The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 276 Oh no, the Thousand Sons Legion has popped out of subspace!

“Miss Jeanne, we have a brand new mission coming up, and your Thousand Sons Legion has the opportunity to be deployed.”

Upon arriving at Jeanne's residence, Andrei produced a transfer order and said:
"The Black Hawk Empire has once again mobilized an army to attack Volkhov, intending to seize its important transportation hub. We must provide support there as quickly as possible; at the very least, we must get there before the Grand Duke arrives."

After reading the transfer order that Andrei had produced, Jeanne nodded.

"Why would your Grand Duke Constantine suddenly appear at this time?"

"To be honest, I always felt like he was just causing trouble by coming here..."

Seeing that there was no one else there, only Andrei, who was someone she could trust, Jeanne couldn't help but complain under her breath.

In her view, the prince's insistence on going to Petrograd during this time of war was purely a political show with no real significance.

His personal guards were of no use in the vast battlefield of Petrograd, and he himself was no military genius; he was just a mascot here.

In fact, Petrograd had to mobilize even more troops to protect the prince, which seemed like a bad deal no matter how you looked at it.

"There's no other way, we just need to execute the orders, we don't need to think about all that."

Andrei shrugged, not intending to say much more to Jeanne, this foreigner.

The reasons why the second prince suddenly drove towards Petrograd are somewhat complicated, but none of it has anything to do with them.

It's unclear whether the Black Hawk Army launched a new raid by chance or learned of the Second Prince's whereabouts. Judging from their posture, they might very well ambush him on the way.

As of now, the Cambrian Empire is unlikely to continue sending troops to support Volkhov, so the defenses there are quite weak.

In fact, if we follow the original Black Hawk team's attack route, they never intended to capture Volkhov.

The most important aspect of this transportation hub is its connection between Petrograd and Moscow.

Apart from that, this transportation hub is not of great importance.

According to the original plan, the Black Hawk Army intended to first capture Schlüsselburg, a town near Petrograd, and then, after controlling this transportation hub, completely surround Petrograd.

Unfortunately, because Andrei's army had been putting up a fierce resistance in Schlüsselburg and repelling many enemy attacks, the Black Hawk Army had to temporarily halt its offensive there.

In contrast, Volkhov appears to be in greater danger.

Jeanne's army can be mobilized at any time, and Andrei's army can also be mobilized quickly, because he doesn't need to bring too many troops this time either.

The enemy didn't deploy Titans or organize large-scale battles; their side only needed players to take action.

Even now, Andrei's other troops are still busy resting and regrouping.

These soldiers were mostly disbanded from their units on the battlefield and then became part of Andrei's troops. They had suffered considerable trauma in the previous war.

Therefore, they need time to adjust and to work together. Even though Andrei has always been in a hurry, he can't speed things up.

To be honest, he had actually considered sending players over as instructors to give these soldiers a thorough training session.

However, he only thought about the idea briefly before giving up on it.

Compared to players acting as instructors, the Cambrian Empire's original training system was actually more scientific and reliable. Many Cambrian veterans who had come from the battlefield did not need to undergo any simple military training.

As for specific tactics, the tactics played by players are basically impossible to replicate. Even if they were to teach these ordinary Cambrian soldiers step by step, they would not be able to learn them.

After all, no matter how much the Cambrian soldiers study, they will find it difficult to understand the players' outrageous and reckless tactics.

They have neither the player's resurrection ability nor the player's physical abilities, so it's impossible for them to replicate the player's actions.

During this operation, Andrei took one of his two P1000 giant rats with him, along with the armored train from the other side.

This time, the armored train he brought was not the same one as before, but another one that had undergone extensive modifications and was equipped with many cannons.

During this period, the armored train, which had already been converted into a land battleship, underwent another round of modifications.

The various siege guns originally mounted on the armored trains were all replaced with the latest 203mm howitzers, and several carriages were also mounted with Katyusha rocket launchers.

Looking at this rather abstract artillery vehicle, Andrei couldn't help but offer a moment of silence for the Black Hawk Army.

