Chapter 34: Rebirth and Decay
Resisting the onslaught of the beast tide requires a strong wall and an impermeable firepower network, and it is obvious that the kingdom's front line is not prepared in a hurry, so it is necessary for the knight brigade to serve as this strong wall.
In accordance with the requirements of the task, all the Steam Armored Knights underwent a special reinforced modification, which not only increased the thickness of the frontal armor, but also strengthened the firepower configuration, from armor-piercing guns specifically against armored units to multi-barreled water-cooled heavy machine guns.
Melee weapons have also changed from armor-piercing swords to large sawblades and giant axes.
In order to withstand the violent impact of strange objects, the legs have been weighted and the overall structure has been strengthened.
After building the fortifications that can be built before the beast tide arrives, the next thing is very simple.
The beast tide gathered and began to storm the kingdom's defenses, and the frontage, which was originally composed of armored troops, was now made up of steam armored knights.
The anti-aircraft positions opened fire first, and a dense net of fire enveloped the flying monsters that came to assault. Monsters that occasionally break through the fire network will be quickly killed by the anti-aircraft machine gun crews on the frontal line.
However, the number of strange things in the air is also increasing, and at this time, the air force needs to be dispatched, relying on its high rate of fire to attack the cloud of flying strange things in front of it.
The ground also began to bear the impact of the beast tide at the same time.
The battle lasted for almost a day, and the beast tide gradually subsided around nine o'clock in the evening.
By this time, searchlights and flares had dispelled the darkness of the entire area, and the burning flames were crackling.
The people who were holding their breath finally relaxed at this time, and the soldiers inside the trenches began to clean the trenches, collect the corpses and treat the wounded.
And the Steam Armored Knights now mostly have to wait for the help of technicians to get out safely.
In the impact of the beast tide just now, many mecha have different degrees of deformation, some of which cause the cab to be unable to open normally, and some are about to endanger the life of the driver.
Kimchi was lucky and was carried out by Hecesia in advance without waiting for the arrival of the technicians.
Looking at the chest armor that had been lifted like paper by Hecethea, he realized for the first time that he was the only one in the entire family, who was a relatively ordinary person.
It's a pity for the technicians who will carry out the repairs next, and the repair of this kind of violent demolition can be a difficult problem.
After a short break at the front headquarters, the head of the medical team attached to the technical department reported to Kimchi the casualties of the battle, which killed forty-three drivers.
This online number is not small, after all, this is only the first wave of beast tide, Kimchi and they received the task of withstanding at least three waves, if this is the case every time, wouldn't it be directly annihilated?
If you want to rely on Hessehya, you can't rely on it, the influence of the subspace storm makes the use of alchemy here a little unstable, and maybe the defense matrix used will become an explosion matrix.
Before Hessesia has mastered the power of living meteorites, the stronger the power she wields, the more unstable it will be under the influence of subspace.
And it is impossible for the military headquarters of the kingdom to abandon this border defense line, which has been built for a long time and cost a lot of manpower and material resources, in order to save its knight brigade, and retreat a few kilometers back to a place that cannot be affected by subspace.
Just when he was worried about what to do next, on the side of the Holy Kingdom, a bright light suddenly erupted.
The Rothel Kingdom immediately sounded the alarm. Of course, this is just a rule, and no one believes that the Holy Kingdom will pass through that dead land to attack their side.
If they dare, the subspace rift that they had spent so many resources to create was all for nothing?
It is also true that the Spirit Lord is trying to use a large alchemy matrix to purify this area on the other side, but it has failed. It's so badly corroded by subspace, and a lot of soldiers are dying here.
Some things die in a very cruel way, so either this area can be wiped out directly, and then with the strength of the power that can be used now, it will not be able to purify this place at all.
But it doesn't matter, the Spirit Lord originally wanted to stabilize the situation in the frontier and try to purify this subspace.
Since you can't, you can complete the task of stabilizing the frontier and take De La Loan for a tour by the way.
However, both the Spirit Lord and Hecethia faintly felt each other, because they both had the ability to live meteorites.
But neither Hecehiah nor the Spirit Lord had time to ponder what that dark feeling was.
Although the purification of the spirit lord has no obvious effect, it indirectly weakens the strength of the beast tide and increases the cycle.
Kimchi had more time to prepare. In order to reduce casualties, Kimchi decided to pay the price of the Steam Armored Knights.
Add to this the various parts produced by the automated factories left over from the South Loa Empire, and the cost of a steam armored knight in Serbia is already lower than the cost of training a driver.
So he asked Hessehia to help make a massive modification of all the Steam Armored Knights who survived the last beast tide, inscribed an alchemy matrix on the base skeleton to strengthen them, and an alchemy matrix in the engine to enhance power output.
Weapons and shields have been supplemented with auxiliary power packs, which use the immense propulsion of steam to resist the kinetic energy carried by the impact of strange objects.
