The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 266 The whole world is going crazy, so what about us?
"What...is that? A cyborg?"

One of the Black Hawk soldiers looked at the horse girl who was charging rapidly towards them in the distance and couldn't help but ask, somewhat puzzled.

To be honest, he really didn't recognize what this centaur was.

"They must be some kind of modified soldiers, but what kind of training do they receive?"

Another Black Hawk soldier stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what this strange thing was.

Those who know them are cyborgs; those who don't might think some kind of magical army has descended into reality!

Of course, the Black Hawk Empire thought these units looked magical, but in Andrei's opinion, the Black Hawk Empire's battle mages and the Cambrian Empire's living saints were even more magical!
Compared to those things, he felt that he had only managed to create some demi-human soldiers, which was nothing at all.

"Fire! Quick! Shoot them down!"

No matter what it is, just shoot.

Although the thing the Cambrian Empire came up with looked strange, the Black Hawk soldiers all felt that this centaur was probably just a relatively agile cavalryman.
At least in their view, what difference could there be between a centaur and a cavalryman? At most, it was just a matter of saving the trouble of riding a horse.

But they had no idea that the biggest advantage of centaurs over cavalry was that, in addition to being able to use cavalry skills while running naked, players could also choose to equip their centaur with various sets of armor!

For example, the few female warriors charging at the forefront are all equipped with machine gun sentry suits.

"Suppress them! Quickly!"

"Hurry up and output some information, what are you standing there for?"

A burst of intense machine gun fire erupted, with four or five machine guns firing simultaneously, unleashing a dense hail of bullets that instantly covered the Black Hawk Army's position.

Compared to the originally very erratic state of the machine gun sentry when firing the machine gun, the female soldiers, perhaps because of their strength bonus, have a very stable bullet trajectory when firing the machine gun.

The bullets swept along the trench in an almost straight line, and several Black Hawk soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were instantly pierced by the bullets.

At the same time, another intruder, Ma Niang, rushed to the flank of the position at top speed and began firing signal flares at the position.

Among all elite units, the Invader is a very fragile unit that is easily killed by the enemy.

However, when the invaders and the horse-women units are combined, they suddenly have almost the same health as cavalry, making them much more resistant to damage.

At the very least, they won't accidentally kill themselves, and they'll have a stronger chance of survival even when charging into battle.

After several signal flares hit the enemy's position, a series of artillery shells were immediately fired.

I don’t know if it’s because after Andrei’s rank was promoted, his system received some minor improvements, but the subspace bombardment that used to appear out of nowhere seemed to have changed here.

When the signal flare landed on the enemy's position, artillery shells would immediately and accurately fly from the artillery positions behind Andrei's camp, and then launch a series of bombardments on the enemy's position.

While this approach loses the element of surprise in a subspace attack, it does seem more scientifically sound, but that's not the point.

Both Andrei and the players noticed something:

The modified intruders' subspace artillery fire appears to be determined by the type of artillery available on their side.

For example, when this signal flare landed, the first thing to hit the Black Hawk Army's position was actually a 203mm caliber Andrei's Hammer shell located in the rear!

The 203mm shells, especially those using a cluster munition design capable of splitting, instantly covered a large bombardment area on this position.

The Black Hawk soldiers, who had been hiding in the trenches and thought they were relatively safe, were suddenly swept away by a terrifying barrage of artillery fire, leaving their heads buzzing.

Although this signal flare seemed to have only guided two or three 203mm shells to land in this area, even one such large-caliber shell could cause huge casualties to the army.

Not to mention, these falling shells were in cluster munitions, which had a wider blast radius.

"Damn it! Bro, take it easy!"

The intruders' shelling had just ended when one player couldn't help but curse, because he had also been caught in the shelling's range!

It was only thanks to his use of the female horse unit and his equipment of the machine gun sentry suit that he was not killed in the previous round of artillery fire.

