Before invasion

Astalia,

Nazg, the city of tombs,

This is a city located in a huge cemetery, composed of countless tombstones, coffins, urns, skeletons, etc.

Excluding the breath of death and the power of curses. This is also the political, religious, military, and economic center of Nazg. It is also the residence of Nazg's emperor and national advisor, as well as the habitat of countless undead.

The God of Death is the emperor of the Undead with supreme death magic and terrifying curses. He is also the emperor of Nazg, ruling over all living and undead souls in Nazg, as well as other evil forces such as vampires and lichs, ghouls, ghosts, etc.

His goal is to turn the entire alien world into his graveyard and make all life surrender to his power of death.

The palace he was in was a huge black pyramid located in the center of the city of tombs. It was composed of countless bones, coffins, tombstones, skeletons, etc., exuding the breath of death and the power of curse.

This is the residence and throne of the God of Death, the center from which he rules over all living and undead creatures of Knuckles, and the source of his death magic and horrific curses.

The interior of the Royal Palace is a maze full of darkness and coldness, consisting of countless passages, rooms, halls, basements, tombs, etc. Each place hides various traps, monsters, puzzles, secrets, and treasures.

At the top is a huge circular hall, with countless skulls and bones forming a tall dome, which is engraved with various runes and patterns, representing the laws and will of the God of Death.

This is the throne and altar of Death, where he receives and judges his subjects and enemies, and where he issues his orders and proclamations.

Surrounded by a wall guarded by countless undead and evil forces, it is composed of countless spikes, swords, runes, curses, etc., exuding an aura of violence and the power of killing.

At this time, a guard was excitedly running into the palace belonging to Emperor Nazg's Death God.

"Your Majesty, the National Master's 'Aurora Mist' plan was successful. Just now, the National Master successfully moved the country that we tracked to have a large amount of 'Faguang' to our world, and the National Master Your Excellency also said that he has not sensed any traces of magic in this country, and believes that this is just a barbarian country that can be slaughtered by us."

The 'Aurora Mist' plan was secretly planned and implemented by Nazg's emperor and national advisor.

National Master Maldock, the empire's highest wisdom, researched and tracked that the land of the huge country of the Soviet Union may have a large amount of the 'Faguang' they needed.

Years of war have resulted in the severe reduction of the 'Faguang' on their land, and the method used to allow the 'Faguang' to grow rapidly has also resulted in the originally fertile land becoming increasingly barren.

Now they only have three months left in their reserve of 'Faguang'. If the problem of 'Faguang' is not solved, they will lose the future war with the elves and dwarves.

Before that, they took advantage of the death of the elven king to launch a surprise attack and rushed to the capital city before being blocked by the tall city wall and the incoming elven reinforcements.

In this battle, they occupied a large number of lands belonging to the elves and their allies, the dwarves, and purged the lands of the elves and dwarves, making them a part of the Nazg.

Therefore, the elves and dwarves will counterattack in the future, and it will still be a cruel revenge war.

Although the God of Death does not care about the death of his undead, he is worried that the land he conquered and developed into a cemetery that can continuously provide him with undead and 'Faguang' will be taken back by the elves and dwarves.

However, the effect of 'Faguang' is to allow the 'power of death' of the God of Death to be applied to living beings, turning them into undead. Even if a large amount of land with 'Faguang' is conquered, the increase of undead will also increase the consumption of 'Faguang' rapidly.

The output and reserves of the land just conquered are not high, so the God of Death can only use Nazg's reserves to maintain it.

And at the same time, they are also actively looking for land with a large amount of 'Faguang'.

It may be fate that allows them to find the Soviet Union in another world.

Death and Maldoc used the empire's most powerful magicians and the most mysterious magic rituals to create a strange aurora and fog that could obscure the sky and space, hiding and teleporting the entire Soviet Union from the earth to another world.

The purpose of this was to prevent other nations on Earth from discovering and interfering with their operations, as well as to cause panic and confusion in the Soviet Union so that they would be unable to resist Imperial attack and conquest.

But, they had no information about the country other than its land area.

To prevent this country from being too powerful and suffering backlash, they also contacted their ally Octa, the orc kingdom, and invited them to invade this huge country together.

Octa also attached great importance to this invitation and secretly sent nearly ten million orcs to the plains of Nazg.

The Land of the Plains is the most remote province of the Nazg Empire and the habitat of countless human farmers and herdsmen.

This is a province made up of cities located on a vast plain. Each city is composed of countless grains, livestock, wells, fences, etc., exuding a calm atmosphere and the power of life.

