Chapter 450 Steel Torrent!
It was getting light.
Duanmu Huai stood in front of the railing, staring at the distant horizon with a stern expression. Beside him, An, Gu Leiya, Ojisi and others stood there, looking at the scene in front of them with extremely shocked eyes.
"What an exaggeration..."
Even Shitsuka looked surprised at the moment.
"Do you really want to use this???"
"Of course, this is a provocation to the Inquisition. In that case, I don't mind letting Herman and AL teach the true power of my Inquisition!"
After Duanmuhuai said this, he looked at Maria standing aside.
"Start it."
"Understood!!"
Maria was already impatient. After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, she nodded hurriedly and came to the terminal next to her.
"All preparations, supervision of fuel replenishment and ammunition loading - ring the bell once, push the lever, start the piston and pump!"
As she spoke, Maria picked up the book next to her.
"The soul of the God of All Machines surrounds you..."
“Clang………………!!”
The big bronze bell swung slowly and made a dull sound. At the same time, the originally silent space began to vibrate, making a low and powerful sound.
"Toll the bell twice, press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, breathe life into it!"
“Clang…………!!”
The heavy bell rang again, and the dazzling light was like the light of life, covering everything.
"Ring the bell three times and sing in unison to praise the God of all opportunities!"
"Dang————!!!"
With the third bell, everything...is about to change.
Hermann's Southern Border Defense Line.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the deployment of the legions below, General Nero Capet VII of the Fourth Army felt his blood surging.
"Look, Krim!"
Nero, who was wearing gorgeous silver-white armor, was holding a rose in his hand, turning in a circle like the protagonist in an opera performance, pointing forward.
"This is our Hermann's army, my great, magnificent Fourth Army! In front of it, no one can stop our attack!"
"…………Are we really going to launch an attack? General?"
Standing next to Nero was the adjutant Krim, who was wearing Hermann's black armor, glasses, and blond hair. Her delicate brows were slightly wrinkled, and she obviously didn't agree with this.
"Of course! Lisas and Seth are no match for us at all. Lisas was invaded by Herman in the capital before, and Seth was just invaded by the demons. They have no time to take care of themselves. They have no ability to compete with us. Mann's Fourth Army is fighting! And my men——"
Having said this, Nero waved his hand fiercely.
"There are 50,000 soldiers here! No enemy is our opponent!"
"However, if we enter the other side's territory, we are likely to fall into a trap, and the orders we received do not include invading Sais and Lisas..."
"Humph..."
Hearing his adjutant's words, Nero's face sank, then he looked at his adjutant and asked.
"Krim, what army did you serve in before?"
Faced with Nero's question, Krim hurriedly lowered his head and answered seriously.
"Yes, sir, I initially served in the rear support force of the Second Army and was assigned to the Fourth Army six months ago."
"Hmph."
Hearing Krim's answer, Nero snorted.
"It turns out to be a rear supply unit. It's understandable that you are so neglectful of war and don't understand tactics. But in the Fourth Army, you have to obey my orders. Do you know who the ideal soldier is in my mind?"< br>
"This... I don't know."
"That is General Thomas who died gloriously during the Lisas offensive!"
Having said this, Nero closed his eyes and showed an intoxicated expression.
"What I respect most is the death of soldiers. Soldiers who risked their lives to fight and finally died gloriously for the country. What a beautiful scene! For our Fourth Army, this is our ideal, even if we die It doesn’t matter, as long as you die in battle with honor, that’s the best! This is the ideal that touches people’s hearts the most!”
“…………………………”
Seeing the man in front of her who was intoxicated with his lecture on chivalry, Adjutant Krim was completely speechless. She knew that although on the surface, Nero Capet 7 was indeed born into the famous Herman family, and he was still the chief Graduated from the elite sergeant academy, and is known as the first among Hermann's young descendants——but in fact everyone knows that whether it is the title of chief or the position of general of the Fourth Army, it is actually It was bought with money from the Capet family.
Otherwise, how could a young soldier like him rise to the top and become the commander of the Fourth Army, one of Hermann's five major armies? Not to mention, this man has no ability at all. For soldiers, dying in battle for the country is indeed an honor. But for this man, this is just an expression of satisfying his own vanity. He doesn't understand war or military at all, he doesn't understand anything at all, just like a child who knows nothing! Does he think that real war is as romantic as what is written in storybooks?