At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at the locomotive power of the armored train. He never expected that this thing could pull so many carriages without slowing down!
This is probably one of the more bizarre features of the game, right?

Theoretically speaking, Andrei shouldn't have needed to bring the P1000 giant rat this time, but he planned to take it out for a spin and test its newly modified mode.

The players' approach was quite abstract; they successfully tucked the shield generator behind the p1000 giant rat's turret, and then squeezed the mobile shrine behind the shield generator.

To solve the problem of the choir having nowhere to sing, they also provided the choir with a platform, which happened to be located on top of the shield generator.

At the same time, they also built an extra platform on the mobile shrine and equipped it with a series of anti-aircraft guns of various calibers.

They even mounted four rocket launchers on both sides of the vehicle, arming it from head to toe and making it look much larger!
When Andrei saw the giant rat tank that had been modified to look like a mille-feuille hamburger, he was completely stunned. What kind of post-apocalyptic punk monster was this?

However, although this thing has been modified to be extremely abstract, it still seems to be able to operate normally, and the speed has not changed. It's just that you have to be careful when the turret is rotating, and the player has to pull the shield generator back first before it can rotate.

This abstract transformation not only shocked Andrei, but even Joan of Arc, who had just seen the enormous chariot, showed an extremely surprised expression.

"Your Cambrian Empire's technology... something seems a little off?"

Jeanne frowned, seemingly trying to figure out what strange technology was used in this thing, but she quickly gave up on the idea.

Ultimately, she was just an ordinary civilian in the Iris Empire, who gained the ability to win every battle because of that special revelation.

Expecting her to research anything related to military technology is wishful thinking.

"There's nothing we can do. The Cambrian Empire's industrial level has never been very good, so our manufacturing and modification capabilities are just so-so."

"But in any case, this tank is indeed usable and has pretty good combat capabilities, which is enough."

Andrei defended the players, saying that although he didn't have much faith in their skills, he had great faith in his system's amazing engineer skills.

Who knows what kind of nonsense the players actually pulled off?
But anyway, this thing is like the Green Skin's "I Think Power"—it might look unreliable, but you'll know once you use it.

When the enormous P1000 giant rat drove off again, all the Cambrian Empire citizens who witnessed this scene cheered.

Prior to this, Andrei had not noticed that there was an unusually wide road in downtown Petrograd.

He didn't notice at first and thought it was some kind of special main road. Later he learned that this road was reserved specifically for the Titans.

Now, the P1000 giant rats also use this road when navigating, finally avoiding damaging the fence of the Vorontsov Estate.

Back then, when Andrei returned and found his estate crushed by tanks, he was given a good scolding by the general.

According to the general, this wasn't just pressing down on their family's fence, but on the dignity of the Vorontsov family!
However, considering the circumstances at the time, Andrei always felt that he was actually venting his shock, just finding an excuse to let it out.

Andrei's troops quickly boarded the vehicles and set off together with the P1000 giant rats.

But when he turned around, he saw that the Thousand Sons Legion was running alongside the main force, while Jeanne herself was riding a horse, wearing light armor, looking just like a knight.

"I said, are you sure you don't need to find a special fleet of vehicles to transport these [Red Letter Warriors]?"

Andrei rode his horse over and looked at the powered armored soldiers running forward, feeling that they were somewhat abstract.

Of course, when he uttered the term "Scarlet Warrior," he only felt that the scene became more abstract.

He never dreamed that after transmigrating to this world, he would actually have the opportunity to fight alongside the Thousand Sons Legion. He could only say that the Big Blue Bird was really awesome!
“No need. My soldiers don’t have physical bodies, so they don’t get tired. And the energy source for their power armor comes from a peculiar space.”

At this point, Jeanne even pulled out the battle flag, seemingly preparing to demonstrate it to Andrei, but Andrei quickly stopped her.

No, please don't! He didn't want to suddenly look directly into the subspace here!

