Chapter 451 Thunder Roar
Standing on the platform, Duanmu Huai stared at the city in the distance with cold eyes. This time Duanmu Huai has put in a lot of effort to deal with Herman - in addition to a 64-meter-tall Emperor-class Titan, Duanmu Huai is also equipped with an armored battalion. These include three Poison Sword heavy attack tanks, fifteen Leman Russ siege tanks, and six Valkyrie gunships.
Frankly speaking, using these to deal with a country with a medieval civilization level is basically like using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes and kill chickens with a knife.
In fact, if you just think about fighting, you only need a few Leman Russ tanks, or a single Night Crow Black Star is enough.
But for Duanmu Huai, the purpose of this battle is not just victory.
Although due to insufficient intelligence, Duanmu Huai could not figure out why the AL Church took action against him, but in any case, the moment the AL Church took action against the Inquisition, the nature of this war became a holy war.
Duanmu Huai's original idea was to deal with the life and death of these indigenous gods after he had dealt with the creation gods, but now that the other party came to the door, it might not be a bad idea to change the order.
In fact, the reason why Duanmu Huai made such a fuss was the same as when he used orbital bombing against the Na'vi on Pandora.
Establish authority.
The protagonists in many online articles often like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. They can clearly win, but they have to be cautious and hide their trump card until the end. So much so that the enemy thinks that the protagonist's victory is just good luck, and then carelessly overturns the situation.
Of course, from a purely tactical level, this may be correct. But the problem is that the nature of jihad is different.
It can be said that from now on, the Inquisition will compete with the AL Sect for believers on this continent—to put it bluntly, they will start to directly compete for believers!
In this case, it is essential to show the unparalleled power and unstoppable majesty of the Tribunal to all believers. The strategy of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is absolutely unacceptable at this time. We must be strong, strong, and stronger, directly pushing the AL teacher into the corner, making him tremble.
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai built this Emperor-class Titan and released it.
He just wants to tell the believers on this continent that I am such a dick! Even the goddess you believe in, Alice, has to kneel down and sing "Conquer" in front of me!
Duanmu Huai didn't believe that there was anything in the AL religion that could compare to the Emperor-level Titan. Once the AL religion lost its momentum, its followers would naturally decrease. In addition, the Tribunal offers discounts and even free medical treatment—you know who the believer will choose without asking.
Many times, believers choose gods because they hope to have a backer. And if he finds that his backer is not strong enough, it will be a matter of time before he changes his family.
Of course, another reason besides this is to give Maria some experience. As a mechanical engineer, of course she can't just read books in the back, but also go to the front line to observe the performance of these machines in actual combat, and then determine improvement plans. So Duanmuhuai simply formed an armored formation and gave it to Maria to command.
Just as Duanmuhuai's Tribunal army was advancing, the soldiers of Hermann's Fourth Legion also discovered these huge steel creations. They were frightened, overwhelmed, and didn't know what to do. Soon the commander asked the general for instructions, and then they got the order from the general.
The whole army attacks! Destroy the enemies!
assault? ? ?
Looking at the orders in front of them, many generals couldn't even believe their eyes. You want them to fight these huge steel monsters with their flesh and blood? Not to mention the giant that is taller than the mountain, how can we attack him?
Rush over and die? !
However, military orders were hard to disobey, and soon after receiving the order, the entire Fourth Army was dispatched, led by Knight Hermann, and rushed directly towards the armored corps in front. Of course, they still have some considerations deep in their hearts - after all, there are tens of thousands of people on their side, and although the opposite side looks scary, the number is limited. In this case, is it not impossible to fight?
perhaps?
However, while they were taking action, the armored regiment in front had already begun action.
"Boom————!!"
The first one to fire was the Poison Sword super-heavy tank in the center. With a thunderous roar, a seismic bomb roared out - these shells were not ordinary shells, they were not filled with gunpowder. Highly explosive chemicals, but from fragments of planets destroyed by the Extinction Order.
To put it simply, the fragments of these seismic bombs are the fragments that erupted when the planet was completely destroyed by the Extinction Order - the explosion and shock wave when a planet was destroyed were preserved in this way, and installed after multiple procedures. Into the shell.
When it explodes, it brings that power back to the battlefield.
Just like now.
"————————!!!"
