Renne and Tust visited the Royal Academy of Omar today. They originally wanted to cause trouble for the dean, Brendan de Molay, and they were already prepared for a war.
So long before they entered the academy, in an industry in Ymir, the 19th city district closest to the academy's mechanical city, the eight hundred mecha warriors of Black Dragon City were already ready to go.
They put on their mechas, prepared their ammunition and artillery, and were waiting for the order to take action.
At this moment, the black dragon fireworks flares lit up in the sky, and they received the news immediately.
"The Lord of the City has sent the signal to attack the city!"
"Yes, General!"
With an order, the eight hundred mechas surged out toward the streets in accordance with the battle plan, like tigers emerging from their cages.
These eight hundred mechas uniformly sprayed the logo of Black Dragon City, majestic.
Although they are all dark-style armor with golden antlers, their shapes are not exactly the same.
Rushing forward were the shield mechas holding heavy shields. Whether it was armor or boilers, they were obviously much thicker than others. The artillery troops behind them, like tanks, had complex and precise shooting systems. Although it is not loaded with more weapons, there are artillery pieces of various calibers on the arms and shoulders, which are real large-scale killing weapons; there are also machine gunners equipped with "Sixteen-round Vulcan Cannon"; light-armored ghosts Assassin soldiers; and then there are various functional mecha engineer soldiers, flamethrowers, demolition soldiers, armor-piercing soldiers...
This is a standard mechanical army!
The equipment and technology on each mecha are all top-notch in the world.
Their mechas only have two hands and two feet. They don't have eight mechanical arms like old Mr. Tust, which can override various complex weapon systems.
But fortunately, there are many people and a complete professional mix. The legion formed by eight hundred soldiers is equipped with almost all the functions needed for war.
This was an absolutely terrifying army in terms of combat power; in terms of technology, it was an unparalleled top mechanical army at the time!
... ... .
"Keng Cha", "Kang Cha", "Kang Cha"...
The sound of the mechanical armor running made a lot of noise. The mechanical bones were rubbing against each other, the gears were rubbing against each other, and the sound of the steam boiler gushing out was mixed into one large sound, pouring into the city streets like a mountain torrent.
Eight hundred mechas were dispatched together, like a torrent of steel, violently rushing into the sight of the people in the imperial capital.
Each mecha of several tons or dozens of tons stomped on the ground and flew away, causing the entire neighborhood to tremble violently like an earthquake.
This scene shocked everyone in the 19th Street Block.
"Oh my god, someone actually dares to mobilize mechanical troops in the city. Is this a rebellion?"
"No, this is not our Royal Mechanic from Omar."
"Look at that logo, it's the Mechanic Corps of Black Dragon City!"
"..."
The residents looked at the Black Dragon logo on the mecha army and immediately understood that it was the mechanic of Black Dragon City.
However, this also surprised them even more.
The law clearly stipulates that no one in the imperial capital has the right to mobilize troops in the city except the city guard.
Once it appears, it means... a rebellion war
"Is there going to be a war?"
"There seemed to be gunshots coming from the Royal Academy of Sciences just now. Could it be that something happened there?"
"Could it be a coup?"
"..."
Horror appeared on everyone's faces.
While everyone was still guessing, the Black Dragon Mechanical Legion opened fire!
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"..."
Intensive artillery fire sounded in the city, and everyone realized that this was not just a mobilization, but a real war.
The city guards who were originally arranged by the queen's line to monitor this guard had just organized a defense line on the streets to stop the Black Dragon Legion. But in an instant, he was swept away by the torrent of steel.
Regardless of firepower or equipment, the troops on both sides are not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison at all.
The number of people is completely meaningless.
The eight hundred mecha legions in Black Dragon City were like sharp knives ramming through the belly of a giant beast, flowing unimpeded and flowing like rivers of blood wherever they passed.
Smoke and artillery fire opened a smooth avenue straight to the Royal Academy.
The warriors of Black Dragon City cooperated tacitly, and there was no single enemy. Even fourth- and fifth-level transcendent beings will be beaten to mincemeat by sharp cannon fire in front of them, and chopped into pieces by black knives...
This well-trained elite black dragon army allowed people in Oma, the "Holy Land of Mechanics", to experience for the first time the fear of being crushed by mechanical technology.
Only then did everyone realize that the steam technology that Omar was so proud of was now being stepped on!
"Oh my god, is that really a battle armor? Are those Black Dragon City mechanics so strong?"
"This is more powerful than the armor of our 'First Royal Mechanic'"
"More than just powerful? It's not on the same level at all! The individual combat power of this black dragon mecha is no worse than any fourth-level or fifth-level extraordinary. If the legion is in action, even the 'Top Ten Legends' will be wiped out in a head-on manner."
"Look at the shields in the hands of those mechas. They don't move at all when the artillery hits them?"
