The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 227 Cavalry Battle and the Blessing of the Cold-Blooded Lady

"What era are we living in? Still playing cavalry charges?"

Holding up his binoculars, Andrei glanced at the cavalry unit that had suddenly appeared in the distance and couldn't help but curl his lip.

To be honest, he had thought there was something special about this cavalry unit, and he had taken a few extra glances at it.

After all, the development of wars in this world is inherently strange. When Andrei was resting in Petrograd, he took advantage of his father to inquire about some things and learned that the Iris Empire still had a knightly order!

However, looking at the cavalry in the distance, Andrei felt that they were no different from the cavalry during World War I. They were all light cavalrymen with sabers and lances, dressed in white.

At least at first glance, Andrei couldn't see anything special about this cavalry unit.

After casually tagging the largest cavalry guild under his command and issuing them a mission to eliminate enemy cavalry, Andrei resumed focusing his attention on urban warfare.

Cavalry units are outdated these days, there's nothing to worry about. If these cavalry units can wipe out that bunch of T34s and scatter his troops, they'll have to be cheating!
Upon suddenly receiving such a special guild quest, Khan's eyes narrowed, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

He brandished his saber forcefully from his horse and beckoned to the other cavalrymen, saying:
"Gentlemen, good news! We have a cavalry battle mission!"

"Shoot down that charging cavalry force, and you'll get tons of merit and rewards!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding cavalrymen burst into excited wolf howls.

They had been fighting around the city's outskirts, clearing out wave after wave of enemies, and had already killed countless people.

After fighting for so long, the number of enemies around them was decreasing. The remaining enemies, even those who hadn't died, had all fled into the city. Some cavalrymen couldn't contain themselves any longer and wanted to simply enter the city to fight.

But the sudden cavalry battle mission instantly got these guys excited.

Cavalry is not suited to urban environments. Rather than slowly battling the enemy in urban warfare, they would rather engage in a cavalry charge against the enemy!

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry players had gathered together, and more and more cavalry were rushing towards them.

Not all cavalrymen belong to the White Scars guild. Some cavalry players from other places saw the excitement and came to join in, since such a pure cavalry battle is rare.

The cavalry unit, positioned in the distance and preparing to charge towards the train station, suddenly noticed the cavalry unit that was gathering on its flank.

"Lieutenant Colonel, it's a Cambrian cavalry unit!"

A soldier pointed his saber into the distance and shouted excitedly, while their cavalry unit's lieutenant colonel commander, Salminin, simply said with a disdainful look:

"Warriors of Altera, do you see the Cambrian cavalry in the distance?"

"The Cambrian Empire has always been arrogant and domineering. They claim that their cavalry is the best in the north and that their Cossack cavalry is invincible. It's time for us to test their mettle!"

"Attack! Crush the Cambrian cavalry, for Alternia! Charge!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the cavalry unit quickly changed direction and charged towards the players who were forming ranks in the distance.

At any other time, the player would have already charged forward alone. Although there were many enemy cavalry, the player was not afraid of dying. As long as they killed a few more before dying, it would not be a loss.

However, because this was a rare cavalry battle, the players also paid great attention to the sense of ceremony and specially adjusted a horizontal formation here.

Of course, their horizontal formation was just for show. Given the players' teamwork, expecting them to pull off a perfect wall charge was unrealistic.

"Guys, let's charge!"

"Cavalry Company, charge!"

"Ula——!"

As the players charged forward, they excitedly shouted, which did not boost their attack but created a great atmosphere.

As the saying goes, the atmosphere has already reached this point, how can we not do *that*?

Compared to the player's cavalry charge, the Alteran cavalry charge process is quite traditional and formal.

The cavalry initially moved forward slowly with small, quick steps, but as their pace quickened, the horses' speed increased, eventually creating a thunderous roar of hooves.

In contrast, players riding nuclear-powered warhorses don't care about any of that.

