With the arrival of another few ballistic missiles, it declared the annihilation of these railway guns. This time, the ballistic missile hit the ammunition depot accurately, causing a huge explosion.
The mushroom cloud rises to the sky; the power of the explosion has no different from a small to medium yield nuclear explosion, except that it does not have radiation.
Even in Leningrad, the scene of the explosion can be seen. This is a boost of morale for all the defenders.
But this is not the end yet, there are still tens of railway guns coming, and a few of it has arrived at their position and are in operation.
Another few days passed, and the situation in Leningrad was improving.
The Plainspire front has also begun its assault. After using a few days to receive the latest equipment from Moscow, the railway guns in this direction also start losing their effectiveness.
The Red Army mechanised wave is charging to the portal, and anyone could see what they want to do now: close it and kill every chaos creature that remains here.
When Slaanesh's man told the news, she did not seem to care about it; her eyes remained on the direction of Leningrad.
Just after she stepped over the portal, she gained all the information about the Soviet Union situation from the garrison commander and Commissar Soul. She knew that the city in front of her army was Leningrad.
During these days of assault, she had some observations on the city, including the red stream that kept flowing into the city.
"So the national spirit, or the ideology, the will or whatsoever, came from here, huh. If it starts from here, then it should also end here."
Her eyes look at the highest point in the city centre, the 'Red Ghost' that absorbs all the red stream from all directions, becoming vicious.
"If I can take over the position, every single person in this country can be controlled by me, become my puppet. All these war machines, all their strong and tough soul will belong to me..."
And then, the Lord of Chaos will have to change to another; she will be the Lord of Chaos.
In fact, she has the chance to take over the city in the first few days after crossing the portal, but she is afraid, afraid of the Red Ghost. So she decided to let her army go first, see what it will do.
From the result, it does nothing, except for absorbing such a large amount of red stream of energy. This breaks the last concern of hers.
"How many railway guns have we left?"
"12, my lord. 4 of it is severely damaged, 5 of them are being transported from one position to another, 3 are in this direction, but I ordered them to stop firing, so that the Soviets will not be able to locate and destroy us." Slaanesh general said.
Slaanesh and the Chaos gods dictate their armies' destinations; generals handle all battlefield command.
"Send all of it here, wait for my command to fire."
"But my lord, the Red Army is attacking our rear..."
"Just listen to what I say! As long as we can take down this city, this whole country will show their submission and kneel to us."

On the other side of the portal, another, more insane fight is going on. On one hand, it was the orc legion, to prove their loyalty to the Soviet Union, these chosen orcs never considered of keeping saving their own life.
Except for the wrapped bullets and chains, they were also wrapped with a lot of bombs, so that they could rush into the enemy and explode when they died, if they could and close enough.
Similarly, the chaos creature is not afraid of death; despite having some defeat, they are still able to stabilise the situation here. The railway gun has arrived. Furthermore, this portal is extremely important; it shows whether the other god and her army can return, or the reinforcement can go and increase the scale of invasion.
The news of the Red Army rushing to the portal on the other side also came to the Lord of Chaos.
"Ask Slaanesh to retreat now! We have underestimated our enemy too much; we need to have a discussion."
The Lord of Chaos has now recovered after getting hit by a Soviet air-to-air missile. However, he does not want to waste time in this land anymore; the magic, energy, and mana on this land have almost gone.
Soviet fire, bombs, and mass destruction of weapons destroyed everything here. Nothing they can get from here.
This wouldn't be a problem if he were strong and the enemies were weak, but now he needs more mana and energy to grow.
"Lord Slaanesh refuses to do so. She seems to be all in now. She ordered to deploy all remaining heavy equipment to the city. I heard her general say that she wants to take down the city at all costs."
"She states that if she can take down the city, we would have won the battle, and control this whole country."
Lord of Chaos, listen, only reply with one word.
"Bullshit!"
---
"Fire!"
The remaining 8 railway guns fire together, only once; they destroy all the fortifications that have been built, all the bunkers and buildings that have been consolidated.
Slaanesh starts to walk forward, though the protection shield has limited effectiveness, it still restricts her speed of movement. And very important, the closer she gets to the 'Red Ghost', the harder she can walk.
There is a very strong aura of suppression acting on her.
In the bunker of the Kirov district, everyone feels a sense of danger. On the computer in front of them, it shows that God is coming.
"Where is it?" The man who is in charge asks.
"We believe this is it."
From the sky, the drones are sending back the real-time image, which shows there is a humanoid creature walking towards the city centre. The Chaos army goes around her, leaving a vacuum area around, which also makes the drones locate her.
"Is the weapon finished charging?"
"Yes, of course, comrade."
"Raise it to the ground."
While it rose to the ground, Slaanesh had also stopped below the highest point.
She then rose to the sky, looking at the red ghost face-to-face. The red ghost just remains how it's supposed to be.
"What are you? Never in my life have I seen something like you." Slaanesh is curious about it; she reaches out and touches it.
"Ahhhh! My hand." The moment she touched it, she got burned.
Will a god get burned?
"Doesn't matter, just let me replace you."
She then reached out her hand again; this time, it was not touching but trying to absorb it.
Just at this moment, her side vision sees a red beam coming toward her, and her outstretched hand immediately turned to the red laser.
She didn't hide. She felt it: another surge of raw energy. And energy? She could absorb it—just as she had at the portal, where she devoured a nuclear blast whole.
But this time, she is wrong. The red beam penetrates her whole body, and every part of her body starts to be annihilated. The aura that belongs to her starts to disappear.
Lord of Chaos, on the other side of the portal, feels it, lowers his head.
"Another old friend has gone," he mumbles.
