“War， war never changes.”

War is the highest form and the most violent means of contradictory struggle. In this universe where contradictions and conflicts never end, war is the most straightforward way to solve all problems.

We don't know when war will be born or when it will die. But war is never far away, and in this dark universe, the flames of war are burning everywhere. The evil and cruel nature of war will not change, and every war is accompanied by countless bloodshed and killing.

An improvised transport vehicle shuttles through the city, and the carriage behind it is completely open, without any armor to protect the passengers above. It's easy to get brainstorming to sit in such a convertible on the battlefield. But at the moment, human life is less valuable than steel.

An officer was speaking to the recruits in the carriage, and next to him stood a soldier with a firearm, on guard, scanning the group of recruits.

"This day will be the proudest day of your life! For the sake of every compatriot who died in battle, for the sake of the Empire, for the sake of the Emperor! You will go all out against those hateful Chaos cultists. You'll make them pay tenfold! And for cowards or traitors, we will not be lenient! All deserters who leave their posts without permission will be shot! ”

The recruits squatted in the car one by one, fearing that a stray bullet from an unknown source would take their lives. And the officer was still pacing back and forth in the carriage, not in the slightest oblivious to the danger around him.

"Always remember that the Emperor is watching you! Don't retreat lightly! For the battle ahead, you'll be fully armed. With food, water, weapons, and plenty of ammunition, what do you think the cultists will have? ”

"Nothing! Their supplies are pitiful and weak, they simply cannot fight us anymore! Victory is coming, and we will stop them, right here! ”

As soon as the officer's voice ended, a tongue of fire suddenly erupted from a machine gun in a window in a street building. Dense bullets rained down. Penetrated the carriage and killed and wounded many soldiers.

"Lie down! Lie down! ”

The officer hurriedly leaned over and asked the frightened recruits in front of him to lower their bodies and protect themselves.

"We have to get out of here! Abandon the car!! ”

A recruit could no longer bear the fear in his heart and made a very unwise move. He jumped straight from the back of the carriage and fled towards the nearby building.

"Traitor!"

"Don't run away! Kill him! Kill the deserters! ”

The officer gave orders to the soldiers on the side.

"Traitors, correct the law on the spot! Don't sympathize with them! ”

With a rapid burst of gunfire, the fleeing man fell to the ground and turned into a cold corpse.

The transporter continued on its way, and after a few turns, it finally reached its destination. At this time, the recruits were still lying in the carriage one by one, not daring to raise their heads.

"Soldiers, get out of this car!"

The officer began to rush the crowd again.

"So, what are you waiting for! Get out of the car! ”

Vehicles are parked in the streets, and it is undoubtedly dangerous to stay inside. The only way to avoid the enemy's cold guns is to get into the building as soon as possible.

Sure enough, at this moment when the recruits were grinding, many bullets were fired from many places.

"Onward! Damn, move on! Don't back down! ”

The recruits hurriedly got out of their cars and ran into a building on the side of the street.

There were already a number of recruits inside, and an officer was standing on a box and introducing the crowd.

"This is the trigger, this is the muzzle. Point the muzzle at the enemy and pull the trigger. Do you understand! ”

The officer yelled at the recruits with a rifle. The recruits were clearly young, perhaps underage. Their green faces were full of unease, but they nodded their heads to show that they understood.

"Excellent! You are already a qualified soldier. Now, go to the building ahead, support our compatriots, and destroy the enemies inside! Take the building back! ”

The recruits looked in the direction the officer was pointing, and a few hundred meters from here, a building overlooked the surroundings. Through its window, you can faintly see the fires of the two sides fighting inside.

To get there, you have to cross the streets and lots of rooms. A recruit at the door took a firearm and a magazine from the officer. began to charge towards the building.

Cold guns, stray bullets, dozens of recruits, only fourteen of them managed to reach the building. They saw many comrades in ambush in the building. A non-commissioned officer walked up to them.

"My name is Maude, and I'm your company commander. You, what's your name? ”

"My name is Rak, sir!"

"I now appoint you as the squad leader, and these dozen or so people are under your command. Follow me. ”

Maud refuses to be rejected and leads them to the hallway of the building.

"The second floor is occupied by the enemy, and there are our comrades on the upper floors, and we must retake the second floor as soon as possible."

