I summoned the Fourth Scourge in Warhammer

Chapter 81 X-ray vision dog
On the wide main road leading to Shangchao, a storm of steel is gathering and advancing.

The heavily armored units of the Death Squad, like prehistoric steel behemoths, rolled over the crystal roads that were once reserved for luxury hovercars. The engines of the Leman Rustank roared, their heavy tracks leaving clear imprints on the ground; the Chimera armored personnel carriers followed closely behind, their heavy explosive shells and heavy logging guns gleaming with a cold metallic sheen; at the rear of the column, self-propelled artillery slowly adjusted their massive barrels.

The crisp, rhythmic loading of the automatic cannons mingled with the clicking of soldiers checking their weapons, creating a symphony of war. This torrent of steel had only one target—the power center of Upper Nest, the Governor's Mansion.

“What an exciting scene,” Assassin said, standing by the roadside, watching these machines, representing the ultimate violence, drive past him one after another. He could feel his blood heating up, and a feeling of exhilaration instinctively rose within him.

“Hmm.” However, Nguyen Van Bo, the highest commander of this unit, simply responded calmly, without any sign of excitement on his face.

"Battalion Commander, aren't you excited? Such a cool scene, all under your command!" Assassin leaned closer, his voice full of excitement.

“Right now, I’m mainly thinking about whether the troops we have can block all the entrances and exits of the Governor’s Palace,” Nguyen Van Bo said with a sigh as he looked at the convoy rolling forward. “I just hope there are fewer entrances and exits to that damned place.”

Nguyen Van Bo didn't even dare to hope that the governor's mansion could be smaller, because he knew very well that such a thing was impossible. Expecting a planetary governor's mansion to be small and exquisite was less likely than hoping that a full-strength Space Marine chapter would suddenly descend from the sky, perform a deus ex machina, and wipe out all the enemies. At least statistically speaking, the latter was more probable.

"Are we... really not going to do that?" Looking at the rows of dark cannon muzzles, the Assassins couldn't help but bring up the old story again.

"Huh?" Ruan Wenbo, whose train of thought had been interrupted, didn't immediately understand what Assassin was talking about. "How?"

"It's...it's that..." Assassin lowered his voice, leaned forward slightly, and said in a mysterious tone as if he were conducting an underground arms deal, "It's that...special shell..."

“Oh~” Ruan Wenbo suddenly realized, his drawn-out tone carrying a hint of understanding, and then he refused decisively in a tone devoid of any emotion: “No.”

"Ah? Why?!" Assassin's tone instantly turned sorrowful, as if a brilliant artistic idea had been ruthlessly crushed.

He wanted to make one last effort: "Company Commander, it's all for victory! We can't let some vague sense of pride or saving face cause us to reject a potentially lucrative path to victory..."

"First of all, the rejection of your plan was a unanimous decision by the Military Council, and even I cannot disobey it," Nguyen Van Bo said expressionlessly, uttering seemingly illogical words. As the battalion commander, he effectively possessed absolute wartime command authority; during combat, if he gave an order, everyone had to obey unconditionally. The council could only raise objections at a post-war debriefing meeting.

“Secondly,” Ruan Wenbo said without giving Assassins a chance to refute, “when enemies covered in excrement charge at us, will our players choose to hold their ground and fight back bravely, or will they decisively turn and run away? I personally am uncertain. After all, dying gloriously is one thing, but dying with your face covered in excrement is another.”

“Finally,” Nguyen Van Van Bo said in one breath, his sharp gaze fixed on the Assassins, “I highly doubt whether you proposed this plan out of genuine concern for victory, or simply to satisfy your own perverse pleasure.”

Faced with Nguyen Van Bo's rapid-fire, logically sound, and soul-searching questions, Assassin opened his mouth but found himself speechless.

"Haha... Well, Battalion Commander, you're right! I'll go check if the weapons maintenance on that tank is up to standard!"

Assassin chuckled twice, made up a lame excuse, and decisively turned around and jogged to join the moving convoy.

Ruan Wenbo watched his figure disappear into the steel torrent, shook his head helplessly, and muttered to himself, "That guy."

……

Inside the Governor's Mansion, an atmosphere of luxury and decadence permeated the air.

The heavy, scarlet carpet absorbed all footsteps, making each step feel like walking on congealed blood. The walls no longer displayed the heroic portraits of past governors, but instead adorned with twisted brocades depicting indescribable things. A cloying, sweet scent, a mixture of incense and blood, hung in the air, keeping everyone on edge. Three figures moved cautiously, like phantoms, within this lavishly decorated, massive building. It was the trio: the Great Horned Beast, Name, and the Fluttering Moth.

That's right, they've come to scout again.

This time, their mission was more arduous than ever before—to scout the general terrain of the entire governor's mansion, ascertain the enemy's troop deployment, and provide crucial intelligence for the upcoming general offensive.

But problems arose. The governor's mansion was enormous, like a small city, with a complex internal structure, and based on previous experience, it was highly likely inhabited by demons or corrupted Space Marines. How long would it take for the three of them to scout it out? Not to mention, what if they accidentally encountered the enemy and alerted them?
We'll have to see what goodies the fluttering moth got in the previous lottery.

【Name: White Eye】

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Epic]

【Attribute: Yang】

[Special Effect: Keen Insight (When activated, grants a 360° spherical view, allowing you to see targets within a one-kilometer radius without obstruction, analyze muscle, meridian, and energy flow, and resist most visual illusions)]

[Equipment Requirements: Rigorous organ transplant surgery]

[Note: This is a unique bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan, which can only be unlocked through intensive training and bloodline inheritance. It is extremely useful in ninja battles, and once possessed, it allows one to fully unleash the power of the Hyuga clan's inherited Gentle Techniques.]

At this moment, beneath the tightly sealed helmet of the fluttering moth, his right eye was completely filled with pure milky white, with bulging veins around the corner of his eye, making him look somewhat ferocious.

In his vision, the whole world turned into a black and white ink painting, with walls, floors, and ceilings losing their meaning and becoming translucent lines.

The entire magnificent structure of the Governor's Mansion was laid bare before him.

Those special units possessing enormous internal energy are clearly marked on this three-dimensional map like bright light bulbs. Avoiding them is incredibly easy.

“A X-ray vision dog,” the giant unicorn muttered as it followed behind him. “Why didn’t you use this sooner? If we had it from the beginning, we wouldn’t have been ambushed last time, would we?”

“You’re dreaming,” the moth replied. “The Byakugan isn’t without its costs. I have neither chakra nor spiritual energy, so using it is completely overdrawing my eye power. I’m using it as a one-time consumable… In fact, in just this short time, I’ve already felt some soreness and stinging in my right eye.”

He paused for a moment, his tone becoming serious: "In about ten minutes, my right eye will be completely ruined, and I'll go blind."

"If only there were a chakra training method... But so far, this game doesn't have a stable way to obtain skills and items, so after I bought a power sword, I don't know where to use my merit points."

The other two players wholeheartedly agreed, with the giant unicorn chiming in, "Me too, even if it's just a permanent random lottery."
