumped unceremoniously in a chair, slightly raised her head upon hearing Andrei's words.

"Not many. The number of living saints in the empire is very small. I don't know the exact number, but the total number is no more than 20. Moreover, even now, the Cambrian Empire has not figured out how living saints are born."

As she said this, a hint of longing flashed in Yelena's eyes.

"All I know is that every living saint born is a monk or nun of the Church, and they must have a devout faith in their God in order to receive God's blessing."

"No one has figured out what the commonalities are in the blessings of the gods. It seems that we can only place our hopes on devout faith. However, even though the empire has so many devout monks, it still hasn't been able to increase the number of living saints."

Andrei nodded. Judging from Yelena's words, he felt that the living saint seemed more like the chosen one of God.
If we take the famous Chosen Ones from the Warhammer world as an example, then these Chosen Ones don't seem to have much in common.

Some chosen ones need to complete specific rituals to be chosen, but for others, it's purely a matter of the gods' mood; you never know how you might please the gods and be chosen for no apparent reason.

"By the way, Yelena, speaking of which, your healing abilities... seem to be a blessing from the Goddess of Spring, right?"

"I'm curious, would you be considered a living saint? After all, your ability to save people is already quite remarkable!"

Hearing Andrei's words, Yelena blushed slightly and quickly waved her hand, saying:
"Andreosha, you're overthinking it. How could I be considered a living saint?"

"People like me aren't particularly numerous in the Cambrian Empire, but there are definitely far more of us than living saints. At best, I'm just someone who happened to be favored by Shen Ling, so I can barely be considered a chosen one of the gods, right?"

Andrei blinked. It seemed that one had to reach a certain level of strength to be considered a living saint.

At least someone like Yelena, aside from having decent healing abilities, doesn't seem to have any other strengths and doesn't seem to meet the standard of a living saint.

Of course, according to Andrei's impression of the Church's standards, someone like Yelena, who could heal people's injuries simply by gathering light in her hands, would surely be canonized as a living saint or something.

After all, this is a genuine miracle!

"Well, it seems the gods of this world really do work miracles, to the point that they don't seem so valuable anymore..."

Andrei muttered to himself, a subtle light flickering in his eyes.

To be honest, although gods who can actually manifest are quite useful, he doesn't really like that kind of god.

Mortals should remain mortals, and gods should remain gods; this is the ideal state.

If gods are always capable of performing miracles, then is human will ultimately guided by the gods or by ourselves?

Yelena listened to Andrei's mutterings to himself and was somewhat confused.

A god must perform miracles to be considered a god!

If no miracles can be performed, what kind of god is that? They are just a fabricated false god!

She couldn't understand what was going on with Andrei's strange idea.

Perhaps it was because Andrei's brain was shaken earlier, causing many things in his mind to become somewhat disordered!
"By the way, Yelena, how long do these living saints live? After receiving blessings from the gods, can they live forever?"

Suddenly, Andrei thought of another question.

I wonder if the gods here can grant people immortality. If they can, wouldn't the emperor have to worship the gods all day long?
"No, human lifespan is ultimately limited; who can live forever?"

"This is the law of nature, and even gods cannot make people defy it... Wait, I think I've really thought of an immortal person!"

Yelena shook her head, knowing that Andrei had amnesia and was therefore unaware of even such common sense.

But as she was talking, she seemed to suddenly think of an exception.

"No way, are there really immortal people in this world? How long have they lived?"

Andrei was slightly surprised. He had only asked casually before, but he did not expect that there really was a way to prolong human life.
Qin Shi Huang, you were born at the wrong time!

"If I remember correctly, Queen Victoria of the Wuxiao Empire has lived for 122 years. Although she abdicated decades ago and there has been no news of her since, she does seem to be still alive!"

122 years old, that's incredibly long-lived! Could that be a Guinness World Record?

Wait a minute, Queen Victoria?

Andre blinked. He wasn't quite sure what year it was. According to his knowledge of history, Queen Victoria should have died in 1901.