When they charged, they were purely brute force, pushing their warhorses to their maximum speed first!
Anyway, their warhorses don't have a stamina bar, so they can be like perpetual motion machines, charging forward at will. They are also incredibly resilient, practically like horse-shaped armored vehicles!
Halfway through their charge, the Altrians noticed the Cambrian cavalry's unusual increase in speed.

"Hahaha, is this the Cossack cavalry that the Cambrian people are so proud of? Is this all there is to their cavalry force?"

Lieutenant Colonel Salminin pointed his saber into the distance and shouted excitedly:

"These idiots, they're definitely recruits who haven't received proper training!"

"At this distance, they've already ridden their warhorses this fast. What will they do when their warhorses can't run anymore?"

"Speed ​​is power; they're doomed when they collide!"

In those days, cavalry charges required a powerful momentum, and it was essential to ensure that one's warhorse could reach maximum speed during the charge.

Otherwise, once their warhorses slowed down, they would be like sitting ducks in the eyes of the opposing cavalry, who could easily cleave them in two with a single blow.

Meanwhile, without the speed boost, how could they possibly cut down charging cavalry while standing still? Did their arms really have that much strength?
The cavalry of both sides were closing the distance at an extremely fast pace; in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than 500 meters.

The player was the first to pull out a cavalry lance and start firing wildly into the distance.

Although the players' cavalry lances are extremely accurate, at such a distance, most players can hardly guarantee a sufficient hit rate, so they basically rely purely on luck when shooting.

Meanwhile, some of the opposing cavalrymen couldn't resist drawing their own lances after seeing the enemy draw theirs.

"Rookies are just recruits. At this distance, what can they possibly hit with cavalry lances fired randomly?"

Lieutenant Colonel Salminin couldn't help but complain that the cavalry lances used by the Altrians were actually mostly purchased from the Cambrian Empire, meaning that the cavalry on both sides were using the same type of weapon.

So how could they not know what the most suitable shooting distance for this type of rifle is?

Now these Cambrian cavalrymen are starting to blunder haphazardly, running out of bullets. Are they going to have to slowly reload when you charge in and get right in their face?
Or rather, what serious cavalryman would have his hands free to load bullets while charging?

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Salminin was thinking this, several screams suddenly came from not far away from him.

Whether it was pure luck or there were really sharpshooters on the other side, at such a distance, a cavalryman was hit by a bullet in one go!
Some soldiers who were shot in vital areas died on the spot, while others were shot in the abdomen and were bleeding profusely, so much so that they could not straighten their backs.

The worst case was when a cavalryman was shot and fell off his horse, but because his feet were still in the stirrups, his legs ended up hanging on the horse!

As a result, his lower body fell to the ground and was dragged along by the warhorse like a broom, and within moments it was a bloody mess.

The Alteran cavalry returned fire, but it was clear that their marksmanship was not as sharp as the players'.

In addition, players, being cavalry, generally have relatively high health, making it difficult for the enemy to kill them with a single shot. Expecting multiple bullets to hit the same cavalryman would be asking too much.

So the Altera cavalry fired a barrage of shots, but in the end, they only managed to kill one unlucky player.

As the distance closes, the hit rate of players using cavalry lances is increasing at an astonishing rate!

If at the beginning, players could only rely on their instincts to shoot, and it would take about ten shots to hit the target, now, unless a player is particularly unlucky, they can basically hit the target twice out of three shots.

Alteran cavalrymen were constantly being shot off their horses. Faced with such extremely accurate shooting, many Alteran cavalrymen couldn't help but lie on the back of their horses' necks, fearing that they might be hit by accident.

Although in such a high-speed charge, if their warhorses were killed by the enemy, they would certainly be doomed as well, and their teammates charging up from behind could trample them to death on the spot.

But no matter what, having something in front of you to shield you from view always brings a sense of security.

"Hurry up, it's time!"

Just then, Lieutenant Colonel Salminin suddenly shouted to the rear, and a Black Hawk Empire mage advisor hidden in the cavalry suddenly drew his staff and fired a spell into the distance.

A massive bone spear flew straight out from the cavalry ranks, piercing the cavalry player at the forefront of the charge and instantly killing the unfortunate fellow.