This is unbelievable! I never thought this world had a subspace. He didn't want to drill a hole in the real universe just to see what a cesspool looks like; he'd have nightmares.

"Alright, you Cambrian people are really closed-minded and conservative. This isn't some kind of witchcraft, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Seeing Andrei's horrified expression, Jeanne put away the flag somewhat unhappily and couldn't help but complain.

Clearly, from the perspective of the Iris people, the Cambrian Empire was a purely ignorant, backward, and feudal country.

From the Cambrian perspective, the neighboring Iris Empire was nothing more than a chaotic mess, with a bunch of reactionaries gathering there daily, their abstract behaviors difficult for the Cambrians to comprehend.

Andrei gave a dry laugh and shrugged.

Saintess, you only think the environment of the Warp is good now.

When you turn around and actually see some monsters and demons in the warp, I'm sure you'll hide from them even more than I do.

For some reason, he now felt that the saintess in front of him was somewhat like a sunburned Oglin, another unlucky guy who had been tricked and crippled by the big blue bird.

Damn it, the Bluebird has done so many bad things!

Speaking of the atmosphere of the Iris Empire, the atmosphere of the Iris Empire in this world is actually quite similar to that of France on Earth.

Although Andrei didn't understand why the Iris Empire here was later ruled by the Bourbon dynasty.
But this place did indeed witness a major revolution, and it has always been a revolutionary base area!

Considering the chaotic regime changes in the Iris Empire, Andrei wasn't surprised.

Who knows when the Bourbon dynasty will be restored?
This kind of thing has happened before in history, but it was quickly overturned.

As Andrei and his men marched quickly, he suddenly noticed that a red-letter soldier seemed to have fallen to the ground in the distance for some unknown reason.

"Your soldier seems to have fallen. What happened to him?"

Andrei pointed into the distance, reminding Jeanne.

"Oh, that? Don't worry, it's just a mechanical malfunction. I'll go over and fix it up a bit!"

As she spoke, Jeanne rode her horse quickly over and stood before the fallen Red Letter warrior.

Andrei had originally intended to recommend one of his engineer players to her, but after seeing Jeanne's actions, he became somewhat curious.

I wonder how this saintess plans to repair her red-letter warrior?
That said, this was the first time he'd ever heard of a Red Letter Warrior getting stuck due to a mechanical malfunction! He never expected these puppet warriors to have such a weakness!

To Andrei's astonishment, Jeanne pulled out the large banner and began to whip the fallen red-letter warriors on the ground.

The flag, shimmering with delicate blue flames, instantly dismantled the power armor, smashing it into a pile of broken parts.

"I said... are you sure this is a repair?"

As soon as Andrei finished speaking, Jeanne suddenly drew her longsword from her waist, wiped it with her hand, and a string of somewhat distorted characters appeared.

Fortunately, all Cambrian nobles were required to learn the Iris language, and they even used it almost like their mother tongue, communicating in various formal occasions and salon gatherings.

Therefore, Andrei was able to recognize that the text above seemed to contain the following:

Everything is going according to plan!

Good heavens, it really is a Bluebird! Its stubbornness is outrageous!

No matter what terrible things happened to the Treachery faction, they would stubbornly insist that everything was in the plan!
Jeanne plunged the sword deep into a shard of power armor, then shouted:

"Soldiers, rise up! Your journey is not over yet!"

In the next moment, a large amount of psionic flames erupted, and the power armor, which had been shattered into pieces, was restored at an astonishing speed, returning to its original state.

"Done! See? That's how the Red Letter Warrior takes care of things!"

Jeanne gave Andrei a bright smile, while Andrei felt his expression become even more stiff.

Damn, this way of repairing it... he can only say it's truly ingenious!
Suddenly, Andrei heard the sound of engines, and then saw several Mosquito bombers fly overhead.

Upon seeing this, Jeanne's eyes lit up with curiosity, and she asked with great interest:

"What is that? It looks like a bird, how can it fly so fast?"

"When did your Cambrian Empire quietly develop such a flying machine?"

