The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 301 We are no longer soldiers, but monsters
"Listen to the commander, fight them!"

When the Cambrian soldiers were driven to the brink of despair, they unleashed their final act of courage.

If we continue to retreat, the enemy might actually advance into Petrograd.

A perfectly good counterattack turned into an accident, with the enemy driving them into Petrograd. This outcome was absolutely unacceptable to them!
At that moment, all the Cambrian soldiers on the entire position were determined to die. They were like madmen, launching a counterattack against the Black Hawk soldiers who had stormed into the position.

They knew that these enemies dressed in special black clothes were unkillable monsters, and their bullets were completely useless against them.

But they refused to believe it. Did they think that if they took grenades and charged at the enemy mechs in the same way they would destroy them, they could still kill them?

Cambrian soldiers, armed with grenades or explosive charges, charged forward, letting out desperate, defiant roars. To the astonishment of the Black Hawk soldiers, they relentlessly pounced on the enemy.

To be honest, even the soldiers in the Resurrection Legion had never seen such a reckless fighting style before.

When they attacked the Iris Empire before, they thought the street fighting in Paris was already brutal enough.

Even then, they had never seen an Iris soldier like this, charging forward with a bomb, ready to take them down with him!

For the first time, the undead soldiers who were attacking retreated.

Although they are undead and not afraid of enemy bullets, they would still be doomed if they were blown to pieces or blasted into mincemeat.

All the undead soldiers felt that there was no need for them to fight these lunatics head-on!
The best course of action is to retreat first and then use firepower to block them!

Upon seeing the enemy's undead soldiers begin to slowly retreat, the Cambrian soldiers' shouts of "Hurrah!" grew even louder.

They roared and chased after them. One soldier detonated a grenade on the spot, dying together with the last enemy.

At the same time, Black Hawk soldiers rushed over with machine guns and began to fire fiercely at the crowd.

These Black Hawk soldiers are all powered by necromancy, and their stamina is virtually limitless.

Although they retained their sanity after being resurrected as ghouls, their bodies had undoubtedly been transformed into a special state.

This not only allowed them to maintain their mobility by eating corpses on the battlefield or consuming large amounts of raw meat.

At the same time, because they are unaware of pain and their bodies possess extremely high regenerative capabilities, they can unleash power far exceeding what they had in life.

For this reason, all the ghoul soldiers wore heavy breastplates, in order to keep their bodies as intact as possible and avoid being torn to pieces by the enemy.

At the same time, many soldiers simply carried heavy machine guns, bearing these weapons that weighed dozens of kilograms, and unleashed fierce fire on the crowd in front of them.

They didn't care that some of their comrades were blocking their way; all they wanted was to kill all the Cambrian soldiers who were charging at them.

Anyway, their comrades weren't going to be killed by heavy machine guns. After some repairs, their injuries would heal completely in no time.

Under continuous machine gun fire, the Cambrian soldiers who had just charged forward suffered heavy casualties.

Cambrian soldiers roared and tried desperately to rush to the Black Hawk soldiers, but they eventually fell to the machine gun fire of the Black Hawk soldiers.

A heavy-duty explosive charge was thrown at us by a strong soldier. Upon seeing this, a ghoul soldier immediately pounced on the ground and pinned the explosive charge under his body.

Although they were given a second life as dead people, their emotions have changed drastically compared to before.

To be honest, these Black Hawk soldiers didn't really like the feeling of being resurrected.

They knew they had become some kind of hideous monster; they could not feel warmth, were surrounded by cold all day, and the hunger in their bellies tormented their sanity.

They cannot taste any food, and they lack all worldly desires. They are even restricted to being a secret force and cannot even visit their own relatives.

In this situation, these ghoul soldiers were truly fearless of death on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the emperor, the idea of ​​loyalty to the empire would still be constantly brainwashing them, and some ghoul soldiers might even choose to commit suicide!
With a deafening roar, the Black Hawk soldier who had been lying on top of the explosive charge was instantly blown to pieces.

But he successfully used his own flesh and blood to block most of the bomb fragments and impact.

