The super-heavy self-propelled artillery mounting Gustav Cannons equipped with fully automatic loading systems and anti-gravity devices was the City of Immortals' weapon for breaking fortified positions. Both the City of Immortals and Kamar-Taj had paid an enormous price in manpower just to deploy them at an artillery position on the far side of Noahduen Town, far from the foot of Fimbulwinter Mountain. Technical personnel from the City of Immortals and a small number of recruited artillerymen formed the crews responsible for maintaining these massive guns and recording data for future improvements before they could be issued to other armies on a large scale.
Under orders from the battlefield command, fifteen massive guns with calibers exceeding 800 millimeters aimed at Fimbulwinter Mountain's summit and hurled their thunderous fury at the snowy peak. Every earth-shaking boom caused the already devastated local buildings to continue collapsing. Enormous shell casings were flung out by the ejection mechanisms, while nearly ten shells per minute were fired at the Enemy of Humanity. Whatever was on Fimbulwinter Mountain would surely flee in panic under such bombardment. The anti-air positions at the mountain's foot kept their sights trained on the sky, while powerful fire-control systems guided quad-barreled autocannons to precisely eliminate any stragglers that survived the Self-Propelled Siege Cannons.
Constantine and the suicide squad he had assembled infiltrated from a corner of the battlefield, weaving through gaps in the artillery bombardment. Their exceptional mobility worked in tandem with the artillery positions' covering fire, preventing the enemy from discovering the infiltration. He had to be this careful because he had just received an order that delighted his gene-enhanced mind. The order required him to take the boy to Fimbulwinter Mountain's summit, which was currently being ravaged by concentrated artillery fire.
The order coincided perfectly with his earlier plans, except
