Chapter 496 The God-Killing Ambition
The God-Killing Armor is so huge that even the already tall and burly Steam Knight is like a toy in front of it.
In the center of the banquet hall is a huge high-ceiling space, which was obtained by directly opening up the three-story banquet hall. The actual height is fifteen meters, and the decoration on the top of the God-killing Armor is almost To hit the ceiling.
In order to get this huge metal creation in and make it stand up, the hotel even removed the huge crystal chandelier in the center of the banquet hall.
There is no doubt that this is much more exciting than the steam knight.
This huge steel giant is equipped with thick armor that is extremely difficult for ordinary steam knights to afford. Its shape has completely separated from the design of the steam knight that is still similar to the traditional knight armor, and instead adopts a highly inclined armor. The armor is tilted to give it a completely different look from the Steam Knight.
But at the same time, this large-angle armor design also makes this metal creation look even larger and burlier, giving people a great sense of oppression.
Originally, Purficott did not want to continue to use the humanoid design. After all, equipment like the Steam Knight, which is similar to power armor, is forgettable. After all, the humanoid is more suitable for the user's wearing habits.
But the size of the God-killing Armor is no less than that of a Gundam or Titan, so it seems a bit redundant to still use a humanoid design.
If nothing else, the stability, balance and flexibility of the humanoid body are inferior to other forms of design.
To give the simplest example, is the stability better with two legs or four legs?
So at first, Purficott wanted to develop a heavy-loaded firepower platform that walked on four legs and was equipped with more modern weapons such as artillery and heavy machine guns.
For this reason, she also specially designed a 120mm smoothbore cannon, trying to use it as the main weapon of the God-killing Armor.
However, Weier rejected her design and asked her a question instead: "Can your artillery hit a knight or knight wearing a steam knight armor?"
< br>This question is really difficult for Purficott to answer.
Can artillery hit a Grand Knight or a Knight of Honor wearing Steam Knight Armor? The answer is of course yes, but only in theory.
Because for a big knight, as long as they are not hit in the face by a close-range shot, their reaction ability combined with the performance of the Steam Knight armor can completely avoid the falling of the cannonball after seeing the cannon fired. Click to avoid being hit or hit directly.
Without being directly hit by a cannonball, with the performance of the Steam Knight armor, it is difficult to make a Steam Knight lose its combat effectiveness.
It is true that the impact and shock waves generated by the explosion of the cannonball are enough to kill any ordinary person exposed within its effective killing range, but the Steam Knight himself is a transcendent and has sufficient immunity and resistance to this level of damage.
So if you want to destroy or kill a Steam Knight, unless you can cover it with saturation firepower, you can only rely on another Steam Knight to go up and engage in close combat.
Of course, long-range attacks are not completely ineffective, but because the design of this thing is too ahead of this era, and the weapon technology has not kept up, the current firearms and artillery are seriously insufficient in the lethality of steam knights, making most long-range attacks very difficult. Hard to hit, or just scraping.
After all, you can't expect lead bullets fired from a flintlock gun to penetrate a centimeter-thick composite bulletproof armor. That's something that even steel-core armor-piercing bullets made with modern technology in the original world can do.
Not to mention the speed and reflexes of the knights, who are fully capable of avoiding the trajectory of the bullet before firing.
And the cannonballs? In this era without fire control computers and radars, if you expect to hit a humanoid target with a cannonball that can move at a speed of 80km/h, the gunner will either be fooled by the goddess of luck, or he is a gunner whose skills have reached a legendary level. Extraordinary one.
Of course there is no need to say much about the former, but the latter... Although there are extraordinary people in this world who specialize in long-range attacks, there are none at the legendary level or as a gunner.
Under such circumstances, long-range weapons would naturally be considered by Wei'er as not having much significance in a battle between extraordinary beings.
Just as it was never the muskets themselves that eliminated knights, but the army that could be trained in batches and cheaply and the changes in the socio-economic structure, melee combat is still an extremely effective means of combat in this era.
Especially when Purficott's expected enemy is a being of the level of a god, it is difficult to say that weapons without special damage such as artillery can hurt a god.
This is also an important reason why Purficott and Weier often had disagreements during the development of the God-killing Armor.
Weier understands the gods relatively better, so her thinking is mainly about traditional magic confrontation and close combat, while Purficott's thinking is more inclined to the technological route of the original world, like machine guns and cannons.
In Purficott's view, if one shot fails to hit or kills, then use fire coverage and a large yield. If that doesn't work, there is always Uncle Einstein's flip-flops. There is always one suitable for teaching those gods what human beings are. The power of civilization.
But there is a big problem with this, and that is cost-effectiveness.
Fire coverage can indeed kill knights wearing steam knight armor with artillery. Even legendary knights may not be immune to the firepower of heavy artillery clusters, but the cost-effectiveness ratio of doing so is too low.
The best way to deal with high-end combat power is to use high-end combat power of the same level to deal with it.
And this is exactly Purficott's original intention to develop the God-killing Armor.
So in the end, when the God-killing Armor was presented to everyone, although it did follow Purficott's design ideas more, its combat mode and weapon configuration were more biased towards traditional magic confrontation and melee combat.
For this reason, it is easy to understand that the God-killing Armor is designed in human form.
For humans, all fighting skills are developed based on the human body structure. Only when the mecha is made into a human form can fighting skills be better utilized.
However, these are not important to the guests who saw the God-killing Armor, because to them, this metal behemoth with a height of more than ten meters is as shocking as the Titan. It gave people an invincible chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Even some of the guests who were standing nearby instinctively stepped back, fearing that they would be accidentally trampled to death by this huge metal giant.