The other Black Hawk soldiers continued firing, constantly taking down the Cambrian soldiers who charged forward. Before long, the Cambrian soldiers' desperate counterattack was crushed.

Just as the Black Hawk soldiers thought they could breathe a sigh of relief and that they had completely taken control of the position, they suddenly heard a great whistling sound overhead.

"Damn artillery fire again..."

A ghoul officer leading the group roared hoarsely, then ordered the other soldiers to find a place to hide.

Even if they were immortal at this moment, they could not allow themselves to stand outside and be torn apart by this terrible artillery fire.

Based on the current situation, it is highly likely that the Cambrian army fired shrapnel shells at this location.

This thing is essentially a barrel of explosives filled with small steel balls and fragments. Once it explodes in a trench, all sorts of fragments will fly everywhere, creating a deadly metal storm.

Whether they are living people or ghouls, if they are hit by shrapnel at this time, their bodies will be torn to pieces. The terrifying destructive power of this thing is no joke.

A barrage of artillery fire rained down on the position, but to the Black Hawk soldiers’ surprise, the artillery fire they encountered this time was not shrapnel, but the more deadly white phosphorus incendiary bombs!

Because of the Cambrian Empire's backward chemistry, their artillery units rarely used this type of shell.

While this thing is extremely lethal, it is inherently too cruel, and the Cambrian Empire's lack of a chemical industry system has led to a surge in costs.

All these reasons have led to their artillery units being unwilling to use this thing.

However, it seems that the Cambrian army may have really run out of ideas for dealing with this army of ghouls, which is why they resorted to this desperate measure at this time!
A large number of white phosphorus incendiary bombs exploded on the position, and dazzling sparks flew everywhere, quickly turning the entire position into a sea of ​​fire.

Although the Black Hawk soldiers, being ghouls, felt no pain and their perception was forever stuck in the realm of cold, devoid of any temperature sensation, they were still ignited by the terrifying flames.

Seeing the flames engulfing their bodies, some Black Hawk soldiers rolled on the ground, hoping to extinguish the fire, but the more they rolled, the more intense the flames became.

"Enough! This is a white phosphorus shell; the flames won't be extinguished so easily!"

"Soldiers, follow me! Charge towards their rear! Let us give our last lives to make even greater contributions to the Empire!"

With a roar from the officer in charge, the ghoul soldiers, their bodies ablaze with flames, charged forward.

Under the terrifying flames, chunks of flesh fell off their bodies, and their tissues gradually carbonized. Every now and then, several soldiers would collapse to the ground, never to rise again.

Even so, the remaining Black Hawk soldiers continued their fierce charge.

These undead knew they were destined to die, so they only wanted to use their last breaths to take as many enemies as possible with them!

When the Cambrian army, which was preparing to intercept them, saw these Black Hawk soldiers engulfed in flames, they were also terrified by the enemy.

"Soldiers, do not be afraid! Their appearance proves that these enemies will not live much longer!"

"Hold our line, kill them, don't let them get up there!"

The Cambrian soldiers in the second trench zone continued to fire heavy machine guns, even though they knew that the heavy machine guns were not very effective at killing these soldiers, but they had no other weapons at the moment.

They brought out heavy machine guns and mortars.

Even if these things aren't very effective at killing ghoul soldiers, they're still much better than the ordinary rifles they have.

In addition, other riflemen continued to fire at the enemy.

Some riflemen, relying on their superior marksmanship, would try to aim for the enemy's head, because they found that it seemed that once the enemy's head was smashed, these guys would fall down and not move.

Some riflemen also tried shooting at the enemy's legs, hoping to break their leg bones and stop their advance, but this method did not seem to be very reliable.

Unless you can actually sever a Black Hawk soldier's leg, they will continue charging even if you shoot through their muscle.

These undead soldiers have no sense of pain; simple physical injuries are meaningless to them!

Cambrian soldiers, wielding entrenching tools or homemade spiked clubs, rose from their positions and charged towards the group of enemies engulfed in flames.