The whizzing artillery shells passed through the battlefield and directly hit the front line of the Fourth Army. Immediately afterwards, a hell-like scene appeared - the earth began to tremble, and a huge earthquake occurred in the center of the battlefield without warning. The explosion directly enveloped most of the Fourth Legion, and the roaring shock wave swept across the battlefield, tearing everything in its path into pieces.
As for the soldiers who were farther away and were not affected, the situation was not much better. The earthquake broke out and the entire ground was like a convulsive trampoline under their feet. Almost instantly, those soldiers felt themselves being thrown high into the air. Then he fell heavily to the ground. Not only that, because the earthquake caused the ground to become soft, the constant shaking made it difficult for these soldiers to stand firm, let alone fight.
Then, the Leman Russ tank opened fire.
High-explosive shells flew into the crowd one after another. Due to the tremor and impact of the earth, the bodies of these soldiers swayed left and right, and they could not even stabilize their bodies. Not to mention raising a shield to resist attacks - of course, a shield is useless.
Soon, the sparks of the explosion bloomed in the Fourth Legion, completely blasting those soldiers who had no time to stand firm into bloody and bloody limbs.
In just one face-to-face encounter, the Fourth Army suffered heavy losses. Although they numbered 50,000, they had absolutely no choice in the face of the battle in front of them.
But for the soldiers of the Fourth Legion, this was just the beginning. With the roar of Leman Russ's artillery fire, the Valkyrie gunships hovering in the air also quickly dived downwards, starting to bring endless consequences to the ground like the eagle of death. Endless disaster and destruction. Hell strike missiles burst out one after another, multiple rockets sprayed fire, and laser beams fell from the sky, sweeping across the battlefield, turning everything in their path into scorched earth.
At this time, the Fourth Army had completely begun to become chaotic. They had never faced such an enemy or experienced such a battle. Every roar of artillery was deafening, making it impossible for them to hear other people's voices. As soon as he spoke, the soldiers around him would be blown up into the sky in the blink of an eye, and then turned into broken corpses. But Hermann is a country of bravery after all. Even in this situation, the Fourth Army still did not collapse. Instead, it desperately tried to avoid the enemy's firepower, reorganize the team, and survive as much as possible from the destructive artillery fire.
"General! We can no longer resist!"
When the messenger appeared in front of Nero again, he was also covered in blood.
"We cannot resist the opponent's attack at all! Please order a retreat!"
"Retreat?"
Hearing this, Nero jumped up immediately.
"Are you kidding? As soldiers of Hermann's glory, this is the time for you to serve the country with your death! Pass my order, assault! Attack! Attack again! As glorious soldiers of the kingdom, even if you die, you will die. On the way to the assault! No retreat allowed! ”
“What…………??”
Upon hearing this, the messenger turned pale, and after Nero gave the order, he left the city wall without looking back. Seeing him leaving, Adjutant Krim sighed and looked at the messenger.
"Pass my order, all troops will retreat immediately and surrender is allowed. Now try to preserve your strength as much as possible!"
"But..."
"I'll go talk to the general."
"Okay."
The messenger saluted Krim, then turned around and left. Krim silently shook his head, then turned around and left.
When Kerim walked down the city wall, she saw Nero walking towards her in a hurry. When he saw Kerim, Nero also hurriedly spoke.
"Ah, you came just in time, Krim. I want you to lead troops to guard the south gate immediately, and you will never allow those monsters to approach. Do you understand?"
"Lord Nero? May I ask what this is..."
Looking at Nero's hurried appearance, Krim frowned, and the latter snorted coldly.
"You don't have to worry about what I do. Anyway, go guard the south gate immediately!"
"…………Yes."
Hearing this, Krim could only bow silently, and then turned around and left with his men.
When Krim arrived at the south gate, the battle situation in front of him had become a complete mess. After receiving the order, the remnants of the Fourth Army almost immediately chose to retreat. Krim did not hesitate and directly chose to open the gate and let all the fleeing Fourth Army soldiers into the city.
"Adjutant Krim, what should we do next?"
While dealing with the remaining soldiers entering the city, the messenger looked at Krim uneasily, while the latter looked at the steel giant walking in the distance and sighed lightly.
"We surrender."
"Surrender? But General Nero..."
"Lord Nero, I'm afraid he's no longer here."
Krim shook his head.
"We can't really do what he said and fight to the death here. So what should the people of this city do?"
"………………"
"We can't win."
Krim raised his head again, his eyes becoming much firmer.
"So, I order you to surrender in Kaicheng."