At that time, Queen Victoria was said to have lived to be 82 years old, which was considered a long life. But how many more years has she actually lived?

"122 years old, that's indeed a very long life, but it's not exactly immortal, is it? I feel that under special circumstances, a person could live that long!"

Andrei asked with a curious look, not understanding what Yelena meant by immortality.

"No, you don't understand. Queen Victoria didn't live this long through normal means!"

"I remember that decades ago, she used some unimaginable technology to create a huge throne, then connected her body to the throne and relied on the power of that throne to continue living!"

"I don't know what power that throne has. I only know that it is said to be enormous, with one throne occupying the entire area of ​​a palace."

"Queen Victoria, sitting on the throne, stripped herself of all human emotions, and in return, she gained the ability to never make a mistake!"

What kind of outrageous thing is this? It sounds like it's undergone mechanical ascension, transforming into a humanoid computer.

Andrei was a bit confused, not understanding what kind of Queen Victoria this world was.

Good heavens, did they even build a golden throne?
"So... this method seems to be unrepeatable, right?"

"I think if it could be replicated, many other monarchs would want to use this method to obtain immortality!"

Yelena nodded in response to Andrei's words.

"Probably. Although I don't know much about it, I've never heard of any other king being able to replicate this technology. The Undying Throne of the Nightless Empire must have some great secret!"

"I've heard a theory before that the throne of the sun never sets wasn't made using industrial methods, but rather using some forbidden magic. I don't know if it's true or not."

After exchanging a few words, Yelena glanced at the completely melted icy road and asked Andrei curiously:

"By the way, do you, as the leader, know where Saint Sophia has gone? Will she ever come back?"

"I don't know, she didn't tell me!"

Andrei shook his head, a wry smile on his face.

He is the decisive weapon of the Cambrian Empire, a famous living saint, while I am just a minor regimental commander.

How could someone like him possibly tell him everything he does?

It's already quite impressive that someone was willing to exchange a few words with him. Didn't you see how the other officers looked at him with envy after Saint Sophia left, as if they had gotten some huge advantage?

Despite this thought, Andrei did not consider himself inferior to Saint Sophia.

That living saint's abilities are indeed very powerful; he can wipe out an army with ice and snow in the blink of an eye. But his ability to summon players has no greater potential than that of the living saint.

Once his rank is high enough and he has enough players, he will show the Black Hawk Empire what a terrifying Cursed Legion is!

"Sigh, that's true. The living saint has his own affairs and such a long battlefront. It's already quite good that he can help us resolve the current crisis. He can't stay here to fight forever."

Yelena sighed. Although she said that, she clearly still hoped that the living saint could stay here.

It's unclear whether it was because the living saint held a very high position in the church and was of great significance to a nun like her, or whether Yelena was simply lamenting that Andrei's army couldn't get such assistance.
"Yelena, I suddenly have another question!"

Just then, Andrei's eyes lit up, and he asked with some doubt:
"Speaking of which, since our living saint is so powerful, why don't we just send him directly to the enemy's territory?"

"No matter what, there is only one living saint. Targets like them should be very inconspicuous as long as they are disguised a little."

"If we can get them to infiltrate enemy territory and wreak havoc, wouldn't that directly halt the Black Hawk Empire's offensive and force them to negotiate with us?"

In Andrei's view, what is the most powerful aspect of a living saint?
It's not just this extraordinary fighting ability; most importantly, this extraordinary fighting ability is concentrated in one person.

This is practically a walking, human-shaped natural disaster, a walking nuclear weapon!

If such a person were allowed to run into enemy territory and cause chaos, as long as he was a little careful, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

If a living saint were to attempt to assassinate the Black Hawk Empire's emperor or attack a crucial factory in the Black Hawk Empire's rear, they would certainly be unable to tolerate it.

"Unfortunately, your idea is completely unfeasible, because for a living saint to act, he must be surrounded by faith!"