The cavalry's health, combined with the machine gunner's heavy armor, barely held up against that round of artillery fire. If it had been any other soldier, he would have been dead on the spot!
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know the invaders' firepower had become so strong after the game update!"

"I'll try firing a signal flare in a more distant direction!"

As she spoke, she tried to raise the flare gun as high as possible, and then fired a flare into the distant dense forest.

Although the dense forest seemed deserted, her minimap showed that a small squad of Black Hawk soldiers were indeed lying in ambush there!

The signal flare had just landed when a huge whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

The player turned around and looked behind him, only to find several Katyusha rockets flying towards them.

"Damn it, it seems the shelling has been changed to randomly select shells from the positions. Besides these two types of artillery, do we have any other types of artillery on our positions?"

As several rockets slammed into the forest, the player exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.

If Andrei had brought some even more powerful heavy artillery, that would be great.

"We don't have any other good cannons. Apart from these two types, we don't seem to have brought any other cannons with us, and the other cannons can't keep up with our movement speed!"

This is the key point: Andrei's team, composed entirely of players, moves too fast, while the towed artillery, which takes a lot of time to load and unload, leaves players quite dissatisfied.

In addition, Andrei's unit was not equipped with any good heavy artillery, only relatively conventional 122mm howitzers and 152mm howitzers.

While this is indeed standard equipment for military units, it's clear that players with a bunch of random weapons wouldn't bother with it.

"Damn it, if we had known our artillery fire could be this effective, we should have brought the Karl mortar with us. We could have just slowed down our journey!"

"By the way, I wonder if we could fight alongside the Tsar Cannon, would it be possible for our artillery fire to directly trigger a bombardment from the Tsar Cannon?"

The players were buzzing with discussion, their eyes gleaming with eager anticipation, seemingly eager to see what amazing feats this new subspace bombardment could produce.

Not only players, but even Andrei is very much looking forward to it.

If such a signal flare really has a chance to summon shells from the Karl mortar, then it would be practically invincible on the battlefield.

As for being able to summon the Tsar Cannon, that's comparable to a tactical nuclear weapon!
To be honest, Andrei now views the Tsar Cannon as a tactical nuclear weapon that can only be fired at close to medium range.

After all, once this thing is fired, it's practically no different from a small nuclear weapon; the scene is beyond description.

At the very least, Andrei had never seen a cannon that could create such a large crater on flat ground with a single shot, and also produce a mushroom cloud.

To be honest, this thing once greatly changed Andrei's perception of the Cambrian Empire's military industrial capabilities, and also made him realize that the world's top powers all have something outrageous to them.

The intruders fired several signal flares to clear the way, followed by heavy fire support from the machine gunner, Ma Niang.

Before the Black Hawk Empire's soldiers could recover from the oppression, the spider mechs had already swiftly climbed onto their positions.

"Damn monster! Die!"

A Black Hawk soldier, holding an anti-armor rifle, cursed through gritted teeth. With a bang, a tungsten-core armor-piercing round shot out and hit the back of the Spider mech.

With a crisp sound, one of the mechanical legs of the spider mech, which was busy making a rapid turn, blocked the armor-piercing bullet that was suddenly fired.

To the surprise of both the player and the Black Hawk soldier, the seemingly slender mechanical leg was completely undamaged, and the armor-piercing bullet was deflected!
What's going on? Are the Spider Mech's mechanical legs really that hard?

"Holy crap, mech parry!"

The player's eyes lit up, and he quickly maneuvered the mech to turn around, using the coaxial machine gun to quickly take down the anti-armor soldier.

He had to admit that the shot he just took really opened his eyes. He never expected that the Spider Mech, with its extremely fragile armor, could actually use its mechanical legs to block!
When Andrei saw what was happening to the players in the chat area, he was also startled by it.

To be honest, he really thought the Spider Mech was a lightweight mech with extremely weak defenses that would be easily penetrated!

But thinking about it, it makes sense; the mechanical legs of this spider mech are already ridiculously strong.

This thing can cut through infantry, drill through tank armor, and climb various terrains.

