Chapter 291: Past Glory (I)
Constance Dante finally stopped, and the short knife in his hand poked at something hard. The pen www.biquge.info clean up the dirt covered above, only to see that he saw a steel plate underneath, and for a while, the suspicious Cons Dante was silent and directly pried open the steel plate with a knife, and under the steel plate was-
With a bang, Cons Dante was negligent for a moment, and the joystick slipped and the fighting short knife in the mecha's hand fell into the deep pit, and the sound of metal colliding was heard below. Beneath the pit, there stood only a silent giant, dressed in armor solemn and majestic, what a familiar breath!
That'sβ
"Klibanophoro]" Konsh-Dante muttered to himself, he had no idea that King Angros would leave him with this.
[klibanophoro], which was originally the name of the classical heavy knights of New Rome, was the elite of the elite during the period of Emperor Justinian, you must know that in order to recover the western territory lost by the collapse of old Rome, [klibanophoro] once made great achievements in northern Africa, and also repelled the powerful Sassanid Empire in the east.
Because of this, the new Roman Empire, after mastering the new machine of warfare, the mecha, named the highest sequence of its standard mecha [klibanophoro]. It can be seen that although the armored knight has launched the stage of history, the glory left by it still remains in people's hearts.
And this is also very familiar to Consitine Dante, not only because it was this ultimate mecha that he piloted when he broke through Constantinople, but also because when he commanded the elite [First Knights] of the elite of the empire as a knight king, all the people under his command were in [klibanophoro]. That's why he was shaken when he saw the mech. But he really didn't understand why, why, why Angros actually had this mecha in his hands. You know, the value of [klibanophoro] is enormous, and even the Holy See has to admit that this terrible war machine created by the new Roman Empire is a disaster for the West if it is not possible to assemble it on a large scale. Back then, Emperor Scipio was strict about this, and he would not tolerate the exodus at all!
"Angelos, I can't figure out how many hole cards you have!" Constance Dante smiled bitterly and shook his head, no wonder that person was confident in his heart, it seems that this mecha was placed here a long time ago, it seems that Angelos does not trust the nobles of Trebizond at all! But now it has become the key to turning the tide in the hands of Constance Dante.
[Klibanophoro] is the ultimate mecha that uses neural connections, and there are not many people who can drive it, and its harsh conditions are even higher than those of the Holy See, and Constance Dante seems to be the right fit as the Knight King.
However, there was no relief on Constance Dante's face, and the reason was naturally very simple, that is, Constance Dante himself, the long and high-intensity battles made him physically and mentally exhausted, although this was already commonplace for Cons Dante. But Constance Dante is facing a real army this time! If you can't destroy the center of the Seljuk army, it's too late!
β¦β¦
"What the hell is going on now, doesn't there be another person in charge?" In the House of Elders, the angry councillors were completely overwhelmed, Angros was not there, Andopulis was not there, and the news ahead was cut off, and the chaotic battle situation made everything uncontrollable, and they naturally panicked. In the past, the patriarchs of the Paglio family and the king of Trebizond would have been here, which would have made them feel more at ease, but now even they don't know what to do.
Judging from the current battle reports, the amazing mechanical monster that appeared now is seriously threatening their safety, and the councillors already feel very unsafe to stay here.
"Who knows? Hum...... Now it seems that sooner or later we will become prisoners of the Seljuks. β
"What are you talking about, how can you say that at such a time?"
The agitated councillors soon began to quarrel, most of them complaining to each other, first of all the two sides who had previously discussed war against the Nicaeans, and this time the grim situation was precisely because they sent the elite of the whole country to the western theater of operations, which made the internal emptiness for the Seljuks to take advantage of.
But now they can't do anything but complain, and they don't even know that the city has become a mess.
"What's going on, what are those people doing?" Dr. Fabre watched the carnage in front of him and tried to take a deep breath to calm himself. He could not understand why the gendarmerie were aiming their guns at their civilians.
But Dikaiat was very calm, and said flatly: "They are preventing the Turks from mixing in, it seems that they don't care about the lower city at all, they just want to ensure the safety of the upper city." β
"Then what are we going to do, Chief Guard." In Cons's Dante's absence, the guards were of course looking out for him, and now the only one who could control the situation was this man.
"Retreat, at least the Seljuks don't see us as the main enemy, and we should be able to buy time by taking advantage of the terrain of the lower city. We can take the opportunity to catch a person and ask where the Grand Duke is. "These Ross guards don't really care about the city's safety, they're just for ConsitΓ© Dante.
"Okay." Everyone nodded, not paying any attention, and as soon as they found Constance, Dante, they decided to evacuate the dangerous city.
But a timid voice rang out, attracting the attention of the guards.
"That-Brother Cons, Dante, is it going to be on the battlefield?" Ekarina said worriedly, even this girl understood that it was impossible for Cons, Dante not to appear in such a fierce war.
"That's almost certain." Dr. Fabre then said that he had no suspicion at all, and that the disappearance of Considine Dante had something to do with it.
Dicaiat also realized this, and his face stiffened slightly, indeed, it was impossible for Consy Dante's talent as a knight king not to be used. But what the hell should I do?
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
β¦β¦
In the narrow, dark space, Constance Dante touched the familiar and unfamiliar devices, [klibanophoro] were both friends and enemies to him, destroying his body but also propelling him to the altar.