These modifications are irreversible damage to the armor in the subspace erosion area, and it is likely that the matrix has not yet been aged, and the skeleton will break due to the depth of the matrix inscription.
But there is no way around it. The military department was clearly determined to consume the Serbian backbone.
Now that a large part of the old air force led by the group has made it clear that they are suppressing the development of Felianvinoer's power, they should preserve their own strength as much as possible no matter what aspect of their considerations.
。
On the front line of the Rhine Alliance and the Holy Kingdom, if the Spirit Lord wants to make the frontline army unable to withdraw and be forced to slowly accept its adaptation, then the Rhine Alliance needs to be strong enough.
Then the result is very simple, while adjusting the pressure of the Cang Dynasty on the Rhine Alliance, so that they can have more troops to move at will on the southern and eastern fronts.
Then control the frontline troops of the Holy Kingdom to launch an attack on the Alliance. No matter how much the front-line commander didn't want to obey the Spirit Lord's order to attack, he had to obey in this situation.
After completing the arrangements for the front, the next step is to face the southern government.
The southern government apparently knew what was going on in the north, and they were obviously more dependent on the support of hidden forces than those in the north, without strong industrial power.
Therefore, after getting the exact information, all the hidden forces, regardless of whether there was a backhand left by the spirit master, all piled up to the front line.
This made the Southern Army's offensive more and more intense, and finally broke through the combined defense line of the Duchy of Dunling and the Duchy of Gaul, and entered the Duchy of Dunling.
As the Duchy of Dunling retreated, and it became increasingly difficult for organizations such as the Restoration Army to influence the occupied areas to the south, which became more and more stable, the southern government saw the opportunity and immediately began to move a significant part of itself further south.
And in the south of the original Holy Country, they were not completely without resistance, and those who tried every means to enter the Holy Country to cause destruction were deliberately sent to the north by the southern government.
This was a clever move, but it only delayed the Spirit Lord's southward advance.
As for the Duchy of Dunling and the Duchy of Gaul, these two countries are facing the Holy Kingdom that is stacked with hidden power like mad demons, and they are not afraid of causing a natural disaster-level beast tide.
The Imperial Guard was fully dispatched, the Invalides and the Arc de Triomphe were moved to the front line, and the ancient dragons of the Duchy of Dunling directly dispatched nine, leaving only one to defend the capital of the principality.
The earth-shattering battle of the hidden power of the two sides finally triggered a tide of monsters of the natural disaster level of strange things that have only been recorded in legends.
The beast tide was so large that the entire plain area was flooded, and all obstructions such as small hills were swept away.
At this moment, both sides were uncomfortable. In order to resist the tide of beasts, ordinary soldiers and even ordinary military alchemist troops are insufficient, and more stealth forces and more powerful alchemists must be dispatched.
As a result, the front line of the Southern Army of the Holy Kingdom and the Duchy of Dunling was even more like a hell on earth than the border between the Kingdom of Rothil and the Holy Kingdom.
The army on the front line can only deal with the large army of the beast tide, and the strange things scattered in the countryside can only wait for someone to contact the armed police.
Until the army or any armed force arrives, those who encounter strange things will have to fend for themselves.
。
In the third week after the Spirit Lord returned to Sanctuary City to lead the southward expansion, the cities along the border between the north and the south were basically under the complete control of the northern government.
At the same time, the knight brigade led by Kimchi finally completed the set goal after more than half of the casualties and began the return journey.
What the military department did this time completely meant that Fellianvinoer and the forces led by the old air force broke with each other in all respects except on the surface.
The old air force, after the last time Ferenovier showed off a new type of air warship, was completely determined to pressure Fellenvinoel to abandon the concentration of military power.
And Fellan Vinolle had already decided to fight that part of the force to the end before deciding to land on the airfield of the Paulsk garrison.
The two sides have not yet reached the point of life and death, and the old air force still thinks that it can rely on means to finally coerce Feevinoel to give up too much military power.
And Fleven did not want to end the political battle once and for all by armed struggle.
Kimchi and Hecehia and the survivors of the knightly brigade returned the same way. This time it was on a transport ship of the Navy. This was the last batch of military support given to Flavinoer, and the rest of Serbia's reconstruction would only come from the Ministry of Finance and the Colonial Administration.
Fortunately, there are things left over from the South Loa Empire, otherwise Serbia would not have been able to complete its own infrastructure in a short time.
After returning to Serbia, Kimchi can finally rest and rest. And the people of this family have finally survived the busiest time.
The tidal generators and the small Gaia Crown left over from the South Loa Empire provided enough energy to sustain the scale that Serbia had expanded for the next decade.
The integrated industrial system, as well as a number of small new factories and designated military factories, began to produce all kinds of necessities steadily.
The Serbian army and navy already have a mature team, and only the air force needs to invest more forces to strengthen construction.