Andrei glanced at the bombers in the distance and casually remarked:
"Airplanes, a type of flying machine that is completely different from airships, but very useful in combat, will inevitably become the mainstream of future warfare, at least until airships undergo further changes."

In fact, the airships in this world are also very useful, because they have an exceptionally high carrying capacity, whether due to magical enhancements or something else.

With the addition of the Void Shield, this thing is no different from an airborne warship, and it is very effective for large-scale bombing, transport, or airdrops.

From the perspective of air combat, those airships were indeed somewhat outdated, much like a battleship facing a fighter jet at sea.

Even though its surface can be equipped with a large amount of firepower, it is still too passive in the face of the agility of aircraft.

Thinking about this, Andrei suddenly realized that the Red Letter Warriors could be used as paratroopers!
This thing isn't afraid of being dropped. As long as Jeanne herself is alright, even if all these red-letter warriors are thrown on the ground and smashed to pieces, they can be quickly restored.

Good grief, what kind of clone of the Undead Legion is this? How come it's almost the same as our own players?
Several Black Hawk units are launching attacks on the city from different directions around the city of Volkhov.

In the sky, at least three large airship formations were simultaneously launching a fierce bombardment of the city.

"General Bush, isn't it a bit of an overreaction for us to concentrate so many troops to attack this place?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but the Empire has absolutely no need to waste so much of its strength here. Even if we only use one-third of our army, we can still crush the Cambrian garrison here."

Beside Major General Bush, an aide couldn't help but ask a question.

He could understand that the Empire seemed to be undertaking some important military operation that required blocking this transportation hub, so they needed to be on the safe side.

But he couldn't understand why the Empire's military operation this time was so overly cautious. Insurance isn't operated like this, is it?

With so many troops piled up here all at once, what is this if not a waste?
Even if they deployed mostly auxiliary troops to avoid affecting the offensive on other fronts, it was still a huge waste!
"Heh, you think it's a waste? That's because your eyes are only on Volkhov, not the rest." General Bush chuckled, then pointed to the map and said:

"It was precisely because we deployed such a large force this time that the Petrograd Front sent that ever-victorious general to support Volkhov."

"But they didn't expect that right after this victorious general left, we would launch an attack on Schlüsselburg, cut off his retreat in one fell swoop, and trap him here to die!"

"If we operate properly, we can annihilate that invincible general here this time. It's time for us to avenge our defeat!"

At this point, General Bush broke into a fervent smile, like a hunter spotting his most prized prey.

Throughout this war, the Black Hawk Army has been invincible, but it has been repeatedly defeated by that ever-victorious general, and even the two Titan Legions have suffered losses to varying degrees.

This was unacceptable to the empire, especially since it significantly reduced their deterrent power, which infuriated His Majesty the Emperor.

They need to wipe out Cambrian in one fell swoop through a devastating war, not fight a war of attrition here.

Therefore, they not only want to defeat the enemy, but also to crush their morale and make them believe that the Black Hawk Empire is invincible!

Since that general has now become a pillar of the Cambrian Empire's spirit, let him die!

Encircle and annihilate his army here, capture him, and then thoroughly humiliate the Cambrian Empire!

This is the purpose of their battle: the strong must thoroughly humiliate the weak!
Upon seeing several bombers suddenly flying towards them from a distance, the anti-aircraft guns that had been set up in advance immediately began to bombard them.

However, the players' maneuvering of these fighter jets is extremely skillful, making it difficult for them to achieve effective hits.

As shells exploded one after another in the sky, the planes continued to soar overhead, which made many Black Hawk officers grit their teeth in anger.

"Too fast, far too fast! Why don't we have an aircraft like this?"

One of the staff officers couldn't help but complain:

"I'm really speechless. The Empire invests so much money in the air force every year, but its experts can't even compare to these backward feudal lords of the Cambrian Empire. The weapons they develop are not as advanced as these guys'!"

"If the Empire is willing to invest all of these military funds into the army, I believe the Empire will be able to arm more armored forces!"