At the same time, as the necromancy took effect, a group of Alteran cavalrymen who had previously fallen to the ground actually stood up again, albeit shakily!
"Hey, what are you doing? This isn't what we agreed on!"

Hearing the commotion behind him, Lieutenant Colonel Salaminin turned around and was horrified to see the corpses of his own soldiers who had been resurrected.

He glared angrily at the necromancer hidden in the ranks behind him, feeling as if he wanted to draw his sword and chop him to pieces!
Before the war began, he repeatedly instructed the necromancers from the Black Hawk Empire not to desecrate the corpses of their comrades under any circumstances!

But clearly, the necromancer ignored everything he said.

The necromancer had no interest in arguing with the Alteran officer in front of him; he simply labeled the man a fool in his mind.

They were about to clash with the enemy, so what good would it do to just throw bone spears outwards?
With that much time, he could probably only throw one or two bone spears before the opposing cavalry would collide with them. The actual killing effect was almost the same as firing one or two shots with a cavalry lance.

So if you want his help, then hurry up and provide him with a corpse that can be resurrected!

He did want to revive the Cambrian soldiers' corpses, but the Cambrian soldiers on the other side hadn't died many times, so reviving a whole wave was too much of a waste. He might as well revive the corpses that fell down later.

After Lieutenant Colonel Salminin angrily turned around and cursed a couple of times, he found that the necromancer hadn't made a move. He couldn't help but curse the guy as a coward in his heart.

But he didn't have time to turn around and yell anymore, because the cavalry on the other side had already charged up!

The situation was different from what he had imagined. The Cambrian warhorses did not become fatigued despite being at their fastest speed earlier than expected. Their endurance was astonishing, and they were still able to maintain their exaggerated speed from the beginning!

The cavalry of both sides swept past each other, and every now and then two warhorses would collide. In just one exchange, countless cavalrymen were cut down to the ground.

Compared to the Cambrian Empire, the Altranian cavalry suffered extremely heavy losses, losing nearly a hundred cavalrymen in a single encounter.

It wasn't just because the Cambrian warhorses were fast enough, but also because these Cambrian people were generally equipped with spears, which seemed to be more effective than their sabers when engaging in close combat!
It's really strange; they hadn't noticed where those guys had thrown their spears before.

However, the lieutenant colonel had overturned his previous conclusion: these guys were definitely not greenhorns!
The cavalry lance is a very complex weapon to use, as evidenced by the long training time required for cavalry.

If we follow the standards of the Napoleonic Wars, it would take about six months to train a group of light cavalrymen who are basically usable with sabers, while it would take at least two years to train a group of lancers who are usable.

He never expected that the Cambrian Empire's cavalry would use such an archaic fighting style!
Could it be because of Cossack tradition?

Besides spearmen, some cunning cavalry players simply don't intend to engage in a direct confrontation.

Before the two sides clashed, these players had already broken away from the main force and quickly circled around to the flank of their own cavalry company, then continuously fired to cover their own side.

Although this fighting style may not seem as thrilling as charging with spears, their killing efficiency is much higher; a single spear thrust can take down an enemy cavalryman.

When the warhorses of both sides collide, the difference in their strength immediately becomes apparent.

Despite their similar appearance, the warhorses used by these players are all incredibly powerful nuclear-powered warhorses in Battlefield. In addition to their perpetual motion machine characteristics, one of their biggest features is that they are extremely durable!
During the high-speed charge, the two warhorses collided, and the Altrianian's horse suffered a broken sternum on the spot, and even had its leg broken by the opposing horse.

Meanwhile, the player's warhorse was completely unharmed, appearing to be unscathed!
Even when a cavalryman slashed at an enemy horse with his sword, the horse still couldn't be made to lose control. In contrast, an enemy could easily kill their horse with a stab of his spear!

boom!
The sudden explosion startled both sides' cavalry.

Players discovered that, at some point, a guy equipped with the Krieg Deathstriker skin was wielding an explosive, molten spear and stabbing it at the opposing cavalry.