Clearly, this indicates that the Spider Mech's blade-like mechanical legs possess extremely high hardness, but they must also have sufficient toughness. Otherwise, simply having hardness without toughness would make the thing as brittle as glass.

"I wonder what caliber of shell this thing can actually stop?"

Andrei pondered with a hint of curiosity: what if this thing's blocking was some kind of special conceptual skill? That would be a huge win!

However, he felt that this situation was unlikely to occur. At least the Spider Mech should not have such overpowered skills. This thing was positioned as a multi-functional light mech.

Black Hawk soldiers also used anti-armor rifles to hit the horse girl who was charging at the front.

He thought his shot would be a sure thing, but when he saw the woman who had been shot in the chest only sway slightly and continue charging, he felt as if physics had ceased to exist!
Before he could retreat, the machine gunner on the other side, Ma Niang, also launched a fierce counterattack with her machine gun.

Under a barrage of gunfire, the Black Hawk soldier was riddled with holes, his face so mangled it was impossible to piece it back together.

"That startled me. Didn't you know a machine gunner could withstand two Tank Hunter rounds?"

The player patted the rather large bulge on his chest with lingering fear, only to find that he had patted a layer of hard steel armor.

"Damn! Is this Shark Arm game really not going to give out any perks?"

Seeing this, the player couldn't help but start cursing.

He was also curious as to why the game was so strict about controlling sexual content. He could do such things when he was wearing the breastplate, but after taking it off, he couldn't just touch his breasts randomly anymore.

Damn! This is so boring. I thought this game would occasionally give out some perks!

Despite the criticisms, putting aside the issue of fan service, the game's overall design is actually quite well-integrated; at least the combat scenes are flashy enough.

And most importantly, all the touches and scenes in this game look very realistic.

Although some game features seem like bugs, players haven't actually found any obvious bugs like lag or clipping issues.

The Black Hawk soldiers on the periphery were being rapidly devoured by the rapid reaction force at an alarming pace; almost all of them were struggling to stop the charge.

Whether in ranged or melee combat, Ma Niang demonstrated formidable fighting capabilities.

As cavalry, the female horse riders also possess infantry attributes, so they can use all the weapons that infantry can use.

This naturally includes all sorts of things like machine guns, sniper rifles, AT guns, and grenade launchers.

Because the horse girl has stronger arm strength than ordinary people, she doesn't even need to lie down to set up the AT gun when using it.

From this perspective, the AT tube of the horse girl is almost enough to replace things like the bazooka, although Andrei still hasn't unlocked the bazooka.

Of course, the lightning charge is still an essential part of the strategy!
When the horse girl's speed and higher health are combined with the lightning strike's charge, it becomes a nightmare for all Black Hawk soldiers!

Finally, some Black Hawk soldiers drove out in Peacekeeper mechs, attempting to suppress the charging enemy forces with the Peacekeeper mechs' firepower.

But he watched helplessly as the monster, like a ghost, circled around to his side and charged forward. Even as it was hit by multiple machine gun bullets, it was not hindered and its charging speed did not decrease in the slightest.

At that moment, he finally realized what his senior had said:
On the battlefield, you can always see all sorts of outrageous and bizarre things, especially when fighting against Vorontsov's troops, you can see even more outrageous things!

"Impossible, this is impossible! How could our outer defenses collapse so quickly?"

Colonel Schuderman, looking disheveled, watched the fierce fighting erupt on the periphery, his face filled with a somewhat neurotic panic.

This war had completely taken him by surprise; he had never experienced anything like it before.

At almost every step, the enemy's actions were completely different from what he had imagined; the difference between this force and a normal Cambrian army was simply too great.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why, despite both being Cambrian armies, this army could exhibit such a huge difference.
"Colonel, should we retreat now?"

"At this rate, our outer defenses probably won't hold for long, and the enemy will soon be able to breach this hilltop!"

Just then, an officer suddenly ran up to Colonel Schuderman and said in a hurried tone.

