I became a sun

Chapter 177 Steel Fortress
On the second day after Arturia ascended the throne, she led the Black Knights to the last stronghold in the west of the Camelot Empire... Cold Winter City.

It was originally created to resist the barbarians on the extreme west plateau. It was the most important frontier fortress of the Camelot Empire at that time. After the Camelot Empire conquered the extreme west plateau 60 years ago, the role of Winter City It's much smaller.

Now, this steel fortress once again played the role it should have played. Under strict defense, the army of the Persian Empire has not captured it for three days and three nights. Ya bought a lot of precious time.

In fact, according to the normal situation, it is the best choice for the enemy to be strong and we are weak to rely on the geographical advantage to consume the enemy.

But what the Camelot Empire knows is that, according to the performance of the battle of the border wall, Winter City is nothing more than a black king's axe.

Judging from the current situation, the wounds left by the black king and the former king had obviously not healed, and he was still unable to lift the magic axe.

The most important point of victory for the Camelot side now is to win the war and kill the black king before the black king's injury heals. The war of attrition is not good for them.

Another point is that the strongest strength of the Camelot Empire lies in the cavalry. Fighting against the black army with energy cells in the city defense battle is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with their own weaknesses.

The heavy armored black cavalry has Camelot's most excellent armor, even the hand system can't leave any scars on its body, the stainless steel conical knight spear that is four to five meters long, and some dragon blood Ryoma.

Under these conditions, such a ferocious torrent of steel has been created. In previous wars, under the charge of the heavy armored cavalry of the Camelot Empire, the final outcome of those enemies will only be a mass of minced meat.

So they must abandon their geographical advantages and confront them head-on on the battlefield!

In fact, it is not completely without a favorable location. There is an endless plain in front of Winter City, and the side of Winter City is still a high terrain, which is most suitable for cavalry charges.

On the second day after Arturia arrived in Winter City, she led the Camelot Empire's 20 troops out of Winter City.

Under the rising sun, the two armies faced each other, and the oppressive feeling brought by the dark Persian Empire army not far away was unimaginable.

You know, if you count four people per square meter, a standard football field can only stand more than 2 people, 30, which is the size of a dozen football fields!

The army standing in front is all shield-bearing infantry.

According to normal circumstances, this kind of army is no different from a pile of meat in front of heavy cavalry.

But what made Arturia in the distance slightly change color was a long cry after the hundreds of thousands of troops lined up.

"Woo~"

Behind the crowd, hundreds of giant beasts several meters high slowly walked out from behind the crowd, wearing Lin and armor.

It was a group of giant elephants, not that kind of mammoth, but they were much taller than ordinary elephants, especially the pair of ferocious ivory, which brought incomparable oppression to people.

Elephant Cavalry, the most proud cavalry army of the Persian Empire.

After the group of giant elephants appeared, an extraordinarily huge black elephant also came out from the crowd. It was covered with gorgeous golden armor, and a pair of ferocious ivory tusks were longer than its trunk, as if it could sweep away all obstacles.

On its back is a throne, made of pure gold, and three sharp long knives are inserted on both sides of the throne.

Sitting on the throne was a muscular black man nearly three meters tall. He was an unusually orthodox black man, glowing black, and it was impossible to ignore his existence under the sun.

It's as if the black man went to do tanning [-] times specially. The ears, neck, arms and even the whole body are made of gold, which is extremely luxurious and extravagant.

He was still holding a gold wine glass in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, as if the war had already been won.

That is the No.20 third generation king of the Persian Empire, Darius III!
"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Beside Artoria, a cavalry commander looked at the extremely conspicuous herd of elephants not far away with an ugly expression. He couldn't guarantee whether their cavalry could charge against the herd of elephants.

Artoria clenched her fist tightly.

"They hardly used this army in the previous battles, obviously waiting for our arrival to give us a fatal blow by surprise."

After a pause, Arturia stared fixedly at Darius III in the distance, her face was ferocious, and the killing intent in her eyes seemed to kill him ten thousand times.

Darius seemed to feel this kind of sight too, he looked at Arturia along the line of sight, the corners of his mouth slightly opened, showing his white teeth, and toasted a glass of wine to Artoria from afar.

This sloppy look ignited Arturia's anger even more, but when she knew that it was not time to act on her own will, she gritted her teeth and said.

"Pass down the order, all..."

beep~
Just as she was about to give the order to retreat, a siren sounded from nowhere, followed by tremors on the ground, as if some huge monster was about to approach.

Artoria turned around suspiciously, only to see more than a dozen steel behemoths slowly approaching.

The whole body is made of steel. At first glance, it looks a bit like the front of a steam train, but it is even more hideous.

The whole body is covered by black steel, the entrance and the door cannot be seen, there is a V-shaped ram made of steel in front of the front of the car, a huge steel plate tens of centimeters thick, if there is enough power to accelerate, even the city wall Can be easily knocked open.

The side of the huge wheel is also protected by steel, and there are ferocious spikes, making it completely impossible for people to approach.

This is a steel fortress with more than a dozen steampunk vehicles!
More than a dozen cars stopped in front of Arturia, the entrance on the roof opened, and a thin middle-aged man in a white coat with glasses and a beard appeared in front of everyone. His face With an inexplicable smile, he teased Artoria.

"It looks like our new king is in a little trouble."

"Vega Punk?"

Artoria called out the old man's name with a puzzled expression, and then she looked at the dozen or so steel fortresses around, and said in surprise as if she had thought of something.

"you succeeded?"

Vegapunk raised his eyes, and said with an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, proudly:
"That's natural. Who do you think I am Vegapunk? In fact, I succeeded a month earlier. In order to be able to play a role in this war, I went all out to produce it. I didn't produce more than a dozen of them until yesterday."

Arturia stared at the steel fortress, the glimmer of light in her eyes said in surprise:
"Does it really have the combat power you said?"

"Otherwise, why would I bring them here?" Vegapunk said to Artoria angrily.

Artoria's face flickered with excitement when she got the answer, and then she turned her gaze back to Darius III and whispered to Vegapunk softly.

"You came really in time."