However, after hearing this, General Bush shook his head and said:

"This cannot be blamed on our air force. After all, these aircraft seem to have sprung up out of nowhere. We have never heard of them before, and even other countries are seeing them for the first time."

"Who could have predicted this? If we didn't have an air force, we wouldn't have been able to launch a blitzkrieg. A blitzkrieg requires the coordinated efforts of the air force and armored forces!"

Compared to some of the conservative forces within the army, General Bush was relatively enlightened.

In his view, war requires the cooperation of different branches of the armed forces, and no war can be won by a single unit.

Therefore, he always believed that senior officers of the Empire must understand multi-service coordinated operations, rather than being proficient in only one aspect.

The classification of officers into categories like army, air force, and even artillery and cavalry officers is too narrow and does not align with their wartime strategy.

"Hmph, looks like these guys are pretty proud of their air force?"

"Send out the Abyss Mages! Use Vicious Shot spells and take them all down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several abyss mages who were already prepared simultaneously used the Vicious Shot spell.

The Black Hawk Empire never expected that such a spell, which they originally thought was quite obscure and unpopular and that there was no need to learn it, would actually become a crucial move!
Before this, they had never encountered an enemy that conventional artillery could not hit; at most, they had encountered enemies that their artillery was not powerful enough to penetrate.

After the previous battle was reported, several army group commanders immediately gathered all the mages who knew this spell and had them join the air defense forces.

The air defense forces were overjoyed. With so many mages joining them, their force instantly became much more luxurious.

A series of shells, seemingly of extreme mystical nature, were fired, instantly bringing down several bombers in the sky.

The burning bomber spun as it plummeted to the ground, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

Some bombers even detonated their bombs, causing violent explosions.

However, most players chose to parachute before the plane crashed. For them, parachuting was just a matter of thought, and it was almost impossible for them to get stuck on the plane and fall to their deaths.

The players were surprised that, despite their continuous zigzagging and dodging of the shells, the shells seemed to have eyes and struck them directly on their flight path.

"Damn! This is a cheat! This is clearly a cheat!"

One player started cursing and pointed at an NPC in the distance, gesturing wildly.

This is outrageous! What kind of nonsense is this?
A shell with a 100% hit rate, is that alright?

Some players also noticed the anti-aircraft guns with a green glow on their surface and couldn't help but ponder it.

Judging from this, it seems to be some kind of evil spell. I wonder what kind of mess the Black Hawk's battle mages can come up with.
After eliminating the enemy, artillerymen operating anti-aircraft machine guns immediately tried to kill all the parachuting pilots.

But at that moment, an officer stopped them.

"Don't be impulsive, capture their pilot alive!"

"The Empire desperately needs specific data on enemy aircraft. If we can capture them alive and extract this data from them, the Empire's aircraft development will make great progress!"

The officer shouted excitedly, gesturing wildly.

To date, the biggest obstacle preventing the Black Hawk Empire from developing an aircraft is their inability to create a suitable aerodynamic structure.

They have no problem with the engine. As long as they remove the power unit from the walking machine, they can guarantee that the machine will have plenty of power and can skip World War I aircraft and go straight into World War II!
But after studying it for a long time, they found that the planes they made always disintegrated in mid-air.

This is very troublesome. If their testers hadn't been experienced and skilled in parachuting, many of their pilots might have already been killed in the crash.

Several squads of Black Hawk pilots immediately ran toward the pilots in the distance, attempting to capture them alive.

However, these pilots seemed to have parachuted into the city and landed behind a building.

The Black Hawk soldiers, who were about to charge forward, stopped, unsure whether they should venture deeper into the city.

"Keep the attack going! We'll provide mortar cover for you. Make sure you capture them alive!"

When the officer saw them stop, he shouted loudly from behind, his eyes filled with a desire to earn merit.

In his opinion, these pilots only had some small pistols for self-defense, and they hadn't received any land combat training, so what kind of combat capability could they have?

Even if they manage to hide inside buildings, they're just lambs to the slaughter; the Empire's elite soldiers will soon find them all.