But Colonel Schudman shook his head and refused decisively:

"No, we must hold on!"

"I'm not acting impulsively, but don't forget how mobile this enemy force is!"

Colonel Schuderman pointed to the horse-like creatures that were cruising around in the distance, constantly using heavy firepower to suppress the Black Hawk soldiers, and the incredibly agile spider-like mechs, and said:
"If we retreat from the mountain, we will have no means to defend ourselves when we face the pursuit of this force."

"Only by staying here and holding out can we buy more time. At the very least, their heavy units shouldn't be able to get through."

As he said this, Colonel Schudman glanced at the tanks in the distance, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

Unlike others who believed that mechs were the only way to win, he felt that the tanks under Andrei's command seemed to perform just as well on the battlefield.

If they could possess such vehicles, the Black Hawk Empire's armored forces might face more severe terrain limitations, but their breakthrough capabilities should be significantly enhanced.

"But Colonel, even if we stay here, I'm afraid we can't stop those spider-like mechs from climbing up, can we?"

The Black Hawk officer gave a wry smile, then pointed to several spider mechs rapidly climbing the hillside, seemingly already guessing his fate.

One anti-armor soldier fired a shot that pierced through a spider mech, successfully eliminating the thin-skinned but heavily armored mech.

But at the same time, the 37mm cannons on the other mechs quickly locked onto his position.

A burst of artillery fire, and the rather brave anti-tank soldier was killed on the spot.

"Okay, it seems like mastering the mech blocking technique requires some skill. At the very least, right now it's all down to luck for us."

After eliminating the anti-armor soldier, one player commented:

"I think we should rely on fast movement to make this kind of mech work as a multi-functional light tank, otherwise it's too fragile."

Indeed, aside from tanks and armored vehicles from World War I, the only armored vehicle players have is the Spider Mech, which can be penetrated by conventional anti-tank rifles. However, at the same time, the Spider Mech is also the fastest armored unit players possess, second only to vehicles like three-wheeled motorcycles.

If we categorize it according to World of Tanks, the Spider Mech is clearly a light tank with exceptional mobility, suitable for bursting out targets and stealing enemy fire.

As of now, the player artillery in the rear has ceased operations, and even the invading players have removed their invading templates and switched to other weapons for combat.

Since the players who are currently attacking the mountain are about to get into a melee with the enemy, a sudden large-scale artillery barrage at this time would simply be sending their teammates to their deaths.

In the current terrain, catgirls have become the strongest combat unit in the current version.

The minimap is only one aspect; the most important thing is its climbing ability, which allows the catgirl to always climb up from incredibly difficult angles.

Of course, the Spider Mech is one too.

When several catgirl soldiers and two spider mechs climbed up from behind the rock wall, the Black Hawk soldiers who stayed behind to operate the radio were stunned by what they saw.

No, are you kidding me?

Why do all the other mechs from the Cambrian Empire seem so clumsy, except for the Reindeer Mech, which is slightly better?

But when it came to you, you suddenly came up with this all-terrain mech!

And isn't this "all-terrain" a bit too much?

How did armored units manage to climb up that almost vertical rock face?
Two spider mechs that had sneaked out from behind immediately began a one-sided massacre.

Because all the Black Hawk soldiers' anti-armor forces were deployed on the eastern hillside, no one expected that the enemy would launch an attack from the western cliff, and that there were even armored units that could climb up from there!
Aside from having to watch out for the Black Hawk soldiers charging at them with grenades, the two Spider-Mechs basically didn't need to worry about anything else.

Even the Black Hawk soldiers who charged forward with grenades found it difficult to pose a threat to the two Spider-Mechs.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the spider mech is not stationary but in a state of constant motion, it can achieve its goal.

Then the mech's four blade-like mechanical legs, which move up and down, would be enough to stop any soldier charging at it with grenades.

The gleaming blade flashes by, easily slicing through any approaching enemy, even lightly armored units.

Meanwhile, catgirl players simply became the sixth member of the group, since most of them had also chosen the psionic class.

