Chapter 450: Iron Torrent!

The sky gradually brightened.

Duanmu Huai stood in front of the railing, staring at the distant horizon with a stern face. Beside him, An, Gu Leiya, Ogis and others stood there, looking at the scene in front of them with extremely shocked eyes.

"It's really exaggerated......"

Even Shizuka was surprised at this moment.

"Are you really going to use this???"

"Of course, this is a provocation to the Tribunal. In this case, I don't mind letting Hermann and AL see the real power of my Tribunal!"

Duanmu Huai said this and looked at Maria who was standing aside.

"Start it."

"Understood!"

Maria couldn't wait any longer. Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, she hurriedly nodded vigorously and came to the terminal next to her.

"Everyone is ready, supervise the fuel replenishment and ammunition loading---ring the bell once, push the lever, start the piston and pump!"

As she spoke, Maria picked up the book next to her.

"The soul of the God of All Machines is around you..."

"Ding............!!"

The bronze bell swung slowly, making a dull sound. At the same time, the originally silent space began to tremble, making a low and powerful sound.

"Ring the bell twice, press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, and inject life!"

"Ding............!!"

The heavy bell sounded again, and the dazzling light was like the light of life, covering everything.

"Ring the bell three times, sing in unison, and praise the God of All Machines!"

"Ding---!!!!"

With the third bell ringing, everything... is about to change.

Hermann's southern border defense line.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the deployment of the legions below, the fourth army general Nero Capet VII felt his blood surging.

"Look, Krim!"

Nero, wearing a gorgeous silver-white armor, held a rose in his hand, turned around like the protagonist in an opera performance, and pointed forward.

"This is our Herman's army, my great, magnificent Fourth Legion! In front of it, no one can stop our attack!"

"………………Are we really going to launch an attack, General?"

Standing next to Nero was the adjutant Krim, who was wearing Herman's black armor, glasses, and had golden hair. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she obviously disagreed with this.

"Of course! Lisas and Seth are not our opponents at all. Lisas was invaded by Herman before, and Seth was just invaded by the demons. They are too busy to take care of themselves. They have no ability to fight against our Herman Fourth Army! And my men——!"

Speaking of this, Nero waved his hand fiercely.

"There are 50,000 soldiers here! No enemy is our opponent!"

"But if we enter the opponent's territory, we may fall into a trap, and the order we received does not include invading Seth and Lisas..."

"Humph............"

Hearing his adjutant's words, Nero's face sank, and then he looked at his adjutant and asked.

"Krim, what unit did you serve in before?"

Faced with Nero's question, Krim hurriedly lowered his head and answered seriously.

"Yes, sir, I first served in the rear support unit of the Second Army, and was assigned to the Fourth Army half a year ago."

"Humph."

Hearing Krim's answer, Nero snorted.

"So it was a rear supply unit. It's understandable that you are so indifferent to war and don't know tactics. But in the Fourth Army, you have to obey my orders. Do you know who is the most ideal soldier in my mind?"

"This... I don't know."

"That's General Thomas who died gloriously in the Lisas offensive!"

Speaking of this, Nero closed his eyes and showed an intoxicated expression.

"What I respect most is the death of soldiers. Soldiers who risk their lives to fight, finally die gloriously for the country. What a beautiful scene! For our Fourth Army, this is our ideal. It doesn't matter if we die. As long as we can die gloriously in battle, it is the best! This is the ideal that can move people's hearts the most!"

"…………………………"

Looking at the man in front of her who was intoxicated with the speech of chivalry, Adjutant Krim was speechless. She knew that although on the surface, Nero Capet VII was indeed born into the Hermann family, and was an elite who graduated from the Military Academy as the chief, and was called the first of the young Hermanns - but in fact everyone knew that both the title of chief and the position of the general of the Fourth Army were actually bought by the Capet family with money.

Otherwise, how could a young soldier like him become the commander of the Fourth Army, one of the five major legions of Hermann, in one step?

Not to mention that this man has no ability at all. For a soldier, dying for the country is indeed an honor. But for this man, this is just a performance to satisfy his vanity. He doesn't understand war, military affairs, or anything at all, just like a child who knows nothing! Does he think that real war is as romantic as what is written in storybooks?