Judging from the condition inside, it seems that there is regular maintenance, and the fuel and electricity can barely support him in battle, and it will not be as embarrassing as it was when he was in Constantinople. As long as it works, then Constance Dante doesn't have to worry about anything.
"It's been a long time, old friend." Constance Dante whispered as he brushed away the smoke and dust in front of him, and then pressed the switch in the cockpit.
A "hum-" sounded, and Cons-Dante felt a flicker of light before him, followed by a cold, hollow voice ringing in his ears.
"Attention, the mech joint lock is on."
"Attention, the electronic fire control system is activated."
"Notice that the power core is running and the fuel is being injected."
β10%β
β40%β
β80%β
β100%β
The power core slowly kicked into action, letting out a dragon-like roar, and as the hoarse voice fell, the originally gloomy cockpit became brighter, and Constance Dante could see his eyes clearly through the mech's vision.
However, on the ground, the Seljuk army, which had been scattered by a surprise attack before, was slowly approaching again, although the main force was trying to resist the ancient mecha, but they could not completely ignore the Herod knight, knowing that the other party had killed them before.
"Where is he? What about the knight just now? The five mechs came over slowly, and after they learned the news, as a reserve, they rushed over without wasting a second, but they couldn't find the knight before, which naturally made people nervous.
The approaching knight scanned everything on the battlefield, the heavy losses they suffered were heart-wrenching, but it was indeed very unfortunate that they still did not kill the knight for a long time.
"Here!" Someone shouted loudly, and they saw the [Sea Harrier] that was close to being scrapped.
The mech had a large wound in its abdomen, lying on the ground, and a Shock Knight stabbed a spear into the mech's body, successfully injuring it. The armor-piercing spear easily pierced through the already cracked armor plates.
The protection of the knight is always the tightest for the mecha, although the [Sea Harrier] is a light mecha, and the defense is not very high, but its armor plate is of absolutely high quality, but now it is as brittle as paper. It can be seen that the previous battle was tragic and amazing.
Even the dense rain of bullets scarred the armor plates, and the defense power was greatly reduced, and the war spear happened to penetrate through a nearly collapsed armor plate, almost piercing the entire mech. And there was the cockpit of the mech, which means that they managed to kill the knight.
The slightly excited Seljuk knight glanced around, and all he saw was wind and rain, after all, it was too simple.
The Turks had not wiped it out after spending so much effort and casualties before, but now it was really like a dream to destroy it with just a few of them.
"Wait a minute!" But at this time, someone became vigilant and slowly approached the destroyed mecha, and replaced it with a relatively short fighting knife in his hand, and it took a long time to pry open the cockpit door.
They wanted to see the appearance of the knight who had fought with them for so long and deserved to be feared...... But the next moment, in front of them, there was an empty cockpit.
"This ...... This...... How can it be? The exclamating knights said incredulously.
Lowering the fighting dagger in his hand, the knight looked at the empty cockpit and pondered, could it be that the knight had escaped.
But at this moment, in front of his eyes, the wreckage of the mecha suddenly moved.
Well? The Turkic knight thought his eyes were spent, and couldn't help but rub them. But the wreckage was moving.
"This isβ" Suddenly, they became nervous, there were so many strange things happening today, and the slightest carelessness could lead to death.
"Mahmoud retreat!" Unfortunately, this reminder was a bit too late. Before the Turkic knight could react when the brawling knife pried open the cockpit door, an iron claw pierced through the wreckage of the mech, and then directly strangled the neck of the mech he was piloting, immobilizing it.
It was a mech, a brand new mech.
The sharp tip of the claw may be short for the mech, but it's still sharp enough to tear through steel, and the knight's ride named Mahmoud is firmly clamped and unable to move. Only then did the Seljuk knights discover that a large hole was blocked under the wreckage of the mecha, and the black mecha that suddenly appeared was drilled out from underneath.
The Seljuk knights watched in amazement as the jet-black back gradually stood up and appeared in front of them, like a demon crawling out of the abyss.
At this moment, the huge demon god in his mind was suddenly reduced to a scarred child, and as soon as pity was born, Cizer became a roaring beast again.
The next wave of attacks began, and regardless of their companions being held hostage, their artillery fire, barrage of fire, and sword light immediately enveloped the black demon.
However, the black figure does not move, and that is the amazing power of [klibanophoro]. The powerful armor plates were not threatened by the painless artillery fire, even of the most powerful mechs of the Holy See.
In front of the Seljuks, the black demon god vibrated and roared, and at 300% power, it threw the struggling knight in his hand directly, and it drew a heavy armor-piercing hammer from the weapon rack behind it, and strode into the encirclement to face the knight on the side.
The knights, who had already prepared in their hearts, also drew their dragon tooth swords at the same time to meet them.
Every time Constance Dante waved his arm in the mech, a knight was blasted out, and the terrifying hammer was simply the knight's deadly nemesis.
"Ahh
But the moment before he pulled it, the claws of the black ** god had already fallen, directly breaking the arm of his car, and falling to the ground along with the crashing cannon.
And then, the hammer fell straight down under the gaze of the dead knight.
"What a god!" Before he could say this, there was a bang, and the last knight fell. (To be continued.) )