The more they used the psionic class, the more they realized that, compared to fighting head-on, the ideal way to use this class was to hide in a corner and ambush people.

For example, right now, this cliff is simply the best choice!

They were hanging on the cliff face, so no enemy could attack them.

Using their rock climbing skills, they don't need to do much; they can simply climb up and down the rock face to continuously attack any enemies that appear within range.

Many Black Hawk soldiers who rushed towards this side, preparing to counterattack the two Spider-Mechs, didn't even understand what was happening before they discovered that their comrades beside them had died inexplicably.

When the large group of spider mechs and horse girls charged forward in a frontal attack, they were surprised to find:

The battle is over!
A gang of old men climbed up from behind, stole the enemy's stronghold, occupied their headquarters, and captured all their senior officers!
After all that fuss, they attracted a lot of firepower from the front, but the most valuable fruits of victory ended up in the hands of others!

Players are loudly condemning this extremely inhumane behavior, and some players are even about to start private duels.

Listening to the commotion over there, Andrei couldn't help but start to think about whether he should open up PVP battles between players.

After thinking it over, he decided to forget about it, since it wouldn't help him at all.

From a game perspective, PVP battles can encourage players to spend money, promote competition among players, and better facilitate interaction between players.

But from Andrei's perspective, PVP battles are like letting his soldiers fight a civil war out of boredom. He's just wasting his time, letting his players aid the enemy.

As for using PVP battles to attract players to spend money and then earn more influence points for themselves?
After doing the math, Andrei realized that this was a very unprofitable deal.

Because his flawed system limits the amount players can spend, even with PVP battles enabled, he can't attract wealthy players to spend lavishly here.

Furthermore, given the ruthless intensity of the battles between players, losing tens of thousands of people in a single battle is nothing unusual, and it wouldn't be surprising to lose countless war behemoths like giant rat tanks.

There's no way around it; players don't need to worry about battle losses or life and death. They just need to charge forward.

In reality, if two armies were to disregard all other factors and fight solely to kill each other as quickly as possible, they would also suffer astonishing casualties.

With such losses, Andrei would ultimately be unable to make ends meet, and given the commotion he caused, he would be no longer fit to stay in the Cambrian Empire's system.

Therefore, Andrei didn't hesitate to send a warning to the two players who were about to fight each other, and then assigned them new tasks to keep them away.

Immediately afterwards, Andrei looked at Colonel Schudman, who had just been captured by the players and was currently in a sorry state.

"I heard you're the commander of this Black Hawk unit? What's your name? Colonel Schudman?"

Andrei sat imposingly in a chair in the temporary headquarters, which was established by the Black Hawk Army in this location.

He couldn't help but sneer sarcastically:

"The name is quite good, but why is it that when it comes to actual combat, they lose at the same rate?"

Colonel Schuderman did not understand Chinese, so he was unaware that his name had another meaning despite its similar pronunciation.

But he could tell that the young general from the Cambrian Empire was mocking him without restraint!

"Enough! I know you! Major General Andrei Konstantinovich Vorontsov!"

"The renowned and ever-victorious general, a current combat hero of the Cambrian Empire, and the most typical representative of the young and promising officers of the Cambrian Empire!"

"Do you think that just because you defeated me, you can be arrogant and unrestrained? Do you really think the Black Hawk Empire can be defeated by you?"

"Wake up! The Black Hawk Empire's 600 million-strong army is advancing relentlessly. If needed, we can mobilize another 600 million troops from within the country. The Empire is invincible! Everything you are doing now is courting your own destruction!"

Andrei blinked. It seemed that the Black Hawk Empire was unaware that he had been promoted to lieutenant general. Didn't anyone send the latest issue of the newspaper back to them?

That makes sense. I arrested so many spies in Petrograd before, the remaining Black Hawk spies must be in a state of dormancy for the time being.

In this situation, it's normal for the speed at which these spies transmit intelligence to slow down.