Has Herman become corrupt to this extent now?
Krim lowered his head, listening to Nero's boasting next to him, and felt anxious. Among Herman's five legions, the first legion guarded the royal city, the second legion guarded the demon defense line, and the third legion was located in the royal capital as a special mobile force. , the Fourth Army is responsible for guarding the southern border to prevent invasion from other countries, while the Fifth Army is deployed as a guerrilla force.
In terms of position, the Fourth Army's duty is to prevent invasion by other countries. But now, the position of commander of the Fourth Army has been given to a guy who only has family background and money, has no ability at all, and can only brag. Naturally this made Krim anxious. Because this means that Herman’s top management does not believe that other countries will invade Herman...
Although it makes sense that she also became Nero, after all, Seth is currently busy with reconstruction, and Lisas' side may not really take action against Herman.
But that's assuming they don't take the initiative to attack!
Once they really want to attack, it's hard to say whether Seth and Lisas will join forces to attack Herman!
Given Herman's current political situation, is it really... okay?
"Huh..."
Not knowing what his adjutant was thinking, Nero also let out a sigh of relief after finishing his speech, and then made a gesture.
"After talking so much, I feel thirsty. Come and serve some tea."
"Yes, General."
After hearing Nero's order, the waiter next to him soon came over and served him a cup of hot tea, and Nero also picked up the hot tea and put it to his mouth, but at this moment......
“Boom………………!”
The ground shook suddenly, causing Nero's hand holding the tea cup to shake, and he almost splashed tea on his clothes.
"Damn, what's going on?"
Nero put down the teacup in his hand unhappily and frowned.
"Is it an earthquake?"
"No, sir, it doesn't seem like an earthquake..."
Adjutant Krim's eyes widened, he looked forward uneasily, and said.
At the same time, the earth shook again.
"Boom————Dong——————!!!"
Smoke rose in the distance. At this moment, whether it was intuition or instinct, almost everyone stopped and subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Then, they saw an existence that they could not imagine at all.
"What is that??!!!"
Looking at the black shadow in the distance, Nero screamed strangely, while Krim hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.
Afterwards, her whole body became tense and she couldn't even believe her eyes.
Under the gaze of the telescope, they saw a huge, weird, terrifying, towering steel giant striding towards them. It was even taller than Herman's Royal City, and its entire body, including its legs and feet, seemed to be made of steel. But apart from that, the most eye-catching thing is that on the shoulders of this steel giant, there is also a magnificent and seemingly magnificent church!
Not only that, in front of this steel giant, Krim also saw several steel chariots that could travel on their own without the need for oxen and horses to pull them!
"Let me see!!"
Before Krim could take another look, Nero had already hurriedly grabbed the telescope and looked forward. The next moment, his face suddenly turned pale, his legs weakened, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
"Then, what is that?"
"I think it's probably an Inquisition weapon."
Krim naturally saw the skull and warhammer logos adorning the Iron Giant. In fact, the logo of the Tribunal is so easy to recognize that anyone who knows a little bit about the Tribunal will never forget it - it is really This logo has such a strong villain vibe.
"Your Excellency!"
Krim looked at Nero hurriedly and said.
"The situation is urgent now. We should immediately send someone to inform the Council of the matter! At the same time, gather the soldiers and refuse to defend the city!"
"Defend the city?"
Upon hearing this, Nero jumped up like a mouse whose tail was stepped on.
"Don't say "defending the city!" What a vulgar and funny word! You are not allowed to say it a second time!"
"But..."
"No but!"
Nero waved his hand violently, interrupting Krim's words.
"We, the Knights of Hermann, are invincible in the world! All we have to do is attack! Attack! Attack again! This spirit cannot be shaken at any time! The opponent only has a few steel monsters. I don't believe that our fourth legion, five Tens of thousands of soldiers cannot defeat these monsters! Even if you have to die, you must die on the way to attack the enemy! Send my order and prepare to attack the enemy!"
“……………………”
Looking at the furious Nero in front of him, Krim knew that it would be useless to say anything else.
