171: Dog-headed mecha warrior!

Rommel took a deep breath, feeling as if the blood in his entire body had turned to ice.

All the BUFFs were real, taking effect instantly!

He had lost contact with headquarters!

This meant that going forward, the Head of State, Xi’er, would be unable to provide him with macroscopic guidance, and he would also be unable to know the movements of Manstein and General Guderian immediately.

It was no different from being blind.

The subsequent battles could only be judged and decided by himself.

“Everyone listen to my command, proceed according to our previous plan!”

“Allocate three hundred thousand Army and five hundred thousand Air Force to form the Rommel Assault Legion, and march with me to Moscow.”

“The others are to remain in Saint Petersburg! Form the Rommel Guard.”

“There is only one mission, and that is to guard our home!”

Rommel knew time was pressing and there was no leisure for him to dither.

“General! The… the weather is too cold.”

“Our… tanks and other military equipment will move very slowly, and they need time to adjust…”

A Challenger messenger walked up to Rommel, shivering from the cold as he reported the current situation.

“Damn it!”

Rommel clenched his fists, his entire being taut like a bowstring.

They were already racing against time, planning a quick attack, but now a [True Winter] BUFF in the instance had completely countered the German Ear People, who were best at quick attacks.

Just as Rommel grew increasingly impatient, the Sky Curtain continued to chime, one after another.

[Sky Curtain Hint: The underground civilian self-defense forces of Saint Petersburg are gathering!]

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions continuously rang out in various corners of the city, as the Mao Xiong Country people hidden within the city began to spontaneously gather and launch surprise attacks on the Challenger forces.

Rommel observed the instance’s backend; the number of Challengers was actually decreasing slightly.

“These rats! They are hindering our progress.”

“Fortunately, they are just a bunch of small rats, easily eliminated.”

“Defense Army, you are to dispatch troops to clear out all underground resistance forces! Assault Legion, you continue preparing the military equipment for activation; we must leave Saint Petersburg as quickly as possible.”

Rommel tried his best to stabilize morale, fulfilling his duty as a commander.

The Head of State’s final order to him was to capture Moscow, and he must complete it!

…

Rommel’s heart was firm, but the subsequent hints from the Sky Curtain made him agitated once more.

[Sky Curtain Hint: Underneath Saint Petersburg, the main city of Mao Xiong Country, there is a massive mecha manufacturing factory!]

[The self-defense forces of Saint Petersburg have unleashed the Goblin Mecha Warriors buried deep underground!]

[All Challengers, please prepare to counterattack against the Mao Xiong Country Mecha Warriors!]

“Goblin? Mecha Warriors?”

Rommel froze on the spot.

What… what the hell is this?

He had never heard of such a weapon; was it putting people inside mechas?

And… Saint Petersburg’s underground actually hid a massive arsenal, that was what truly shocked him!

No wonder the ground had been constantly shaking after he had just completed the occupation of Saint Petersburg.

It turned out that the hidden underground mecha arsenal had already been activated.

Just then, the earth trembled again.

Then countless humanoid figures, clad in heavy iron armor, crawled out from the sewer openings!

Patches of silver-white mecha bodies were particularly eye-catching.

It wasn't until he saw them that Rommel truly understood the meaning of Mecha Warriors!

They were essentially robots.

At this time, some Settlements on Azure Star were already researching robots, but their military application was rare, being used more in daily life.

However, upon closer inspection, these Mecha Warriors were somewhat different from robots.

They were only covered in thick armor, but there were no traces of electronic equipment.

It felt as if there were indeed living people operating within the thick mechas.

“Damn it!”

“What the hell is this thing!”

Although it felt very strange, even giving him goosebumps, Rommel was not truly afraid.

What kind of Mecha Warriors? In the end, they were just humanoid armor; could such small bodies be compared to tanks and artillery?!

One shot, and wouldn’t they fall apart?!

“German warriors, listen to my command, eliminate these monsters!”

Several Tiger Tanks parked near the square received the order and immediately began a fierce bombardment of the Mecha Warriors.

Deafening explosions resonated in the air, directly shattering several buildings in that area.

Then an even stranger scene appeared.

Flames suddenly erupted from the feet of the Mecha Warriors closest to the government square, and they instantly ascended into the air like rockets!

Clearly, the German’s familiar propulsion system was used in the legs of the mechas.

Then, with a single stride, one rushed in front of a Tiger Tank.

On its steel arm, a dazzling blue laser condensed, like a god’s blade, sharp and mighty.

In an instant, it severed the Tiger Tank’s gun barrel, and the massive steel barrel fell.

At the same time, the Mecha Warrior’s other arm suddenly transformed, unfolding into a miniature machine gun muzzle, like a fire-breathing dragon.

It fearlessly swept fire at the other Challengers charging forward!

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, incredibly explosive.

Simultaneously, an endless stream of Mecha Warriors continued to emerge from the underground openings, beginning to counterattack the Challenger forces’ tank groups.

Bang bang bang!

Several more Tiger Tanks were directly dismembered by the Mecha Warriors.

“My God.”

“What… what did Lin Ye design in this instance?!”

This time, Rommel was completely stunned.

His Adam’s apple uncontrollably bobbed violently, and his body involuntarily retreated repeatedly, then he jumped into his armored vehicle at the fastest speed.

“Everyone, get into your military equipment!”

“Immediately! Right now!”

“The Moscow plan is canceled! Everyone, operate your military equipment and attack these damn mechas with full force!”

Under these circumstances, Rommel clearly knew that it was impossible to divide his forces to Moscow anymore.

If he didn’t eliminate these Mecha Warriors as quickly as possible and destroy the underground mecha factory in Saint Petersburg, Saint Petersburg would be recaptured in minutes.

Sitting in the cockpit, Rommel rubbed his temples hard.

Not only because the weather was too cold, but also because he was too nervous, he had just experienced a hallucination.

Inside the Mecha Warrior’s helmet, was it actually a goblin’s head?!

“Damn it! This is truly hell!”

Rommel really wanted to convey this news to the Head of State and ask him how to make a decision…

Unfortunately, with the magnetic storm having destroyed all communication devices, he had to face all of this alone!