Even though they were covered in white phosphorus flames from the enemy, they were still trying their best to smash the enemy's head with their blunt weapons!
These blunt weapons can effectively inflict head injuries on enemies, even if they are wearing helmets; heavy maces and entrenching tools can smash their heads!
At this moment, both the Black Hawk soldiers and the Cambrian soldiers seemed to have gone mad with killing intent.

Flares were continuously fired from behind. These flares carried a small parachute to help slow the descent of the shells, thus illuminating the sky for a longer period of time.

One small sun after another illuminated the battlefield, revealing the frenzied fighting between the two armies.

These flares were all fired by Cambrian soldiers. Compared to ghouls, they didn't have much night vision, unlike the group of guys who could determine the enemy's location by looking at their souls through a special necromancy perspective.

So there was no other way. To prevent them from accidentally hitting their own people, even though they knew that this would expose their own defensive positions and the location of the artillery positions behind them, these flares had to be fired continuously.

As the Cambrian artillery positions were gradually exposed, the Black Hawk troops, who were busy fighting at night in the rear, also launched a fierce artillery barrage in this direction.

Of course, the artillery they brought this time was mostly Wasp cannons. Not only were there few of them, but their range and power were also quite average; they were just more flexible.

There was no way around it; these tireless undead soldiers were advancing too fast, and the heavy artillery units behind them simply couldn't keep up.

Only self-propelled artillery like the Wasp, equipped with a mobile platform, could keep up with the rapid movement of the vanguard.

At this moment, the Black Hawk soldiers were using the ghoul legion for the first time, so they were a little confused.

These ghouls are tireless, so much so that they easily become separated from ordinary soldiers during their attacks. As a result, most of the Black Hawk troops have not been able to break through together.

Although the Wasp cannons were not particularly powerful, the Cambrian army's artillery positions continued to suffer losses after being subjected to heavy enemy bombardment.

One cannon after another was destroyed by enemy grenades raining down from the sky, and as they tried to pinpoint the enemy's artillery positions, they discovered that the enemy's artillery seemed to be constantly shifting.

"Soldiers, hold on! Bombard them with all your might!"

"The Empire needs us, and the soldiers on the front lines need us too. We must hold on!"

Even though they couldn't lock onto the enemy's artillery and couldn't retaliate, the Cambrian artillery still didn't retreat.

Their biggest goal right now is to eliminate as many of the undying Black Hawk troops as possible on the front lines!

Such an incredible, even illogical, army must not be allowed to exist!

If the Black Hawk Down troops have to use monsters like these to clear the way every time, how will they be able to continue their wars?
After a fierce and bloody battle, the Cambrian soldiers on the second line of defense also suffered heavy casualties before finally wiping out the ghoul soldiers.

Using the flares and the still-burning flames, the Cambrian soldiers stared in silence at the corpses strewn across the battlefield, and at the grotesque, twisted bodies of the Black Hawk soldiers, almost beyond recognition.

It was too brutal. What exactly happened to these enemy troops?

They didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing, but this battle truly made many soldiers feel a sense of despair!
"Oh my god! What the hell is that?"

"Goddess above, this is too wicked!"

Several Cambrian soldiers mustered their courage, dragged over the still-intact enemy corpses, stripped them of their clothes, and removed the masks that they had been keeping on their faces.

When they saw the faces of the Black Hawk soldiers beneath the masks, their cold, pale bodies covered in stitches, the Cambrian soldiers were stunned; some even felt like vomiting.

"No wonder, no wonder they were like immortal monsters that we couldn't kill! They were just a bunch of dead people!"

"Are you kidding me? After all this fighting, all we've done is kill a bunch of resurrected dead people?"

After learning the truth, the Cambrian soldiers were momentarily devastated.

How can the living defeat these resurrected undead monsters?

The thought that after the battle, they finally managed to kill the Black Hawk soldiers, only to have them turn around and use necromancy to resurrect them into an even more powerful ghoul army!

Thinking of this outcome, all the Cambrian soldiers felt that their future was bleak.

"Wait, listen! Isn't that a sound coming from afar again?"

Just then, a Cambrian soldier with good hearing suddenly asked the group a question.

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers quickly shut up and listened intently.