Has Hermann become so corrupt now?

Krim lowered his head and listened to Nero's boasting beside him, feeling anxious. Among the five major legions of Herman, the first legion guarded the royal city, the second legion guarded the demon defense line, the third legion was located in the royal capital as a special mobile force, the fourth legion was responsible for guarding the southern border to prevent invasion from other countries, and the fifth legion was deployed as a guerrilla force.

In terms of position, the duty of the fourth legion is to prevent invasion from other countries. And now, the position of the leader of the fourth legion was given to such a guy who only had family background and money, no ability at all, and could only boast. This naturally made Krim feel anxious. Because this means that the Herman high-level did not think that other countries would invade Herman at all...

Although she also became Nero's words made sense, after all, Seth was currently busy with reconstruction, and Lisas would not necessarily really attack Herman.

But that was based on the premise that they did not take the initiative to attack!

Once they really wanted to attack, it would be hard to say whether Seth and Lisas would unite and attack Herman!

With Herman's current political situation, is it really... okay?

"Huh..."

Nero, not knowing what his adjutant was thinking, let out a breath after finishing his speech, and then made a gesture.

"I've said so much, I'm thirsty, come on, bring tea."

"Yes, General."

Hearing Nero's order, the waiter next to him came over and brought him a cup of hot tea, and Nero also took the hot tea and put it to his mouth, but at this moment...

"Bang...!"

The ground shook suddenly, causing Nero's hand holding the teacup to shake, and he almost splashed the tea on his clothes.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Nero put down the teacup in his hand unhappily and frowned.

"Is it an earthquake?"

"No, sir, it doesn't seem like an earthquake..."

Adjutant Krim widened his eyes, looked forward uneasily, and spoke.

At the same time, the ground shook again.

"Boom—————Boom—————!!!"

Smoke rose in the distance. At this moment, whether it was intuition or instinct, almost everyone stopped moving, subconsciously raised their heads, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Then, they saw an existence... that they could not imagine at all.

"What is that...??!!!"

Looking at the black shadow in the distance, Nero screamed, and Krim hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.

Then, she was so nervous that she couldn't even believe her eyes.

Under the gaze of the telescope, a huge, weird, terrifying, and towering steel giant was striding towards them. Its height was even taller than Hermann's royal city, and its whole body, including its legs and feet, seemed to be made of steel. But in addition to this, the most eye-catching thing was that on the shoulders of this steel giant, there was a magnificent and magnificent church!

Not only that, in front of this steel giant, Krim also saw several steel chariots that could travel on their own without being pulled by oxen and horses!

"Let me see!!"

Before Krim could take a few more glances, Nero had already hurriedly grabbed the telescope and looked forward. Then the next moment his face suddenly turned pale, his legs softened, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

"Then, what is that?"

"I think it is probably the weapon of the Inquisition."

Krim naturally saw the skull and hammer logo decorated on the steel giant. In fact, the logo of the Inquisition is so easy to recognize that anyone who knows a little about the Inquisition will not forget it - it is really that the villain atmosphere of this logo is too strong.

"Your Excellency!"

Krim hurriedly looked at Nero and said.

"The situation is urgent now. We should send someone to inform the Council of this matter immediately! At the same time, gather the soldiers and refuse to defend the city!"

"Defend the city?"

Hearing this, Nero jumped up like a mouse whose tail was stepped on.

"Don't say defend the city! What a vulgar and ridiculous word! Don't say it again!"

"But............"

"No buts!"

Nero waved his hand and interrupted Krim.

"My Hermann Knights are invincible! All we have to do is to attack! Attack! Attack again! This spirit can never be shaken! The enemy only has a few steel monsters. I don't believe that my Fourth Legion, 50,000 soldiers, can't defeat these monsters! Even if I have to die, I must die with honor on the way to the enemy! Pass on my order, the whole army is ready, and launch an attack on the enemy!!!"

"…………………………"

Looking at the furious Nero in front of him, Krim knew that it was useless for him to say anything more.