It is also the border area of the Nazg Empire where they grew and harvested all their food and livestock. The lords who rule here were all exiled here by the God of Death for various reasons.

As for why a country composed of the undead needs food, although the undead do not need to eat to maintain life, they still have some human habits and desires, such as tasting delicious food.

Lords also needed grain as a currency and symbol of wealth, as well as a means of controlling and rewarding their subjects and slaves.

Nazg also needs food as a weapon and strategic tool, such as destroying and contaminating the enemy's food so that the enemy can better become undead.

As for why humans are not turned into undead, it's not that the God of Death doesn't want to, but that human souls are too powerful.

Killing a human directly will cause them to generate resentful spirits that require more 'Faguang' to make them join Nazg.

So they usually wait for humans to die due to other reasons before transforming into undead.

Besides, they can work for a whole day with just one meal. Where can you find such a good slave in this world?

Also arriving with nearly ten million orcs was a diplomat from Octa, the six-star general Corporal Aba Aba.

Don't underestimate this six-star general and corporal. When he was young, Aba Aba was a general marshal with outstanding military exploits.

When the orcs failed to invade the human kingdom of Karak and were counterattacked by humans, Aba Aba was ordered to take over.

With his extraordinary command talent and unusual strategic vision, he led the defeated generals who were defeated by the human army and some old, weak, sick, and disabled people urgently transferred from the country to withstand the human offensive, and then counterattacked to the original borderline.

This war brought Aba Aba's prestige in the military to its peak. Whenever the orcs won a victory, they would shout "Long live Octa! Long live Marshal Aba Aba!"

This worried Skolm, the king of Octa at the time, but he couldn't kill him, otherwise what if the country was invaded again in the future?

Moreover, this would easily make people suspicious of him. 

Just after Aba Aba led his army back to the capital city of Orcs and accepted Skoll's promotion to become the only generalissimo since the founding of Octa.

One day, Aba Aba just woke up. Suddenly he found that he couldn't move his lower body anymore.

As for the reason, it must be something done by King Skoll. After Ababa became paralyzed, Skoll came to his home and had a conversation with him. Skoll advised him earnestly,

"Generalissimo, now that your legs and feet are inconvenient, you will not be able to go to the battlefield again. What will you do if you are assassinated by the enemy? Otherwise, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have a very important embassy position vacant.

Come out, it is related to the future of our Octa and our cooperation with our allies. I need someone with a strategic mind like you to do it. I wonder if you are willing to go?"

How could a genius like Abba Abba not understand the subtext of what Skoll said?

Abba Abba, who figured it out, immediately responded,

"I am touched that His Highness can be so considerate of me. Since His Highness is willing to let me go abroad to study at the embassy, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful. I would like to thank Your Highness here."

In this way, Aba Aba gave up his status as generalissimo and came to Nazg's embassy as a military attache. He stayed there for decades.

In the end, he was promoted to ambassador and military attache and was given the unique title of Okta since the founding of the country. The unique military rank of six-star general plus corporal.

He often asked his friends, "I have been walking on thin ice in my life. Do you think I can make it to the other side?"

At least for now, there is a good chance of reaching the other side.

Considering that the orcs dispatched nearly 10 million troops this time, and Aba Aba's performance in the embassy in the past few decades, the newly appointed king, Skor's son Rigel, appointed him to be the leader of this operation.

The commander-in-chief has the power to communicate directly with the God of Death. He does not need to report to the king and has full control over everything in this operation.

After listening to the words of his guards, the God of Death looked at Abba Abba sitting below him and said,

"Abajun, it seems that we have overestimated our opponents this time. They are just a group of barbarians without magic. Why don't we wait for daybreak and launch a joint attack between our two armies? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty the God of Death, I think your Majesty's suggestion is exactly what I want. I also ask Your Majesty to let me go to Plains Province to take command personally. I want to witness with my own eyes our orc army and your undead army destroy this barbarian city." Aba Aba replied.

"Well, that's it. I wish Mr Aba good luck in the war, and remember to come back and tell me what the beautiful scenery was like when our coalition forces attacked the barbarian city."

Long before the Soviet Union crossed over, the God of Death arranged for a large number of undead legions to gather in the Plains Province, preparing to join the orc army to launch a ground attack on the country that crossed over.

In addition to the ground troops, the God of Death also arranged for nearly 400,000 dragon knights to be here on standby.

Of course, the dragons ridden by the dragon knights were composed of the corpses of dragons they had resurrected with necromancy.

There is also a special kind of dragon. This kind of dragon was the top and purest dragon in life. It could breathe fire, and ice, and even create strong winds. However, after death, it was transformed into a soul-eating dragon by Nazg.

