Chapter 720 1636 Who Is the Sword For?

Chapter 720 Chapter 16.36 For whom is the sword drawn!

In the sky north of the empire, an airship with an iron star symbol floated quietly in the sky.

This 300-meter-long airship was in "invisible" state, and it looked like a white cloud from the outside. (Enma's "camouflage" skill)

On the command platform, Enma watched the deployment of the imperial army, holding a bowl of noodles with soybean paste in his hand. The chopsticks stirred the noodles, and the meat sauce and peanut butter stuck to the noodles and were sucked into them by Enma.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Enma paused, and the fingertips radiated "softening magic". The original ceramic properties changed, the hardness became softer, and the toughness became stronger, just like rubber, and the entire bowl bottom was turned out.

After Enma licked the peanut butter on the original bottom plate, he wiped it with a napkin, turned it back, and sent it to the dishwasher on the side. Oh, maybe it doesn't need to be washed anymore.

The contemporary hero is an "arcane boiler", which is fueled by the national spirit and morale and driven by "concepts".

The super-large combat vehicle is the most powerful war unit and a spiritual totem (similar to the concept of Yamato). On this vehicle, every driver can drive some unimaginable "material changes" and "supernatural repairs" in the outside world, just like "sacrificing in the temple" in the past.

As a hero unit, Enma can now call on the "concept power" on his body at will to strengthen his body in a special way.

Note: The last time he went to the arcane world, Wei Keng had completed the "human immortal" system. That system could slap the dragon's butt at that time, but now the times have changed. This "system" is like the Cambrian biological vision for hero units, which is standard for Quaternary animals.

In the current fierce changes, the "information" that Enma obtains from the industrial field every second is converted into self-vitality, which can be equivalent to decades of hard work in the "meditation system". In a "modern temple" like the Land Cruiser, it is normal for heroes to break rocks and punch through steel plates with their bare hands.

Of course, if they wantonly destroy their own Land Cruisers, the heroes' ability to recover will be weakened, just like people can break their own fingers, but no one will go crazy.

When a large airship falls from a height of several thousand meters and explodes, the hero unit can still "have torn clothes but no body". Before, the rebels blew up the large cruisers of the Empire several times, and there were still people who survived inside, all for the same reason.

…After people occupy scarce resources, they always like to make themselves special. …

In the ancient times, the rich people would forget about it, hiding all kinds of cars in the garage, and beauties on the stepping stone.

In this world under the empire system, the hero units will be even more like this. But at this time, in the great changes, the growing hero units will also be gradually affected when they come into contact with the "hero" culture.

In the Swan City Uprising a year ago, among the two leaders, Ludis in the south of the Empire has not been heard from for a long time.

Enma is still a country boy now, and he does funny things like "licking the sauce from the bottom of the bowl" in his daily life. Of course, Enma's "improper" behavior is limited to his daily life.

On the airship, Enma, wearing boilerman's clothes, stood on the map and whispered: "War is a fight of life and death, and the attitude must be correct. As correct as life."

… The perspective came to the other side, another "chess player"...

In the imperial palace, when the noble staff spread out the huge parchment map, the regent gazed at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the north of the empire.

On his map, there are no large red areas, just like there are no large "starving areas" in the empire's governance area. The most basic way to whitewash the peace is to turn "bad signs" into insignificance. And insignificant threats will not appear on the top-level map. (So, don't blame Jiang Gong for showing off his skills, because the map he saw had a lot of room for maneuver.)

On the map of the Regent, with the landing of the Anglos, the main force of the Iron Star Rebellion has been locked in a cage.

The northern rebellion of the empire is about to be wiped out.

Of course, these are no longer the focus of the Regent's concern.

The Regent squinted his eyes and watched Minlar's troops suddenly disobey the command and suddenly go north. Of course, after learning that General Henry hurriedly went north alone, he nodded slightly.

…

Fifty years later, the war historians who tended to the Empire faction, who were two generations of Anglo immigrants, sighed at "Henry" going north alone, because if he had to take five units to the north together and gather into a large force, there would not be a series of subsequent chain reactions.

Of course, these are the perspectives of mortals. From the perspective of gods, we can know that the complex and bloated politics of the empire made it impossible for Henry to take his troops north.

Henry did not take his troops north, which was the attitude of persuading Minlar.

If Henry brought a small number of troops, it would be his attitude to join forces with Minlar and force the empire to abdicate.

Henry would not arouse the regent's suspicion, and he did something that was perfect politically but fatally flawed militarily.

Of course, even if Henry led his troops north, he could not save the empire from being bloated in this war.

Because, Enma could completely adjust the deployment and fight the "Henry left" troop.

In short, Enma's combat effectiveness is very subjective and active. As long as the empire's rigid combat force makes mistakes such as splitting troops, it will be killed.

For such an "incurable" empire, the gods can only watch from the sidelines.

…Under the clustered flowers, there are rotten roots…

The regent tapped his hands and made a decision, and the servants beside him put away the parchment map.

