  Chapter 449 Iron torrent!

  The sky is getting brighter.

   Duanmu Huai stood in front of the railing, staring at the distant horizon with a stern expression. Beside him, Ann, Guleya, Augis and others stood there, looking at the scene in front of them with extremely shocking eyes.

   "It's an exaggeration..."

   Even Shizuka was surprised at the moment.

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

   "Of course, this is a provocation to the Tribunal. If that's the case, then I don't mind letting Herman and AL teach me the real power of the Tribunal!"

   After Duanmu Huai finished speaking, he looked at Maria who was standing aside.

   "Start it."

"clear!"

  Maria couldn't wait any longer. When she heard Duanmuhuai's order, she nodded vigorously, and then came to the terminal next to her.

   "All at the ready, supervising refueling and ammunition reloading - chime once, levers pushed, pistons and pumps activated!"

   While speaking, Maria picked up the book next to her.

   "The soul of the God of Myriad Mechanisms entangles you..."

   "Clang...!"

  The big bronze clock swung slowly and made a dull sound. At the same time, the originally silent space began to vibrate, making a low and powerful sound.

   "Sing the bell twice, press the button, start the engine, ignite the turbine, and breathe life into it!"

   "Clang...!"

  The heavy bell rang again, and the dazzling light shrouded everything like the light of life.

   "Toll the big bell three times, sing in unison, and praise the God of Myriad Chances!"

   "Clang——!!"

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

   Hermann's Southern Frontier Line.

  Standing on the city wall, looking at the deployment of the legion below, General Nero Capet VII of the Fourth Army felt his blood surging.

   "Look, Kerim!"

  Nero, who was wearing gorgeous silver-white armor, held a rose in his hand, turned around like a 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 block our attack!"

   "...Are we really going to attack, General?"

  Standing next to Nero was the adjutant Kerim, who was wearing Hermann's black armor and glasses, and had blond hair. Her delicate brows were slightly frowned, obviously disapproving of this.

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

   Speaking of this, Nero waved his hand violently.

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

   "However, if you enter the opponent's territory, you may fall into the trap, and the order we received did not include the invasion of Seth and Lisas..."

"snort………"

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

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

  Facing Nero's question, Kerim hastily lowered his head and replied seriously.

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

"snort."

  Hearing Kerim's answer, Nero snorted softly.

   "It turned out to be a rear supply unit. It's understandable that they are so neglected in combat 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...subordinates don't know."

   "That's General Thomas who was honorably killed in the Lisas offensive before!"

   Having said this, Nero closed his eyes, showing an intoxicated expression.

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

  “…………”

Seeing the man intoxicated with chivalry in front of him, Lieutenant Kerim was speechless, but she knew that, although on the surface, Nero Capet VII was indeed born in a famous Herman family, and he was still the chief Graduated from the elite of the NCO Academy, and known as the first of Herman's youthful arrival - but in fact everyone knows that whether it is the title of Chief or the position of General of the Fourth Army, it is actually a The Capet family bought it with money.

   Otherwise, how could it be possible for a young soldier like him to become the commander of the Fourth Army, one of Herman's five major armies?

   Not to mention, this person has no ability at all. For soldiers, it is indeed an honor to die for the country. But for this man, it was just to satisfy his own vanity. He doesn't understand war at all, he doesn't understand military affairs, he doesn't understand anything, just like a child who knows nothing! Does he think that real wars are as romantic as those written in storybooks?

   Has the current Herman become corrupted to this extent?

Kerim lowered his head, listening to Nero's self-praise, he felt anxious. Among Herman's five legions, the first legion guarded the royal city, the second legion guarded the defense line of the demons, and the third legion was located in the royal capital as a special mobile force. , the Fourth Army is responsible for guarding the southern border to avoid invasion by other countries, and the Fifth Army is deployed as a guerrilla force.

  In terms of position, the duty of the Fourth Army is to prevent the invasion of other countries. But right now, the position of the commander of the Fourth Army was just given to such a guy who only had family background and money, had no ability to speak of, and could only brag about himself. This naturally made Kerim restless. Because this means that Herman's high-level officials don't think that other countries will invade Herman...

  Although she also became Nero, there is some truth to what he said, after all, Seth is currently busy rebuilding, and Lisas may not really take action against Herman.

   But that's based on the fact that they don't take the initiative to attack!

  Once they really want to attack, it's hard to say whether Seth and Lisas will unite and attack Herman!

  With Herman's current political situation, is it really... no problem?

   "Hoo......"

   Didn't know what his adjutant was thinking. After the speech, Nero let out a sigh of relief, and then made a gesture.

   "After talking so much, I'm thirsty. Come and serve tea."

   "Yes, General."

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

   "Boom...!"

  The ground trembled suddenly, causing Nero to shake his hand holding the teacup, almost splashing the tea on his clothes.

   "Damn, what's going on?"

  Nero put down the tea cup in his hand unhappily, and frowned.

   "Is it an earthquake?"

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

  Adjutant Kerim stared wide-eyed, looked forward anxiously, and said.

   At the same time, the earth trembled again.

   "Boom——boom———!!"

  Smoke rose in the distance. At this moment, I don't know whether it was intuition or instinct. Almost everyone stopped their movements, raised their heads subconsciously, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

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

"What it is??!!"

  Looking at the black shadow in the distance, Nero let out a strange cry, while Kerim hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.

  After that, her whole body tensed up, and she couldn't even believe her eyes.

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

   Not only that, in front of this steel giant, Kerim also saw several steel chariots that could move on their own without being pulled by a cow or a horse!

"let me see!"

  Before Kerim took another look, Nero hastily grabbed the binoculars and looked forward. The next moment, his complexion turned pale, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

   "Then, what is that?"

   "I think it is likely to be a weapon of the Inquisition."

Kerim naturally saw the skull and warhammer logos adorning the iron giant. In fact, the logo of the Tribunal is so recognizable, but anyone who knows a little about the Tribunal will never forget it—it is really this The logo is too villainous.

"Your Mightiness!"

   Kerim hurriedly looked at Nero and said.

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

   "Defend the city?"

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

   "Don't say defending the city! What a vulgar and funny word! You are not allowed to say it a second time!"

"but………"

   "No but!"

  Nero waved his hand violently, interrupting Kerim's speech.

"My Herman Knights are invincible! All we have to do is to charge! Charge! Charge again! This spirit cannot be shaken at any time! The opponent is only a few steel monsters, I don't believe my fourth legion, five Thousands of soldiers are still unable to defeat these monsters! Even if you want to die, you must die with honor on the way to the enemy's assault! Pass my order, the whole army is ready to launch an assault on the enemy!!"

  “…………”

  Looking at the distraught Nero in front of him, Kerim knew that it was useless to say anything else.