Only a few of the most elite dragon knights can ride them. In addition to wearing magic shields and equipment that can directly defend against heavy crossbows, they can spit out saliva that can corrode the soul.

Therefore, the dragon knight who rides this kind of dragon is also called the "Soul-Eating Dragon Knight".

But even for this kind of dragon knight, the God of Death also sent 30,000 soul-eating dragon knights.

This was already the majority of the soul-eating dragon knights in the entire Nazg, and only 10,000 were left on standby in the capital.

In the center of these 30,000 soul-eating dragon knights, there was a particularly sinister-looking man sitting on the back of a nine-headed soul-eating dragon, listening to the adjutant reporting the news from the scouts.

He is the lord of the bloody land of Nazg, the one who is called Crazy Rick. He is a ruthless, cruel, violent, and bloodthirsty undead general. Even among many undead generals, he is also the best.

He only obeys the orders of the emperor and national advisor of the Nazg Empire, is loyal to the interests and glory of the Nazg Empire, and enjoys the pleasure of killing and conquest, which is his greatest desire.

He is the most powerful warrior of the Nazg Empire and the most terrifying enemy of the Nazg Empire.

Therefore, he was also appointed by the God of Death as the commander-in-chief of this operation.

"Your Highness, the scouts have just returned from the territory of the barbarians. According to the report, the barbarians did not find any traces of magic as the national master said. They are a low-level human kingdom.

There are two cities closest to us, One is a small city called Vyborg, and the other is a large city called Leningrad.

The scouts also discovered a typical palace belonging to the human kingdom in Leningrad.

Their emperor may be inside, and some buildings may be the residences of human nobles, so the subordinates believe that Leningrad is the capital of the country.

They may have been prepared during the previous summons of the national army.

The streets were full of troops, but their army may not be as good as the ordinary human kingdoms we destroyed before.

Most of their soldiers held a small stick, and some also held larger ones. The scouts did not find spear points or blades on these sticks, nor did they find any crossbow arrows.

In addition, the scouts also discovered that these human armies had built many chariots similar to those in the human kingdom, some were large and some were small, and these chariots had one or even several long, black iron pipes in front of them, some were also large and some were small.

Some human soldiers will enter and control the chariots just like the human kingdom. The only difference is that these chariots do not have any magical aura. "

After listening, Crazy Rick said disdainfully,

"Hmph, it seems that this is another boring massacre.I thought there was something special about what the national master summoned. Pass this news to Aba Aba, and we will attack together with the orc army at dawn.

I won't go out and leave it to you to take command.I will wait for your good news at the rear. Don't come to me unless you encounter something difficult."

—----

9 o'clock in the morning, in Leningrad city,

At this time, the city of Leningrad no longer had the usual atmosphere of people coming and going, only soldiers patrolling and standing guard in the streets, and checkpoints everywhere.

A large number of tanks and armored vehicles were parked on the roadside, and various anti-aircraft missiles and artillery were covered with camouflage nets.

As early as Brezhnev issued the order for general mobilization and the country entered a state of war, a large number of civilians were evacuated to underground facilities in Leningrad.

Since the top Soviet officials blocked the news in order not to cause panic, these civilians hid underground.

Most of them still didn't know what happened, and they were all speculating why the Americans suddenly launched the attack, or that the Red Army had already reached there at this time.

When these underground facilities were first built, they were considered to allow civilians to avoid nuclear threats from NATO countries.

The food and supplies stored in them are enough to keep the civilians there for several months.

Also located in these underground facilities was the headquarters of the Northern Front. At this time, Front Army Commander Nikolai Gubanov, Deputy Commander Vasily Petrov, and

Chief of Staff Yuri Kovalev were boringly discussing everything outside the command post.

After all, the Soviet Union traveled to Apart from the top brass in Moscow and the border guards, only senior military officials like them knew the news about the other world.

They don't need to make any special arrangements. After all, the Soviet Ministry of Defense has already prepared a script for all armies. If a war occurs, just follow the script according to the situation.

After the three of them arranged the deployment of the army yesterday, they had nothing to do. At most, they received reports from their subordinates that reinforcements from that military region had arrived again, and where the reinforcements would be deployed.

Since Leningrad on Earth is not the front line directly facing NATO troops, the Northern Front Army is not considered strong among the many front armies.

Before the war began, the Northern Front had jurisdiction over the 7th, 14th, 15th, and 16th Group Armies, with a total strength of about 300,000, equipped with about 5,000 tanks, 6,000 armored vehicles, 3,000 artillery pieces, and 700 aircraft.