But then again, he really didn't know that the Black Hawk Empire's army, which was currently on the offensive, numbered 600 million.

However, judging from these words, the Black Hawk Empire's population seems to be larger than I imagined, or they have some means to further increase the ratio between civilians and the military.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't see where your 600 million-strong army was. All I saw was you getting utterly defeated!"

"You think the Black Hawk Empire has a large population? The Cambrian Empire has an even larger population! Just wait, this war won't last more than a few years, and the Black Hawk Empire will suffer a crushing defeat!"

After saying this, Andrei ordered a group of female soldiers to tie up several Black Hawk officers and then had the soldiers carry them directly to Petrograd.

He couldn't be bothered to waste words with these officers. If they wanted to extract any information, that was the responsibility of the special forces, and he could just take credit for it later.

But just then, Colonel Schuderman, who was about to be dragged away by the players, shouted again:
"Vorontsov, wait! Aren't you willing to hear the terms the Empire is willing to offer you?"

"Prior to this, your other lieutenant general, Krasov, had already formally surrendered to the Empire, and he is very willing to cooperate with the Empire!"

As he said this, a smug look appeared in Colonel Schudman's eyes.

"The Empire has promised that if Lieutenant General Krasov can demonstrate enough value to persuade more Cambrians to abandon their darkness and embrace the light, then we can later bestow upon him the title of Duke of Belarus!"

"The same goes for you. If you are willing to pledge allegiance to the Black Hawk Empire, I believe that with your talent, you will surely become the sharpest sword in His Majesty's hand, and His Majesty will definitely grant you better treatment!"

"Although I am not in a position to make such a promise, I believe that if you are willing to pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, the title of Duke of Novgorod will be within your grasp!"

However, Andrei remained unmoved by Colonel Schuderman's words.

"Drag him away, drag him away! Don't let this mentally challenged guy lower my IQ!"

"I don't know if he can be a duke, but I do know that idiot Krasov is nothing but a dog, yet he insists on treating his dog tag as an honor!"

"No matter how glorious traitors may be, they will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of historical shame in the future!"

Watching Colonel Schuderman being dragged away, quickly bound like a dumpling by the players, and then casually tossed onto a horse by a female player, who then galloped away, Andrei sneered twice.

Wu Sangui seemed to be doing quite well, even becoming a prince, but what was the end result?
Everyone knew he was a traitor, nobody liked him, and in the end he was nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

If he were to defect to the Black Hawk Empire, not to mention what would happen to his various relationships within the Cambrian Empire, he didn't believe the Black Hawk Empire would truly trust a traitor.

In the end, all he did was run off to be someone else's dog.

"...Speaking of which, the current Tsar is quite abstract; that guy doesn't really treat the Vorontsov family as human beings."

Just then, Andrei recalled the Tsar's wariness of the Vorontsov family, and he couldn't help but curl his lip.

In other words, the Tsar hasn't taken any substantial action yet, only vaguely showing the potential to be a liability. Coupled with the imminent threat of a major enemy, he's not planning to cause any trouble.

When he finally succeeds in becoming a marshal, he will put on a show of not eating beef in front of the Tsar!
Too lazy to think about these issues, Andrei only wants to think about himself now. He needs to acquire enough capital to truly make a living before worrying about anything else.

After roughly cleaning up the battlefield, Andrei pointed to a Wasp cannon that, although unable to fire, was still relatively intact and said:

"Let's drag this thing back to Petrograd and see if we can figure something out from it?"

"There's really nothing of value in studying it. At worst, we can just sell it to Moscow. This can be considered the first time we've captured enemy self-propelled artillery, right?"

If it were any other soldier, they would surely be overjoyed to hear of this first honor.

Unfortunately, Andrei's group of players were basically oblivious to this.

"Continue the attack and rescue our allies as quickly as possible! Don't stop!"

"Speed ​​is of the essence at this moment, and we must make full use of our speed."

As soon as Andrei finished speaking, he ordered the players to continue marching and advance at maximum speed into the distance!