Soon, they heard a series of rapid footsteps approaching in the distance, indicating that the Black Hawk Army was launching another attack.

"Damn it, the enemy is coming again! This is never going to end!"

"Fire the signal flare immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several officers fired red signal flares with their signal pistols.

Looking ahead, they soon saw many more Black Hawk soldiers dressed in black coats, their bodies completely covered.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Cambrian soldiers were filled with despair, for they knew that the enemy had sent out a new batch of undead soldiers!
It was almost the same process as before, except that the Cambrian soldiers' counterattack seemed much weaker this time compared to the beginning.

After all, many of their soldiers had already died in the previous battles, and since they thought the battle was over, many of them lost their fighting spirit.

As the adrenaline rush subsided, the Cambrian soldiers felt utterly exhausted.

They simply couldn't muster the energy to fight back against the charging enemy.

The heavy machine guns on the position kept making loud noises, but the Black Hawk soldiers immediately took out several of them with mortars.

Before long, the Black Hawk soldiers charged up again and took over the position.

The Cambrian soldiers, their morale shattered, had lost all will to fight and were scattering and fleeing.

"Heh, it seems they didn't expect me to have a final reserve team!"

Colonel Black Hawk, who led the charge, sneered. He had deliberately left behind 300 ghoul soldiers to catch the enemy off guard.

Looking at the corpses scattered across the battlefield, he waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling the soldiers to eat quickly.

These ghoul soldiers are good in every way, except that they need to be replenished with large amounts of meat regularly, otherwise they will become weak and unable to move, just like corpses.

Of course, if they are usually at rest, their energy expenditure is still very low.

However, once they enter into high-intensity combat as before, their energy expenditure will increase rapidly at a visible rate.

At this time, their logistical support had not kept up, so they had no choice but to solve the problem of food replenishment on the spot, and the corpses in front of them were the best option.

If they were alive, these ghoul soldiers would never have been driven to such a perverse act by their moral compass and bottom line.

But at this moment, they were nothing more than a group of resurrected undead, which made them feel a strange hunger when they looked at the corpses all around them.

Tormented by hunger, even the Black Hawk soldiers, though unwilling, chose to abandon their principles and begin devouring the corpses on the battlefield. "Monsters, they're monsters!"

Some Cambrian soldiers, who were seriously injured and unable to evacuate with the main force, lay in a corner, watching this scene unfold.

He clenched his teeth, trying hard not to scream, but his eyes were filled with fear.

The Black Hawk Down troops are truly inhuman!

Even after fighting for so long, he was still shocked by the atrocities committed by the Black Hawk Army!
When the enemy abandoned all principles, he was at a loss for what to do. How could they defeat such a group of monsters?
However, he seriously underestimated the ghouls' ability to perceive the living.

Sensing that there were still living people on this position, the colonel leading the team immediately went over and saw the Cambrian soldier who was seriously injured.

"you……"

He originally intended to pull the Cambrian soldier up first, to extract some information from him, or perhaps just chat with him casually.

But the intense hunger in his stomach and the overwhelming bloodlust in his heart froze him in place.

He tried to overcome this terrible physical instinct with his own will, but unfortunately, his will was ultimately defeated by his instinct.

As his foul-smelling teeth pierced the Cambrian soldier's neck, and as he forcefully tore open the chest of the young man before him, he finally realized:

He was no longer human; he had become some kind of indescribable monster!

From beginning to end, he could no longer enjoy life as a human being.

"Do not--!"

Realizing this, the colonel couldn't help but cry out in despair, for the honor and loyalty that had once been his spiritual anchor were now rapidly fading under the cruel blows of reality.

When he was first resurrected, he felt a deep sense of relief.

He thought he still had a chance to see his family, and a chance to continue fighting for the empire and stand in the sunlight to receive the emperor's rewards.

But as time went by, and as he found it increasingly difficult to suppress the beast within him, he finally realized:
At this moment, I am neither an honored soldier nor a resurrected warrior.

They are nothing more than a new batch of war machines produced by the Empire, a new kind of monster created by the Empire!