“Every battle that the living saint fought was actually a mobilization of the faith power gathered in the surrounding churches. If there were no churches around, and no faith power to be mobilized, then they would just be ordinary monks.”

As Yelena explained, she touched Andrei's forehead, seemingly lamenting that Andrei had completely gone mad.

"The Black Hawk Empire has always been wary of the Cambrian Empire's living saint. In addition, they have implemented strict religious control within their own country. Apart from their emperor, the Black Hawk Empire rejects any form of faith, and violators will be severely punished!"

"So it's not just us; any powerful fighting force supported by faith will become just ordinary people in the Black Hawk Empire, even if we've tried our best to spread our faith..."

At this point, Yelena sighed heavily again, seemingly lamenting the Black Hawk Empire's lack of faith.

Andrei silently kept this limitation of the living saint in mind. His colleague was also wondering if he could disable the living saint by destroying the church if he were to encounter him in the future.

Although the living saint is indeed on his side now, Andrei has always liked to plan ahead.

Moreover, Yelena said that it seems that the Cambrian Empire is not the only country in the world with living saints. If we encounter living saints from other countries in the future and face them as opponents, we can't just surrender directly, can we?

After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Andrei bid farewell to Yelena.

He still had to organize a counterattack, prepare to recapture the lost bridge, and take stock of the casualties of his troops.

You don't know until you've been a regimental commander, but once you actually became the commander of an independent regiment, Andrei realized that there was a lot to do!

Even so, he still pushed a lot of the work onto the old chief of staff. Otherwise, if he had to do those tasks as well, he felt he would have been worked to death.

Watching Andrei's departing figure, Yelena couldn't help but purse her lips.

All men are big hams, and Andrei was the same no matter when!
This guy is really something. He only thinks to come to the back and ask me questions when he has a problem, and then he leaves right after asking his questions.

However, she also knew that Andrei, as the commander, had a lot of things to do, so Yelena didn't say anything, though she felt a little resentful.

Just as he returned to the regimental command post, Andrei received a message from the rear.

Sure enough, in the ensuing battles, his unit would serve as the vanguard of the counterattack, leading the charge. This was partly because Andrei's unit was elite enough and had a strong breakthrough capability, and partly because it possessed the largest number of military vehicles and armored vehicles.

From the command's perspective, after Andrei's unit acquired the latest armored vehicles from the factory, it could be considered a proper armored unit and could be used as an armored regiment.

Given this situation, with very limited armored forces, Andrei's unit naturally had to contribute more.

Because of the previous chaotic fighting, Andrei's troops suffered considerable casualties and were in a very exhausted state, so they did not launch an attack immediately, but instead set the time for the attack to be carried out the next morning.

In addition to his unit, a cavalry division will be deployed to the battle, joining his main offensive force to launch a counterattack towards the Luga River.

Their mission was simple: destroy the Luga Bridge as much as possible!
By destroying this bridge, they can trap the remaining enemy troops here and also block them on the other side of the river.

If we can block the enemy and prevent them from crossing the river, then the large number of artillery we have gathered here and the series of defensive fortifications that have taken a long time to build can all be put to use.

While most soldiers in the unit were resting and trying to adjust their condition, the players in Andrei's team were not idle.

Because of the distance, and because Andrei was unwilling to advance his infantry deep into enemy territory, it was impossible for him to personally go to the front lines and lead the players in the charge.

However, at this distance, it shouldn't be a problem to deploy air force units and have these aircraft destroy the enemy's elite troops and defenses in advance, thus weakening their strength.

He hadn't paid much attention to it during the previous battles, but later, Andrei suddenly realized that his air force's operational range should be much greater than that of the army.

After calculating the distances covered by airfields and aircraft flying around during air combat, it became clear that if the army's operational range were limited, Andrei's planes would not be able to take off at all.

As they fought, they never knew when they would have to leave the combat zone, but even after all the battles were over and the remaining planes returned to base, Andrei never saw any of the planes leave the combat zone.