“During the period of time when Henry is sure to control Minlar, in order to avoid more trouble, the imperial capital will escort Princess Shirley to the northern port first.”

When the regent made this decision, a knight attendant from the court couldn’t help but raise doubts: “Now that the northern rebellion is still there, will it be a bit surprising for Her Royal Highness to set off at this time?”

The regent looked at this knight attendant and had already classified him as a faction that “opposes peace”.

Narrator: Once a person is either yes or no on a political issue, no matter how smart he was before, he will begin to ignore a lot of fatal loopholes.

The Regent still responded publicly: "The Imperial Army has achieved a major victory near Swan City. The straw mud rebels in the north have melted the ice and snow under the attack of the main force of the Empire. Only some people in the south (city party members) remain pessimistic about the situation in the Empire, but I believe that in the face of "iron facts", any quibbling is meaningless.

In addition, I can reveal a secret. I will equip Shirley (Her Royal Highness) with three airships, three "knight chariots", and three "energy destroyers" to escort her to the northern Nobing Port."

In the eyes of the Regent, such an Imperial Army guard is completely unlikely to have any accidents.

In the eyes of the Regent, if Minlar wins the victory in this eradication of the rebels, and then proposes to the princess, and the princess is still in the country at this time, that would be a huge surprise!

…For the flower growers in the palace, they only need flowers and don't need to think about the roots. …

So, on September 7, when Enma was licking noodles and commanding the troops to quickly reach the front-line assembly area, he was sure that a combat-capable force had also appeared on the imperial capital side and was heading to another direction.

At first, Enma thought that the imperial capital's strategic determination was "first north and then south", but intelligence along the way showed that the Empire's various forces did not implement the "center blossoming tactics" with the Minlar Group.

The "weird" dispersion of the imperial army made Enma confirm that this created an opportunity for Iron Star to annihilate.

Master Wei: "I brewed a barrel of wine, just enough to get a table of people drunk. Now that half of the table has come, it will be even easier. The remaining half of the table will come, just knock them out with a stick."

… Iron Star's prepared annihilation battle has waited for the best opponent...

With Enma's order, the main force of the entire Northern Iron Star Army began to assemble.

Iron Star dispatched three 1,000-ton "Mountain Giant Class" in this battle.

The "Mountain Giant" class is 60 meters long and 30 meters high. The armed chariots, which are like a small building, are gathering southward at night.

These "Mountain Giant" class chariots gathering northward have thick armor, but they are actually protected by key protection. There are a large number of partition structures on the outer shell. In these partition structures, the steam power of the boiler can control the water layer to fill the surface to be defended. As for the internal power furnace, it is heavily protected by coal seams and water tanks.

The main attack weapon of the "Mountain Giant" is a twin-mounted 280mm main gun.

The siege warheads it carries can smash open fortifications. Of course, the main purpose of Enma to build this large unit is to provide logistics. There is a welding and maintenance system inside the huge body.

The huge "hatch" at the tail of the Mountain Giant can swallow the "Heavy Knight" level Land Cruiser unit, repairing this residual blood unit whose material structure and conceptual structure have been severely damaged in the bombardment.

At the same time, the mechanical arm can extend from the rear of the turret to replace the turret, engine, track and other guarantees for those "light armor units of more than 40 tons" on the field outside the "giant" body.

The heavy armored corps of Tiexing rushed directly to the Minlar Group.

The troops mobilized by Tiexing totaled three mountain giants, four airships, fifteen magic destroyers, fourteen heavy missile tanks (9 females and 5 males), and twenty-seven heavy infantry-level tanks.

Thousands of tons of armored vehicles crossed the river along the way, blocking the flow of the river. These rivers, which were originally 40 to 50 meters wide, were temporarily blocked by the armored troops like a long steel dragon. The river was cut off by this "steel dam", and the water surface overflowed the dam. The width of the river surface was temporarily expanded to 100 meters. The overflowing river water submerged the forests along the way and filled the surrounding ponds with water.

Enma has been accumulating troops all the time, because Enma knows exactly his hero skills. The larger the size of the corps, the stronger the effect of skill assistance.

…In the northern land of the Empire, the metal mountains are advancing like mudslides…

On September 8, the Minlar Group, due to the lack of strategic reconnaissance forces, did not know that large-scale enemies had appeared about 60 kilometers to the left and right of the Imperial Army.

The Empire's industrialization is concentrated in large cities, where steel structures are meticulously carved. Each construction plant is like an incubator, using geometric steel and solutions to build giant units.

But this kind of industrialization is too arrogant and lacks the ability to survive in marginal areas. As a result, during the war, the Empire's light infantry platoons and battalions with steam trucks as vehicles, which were originally used to gain battlefield perception, were suppressed by the Iron Star's peasant army and could only rely on observations from airships. However, even the airships dared not fly far away from the city under the constant monitoring of the Iron Star's pesticide aircraft, otherwise the airbags would be blown apart by the "strong wind".