Although they know this is impossible, this does not prevent them from feeling physically scared and intimidated. "For a metal creation of this size, what else in the world can stop it?" A guest sighed, and the image of this metal behemoth easily tearing apart a castle or contributing to a fortress appeared in his mind.
To this behemoth, all the fortifications built by humans in the past are like toys.
As for the army? There were many military veterans present, but no one thought that any army could resist or destroy the metal behemoth in front of them.
"Countess Brandlis, what are your intentions in developing and designing this...god-killing armor? If you want to rule the world..." Someone asked something that was beyond their imagination, But surprisingly no one stopped him.
After all, the God-killing Armor in front of them shocked everyone so much. Everyone was thinking about the same question, what did the Victoria Empire want, or what did Perficott want?
At this time, Purficott was even treated as a separate force, not just as a count of the Victoria Empire.
Because the God-killing Armor is enough to give Perfectcott the confidence and strength to conquer the entire world, this thing cannot be resisted by mortal force!
King Redil on the side looked at the God-killing Armor and thought of Perficott asking him for powerful magic props. He even had an absurd speculation in his mind, that is, these ancient magic props might It can also damage the God-killing armor. Purficott uses this method to disrupt the ability of various countries to fight against the God-killing armor.
But soon, King Redil rejected his idea because it really made no sense.
The powerful magic items in the bottom of the box in various countries do have the ability to damage the God-killing Armor, but the problem is that there are not too many such powerful items. It is already very remarkable that each country can have one or two of the most powerful items in the bottom of the box. There couldn't be more.
In this case, Purficott can completely use the ordinary steam knight combined with the God-killing armor to let the opponent choose one of the two.
Choose the God-killing Armor, and ordinary steam knights can bulldoze your country.
As for an ordinary steam knight, what would you use to resist a steel colossus more than ten meters high?
Do you really think you can summon the mythical Titans or Titans?
So what exactly does Purficott want to do? The Steam Knight Armor she created was enough to make Victoria and herself invincible, and conquering the world was not out of the question. The God-Slaying Armor was simply a dragon-slaying skill, and it was completely unimaginable what it would be like. The goal is to build such a huge weapon.
As for saying that this God-killing armor is fake and just an empty shell?
I’m afraid no one dares to bet on this possibility, because as far as Purficott is concerned, she is really capable of making the God-killing Armor!
Guests arriving in Xinshak these days have probably seen the large engineering robots currently involved in the construction of shelters and energy towers in the city.
Those robots are no smaller than the God-killing Armor, and their existence is obviously enough to prove that Perficott can build such large mechanical bodies and make them really move.
Therefore, no one would doubt the authenticity of the God-killing Armor in front of them. At most, they could only guess whether it would take three minutes or five minutes to demolish a castle.
However, Purficott did not give any explanation for everyone's questions. She just used the flying stone she had hidden on her body to fly to the shoulders of the God-killing Armor, and stood on it overlooking all the guests. , and then said in an ethereal voice: "I will provide all countries in need with energy towers, shelters and other related technical materials needed to survive this doomsday disaster, but this is not a free gift. I You need those powerful magic props or alchemical creations, or ancient information related to the mythical era.
As for the God-killing Armor, it is not developed for you. The purpose of developing it has been stated just now. Yes, this is prepared to kill the gods."
After saying that, Purficott jumped off the god-killing armor.
Jumping from a height of more than ten meters, the hem of Purfict's skirt inlaid with a large number of gems was suddenly raised high, like a shining star under the light. banner.
——————————————
After the God-killing Armor was unveiled, all the guests obviously had no intention of discussing any other topics. At this time, the focus of everyone at the banquet was this The platform is so huge that it exceeds everyone's imagination on the God-killing Armor.
People are speculating on how powerful this armor is, and many people have also made many guesses as to Purficott's purpose in developing it.
But these are not important to Purficott herself. She is currently discussing with Queen Victoria and a group of imperial ministers on how to deal with the evil sect.
After the God-killing Armor was unveiled, the Queen immediately called for a central meeting and convened a number of important ministers from the Victoria Empire Center to discuss the issue of the God-killing Armor.
"Is this why, Earl Brandlis, you suddenly left Langton before? To develop the God-killing Armor to deal with the possible divine descent from the Evil God Sect?" Because many of the previous measures taken by Purficott when he was in Langton There is no hiding, and although some important information has not been made public, it is still known to the important ministers at the center of the empire.
Faced with this question, Purficott nodded happily: "Yes, this is a god-killing sword I forged to fight against the gods! Its imaginary enemies are those who may be summoned The old gods!"
Speaking of this, Purficott looked around, glanced at everyone and said: "Of course, if you are really afraid of the God-killing Armor, then I can also use other methods. To fight against those old gods, it’s just a matter of...
Use heavy artillery clusters to cover the entire city, or use more powerful thermobaric bombs, you can choose whichever you like.”
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and they all clearly understood what Perfectcott meant.
If you want to fight against the gods of the past, you must either use powerful combat units with high combat capabilities such as the God-killing Armor, or you must sacrifice human lives at the cost of losing a city.
After all, whether it is heavy artillery cluster bombing or more powerful thermobaric bombs, the gods of the past cannot be bombed obediently. They can only use human lives to hold the opponent back, and then they can use heavy firepower.
In comparison, using the God-killing Armor seems to be a relatively cheapest solution.
"It's just a God-killing Armor, can it really fight against gods?" Someone asked this critical soul question.