Taking advantage of this air raid, he could also test his air force and see just how large the war zone was.

If the Air Force's operational range is indeed much larger than the Army's, that would be fantastic.

At that time, his army will be able to obtain tactical air cover when the war starts, and can also use air power to launch a wave of attacks on the enemy in advance, which will definitely make the enemy army feel like they are dying!
Andrei's mission was assigned, and dozens of players were selected.

While everyone else was asleep, a full 30 fighter jets and ten biplane bombers took off from the airfield at the rear.

Although Andrei had a larger number of aircraft, he did not give players a larger quota; he simply made those aircraft available for them to use.

With these forty planes, it should be enough for night raids on the enemy. Besides the night raids, his biggest mission this time is to test the air force's operational range.

He worried that if the number of planes was increased further, these players might inadvertently escalate into a full-scale war, causing the attack, which was supposed to start tomorrow night, to be brought forward.

Launching an attack ahead of time is naturally nothing to Andrei's force, which mainly relies on players as its fighting force.

But for other friendly forces, that would be fatal.

The attack preparations were not yet complete, and the troops that were supposed to be in position had not yet arrived, but the attack time was inexplicably brought forward.

Even if Andrei wins a chaotic battle like this, he worries that he might end up in a military court.

Moreover, compared to ordinary aircraft, these aircraft of the players have a huge advantage!
On the one hand, these planes will not have mechanical failures or other problems. As long as the player can fly them, these planes will definitely be able to reach the destination.

But compared to these advantages, the real and huge advantage is that these planes do not need to return to the airport for ammunition resupply!
Under normal circumstances, both fighter jets and bombers have a limited number of munitions they can carry, not to mention the fuel limitations.

After running out of ammunition and bombs, even if the plane still has enough fuel, it will eventually have to return to the airport for resupply.

However, for the system's vehicles, all attack methods are just like skills; they may have cooldown times, but there are never any limits on their effectiveness.

Furthermore, with no fuel restrictions, these aircraft function like perpetual motion machines, which means:

As long as the player's plane is not shot down, they can keep flying over the enemy and keep dropping bombs on the enemy's head!

Andrei could hardly imagine the devastating impact that such terrifying attack efficiency could ultimately produce.

Although his aircraft were all old models from World War I, with this series of advantages, he believed that his air force's strike effect could even be stronger than that of the US military in World War II!

Even the US Air Force, known for its elite units, cannot achieve unlimited ammunition and perpetual motion machines in its tactical air force!

A large number of planes took off from the airport, and the noise from their engines woke up many soldiers.

Seeing the faint dark shadows overhead, many soldiers couldn't help but wonder:
It's so dark now, how can those people flying in the sky see the ground?
Could they accidentally bomb the wrong enemy unit while fighting?

To be honest, Andrei also had some concerns about this issue.

In the game, players not only have the ability to be immune to damage by friendly forces, but the map itself is also very small, and they will not fight at night, so they can at least see the ground.

However, in reality, on such a vast battlefield, there is not even the most basic navigation and small map, and the various situations on the ground are also difficult to see.

Given the players' skill level, it's perfectly normal for them to accidentally blow up the wrong thing!
Thinking of this, Andrei felt a chill run down his spine. He hoped that he wouldn't accidentally fly to the wrong place and blow up the friendly forces next door!
If these guys accidentally drop the bomb in a distant city, then there's no other way but to lead the player on a life of wandering and escape, otherwise they'll definitely have to go through a military court!

Fortunately, one of the skills of the bomber controlled by the player came in very handy!

In this bombing raid, many players chose to use barrage bombers because this type of bomber is best suited for ground bombing.

One of the capabilities of this bomber is its reconnaissance camera.

When using it, take a picture of a region below, and enemy troops in those areas will immediately be marked, with an indicator appearing above their heads.

With this skill, although players still can't see clearly what's happening in the dark below, they can at least choose their targets based on the markers above their heads.