After devouring a large number of corpses, these ghoul warriors regained their vitality.

However, their mental state was far from good at this moment. Looking around, these soldiers had almost completely turned into walking corpses, both in body and soul.

"That's enough, continue the attack..."

The colonel let out a low growl, waved his hand behind him, and charged out of the position first.

The other ghoul soldiers stood up numbly and followed the colonel as they crawled out of the position.

They didn't know what they were fighting for; their illusions shattered, they only wanted to destroy the enemy in this war, or be destroyed by the enemy.

Just then, the Black Hawk soldiers who had just climbed out of their positions suddenly heard what sounded like the clear sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"Brothers, we are cavalry sent by General Andrei to support you! Soldiers, do not back down because of the enemy's brutality, keep up with us and charge!"

When the Khan's cavalry arrived at the Cambrian position, they immediately saw that the soldiers' morale was extremely low.

He simply recalled lines from various war movies, took advantage of the atmosphere, waved vigorously to the other soldiers, and then led the other cavalry players to charge forward without looking back.

It's unclear whether it's due to the somber atmosphere or because the members of their guild are spending more and more money on in-game purchases.
At this moment, almost all cavalry players changed their outfits to Krieg cavalry, and even the female horsemen charging alongside them were given a Krieg skin.

Strangely enough, these demi-human soldiers seem to be able to wear various skins normally, but with the modifications of the Andrei system, they can always find suitable military uniforms to wear.

From the very beginning, when players saw various beast girls wearing Krieg's skins, many couldn't help but exclaim: Slaanesh has invaded Krieg's army!
Of course, after changing to the skin, players quickly changed their tune, proving that the "it's actually pretty good" phenomenon is inescapable.

The large contingent of Krieg cavalry silently charged forward, their weapons now replaced with spears.

Despite the constant stream of flares going up in the sky, for some reason, the Krieg cavalry seemed to exude an even more somber atmosphere under the blinding light overhead.

The other Cambrian soldiers were stunned for a moment. When they saw the cavalry charging towards the ghoul legion ahead, some soldiers shouted warnings to them:

"Watch out! These guys are unkillable monsters; they're living dead resurrected by the enemy!"

"You have to hit them on the head, chop their heads off, or smash their skulls to kill them!"

Oh my, here comes a ready-made guide!

Upon hearing this, the cavalrymen who were charging did not respond, but the cavalrymen at the forefront replaced their original spears with darts.

Under the influence of Krieg's skin, these lightning bolts all transformed into molten spears. Although the explosion effect remained that of lightning bolts, they appeared to be longer and sharper.

"Where did these cavalrymen come from?"

The ghoul troops that had just charged forward were momentarily stunned when they saw a group of players rushing towards them.

For some reason, they felt that the cavalrymen opposite them were somewhat similar to themselves, both looking like walking corpses.

They were both dressed in black, neither of them showed their faces, and both remained silent.

For some reason, these ghoul soldiers felt as if they had found comrades, but they didn't feel the same kind of "seeing fellow countrymen and having tears in their eyes" feeling.

These guys in front of them are all enemies. No matter what kind of monsters or demons are in front of them, all they want to do right now is kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy!
Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!
The ghoul soldiers, armed with heavy machine guns, launched a fierce barrage of short bursts, attempting to kill the charging cavalry in front. However, the cavalrymen's high survivability surprised the enemy.

The continuous machine gun fire occasionally felled one or two player cavalrymen, but overall, the machine gun fire was far from achieving the effect they had imagined.

The Black Hawk soldiers thought their machine gun fire would be as easy as harvesting wheat, reaping the lives of the Cambrian soldiers in front of them. But in reality, the enemy continued their relentless charge!
Upon seeing this, the ghoul soldier at the front roared in anger.

They picked up their rifles with bayonets and charged forward at full speed towards the cavalry.

For them, it was unlikely that they would be killed by a spear unless the enemy happened to pierce their head with a spear.

If that's the case, then what do they have to fear?
In any case, they have never encountered an enemy force that can confront the undead soldiers head-on. Even those Cambrian soldiers carrying explosive packs could only make them temporarily retreat!