At his current speed, he will soon reach the encirclement.

However, as the army advanced, Andrei deliberately left behind a group of players, instructing them to quickly build a field airfield.

As he continued his advance, the airport, originally located in Petrograd, became too far away.

Setting up a field airfield here would greatly improve the air force's operational efficiency.

Andrei was advancing, while other Cambrian and Black Hawk armies were engaged in chaotic fighting. Meanwhile, within the Black Hawk Empire, a heated debate was taking place in the General Staff.

General Franz, serving as Chief of the Imperial General Staff, slammed his fist on the table and roared at the young officers before him:
"Enough! Have you all gone mad? Is the Empire going to completely abandon all moral boundaries for the sake of this war?"

"We are just waging a war, not a contest of who can go the lowest. What's the point of continuing to fight like this in the end?"

But no sooner had General Franz finished speaking than one of the younger officers, a major general, retorted without any hesitation:

"General, if I may be so bold, your war thinking is somewhat outdated. The war that the Empire is currently waging is a war that will completely change the fate of the Empire and the world, a war that requires us to gamble everything!"

"The Empire still has a lot of untapped war potential. If that's the case, why don't we tap into that potential?"

At this point, he slammed his hand on a project plan on the table and said:

"We can fully utilize the Necromancer Factory mode, allowing a large number of necromancers to completely liberate the Black Hawk Empire's workforce. At that time, we can devote all our resources to the war effort without having to worry about production!"

"At the same time, if we let abyss mages summon demons and, like the Nightless Empire, activate the demon engine, then the empire will free up a large number of mages who are working as magic miners!"

"The Empire's mages are all outstanding talents, but too many of them are wasting their time creating energy cores. We can use the Demon Engine to make the war machines unleash even stronger energy and have even greater performance!"

Many generals in the General Staff were horrified by such a plan.

They do want to win this war, but that doesn't mean they want the Black Hawk Empire to become a country teeming with the undead and crawling with demons.

They were stunned when they learned that the Nightless Empire had actually started large-scale production of demon engines in order to compete with them.

Are the demons in the seven levels of hell so easily enslaved?

However, they always felt something was very strange.

According to the monitoring of the Imperial Mages, although the Nightless Empire is mass-producing Demon Engines, they have not detected any obvious changes in the Seven Hells.

The demons located in the seventh level of hell remain as difficult to summon as ever.

It's as if the endless creation of demon engines by the Nightless Empire isn't a demon summoned from the seventh level of hell.

This left many abyss mages puzzled and somewhat uneasy.

"...Enough. You can report these plans to the Emperor and see if His Majesty is willing to agree to these absurd things?"

"I simply cannot understand how a scoundrel like you could appear among the Empire's soldiers?"

General Franz's eyes flashed with anger; he simply couldn't believe that the soldiers of the Empire would completely lose their humanity for the sake of war.

But the young officer in front of him slammed a report on the table and roared:
"You call me a scoundrel? Please, General, open your eyes and look at the world. Look at what this world has become!"

"The Empire of No Night is in full-scale production of demon engines, and the Constellation United States has made a complete breakthrough in the artificial womb technology that it has been researching, and plans to create a clone army!"

"The Cambrian Empire's technology is developing at an unimaginable speed, their living saints are still wreaking havoc on the battlefield, the power of various churches is expanding, and even their Tsar has launched a secret research project called the Eagle of the Empire!"

"Even though the Iris Empire has been defeated, their army has chosen to continue resisting in the colonies and has even begun researching enchanted warriors!"

"The Northern Qing Empire has created an unimaginably terrifying war machine, which is expanding at an unstoppable speed, and is simply a poisonous dragon full of deadly venom!"

"This world has gone mad. Everyone is going crazy without restraint. If we don't go mad with them, are you going to just stand by and watch the great cause of the empire collapse?"

"The Empire has already gambled enough on this war. In that case, why can't we keep betting and push the scales of victory completely to our side?"

(End of this chapter)
