At noon the next day, Lin Youde finally arrived in Dessau.

The station was crowded with wounded soldiers, and everyone rushed onto the train without waiting for the people on the train to get off, for fear that they would be left behind. A little further away from the train, a large number of civilians with luggage and families were trying to cross the blockade formed by soldiers.

Lin Youde couldn't help but smack his lips, it seemed that the situation on the front line was even worse than he expected.

He walked through the chaotic platform under the escort of his retinue, and suddenly he saw several broken magic armors thrown on the stacks near the platform, alongside the coal used for the train.

"Shouldn't that be important equipment?" Lin Youde couldn't help but ask the officer who came to pick up the car, "Even if it is broken, it's not good to throw it there like this, right?" ”

"It's not that we threw away Mr. Advisor," replied the officer at once, "but our Magic Armor Maintenance Unit is dismantling the Magic Armor Workshop in Dessau, and there is no way to repair them, so they are going to load them up and transport them back to Munich, but they have not been able to vacate the wagons yet, because Miss Viola insists that the wounded soldiers and the warriors who cannot fight must be evacuated first." ”

Lin Youde nodded and waved his hand to signal the officer to move on.

Soon the group passed through the crowd near the train station and boarded the car that came to pick up Lin Youde. It took a lot of effort for the car to break out of the crowd and drive onto the main road.

Compared with when Lin Youde came to Dessau more than half a year ago, there were obviously more people on the streets of Dessau at this time, but everyone was moving in one direction, all with a lot of luggage. However, Lin Youde also noticed that many people were standing in front of their stores, or leaning against the windows and looking at the situation on the street, and they did not seem to have any intention of fleeing.

At this time, the officer who came to greet him took the initiative to say: "Most of the people who have fled are wealthy residents, who are afraid that the imperial government will sack the city. ”

Lin Youde didn't speak, the too calm reaction of the civilians made Lin Youde hesitate a little, originally he thought that he would see a scene of the army and the people fighting the same enemy in Dessau, but now this situation made him begin to doubt whether his carefully prepared reversal plan could be realized.

Worried, the officer, who had already opened the conversation, continued: "A few blocks away...... Well, in the workers' quarters, it's a different story. Everywhere hung red strips of cloth with slogans such as 'Armed defense of the factories' and 'defense of the fruits of labor,' and only the poorly equipped workers' Red Guards marched around the streets. Are they really going to use that equipment to fight against Hime......"

"Mr. Major," Lin Youde said in a stern tone to the officers who looked much older than him, "no matter what, they have shown enough courage, and as a soldier, shouldn't they be appreciated for that?" ”

The major was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a few seconds before he replied awkwardly, "Uh, yes, you're right. ”

"And what they did was not for nothing," Lin continued, "and while they would almost certainly be beaten by the Knights of War Queens and suffer heavy casualties, their resistance would also consume the spirit and physical strength of the enemy Battle Queens, making it necessary for the enemy to pay more to take the city, and they would buy us time to regroup." No matter how you look at it, what they have done is worthy of respect and gratitude, and you should apologize for the disrespect you just gave them. ”

"Yes." The Major replied, sounding somewhat unpleasant.

Lin Youde pursed his lips, it was obviously impossible to change the minds of these soldiers all at once, so he didn't say anything more.

The headquarters of the Republican Army is located in a typical baroque manor house on the outskirts of Dessau, and the large garden in front of the mansion has been turned into an open-air maintenance center for the magic armor of the Knights of War.

There were several technicians standing under each armor, nervously debugging something, Lin Youde also saw someone replacing the armor sheet of the body with the help of a crane, and the truck carrying maintenance parts honked its horn and sped past Lin Youde's car, disappearing into the grove behind the mansion.

Next to the fountain where no water sprayed out, Lin Youde saw a group of girls in ugly work clothes, everyone was exhausted, even if Lin Youde's car drove past them and kicked up a large cloud of dust, they didn't care.

As he drove towards the mansion, Lin Youde saw many more such girls, most of whom fell asleep on the only remaining lawn by the roadside.

Finally, Lin Youde's car drove to the stairs at the main entrance of the manor mansion.

Before the car stopped, a young orderly came up to open the door for Lin Youde, and when Lin Youde stepped on the ground with both feet, Green, who had been following Viola since the beginning of the war, appeared in front of the gate of the mansion.

He immediately stretched out his right hand and greeted Lin Youde.