Four new frigates have now been produced, and the dockyard is now building new destroyers.
The new destroyer was doubled in size from the original frigate, and its armament was equipped with an electromagnetic cannon, four alchemical guns, eight rapid-fire turrets, and sixteen machine gun turrets.
In terms of power, the traditional red mercury boiler was used instead.
The power pack technology of large-scale lifting machinery cannot be completed by one person or a group of elites, but can only be studied by multi-department collaboration.
Time was of the essence, so the traditional model was used with proven and reliable technology.
Traditionally constructed destroyers were the specialty of the veteran craftsmen, and in addition to the electromagnetic guns, the command room system, and all sorts of things that were unique to Fellernvinoer's forces, they soon began to train the young craftsmen to do the same.
Kirsten now only needs to direct the relevant departments to build the electromagnetic cannon every day.
And Felenvinoer can also take a break now, the South Loya Empire will not attack, and the military department will not bother her for the time being, and she only needs to look at the important government affairs in Serbia.
Veroya had to continue to study the things that Ashur had designed in the first place, but that research didn't take much time.
In Serbia's newly built Kalan Mansion, families get together for a rare meal and chat.
There is no fixed topic, there is nothing to avoid, and you can say whatever comes to mind.
In order to fit in, Hessehia talked about her brother's childhood when she couldn't find a topic.
Kimchi only listened to Hessehia about it, but he didn't know if there would be anything in the details that would make him feel embarrassed now, so he didn't want Hessehia to continue the topic.
However, the others were interested, except for Kelvisia and Reinhardt, especially Kirsten, Ferryvinoer, and Veroa.
This time, Veroya won't be protecting her brother.
Finally, the stupid things Kimchi had done in his childhood were exposed by Heceshia.
The complex taste of Kimchi is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
I can only laugh along with it. Among them, the one who laughed the most was Kirsten, and Kirsten was Kimchi's childhood sweetheart, and she couldn't control her mouth when she heard that there were so many fun things.
Damn, we must get back on the field tonight! Kimchi thought viciously.
。
South Loya Empire, the mainland region of the False Empire.
Now it has become a lair of living meteorites. All ground forces on the side of the Reich have been expelled.
Controlled by living meteorites, cyborg soldiers and androids wield a variety of anti-aircraft weapons and shore defense artillery, threatening the remaining air power and naval fleets of the False Empire.
Only the Empire's native armies will be able to effectively hit construction targets on the False Empire's continent.
And that's exactly what the Reich did, with thousands of rockets coming at the False Reich every day, bombarding the anti-aircraft equipment.
But this is useless, this living meteorite has fully absorbed the technology on the false empire, and now the South Loya Empire needs to face the attack of an entire false empire of the same level of civilization.
And with the first successful metamorphosis of living meteorites, they will know why their ancestors, together with Eshur and the people who had been eroded by living meteorites, could not defeat them.
Living meteorites, which are now in the metamorphosis stage, do not move, but are sleeping.
This living meteorite does not have any genetic memory, and does not know that this is the time when it is most vulnerable, and the South Loya Empire believes that the previous attack has exhausted the living meteorite, so it thinks that its approach is effective.
This pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes has done this and has become a thing that makes anyone in the war era seem to laugh and be generous.
As the living meteorite began to slowly condense, its outer carapace ceased to be revital, and noticeable cracks began to appear under the blow of the Imperial Army's laser cannon array.
The Empire believed that this was caused by the fact that the living meteorite was on the verge of resurrection under their constant attacks, so the Empire continued to scrub the ground with attacks of this intensity.
It's just that what they don't know is that this kind of washing is just the external stimulus to the living meteorite that is degenerating. Without external stimuli, this living meteorite is likely to die because it doesn't know anything.
Now it's all right with the South Loya Empire, and there are no conditions to create conditions for it.
A week later, just when the South Loya Empire thought that it was about to deal with the living meteorite that was already "dying" entrenched in the false empire, the huge body of the living meteorite directly produced a sky-high explosion.
Before the Empire could react, a massive metal machine emerged from the cloud of dust from the explosion.
It was a giant monster that was more than four hundred meters high. The whole body is made of metal from the False Empire and metal created by the living meteorites themselves.
The most lethal thing on its body is its dozens of 8,800 mm caliber cannons, as well as countless rockets, laser cannon arrays, and intercontinental missile launchers.
When this scene was seen, the terminal control system in the Holy Council initiated an emergency procedure, temporarily taking control of the entire fortress world and pouring all the energy into the protection system.
In the next moment, the huge mechanical monster was completely enveloped in the smoke released by the artillery, various missiles, and rockets.
Such terrifying firepower directly covered the surface of the entire fortress world, if it weren't for the sound insulation and vibration isolation function of the defense system, maybe everyone in the world would be shocked to death.
