"An hour left."
Shrike sat in a chair, looking at the time on his pocket watch with a serious expression.
This is an abandoned platform outside the old Dunling, but after a few days of construction, it has become a temporary base.
According to the plan, Shrike will take the train to a small town called Ende. According to Lancelot's information, the mysterious sacred coffin is stored there. No matter what is there, he must capture it... At least until Lancelot arrives and retrieves the sacred coffin.
In order not to alert the enemy, the operation was divided into two operations. Shrike brought a large number of armed forces to wait here in advance, and the Glorious train would arrive in an hour.
Originally, Shrike was planning to go directly there, but now that Galahad has fallen, and without the Knight-General, their chances of winning are somewhat precarious. For this reason, the Perpetual Motion Pump mobilized a secret weapon and gave it to them, and the Glory train was transporting that thing.
"Are you ready?"
Looking beside me, the huge machine was silent in the darkness. The huge steel outlined a hideous appearance, and only the sharp light was sliding on it.
It was a heavy crane, and in the darkness behind it were reinforced heavy armored carriages. According to the plan, the Glory was carrying the weapons from the Berhans Military Factory and would finally stop here. The heavy crane would replace the carriages, and the passengers would continue their journey. The carriages carrying the weapons would be connected here and then go directly to the mysterious town of Ende.
He stood up slowly. Because time was tight and Shrike's injuries had not fully healed, he tried to walk two steps and felt pretty good, except that the noise was a bit loud.
At this moment, his lower body was covered with a transmission structure. The power rods were connected to the joints of the legs, and then the copper tubes extended to the small steam bag at the waist. Every once in a while, a light mist would be released from it.
This is a masterpiece from the Perpetual Motion Pump. They call it exoskeleton armor, but due to technical problems it cannot be used in actual combat. It is like a useless vase. However, this thing can easily help a person with difficulty walking to run.
Looking down at the shining metal, the precision gears are turning underneath and meshing with each other. The structure is so exquisite that it is beyond imagination.
To be honest, Shrike's knowledge of mechanics was just so-so, but even so he could still see the precision of this mechanical device. However, let alone figuring out the principle, he didn't even know where the power of this machine came from. If it weren't for the pipes on both sides of the thighs spewing out steam from time to time, Shrike really thought that the thing had achieved the so-called perpetual motion.
So sometimes I really want to cut open the brains of those crazy people and see what they are actually made of.
"What is the current situation?"
Looking at the blue jadeite who walked in from the other side, Shrike asked.
"We are fully equipped and our soldiers are ready. After joining forces with the Red Falcon, our firepower may even be able to win a local war."
Blue Jade was wearing a black tights and a dome-shaped iron helmet with an electric lamp on it. But because they were indoors, the lights were off. She was wearing a warm cloak on the outside. The cloak looked light, but in fact, the clothes were lined with high-strength lightweight metal mesh, which would serve as a layer of protection when encountering severe impact.