Among them, those stationed in Leningrad are the 21st Guards Tank Division and the 2nd Guards Tank Division, as well as the troops of the Leningrad Military District, with a total strength of about 100,000, equipped with about 2,000 tanks and 3,000 armored vehicles. 1000 guns, 300 aircraft.

Most of this equipment is from the 1950s and 1960s, such as the T-54/55 and T-62. It is far inferior to the equipment of the Western Front and the Western Group stationed in Germany.

Other units of the Northern Front are stationed on the border. For example, the 14th Army is stationed in the Karelia area on the Finnish border.

It has the 18th, 19th, and 61st Motorized Infantry Divisions, the 100th Tank Division, and the 131st Self-Propelled Artillery Brigade, 10th Air Defense Missile Brigade, 16th Engineer Brigade, etc.

The 23rd Army, stationed in the Murmansk area on the Finnish border, has the 6th, 104th, and 131st Motorized Infantry Divisions, the 1st Tank Division, the 112th Self-Propelled Artillery Brigade, the 8th Air Defense Missile Brigade, the 17th Engineering Brigade, etc.

The only one stationed near Leningrad is the 76th Airborne Division, stationed in Pskov, which has the 104th, 234th, and 237th Airborne Regiments, the 117th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, the 114th Air Defense Missile Regiment, the 107th Engineering Regiment, etc..

As well as the 7th Independent Tank Brigade, stationed in Sloviansk near Leningrad, has the 13th, 14th, and 15th Tank Regiments, the 7th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, the 7th Air Defense Missile Regiment, the 7th Engineering Regiment, etc.

After the war began, the Northern Front not only received reinforcements from the Moscow Military District and the Ural Military District but also mobilized many reserves to return to the army.

Therefore, the garrison in Leningrad City has now increased from the original 100,000 to 300,000.

In addition to the army entering Leningrad, many special forces from the KGB also entered the city, preparing to assist the border guards in their cross-border investigation tomorrow.

After receiving the order in Tashkent, Chernov took his mobile task force and rushed to Moscow non-stop.

On the first night, he was told that the radar could not be used so only fighter jets could take off. But he had no choice but to take the train first.

The next night, he was told that the radar was available and asked to take a transport plane to Leningrad at a nearby airport. At this time, he had just gotten off the plane and was enjoying his breakfast today.

At this time, it is 200 kilometers west of Leningrad. Before they were transferred, it was a sea area belonging to the Gulf of Finland. After entering this world, it became a plain.

The originally peaceful plain began to shake violently at this moment, and the land began to crack. From a small crack at the beginning, it later became as wide as a canyon and was bottomless.

A large number of dragon knights suddenly rose into the sky and flew east, along with Nazg's undead army.

The undead army climbed directly to the ground along the cracked cliff.

Then some of the undead began to gather near an undead wearing armor and holding a big sword, while the other part continued to walk eastward.

When the Undead with the Great Sword saw that more and more undead gathered around him, he held the sword behind his hands and thrust it hard into the ground. In an instant, a majestic force spread out around him with him as the center.

The surrounding undead have received this power, which makes them seem to become stronger.

Whether it was the undead that had turned into bones or still had flesh and blood, at this moment, armor like the undead like the big sword appeared in front of them, and the weapons in their hands also changed from ordinary to gleaming enchanted weapons.

After seeing the changes in this undead, the Great Sword undead said nothing and walked back. The undead on both sides immediately used their bodies to build a ladder for him.

The Great Sword undead walked to the highest point and then pointed the big sword in his hand toward the east.

Go, these undead souls who had just received their power seemed to have received some order, and each summoned an undead horse of their own and rushed eastward.

There are only ten thousand people in this group of undead, and they are inconspicuous among the tens of millions of undead, but the damage they are about to cause is greater than tens of millions of ordinary undead.

And further away from here, in the plain that originally belonged to the Baltic Sea, the six-star general Corporal Aba Aba had rushed here overnight from the city of tombs. He walked to an open plain, his eyes seemed to have regained their former glory, he raised his hands and shouted.

"Wake up! My warriors of Octa, the time has come, we go to war!" 

After that, figures suddenly stood up on the originally empty plain, and airships filled with goblins began to rise from the ground. Aba's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by the orcs dozens of kilometers nearby.

These orcs had been ambushed here several months ago, waiting for this moment, so that their bodies were covered with grass.

Soon, the originally empty plain was now filled with almost ten million orcs, and the sky was filled with hundreds of thousands of wooden airships carrying millions of goblins. They held weapons in their hands and cheered loudly,

"Attack! Attack! Attack!"
