Standing beside the massive, majestic war machine, Holm couldn't help but look up in awe at its iron-gray armor and the pipes and mechanics that covered its shields, while beside him, the former commander of the Rock Fortress, now Cecil's officer, the Maryland Knight, let out a soft exclaim: "It's a beautiful machine, isn't it?" ”

Holm tilted his head slightly, glancing at the knight who had re-put on his armor and was loyal to the principality.

After a year-long labor reform and ideological reshaping, more than half a year of intellectual education, and a rigorous assessment and oath process, the former royal nobleman was given the opportunity to pledge allegiance to the lord of the southern realm.

He was once incorporated into the engineering unit of the Second Legion, participated in the construction and production of many areas in the north, witnessed with his own eyes, and experienced first-hand the rules of operation of the Cecil order.

In Cecil, there are not many "reformers" like him, after all, talent is scarce in this era, and some intellectuals in the early stage of production and construction must be selected from the old aristocracy, which may leave some hidden dangers in the future, but it is better than dying in the quagmire in the early stage of development.

And the Maryland Knights, who are reliable in their own right, should be considered one of the most trusted and expected people of this kind of "transformer".

Holm, who was born a serf but has now become one of Cecil's officials, laughed: "This is indeed a beautiful machine, and every part is beautiful. ”

He was a bit of a pun, but he was also admiring the war machine on the tracks beside him—the most powerful mechanism he had ever seen in his life, not just a transport, but also a weapon and a fortress, the brilliant creation of the Marquis Rebecca and master craftsman Nicholas, and the awe-inspiring blood and sweat of Cecil's industrious and intelligent workers.

It has two "arsenal sections" at the head and tail, a total of four large railguns and four of the largest super-heavy burners installed on the chassis of the car, and between the turret and the base of the burner are placed armored gun turrets that can accommodate combatants, depending on the battle situation, it can fire lightning, fireballs, and scorching rays to strafe the enemy to defend the train guns;

In the middle of the train is a large carriage known as the "Tactical Section", which, in addition to housing the train headquarters, is equipped with high-powered magic obelisks and communication devices, as well as ample weapons for self-defense;

The rest of the carriages of the train are the "carrying sections", those huge carriages can accommodate hundreds or thousands of soldiers, and the carriages can also be replaced with open chassis to transport all kinds of chariots.

Now, this terrible war machine has a total of twelve Warhammer-I tanks fixed on four carrier chassis, and those tanks are not only the "passengers" of the train, they are also a formidable force of armed force themselves - when they are fixed to the chassis, they are equivalent to small train guns, their turrets are even more flexible than the main guns of the "Iron Throne" itself, and at the command of the conductor, twelve additional tank guns can faithfully annihilate all the little people who dare to approach the "Iron Throne".

Heavily armed and reigning over the land, it was so powerful that when he saw it with his own eyes, Holm finally realized why a train was named "Iron Throne" - the iron-gray paint and rigid mechanical structure made it live up to the name "Throne", and even had a beauty that fascinated him, and at this moment, he even became a little jealous of the Maryland Knights.

"This is just the first Iron Throne," the Maryland Knight said with pride on his face, "and according to the plan, there will be follow-up Iron Throne-type armored trains to be put on the tracks to protect the land covered by the railway." Therefore, each column of the Iron Throne actually has a subdivision name - the full name of the column in front of you should be 'Iron Throne - Zero'. ”

"The original Iron Throne...... Holm nodded thoughtfully, then said, "We've been laying the railroad to the north these days. The situation in the East has deteriorated, but correspondingly, due to the lockdown of their territories and castles by the local lords, a large number of wilderness areas have become completely unmanaged, and almost no one hinders our activities—even if a few local lords interfere, they will not be able to make the climate in a scattered situation. ”

Maryland asked, "Where are those crystal cluster infections at the moment?" ”

"They are still operating in the area west of Fort Solin, with only a few muddy wanderers entering the east, and they are not yet a threat."

Maryland nodded slightly.

Obviously, the main target of the Society of the End of All Things is still the royal capital of Ansu, they have sent almost all the Crystal Cluster army to the front line in the northwest, and they pay little attention to the food that has been put on the table in the East - this is not difficult to understand, the East is the Typhon Empire on one side, and the eastern region of the Holy Spirit Plain has completely fallen on the other side, and most of the main military power and capable nobles in its territory have been lost in the pollution of the Holy Spirit Plain, for the All Things End Society that has the advantage, This land has been swallowed by them, and now all that is left is to slowly digest it.

But the Maryland knights knew that this situation would not last long - the Death Society had only temporarily adjusted their energy, not "digesting" the huge army they had suddenly mastered, and not completely gaining a foothold, but when they had completely wiped out the remaining resistance of the Kingdom Army on the Plains of the Holy Spirit, and when they arrived at the city of St. Sunil, they would begin to "absorb" the power from the east, and the population of this land would continue to be transformed into their crystal army, which could be used to sweep the remaining territory of Ansu.

And his task is to suddenly block the pass to the east from an unexpected angle before all this happens, and cooperate with Gawain? Cecil's "blockade" operation on the line of the Gorgon River.

In the past few months, White Sands Mining has built a large number of railways in the crossroads between White Sands and Gülen in the name of "building more roads to facilitate the transportation of ore", and the slow reaction speed of the local lords, combined with the White Sands Mining Company's monetary offensive against country knights, tax collectors, and civil officials, has made these railways almost as far as Silas? Under Loren's nose, and now, due to the increasing chaos in the east, Baisha Mining's actions to lay railways can be blatant.

