Chapter 31: Lanconi

Lanconi is the only road leading to Venucci, in the far west of the continent in the Great Plain of Venucci, you can see traces of the movement of the planet's plates, and there is a magnificent Great Rift Valley terrain between the entire Great Plain of Venucci and the Vanchy continent. Become a moat defense for the Great Plains of Venucci.

As the most powerful industrial force in the west of Vanchy. The best areas of Venucci are the two most prosperous areas, one is the center of the capital area in the central plain of Venucci, and the other is in Lanconi. Perched on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, Lanconi built the famous Lanconi Bridge over the Great Rift Valley, and while Fregero and King Rock of the Wasteland were still around, Lanconi was the most trading city in the Van Shee Land. The antimony mines of the wasteland, the supplies of Furigero, were imported from here by Venucci, and from here Venucci's industrial goods were exported to Vanchy.

If you can't take the Lanconi Bridge. It is impossible for the forces that Miana's air transport can support to win in the highly industrialized land of Venucci. Only by taking Lanconi and using Lanconi as a bridgehead can he fight the Doge in a decisive battle on the Venucci Plain.

Standing fifty meters away from the edge of the cliff, you can see the deep rift valley at the bottom covered with clouds, and a kilometer or two away is the same cliff on the other side of the rift valley, which looks particularly magnificent in the light of the sun. The clouds and mist in the deep valley flow with the air current, like water. From time to time, the rolling fog slapped against the boulders raised from the cliffs, and the flowing fog splashed up in the valley like a splash.

The rift valley is one or two hundred kilometers long, forming a narrow tube effect of air flow, and above the huge canyon, there are sometimes fast and sometimes slow air jets, which is a nightmare for aircraft. Looking at the sky from the ground, you can't see the risk zone in the sky at all, three minutes ago, a spiral page detection helicopter flew where, staged a clear air crash, the helicopter that was submerged in the rapids, the umbrella-like spiral blades swayed rapidly, just like our big umbrella was blown in the wind, the helicopter rolled in the sky air flow process, the large area of spiral blades could not withstand the wind pressure, like paper deformation. The helicopter spun around and crashed into the cliffs, scattering sparks and parts of the plane on the rock faces.

The crashed craft brought a shadow to the Battle of Lankoni. The Lanconi Bridge was built twenty years ago with the development of the economy due to the need for a distribution center for goods from Lanconi after crossing the Grand Canyon through the bridge. If this war had not given the city-state enough time to develop, it would have become the other half of the Lanconi economic circle. But war came.

When you reach this land, you can see all kinds of good signs of economic development, and on this side of the canyon, there are many hotel towns, and other neutral areas are clustered here. Of course, it would be inaccurate to say that neutrality was already preferred, and the people of this area were inclined to Vinucci, and if Miana's army launched a trade and money offensive in the area, they would not be able to buy a few hotels. Over time, most of the towns around Lanconi will unite at the behest of Governor Venucci to resist the invasion of Miana.

Therefore, after Miyana's army only bought one town in this land, the powerful force swept along the left side of the rift, as if it understood that this was the last battle of the Vanchy, and that the land of the Vanchy was about to usher in a long peace. The morale of the soldiers in Miana was high.

The buzzing airship is transported back and forth in the sky, and the dust built in the three scaffolding plates on the ground is flying, and the general construction is built by lifting materials one by one, and at this time, the building structure weighing more than ten tons poured on the ground is lifted from the air by the airship, just like the module assembly, like a patchwork toy, a steam fortress quickly emerges in the prototype.

The workers on the ground used to build a large structure, and the entire large structure of the upper floors of the fortress was built together. It's not like traditional buildings, if the ground floor is not built well, the high-rise cannot be built. Then the airship will be this big structure, most of these large structures, most of which have already been reserved for transportation in the city-state base here, and now they are just hoisted by airships, hanging beams, columns, load-bearing walls, chimneys, on the construction site, the airships are hanging these big guys, and enter the construction site, after the ground workers will shake the large building structure, stable and slowly put it in the right position. The airship that lifted the heavy load lifted off quickly with the load. Then he gave way to the airship behind him.

Many of Miana's forces attacked the surrounding neutral locations, recruiting heroic fighters (puppet armies) to overthrow the governor. In less than a day, where the main forces of Miyana stayed, the steam fortress and turrets formed a long fortification, and in one day, in the presence of the people on the left and right, they were erected.

After two days of wreaking havoc on the southern shore of the Ranconi Rift, Miana's assault army waited for the opponent Kiacomo wanted to wait. The Governor piloted his four-legged mech, leading a large number of Venucci legions from the north side of the Lanconi Rift through the bridge to the base on the South Bank. When the governor arrived, he was confronted with the fortress of Myana, which had been built seven kilometers from the city-state.

How close is seven kilometers, and the visibility in meteorological conditions is less than ten kilometers. You don't need a telescope to see it, but you can easily see Mia's defensive position from a little high vantage point in the small city-state on the southern bank of Lanconi.

