The Chosen of Khorne!

Although he was promoted to "Company Commander," whether or not he could retreat was not up to Alvin.

But at least it can shut the Commissar up!

Alvin led the remaining squad to retreat about 200 meters behind, to the entrance where the streets converged.

While seemingly observing the terrain with tension, the Bio-armor actually allowed the entire neighborhood's terrain, as well as the markings of both sides, to be displayed on the retina.

In a colloquial sense... he's cheating!

In strategy games, the importance of maps is self-evident. In real warfare, the value of having a "transparent full map cheat" is self-evident.

Alvin managed to hold off several waves of attacks thanks to his "full map cheat," and then he urgently deployed his battle plan, just like before.

"Please contact Commissar Grey for me!"

Alvin turned and shouted at the communications soldier.

Soon, the communication array was activated, and Commissar Grey's image appeared. He looked at Alvin and grinned. "Good, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. You actually detected the cult's movements and proactively tightened your defenses before being surrounded!"

Clearly, Commissar Grey was fully aware of what was happening at the front lines and did not believe there was anything wrong with his decision.

Alvin glanced at the Commissar, his expression one of silent contempt.

The Commissar's face turned purplish-blue, but he was too choked to speak. The political Commissar had already spoken; what was he to him?

"Tell me... what do you want?"

Commissar Grey immediately saw through his thoughts. "Considering your command skills, I'll try my best to accommodate you."

"If I said... I know Tech-Priest Aruman, would you let me go back?" Alvin asked tentatively.

"Cannot."

Commissar Grey said with a smile, "However, for the sake of Priest Aruman, you may ask me for anything you need."

Given the current battle situation, there's simply no manpower available to command the conscripted civilians. We finally managed to capture a young man with leadership abilities; how could we possibly let him go?

As for whether there will be retaliation afterward?

He wasn't concerned about this at all. If the cult couldn't be eradicated, everyone would die anyway, so why bother with anything else?

"All right..."

Alvin, he said in a deep voice, "I need armor! I need heavy firepower! I need at least fully functional weapons, and communication equipment for liaison!"

After the fierce fighting just now, the company of several hundred men was running out of weapons and ammunition, and without heavy firepower, it was difficult to suppress the cult's mass attack!

Even with a transparent map overlay, it can't withstand a large number of people!

Only at this moment did Alvin truly realize that all those admirable virtues—heroism, nobility, Dreadnought —could not compare to the overwhelming firepower that could engulf everything like a tidal wave!

Firepower! Firepower! Firepower!

Alvin's mind was filled with those two words; his fear of insufficient firepower from his past life was practically ingrained in his bones!

If he even had a Venomblade Tank, would those cult scum be so arrogant?

"This request is reasonable."

Commissar Grey gave him a deep look, then turned and said, "Did you hear that? His company will be reorganized into the Provisional Regiment 177, Alvin Company, with equipment and supplies provided according to the Defense Force's standards."

The fierce battle continues!

But soon, under the heavy firepower of the Regiment 177's Alvin Company, the cult's mass human wave charge tactics became less effective at the intersection of this street.

This was partly due to Alvin's command, but more importantly, it was due to the fact that the civilians, after experiencing a bloodbath, were completely transformed, no longer fearful or trembling!

The massive firepower directly suppressed the cult!

"Shoot me hard!"

Alvin seemed possessed by the god of war, holding a heavy double-barreled Bolter, and unleashing tons of explosives at the cult's madmen, raining down on the enemy's position!

In an instant, a large cloud of blood mist exploded!

A torrent of scorching explosives swept through the area, and any cult fanatics who were touched were sent flying in disarray, their limbs and flesh exploding into clouds of blood mist!

Suddenly!

The air around us inexplicably became unsettling and oppressive!

In an instant, Alvin sensed something was wrong. The chilling, surging malice was like a raging torrent, prompting him to instinctively jump out of the building.

Rumble!!!

The violent explosion of flames leveled the entire building!

Grass... that's Psychic Power!

As Alvin was thrown back by the explosion, such a thought flashed through his mind before he was slammed hard against the wall of the ruins by the blast wave.

If it weren't for the Bio-armor, the explosion would have been enough to seriously injure him.

Alvin shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind, and then he saw a scene that horrified him!

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the densely packed cult crowd. He was clad in heavy, blood-red armor, covered in blasphemous and twisted runes, and wore a helmet that obscured his face. He resembled a "monster" shrouded in blood-red light!

Each step it takes is like that of a heavy tank.

The ground around him trembled violently, and it strode forward at an extremely fast speed, its target very clear!

What is this thing?!

Shocked, Alvin grabbed his Heavy Bolter and pulled the trigger hard at the charging "monster"!

Boom!

In an instant, a barrage of explosives tore through the air like a tsunami!

However, a terrifying scene unfolded before him: the "monster" clad in blood-red spiked armor was surprisingly agile and nimble, dodging the bullet the instant he pulled the trigger.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Alvin's pupils contracted, and he quickly retreated. "Concentrate fire, aim at this monster, and fire!"

From the ruins of the houses on both sides, a large amount of ammunition was poured out in a crisscross pattern towards the twisted and blasphemous creature clad in blood-red armor!

Boom boom boom...

Countless bullets blasted at the "monster".

However, it was all blocked by that blood-red armor. The explosive shells hit it but didn't even leave a mark before being deflected. Tons of ammunition couldn't stop its movement at all!

In an instant, the monster was upon them.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he pulled out a blood-red axe, carrying a terrifying Blood Qi of blood and gore, and emitting the mournful screams of countless wronged souls, and cleaved directly at Alvin!

Quick!

The axe blade almost became a blur!

But in that life-or-death moment, the Void Shield inside the Rose Knot that Winnie left him was activated!

Boom!

The monster's powerful attack was blocked by the Void Shield!

Alvin broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the Void Shield, he probably would have been cleaved in two even while wearing Bio-armor.

Suddenly.

From that blood-red armor, covered in blasphemous symbols and twisted spikes, came a voice that was extremely familiar to Alvin, yet chilled him to the bone!

"Mr. Alvin..."

It's the last day of August. I hope I can get some recommendations next month. The days without recommendations are so tough. If God would give me another chance, I hope the book can be released later.
