Portal

"Marshal, there is another chaos army has landed in the south, the dwarf land."

Varennikov reported. The immortal army easily passes through the dwarf land and enters the elves' land. It is not even 24 hours away from where the Lord of Chaos landed.

Akhromeyev was shocked, all the fortifications, deployment of the army were according to the guide that the chaos would launch an attack from the west.

Not only according to the elves' intel, but also what they observe, since only the sea in the west is dark, while the other remain normal.

Now, when they flank from the south, nothing can stop them; the 2 million army will have the risk of getting surrounded.

What is even worse, there is a portal that can travel to the Soviet Union in the middle of their assault route, just a couple of kilometres away from Arkhangelsk.

The portal was one of the only two logistics routes for all the Red Army here; once it was lost, the chaos could enter the Soviet Union's original land, and they would also lose a very big proportion of supplies.

"We need time for our army to assemble; only a few local garrisons are not able to block them. What is the closest army unit that we have nearby?"

"I believe it will be the Orcs' legion, there are 100,000 of them in the legion, with various artillery and cannon."

"Send them to delay the assault of the chaos army. Same time, inform Moscow and Arkhangelsk about the incoming attack; they will need to prepare themselves."

The situation is worsening, if there is only the assault on the west, he can still able to cope with it. But now, there is another from the south, and they seem stronger than the others.

The worst scenario happens when they start to spread in the elves' land, by that time they will need to due it with their mobile forces. 

But mobile forces came with some problems; they are not in large quantities, and they do not have enough firepower.

"Comrade Varrenikov, we have to prepare for the worst case, prepare a plan for our troops to withdraw from the elves' land. Also, we have to prepare for the battle of Eldario; this city must be held in our hands."

However, the speed of the Lord of Chaos and Slaanesh is faster than what Akhromeyev thinks. They have already captured the portal by leading only their elite army, having a rapid march.

The only division and some rear and logistics forces that were garrisoned here were wiped out before they reacted by the Lord of Chaos.

Their body are now filled with the stream of chaos. Now, they were the puppets of the chaos, reporting to the high command that the portal was still under control.

"Go, do what you were best at, disrupt their rear, bring the war to their homeland, and unleash chaos."

Lord of Chaos looks at the portal and tells Slaanesh.

The latter said nothing, but smiled slightly and led his army into the portal.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the portal.

There is also only one second-line troops division guarding the portal, as no one expects the enemy can quickly take down the portal.

Soldiers here are young, not experienced. It does not matter, by the way, the ending will be the same.

One of the 18-year-old soldiers, who was the sentinel tonight, heard something.

"Sasha..."

Sasha seems confused because the sound was familiar, like someone he was always close to.

"Sasha... It's me, Natasha, I am behind you."

Sasha turned over his head, and incredibly, he saw that a girl was standing there in a nice dress. 

She is his girlfriend, childhood playmate, classmate and many others. Sasha was stunned for a moment and quickly ran to hug him.

"Natasha, why are you here?"

"Because I miss you."

Both have some talk.

But suddenly, Sasha sees that there is a monster running towards him, holding a weapon, and starts attacking Natasha at a distance.

"Natasha!"

He uses all the energy he has, all the skill he has learned from training, to protect Natasha and pull under him to block the attack.

Incredibly, the monster did not attack him, but waved his hand.

Sasha does not understand what it means and does not plan to understand it. He loaded his gun, aimed it, and pulled the trigger. 

After three shots, the monster fell.

Asking Natasha to stay where she at, he gets close to the monster with alert. When he is close enough, he fires another few shots to kill the monster, to make sure it is dead enough.

Then he turns his head, wanting to tell Natasha it is safe now.

But Natasha disappeared; instead, the monster he killed just now.

Sasha was stunned, he turned around his head to the monster he had just seen; it was not the monster, but his best comrade in the army.

It's too late to realise, his mind was corrupted, same like his body, his stomach starts to rot and the intestines begin to flow out.

Slowly, he feels the same feeling on his face, too. Until the end, he lost the feeling in every part of his body, same like his mind. He does not know who he is, where he is, or what he is, but only knows to follow an order.

It does not just happen to him, but almost everyone in the base. Only those who have strong will survive. One of the few who remained calm was the commissar; he is now doing his duty, sending the last message to Plainspire. They belonged to the army in the Land of Plain.

"We are under attack! I repeat, we are under attack, the base has lost, the enemies are using illusion and mind control to attack us. Our men are fighting each other in the best way they can."

"Send reinforcement... No, launch a high yield nuke here, destroy this place, don't let them enter our motherland, else... many of our people will die."
