At the end of 1915, St. Petersburg, which was supposed to snow, unexpectedly experienced heavy rain.

The storm swayed down from the dark clouds, like black drops of blood spreading in the sky, the moon was covered, and the city under the night sky became even more hazy.

The heavy rain was wrapped in damp and cold water vapor, and the frozen people were shivering. The nearby mansions and villas were all covered by gray water curtains, as if they were standing in the thick fog.

Beichen's northwest front is advancing very quickly. As the first country in the world to enter the industrial revolution, even now it does not have the confidence that one country singled out the world in the past.

But the foundation is still there.The whole city is living under the shadow of distant wars, as if enduring a wound that cannot heal.

During these months, the city was filled with rumors, conflict, bombing and starvation.

Murder, strife, and suspicion have corrupted the city's soul, but even so, many believe that the war is far away and that the storm will pass.If this is the case, the wait will become even more difficult.

Tesla was wearing a raincoat and standing in the torrential rain. The place where he was standing was a narrow alleyway, but the eaves of the houses on both sides were not long, and everything was not much covered by him.

Soon, he heard the crisp sound of horseshoes on the ground, and a carriage stopped at the end of the street.

Soon, the door of the carriage opened, and a woman in a raincoat stepped out of the carriage. She trotted towards Tesla, and crashed directly into Tesla's arms in three steps at a time.

Tesla hugged her, and they hugged each other in the rain, but they didn't say a word, a lot of words have been silent. .

Under the raincoat is an old but very elegant face. Although there are many wrinkles, it can still be seen from the bones that she should have been an elegant woman in the past.

In fact, it's not just as simple as elegant temperament. A few months ago, she had been the queen of a country for decades.

She is Nauda, ​​Tesla's wife.

"You are not in good health. Why did you come out in the rain?" Tesla whispered.

"I miss you so much," Nauda said.

Dane came over from the side, holding a black umbrella in his hand, protecting his mother from the wind and rain.

"Serbia." Nauda choked his throat and said.

"I know." Tesla said in a low voice, "but we are all alive."

Nauda laughed at himself, "What's the use of us all living? In just a few months, 10,000+ young and strong people in Serbia died on the front line. Whose husband and whose son are here?

They believed in me, so they bravely went to the front line and fought to defend this country.

As their king, I should have lived and died with them, but I am here to live. "

Tesla watched her quietly, "Are you grieving because you can no longer be the king of the kingdom, or are you grieving because of their sacrifice and the demise of the kingdom?"

"Of course it's the latter," Nauda said.

Tesla replied, "As long as you live one day, the kingdom has not been destroyed, it can only be regarded as that most of the land is occupied by the enemy.

The war is never over, and their efforts were never in vain. What we did tonight is our counterattack.
And if you die, or are captured and forced to sign certain regulations, that's the end of everything. "

Nauda fell silent.

"Let's talk in the carriage, let's go to the meeting point." Tesla said.

Nawuda nodded, and they got into the carriage together.

With the sound of the axles rumbling, the carriage headed towards the end of the street against the wind and rain.

"When I heard the news that the kingdom was completely occupied, my heart skipped a beat." Tesla said happily, "Fortunately, you are all here."

"My mother originally wanted to stay there and live with the kingdom, but I forcibly took her away." Dane raised his eyebrows and said, "As soon as we left, the mecha troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire invaded the capital."

"This is not something to brag about." Nauda said in a low voice.

Dane lowered his eyes embarrassingly.

"Let's let history judge what happened in the past. Now we only do what we think is right." Tesla whispered.

He opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out the window. The torrential rain had no intention of stopping. The mecha was actually at a disadvantage in such an environment, because the engine would not heat up well, and there would be some problems with the power system.

However, the same is true for enemies.

The carriage quickly came to the forest near St. Petersburg, and they stopped behind a hill, where there were already many people.

Tesla got off the carriage and looked up at everything in the air, where many mechs were parked.