"That's 'Angela Black Iron'! Damn it... Someone in the world would have the luxury to use that top-grade alchemy material to forge a shield, and give him a piece of it? Damn it, could it be that this Black Dragon City discovered a huge shield?" Divine blood veins?"
"The leader of the Black Dragon Legion seems to be [Storm General] General Baron? He was forced to become a rebel by the nobles, but now he has a good show to watch..."
"..."
The sound of fierce gunfire instantly spread throughout the 19th block.
No, through various channels, it spread throughout the entire imperial capital of Usenbar like lightning!
... ... .
The news also reached the Omar Palace immediately.
Ymir listened to his subordinate's report without any surprise on his face.
She looked at Emperor Doppler Spuglin who was in a coma, sighed slightly, and murmured: "Brother, Omar is really rotten to the core. It ends like this, for this era and for the empire. For the people, it’s not a bad thing..."
With that said, Ymir stood up and left. He took the sword handed over by the maid without any haste and put it on his waist.
She walked out of the room and looked at the black dragon fireworks in the sky that had not yet dissipated, with a flash of coldness in her blue crystal eyes.
Then, he jumped down towards the outside of the city wall.
... ... .
The second prince's bedroom.
"Where did the gunfire come from? Could it be that my two younger brothers took action in advance?"
"Your Highness, this is Omar Royal Academy! I just got the news. It seems that there was a conflict between Black Dragon City and Dean Brendan, and the two sides started fighting. Now the city has been blocked and the situation is unknown... But there is intelligence from the 19th Street Block , saying that a very powerful mechanical army has appeared and is rushing towards the Royal Academy... "
"What's going on with the queen?"
"The Third Army of the City Guard has been mobilized and is now stationed at the Royal Academy."
"Where are my two brothers?"
"Nothing happened to the Fourth Highness and the Eighth Highness..."
"Monitor closely and report news at any time!"
"yes!"
... ... .
Almost at the same time, all the old nobles in the city got the news.
But except for a few people, most people don't know the grudge between Tust and Brendan.
When they heard that there was a war in the imperial city, everyone was extremely nervous, thinking that a certain prince had launched a military coup. It even triggered a chain reaction, causing many forces hidden in the darkness of the imperial capital to emerge. For a time, the entire imperial capital was undercurrent, and there were faint signs of chaos...
But it didn't take long for the definite news to come.
When they heard that it was only people from Black Dragon City who took action, everyone was shocked and found it unbelievable.
Everyone knows that Ymir brought a mere 800 mechanical knights and 200 flying dragon guards.
With just this few people, it is impossible to create any waves in the imperial capital.
They were also surprised. Are those guys in Black Dragon City crazy? They dare to cause trouble in the imperial capital
Everyone thought that the matter would be suppressed soon, but they never imagined that the fighting was getting more and more intense...
... ... .
The high tower of Oma Academy.
Fourth Prince Mueller just wanted to go down and help, but he hesitated again when he saw the black dragon in the sky that was obviously a lucky shot.
People of his status must think carefully about everything they do, and the most important thing is not to treat others as "fools."
But unfortunately, the guys in Black Dragon City in front of them made a choice that everyone thought was "extremely stupid".
Starting a war in the imperial capital
Just the thousand guards brought by Ymir can be easily wiped out by a small detachment from the city guard.
What on earth were those guys thinking
Muller looked at the increasingly fierce artillery fire in the distance, and his frown never relaxed.
At this time, information came like snow flakes.
"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, we have just received urgent information that a mechanical legion from Black Dragon City has appeared in the 19th block, and they are rushing towards the academy. The intelligence said that the mechanical legion is very powerful, and its individual combat power has at least reached Extraordinary fourth level, even stronger!”
"how many people?"
"Eight hundred."
"..."
After hearing this information, Mueller was not surprised, but fell into deep thought.
When he saw Tust's eight-armed armor before, he guessed that Black Dragon City might already have a batch of top-notch mechas.
Although he didn't want to see an opponent that was too strong, that was the end of it. The most critical thing right now is to seize the throne. If Black Dragon City can severely damage the Queen's lineage, he would also like to see it.
But, it doesn't seem realistic.
This seems to be a conflict of "evil against stone".
The number of eight hundred was what confused him.
"That's not right. Is this what my aunt relies on? Even with eight hundred high-level mechas, they can't possibly break through the college's walls. Where do they get the confidence to start a war?"
Oma College had the strongest steel city wall at the time, and the artillery on the city wall was beyond the capabilities of individual artillery.
Regardless of power or range, the artillery on the city wall is ten times or a hundred times that of individual artillery!
After all, the range and power of artillery are directly related to the caliber and barrel length.
The individual artillery carried by the mecha is no more than three or two meters long, while there are giant artillery on the city walls that are tens or hundreds of meters long. No matter how high the level of artillery technology is, at least in this age of gunpowder machinery, there is one truth that cannot be avoided.
More is beauty, bigger is better, caliber is justice!
Your range is only one hundred meters, and the opponent's range is one thousand meters.
