The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 25 Wait, don't use the flamethrower!
"Damn it! The treaty clearly stipulated at the Frankfurt Five Conference that no one was allowed to use necromancy! The Black Hawk Empire is openly violating this rule; they're insane!"

"We must get this message out as soon as possible and report it to His Majesty the Tsar. The Black Hawk Empire will pay the price for their actions!"

Hearing Major Yuri's words, Andrei remained noncommittal.

He didn't understand what the so-called Frankfurt Five Conference was, but in his own understanding, it would be nothing but nonsense when war actually broke out!

Besides, even if this news were leaked, what difference would it make?

The Black Hawk Empire will likely only garner international condemnation, which will ultimately be of little consequence.

However, Andrei still added a new side quest and released it:

Side Quest: Seize the enemy's special necromancy weapon and obtain evidence of the Black Hawk Empire's use of necromancy! Total Quest Reward: 200 Merit Points! Number of Participants: Unlimited

Meanwhile, players were stunned by the actions of the Black Hawk Empire soldiers, and the comment section was flooded with "666" comments.

Cat King: [666! I'm really starting to like this game. The background elements are quite amazing!]

Brave Bull: [Outrageous! What the hell are we fighting? Space necromancers?]

Hao Nan: [I feel like we're playing a hybrid of British pacifism and a zombie empire, with some elements of the Sickle Wars added! All in all, awesome!]

Raven: [Guys, we have a new mission! We need to find a way to steal that Necromancer's Gun! It's worth 200 merit points!]

Veteran10086: [I wonder if we can even use this thing ourselves after we steal it? It's definitely rare equipment!]

……

After using the special necromancer gun to transform all the corpses from the previous massacre into skeletons, the necromancer soldier returned to the village.

The other Black Hawk soldiers focused their attention on the sight of skeleton soldiers carrying goods in the distance, a bizarre scene rarely seen.

Although they had heard some rumors in China that many people working in secret factories were undead like this.

Considering that their Black Hawk Empire had introduced a set of autopsy laws a few years ago, requiring civilians to donate their bodies to the state for medical research unless they were willing to pay a burial tax.

Considering this bill, they felt that such rumors were probably true, but this was truly the first time they had ever seen such a scene!

The Black Hawk soldiers, whose attention was entirely focused on the skeleton laborer in the distance, were completely unaware that several figures had silently approached them not far away.

Andrei didn't know how players trained their assassination skills; perhaps there was a special button in the game.

Almost simultaneously, the players who had silently approached the sentries began to move.

Each player's assassination method looked exactly the same, and they were incredibly skilled and efficient. As soon as they covered the soldiers' mouths, their weapons were immediately plunged into their vital organs.

But when he thought of those two players with needles and bottles, Andrei couldn't help but laugh.

The sight of their comical weapons combined with their skillful assassination techniques is simply too beautiful!
The players' assassinations were swift and decisive, making no sound whatsoever. The Black Hawk sentries in the distance didn't even have time to figure out what was happening before they were dead. After the assassinations, the players dragged the dead sentries' bodies aside, then waved to their troops behind them, giving them a signal.

Upon seeing this, Andrei immediately gave the order to attack to the soldiers around him.

Without the sentries acting as eyes and ears, the Black Hawk soldiers inside the village were completely unaware that more than 300 Cambrian soldiers were silently approaching from the village's perimeter.

Leading the charge were still Andrei's players. Compared to the cautious approach of the main force behind them, these players were quite carefree, showing no concern whatsoever about being discovered.

Andrei also knew that, according to the game's logic, they had already dealt with the sentries outside, and should now be in a safe passage state.

So even if they make conspicuous movements, they won't be detected by the enemies inside.

But that's not how it is in reality, so Andrei quickly and quietly scolded them, telling them to slow down.

Unfortunately, most players ignored Andrei's reprimands.

It's just NPC interaction, part of the story, skip it and ignore it!
There was nothing he could do; these players were too much trouble. Andrei could only chase after them with his flag, obediently acting as their respawn point and having them serve as his meat shield.

Just as the players were about to reach the edge of the village's outer wall, a Black Hawk soldier, whether he had heard the commotion or simply happened to run out to get up in the middle of the night, came out from inside.

The Black Hawk soldier looked sleepy and wasn't carrying any weapons. He had just stepped out of the village gate when he ran into a group of players outside.

Upon seeing the group of heavily armed and burly men standing in front of him, the Black Hawk soldier's face immediately showed terror, and he instinctively wanted to scream.

But even faster than his scream was the bayonet that pierced his chest.

"Damn it, we've been exposed! Charge!"

"Charge in! Those Black Hawk soldiers shouldn't even be up yet. Let's catch them off guard!"

Andrei couldn't help but curse inwardly. He quickly waved his hand at the players, signaling them to charge, and blew the whistle on his chest as he did so.

Using bayonets to take down enemies is fine, but the problem is that when players charge with bayonets, they will emit a huge battle cry due to the game's mechanics.

This is really bad; the battle cry of players charging with bayonets is no quieter than the soldiers' loud cries for help!
Fortunately, the players were quite quick; they had barely blew their whistles before they launched their attack.

In a house near the edge of the village, Black Hawk soldiers, still not understanding the situation, hurriedly ran out, not even having time to put on their clothes, and were carrying a rifle.

But as soon as he ran out, a fire-breathing soldier player rushed straight up to him, and to his horrified eyes, a fire dragon set him and the houses behind him ablaze.

"Holy crap! Flamethrower soldiers, get back! You've burned all the houses down, where are we going to sleep tonight? I'm going to..."

Seeing this, Andrei couldn't help but shout out in exasperation.

This is one of the bad things about players: when fighting, they only care about their own enjoyment, so they don't use their brains or consider the consequences when they do things!