Maud stared into Rak's eyes and said in an unquestioning tone.

"I can't clear the machine gunners over there, I want you and your squad to help distract their shots! See that wall, don't stop rushing over! Look at my gestures, get ready..."

"Rush!"

Lac's mind went blank, and when he heard the order, he immediately rushed forward with his soldiers across the corridor. Enemy machine guns fired fiercely at them. Most of Lack's soldiers were killed or wounded at once.

Just as the enemy was reloading, Maude began firing at the enemy with another group of soldiers. Kill them all. Then rushed to the second floor.

"Well done, keep up, Lack!"

Rak turned his head to look, and the wounded on the ground breathed faintly, and silently wished him good luck in his heart. Swiftly led the rest of the soldiers up to the second floor.

Under Maude's leadership, the second floor was retaken by them. But in a dark room, a cultist suddenly rushed out. The incident happened suddenly, and everyone didn't react. A platoon commander was brutally cut by his throat.

The muzzle of the gun is aimed at the enemy, and the trigger is pulled.

Remembering the officer's teachings, Lark took up arms and shot the cultist. And he turned out to be the fastest response of the crowd.

When Maud arrives to find out, she praises Lark.

"I was not mistaken, you have a talent for combat. His remnants are under your command, and you are now a platoon commander. Don't be proud, keep up the good work. Soldier! ”

Maud gathered the hundreds of soldiers he had left. Manpower was transferred and a number of combat-ready units were reorganized. He left the wounded here to defend. There are still many enemies waiting to be eliminated above the building, and they must hurry up.

Led by Maud, they are getting closer and closer to the top floor. But the commander who was holding out at the top seemed to have run out of ammunition, and he repeatedly ordered Maud to hurry up and support.

Maude also knew from the tense words of the regimental commander what kind of danger he faced, and he took the lead, regardless of the casualties of the soldiers, and advanced to the top floor. He placed the wounded in a number of floors under his control, and in the name of the regimental commander, mobilized the living forces of other companies to join him.

But just as we were about to reach the top floor, the unexpected happened.

Maude was hit by a bullet, and Lac, who was with him, hurriedly dragged him behind cover. But it was too late, and Maud gripped Lack's arms to say something, but the wound on his neck made him whine for unknown meaning.

With a torrent of blood, Maude's hands hung limply.

"Si~Si~"

Maud's communicator rang, and Lark hurriedly answered it.

"Maude, quick! Fast! I want your support right away! ”

The head of the regiment had been in contact with Maud many times before, so Lac, who had been by Maude's side, heard that it was the voice of the head of the regiment.

"Regiment Commander, Company Commander Maude has died!"

Lark choked. Life is so insignificant, it dissipates as easily as a snowflake.

"Who are you!"

"I'm a platoon leader under Maude."

"Now I'm promoting you to company commander! Hurry up and bring troops to support! ”

"Commander, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry! I'm just.. Feed? Feed? ”

Rak looked up blankly, and by this time he was already surrounded by a circle of warriors.

"Company commander, give the order quickly!"

Lark took up his arms and gave the order to attack. Thanks to the fact that he has always been by Maude's side, he has also learned some things from ear to ear, and he is decent to command. I didn't do anything particularly stupid.

But when he finally broke through several enemy armies and reached the top floor, he found only one corpse. The regimental commander who was supposed to hold out here was gone. Just as he mobilized his soldiers to search for survivors, a communications device in the corner rang again.

Feeling a bit familiar, Lark stepped forward to answer the call.

"Naami, what are you doing! There's a cultist headed for you, set up machine guns and block the streets! ”

"Well, if you're talking about Naami being a regimental leader, then he may have died."

"Who are you!"

Lark chuckled inwardly, feeling that something was wrong. But he responded.

"I'm a company commander under Naami. I just..."

"You are now the commander of the 010 Infantry Regiment! Immediately set up firepower points to block the streets, and never let any cultists pass! It's a death order from the Lower Nest Council! ”

Communication was cut off, and Lark stood up, only to find that he was surrounded by a group of soldiers at some point.

"Commander, give the order quickly!"

"Damn, the Heavy comes with me, and the rest of the people clean up the battlefield!"