Lin Youde shook hands with Green, then he glanced at the bandages on Green's head, and naturally asked, "Injured?" ”

"I was shot in the left eye by shrapnel while retreating last night." Green smiled at Lin Youde.

Lin Youde replied in a businesslike tone: "You have suffered." Where is Your Excellency Speaker now? ”

"Your Excellency, please call her Miss Commander-in-Chief when you are at the headquarters." After a pause, Green continued, "Miss Commander-in-Chief is in a military meeting and can't meet with you right away, so she specifically instructed me to take you to see Miss Matsudaira Chihiro first. ”

"Very well, lead the way."

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, the piercing alarm sounded throughout the manor.

It was too late, and the girls who were lying on the lawn like corpses just now all got up in an instant, and everyone was desperately running to their bodies, and the technicians who were already nervously repairing the bodies were even more busy like hornets that had been stabbed in their nests.

The entire garden in front of Lin Youde seemed to have suddenly turned into some kind of huge lifeform, and everyone who was running and busy was its cell, which looked chaotic but had an internal order and the efficiency that accompanied it.

At this moment, the alarm suddenly stopped, and someone on the radio shouted: "It's situation 503, repeat, situation 503, the first aid team and the emergency repair team immediately go to the standby location......"

The busyness just now also stopped abruptly as the alarm stopped, and the warlord girls who had already stepped into the body with one foot jumped back to the ground, and the technicians who were still running fast just now also slowed down. The manor, which had been transformed into a living entity, returned to calm at the speed of "activation" with the others.

With the exception of a handful of people, Lin Youde saw them pushing what looked like some kind of cutter to the still empty spot in the middle of the garden, and the people who followed the cutter carried large vises, jacks, and other large tools that Lin Youde didn't recognize.

The next moment, a magic armor that was slightly larger than the standard type magic armor and equipped with metal wings on its back crossed the treetops of the woods at the end of Lin Youde's line of sight, and then smashed straight into the clearing in the garden as if it had exhausted its most strength.

Lin Youde immediately understood what was the only reason for it, only the lawn of the vacant land had disappeared so completely.

The mech, after smashing into the clearing, slid far away until it reached the edge of the clearing, leaving a terrible scratch on the ground - if you repeated this a few times, the lawn would of course be completely eradicated, and there would be nothing left.

The crowd that had just rushed to the open ground immediately gathered around the body, and they first used the cart as a fulcrum to set up a lever, cocked the body on one side, turned it over, and then began to cut the body's breastplate.

Lin Youde watched the scene of their work intently, and then Green said: "Don't worry, they are all experienced rescue experts, and they know the thickness of the armor well, and they will definitely not hurt the battle queen inside." Advisor, are we ......"

Lin Youde raised a hand and interrupted Green.

"No, I want to finish it."

Green nodded immediately and said no more.

Soon, the first layer of armor was removed, revealing the lighter second layer of armor inside, and this time the strong technicians did not use cutting equipment, but used vises to first widen the gaps in the armor, drive into the wedges, and then use jacks to stretch the two wedges apart little by little.

Finally, the armor was opened, and the upper body of the battle hime, who had collapsed inside, was helped up. Personnel with red cross armbands immediately stepped forward, wiped the blood from her body, shredded her clothes with scissors, and examined and washed her wounds.

Green was very intimate with the understanding: "Generally, there will be no obvious external injuries on the body of this kind of war queen who can successfully return, and most of the blood is spit out of her mouth when her body is overloaded, ah ah now they are trying to make war queen vomit, so as to spit out what may be blocked in her throat." ”

"Why don't you rescue Zhan Ji first, what are you doing here?" Lin Youde asked strangely.

"This kind of flying armor is different from the one used by the Shenji, the Shenji can make the heavier armor fly, so the armor of the Shenji is generally the size of the Nibelungen of Miss Viola, with a large internal space, and the legs are also equipped with a more reliable and complex load-bearing and cushioning structure. But the flying magic armor used by the battle queen is different, they can't carry anything too heavy, so the internal space of the armor is narrow, and it is basically close to the body, especially the legs. In addition, her landing just now was too stiff, and it is likely that her leg bone has been broken, and forcibly pulling her out is likely to break her entire thigh. So you have to be careful to saw the armor of the legs. ”

Lin Youde listened to Green's explanation silently.

Green continued: "After this rescue is over, this armor is basically scrapped, and the parts that are not damaged can only be disassembled into parts for other armor, and this warrior ......."

"I've seen enough." Lin Youde turned around and said to Green, "Now take me to see Matsudaira Chihiro." ”