In a bomber, the player constantly adjusts their flight path according to the general directions indicated by the map and compass.

Although he wasn't quite sure where he was, it didn't matter. The mission was very general; it was just to prepare for tomorrow's attack by bombing.

So every now and then, he would take a picture of the area below with his reconnaissance camera.

When the time comes, he'll just look for red dots and throw bombs at the heads of the marked enemies.

"By the way, where did all those guys who fly fighter jets go?"

Just then, the player piloting the plane suddenly asked the gunner sitting in front of him a question, his expression turning somewhat distorted.

"This doesn't make sense. Shouldn't fighter jets be escorting our bombers?"

Upon hearing this, the gunner in front simply rolled his eyes.

"You're overthinking it. Unless they're really close teammates, who would bother waiting for us to slowly fly over and then escort us?"

"These guys must have already run ahead and started bombing, busy fighting for kills. I should have chosen a fighter jet too!"

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. What exactly is "escort" to players?
Whoever wants to escort can escort; they only care about getting kills. Anyway, if the bombers are shot down, it's not like we can't get new planes from behind. At worst, we can just come back and continue being heroes.

Wait, it seems that each person only has one life this mission. If the plane is destroyed, the mission will end immediately!
One of the players piloting the fighter jet suddenly realized this, and his eyes widened instantly.

Even so, he only widened his eyes slightly before continuing to play games alone.

Who cares? Anyway, if we're all doomed, it'll be the bomber who's doomed. Does that mean it'll affect my ability to collect kills?
In this operation, all fighter jets were set by Andrei to only be able to select trench fighters. The air combat fighters and bomber killers that players previously mainly chose became unselectable options.

The reason for this was that Andrei was worried that these fighter jets would wander around aimlessly, and the nature of this mission was mainly ground attack.

In addition to their own machine guns, trench fighters could also launch a large number of explosive arrows onto the ground.

These exploding arrows are basically metal nails filled with gunpowder. They are basically harmless against armored units, but against infantry, they can blow up a small area when they explode.

Although its ground attack capabilities are actually inferior to those of attack aircraft, it's still usable enough.

Instead of spending a lot of influence points to unlock the attack aircraft, isn't it better to just make do with this for now?
In addition, the biggest reason Andrei made such restrictions was because trench attack aircraft had a major skill: dropping signal flares.

The effect of this signal flare is similar to that of a bomber's reconnaissance camera. As long as a signal flare is dropped on an area, it can immediately illuminate and mark the surrounding enemies.

Although this skill's detection range isn't as far as that of a reconnaissance camera, it's sufficient for most purposes.

As long as players know how to use this skill and instead of randomly firing at the ground, they will basically not accidentally harm friendly forces.

Having suffered heavy losses due to their encounter with the living saint, the armored army was forced to retreat. One of its motorized infantry divisions has now temporarily stationed itself in a small town.

According to the latest information, they have received orders from General Ron in the rear to retreat from the bridge.

This surprise attack was mainly based on being bold and sudden enough to catch the Cambrian army off guard and encircle their troops as quickly as possible.

If the raid succeeds, they can trap the enemy in Luga and completely seize the bridge that crosses the Luga River.

Unfortunately, their raid failed.

The enemy's living saints have arrived, and the troops have suffered repeated setbacks in front of the enemy's defenses. Therefore, General Ron did not hesitate and ordered the troops to retreat as quickly as possible the next day.

If they retreated too late, they would likely be completely blocked on the other side of the river and face the risk of total annihilation.

"Strange, what's that sound? Is it a wasp?"

Just then, a soldier suddenly heard a strange buzzing sound coming from afar.

He didn't initially think the sound was coming from the direction of enemy aircraft, because he believed it was impossible for the enemy to launch an air raid at night.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about one issue:
How could they distinguish between enemy and friendly forces on the ground if they chose to launch an airstrike at night? They couldn't just bomb indiscriminately!