During the time of rapid construction, the people of the city-state on the southern bank of Lankoni almost watched as the fortress of Miana began to be built. The buildings built are the most easily damaged, but near this threatening turret fortress is the large number of defenders of the relative city-state, the Miyana Legion. Until now the Governor has arrived.

Seeing that the scaffolding in the huge building had not yet been dismantled, the Governor immediately led his army to attack Miana, who was shooting the tower defense in front of his house.

A screeching sound of a heavy rocket compressing hydrogen and oxygen fuel was fired at the Governor's army in front of him. The heavy rockets that fell from the sky fell into the ground with an incomparably powerful shock wave, forcing the soldiers within a hundred meters to lie down under the sweep of the shock wave. The turret was also wrapped in scaffolding, and the high-pressure gunpowder gas pushed the iron egg out of the barrel. The steam spider hit by a metal cannonball was like a leather ball that was kicked violently, and after making a loud "bell" sound, the mechanical spider that was smashed by the cannonball, after rolling three times in the sky, fell to the ground, rolled violently on the ground, and fell into the entire column of a group of soldiers, and the metal thighs of the mechanical spider, in this roll, were like blade wire paper men. There were traces of bright red blood on the ground.

The turret that fired the cannon shook off the scaffolding hanging around it due to the violent anti-shock force of the gun. Not only this turret, but all the turrets and fortresses were built, but the scaffolding was not dismantled. Let the Governor think that it is not finished.

As the defenses erupted in flames, the Governor realized he had misjudged. The diamond-shaped ray emitter on the Governor's mech shoots a devastating ray at Giacomo, intending to turn defeat into victory.

A mechanical soldier blocked the direction of this ray, and the steel on the mechanical soldier's body was instantly ignited under the high temperature ray, and was instantly melted and heated to boiling metal, which was propped up by the gas inside, just like burning wood and blowing up sparks, and the mechanical soldier's body was extremely collapsed into a pool of debris and red-hot liquid by the high temperature.

The Governor's Destruction Ray cannot complete the burst, and the intense power output causes the internal temperature of the body to rise, and if it is not cooled down and the continuous fire, the transmitter will explode due to the inability to restrain the energy, and the mobile phone battery will explode. So when the Beam of Destruction was stopped by the mechmen, the Governor lost the chance to kill Giacomo in this battle. The robot that blocked the blow for Giacomo was controlled by Inoue.

The artillery cluster commanded by Ren Di opened fire on the charging Venucci legion on the ground, and Venucci's mechanical cluster, with the mechanical spider as the main force, was much more difficult to deal with than Montilagu's group of brainless mechs. The formation of these mechanical spider charges is very scientific, and it never happens that a single cannonball will destroy two mechanical spiders.

The belligerent troops in front were completely lost by the charge of the mechanical spiders, and only the turrets and the walls of the fortress were able to withstand the strength of the mechanical spider swarm. The war was not won, and if there was really no danger to defend, this wave of Venucci's army would have been able to crush the forces of Miana before the battle in the first charge. Now the rest of Miana's army is fighting these mechanical monsters with turrets.

The bullet with aluminum powder embedded in the metal skin of the mechanical spider and then emitted dazzling sparks that burned through the metal shell of the mechanical spider. High-temperature special bullet, an anti-device bullet that Andrew applied for the infantry he led. On the battlefield right now. The infantry relied on this bullet to inflict considerable damage on Venucci's mech.

After a volley of fires, the incendiary bullets will cause the mechanical spider's defensive shell to peel off due to the heat. Expose the fragile mechanical structure and boiling water boiler within. Since the battle is lifted by both sides, it is not a situation where two people can run if they can't beat each other. Governor Venucci gritted his teeth and fought the battle when he found out about it, eventually exhausting the army he had brought with him from the north shore of the Rift.

Leaving behind the broken mechanical forces, the governor retreated towards the city-state with the remnants of his army. Beneath the corners of the Steam Fortress are burning scaffolding, twisted and deformed war machines made for the purpose of killing, deformed mechanical spiders with short legs, mechanical soldiers that stick sharp blades into the Governor's mechs and never break in two, charred human corpses, and crippled and wailing horses.

However, the rhythm of the soldiers overshadowed these mournful elements, and Okmakaniri commanded the army and artillery towards the city of Venucci, deciding to take advantage of the victory. The city of Lanconi on the south coast. Half an hour later, the heavy artillery units lined up a hundred meters away from the city-state, and the white smoke from the chimneys of the steam cannon carriages soared upward, forming nearly identical columns of smoke under the same wind intensity.

Suddenly, all the gun carriages opened fire, all the gun carriages shook in unison, and the smoke from the chimney of the gun carriage was shaken, and the smoke from the chimney was broken.

The vibration of the gun carriage can be seen from the sudden disconnection of the column of smoke emitted, and the column of smoke that has risen into the air is like this, and the rise of one section becomes thicker. The frequency of artillery fire, the score in the sky. The bombers cruising in the sky spilled covering bombing rockets, and the rockets fired in a salvo from both wings were earth-shattering with the artillery shells crashing into the city. 、

The glowing city-state crumbled into debris. The city is about to be taken by Miana. The Doge had left the city and retreated to the North Shore.