But when they actually clashed with the player cavalry at the very front, they realized that they had underestimated these enemies.

Upon learning of the enemy's immortality, many players switched to dart-piercing weapons and proceeded to stab these explosive gadgets into the enemy's bodies.

In an instant, the cavalry at the front were blown up along with the enemy.

Thanks to their high health, most cavalry players, despite being wounded, were not knocked down by the violent explosion; only a few unlucky ones died in this round of clash.

Looking around, the group of Black Hawk soldiers who had charged forward in unison were now reduced to a pile of mangled limbs.

In the explosion of the spiked mines, the ghouls' bodies had no chance to resist. They were quickly blown to pieces and trampled by the cavalry.

"How is this possible? What kind of monster is this?"

The colonel leading the charge was stunned the moment the explosion suddenly rang out.

He never expected that the spears held by these Cambrian cavalrymen were actually equipped with explosives!

What surprised him even more was that, despite the intense explosion, not many of the opposing cavalrymen fell from their horses!

They and their horses appeared to be relatively unharmed. Although they were somewhat wounded, the cavalrymen were still energetic and able to maintain their formation before charging at them!
At this moment, even the ghoul soldiers were completely stunned by the player's cavalry tactics!

After the first wave of spiking mines, the Khan immediately ordered the front-line cavalry players to slow down, while the players behind them continued to advance with spiking mines.

The players in the front row were already in critical condition after taking the previous round of explosions. If they were allowed to continue charging forward, their losses would be enormous.

The second row of players immediately took over the important task of charging forward, continuing to use spiking grenades to launch a fierce charge, and then another round of intense explosions occurred with the remaining Black Hawk soldiers.

In this horrific explosion, some cavalrymen fell from their horses, and some Black Hawk soldiers were blown to pieces. From a distance, the scene was absolutely gruesome!
The Cambrian soldiers, who had been standing at the back watching the cavalry charge, were all shocked by this scene.

A major drew his saber and suddenly yelled at the soldier beside him:

"Soldiers of Petrograd, rally yourselves, pick up your rifles, and charge back with me!"

"Look at our comrades ahead. They are paving a way for us with their lives. These cavalrymen who have come from afar are even willing to die together with the enemy. Shouldn't we charge forward with them?"

"Gentlemen, the general's reinforcements have arrived. Now we need to prove ourselves. We are not useless cowards who can't fight without General Andrei!"

"Charge with me! Hurrah—!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other Cambrian soldiers, with tears in their eyes, also roared in anger.

The shouts of "Hurrah!" rose and fell, and hearing this earth-shattering roar, more and more Cambrian soldiers were infected and joined the charge.

Yes, why should they be afraid?

Is it because the enemy is powerful?

Faced with a powerful enemy, these cavalrymen who had come from afar even strapped explosives to their spears, using this method to blow the enemy to pieces!

They were not afraid of sacrifice, even if it meant mutual destruction, to kill this legion of the undead. Theoretically speaking, this battlefield did not belong to the Volkhov Front!
If even the reinforcements aren't afraid to die, why should the main combat troops be afraid to die?
During these days, after Andrei left, the offensive of the entire Petrograd Front suddenly fell into a slump, and more and more Cambrian soldiers developed a cult of personality around Andrei.

They didn't think much of it at first, but after Andrei left, they found that their battles were not going well, whereas when Andrei was there, they were able to achieve brilliant victories from time to time.

This stark contrast is enough to prove General Andrei's strength!

Therefore, they were absolutely unwilling to lose face in front of Andrei's troops, and they did not want anyone to criticize them in front of others in the future, saying that Andrei was the only one in the entire Petrograd Front who could fight!

The players were a bit confused. They were having a good time with the ghouls in front of them when suddenly a deafening roar came from behind them.

Seeing the soldiers behind him suddenly launch a frenzied charge, the Khan scratched his head. How come he didn't know that his troops had any morale-boosting skills?
In comparison, the remaining few Black Hawk Ghoul soldiers were like rocks submerged in a vast ocean when faced with the charge of a large number of Cambrian soldiers.

Despite remaining silent, they continued their stubborn resistance.

