Standing next to that huge and majestic war machine, Hom couldn't help but look up at its iron-gray armor and the pipes and mechanical structures covered in the shield in awe. Beside him, the former commander of Rock Fortress, The Maryland Cavaliers, who are now Cecil officers, exclaimed softly: "It's a beautiful machine, isn't it?"
Home turned his head slightly, and glanced at the knight who had put on his armor again and was loyal to the Principality.
After a year of labor reform and ideological reshaping, and more than half a year of knowledge education, and after passing the strict assessment and oath procedures, this former royal nobleman got the opportunity to pledge allegiance to the lord of the southern border.
He was once incorporated into the engineering troops of the Second Army, and participated in the construction and production of many areas in the north. He witnessed and experienced the operation rules of the Cecil Order. This Mr. Knight showed a sincere and serious attitude in the process. and excellent personal ability, so he was removed, promoted, and finally incorporated into the First Battle Corps, and became the commander of the "Iron Throne".
In Cecil, there are not many "reformers" like him. After all, talents are scarce in this era, and some intellectuals in the early stage of production and construction must be selected from the old aristocrats. This may leave some hidden dangers in the future, but in the end Better than dying in the mire early in development.
And the Maryland Cavaliers, who are reliable in character, should be regarded as one of the most trustworthy and expected people among such "reformers".
Home, who was born as a serf but has become one of Cecil's officials, laughed: "This is indeed a beautiful machine, and every part is beautiful."
He was a bit of a pun, but he was really admiring the war machine on the track beside him-this huge armored train was the most powerful mechanical device he had ever seen in his life, it was not only a means of transportation, but also a weapon and the Fortress, the brilliant creation of Rebecca the Marchesa and Master Craftsman Nicholas, and the awe-inspiring blood and sweat of Cecil's industrious and intelligent workers.
It has two "arsenal sections" at the head and tail. A total of four large rail guns and four super-heavy burners, the largest currently, are installed on the chassis of the car body. The armored gun turret that accommodates combatants can launch lightning, fireballs, and scorching rays to straf the enemy to defend the train gun according to different battle situations;
The middle section of the train is a large compartment called the "tactical section". In addition to accommodating the train headquarters, it is also equipped with a high-power magic obelisk and communication devices, as well as sufficient weapons for self-defense;
The remaining carriages of the train are the "carrying sections". Those huge carriages can accommodate hundreds of soldiers, and the carriages can also be replaced with open chassis to transport various types of combat vehicles. Currently, Cecil has manufactured Almost all kinds of magical vehicles can be placed on the wide and powerful carrying chassis;
Now, this terrifying war machine has a total of twelve "Warhammer-i" tanks fixed on four carrier chassis. Those tanks are not only the "passengers" of this train, they are also terrifying armed forces themselves—when When they are fixed on the chassis, they are equivalent to becoming small train guns. Their turrets are even more flexible than the main guns of the "Iron Throne". Cannons can faithfully annihilate all those who dare to approach the "Iron Throne".
Armed and dominating the land, it is so powerful that it was only when he saw it in person that Home finally realized why a train would be called the "Iron Throne"—with its iron gray paintwork and tough lines The upright mechanical structure makes it worthy of the title of "throne", and even has a sense of beauty that fascinates him. At this moment, he is even a little jealous of the Maryland Cavaliers.
"This is just the first 'Iron Throne'," Maryland Cavaliers said with pride on his face. "According to the plan, there will be follow-up Iron Throne-type armored trains put on the tracks to protect the land covered by the railway. Therefore, every A row of Iron Thrones actually has subdivided names—the row in front of you, the full name should be 'Iron Throne-Number Zero'."
"Is it the original Iron Throne..." Home nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "We have been laying the railway extending north these days. The situation in the east is currently deteriorating, but correspondingly, due to the blockade by the lords Our own territories and castles, and a large number of wilderness areas have become completely unregulated areas, and almost no one hinders our activities—even if a few local lords intervene, they will not be able to make a difference in a mess of loose sand."
Maryland asked: "Where are the cluster infected people currently located?"
"They are still active in the area west of Thorinburg, and only a few wandering wanderers have entered the east, and they have not pose a threat yet."
Maryland nodded slightly.
Obviously, the main goal of the Doom Society is the capital of Ansu. They sent almost all the crystal cluster army to the front line in the northwest direction, and they paid little attention to the food that was already on the table in the east. Few—it’s not difficult to understand. On one side of the eastern border is the Typhon Empire, and on the other side is the eastern region of the Holy Spirit Plain, which has been completely occupied. Most of the main military forces and capable nobles in its territory have been lost to the heavy pollution of the Holy Spirit Plain. Among them, for the Death of All Things Society that has already grasped the advantage, this land has already been swallowed by them, and now the rest is only slowly digested.
But the Maryland Cavaliers know that this situation will not last long-the end of all things will not adjust their energy for the time being, have not "digested" the huge army they suddenly mastered, and have not completely stood firm, but when they are completely wiped out The remaining resistance forces of the Kingdom Army on the Holy Spirit Plain, when they approach the city of San Sunil, they will start to "absorb" power from the east, and continuously transform the population of this land into their army of crystal clusters. Come and sweep the rest of Anzu's territory.
And his mission is to suddenly block the gateway to the East Territory from the unexpected angle of the death of all things before all this happens, and cooperate with Gawain Cecil's "blockade" operation on the Gorgon River.