Dane also got down from the carriage, he opened his umbrella, and walked into these mecha forests with Tesla.

There are about 40 mechas here, [-] of them belong to the Brotherhood, and there are a few that they originally had.

These mechas are much taller than the storm mechs, each one is about six meters tall on average, almost two stories tall.

Tesla raised his head and stroked these mechas gently, not caring about the rust and water stains on them, just murmured softly.

"These are all prototypes?"

The middle-aged man also came over from the side, "It should be, at least I haven't seen such a mecha in other countries."

The emergence of mecha technology is just a few decades ago.

All countries are in a state of groping for mechas, so they will inevitably take some detours when designing the mechas.

Either the cost is too high to mass-produce, or the structure is not good enough to fall easily, or the kinetic energy required is too great to move.

After the prototypes of these mechas are built and confirmed to be unsuitable, they will be scrapped and will not be mass-produced.

Some are destroyed and returned to the furnace, and some will be stored as proof of the progress of human history.

These mechas should be this kind of prototype machinery.

The biggest feature of these prototype machines is that they resemble some real creatures, even some mythical creatures.

Because many of the mechas made by Tesla were bionic.

For example, the mecha he is touching now is very human-like, with two arms and two legs. The arms are very long, and the fists are almost the same size as the head. There are no features on the face, as if wearing a faceless mask.

"This is based on the Iron Golem." The middle-aged man said, "In Hebrew legend, it is an inanimate giant made of clay, stone and bronze. According to legend, this giant can move after being injected with magic power, but No ability to think."

Tesla nodded. In addition, he also saw a mecha with a tauren body. The lower body was shot with an anti-foot arch similar to the mecha he saw on Sky Island. He could have a better bounce ability.

"Although these mechas are prototypes that have been eliminated, they are all capable mechas." The middle-aged man said, "It's just that they are not mass-produced because of the high cost and lack of practicality."

Tesla nodded, but before he could react, Dane on the side couldn't wait to climb up the iron golem's feet.

Tesla yelled seriously, "Dane, what are you doing?"

"I have a level-[-] mecha operation certificate." Dane said, "This battle cannot be done without me."

Dane's body was very flexible, and he quickly reached the top. He groped around for the entrance of the mecha control cabin.

After about tens of seconds, he seemed to have discovered something. With his movements, the faceless mask of the mecha slowly split open, opening wider and wider like an observation window.

The steam ejected from the joints of the machine condensed into a white mist under the cold wind at night, and the engine of the mech hadn't started, so the movements at this moment were all due to the air pressure accumulated when the engine was started.

With the opening of the face, the control cabin inside is exposed, just like the storm mech, there are three.

A weapon operator, a driver, and an observer.

He sat directly in the driver's seat.

Tesla stood under the mecha and looked at him.

"You are completely unfamiliar with this mech. Driving it alone is tantamount to courting death."

"Believe me, father." Dane said sincerely, "I am also a Cypriot. I cannot fight side by side with those soldiers who died fighting to defend the Cypriot country, but please let me do something for the Cypriot country."

"I didn't mean to stop you." Tesla turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, watching him gradually change into the mech combat uniform, "Do you want to go in person?"

"I'm a soldier." The middle-aged man said, "The most important thing about this operation is to keep it secret, so the fewer people come, the more familiar you are, the better."

"I understand."

Tesla turned his head and glanced at Nawuda. Years of tacit understanding allowed them to understand each other's meaning from the moment they looked at each other.

Tesla looked up at Dane.

"Put your arms down and carry us up, boy, and I'll be the weapon operator."

Dane was stunned and couldn't help but said.

"Father, mother, this is dangerous."

"What, do you dislike us?" Nauda raised his head and teased, "I was your father's airship observer when I was young, and I'm not blind yet."

"We are family." Tesla said calmly, "Even if we die, we should die together."

"This battle is the key to the whole war situation." Nawuda said seriously, "King, you can't just stay behind your subjects." (End of this chapter)