The Iron Star side had done a very good job of ground camouflage. Minlar did not find the main force of the Iron Star during three aerial observations during the pursuit. Minlar's airship had a blurred view of the Iron Star ground corps. In the sky, he could only see that the Iron Star station was a huge earthen slope and forest.

What's worse is the imperial system. Only colonel-level officers can participate in intelligence analysis.

The map accuracy of Minlar's lieutenants is at the level of tourist maps.

The colonels of the imperial military were too busy to notice these details on the map when fighting the Iron Star. Faced with complicated battlefield false news, it was difficult for them to notice these details on the map.

Even if a few people noticed it, they would not say anything and bring it up.

Now, under the high mood of Minlar, the commander, those who are too cautious and worried are not suitable for the "team spirit" led by Minlar, the commander.

So in the imperial chariots, these suave imperial officers in neat uniforms would never use the small problem of the map to show their "cowardice and allergy" at this time.

…When a leader establishes a "self-centered" system, then he can only be right. …

Minlar's map shows that his troops are advancing straight ahead. The map is surrounded by scoundrels. His front is unobstructed, and he will advance to the rebel base of Misul Industrial City in two days.

For Minlar, the frequency of harassment from the peasant army's agricultural locomotives, single-turret tanks, and these mud-blooded scoundrels is increasing. Such "desperate" blocking makes him feel that he has caught the loopholes of the rebels.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Minlar's armored division paused slightly. On the flagship tank, the intelligence staff of the empire spread out the map, and Minlar himself was sketching the front and rear rows of the troops during the offensive route.

The reason for his pause was that the empire's rear sent several telegrams with hidden meanings.

Faced with the "questioning" of the giants in the empire's rear, Minlar, a "pure soldier", had to suspend the army and wait for the arrival of General Henry.

…The two imperial generals wasted precious energy on a “political topic” before they were about to enter the encirclement…

The “buzzing” sound of air flow vibrated and landed outside the giant armored vehicle.

In the protective circle formed by five “heavy infantry”-level armored vehicles like small hills, the 120-ton steam helicopter (refer to the Soviet Mil V-12) that Henry was riding landed with a bang.

General Henry walked down the gangway, and Minlar held a proper reception ceremony for the general. Fifty soldiers, twenty-five pairs of soldiers, drew their swords, formed a sword arch, and opened it for the general in turn.

After seeing Minlar, Henry patted him on the shoulder and said, “Minlar, you left without saying hello. You made everyone very worried.”

Minlar wanted to explain, but Henry interrupted: “No need to say, you continue to fight next, and I will cooperate with you.”

The two hero units did not know that the “perspective drone” constructed of gold foil was floating above them, clearly photographing the meeting of the two “hero units”.

…After the war, Enma sighed: When you are making a serious deployment, you never know to what extent your opponent can be absent-minded…

On the other side of the battlefield, Enma has already sat on the command chariot of his energy destroyer. Three hundred meters in front of the chariot is a mountain giant-level vehicle that serves as a meat shield to resist damage.

The interior of the vehicle is divided into eighteen working areas. Enma is in the three cubic meters of operating space in the center. The magic crystal interface is placed on the left, and there are hundreds of interfaces on it. In fact, Enma activated the "mind transmission" hook (drilling plane loopholes and adding superpowers to himself), and obtained a general perspective similar to "Total War Game".

In this battle of Enma, six representatives of the Iron Star Emerging Officers Corps of the elite team, Beth, Kaidang, Lina (female), Cruz, Anjiexin (female), and Willy (old friend) participated in the meeting through remote communication

These young generals of Iron Star are now in different positions in the encirclement of the Minlar Group, located on different Iron Star giant combat vehicles.

Enma confirmed that these "columns" had arrived at the location on time. From the Blue Birch Bay to the basalt hills, everything was clearly arranged by the Imperial Army. The space and time of the battle, our side completely mastered the active rhythm.

Enma raised his palm, five fingers, and said to the combat officers of various departments in the metal cockpit: "I have a 50% chance of winning this war, but I am 100% sure that you will be famous from now on. But at this moment, I want to ask you a fundamental question, that is, for whom do we hold our swords?

A princess, and the honor and disgrace of being a knight, or the overall situation of the great men who maintain the balance of power?"

Enma looked at Willy.

This student of Greve, a partner in a trench since Swan City. Master Wei confirmed that he has begun to show the qualifications of a hero in recent days, and there is an unknown interference force behind this.

Willy looked at Enma and said, "General, we draw our swords for the cause of justice."

Enma stared at him and wanted to ask, "What is justice?" However, the atmosphere at this moment was not suitable for a discussion because justice was too huge.

Enma turned to the platform, picked up the microphone, and reported to the entire army at this time: "Everyone, draw your swords for the cause of justice! We will never coexist with oppression."

In the center of the etheric world, the concept of the red iron star was creating a vast information field, eclipsing the Sky Empire Griffin emblem.