In the past few months, White Sands Mining has built a large number of railways in the intersecting area between Baisha and Gelen in the name of "building more roads to facilitate the transportation of ore". The company's money offensive against country knights, tax collectors, and civil servants has made these railways almost under the nose of Silas Lauren. It can be blatant.
…
On the east bank of the Gorgon River, in the north of the Fertile Woodlands, the iron-forged legion began to advance.
In the middle of the river, the three magic warships headed by the "Pioneer" opened their magic wings, and the radiance of the runes shone above the waves of the Gorgon River, and the huge energy was gathered, compressed, and poured into it. , the heavy "Truth-i" magic crystal railgun finely adjusted its angle with the assistance of the mechanical device. With the deafening sound of the shell piercing the air, the obelisk-like magic crystal shell rushed out of the orbit, Straight to the sky—
Amidst the sharp sound, the cannonballs falling from the sky fell to the earth, like fire falling from the sky, the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed. Countless crystal cluster giants who were walking blankly on the wasteland and the wilderness were wiped out before they had time to react. This blow surpassed them. The limit of vision, even surpassed the perception limit of the strongest among them. In the continuous sky fire falling, the mutated limbs and crystal clusters were wiped out, and the huge crystal cluster army fell apart, and then they fought on their own in the chaos, searching for unknown hiding places Where is the enemy.
On the high ground by the river bank, Iron Ranger warriors in black armor climbed onto the chariot observation platform, opened the tactical eyepiece, and watched the crystal cluster monsters coming from the plain, and at the same time sent back signals to the warships in the river, Directing round after round of naval bombardment.
After several rounds of naval artillery bombardment, the chariot began to push forward, relying on tank guns and long-range howitzers at the rear to open the way. The wheels and tracks crushed the ground that had begun to heat up, advancing step by step towards the area polluted by the cluster giants.
In this destructive torrent, the "Steel Ambassadors" propped up their reinforced shields, protruding and driving forward. In each Steel Ambassador chariot, there were the most alert soldiers paying attention to the reflections reflected in the observation windows. The image—on the observation window, with the spell effect of "Detect Distortion".
In the field of observation that was reddened by the effect of the spell, the entire land was shrouded in surging magic power, and those crystal cluster giants swaying in the smoke and dust, the arcane light on their bodies was like a ghost in the dark night. Candlelight is generally eye-catching.
The candles on some of these individuals are particularly eye-catching.
The scout immediately transferred the target to the gunner of the howitzer, and at the same time sent a signal back to the troops in the rear: "I have observed the command individual and started to guide the shooting."
The steel ambassadors serving as observation vehicles stopped for a short time, and after stabilizing their bodies, they activated their respective vehicle-mounted howitzers—this small powerful "main cannon" is not very lethal, and sometimes it is even used as a shield by the extraordinarily powerful crystal cluster giants. They intercepted them, but as the long-range grenades they fired roared through the air and fell to the ground in the distance, the hundreds of "Warhammer-i" main battle tanks behind them would immediately focus their artillery fire on the direction marked by the grenade—this An attack of this level cannot be intercepted by one or two powerful spell-casting units.
After a short but devastating shelling, a considerable part of the enemy is bound to be thrown into chaos.
The tidal cluster giants charged towards the enemies that entered their field of vision. Their commanders died before the charge began, and the charging giants... gradually degenerated into wild beasts out of control in the process.
It takes about an hour for them to completely weaken, but most of them don't live beyond that.
Because they will attack the death line intertwined by gunfire and burners in an unorganized and disorderly manner, and will not dodge or avoid until they are reduced to ashes.
Due to the instinctive aggressiveness of the cluster giants after losing control, the legion doesn't even need to deliberately look for enemies hiding in blind spots or in the distance. As long as the artillery fire is still roaring, almost all the monsters in a radius of a hundred miles will take the initiative to join the burning purification In flames.
On the high ground behind, Gawain stood under the awning, quietly watching the scene on the plain in the distance, the battlefield full of gunfire and the flashes of light from the direction of the Gorgon River (occasionally there will be rainbows of astonishing scale and momentum. Beams of light sweeping across the river bank) came into his eyes, near him, the mobile magic network relay vehicle was broadcasting the intensive communication from the Pioneer and the ground troops, and several magic network terminals projected different images, Communication soldiers and commanders were busy between the equipment and the tactical map, and the voices of commands and reports continued to come from all directions.
In a trance, he actually had a sense of time and space disorder.
On the other side, the young knight Philip was standing in front of the map table not far away, watching the changes on the battlefield with a group of officers, and Byron's holographic projection appeared beside Philip - through the magic network terminal, far away on the Pioneer The current Byron also seemed to be at the scene of the army headquarters.
The land and water propulsion plan was proposed by Gao Wen. In this plan, he asked the inland fleet to support the ground troops with heavy artillery. After initially tearing apart the array of crystal cluster giants, the land tank troops would then advance forward, relying on long-range howitzers and other means. After clearing the field for the second time, before the crystal cluster giant reacted, the land troops quickly occupied a favorable position, and relied on heavy burners, fire-breathing infantry, and white knight brigade to completely cleanse the entire battlefield.
Philip Knight has formulated a more detailed land force combat plan on this basis - relying on the steel ambassador as a scout vehicle, with the advantages of mobility and range, coupled with a reliable shield device, these chariots will quickly lock the crystal cluster in front command nodes in the Legion, and remotely directed shelling to destroy those nodes.
After this, the loyal Cecil Legion will rely on the equally loyal incendiary weapons to eliminate those enemies who lose control.
These programs are surprisingly effective.