Without a doubt, the molten spear exploded and instantly blasted the opposing cavalry into pieces, and the terrifying molten flames even affected several people around them.

Upon seeing this, several Krieg cavalrymen's eyes lit up, and they quickly replaced their ordinary spears with molten spears.

This thing is awesome! Although it's actually designed for anti-armor purposes, it seems to be just as effective at stabbing enemy cavalry!

The only downside is that this thing can also cause injury when it explodes, but that doesn't matter, having fun is the most important thing!
Unlike the excited expressions on the players' faces, the Altranians were completely stunned by the sudden explosion.

They couldn't understand what deep-seated hatred these Cambrian cavalrymen had for them that they would resort to such a suicidal tactic, directly attaching explosives to their spears and stabbing them upwards.

And shouldn't attacks like this be used against armored units? Why are they being used on these cavalrymen?

The necromancer was hiding in the shadows, preparing to ambush and kill two players with his bone spear, but when he saw the terrifying explosion, he instantly lost the will to stay and fight.

A good monk doesn't argue with a madman!

He had originally planned it all out; as long as he set up the bone shield in advance, these cavalrymen, whether in ranged or melee combat, would be unable to harm him.

But who knew these lunatics would actually strap explosives to spears?

Judging from this situation, he felt that his bone shield probably wouldn't last long, and he might be instantly killed by the opponent! Even mages are afraid of explosives!

"Retreat, retreat immediately!"

Lieutenant Colonel Salminin was terrified by these reckless lunatics, and he had no intention of continuing to clash with them with his cavalry.

Damn it, these Cambrian people are really fearless, they even use such a freakish move!

He couldn't understand how these Cambrian soldiers, who had always been riding high on their heads and oppressing Alterania, could seem to harbor even deeper hatred than the Cambrian soldiers.

What kind of grudge could this be? Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd been exploiting the Cambrian Empire all along!
Seeing that the cavalry were trying to run away, how could the players who had just switched to molten spears give up?
They finally caught their target and wanted to bombard them with two powerful attacks, so how could they let these guys get away so easily?

They had never experienced such maneuvers in cavalry battles in Battlefield One before!

Fortunately, the players' warhorses were already faster than normal warhorses, and after switching to Krieg's skin, these guys charged even faster.

So even if the Alteran cavalry on the other side suddenly tried to escape, they could not escape the pursuit of the players behind them. They were all pierced by the molten spears and then blown to pieces.

In addition, some players chased after the enemy from the side while constantly throwing grenades at the opposing cavalry.

This is considered a player's specialty; what serious cavalry player doesn't know how to throw grenades?
Hand grenades are the cavalry's magic weapon for defeating the enemy. Whether used to bombard enemy cavalry or enemy armored vehicles, they are extremely effective.

After being hit by a barrage of grenades, the Altranian cavalry fled even faster.

Damn it, the Cambrian people are all lunatics! They've been fighting for so long, and this is the first time they've seen such a bizarre fighting style. Are the cavalry even throwing grenades?
In their minds, the cavalrymen who also liked to throw grenades seemed to be the former Imperial Guard Grenadier Cavalry of the Iris Empire.

However, those guys only threw grenades at infantry, and it required extremely high skill. Who throws grenades directly at cavalry?
Meanwhile, the Black Hawk Mage, who was slinking away in the crowd, shrank his head even lower.

That's terrifying! Is this the legendary Cossack cavalry?

He once thought that Cossack cavalry were nothing more than a band of bandits, outdated and no longer worth deploying in actual combat.

But judging from the current situation, these Cossacks wouldn't be able to break through his bone shield. He felt that even if it were an armored reconnaissance company of the Black Hawk Empire, they would probably perish on the spot if they faced such a cavalry force!

"Not bad, but unfortunately, the cavalry lances were still a bit lacking..."

After watching a distant cavalry battle through his binoculars, Andrei smacked his lips, seemingly still wanting more.

He felt that cavalry players were good in every way, except that their guns weren't very effective.