The other Black Hawk soldiers thought the same thing, and then they were all killed.

The first ten-man squad that rushed in engaged in a chaotic firefight inside the building, with gunfire ringing out incessantly.

Hearing such a loud commotion, the other Black Hawk soldiers outside changed their expressions drastically, because the squad they had gone in did not carry such heavy firepower!

The gunfire stopped shortly afterward.

But then, a grenade was suddenly thrown out of the building, landing right in their group and instantly blowing two people away.

"Damn it, all our men have been wiped out!"

"How is that possible? Are all the Cambrian Empire's pilots elite soldiers transferred from the army?"

Some Black Hawk soldiers looked on incredulously, wondering what had gotten into the Cambrian Empire that allowed its pilots to have such strong combat capabilities!

But in fact, when it comes to land combat, the Cambrian Empire's pilots were indeed the most skilled pilots among all nations.

There was no other way, because the Cambrian Empire's air force was established relatively late, and they didn't have any particularly good air force concepts.

Therefore, the earliest batch of air force personnel were selected from elite soldiers in the army and then incorporated into the air force. This also resulted in a significant portion of Cambrian air force training being based on army training models.

Even without these players, the Cambrian Empire's air force still possesses formidable ground combat capabilities.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the Cambrian Empire's army has the weakest land combat capability, while the other branches of the armed forces have stronger land combat capabilities than the army!
More Black Hawk soldiers rushed in, and some even had flamethrowers ready.

At this point, they no longer considered whether they could capture him alive.

The enemy has already resisted to this extent. They can't possibly sacrifice hundreds of people and then capture them alive with human lives, can they?

Although the Black Hawk Empire desperately needs to capture enemy pilots alive, they certainly care more about the lives of their own soldiers, otherwise the soldiers might rebel.

As soon as they rushed in, a barrage of bullets swept in from around the corner, instantly riddling the Black Hawk soldier who led the charge with bullets.

The other Black Hawk soldiers were stunned for a moment, their expressions freezing.

They didn't understand how the enemy had anticipated their movements.
That burst of gunfire just now was as if they had anticipated their charge and then set up guns to block them.

Several grenades were thrown, causing a series of explosions. Immediately afterwards, Black Hawk soldiers launched an attack under the cover of smoke.

They rushed to the corner, only to find no one there. They were slightly disappointed but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But just then, a gun barrel suddenly emerged from the room around the corner, followed by a burst of bullets.

"Damn it! Those cunning rats!"

One of the sergeants, caught up in the moment, called out to the others behind him and led them all to charge upwards.

But before he could rush in, the sergeant suddenly groaned and collapsed to the ground.

Then, like a chain reaction, soldiers fell one after another.

This bizarre scene completely terrified the Black Hawk soldiers.

The pilot player suddenly switched to the psionic class and then hid in the shadows, beginning his journey of ambushing others.

He discovered that while judging the enemy's movements through the minimap and then navigating the maze-like corridors was indeed a viable strategy, it was also a viable tactic.

However, compared to other options, it's still more enjoyable to use a psionicist with a minimap, because this combination is purely mindless.

One Black Hawk soldier after another fell, while the remaining Black Hawk soldiers trembled with fear, desperately trying to find the enemy's hiding place.

But it was as if the enemy was playing hide-and-seek with them. They could vaguely hear the enemy's footsteps as they ran, but they just couldn't find where the enemy was hiding!
Just then, the pilot player suddenly had a brilliant idea.

He was curious to see what would happen if he suddenly experienced a psionic overload in a confined space like a building and summoned a warp demon.
I wonder if what he did will turn the entire building into a chaotic demon realm, killing all the Black Hawk soldiers who rushed in.
After removing the special badge of the Inquisition, the player immediately began using psionic spells, quickly pushing his crisis level above 100%.

The next moment, he entered a state of psionic chaos, his entire body exploded with a bang, and then tore open a subspace portal out of thin air.

However, this time, he didn't seem to summon a demon, but rather some other strange things.