But anyone with eyes can see that their end is near!
"Wait a minute, I have a question. Our spear charge is also an instant-death skill, right? How about we try charging with spears and see what happens?"

Suddenly, some players became curious.

They had been warned by the NPCs that they needed special weapons to take down these guys, so they all switched to spiked grenades.

But then again, they've never actually tried charging with a regular spear, so what would be the result?
As soon as he finished speaking, the other players, including the Khan, immediately switched back to their normal spears and began to roam the battlefield like hunters, killing the scattered ghoul soldiers.

The Khan locked onto a Black Hawk soldier and launched a rapid charge towards him. His spear flashed like a dragon, piercing the ghoul soldier's chest in the blink of an eye, leaving him hanging on the spearhead like a skewer.

"Wait a minute, something's not right, is it? This thing really can't be killed!"

The Khan originally intended to throw the ghoul soldier off.

But when he tried to shake him off, he found that he hadn't shaken off the enemy hanging on the gun barrel. And when the guy, despite being stabbed in the chest, was still crawling towards him while still holding onto the gun handle, he finally realized that something was wrong!

Other players also noticed the pinned post, and one cavalryman was even killed by an enemy who climbed up the spear shaft due to carelessness!
This terrifying sight truly shocked the players!

I don't know what's wrong with these guys, how they managed to escape the instant death penalty!

You should know that when they used to charge at Dread Knights with bayonets, their bayonets could pierce through the Dread Knights' breastplates and kill them!
This bizarre sight truly startled the players, but it also piqued their interest.

There was an unlucky guy who was hanging on the gun barrel. He finally managed to get off, and then he staggered to his feet.

"Uh, you guys..."

But as soon as he got up, he saw other Cambrian cavalry approaching and surrounding him.

Immediately afterward, to his incomprehension and as if he were looking at a pervert, the Cambrian cavalry dismounted and pulled out all sorts of flashy melee weapons.

The next moment, the unfortunate Black Hawk soldier experienced what it meant to be hacked to pieces.

After some testing, the players finally came to the following conclusion:

Their instant-death judgment does seem to fail to some extent when facing this group of ghoul soldiers, but it is not completely ineffective.

The samurai sword and the trench warfare club remain highly effective, perhaps because the club is specifically designed to strike the enemy's head, while the samurai sword can easily decapitate the enemy.

When they use their katanas to face the ghoul soldiers, a melee animation will start, and their blades will automatically slash towards the heads of these guys, instantly severing their heads.

However, at the same time, problems arose with the lances used by cavalry and the bayonets used by infantry.

If they can hit the enemy's head and pierce through it, they can easily kill him.

However, if the attack doesn't pierce the head but instead pierces other parts of the body, the damage they inflict seems to be invalidated.

In addition, the same applies when shooting with various guns; only headshots count as effective damage.

"Hiss, this thing seems a bit troublesome!"

The Khan flicked his cavalry lance; normally he would use automatic combat to pierce through the enemy with a single shot.

Unfortunately, the automatic attack always pierces the opponent's chest, so unless he deactivates the automatic attack and relies entirely on his own skill, he really can't achieve an instant kill!

But at that moment, a player unexpectedly discovered an option in the deeper settings.

"Hey, wait a minute, it seems like we can modify our automatic combat actions!"

The player said excitedly:
"If we change the target of our bayonets and spears from the chest to the head instead of the chest, it seems we can achieve the same instant kill effect as before!"

Wow, that's brilliant!
This guide was immediately shared by players in the chat area, and even their offline forums saw corresponding guides and explanations.

Immediately afterwards, many players changed their combat moves and began eagerly searching for the enemy's ghoul troops.

With such a novel trait, they naturally had to find a real target to test it out!

After the modifications were completed, Khan and his group of players almost simultaneously turned their attention to the positions occupied by the Black Hawk Army.

At almost the same time, in the Northern Army headquarters, Field Marshal Schweigen hung up a series of reports from the front lines and then sighed.

"Damn it, I never expected the Empire's Resurrection Legion to have such a huge flaw!"

(End of this chapter)