Although the cavalry lance has high damage and is particularly accurate, making it a very good weapon, the effect would be even better if these players mounted the machine gun on their warhorses.

Unfortunately, he only thought about such things.

Cavalrymen can only choose cavalry lances among firearms; they cannot change their weapons. Moreover, Andrei had some doubts about how they would operate if heavy weapons were put into their hands.

After all, cavalry rifles can be fired with one hand, but if they were to get an MG-08 water-cooled heavy machine gun, Andrei had serious doubts about their firing posture.

However, Andrei found the mage in the enemy team rather annoying.

Although there was no indication of it, Andrei instinctively felt that this guy must be a mage from the Black Hawk Empire. Apart from the Black Hawk Empire, he had never heard of necromancers being so popular anywhere else!

Therefore, Andre immediately and without hesitation issued a kill order to the mage, demanding that the player eliminate the mage!
Such a necromancer cannot be allowed to live; keeping him around could easily lead to endless trouble.

Of course, considering their current combat environment, Andrei felt that the necromancer might inflict more damage on the Alteranians, since they were currently attacking an enemy city.

With such a commotion, the players naturally noticed the necromancer.

Even without Andrei issuing the quest, players had already focused their fire on the necromancer, trying to take him down, but he was too fast.

The small bone shield behind him successfully blocked all the bullets, and the occasional cavalrymen unwittingly used it to shield this cunning mage from bullets, making it impossible for the players to eliminate him even after fighting for a long time.

No matter, the players believed that with their warhorses' high speed, they would catch up with this guy sooner or later.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Why are they all targeting me?"

The Black Hawk Mage, who was desperately fleeing, glanced at the cavalry behind him and suddenly felt as if he had lost his breath, and his heart skipped a beat.

This is terrifying! What did I do to deserve this? Why are all these guys rushing towards me?
He thought and thought, and wondered why the Cambrian cavalry were so angry when he realized that the corpses he had resurrected were all those of Alterania.
He quickly waved his staff, causing his newly resurrected corpse to rush over as fast as possible to buy him some time.

These resurrected corpses could no longer ride horses. Creating a ghost knight would require a more complex process, something he couldn't simply conjure up with a wave of his hand.

However, it doesn't matter. Even in the form of undead zombies, these corpses are still excellent cannon fodder. Apart from being slow to react, they don't have many drawbacks.

A bunch of newly resurrected corpses staggered and charged towards them, desperately trying to stop the player's warhorse.

But in the eyes of the players, these swaying corpses are simply ready-made live targets!
"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan! You cowards, die now!"

One player, caught up in the moment, shouted and charged forward with his spear. His warhorse, even faster, charged forward with a powerful thrust.

Such a heavy corpse was lifted up by the player with a spear stuck in one hand, as if he were lifting a piece of char siu, which terrified the surrounding Altannians.

"Monsters, what a bunch of monsters!"

Lieutenant Colonel Salminin, who had just witnessed all of this, was horrified. He could hardly imagine how strong this man's arms must be to so easily lift a heavy corpse with a spear.

From the perspective of leverage, it is much more difficult for him to lift a corpse in this way than to lift a corpse with one hand!

The lieutenant colonel couldn't help but feel a strange sense of relief when he thought about how his cavalry had previously fought against these strong Cambrian supermen.

It's not that they weren't capable, it's just that the enemy's members were all superhuman!
He strongly suspected that these cavalrymen were likely modified units of the Cambrian Empire. Apart from modified humans, he couldn't think of any other Cossacks who could have such ferocious physical strength, both the men and their horses!

"Want to run? How can it be that easy?"

After chasing for a long time without catching up with the necromancer, one of the players became anxious.

Without hesitation, he jumped off his horse and quickly transformed himself from a cavalryman into an infantryman, then pulled out a carrot launcher.

With one grenade, the bone shield behind the mage was shattered instantly, and the metallic jet generated by the cone-shaped explosive charge pierced through his body in an instant.

"Got it! Combining cavalry and infantry is the best way to use them!"

Upon glancing at the large sum of merit points suddenly appearing in his account, the player couldn't help but chuckle.