……

On the east bank of the Gorgon River, north of the Rich Woodlands, the legions of steel casting began to advance.

In the middle of the river, the three magic warships led by the "Pioneer" opened their magic energy wings, and the brilliant rune brilliance shone above the waves of the Gorgon River, and the huge energy was gathered, compressed, and infused, and the heavy "Truth-I" type magic crystal railgun finely adjusted its angle with the assistance of the mechanical device, and with the deafening sound of the cannonball cutting through the air, the obelisk-like magic crystal cannonball rushed out of the track and flew straight into the sky-

In the shrill roar, the cannonballs falling from the sky fell to the earth, like a fire falling to the ground, the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed, and countless crystal giants who were dazed in the wasteland and wilderness disappeared before they could react, this blow exceeded the limits of their eyesight, and even exceeded the perception limit of the strongest of them, in the continuous fall of heavenly fire, the mutated limbs and crystal clusters were wiped out, and the huge crystal cluster army was torn apart, and then in the chaos they fought separately, searching for the enemy who did not know where to hide.

On the high ground on the bank of the river, the black-armored Steel Ranger warriors climbed onto the chariot observation platform, opened the tactical eyepiece, and kept an eye on the crystal monsters surging from the direction of the plains, while constantly sending back signals to the battleships in the river, guiding round after round of naval artillery bombardment.

After several rounds of naval artillery bombardment, the tank began to push forward, relying on tank guns and long-range howitzers in the rear to clear the way, wheels and tracks crushing the ground that had begun to heat up, and gradually advancing towards the area polluted by the crystal giants.

In the midst of this devastating torrent, the Iron Ambassador craned out its enhanced shield and drove ahead of the procession, and in each Iron Ambassador vehicle, the most alert soldiers watched the image reflected in the observation window, which had the spell effect of "Detect Distortion".

The entire land was shrouded in surging magical power in the field of view, which was flushed with the effects of the spell, and the arcane light of the crystalline giants that swayed in the smoke and dust was as striking as the candle flame in the dark night.

The candle flames on some of these individuals are particularly eye-catching.

The scout immediately turned the target to the gunner of the howitzer, and at the same time sent back a signal to the troops in the rear: "The command individual is observed, and the guided shooting begins." ”

The Steel Ambassadors who act as observation vehicles stop for a short time, stabilize the body, and then activate their respective vehicle-mounted howitzers - this small "main gun" is not very lethal, and sometimes it is even intercepted by the extremely powerful crystal cluster giants with shields, but as their long-range grenades whistle through the air and crash into the distant ground, hundreds of "Warhammer-I" main battle tanks in the rear will immediately focus their artillery fire in the direction marked by the grenades - this level of attack, Relying on one or two powerful cast units is impossible to intercept no matter what.

After a short but devastating round of shelling, a considerable part of the enemy will inevitably fall into disarray.

The tidal tide of crystalline giants charged at the enemies that came into their field of vision, their commanders dead before the charge began, and the charging giants ...... In the process, it will gradually degenerate into an out-of-control beast.

It will take about an hour for them to completely weaken, but most of them do not survive more than an hour.

Because they will unorganized, undisciplined, the line of death fire intertwined with artillery fire and burners, and will not dodge or dodge until it is reduced to ashes.

Due to the instinctive aggressiveness of the Crystal Giants after losing control, the Legion didn't even have to deliberately look for those enemies hiding in the blind spot or in the distance, as long as the cannon fire was still roaring, the monsters within a radius of almost a hundred miles would take the initiative to gather into the blazing purifying flames.

On the high ground in the rear, Gawain stood under the awning, quietly watching the scene on the distant plain, the battlefield full of artillery fire and flashes from the direction of the Gorgon River (occasionally a rainbow beam of astonishing scale and momentum swept across the riverbank) came into his eyes, near him, the mobile magic net relay vehicle was relaying dense communications from the Pioneer and the ground troops, several magic network terminals were projecting different images, the signal soldiers and commanders were busy between the equipment and the tactical map, the sound of commands, The sound of reports kept coming from all directions.

In a trance, he actually had a feeling of time and space confusion.

On the other side, the young Knight Philip was standing in front of the map table not far away, and a group of officers were paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, while Byron's holographic projection appeared next to Philip - through the magic net terminal, Byron who was far away on the Pioneer also seemed to be at the scene of the army headquarters.

In this plan, he asked the river fleet to support the ground forces with heavy artillery, and after initially tearing apart the legion array of the crystal cluster giants, the land tank troops moved forward, relying on long-range howitzers and other means to clear the field for the second time, and then before the crystal cluster giants reacted, the land troops quickly occupied a favorable position, and relied on heavy burners, fire-breathing infantry, white knights and other forces to completely purify the entire battlefield.

Based on this, Philip Knight developed a more detailed combat plan for land forces - relying on the Iron Ambassador as a reconnaissance vehicle, with the advantage of mobility and range, coupled with a reliable shield device, these vehicles will quickly lock onto the command nodes in the Crystal Cluster Legion in front, and remotely guide the artillery strike to destroy those nodes.

After this, the loyal Cecil Legion will rely on equally loyal incendiary weapons to eliminate those who have lost control.

These programs are surprisingly effective.