You can't destroy the city wall armor with one shot, but the opponent can easily wipe you out with one shot.
This kind of gap doesn't give you any chance at all, and the team will be wiped out in minutes.
If you rely on individual combat mechas to attack a city, the only outcome is the group's destruction.
Not to mention eight hundred, even if it is eight thousand or eighty thousand mechanics, it will be like this.
In Mueller's opinion, even the "legendary" eight-arm armor had absolutely no chance of surviving under that kind of artillery salvo.
In this era of siege warfare, either a breakthrough is made from within, or there is only a head-to-head fight between the Mechanical City and the Mechanical City.
It was almost impossible to siege the city by manpower.
... ...
"Do they still have more flying dragon legions hidden?"
At this time, Mueller suddenly looked at the sky and guessed that Renne and the others might have brought more than two hundred flying dragons.
But then, he shook his head.
With the start of the war, the entire Imperial Capital of Oma has entered a state of war readiness. Various anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft guns have long been aimed at the sky. Once the Dragon Knight is discovered, the firepower network will never let them get close.
This method also doesn't work.
But when the idea first came up, something strange happened suddenly.
Just as he was about to look back, he saw black dots the size of sesame seeds appearing in the sky.
"You're really here?"
Mueller was shocked and looked astonished. But then I discovered that the black spots were not flying dragons at all, but strange-shaped... bombs
At this moment, he finally understood what Black Dragon City was going to do!
Drop bombs from the air!
Mueller was horrified.
At this moment, he finally understood what Black Dragon City's " trump card " was.
The reason why he had not thought of this before was because there had never been any precedent for "air raid tactics" in this era.
Today, people's understanding of gunpowder technology is only limited to activating muskets and artillery. There is no concept of air-dropped bombs at all.
Moreover, ordinary gunpowder will not cause much damage to the city's thick steel walls. If you really want to use explosives to break through the city wall, you will probably have to prepare a quantity of explosives on the order of thousands of tons or 10,000 tons.
Even if there were flying dragons, it would be impossible for such a huge amount of medicine to be sent to the sky!
"Damn, I should have thought of it earlier. They have such powerful mecha technology, and their gunpowder technology must not be bad either!"
Mueller cursed secretly in his heart, vaguely guessing that something bad would happen.
But at the same time, he also found that the location he was staying in was too close to the city wall!
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he was so frightened that he jumped out of the tower without hesitation and ran towards the shelter. He even yelled at his confused subordinates: "Idiot, why are you still standing there? , find cover!”
... ... ..
Renn looked at the "black raindrops" in the sky, his eyes were full of energy, and he murmured to himself: "This is the first air raid of this era."
Only as a time traveler, he knows how important "air control" is.
In previous lives, there were almost no ground troops involved in the early stages of various large and small wars. Top powers could completely destroy a country's various military facilities simply by relying on air strikes.
It can be said that whoever has "air control" will have the initiative in the war.
And now, Black Dragon City has also brought the first real air raid to this era.
Even though these people were prepared for the Flying Dragon Legion, who could have guessed that Renn had no intention of letting the Flying Dragon Legion physically attack the city.
Dropping bombs from high altitude is the best way to deal with the Mechanical City. Moreover, it is an siege method that cannot be defended even if the opponent knows about it.
Without the ability to destroy the flying dragon army in the air, the enemy can only stare.
It is true that Renn brought more than two hundred flying dragons this time, but the reality is that it is not much.
Of the two hundred who entered the city, there were another five hundred on standby outside the city.
Although the number was small, the storage rings of the five hundred flying dragon riders all carried an astonishing number of [Goblin Armor-Piercing Bombs].
The precise bomb-dropping skills that were secretly trained in the past, combined with the super perception of extraordinary people and the goblin high-power observation mirror, gave this unit the accuracy of "laser-guided bombs".
Five hundred flying dragon riders are equivalent to five hundred bombers. They were lingering in the very high sky, and a rain of bullets dropped, symbolizing the coming of death...
... ... .
However, a few breaths later, the rain of bombs in the sky had already landed on the east gate of Omar Royal Academy.
This is the city wall connecting the 13th block, and it is also a wall heavily guarded by city guards. There are thousands of giant artillery here, which would have blown all invading enemies to pieces...
Without the mechanical city to attack the city, even hundreds of thousands of troops would be destroyed by these giant cannons.
But no one ever thought that the eight hundred mechanics army of Black Dragon City dared to come here; but before they saw it, bombs fell in the sky as densely as raindrops...
Those giant artillery were completely useless and fell into a sea of fire.
boom!
boom!
boom!
There was a violent explosion, as if the earth was shattering.
The armor-piercing projectile penetrated the steel plate and exploded, destroying the steel plates fixed with rivets on the city wall. The east gate of Oma College instantly burst into flames...
... ... ..
On this day, Black Dragon City used their unique air supremacy at the time to teach this era a lesson.
The concept of "air raid" was first known to the world.