Apart from him, the other players couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as they looked at the extra merits and newly acquired guild points in their accounts.

The guild points they just earned, plus the points they gained from donating to the guild fund and completing tasks, are enough to buy some useful items.

Besides the hummingbird gun and the finger gun, they seem capable of creating something even more outrageous for themselves.

Meanwhile, in the Krieg First Regiment guild, which was fighting on the front lines, some members also redeemed weapons from the guild shop—the infamous katana from Battlefield Five.

Once equipped with a katana, it's hard to say whether they are more overpowered than the trench soldiers. The trench soldiers have the advantage of being more durable, while the katana can instantly restore full health after killing one person.

But one thing is certain: once equipped with these two items, they will be absolutely ruthless and unstoppable in areas with complex terrain and dense crowds!

A player from the Krieg Guild has just accepted a mission to lead a squad, and now nine soldiers are following him as he fights in the city.

Seeing that their superior officer had merely walked around the next room and suddenly pulled out a strange knife, one soldier asked curiously:

"Boss, what kind of knife is this? It looks really strange."

"Japanese samurai sword, those Japanese devils' gadgets, let me show you how powerful this weapon is!"

The player who had just received the katana was incredibly excited and casually remarked to them.

The Cambrian soldiers were completely bewildered. After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't recall any country in the world called Japan. Could it be a country they didn't know about?

However, the soldiers didn't have many doubts; they didn't know there were several countries involved.

Given the Cambrian people's level of education, most of these ordinary soldiers from commoner families couldn't even remember the major countries in the world.

For them, all they could remember was the Iris Empire, the pearl of Europe, the Black Hawk Empire, which was invading them, the Altera, which they were currently slaughtering, and some other neighbors.

Many people don't even know about the Constellation United States across the ocean; at least for them, they have no idea what the other side of the ocean is.

Just then, a soldier suddenly fired into the distance and shouted:
"Watch out! Be careful of that house across the street, there are people inside!"

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. If he hadn't been lucky enough to turn around and dodge the bullet aimed at his head, he would have been fine.

Otherwise, his head would probably have been smashed right there on the spot!

The gunman hiding in the house missed his shot and seemed to have no intention of leaving, but rather prepared to stay in the house and continue fighting.

I wonder what's so great about this house, or maybe he just didn't choose an escape route beforehand and got trapped inside?

Several Cambrian soldiers fired at the opposite side while throwing smoke grenades, taking advantage of the opportunity to quickly move closer under the cover of smoke.

After spending a lot of time with players, they gradually learned the techniques of the players' "Smoke Demon" skill.

Although fighting in the smoke was very uncomfortable, not only did it sting their eyes, but it also sometimes made them dizzy.

However, it must be said that this tactic is indeed very convenient for covering oneself. Once a smoke grenade is thrown, most gunmen will not be able to hit them accurately, unless the other side has a machine gun.

Moreover, even if they are using machine guns, throwing smoke grenades can greatly increase their survival rate.

Several soldiers pressed themselves against the wall, cautiously searching for small holes, while discreetly approaching the window.

They planned to throw cluster grenades directly through the windows, just like in previous operations, and then rush inside.

Thanks to the Altrians' poor preparation for battle, these glass windows were not only fragile but also completely unreinforced.

Therefore, their cluster grenades can easily smash in, just like throwing in a brick.

Of course, this may also be because the Altrians did not expect the war to escalate so much. They were the ones on the offensive, but instead, they were pushed back here by the enemy.

Just then, they suddenly noticed their superior officer holding the knife, sneaking up to the door.

"Wait a minute, sir, we haven't thrown the grenades yet!"

A soldier cried out in alarm, but their officer drew his knife, a smile on his face, and said:

Forget about those pointless grenades, let me show you something!

No sooner had he finished speaking than his superior kicked open the door and rushed in, sword in hand.

The player had barely run inside when he was ambushed by gunmen hiding there.

The gunman, who had been hiding behind the wall, hit the player in the waist from the side with a single shot. Judging from the trajectory of the bullet, if the player were a normal person, both of his kidneys would have been destroyed on the spot.