Given the current visibility, if the air force were to launch a nighttime air raid, they would ultimately be left with nothing but indiscriminate bombing of the ground.

Considering that there happens to be an enemy city nearby, statistically speaking, if we bomb indiscriminately, they will definitely not be the ones who suffer heavy losses!
"Damn it, enemy attack! It's the enemy's air force!"

But just then, a mage with tentacles on his staff, atop a rather strange chariot, suddenly shouted to those around him, and a skull on the chariot's roof flashed with a scarlet light.

"Quickly, quickly, anti-aircraft fire! Anti-aircraft battalion, get moving!"

The officer, startled awake, quickly shouted to those around him. Just then, several crimson signal flares suddenly fell from the sky.

With the help of the signal flares, they could barely make out the formation of aircraft in the sky.

When they saw the strange flying machines with wings like birds, the motorized infantry division, which had not dealt with Andrei's troops in previous wars, all wore strange expressions.

Because they genuinely didn't understand what these flying machines were all about; it was no different from humans seeing airplanes for the first time.

However, the air defense positions located on the outskirts of the town don't care about all that.

An extremely large anti-aircraft gun with a total of 12 barrels was unleashing an astonishing barrage of firepower into the sky, with shells raining down like a storm.

This anti-aircraft gun is considered a special anti-aircraft weapon equipped by the Black Hawk Empire. It was originally designed to deal with the deflection shields of enemy airships.

By relying on concentrated firepower, they can effectively deplete the magic of the deflection shield and quickly dismantle the enemy airship's defenses!
At this moment, using this kind of anti-aircraft firepower to deal with fighter jets also seems to be a very good option.

The extremely dense anti-aircraft guns shot down the two biplanes in an instant. The pilots inside the planes found that their aircraft had been torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, and they didn't even have a chance to salvage them!

"Damn it! My brand new fighter jet, I haven't even had a chance to fire a single shot yet!"

The player couldn't help but feel a deep sadness at the thought that the fighter jet he had spent so much merit to acquire had been destroyed without even firing a single shot.

No, we absolutely cannot let it go to waste like this!
He needs to kill a few more people to at least recoup some of the losses from this battle, otherwise it would be too much of a loss!

Thinking of this, he immediately began his parachute jump, or rather, the player's extremely unique Leap of Faith.

The intense firepower from this air defense position posed a significant threat to the player's fighter jets, but it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Without any hesitation or fear of death, players immediately flew their fighter jets toward them at top speed, and the machine guns on the jets opened fire first.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Large volleys of machine gun bullets struck the thick gun shield, sending up a shower of sparks. The Black Hawk soldier responsible for adjusting the ammunition belt was instantly riddled with machine gun fire and turned into a pile of minced meat.

"Damn Cambrian people, die!"

There was no time to grieve for the loss of their comrades. The gunners sitting on the anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the planes in the sky at top speed, instantly causing another plane to spin and crash down.

Just then, a large number of inconspicuous metal nails fell from the sky. Under the influence of gravity, the weighted tips quickly pointed towards the ground and fell like raindrops.

Crackling!

These metal nails, when driven into the ground, can blast a crater in the blink of an eye, with continuous explosions, just like a bunch of firecrackers being thrown down.

The soldiers on the anti-aircraft positions had already been pierced by several metal spikes, and were then blown to pieces.

"Well done, soldiers! You are all warriors of the Empire!"

The officer, hiding in a house and peering out the window at the distant air defense position, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the heroic gunner who had sacrificed his life.

These gunners' valiant counterattack not only shot down enemy aircraft, but more importantly, by exposing their positions, they also drew away enemy fire.

In the dark, people will subconsciously attack enemies they can see, or targets that have already been identified as enemies.

Obviously, compared to the rest of the pitch-black area, the exposed anti-aircraft guns were the best option for attack.

Just then, two fighter jets flew to the top of the house and rained down a large number of metal nails.

(End of this chapter)
