Chapter 1018: The Holy Guard enters the war
"General, our army has all boarded the ship and is ready to go." Marlan, the high-ranking commander of the Holy Guard, said in a low voice.
General Bridget Abydis nodded and ordered, "Herald General Weswin, the fleet is leaving!" ”
Marlan wanted to speak again and again, and finally said suspiciously: "General, according to the latest information I consulted, the Scourge Legion is even stronger than we expected, and I am afraid that our army will ...... to go."
After the Pakistani Guards landed on the Pakistani railway, they repaired for a few days and then set out again. This time, their mission is to land in Gerald, an important city in the western part of Tianzhu. It has been captured by the Scourge and transformed into a western military base, responsible for providing troops and weapons for the Scourge Legion attacking Pakistan.
A large number of psychic towers have been built in the surrounding area, as well as a large soul furnace that serves as the power core of the Scourge Legion.
Such a military town, with a garrison of more than 20,000 troops, and complete defense facilities.
And the task of the Holy Guard is to bypass the frontal line of defense, bypass from the sea, and surprise Gerald, with an attacking force of three thousand! This is the highest force that a naval fleet can carry on an expedition. Even if Marlan was not afraid of sacrifice, he was hesitant about this mission.
This kind of mission looked like a death mission no matter how you looked at it, and General Abydis took it in one bite.
At the same time, the more than 100,000 troops in Pakistan and the railway were also ready for a decisive battle against the invading natural disaster Western Group Army. The Holy Guard is just an idle flag, a force of 3,000 men, and if you throw it over, you can contain a part of the enemy army and delay the reinforcements from Gerald's side to the front.
"I thought that pious faith could be exchanged for the guidance of the Holy Light, but I didn't expect that it was the Dreadlord who was bewitching the mind. The Light has never guided us! I've never felt so helpless and lost. If I don't do anything, I'm going crazy. What I can do is to fill my empty heart with hatred and take revenge on the natural disaster, even if I die in battle! ”
These Holy Guards, who had lived in lies in the past, seemed to be strong, but in fact they were very mentally fragile. When the lie is exposed, they don't know how they are going to live, just like some of the people who have been rescued by the Messenger Organization. You can only set a goal and be so busy every day that you don't have time to think about it that you can alleviate your spiritual emptiness. The goal is to take revenge on the Scourge Legion.
But what about after revenge? Abidis thinks further than the others, and she would rather die heroically in battle against the Scourge like her predecessors than live in a world full of infidels.

The Scourge had no idea that such a small force would be killed from the sea to the rear town of Gerald. Past experience has taught them that the sea is very dangerous, and humans do not know how to transport it by sea. But they didn't know that the Holy Guard's fleet was from Azeroth, and that there were also sea monsters in the sea, and that the fleet commander Westwin was from Kurtilas, and that he had his own way of avoiding the powerful sea monsters.
After crossing the sea, the fleet of the Holy Guard sailed up the river bay at night until it reached a place about twenty kilometers northwest of the city of Gerald.
Under the cover of battleships, the Holy Guard captured a cargo terminal and captured hundreds of tons of military supplies. Unfortunately, the quartermaster of the Scourge Legion is completely different from the living, except for some bombs, nothing else can be used, and can only be burned.
Marlan pointed to the map and said, "Where are we attacking?" The first target is the Soul Crucible, in the heart of the city, with a heavy guard. With our strength, it is unlikely that we will kill it and destroy it. The closest target to here is Target Five: the Motorcycle Structure Mechanical Foundry. ”
General Abydis said, "Is there anything nearby that is conducive to defense?" ”
"Three kilometers from here, there's a high ground where the local human resistance forces held out for a month until they were wiped out."
Abidis said, "Good. Marlan, you lead the men to build fortifications there. I personally led the assault troops to destroy the mechanical foundry, and then withdrew to hold on. ”
The Holy Guard had been in Hebrew for a long time, and had long since learned to use all kinds of technological products on Earth. Among them, there are also a small number of earthlings who agree with the concept of the Holy Guard. Therefore, they can get their hands on the high-tech equipment provided by the Long Xiang Army very quickly.
The Holy Guard didn't bring anything else, and there were a lot of reconnaissance equipment, so they could accurately break into the hinterland of the natural disaster. At this time, it was just the right time to take advantage of the Scourge Legion's surprise and stab them again.
General Abydis personally led 2,000 elite troops to assault and kill the Scourge Machinery Foundry. The Holy Guards' expedition this time are all veterans with firm beliefs, and both their combat experience and will to fight far surpass the regular troops on earth. Moreover, there are many legendary elites like General Abydis in the array, although the number is small, the combat effectiveness is very impressive.
The garrison of the Scourge's legion was a notch worse than the field legion. Moreover, the garrison of 20,000 troops was scattered throughout the Gerrard district, and in places like the mechanical foundry, which were not the most important, there were only a thousand defenders, and they were divided into two parts.
The Holy Guard defeated the defenders of the west gate of the factory with a single assault, and then the elite Holy Guard resisted the attacks of the Cobwebwere Tower and the Wraith Tower, and smashed the energy center of the Psychic Tower and occupied the factory area.
In order to cope with the high-altitude bombardment of human beings, the key industrial facilities of the natural disaster are underground. A large number of ghouls, skeletons, and slaves of various races serve as coolies, as well as some humans who believe in the Cult of the Damned.
If Tianzhu's wartime military factory is a sweatshop, then the natural disaster military factory is a flesh and blood factory. The whole factory is full of blood and stench, and all kinds of fresh and rotten flesh and bones are also raw materials for the factory, and the environment is comparable to hell. The slaves who worked here had to work day and night, facing the threat of death at any time.
If it weren't for the undead who need to consume soul energy, the Scourge Legion would also need fresh corpses at any time, and they would not have kept these slaves who still had to eat and rest. However, under the harsh conditions, it was difficult for the slaves to survive for half a year, and then their flesh and blood were either used as raw materials or resurrected to continue their work.
The factory's production supervisor is a semi-undead human who was once a factory owner who survived the apocalypse, but his family is dead. Despair and pain tormented his body and mind, and in search of solace, he secretly joined the Cult of the Damned. Finally, he was promoted to production supervisor due to his management skills.
There are still many corrupt and degenerate human beings in this way, and most of them are managerial and technical positions in factories. Many managerial and technical jobs in modern industry are simply not up to the task of stupid undead and must be filled by humans.
In the past few years, the Scourge Legion's weaponry has been able to advance by leaps and bounds, and the mechanized legion has been able to form a mechanized legion, thanks to the human degenerates of the Cursed Sect, who have helped the Lich King establish a complete military industrial system.
When General Abidis led the elite of the Holy Guard to break through the outer line and enter the factory, the production supervisor and the undead coolies met him fearlessly, delaying the evacuation of the technicians.
Unfortunately, the gap between non-combatants and professional combatants was so great that it didn't take much effort for Abydis to clean up the rotting creatures.
Boom Boom! A series of explosions were heard, and the main facilities in the factory were blown into the sky.
"Quick, while the natural disaster reinforcements haven't arrived, let's go to the next target."