During the march, Andrei watched the players' insults and roughly figured out the enemy's latest tricks:
"Good heavens, he can even conjure spells with a 100% hit rate. What can't the amazing Black Hawk Mage do?"

Andrei couldn't help but complain. He was a little worried about what would happen if the Black Hawk Empire suddenly developed ballistic missiles and then added this spell to them.
If this is done, then the Black Hawk Empire will have no need to develop computers to assist in the trajectory calculation of ballistic missiles!
Without a doubt, if the opponent uses a Vicious Shot spell in advance, their ballistic missiles will have a 100% hit rate. This is something that is truly impossible to defend against!
"Damn it, please don't let the Black Hawk Empire develop the V2 rocket, or how will we ever get around to this?"

Andrei couldn't help but want to curse. He suddenly felt a chill on the top of his head, fearing that one day, while the battle was going well here, a missile would fall from the sky and blow him to pieces!
But just then, Joan of Arc, riding a horse in the distance, suddenly ran over again.

"Andrei, I suddenly sensed a strange coordinate. It seems I can teleport there with my troops!"

Andrei didn't understand at first, thinking that the saint had received some inexplicable revelation again.

"Sis, let's not wander off! There's still a war going on here!"

"I don't mean I want to run away. What I mean is, I suddenly discovered a coordinate in the Volkhov region, and it seems like I can teleport people there!"

As she spoke, Jeanne took out the map and pointed it out to him.

"It's roughly around here in the city; my Thousand Sons Legion can arrive instantly!"

Good grief, what's going on now?
Andrei blinked, not understanding what was going on with Jeanne's inexplicable teleportation.

However, after thinking about it, he nodded and decided to let her lead the people there first.

This is a good opportunity to let her Thousand Sons Legion test the waters in Volkhov and study the enemy's combat strength.
Anyway, all these red-letter warriors can revive Jeanne. As long as Jeanne doesn't die, these red-letter warriors won't die either. They're practically the perfect cannon fodder!
Under the watchful eyes of Andrei and the other players, Jeanne drew the sword engraved with words, slashed it in front of her, and a huge rainbow-colored vortex appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, she took the lead and rushed inside, and the other red-letter warriors quickly lined up and followed her through, soon disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, a group of players were constantly exclaiming in surprise, all marveling at how they had encountered Tzeentch!
Good heavens, tore open a subspace portal with a flick of his wrist, what a ruthless person he is?
This new female NPC seems to have something special about her!
The other players hid inside the building, dealing with the Black Hawk soldiers while excitedly watching the spot where the psionic player had died.

They had already seen the torn warp gate, and now they were eager to know what would emerge from it. Could it be that it had summoned the ever-changing Demon Lord?
But the next moment, they saw a female knight in light blue armor ride out, sword in one hand and flag in the other, shouting:

"The Iris Empire will never surrender; freedom belongs to the people!"

Immediately afterwards, a large group of powered armored soldiers rushed out and quickly formed combat formations, launching a counter-offensive along the corridor.

"Holy crap! Is this right? This can't be right, can it? How did that female NPC who was always following our general suddenly burst out of the warp?"

"What's wrong with that? Opening a warp gate and summoning the Legion of a Thousand Sons isn't exactly a rare thing, is it?"

"Alright, alright, we've finally managed to replicate a Warhammer Chaos Invasion. But why are we on the Chaos side?"

A group of players watched the scene unfold with excitement, eager for more drama and anticipating the ensuing bloodshed.

But at the same time, the new squad of Black Hawk soldiers who had just rushed in were all dumbfounded.

"Damn it! Where did they come from?"

"Your Majesty, there's an ambush here! When did so many Iris Empire power armored soldiers set up an ambush here?"

The squad that had just rushed in glanced at the rifles and submachine guns in their hands, then looked at the metal cans that were crowded in the corridor in front of them, numbering at least several hundred people. They felt completely overwhelmed!

How are they supposed to fight this thing? Are they supposed to just charge in with bayonets?
