Chaos is here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run, run, run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, don’t kill me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowds crushed, trampled, shoved—countless Defense Force soldiers had utterly discarded discipline, tactics, everything, their minds consumed by one thought: retreat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the rear, to a safer place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Defense Force collapse into a chaotic, panicked rout, easily slaughtered by cultists, it was hard to believe… this was once an army trained, disciplined, and just days ago capable of suppressing the cultists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morale is a strange thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible, intangible, yet undeniably real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When morale was high and hope remained, even under extreme hardship, the Planetary Defense Force had held their ground, fighting hand-to-hand with the mad cultists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… when morale shattered and hope vanished entirely, the Planetary Defense Force turned their backs on the enemy, shoving, trampling, crushing their own comrades—transforming utterly into a mass flight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold your positions! Not a single step back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commissar Gray strained every ounce of strength to stabilize the crumbling morale and lines, but alas… under enemy fire from both front and rear, even the Imperial Guard struggled to hold their nerve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much less so the Planetary Defense Force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get back! Return to your lines!” Commissar Gray kicked a fleeing soldier to the ground, pressed his gun to the man’s head, eyes blazing: “The rear guard—anyone who retreats one step, I’ll shoot him dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, after the order was given, no one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commissar Gray froze for several seconds, then turned in disbelief—behind him, besides Alvin, whose face was etched with bitterness, even the communications soldier had fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the rear guard—the entire front was collapsing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one obeyed orders anymore; everyone, driven by instinct, fled wildly—aimless, directionless, like a flock of terrified sheep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commissar Gray’s eyes burned with fury, yet he was powerless, gun in hand, staring blankly around him, utterly lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a situation, no commissar or commander could ever rally these broken troops again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boost morale?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be ridiculous—since the moment Upper Nest’s gate opened and the Warp demons poured out, every damn morale-boosting tactic had become meaningless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We… have lost…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commissar Gray, filled with bitter despair, stared helplessly as the shattered army fled like pigs or livestock, chased and slaughtered by cultists and demons, his eyes brimming with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were the Imperial Guard, perhaps there might still be a chance to turn the tide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these Planetary Defense Force troops were not the Emperor’s warriors; more accurately, they were the Viceroy’s private armed forces—lacking pure faith and refined skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray had gone to great lengths to conceal the situation in Upper Nest, fearing it would shatter morale—but now… it was all meaningless. All that awaited them was slaughter by Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, cries rang out from all directions: “Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Khorne cult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commissar, we must retreat now!” Alvin glanced at the bio-map—its surface thick with red heat signatures, clearly indicating they were surrounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Commissar Gray was unwilling, he had no other choice now but to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive fortifications around headquarters had been built extremely sturdy; even with the cultists’ numerical advantage, they could not easily breach this hard nut in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this, precisely, gave Alvin the crucial time he needed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“185th Regiment, 3rd Company—47 men, assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diz wiped blood from his face, grinning foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him stood the 3rd Company’s last 47 men—nearly all bore wounds, their appearance pitiful, yet the one thing different in their eyes… was unyielding battle spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, give the order—let’s fight these bastards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, give the order, Captain—we’re not afraid to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the 3rd Company’s soaring morale, Alvin took a deep breath, moved, eyes slightly red, and shouted: “Everyone—follow me and the Commissar! We’re retreating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all the Defense Force was retreating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny fraction still resisted, stubbornly and resolutely, against Chaos and the cultists, according to their own circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 185th Regiment’s 3rd Company was one of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not everyone fully understood the order, a captain was still a captain—they chose to obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a born commander!” Even Commissar Gray was astonished, watching these 3rd Company soldiers who still possessed fighting will and unquestioning loyalty to orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember—there was no rear guard here; this was pure, heartfelt devotion. Only one possibility existed… Alvin held immense prestige within this company!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, he’d risen to such towering authority through a sudden deployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commissar Gray had seen men like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without exception, they all eventually became heroes famed across the Imperial Guard and the Empire itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Alvin… Commissar Gray saw hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the group began retreating,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sturdy defensive fortifications were suddenly shattered by an overwhelming force—a terrifying shockwave, visible as a blast of air, flung them all backward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin, landing on the ground, felt a dreadful premonition—immense fear surged over him, waves of slaughter and bloodshed, accompanied by a terrifying gale, rushing toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A… Alvin!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Emeric’s voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Alvin finally heard clearly—he was certain: it was Emeric!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Khorne Chosen swung his axe once—shattering the sturdy fortifications—and stepped over the collapsed ruins, clad in the blasphemous armor of the Blood God, like an invincible war god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crimson gaze locked onto Alvin’s direction, roaring thunderously: “Coward—come fight me!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TMD, Khorne is still chasing me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin cursed loudly—he’d barely escaped last time with heavy artillery cover; what the hell was he supposed to do now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but search for post-hemorrhoid surgery advice… and felt even more terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>",1184,"2026-06-20T00:45:41.385Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e15eddb393ec8a98c7f3fd7ce00c87b515e1365736f5316d81cbc2c28f947f3e","starting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-chapter-120","starting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-chapter-118",588,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-cover.jpg"]