Unfortunately, the player wasn't a normal person; this shot only caused his health to drop significantly.

Without any hesitation or pause because of the shot, the gleaming blade flashed past, and a swift draw slash immediately sliced ​​through the soldier's throat.

The gunman hiding in the corner slowly collapsed in disbelief, never imagining that he would be killed by a single blow!

Before the player could hear any noise, the enemy hiding in the kitchen suddenly rushed out and opened fire on the player with a submachine gun.

However, the players proved with their actions that within seven steps, a knife is faster than a gun!
Three submachine gun bullets hit him in quick succession, causing his health to drop rapidly. But a katana flashed by, cleaving the soldier in two at an angle and instantly restoring his health to full.

There were five Altera soldiers hiding in the room. When the other three saw that their comrade had fallen, they rushed out together, each with a bayonet stuck in their gun.

But the player's movements were too fast, like a ghost, and he slid past the three of them in one go.

The terrifying sword strike severed the heads of the three soldiers on the spot. Until their dying moments, the three soldiers did not understand how they died. They only felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes, and then they knew nothing more.

"It's done!"

Hearing the commotion, the Cambrian soldiers outside filed in, and upon looking down, they saw five mutilated corpses.

"Boss, wow, that's incredible! What kind of swordsmanship is that?"

"I know, this must be the legendary Cossack cavalry swordsmanship! It's amazing!"

Surrounded by a group of NPCs praising him, the player couldn't help but feel a little smug, even though he knew it was just a game.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, I'm just a legend!"

"Don't get agitated, let's keep searching and see where the enemy is hiding. I'll take the knife and chop them down one by one!"

Because this player's combat position happened to be within Andrei's minimap area, Andrei also shared this player's perspective.

Seeing the Cambrian soldiers' admiring expressions and the player's smug smile, Andrei was speechless.

Please, don't corrupt my soldiers!

If this continues, are his soldiers going to become a cleaver squad?

But just then, the player who was being criticized by Andrei suddenly paused, noticing a notification box appearing in front of him:

[Congratulations to player Brave Bull! For your valiant combat performance, you have received the blessing of the Cold-Blooded Lady, and your strength and agility have both been increased!]

What's going on? Does this game have an Easter egg like this? What did he just do?

He just used his katana to kill a few people in close combat, and also chopped off a few of their heads along the way.
This is how you receive the blessing of the cold-blooded lady? It's like Khorne.
After conducting some tests, he was certain that his movement speed had indeed increased significantly!

As for the increase in strength, he didn't really feel it, because players don't really deal with the strength attribute.

Just look at the players who can carry an 80-pound AT rifle with their bare hands and still move around like the wind, and you'll know how abnormal their strength is.

Without hesitation, the player immediately took a screenshot of the notification box and sent it to the chat area.

What is this wave? This wave is a symbol of being incredibly lucky! I have to show it off right away!
In the blink of an eye, a bunch of players started tagging him and asking how he obtained this blessing.
When they heard that using a samurai sword to kill someone might grant a blessing, a bunch of players immediately started trying to exchange for samurai swords.

Those who couldn't exchange for samurai swords also created trench warfare units for themselves, resulting in Andrei's players growing into a melee force at an astonishing rate.

Andrei: ...

Damn! This cold-blooded woman is definitely a terror!

The way he looked at it, the more he felt that the blessing process seemed familiar. Was he going to have to find an enemy for close combat next, and have a champion duel between the two sides?
Meanwhile, the candidate for the Living Saint, who had spent half the day in the church, seeing many sights and hearing some stories but gaining nothing else, suddenly brightened up when he saw the content in the chat area.

"Wait a minute, I need to see your bishop. I think I know how to contact the cold-blooded lady!"

　Just to clarify, the chapter that was previously stuck in the review process was Chapter 224, but it's been released now. It's not that I didn't update; it's just that after it was stuck in the review process, I didn't get a notification when it was released. Please don't think I've missed an update, hehe.
